Some good posts out there. Not to beat a dead horse but to say there is no manipulation in stock trading is blatantly false. It happens all the time both to increase and decrease the share price. Obviously I cannot say if or how much it has happened to ARU. As we have seen in the news hundreds of times in past several years numerous individuals have been caught in stock manipulation scams and imo probably far less than 1% ever get caught. Most are probably of the minor variety but happen on a daily basis. This is not a business that necessarily hires those with high moral fibre and integrity. As for the average retail investor, they wouldn't have the knowledge, the time or the portfolio size to make much of a difference. I believe it was Fearless who posted an excellent post last year on the numerous ways the big boys can attempt to manipulate stock price. Again I'm not saying it does or doesn't happen here.

Another point, where are all these insider trading comments coming from by a couple of individuals. It may or may not be happening on any given day by any company out there. There is nothing that has happened yesterday that would or wouldn't suggest this.

On a positive note ARU held up very nicely this week given that the brutal week for gold. This is an excellent sign. I think we will all be rewarded richly in the coming weeks ahead. There are just so many positives here. The only potential negative is the political situation which seems to be working itself out. Has anyone noticed that since the negotiations have started with ARU that there has been nothing on the WF tax issue and no skewed articles about ARU? This is no coincidence.

This is a terrific BB....keep the comments coming.
