Basically this. The shareprice can be manipulated (both up and down, yes) with less than 500k shares, which equates to around $40,000 at the moment.
There are numerous people that could do this easily, myself included. Hell, there's only been a whopping 4 trading days this year where the total daily volume is more than what I own. This is why getting caught up in weekly price swings is pointless at this time.
"WOOOWWW the share price went from .09 to .07 omggg the sky is falling" "WOWWW the price went from .07 to .09 buybuybuy"
See how stupid that is?
