Matt:
Of the sixteen oil companies which are on my watch list, only one of them is on your list. Namely, Suncor.
After two and a half years of owning Connacher, I simply recognize facts which can be explained only by empirical observation, no other rational way. Additionally, it is precisely because I am patient that I continue to hold Connacher and have never sold a share. The manipulation is commonly intended to cause alarmed investors to sell off cheap shares.
As for approving of the games which I see played on a regular and ongoing basis, I think not. What I believe is absurd, is to sit there and be unwilling to countenance the potential that Connacher is a frequently manipulated stock. And please, don't try to convince anyone that manipulation of equites does not exist.
For future reference, if you have a problem with a conclusion of mine, then please ask me to explain my thesis prior to accusing me!
