There is plenty of room for multiple scenarios regarding possible market manipulation of LAC, however the fact remains:  concrete milestones haven't been recently achieved or, if achieved, haven't been publicized yet.   

The "Big Lesson" to me from this recent huge increase in share price of LAC followed by a precipitous down fall of share price and accompanied by unprecidented daily volumes is:  Look how amenable the share price of LAC has been to rumor, innuendo and boiler room style hype!!!!

If the share price will do this to nothing more than thin air and empty speculation, just imagine for one moment what will happen to the LAC share price when LAC crosses the milestone marks for major achievements.  We all know that those milestones are not that far in the distance.  It is almost like some child in the car on a long automobile trip constantly yelling:  "Are we there yet?"

The reality is that we really are almost "there".. even though that unruly and undisciplined child has been yelling in our ears "Daddy, are we there yet!" for the last 2,800 miles and we only have 100 miles or so left to reach our destination.  "Are we there yet???" is still be bleated by the unvarnished purveyors of "Hype", all the while we actually are fast approaching our destination.  JMO   Okiedo
