Good to know that you see this play the way it is. I don't know about the "crooked" part or not, nor do I really care. What I care about is exactly what you have stated your post and what I have stated in several of my posts, they need this to run.....
Isn't that why we are all here in the first place, to get into a good position on a stock and let it run so we can take profits along the way? I know so, and I am glad to hear that you agree.
