Absolutely...and you do well to remind me that manipulation doesn't just come into play when a stock is walked down, but walk "ups" (that's how you referred to it if memory serves) can and do happen as well imo.

The magic of course is to try and guess when the worm is going to turn....obviously whether a stock is being walked up or down, its not going to be an elevator straight up to the top floor, and its not going to fall every day to the basement....there are going to pauses and reversals during either trend.   Hopefully after touching down around $1.80 we're on our way back up, with some obvious hiccups along the way.
