This may be true, but I still don't believe that Jitney is the root of all evil in this case, nor do I really believe that there is some great conspiracy by institutions, the BOD or some mysterious major in place to keep our SP down.

There hasn't been a lot of press coming from Noront since Nemis departed, and traders (whether they are days or short term) have been able to buy and sell on the movement. Jitney charges $5.99 a trade, so even low volume penny trades are profitable if you do enough of them.
