There are plenty of assumptions there ken, that invalidate your conclusion.
"When I took economics in high school we were taught that someone buying a half million shares would drive the price up and if someone sold a half million shares the price would drop."
Are there people selling those shares ken? Have they sold millions? Why hasn't the price budged over 7 cents (except for a few thousand) in the past 2 weeks in spite at all the "buying" you seem to see.
My household is very versed in the education world, yet none of us have yet to see a High School "economics" course, discussing how "buying a half million shares" will "drive the price up". Can you point to me anywhere on the internet where you see high school "economics" course materials that discuss this?
Lastly, are there ANY amount of shares, 5, 10, 20 million, of transactions that after which the price still hasn't risen significantly over 7 cents, would invalidate your "economics" course lesson?
In light of the many million shares bought and sold at or under 7 cents already, haven't we already invalidated your "high school economics lesson" since the price has not risen?
