Yep. Every stock price is ultimately driven by buys and sells. From Microsoft down to the smallest BB stock. However, in large listed companies, there are too many shares, and the volume is too high, for the price to be driven by 100 share trades, by MMs working in collusion, or by weak hands from a few investors. That is because in such companies it is the large funds and institutions that control most of the shares, and even individual investors tend to follow what these guys do or what their brokers tell them to do. In a BB stock, the MMs have the advantage of being able to move the bid/ask up or down to create the psychology of buying or selling. Anyone who falls into that trap will lose money, for these guys are much more experinece at what they do than the individual investor. So what the small investor needs to do, IMHO, is to have an intellectual reason for being in the stock, and stick to it unless the fundamentals change. In DGIV's case the fundamentals have indeed changed, for the better over the last week. So if the price moves down, it is a no brainer that it is being done through MM covering rather than anything fundamental. In the end, it is not these games that will determine the eventual stock price. It is fundamentals, and real buying and selling.
