* Traders expect "Company Events" 6-to-9 months in advance !
* Traders know the Date, or Time-Frame, of the Company Event.
* Traders / Market Makers, can and do, manipulate a stocks price Down, to the desired price level, (Bid 0.00 - Ask 0.0001) at which they will accumulate shares, ahead of the Pre-Planned Event, so that they can Capitalize on the Price advance, that is driven by Retail Buying enthusiasm, and "Short Covering Squeeze".
You must be Pro-active, and see the direction in advance, rather than be Re-active, and see the direction too late !
