No MM manipulation? Answer one question.
Can MM's trade for their own accounts?
“MM Manipulation” is the most prevalent excuse for non-performing stinking pinkies on the OTC.
As you say, there is no basis in reality for said excuse.
TSOI is not immune.
Wish List.
MM;s are in control and will do whatever they want regardless
Yep. Defining, predicting, forecasting the "want" is key and (maybe?) impossible or at least difficult for retail investors. MM's can't be tossing go-to numbers up in the air. They must have a formula, algo or witch's brew, probably based on time&sales, volume, consultations (illegal?) with other MM's, dilution, more.
We're working with the basics and investor sentiment. Gotta be more.
Transfer Agent does the share structure updates on the OTC Markets website, not the company.
And if a transfer agent participates in the OTC Markets Transfer Agent Verified Shares Program then the transfer agent is required to update the share structure on the OTC Markets website for ALL of their clients (dead or active).
That means that a share structure update should never be used as proof that a dead/abandoned company is active.
Participating transfer agents would be required to update the share structure information for their clients monthly, but would be able to provide share structure updates as often as once a day. The only exception would be if a client instructs the transfer agent not to update the share structure. If that happens then it’s a pretty big red flag that the stock is trying to hide dilution.
All clients whose share structures are updated through the program are given a “Verified” logo.
https://otcmarketresearch.com/the-truth-about-share-structure-updates-on-the-otc-markets-website/
So the question is whether or not the TA is gagged and whether or not the TA is "Verified."
CEO & co. would be crazy NOT to pay themselves first because they know what's coming. Best, oldest financial advice around. Stash it in the cache. A float of 517,466,393 isn't crazy. We'll move.

Hmmm, wonder if Guy Miller, Citadel Securities LLC, has been posting on this board. Joking; he's got better things to do, but ... hmmm.
Each of Citadel Securities LLC, CALC IV LP and Citadel Securities GP LLC may be deemed to beneficially own 29,174 shares of common stock.
This Schedule 13G is being jointly filed by Citadel Securities LLC (“Citadel Securities”), CALC IV LP (“CALC4”), Citadel Securities GP LLC (“CSGP”) and Mr. Kenneth Griffin (collectively with Citadel Securities, CALC4 and CSGP, the “Reporting Persons”) with respect to shares of common stock of the above-named issuer owned by Citadel Securities.
And now a hmmm question: Can a market maker that owns a company's stock short that stock? That is, borrow shares from its own holdings and replace them seconds, days or months later?
Q1 earnings 2020 on or before Friday, June 29, 2020. I would expect the 29th according to posters' conversations with John.

How Brokers Can Avoid a Market-Maker's Tricks
Speaking of computers and algo's, important not to push the wrong button.
It took 17 years of dedicated work to build Knight Capital Group (among other things, a huge market maker) into one of the leading trading houses on Wall Street. And it all nearly ended in less than one hour.
Software glitch sent Knight on a buying spree, snapping up 150 different stocks at a total cost of around $7 billion, all in the first hour of trading.
Acquired by a rival, Getco LLC.
Applause for breaking the rules.
Good discussion today per valuation, MM's, more.
TLSS potential? This sez a lot. Buy. Hold. NASDAQ.
I think there could be a chance for TLSS to get over a $DOLLAR or even higher. With the new managements track record and getting $3 mill covid bonus I think I am going to brake all my 5 rules and hold.New management takes a couple months to get thing changed to their ways. By September if TLSS isn't up over $0.75 and stays under $0.20 it will never go any where.
How do ya know those shares weren't issued? SS hasn't budged. For all we know, one or more of the lenders got itchy fingers and violated an agreement because the kids needed braces.
Most important thing is that Mercadante and Cerny foresaw that and built-in an "anti-dilution protection feature", reserving 193M shares for said impatient fingers.
CEO and treasurer are treating this thing like a NASDAQ issue every step of the way, crossing every T&I to a degree that's almost unheard of on the OTCBB.
TLSS lonnnng.

June 1, 2020 | MGN Logistics, Inc. Announces stock purchases in Transportation and Logistics Systems, Inc
MGN Logistics, Inc, a leading provider of IT solutions for the freight management and transportation industry, announced it was acquiring shares of Transportation and Logistics Systems, Inc., in the open market.
"I see huge potential in our two companies joining forces. MGN is well known for our transportation technology and TLSS for expanding its relationship with Amazon," stated Matthew Telesca, CEO of MGN Logistics. "While discussions are in the very early stages, as John begins ramping up to make multiple acquisitions, it only makes sense to have a logistics technology partner to assist them in utilizing one Transportation Management System or TMS. Additionally, since MGN has grown revenue through numerous acquisitions, we are intimately familiar with the intricacies of integrating multiple operating systems into one. I'm very excited to see John execute his plan and I hope we can add value."

