It's happened to me over the years. I agree, manipulation. I'm still trying to figure out how to deal with it. I don't know how much you bought but it seems they are bringing it down on skimpy volume. My bet is they want to keep the price low for some reason. Maybe to soak up more shares before the price climbs another step up? If they don't want to go short they have to have the shares to sell to the buyers. What ever it is, you own more. And I hope that you make a fantastic profit!
