OX; Yes S and them became dead stocks, but if you look at some of the nuts you'l see wild swings even on low price stocks, moving the stock price is actually a two fold process and a function of ( share float ) to price. The higher the price the more it can move if the float is the same , I guess it could be said another way. Like if a stock splits we know it wont move as many dollars after the spilt so the lower price takes down the amount of dollar move.. ( all other things even ). How ever if we compare stocks ( AOTE ) then we look at the float to price between the two , the one with the largest float will move less say the price is the same on both, ( AOTE ). so it would be price to market cap on #1 to price to market cap on #2 to create a ratio. Roughly SBC is $45 with 89.6B cap..GT is $41 with only 6.4 cap ( GT all things even can be forced to move by a manipulator) 12 times easier than SBC. The nature of the business is another story I'm just looking at the price / cap mechanics from a manipulators view. Jim
