For those of you scratching your heads on why SAVA is down when the news is so awesome. OK, so you have heard it over and over by many on this board - "Market Manipulation". But is this real? Are longs just in this perpetual rut of always blaming the short sellers? Is there something else going on that we maybe just aren't seeing? I have asked these questions. It is perplexing to me how SAVA could drop on such amazing news. Sure, I know market manipulation exists, but is it really that pervasive and powerful? I have done a fair amount of research into this and can honestly say "Yes, market manipulation, short attacks are real and very very powerful and pervasive". You can do your own due diligence on this with some simple internet searches, but here is a quick summary of some sites I have found. I am not a paid Yahoo finance subscriber, so won't post links as they won't get posted. But here are some sites you can search for yourselves that are good reads on this topic. First, check out "Short and Distort" on Investopedia. Remi made mention on this type of attack in one of his audio responses to the CP. It is illegal by the way, but still real, and still very much practiced. Second, "How the Big Players Manipulate the Stock Market" on Seeking Alpha. You might need a paid subscription to access this, but good read on short attack on Herbalife, that is eerily similar to SAVA. Third, "10 signs your stock is being manipulated" on Griproom. This is definitely an excellent read and very easy to see how many of the points relate directly to what SAVA has been experiencing. I will leave you with a quote from number 10 on that list. "You’re not the only one invested in this stock. Hundreds or thousands of other people just like you have done research on this company. They invested for similar reasons that you did. They see the growth potential, or they recognize how undervalued it is.

But the stock keeps dropping. You can’t figure it out, and neither can they.

If none of your fellow bullish investors can figure out a plausible reason for the stock to keep dropping day after day…then it’s probably being manipulated.

Listen to what others are saying. If they’re presenting a coherent argument for the stock’s decline, backed up by data and a reasonable thesis, that’s different.

But if your fellow investors are as bewildered as you are by the stock’s movement, then your stock is probably being manipulated by Wall Street parasites." To me it is totally obvious that SAVA is under complete manipulation and it is illegal. What can the average Joe do about it? Probably not much, other than educate themselves and not be duped by the manipulators. If you believe in SAVA and the overall data just seems so convincing, then hold on, don't cave. Unfortunately, you may have to hold for a fairly long time, as the old adage of "Price them out or wear them out" is so true. I believe the market manipulators are trying really hard on both of these, and the "wear them out" may take some time. Their goal is discouragement, doubt, despair. But SAVA long term is a true winner and very likely on the edge of revolution. Go SAVA!$Cassava Sciences Inc(SAVA)$
