Jurgis, LOL. It's not so much what the small investor does who buys some small positions in the microcaps, but if somebody big wants to get out of some of the more thinly traded issues the price can start diving hard and fast on no news. It can be a bit scary. And selling pressure can persist for a long time. (works opposite on the buy side which can be nice too). But even the little guy has to be careful when buying/selling. Even buying or selling a position of say $10-20K might require a limit spread across several days to move in/out without distorting the price too much. I think even the small investor can move the price on these some.
