I would characterise those posters as poor analysts rather than conspiracy theorists or pessimists.

However, I do think there is probably some weight to the argument that certain institutional holders are consistentely selling off small parcels to encourage bad sentiment towards RED. I also think that those very same holders are the people buying large parcles (which at current volume I would consider to be 1-2 million shares) at artificially low prices (that they themselves created). They are trying to increase percentage ownership while they can, before a re-valuation of RED occurs (leading up/on gold pour) and market interest is boosted.
