It's a pattern, but where is the manipulation?? As you yourself have pointed out recently, this company has claimed to be on the verge of selling qdots for years, yet they have never materialized. The sales may be just around the corner, they may be months or years away, or they may never occur. Until the market sees some proof that a sale will occur, there is no reason for an outsider to buy, and people already in must get sick of seeing the market move higher and higher as this sinks away.
And before you know who says it, waiting for market to develop, only 3 years, only 2 kgs, vetted, dream team, et al.......
