Yes, this low share price is definitely not by accident...someone wants their shares cheap and are working the s/p to scare retailers to get them. It's sad really, since the retailers have been holding for a long time, and some of them will never get to see the profits they believed they had coming to them.

As for the investment community participating, we all understand that many, if not all are restricted from buying until the s/p reaches certain thresholds. When those thresholds are met, I believe, they will be lined up for shares, competing with each other to get them.
