The "DNAG shuffle" was always caused by a combination of very well understood factors:

- A lot of very cheap shares exist (a glut, you could call it,) and demand hasn't yet tightened it up sufficiently (but that is slowly changing, I think)
- People sometimes buying in without limit orders (causing price to spike.) This in turn tends to excite other buyers, and the spike can escalate quickly.
- One or more people exploiting this spike in price, selling massive quantities of stock into the rally, crushing it (deliberately, I think, so they can continue playing the "sweet spot" of manipulating and exploiting the stock and the stockholders. Works best at very low share prices, something the SEC and informed traders are very well aware of.)

Now that people appear to have taken heed, and are buying in with limit orders (never with a simple market order,) and are generally wising up to these factors, the DNAG shuffle hasn't happened, despite relatively large transactions lately! Good!
