I've noticed manipulation in this one for several weeks now. I'm wondering if someone wants to keep this down until we get on NASDAQ. If it runs too high we may get a selloff. I think they want to show a steadily rising chart & not a huge spike which may scare investors off if they feel it's too late. My opinion anyway

Sigh. I believe that is called "painting the tape" or something like that. Very difficult to tell what is going on. With a thinly traded stock sudden swings are common and NASDAQ did blip around a bit near the end pulling techs that are not even traded on that board around as well. See quote.yahoo.com^IXIC&d=1d. It is something to keep an eye on though. I doubt the large upward swings are caused by someone playing games though. Otherwise profit takers would even things out the next morning. Bill
