The counter attack is like with Gold, etc. Give them a double lashing on positive news to sap the morale of the longs and shake out the weak hands! With MAG and many others it is exactly the same trading strategy.

They have been doing this on a continual basis since September last year and got away with it all the way up to $1033, with the juniors at the same time going in the opposite direction. It is an all out psychological warfare no prisoners taken, no mercy. They want your money and not leave you a chance to come back.

Hopefully the concerted actions of Jim Puplave and Jim Sinclair each in their own right will bring these illegal actions in bright daylight and put a stop to it.
