Fear, doubt and uncertainty are rampant in this market.

Why assume market manipulation? Is there someone on the grassy knoll out there?

If I really thought this stock was being manipulated (and I'm not naive, I know it happens), I'd be gone...

Of course, if you have some actual evidence, that's another matter...

lafont, I gave you the only evidence that anyone has. Do you see other stocks down 20% during the day on no news? Yes, there's fear and irrationality -- but the extent of this security's fall (on no news that we know of) with the inordinate amount of 2.50 July puts seems to be more than just a bit coincidental.

If there is bad news coming, it's not manipulation; it's sheer breaking of the law on insider trading (which happens all the time with impunity). Makes no difference. It is what it is.
