Cosmo - if indeed Q is being held back, how does selling to those willing to pay the ask (at a "bargain" price?) do anything for anyone? I have never quite grasped this theory of a stock being "held back" because I don't see how one could benefit (ignoring the question of whether it could be done or not) Would you take a stab at an explanation? Thanks and regards, Jeff Smith
