40300 shares were traded on that blip.

As I have stated in the past I dot not and will not buy shares in any company that I deemed, have a suspect financial history.

40000 shares is a drop in a bucket compared to 1995900 shares traded on Jan 24th 2013 at 655 per share.

And the trading session was flat as far as price per share on that day.

People who are the financial professionals should look at the large trade on that day and see which hedge fund made the trade.

As far as GW and the way they do business? This is not the first time that they have done this and it won't be the last.

There are smart and easy ways for corporations to work with the cottage industry and make a profit. The problem is that the mindset of today's society is short term profits/gratification and "screw the future" mentality.

Listen to the first couple of minutes of the BoW Weekend show : http://www.beastsofwar.com/the-weekender/weekender-entitled-space-marine/

A lot of shares have been sold yesterday and the price offered was low because people did not want strongly to buy.

However, without knowing the normal volume of trading (number of shares sold per day) we cannot tell if it is merely a blip -- Kirby selling enough for his summer holiday -- or a general bailout of investors.

I sold about half my holdings in GW yesterday; dumped it in a nice little bio-tech stock and ended the day up a fair amount.

Smart. Very smart in investing in the biotech industry. I'm dabbling in the health care stocks myself (as well as other kinds of stock). Not too much though as my specialty is in real estate.

I invest small amounts into companies just because I can (A) Go to a casino and gamble my "play money" away or (B) I can invest in the stock market, which to me is a form of legalized gambling. . Keeps my mind in shape so to speak.

Back on topic. Every corporation has a right to defend their IP's and trademarks. But there is a line between defending and out right aggression.
GW has a tendency to cross that line a lot.
