Major, That's a very interesting theory... I had considered the possibility of competitors making sure Marani wouldn't gain any market share, but not the hostile takeover theory. Very possible. Obviously, the clear motive of the defamation campaign is to keep demand for the stock at bay, thereby driving down the share price. I've never seen so many individuals tag team bashing a stock on a daily basis. Some appear to be highly educated. They also seem to know information not available to the public. There has to be a lot of potential money involved for this group to be putting forward such an effort. OBV data tells me that someone has been accumulating. That fits into your theory...
