"And regarding the share trade in KNB, has there really been much of manipulating down the price lately?"
Multiple times in the past couple of weeks! We would be at .90 or better and with ten minutes to go we'd lose 10%!!! On JP's concluding segment in Crime of the Century, he mentions manipulating prices when someone putting in an offer much lower than sp but pulls offer off when there is a buyer. I had that happen withe KNB not long ago. SP was at .85 and there was an offer at .79! I bid and then the offer was gone.
I'm not saying these examples are a result of Naked shorts but they at least seem to me very suspicious - especially the 10% drops at the end of the day.
Note to "Hola": In genereal, Naked shorts are counterfeit shares that are used for shorting - produced by Canadian Funds that a Junior does it's financing through. It then allows hedge funds to use these shares to manipulate the junior.
