kezzek: A group of like minded individuals buying shares in small growing companies and holding those shares long term while the company grows and continuing to accumulate as they are able, to me does not seem like manipulation. In fact Warren Buffett has done this for years and still does. To my knowledge there was no single event designed to cause a squeeze and no date was planned. If in fact our markets traded fairly, based on supply and demand, as they are supposed to, there would be no problem at all would there? As demand caused the price to rise some sellers would sell and take appropriate profits. The only time a short squeeze occurs is when a stock for whatever reason has not been trading fairly based on supply and demand. Go CDIV!!!
