"explain to me where all the shares came from during the run up and how the process works and then what happens on the way down,"

Well now tc, you know I'm a little slow, after all teremoto says I'm a dim bulb. I'm not quite sure what you mean by "where all the shares came from". Would you please be a little more specific. Are you talking about just the sold shares? Are you going to try to argue it was all from MM inventory? S&L? Whatever your answer, I will try to respond if it comes out to be an actual honest question, and not some lame, cockamamie conspiracy theory that has no basis in logic.
