Weird Theoretical Question for Davis, Shero, Terry, et al...

Whenever I see a stock sit still like we did today, a strange thought enters my mind. It's purely hypothetical (I suppose), but I am curious what you may think of the possibility…

What if a “battle” arose against 2 deep pocket, hard-headed Big Shots. Mr. “S” is bound & determined to NOT let the stock rise above 1.00, and Mr. “L” gets vibes of what “S” is up to and becomes equally bound & determined to see that the stock DOES NOT DROP below 1.00.

So these two place their GTC Limit Orders as follows:

“S” places order to SELL 5,000,000 Shares at a limit of 1.03

“L” places order to BUY 5,000,000 Shares at a limit of .97

This scenario intrigues me. What would happen that day?

My guess is Very LOW Volume, with the price hovering very close to 1.00 all day, but I want to know what you folks think. Is this truly a “hypothetical” situation only, or could something like this ever happen (TCLN or otherwise)?
