I suspect most of the flipping going on is folks trying to up their sharecount without shelling out more green. Nothing wrong with that in my book (I did do it once myself, and could have done it several times had I been able to watch all day).
If someone flipped, took their profits and left...well thats their business and no doubt they will be looking back wishing they'd stayed in. Have to admit I did that with GSAT and EEE earlier this year for profit several times on each and check in them a few months later to see they each came up multibaggers. Of course, you could throw a dart at any NYSE or NASDAQ stock back in March and hit a multibagger...who knew?
My point is this....stop worrying about "flippers"...when IOVE is ready to run on the merits, flippers aren't going to stop it.
People need to worry about their own accounts, and quit bashing other folks for their trading style. We're all here to make money...and if you're in love with the company so much that you never take your profits, thats your problem not mine. Im here to make money, not get married.
