and without the 'flippers' we would have no volume. a smart and successful investor maximizes their investment. i would love to have flipped DPDW the past two PPS fluctuations and increased my holdings by an easy 50%-100%. if we all would have done that there would likely be no float left and one could argue that DPDW would be at $1.50 by now.
reality is that neither a tinhat nor ihub has that large of an effect on the PPS. the future shared price will be a consistent upward trend with plenty of minor fluctations that do not matter (unless you choose to 'flip' and take advantage of them).
