Continuing the discussion regarding high frequency trading...
Here we are, down 24 cents, just 2 cents above the low of the day.
This is blatant fear-based manipulation and nothing more. There's no news suggestive of anything amiss with the company itself. In fact, this bullshit was contrived to make us think otherwise. At the very least, we're supposed to run and hide under the nearest rock and admit we don't know what we're doing and don't stand a ghost of a chance to rind the wheels under our feet.
What a crazy crock of meaningless drivel! We're as sane as the absence of meaningful news causing ALDW to drop like this.
Stand your ground, folks---don't let fear occupy a corner in your investor's mind. The volatility, as stated earlier, is a scheduled act of aggression brought by individuals controlling bigger money than we have and using machines, their feelings are nonexistent and thus it is to be presumed that we will be at their mercy.
Bull! I'm my own boss and answer to nobody but my wife and friends. Machines programmed to frighten humans away won't qualify in any way. For this reason we've got to stand our ground.
Today's spread is obviously greater than that we've been acknowledging, right? This morning I saw it coming and warned that this would soon be happening. So what? It's par for the course but in this instance our balls are not white and little with all those cute little dimples all over them.
So we stand strong and firmly committed. And we wait for the manipulators to reverse their course or find themselves caught in their own trap.
It won't be long now. Hang tough. And if you've got dry powder, I'll betcha you're gonna be able to scarf up some cheap units over the next couple of weeks.
