Yes. I noticed the five digit upticks when the price falls which to me indicates what you are saying. Once instituttions invest atleast half or more the amount they are planning to invest into a particular stock it becomes self defeating to try to consistantly bring the price down for a good entry point. Also, they have to consider reporting profits to determine their effectiveness. No one wants to invest with a loser. So at some point in time they want the price to appreciate which is why we are seeing a gradual increase. The shorts are losing at this game. They are running out of ammunition, they are being surrounded, and when courage peaks with news they will be overrun. AJMO.
