This isn't true for every stock. How come ANY.V wasn't exposed to these games on their run over the last 6-8 months? They climbed from 0.50ish to about the $8 mark without any major corrections. They experienced a steady sustained climb for 8 months with some consolidation on the way. They also went from 50 cents to $3 in less than a month (so not gradual at all). Everyone always talks about how a stock will have a drastic correction if it goes up to fast. Not always the case and not always necessary as the technical guys will make you believe.
