lugan.....good recap. I think part of the long camp that accumulates for long term holding purposes is also taking advantage of these swings and trading patterns. Looking at it all advantagiuosly. Wanting to get more shares and make some dough. We all see the power and benefit of a tightly held float. It is only when folks abandon that position that it even opens up the avenue for the swings benefiting the traders and shorts. So maybe if folks can just hold then the rise up to double digits becomes a self fulfilling prophesy and it happens at a much faster pace (assuming that all the pieces come together and the company performs to justify the current and future value).
I would add index funds to your list. Index funds are different than your C) Long term public funds accumulating shares.
I've noticed a lot of sudden share price movement in the same direction as broad market swings recently and that did not take place as much in past years. I think a lot of that movement is a result of index fund ownership and possibly some small cap ETF ownership. Although I don't know if WAVX is in any ETF's but it seems reasonable that it could be.