Why Amazon's E-Commerce Sales Are About to Surge Even Higher
In Amazon's first quarter, its online store sales -- the global e-commerce business -- grew net sales by 24% year over year. That was a sharp acceleration from last year's 15% growth rate.
It's a reasonable conclusion that Amazon's online store sales growth should accelerate to well beyond 40% and possibly much higher in short order. There's certainly precedent for this as so much more of consumer spending shifts online. For example, on Wayfair's (NYSE:W) first-quarter conference call, it said its second-quarter to-date sales growth has been about 90%. And on Etsy's (NASDAQ:ETSY) first-quarter call, it said it was seeing over 100% year-over-year growth in gross merchandise volume, the total value of products ordered on its platform.

Drumroll. Q1 earnings 2020 expected end of June according to Company. SEC's 45-day grace period (pandemic response) applies, I believe, to Q's as well as annual reports. GLTA
Always wanted 1.5M of something, especially at 1. Understand the frustration but at least the CEO communicates, has a strategy and hopefully follows through with a viable share structure and realistic, ambitious Asian companies. Patience. Cya (probably much) later.
So many browsers, so little time. Way back when, I suggested that iHub should create its own browser. No idea why, probably totally unnecessary, but maybe a dedicated browser could be faster, possibly taming all the streaming doodads (advertising, etc.) and adding functionality. I'm sure Paulie could have fun with that one.
Anyway, Pale Moon is a new fave. Thanks.
Quite a menagerie you've got there; respect for the experimentation. Adding Pale Moon to the craziness; fast, customizable. Thanks.
After jumping down a few rabbit holes, finally found a browser for those of us who stubbornly cling to Windows XP as a back-up desk/laptop solution (167 million via StatCounter to 254 million using Net Applications, 2015 numbers}.
As mentioned, latest version of Firefox works, but it's slooooow on iHump (more later).
Anyway, if you're using WinXP, you may want to try Comodo IceDragon 40.1.1.18, but not newer versions: filehorse com. Based on Firefox, but slimmer, faster.
Good advice from a reviewer: First thing you have to do is block automatic updates .... Tools/Options/Advanced/Update/Never check for updates. If you don't block it, the program will download the latest version of the browser, which is not compatible with Windows XP, and it will crash.
Ad Blocker Ultimate further speeds up the party.
Good advice from Meat: "I don't care either way about 3rd party cookies. You do need to keep cookies from advfn.com and investorshub.advfn.com. Keep them until they expire rather than clearing them when you shut down Firefox."
If there are any other browser ideas, pls yell.

Ok, so Cloudflare is concerned with security and doesn't mind shutting the door on certain users, including institutions that haven't upgraded their systems. No workaround, right? Hmmm, so why does Firefox work when presumably it MUST use RC4?
Grumpy protocol ... RC4?
Opera not loading. Firefox ok, but separate issue; slooooow on a fast connection.
Opera:
This site can’t provide a secure connection
investorshub.advfn.com uses an unsupported protocol.
The client and server don't support a common SSL protocol version or cipher suite. This is likely to be caused when the server needs RC4, which is no longer considered secure.

Bounty Hunter Tracks Chinese Companies That Dupe Investors
Mr. Seiden and team, start here (and PM me if you want a trove of details).
http://www.huozhan.com/LogonAction_welcome.do?index=index

