The average retail investor really doesn't possess the awareness or the knowledge of understanding all that goes on behind the curtain that could manipulate a company's stock price. And they think about buying stock as maybe conversations around the water cooler or hype that is going on in the marketplace around one particular company. And people are flooding in to buy stock.
