Well put kayaker...." No one ever suggests manipulation when the stock price goes up".

It is a wonderfully manipulated market.....both ways.  Trump tweets something and immediately there are HFT types with algorithms ready to pounce and profit from the increased exposure the POTUS brings.  

At least with companies that are profitable there is a core value....but even a dividend stock can be manipulated, up or down.  And with a company like Resverlogix with nothing but hope and promise....10 cents or 10 bucks could be justified in my opinion.
