...until shareholders started using the news to bomb the share price for profit.
Um, nope. Insiders dumped hundreds of millions of shares on the company's news. That's a fact. Shareholders started getting out when reality hit them right between the eyes.
Although, it is true that early buyers cashed in on those early pumps. That was smart money trading -- not holding.
And the company wasn't done pumping in December/January/February in order to dump shares.
One look at the April 6th PR -- followed by the PR on April 10th -- and the trading action surrounding those days -- including the dumping of many more millions of shares through April 13th -- well, it's pretty clear what the company was doing.
Don't take my word for it. Look at the chart, the volume, and the SP, from April 6th through April 13th.
