I've never been able to tie that technical stuff to real life. I'm just real happy when the share price is rising (whether from manipulation, Shorts covering their positions, Longs buying up the float). Ideally, I hope it is Longs buying massive quantities. Because, that puts the shares into stronger hands, and makes less available to Shorts. Of course, when the price goes down, it is showing Short action and Market Maker manipulation. I'm sorry, but this is the only way I can see it working. Because, who else would be stupid enough, and heartless enough, to sell their shares in this company. I am bullish! Forever waiting on more good news!
