Because the blatant manipulation has almost exclusively been downward, and for years on end. A tiny trade in the opposite direction is like a gnat's wings against a hurricane of manipulation; practically inconsequential. Also, now the price per share is simply back where it was, on high volume, before the last few tiny trades brought it back down. As they say, the trades at higher volume are more reflective of where the stock is really going. Low volume is very manipulation-prone.

The higher volume trades have been overwhelmingly buys, in recent weeks. In the absence of manipulation, the price would reflect that (increased price when there's more buys than sells!) The pinball table is still tilted toward the downside, very dramatically. A teeny vibration in the other direction, and you complain?

P.S., I never enter tiny trades. I get partial fills on my limit orders, but I don't horse around with small trades, nor do I ever attempt manipulation of share price. Spreading good news about a stock is completely legitimate, as is countering false claims and biased writings. I've always disclosed that I'm long DNAG stock, as well. That does make a difference, legally and ethically.
