The only thing I don't like about this manipulation is that it reduces liquidity. ActM is barely even traded anymore because people are afraid of being taken advantage of.
+1 Although i gained a few shares but it i am still not sure about going long.. manipulation just scares new investors and drives them away.. i said this before but apparently that's how the market works..

Why do we need new investors? Neither Ken nor the company itself benefits from the shares being traded post IPO(s) and those who hold shares will reap the benefits of ActM's success (via dividends) whether they bought at the first IPO or any time subsequently. It's not our job to feel sorry for those too skittish to make money.
