"if you can't beat them, join them", as the old saying goes...I have altered my investing protocol by buying at the lows each time they take it down, and then selling off when the stock is taken back up...I have been successful as of late...this morning, I bought at 9.81 to replace the stock that I sold yesterday at 10.41....what I have noticed by the way the algorithms move the stock, is that it takes the stock down in the morning to establish lows, then moves the stock up on low volume, then back down again, and then keep a tight lid on the movements the rest of the day until closing time, at which the next day trading pattern is established... also, the price seems to be indexed to the DOW performance....I still hold a sizable chunk of my stock long, some is out on options, but the rest I have been using for gaming...I kick myself in the pants for letting all of those years go by, holding long, and not selling, only to let huge profits slip by... one thing is for certain.....short sellers do not ply their game unwittingly...they know that this coop saga is far from closing and any corporate event is far off...why else would they not close positions?... they had plenty opportunity at the 6 dollar level... but what have they been doing?.. why of course upping the short positions to over 6.5%, of O/S shares, as well as double digit short volumes each day....they KNOW, we don't Know...so thats why I decided to join them in this fallacious trading that they do with impunity.... good luck, and stay safe, and keep your hands clean....Lodas
