Samurai....concise and well said...however, I have noticed for years now that 100 share trade going on all day long whenever the price seems to get an upward boost... this (algorithm)?.. seems to knock it down..I see it now trading with coop, as before with Wmih...I also had difficulty understanding the need for the nickel uptick rule that was placed on a dollar stock...my understanding then was not to let the stock get a head of steam before KKR got their preferred share conversion...It just seems that someone does not want this stock to get a head of steam going....on that premise, I can only conclude, this stock has something somebody wants to have for themselves and no one else...lets face it, the stock market went from 6000 in 2008 to 27000 a few months ago...MM were selling every asset from bitcoin to cybercoins, and MJ stocks went through the roof with no earnings, prohibited from borrowing money, etc. and the MM sold them to the public and made huge profits...they could have sold Wmih shares in a heartbeat had analysts made a buy recommendation, yet no press for 10 years...I could go on and on, but, to my estimation, demoralization is the key here... they just want us to walk away and sell our holdings back to them.. whomever "them " are...Just my take on the subject...
