manipulation Something definitely smelled yesterday. Someone sold 43 August $12.5 calls and the same (or affiliated, my guess) placed a 65K block at the opening to drive the price down. Then "they" bought the 65K (and I assume the calls) back at the lower prices. The day's volume was about 130K above average (NASDAQ double counts), and I don't think that was coincidence. The stock hit a low of 10 3/8 just above a 3K limit order block at 10 7/16, and that was no coincidence either. This stinks to high heaven. May I ask when did you first notice the sale of the calls, and your affiliation?
