i agree. the initial movement upward is inexplicable. I think it was mid-December? However, if you look at the chart, you see a smaller pop back in August. If the upward swing that began in December was manufactured, the August pop-up could have been a little test run. I think it got manipulated up, then the pumping came hard to try to maintain that level. Perhaps they hoped JB could get it going quickly and deliver, thereby maintaining the high stock price.
but there is no direct evidence. it is one of the strangest things i have evver seen. But if the stock was being maniputlated, how would you know? There mught be some large block trades as it was going up... between accounts owned by the same guy... or between a couple of guys working together?
