Manipulated by filings with the SEC and looking for discussion on a public forum for enjoyment and enlightenment from others. You are right it truly is pumped and bashed...but, you can gain some insight if you put your BS filter on high....
And honestly, if you don't think RS's do not have a negative effect on stocks look again. It can go both ways though, I will admit that.... Technically it does not affect share value or market cap. But wow, what radical swings they cause. If you are forever long on this stock shouldn't be a problem.
Wasn't looking for a fight, should have known better....
