was meaning that without a deal, sellers will appear, hence sending the price down.
may then see a virtuos downward spiral, as recent buyers lock in profits as bridggar has done, while others may sell at stop loss.
I find it laughable that posters here reckon the Market Makers *know* when a deal is going to be done....
at the end of the day, this is a thinly traded, illiquid stock, and the only thing that can currently move the price, ceteris paribus, are buys and sells IMO.
