Am I, like, imagining things -- or did TPRO go up 3/32 today on 304 thousand shares of volume?

I'm no stock market analyst, but given the amount of shares existing in the real world, this seems like weirdness. I find it hard to believe that such a large portion of outstanding shares are really changing hands like this. I got an informative email from someone on this board about MM's, and can't help but think that these are not *real* shares being traded.

Forgive my stupidity, but doesn't it seem like these dips of 1/2 that suddenly and mysteriously recover, on higher volume trading than seems appropriate (given that nothing is happening), are suspicious at best? Might people buying weird shorts or borrowing shares or something?

Is there a way to determine what's going on here? Unless people on this board are very non-indicative of the typical TPRO shareholder, or lying through their teeth, no one is really doing much but accumulating what they can on dips. And no one is actually managing to pick up any shares on the lowest lows, in spite of all our neato programs.

Disclosure: I am about to write a novel about some stock market traders, and would love to learn about how days like today really happen.
