I understand your frustration. There is little doubt people are profiting from manipulating this and many other TSX stocks. Again, I would stress the long term. The vast majority of us are long term holders who have accumulated Probe shares over the last few years with hopes of a nice payday when the company is bought out by a large producer. A 10 cent drop this morning just makes it less expensive to add to your holdings. If you believe in the long term and plan to accumulate when you have cash available why not pay a little less, I find it highly unlikely Probe will be bought out in the next six months. If it does happen we all make a little less than we hoped. My best guess is no sooner than late 2014 and I would be dissapointed if it were for less than $3.50 a share with an upside over $5. I can wait twelve months for another double on a decent position.

Happy Holidays!
