Exactly, Spartan.

I wish I could point to an example where this sort of thing has happened before, but ultimately ended well. I know there are some good examples, I just can't think of any off the top of my head.

If anyone can point out some good ones, please do. It might help some of those in panic mode.

2) MM manipulation (they're having a real BBQ right now, and we're the ones being roasted)

Yep, Us and most of the small cap market, excluding the pinks.

Your 3 points are right on target.

spartan, i tend to agree with your analysis. no matter how much we want logic to prevail in the market it's impossible to keep some shareholders from selling low. in fact, the lower the price goes, the more retailers will convince themselves it's time to take the hit, and they'll be out. many will never return and their places will be filled by new money that has no bad experience with the price action.

meanwhile, in the short term, deeper pockets with time on their side and plenty of capital will probably continue to squeeze the life out of the stock and bring us to our knees. as long as we let them do it why should they stop? when the PRs continue to show solid growth, and the intrinsic value of the shares increases, and yet the market value declines, that's a buying opp, and they realize it. torturing us with the illogic of increasing fundamentals and a falling pps is a powerful weapon. it strikes fear in the hearts of the most stoic, disciplined investors.

all the big money has to do now is be one second more patient than the most miserable retail shareholder and they win all the marbles. we can banter back and forth all day long about where the bottom is, but if you think this stock isn't going to bounce quickly once they all have their positions built, think again. it's a dog-eat-dog world, and this is simply how the rich get richer imo.

"Ex-directors of mediquip, etc. selling their shares by the millions because they don't give a shit about the company and just want their money ASAP"

how much shares Ex-directors originally have got?
