While it's true that certain posters (Sol is one) pump or raise concerns about the company based on the current side of the flip they're on, I don't believe their efforts convince anyone except the newbie investor who is new to the stock, and doesn't realize their pattern of behavior. You can tell Sol's current status by looking at whether the posts are pro or con. Really simple to figure out. Whether that has any effect on share price is open to speculation. I believe Sol thinks it does, and that's why this behavior continues, but believing all those posts has any impact on share price doesn't make it reality.
As another poster stated, we typically see a pullback after one of Gerald's Blogs when expectations are replaced by reality. In this case, the data we were expecting from LymPro is being held at least another 2 weeks, so a pullback is not unexpected. I read the blog and while I was happy to get the update, I also felt the carrot was once again being dangled just a bit further out. Some apparently saw this as an opportunity to cash out some of their shares after the recent rise with expectations of getting back in at a lower price. Not sure how that can be called a pump and dump. That name seems to pop up mainly from investors/traders who have too much invested here to be able to sleep comfortably at night.
Missing an opportunity to profit on a price swing doesn't make this a bad investment, or make one a bad investor. I've missed many swings where I could have made a profit, and I tend to look at what I could have made had I traded. But that's looking at the price swings AFTER they've happened. My history of trying to trade in and out isn't good, so I choose to remain fully invested in AMBS. My focus is on the road ahead, not the rear-view mirror. GLTY
