"why do THEY continue to sell ?" is the wrong question..... National Bank is not buying and selling... its their clients who are and National can't twist their arms and say"don't sell or you're dead meat" ... I am amazed that people continually think its the "institution" buying and selling..... I am not saying banks don't have trading desks , I am saying they don't have control over every trade..... when you want to buy or sell something does your broker try to change your mind every time ??? OK , I admit I had one like that ... that is why I fired him and use an online broker now..... National probably had a few people jump in looking for the $5 price to be hit fast and now need money.... pretty normal....
