The NASDAQ was up but the TSE saw lots of selling. That was probably a factor but maybe there is some intentional selling by brokerage firms to set themselves up for some big profits.

When SW released news about going on the NASDAQ they also announced they would do a PP.
"The wireless technology firm plans to offer up to 2.25 million shares in the United States by the end of March"
The brokerage firm will try to get the lowest price on the PP as possible to maximize profits of course. But as I understand that there are exchange rules that when the deal is announced or placed the share price has to be within 20% of the current share price. If the deal is getting close to being finalized maybe the brokers are depressing the price in an attempt to get in around $150 or lower.

Just some thoughts what is your take.

PS-Could just be profit taking, I mean 60K shares trade and the thing goes up or down $30. They have got to get some more liquidity in this thing.
