Turr, most of us are hanging on to every share. But there are those who will sell a few. And that's what's been setting the price the last few weeks.  

I don't see any manipulation, and part of the reason I don't, is because you could decrease the price by selling a few shares, true, but you're not going to be able to load up at the lower price for the reasons you state. 

I will tell you if the price jumped up near $5, I'd sell covered calls. The market in our options is so dead now though, it's tough to make a move.
