Marc, thanks for your reply. I am certainly familiar with these swings.
I have averaged down before on this stock and my average cost is 15 1/2.
I am planning on adding more on further weakness or maybe selling
naked puts.

My point was simply that this is a deliberate attack on the stock by a
small number of traders. Total volume for the last three days has only
been about 1 million, which really means only 0.5 million shares changing
hands. And this assumes no multiple trades. This is less than 5% of
the total float. Yet they've managed to chop the market cap by 25%. As
perverse as it sounds, it's quite an impressive feat. And they're not done
yet. The way it's going, we might see 12 by Friday.

I guess I'm just not yet familiar enough with this type of manipulation to
be unimpressed (and obviously annoyed) by it. But I will try to gain some
advantage from it, if I am smart enough to know when.
