Wrong, Tape does NOT display all BUYS per FINRA.

In fact Tape displays many SELLS that were actually BUYS.

It is an ABSOLUTE FACT THAT 5TH DIGIT TRADING IS HAPPENING WITH HFBG. This is not opinion but fact per FINRA RULE 6434 and actual 5th decimal increment trades executed by many traders.

This Tape only Displays 4th increment trades only therefore ALL BUYS not on tape in fact many BUYS listed as SELLS!as I explained FINRA RULE 6434 in link here, http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=61652292

"FINRA Rule 6434. Minimum Pricing Increment for OTC Equity Securities
(a) No member shall display, rank, or accept a bid or offer, an order, or an indication of interest in any OTC Equity Security priced in an increment smaller than $0.01 if that bid or offer, order or indication of interest is priced equal to or greater than $1.00 per share.
(b) No member shall display, rank, or accept a bid or offer, an order, or an indication of interest in any OTC Equity Security priced in an increment smaller than $0.0001 if that bid or offer, order or indication of interest is priced less than $1.00 per share except, where an order or indication of interest is priced less than $0.0001, a member may rank or accept (but not display) such order or indication of interest in an increment of $0.000001 or greater. "

The tape posted does not Display BUYS between .00011-.00019 in fact it displays them as SELLS because the program only sees to 4th decimal increment. Therefore any BUYS executed from .00011-.00019 are seen and displayed by program as SELLS creating the illusion of a SELLOFF. This is all per FINRA RULE 6434 that permit 5th increment decimal trades through member firms.

Many traders use 5th increment trading very effectively to their advantage. Friday 4/1/11 a group of traders removed bid support all at the same time but HFBG never went to no bid. There was still still bid support and more BUYS than displayed tape lists.

"No matter how many claims that US Foodservice is not a Distributer of Hall of Fame Beverages are made in fact we have a Vendor Number and have been issued a purchase order since as stated in last official Press Release."

Also "2 new products were announced that will be distributed by US Foodservices and others."

"Nothing is going to stop HFBG from distribution."
