Perhaps a better explanation. Why not pile on? Drop it more and let it slide a bit. Remember, we can only make money on the difference between what we cause and how far others take it. Then come a full buy back. Again, we make money on the momentum up but only as far as others take it. There is a fair retail lag time when there's little non-manipulation trading going on. We reasoned that we couldn't put a finger on who did that and that there would be diddly for retail momentum up. Therefore, no selling. Too much risk and no reward. Traders would give this reasoning high cred. Longs don't like the notion of it.
