I have strong suspicions that this is happening. It is uncanny how many excellent stocks which have large retail investor following gets beaten down for absolutely no reason. I have experienced this quite often and intend to change my broker to a more established house. Retail investors have a tendency (yours truly included) to buy value stocks on margin assuming that the stock price will not go down any further and it is exactly this tendency that is exploited. There is a tendency to make a comparison between a high flyer (like EXTR) and MRVC and an assumption that since EXTR is moving higher MRVC should do likewise and people buy MRVC instead of EXTR and the reverse of what is expected actually happens. I can give several examples of this. Although I used to believe that the market was in general above board I have slowly come to the conclusion that the markets are manipulated and in many instances the management of companies are involved too. Eventually stocks such as MRVC do very well and anyone with patience is likely to do very well in long term, however in the short term anything can and will happen. anicca
