Correction: you assume that the stock is being manipulated. If/When the company submits their application to the EMA and the stock is still languishing, then I might see your viewpoint. Until then, all of these conspiracy theories just seem to be a convenient excuse for management’s poor execution and communication.
As to your other accusation, go back and read Steady’s comment again. I’ve been here for 9 years—sorry if I don’t get excited about 8% upward moves when the stock is down 75% from its high. I’m just keeping it real.
