Did everyone see the article about the two guys who were arrested for manipulating stock prices of 2,000 thinly-traded stocks? They used multiple accounts with different identities, trading between them to run the price up and then would dump their positions at huge profits.

I would be very surprised if AVXL were not on that list of 2000 stocks. Does this look like normal, non-manipulated trading to you?

And although I stopped reading the board at the other site, before those run-ups some people were pumping madly, and some of the traders' groups openly discussed their strategy of pumping stocks up to unsustainably high levels. The question is whether they were associated with these two creeps, or whether they spotted that manipulation was going on, and just jumped on board.
