More manipulation going on today. Large block sells which make little sense but keep the stock price around 34-35. Common sense says this is a strong buy here but traders are staying out due to frozen price. Every day makes this a better play. The coil gets ever-tighter. How I would love to be in the conference rooms of the underwriters now to hear what they're really up to. Someone is refusing to let this baby run away from them. Keeps traders nervous and buying volume low. Recent Wall Street story about fool-proof way to play backdoor IPO's must have triggered this manipulative action. They don't want traders to make money, they want to keep it to themselves. But sooner or later they'll have to let go or they too lose. Hang in there, people. Don't miss the party when it finally begins.
