A great pump Sag4tag, by any chance are you an Agoracom employee? Just joking with my sick ( sarcastic) sense of humour:

<Hmmm I guess Noront will no longer be bearing the burden of development all on their own. Hey did anybody give us back this value in our share price, "not".>

However not only did we not get our value but we are being punished for adding value.

I see it as manipulation in the Nth because anyone with half a brain would see the difference, value, and invest accordingly.
Probably because Noront is seen as the best of the best that it deserves special treatment for it's stubborn holders to be persuaded to part with their hold. Need I say some are being stead fast and fewer are taking advantage of the opportunity. This makes it very difficult for the manipulators and therefore they have to continue. If it was easy they would have finished already.

Nothing else makes sense to me. I have seen similar on other stocks that I held.
