It is a theory that Dr Patterson's TED talk is what drove the sp to $10, I personally feel this is not entirely true. In my experience, a SP that rises that fast and that much and then falls abruptly is all part of the same pump and dump process. the fall was only possible with the rise. The sp had no reason to go to $10, the fall to $3 was made possible by attracting the new traders jumping in jumping out. I could be wrong, but this is all part of the manipulators playbook. Many of these trading gurus have followers so they can create these occurrences, they are often playing against the followers.
As a side note, I also am starting to think Dr Patterson's occupancy test is not flawed, it just was not consistent with all the data in the combo trial and the FDA had a problem with it. It is likely not BP's fault, it is just part of the FDA experience. Nader is not at fault either and I doubt has any problem with BP. The situation with getting the BLA filed is being handled and we are moving forward, no need to make a soap opera about it.
