Of course it can affect the SP of a small cap stock like M4M. Did you even read what the OP wrote? You're either very ignorant or naive to think that retail speculators/investors don't read the material posted on HC, and from what I've seen over the past few weeks, the volumes have been quite low overall which would indicate the 'small boys' chucking in the towel. Selling often begets more selling. When someone is posting mostly misinformation and outright negative comments about the company to instil fear, Uncertainty and doubt, often at length (and at a vulnerable and critical time) and multiple times per day it is a bit more than "someone posting on HC".
Seriously, if you don't believe that the current BOD are building this into a mid-tier Pilbara iron ore Producer, then I hope you do sell out and FO on the next pump as you describe.
