I agree that certain institutions can ruin a stock in certain environments. Seen it happen before and see it happening yet today, but not in SLI, i dont think. The difference with SLI, for the institutions, will be (hopefully) that our total shares doesnt rise that much. With a small shares structure, say under 130million, and most of the shares held by people as you say, there will be little wiggle room for the big guys, and maybe they will behave and come along for the ride. IMO
