Don: There is a sort of bottom line in this that partly explains why many see "manipulation" in the price, when it is more a matter of "management ". There is not much new $ chasing stock right now, regardless of value. So larger players and mms , rather than allow a few upside trades to attract more attention from "technical traders" (who do not focus on value), sell a few shares into the sparse demand. Same on the downside. So, price flatlines, with technical guys being out of action waiting/hoping to "catch a wave" that the 'mms' can't stop. But they sell just as quick, so the current situation is less volatile . I am still accumulating, so less volatility is good for me.(Not everyone is served by low volatility)

What is relevant vis a vis the Sinclair stuff is that an increase in overall demand volume alone will drive price from money coming back into the market for juniors, led initially by the financials. I hope that comes before any major NOT news. You will see the price move upward slowly, jabbing downwards, but steadily forcing a higher price level , with NO MAJOR NEWS. The techs will begin to pay a lot more attention to this stock. Bottom line is if you believe that 'Great news lies ahead but not this quarter', expect to see a higher price soon regardless based on higher equity demand flow. My only strategy in this "comeback" market is to own all I can/want/need before the techs re-emerge., and that will be a lot cheaper if it occurs before any major news. News should never be released in an attempt to compensate /placate for weak market conditions
