I have followed @minnowhelper for no other reason than to assist this noob in tracking and understanding the processes involved.

There appears to be a large undercurrent of SP trading and manipulation that I am not yet quite sure benefits whom the most. While not unethical in its practice, I remain skeptical of its effectiveness for the end user compared to the investor. However, I've only been here a week, or so. More time is needed for me to gain understanding...
