When you only see a small run and then a stock fade back away . More than likely just one of the finance guys that decided to hire a team and run it for him to dump his shares , that happens more often than you seeing a big group run one for a whole group of finance guys. Volume will help tell you that. A $5K buget does not buy you much these days and if they get a 4 to 1 return on their investment the promoter did well and will not need to go out for free on day 2 .
