I thought I'd respond since I saw my name inserted. I take it your negotiations comment might be a tad facetious. Please check my post history. I was one of the first posters to raise the question of wash trading and phony stock volume...months ago before it was cool.
I have little doubt that we have witnessed stock manipulation. My hope is that management has a valid reason(s) for their lack of details in the last CC (IE Microsoft). Regardless, I still believe management did a poor job with their choice of words and cutting the CC short. I have little doubt that has lead us to where we are now, manipulation or not.
Yes, we have had some trolls on this board IMO. But who decides who is a troll? Reading the board, according to some posters, if you dissent then you must be a troll. IE Longs = Good = 100% correct and Naysayers = Bad = 100% incorrect. Not so simple.
Let's keep the discourse of ideas flowing. Allow each poster to decide what is junk versus worthy info. I say this as a guy who is in the red considerably.
