It currently is very cheap for an entity to keep I

Now let’s use the same example and we wake up some morning soon and the share price has spiked up to $3.00/share after a partnership announcement. There is an abundance of NEW buyers beyond the pesky longs that have been holding on for dear life. These new buyers drive REAL volume up to levels that we have previously never seen on IPIX as the entire biotech, pharmaceutical and Wall Street industries take notice and buy their tickets for a piece of a rising biotech star.
Back to our manipulator. That same $27,500 bank-roll would now only buy 9,166 shares vs the 250,000 shares currently. 9,166 shares will be a rounding error if legit volume raises to 500,000 to 1M shares daily. To control that same 5% of overall share price at $3 as the example above the manipulator would now have to take a daily hit of 15 cents vs a half a cent per share. A 15 cent loss on the same 250,000 shares would now be $37,500 loss per day vs only $1,250 currently. The cost of poker has just significantly gone up for the manipulator. The manipulator knows that $3/share is just the start as many of the new investors are just as pesky as the current longs and are looking for $10-$20/share exit strategies as Brilacidin and Kevetrin advance to market.
At some point the law of supply and demand wins. It always does.
