I've been in and out of this one for quite a few years and have made any where from 100 to 200% profit and the most I have ever had in shares were 5 million...right now I only have a million and my break even price would be .0003...it's only $300.00...normally they have had news about their indevors and there would be some large volume for a day or so but it's been pretty dead and much of that can be blaimed on the economy as well for the state of this stock...the spin off share of HBRM may compinsate for nothing happening here...we'll see.
that's what I figure...this is where I got this...

looks like the manipulation has stopped because they have achieved what they have wanted and maybe we might see a move up so the manipulators can make a profit...the secret in almost all stocks that are manipulated is to get out on the up movement before the next round of manipulation takes place and stay within their up and down framework so you too can make some money.
there is no shortage of posters flashing the same company ads...this stock sure looks like it is well controlled price wise...I see this way too much in many stocks...I don't get that warm fuzzy feeling.
moving up again and volume as well

these 5000 people I'm sure are trying to scare people into selling...they could be a couple of people who have gotten together to play their game...I don't know what the rules are in this exchange, but in some exchanges there are floor crossings which will happen at the end of the day after the market closes and many times they are very large volumes and the price has to be agreed on before the close and many times it is a lower price and it doesn't affect the over all share price..so I can't believe these trades are a way around trading rules but to drive the price down...I may be wrong but the 5000 trades sure look suspicious.
it will be nice to see this stop..the people doing this must know this stock will be going up much higher in the future...

does anyone have the ability to see who is making the 5000 share trades...it's a good and cheap way to keep the share price down..let's face it, all stocks are manipulated at one time or another...it's been that way more so over the last few years and it looks like the only way to make money is to follow the manipulators trends and sell and buy on the ups and downs they cause.
here are some..game playing..

has anyone thought of a buy out...if all or some of the products turn out to be an excellent product and a large company with a large existing network, than this company could look like a good buy out while it is only trading for a few cents...even a sniff of a buy out coming could drive the stock up considerably.
you're right about that...at least they aren't getting the "slap chop" guy that does the chop ad and use the "you'll like my nuts" line...LMAO
since following this stock, most of the time buying starts around noon [I'm in the eastern zone - Ontario, Canada]...because of places like California or British Columbia being behind 3 hours it will make some difference on when the volume takes place..yesterday in the first 5 minutes over 1 million traded which we all knew trading would start at the bell..other stocks I have don't start trading in large volume till noon so that gives me an advantage over those that are 3 hours behind when early good news comes out so I can pick up cheaper shares before the rush starts...another thing I've noticed is that the "sell on news" thing is being used more on stocks and I suspect things like the economy and world news is the cause of this more so then the theory..the markets are really hard to read right now..we'll see this stock up and down for a while until they bring out some real good sales figures or large deals with store chains etc.
we should now see more volume because of the time zones accross the country.
by the asks and bids I'm talking about the volume etc...on some on line brokers you may have access to these figures.
has anyone access to the asks and bids for to day yet???
if this stock is getting lots of attention there is a good chance it could double or triple on the first and then you will see lots of selling as well and unless something bad happens it will do this for who knows how long...when the bashers show up you know there are many who want the stock from the weak hands...I play a lot of Canadian mining stocks and on many of them especially on the venture exchange, that is the way they go...I have been in and out of them many times because of the up and downs and they don't level out until they become producing mines..I'm sure you all have seen some of them go from around 10 cents to over a buck in a day or two and if they go too high too fast the exchanges may call a halt to investigate that everything is on the up and up..this is one of those stocks were I get a good gut feeling...good luck to us all.
Friday was a good strategy to release the news with Monday being the holiday it will add to the fever to buy on Tuesday...in one of our newspapers up here in Canada, last week reported that soon seniors will out number children and the seniors all want to live longer and healthier and have lots of sex..LMAO...so HBRM can help them. :>))))
In an earlier post of mine, I posted that I feel into this stock from a spin off type of deal from ECGAE [up to this week it was ECGA]...I then bought more shares and had no idea if it would go any where..so it looks like this "Rip Van Winkle stock" has a waken and a waken new investors...good luck to all...
this stock is showing great strength considering what is going on in the world's markets mainly because of Greece and the rest of the near broke countries over there...all the stocks I follow are up one minute and down the next and the weak hands are running for the hills...this stock has very few if no weak hands and maybe because it doesn't have a large following is good and when the company releases news I hope the markets are back to some sort of normalization...it might be a good move on their part to hold off on news for a bit till things calm down.
thanks for that...
I presume this investorshub is on the spot when things like news and especially the fillings..I'm new here and I have been checking this site below every day for some time now..not being in the US markets much I believe this site below is the one to watch...thanks for any info..
http://www.otcmarkets.com/pink/otcguide/categories.jsp
with almost the whole of the markets around the world being very cautious because of Greece etc. a stock like this could do better then most if they come out with some very good news...the stock will then need some exposure...with a manufacturing stock of a product that can be used by almost everyone and is affordable, it could be looked at as a much better investment then stocks like minerals that are still in the ground and need big bucks to get them to their final stage...it's a tough call because of the world problems right now even with countries that have a strong financial economy.
I'm in the same boat and have been in and out of ECGA over the last few years and also bought more HBRM when it was below 1 cent...I joined this board yesterday and you'll see a couple of my posts there...ECGA is about do for some news or fillings soon as well as HBRM.
