CXPI.....Well that makes sense now(Reg SHO). Someone was determined to cap the price while they were short and looking for shares. Hence the very "controlled" stock price for weeks.
It reminds me of an awesome book I read years ago written by a NYSE "specialist" from the 1970's. It was one of the most interesting books I had ever read on the markets. It detailed a long "campaign" spanning years of a single stock he was a "specialist" in. How he "controlled" it and made afortune off of it in a few years span.
It detailed how he "helped" the stock bottom out..... how he quietly accumalated it at it's lows.....how he managed his "inventory" as it was "marketed" from $1 or so to $50 in a few years.
EXCELLENT book....if I remember the name I will let you know. It was a very obscure but EXCELLENT read!
