I would agree with you DD. There are many who watch this and other boards and simply don't post, but read everything that is written here. I think we do have a lot of strong hands here who are simply biding their time until something happens.
MM's are fine allowing this cellar boxing to continue as long as it needs to until something else (hopefully a PR) happens to force power volume that would resurrect a bid. They make their money either way.....
Remember people to only play with the money your wife/husband/significant other won't disembowel you for should you lose everything if your stock goes the way of the dodo!
