Paul,
I don't think your suspicions make makes sense.
It is logical that one would ride a wave from $.50 to $7.00, and when the stock returns to $2.35 suddenly sell because
1. You decide all your due diligence has been wrong, and now that FNC and PRB are turning drills, and an update from NOT on Eagle Two , chromium, nickel and windfall gold is imminent, and the price is lower then its been in 9 months - this is a great time to get out.
AND
2. If you're getting out, you might as well be a jerk about it and pump the stock using deceipt so you can make an extra 5 cents per share (as if you could).
Maybe ONE guy out her would do this (mistakes are made) but nothing to get paranoid about on a vast scale - and besides... this means that deep down you agree with his newly found 'get out' philosophy, and to me, that makes no sense either!
