You're making an excellent point.
And given the fact that yesterday there were tweets again by JF and AF (after months of silence), only tells me that further manipulation will happen. I do expect negative articles again, full of twists and factual untruths, but that is the game.
Luckily this time the pps has not been inflated like in November.
Furthermore, there has been a big increase of postings on this board in the last couple of days and arrival of many new posters. This too is a sign on the wall.
