so why will it ever stop ? Hopefully Thursday new rule in effect helps. Most stocks I own on otc/bb have been going down a lot over that timeframe you mention. Is there a reason that it will stop, or can "they" do it for as long as "they" want. ? I guess when demand outnumbers supply, things will change ... sounds like that will be very soon. Just wondering if whatever has been happening, if anything ( shorting, manipulation, etc ...) will prevent future share price increases with strong news
