My theory - there is some shorting and there is some loading cheapies. Right now short positions are being covered while long positions are being filled. Manipulation is an attempt to keep the price at a certain point until the anchor is ready to be pulled and the ship is ready to move towards the next destination. Then it's wash, rinse, repeat all over again. It must be a very large position for this group as evidenced by the desperation and time spent by these posters. I also do believe they are paid to bash and most likely commissioned by the amount of responses they solicit. Once this really starts moving up they will either go away or become positive possibly through an alias change. It's blatant manipulation.
