"The fact that it's value is so huge is a guarantee that it is being played."

As usual I like to rephrase other's comments with which I wholly agree but may not be stated exactly as I would like, namely:

The huge value is a Reality, whose significance is more than mere fact.

The fact of it is that in the face of that reality there are often more sellers than buyers. That is illogical.
One has to jump to the assumption that there are still many dumb investors ( not likely ) OR as Sum says the inescapable conclusion has to be that we are being played with.

There are the few that sell in May to buy back in late summer.

But this is going on through out the year in times of long periods of no favourable news and low volumes traded.

So it is a case of averaging down at others expense or plain accumulation at low prices when the attention from disheartened investors is low.

I am with Sum on this conclusion. Ed.