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/16/business/dealbook/bounty-hunter-tracks-chinese-companies-that-dupe-investors.html?hpw&rref=business&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&module=well-region®ion=bottom-well&WT.nav=bottom-well&_r=0
Bounty Hunter Tracks Chinese Companies That Dupe Investors
Robert W. Seiden is a Wall Street bounty hunter. He tracks down executives of Chinese companies that listed on stock exchanges in the United States and then blew up.
It is a painstaking business that few are willing to do.
One of his current targets is the chairman at Sino Clean Energy, who has battled with investors in a Nevada state court since 2014. On Feb. 16, the trial judge found the executive, Ren Baowen, in criminal contempt and ordered his arrest for failing to comply with earlier court orders.
In an attempt to increase the pressure on Mr. Ren, Mr. Seiden, the court-appointed receiver for Sino Clean, prepared a notice about the arrest warrant to be published through PR Newswire, which distributes corporate news releases.
The release was published on Feb. 29 — but not in China, where Mr. Ren lives. PRNewswire, in an email to Mr. Seiden, said it had refused to publish the notice there citing “heightened political sensitivity concerning Chinese investment interests.”
It was not the first time Mr. Seiden’s tactics have been thwarted. It is the reason many remain skeptical of his efforts. Nevertheless, he has embraced the challenge and become the go-to person for American investors who are suing Chinese companies saying that they were swindled.
“Unless the Chinese government is coming to arrest me, I’m going to do whatever is legally permissible by court order,” Mr. Seiden said in a recent interview.
Mr. Seiden, 52, a former Manhattan prosecutor, has been appointed by judges as the receiver to oversee the management of nine Chinese companies — many incorporated in Nevada — that once traded shares in the United States.
But his actual dollar recoveries for investors have been small — just $8 million out of the nearly $90 million he has sought to recoup.
A Sherlock Holmes enthusiast (a bust of the fictional detective sits on his desk in Manhattan), Mr. Seiden has built a reputation for being tenacious. And for good reason: Getting Chinese executives to pay up involves extensive meetings, negotiations and cooperation from Chinese authorities and bankers.
He is not just focused on China. He employs former agents from intelligence agencies around the world, including the Mossad in Israel and the K.G.B. in Russia, to help him conduct cloak-and-dagger investigations in places like Russia, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan.
He opened his company, Confidential Global Investigation, in 2008. Early on, he did work for hedge funds and their investors. But one of his first jobs in China was for Richemont, the company that owns luxury brands like Cartier, Piaget and Jaeger-LeCoultre. Mr. Seiden tracked down a ring of counterfeiters operating from Latvia and Scotland and manufacturing fake watches in China.
In 2013, Mr. Seiden received a call from a lawyer representing a large investor in ZST Digital Networks, a Chinese equipment maker. A Delaware judge appointed Mr. Seiden as the company’s receiver to enforce the terms of a $32 million judgment on behalf of the investor. Mr. Seiden is still trying to get that money back, but the assignment started him on a new career path.
More work started to flow from investor lawsuits over reverse mergers. In those deals, Chinese companies looking to trade in the United States bypassed the traditional method of an initial public offering and instead merged with largely defunct companies that already had shares listed on an exchange in the United States.
Starting in the mid-2000s, these companies drew a wave of interest from investors who thought they could get rich from China’s surging economic growth. But years later, they had little but burned fingers to show for their investments.
Many of the Chinese companies were soon engulfed in accounting irregularities or allegations of outright fraud. Others simply stopped submitting quarterly financial statements in the United States, leaving investors in the dark about what was happening with their operations in China.
Critics say regulators have been slow to act.
“The U.S. regulators have been unwilling to go to the mat on this,” said Paul Gillis, an accounting professor at Guanghua School of Management, Peking University in Beijing.
At the same time, there has been little political will to do anything about in China. “The responsibility for this stuff is spread out too widely, there are so many different Chinese bureaucracies involved,” Professor Gillis said.
But recently, Mr. Seiden has enlisted some officials in China. With the help of China’s Ministry of Finance and Commerce and the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, Mr. Seiden collected $4 million from a settlement with Shengtai Pharmaceutical in 2015.
Mr. Seiden said that he expected to collect an additional $28 million within months as a result of current negotiations, including talks with Mr. Ren’s legal team.
In the case of Sino Clean Energy, a clean coal manufacturing company, Mr. Seiden contends in court filings that Mr. Ren “stole millions of dollars” from investors in the United States by “going dark.”
The company, based in Xi’an, China, has not filed updated financial statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission since early 2012, according to the investor lawsuit.
Sino Clean Energy listed its shares on the Nasdaq stock market after a reverse merger in 2006 with a largely defunct company called Endo Networks. It then raised more than $26 million in the United States.
Matthew C. Zirzow, the Las Vegas bankruptcy lawyer for Sino Clean, did not return a telephone call seeking comment. Another lawyer for Mr. Ren could not reached for comment.
Investors in companies that Mr. Seiden is pursuing to recover money acknowledge that the efforts are long shots.
John J. Kassay Jr. of Parksville, N.Y., said he lost about $20,000 on his investment in Sino Clean and joined the lawsuit in Nevada against Mr. Ren and the company to “take them to task.”
Whatever money he gets back from the litigation will be worth it, he said.
Michael Sammons, a San Antonio investor who lost money in two Chinese companies, Weikang Bio-Technology Group and RINO International, said he could not find anyone other than Mr. Seiden to take on these cases.
“He is pretty much the only game in town,” said Mr. Sammons, who said he first learned of Mr. Seiden’s name from an article three years ago in The Wall Street Journal.
Mr. Seiden’s firm has grown from a handful of employees, including Steven, his brother, to 20 employees. Chinese reverse merger cases account for about 80 percent of the firm’s work.
“We are creating a pathway to get money back,” he said.
A recent crackdown on financial firms because of turmoil in the Chinese stock market has heightened concerns about how China treats foreign business interests when they conflict with its own.
A spokeswoman for PRNewswire said it did not publish the release in China because of new Chinese government restrictions on what foreign companies may publish online.
Yet while China can appear to be uncooperative with demands from outside investors, that attitude is changing as some Chinese leaders want to show that it can be a reliable business partner, Mr. Seiden argued.
Still, when he is in China — where he spends up to one month a year — he uses disposable phones and changes his hotel room after he checks in to make it more difficult for people to track his whereabouts, he said.
The investors he represents say they sense that change could be underway. At the very least, they figure his help cannot hurt.
“It’s a big battle, and it’s a big unknown because it has not been done before,” said Alain Peracca, a former Microsoft executive and an investor in Sino Clean Energy. “It is the only hope that shareholders have.”

Your email is dated April 13th, well before the intro of the NeuroSync. In other words, history, the Bronze Age. Let's see what the current developers do with the technology.
Remember a bit more history. The transistor was thought to be a toy until Sony took it VERY seriously.
In 1952 Bell Labs offered to license the point-contact transistor for $25,000 against future royalties. They had few takers apart from a small Japanese start-up called Sony. Its first transistor radio sold, in 1954, for $49.95.
