< If you take a look at the drop over the past few days, it has been on low volume. > I agree that the drop was engineered by the brokers in order to shake out the weak hands and collect some cheap shares for favoured clients. I have had this experience with thinly traded Canadian shares that are about to take off. A broker convinced me to put in a "stop loss" on a stock I owned trading at over $5 at $4.20 "to protect myself against a drop". Guess what? The next day the price dropped suddenly to $4.20 - all my shares were sold at the low of the day - and then it recovered just as suddenly to $5.50 just a few minutes later. It went on to trade at over $10 in a week or so.

Needless to say I do not trust any broker who suggests a "stop loss" on a rising stock. It's just putting the temptation before them to rob you of your profit.
