so what you are saying is they will "manipulate" the price higher as you accuse "they" are doing now, although i don't buy the manipulation theory, that could be a double edged sword your playing with here, what If the true purpose was to bring down the share price to a level they are comfortable with and are slowly getting there. Why would It be possible only to bring it back up for the buyout? I believe many things have gone wrong here and as the metal prices improve and our future work expands our sp will improve, not all are these so called Teck or MM players you focus on are the cause of our current SP.
