It's not a joke or manipulation. If you bought at $1.25 and have enough shares that selling at $1.67 makes you money, and you have been watching long enough to know that the share price will go down again (which it ALWAYS does), then you make some profit and maybe reinvest.

I did NOT do the above scenario, I am just explaining why once again EMOTION should not be part of investing. It's about the bottom line and the bottom line only.
