Bears out my suspicions

I'd always figured that the senders of the "pump & dump" scams were already positioned to profit from any miniscule bump in the share price or increase in volume of sales and that everyone else was pretty much guaranteed to lose.

Kudos to Joshua for doing that research! Fascinating study!
