thought that Big Pharma is manipulating DNDN stock is absolutely, laugh-out loud ludicrous...

Don't be so sure of what you are saying walldiver, it has happened before. Imatron a few years ago was a very promising company that had developed the fast e-beam driven CT scan to test the heart for arterial blockages. At the time, it was suspected by most that GE capital was hammering the stock because GE wanted to take it over and all the analysts were bashing Imatron. Most "non-conspiracy theory" posters made fun of those claims and ridiculed those that brought them up. The Imatron stock languished at about $2 and eventually ran into financial problems because they could not get financing at favorable terms... Guess what! GE stepped in as predicted and bought the whole company for $2/share... After that GE started advertising this wonderful new discovery (called 64 CT scan now) which has now become one of the most lucrative products in GE medical's arsenal...

Sam may be absolutely correct in saying that big pharma may be currently playing a dirty game with DNDN and setting it up for a cheap takeover. Whether people like to admit it or not, a successful cancer immunotherapy platform for DNDN could hurt the finances of many big pharma/biotech players including DNA, so do not knock the idea of them possibly being part of the scam trading we are witnessing with DNDN and the analysts that cover it...
