This is quite an interesting and possibly useful website. I'm positive I'll find multiple uses for it as I grow accustomed to its offerings, being as they are so broadly based. It's a treasure trove for sure and now resides in my favorites list.

Methinks we all agree wholeheartedly with your take regarding ALDW's virtually certain higher valuation in the relative near term. As a momentum player I can't help noticing end-of-day trends in trading moves. Nearly every day we will find a sudden shift in bias, sometimes depicting an almost alarmingly sweeping move to the upside. Invariably, this occurs without any news whatsoever.

So what does this mean? And can we/should we dare regard it as having take-away value or is it nothing more than the buzz of a mosquito as it gasps for air after being spritzed with poison?

Mine is but one opinion and should not be favored over that of another and most certainly before the individual investor's. That said, this scenario---at least in my mind---smacks of market manipulation. Of course I have no absolute proof of such shenanigans but lacking concrete proofs doesn't disqualify the likelihood of the sun rising in the morning or breakfast hunger.

What I believe we have here is a preponderance of evidencs pointing to something many may not even be thinking:

What force (s) out there have anything to gain by manipulation?
Why does all this even add up to possible manipulation?
Aren't there laws handed down by the SEC restricting such things?

I'm not going to address these questions just yet as I really would like to hear what YOU think. And while my conclusions might mean something to me, I can't speak for others. I respect all ideas and look forward to meaningful discussion.

One thing I will state unequivocally though---when I see broadly sweeping dynamic price moves, I recognize energy contained within. Those moves along with their dynamism broadcast (to me) that there's a lot more going on than a surface consideration might recognize, let alone be able to factor. If anything about a trader leads to leaving profits on the table, I say it's the failure to understand market energies.
