".. there is obviously manipulation going on here,.."

I am not sure that manipulation is going on. What I see is that the insiders are holding their ground, and so are few of the institutional players that we may have and the retail longs (even though we are a bit testy these days). The left over are the retail traders and want to-be-longs who are confused and can't make up their minds about the direction of the SP. The relatively complex back in agreement between CUU and TECK makes understanding of this stock a challenge even for the astute investors, so imagine how the less knowledgably folks like myself must feel. The next few weeks should be interesting. It seems to me that Greek tragedy has now played out to a large extend, and the attention is starting to move back to China, if the stories in the main media can still be trusted
