solidgold, in trying to answer those questions...
I've been wrong enough in the market so please understand that I am not an expert and I am only a shareholder in NSAV or any of these stocks just like you. So my thoughts shared are only my opinions and not the gospel.
I don't think that there is any kind of illegal trading going on such as shorting, naked shorting, etc. I think that the price of NSAV has dropped and has been beaten down simply because of "Supply and Demand" principles from investors simply selling because of not having patience to wait for things to materialize or for other reasons that we will likely never know about as those reasons are personal to each investor.
I think when NSAV releases the proper substance, most, if not all of those investors will be back. The ball is in the company's court to do this on their timelines and not ours.
