You are correct, Tim Sykes and many others have their system and a small stock that moves 20% in a day is a magnet for them. Also, the Tim Sykes of the world work hard to create a large following (he has 1.5 million followers on Twitter) for his system to work. He is not cluing in his followers out of the goodness of his heart, he is doing it to create his own opportunity. Why would these "experts" go to so much effort to offer an "education" into their trading system? Why don't they just follow their own system and make tons of money and not bother teaching others? do they make money off following their own system or off selling their educational memberships? It is to gather a following that will trade in a coordinated way at the request from a IM. Tim is likely front running his own trading off the actions of his followers. Any stock that moves 20% in a day has a large number of new investors that will easily dump the stock they invested in yesterday at the first sign that they may have bought at the wrong time. Himself and his followers will jump on that and be out in a hour.
What does this mean for the long term investor in CYDY, not much. these actions have a lifespan of hours and the tim sykes of the world are already out of their position before you can ask what happened. These are not people that hold short positions, they are out in a day. this does not change the trials and the science of Leronlimab and it does not change the opportunity. It does make it difficult to raise funds and to uplist however. I hate these traders mostly because they are not interested in knowing anything about the investment and how difficult it is to actually build something from nothing. they are small minded and selfish.
