Hi Roy,
You will read a lot about traders manipulating prices, capping and the like. While I know it does happen a lot I reckon a lot less than you read on forums. Personally I like to look at it simply and like this. The forces being created by both buyers and sellers are equal if the price is not moving. I think in the last few run ups with CUE there were quite a few holders who had run out of patience selling into the new interest in the stock and this is why it took a while to get going price wise. I remember watching the intraday and wondering if the sellers would ever dry up. Then again that might have been another stock lol. I did drugs when I was young :p:eek::D ( depends on which period exactly you are talking about).
Anyone else got any thoughts on this?
