Trading also reflects behavioral conditioning based on pattern set by manipulators in the months following the start-up. Conditioned behaviors die hard.

Scientist Ivan Pavlov's dog received a treat at same time a bell was rung. The treat naturally caused the dog to salivate (prepping food for further digestion). Pavlov made a device to measure dog's salivation response. After a number of times feeding the treat at the ring of a bell, Pavlov found that the dog would salivate just by ringing of a bell with no treat offered. Dog's behavior was "conditioned." Only over a long period of time of ringing a bell and offering no treat did the dog stop salivating thereby "extincting" the conditioned behavioral response.

If the market sees, again and again, that SK can't hold gains, it becomes gun-shy about big gains and trades them off -- thereby making the work of the shorts much easier. Stock manipulators are well-read on Pavlov and Skinner; that's a big reason why the manipulators of SKTO are hell bent on collaring the gains. To keep the conditioning intact. Shorts have probably made a ton off stifling SKTO since startup. It's been their chuck wagon.
