This bears some logic, especially together with the point of missing interest in poet. I think it´s a mixture of both. If there are [sharepricemanipulators], they need relatively small orders to nail it down exactly where they want it. So keeping away volatility is quite easy, for what reason ever. One wonders which direction they have to fight more these days - up or down?
And you´re right when saying this can´t last forever. We all are waiting for that day.
