As I mentioned before, it is not an aquirer that is maniupulating the share price, but Pro Traders. They shook the tree, took the stock all the way down to $2.65 (down 59 cents!) through shorting or selling some of their stake, bought a whack load and it closed at $2.88 only down 31 cents! They made a lot of money today, and some poor retail investor is thinking...why did I panic and sell.
