Zeaks can go to http://eparent.com/index.asp and enter MPDD in its search bar...you may also read about it at Norman Marcus Pain Institute there as well. http://www.nmpi.com/f-a-q/muscle-pain-detection-device.
If you really want them to start promoting this product I suggest you say your goodbyes and farewell to your opportunity to buy at micro sub penny prices today... as the days for sub penny prices for EPGL may very well be numbered.
When a company becomes confident enough. I suggest you observe and focus on the financial aspect full reporting first and their management to follow reporting procedures thereafter. That is much more important at this time than jumping to dividends for EPGL.
But to help answer your question in general:
Not a stupid question at all YogInvest.. some answers for you.
(Personally I use my own real time stream sources, but the following are for people who want to use Investors Hub services)
Q: What is Level 1?
A: A service which displays the real time highest Bid and lowest Ask quotes along with volume and the last days price.
Q: What is Level 2?
A: A service containing Level 1 information plus quotes from all the MM's who are actively trading a stock.
Q: What is Level 3?
A: A service containing Level 2 information plus the ability to enter quotes and send orders to the market. It is a restricted service available only to the MM's. It is the service they use to trade with.
Q: What is a Market Maker or MM?
A: A broker or dealer who holds an inventory of shares for the stocks it handles making a market for those stocks displaying their Bid and Ask prices.
Q: What are the Bib and Ask prices?
A: The Bid is where MM's are holding buy orders at, the Ask is where they are holding sell orders at.
Q: Why do some stocks have a larger spread between the Bid and Ask than others?
A: Larger cap stocks that are more liquid will have a smaller spread than a smaller cap stock that is less liquid. You will generally want to see a smaller spread.
Q: What does the term liquidity mean in the stock market?
A : Liquidity is determined by the volume and the ability to sell a stock quickly. High volume stocks which are easier to trade are considered more liquid.
Q: Why do different MM's show different Bid prices on the same stock?
A: Each MM displays the highest buy orders they are holding. When the MM at the top of the list has filled his orders he will drop of and the next MM in line will be displayed as the current best offer. If a new MM comes in with a higher buy order or a current MM receives a higher buy order, he will go to the top of the list.
Q: Why do different MM's show different Ask prices on the same stock?
A: Each MM displays the lowest sell orders they are holding. When the MM at the top of the list has filled his orders he will drop of and the next MM in line will be displayed as the current best offer. If a new MM comes in with a lower sell order or a current MM receives a lower sell order, he will go to the top of the list.
Q: The Bid and Ask prices are the same? What's going on?
A: Called a Locked Market, where opposing MM's Bid and Ask prices match. There is no advantage for the MM's, it's just a coincidence.
Q: What is a Raw Data / Time and Sales display?
A: A display showing tick by tick each trade that goes through the market. The date, time, price and volume of each trade is displayed along with what the Bid and Ask prices were at that time. This is the data that charts are built from.
Q: While watching Time and Sales, how do you know if a trade was a buy or a sell?
A: A trade at the bid is considered a sell. A trade at the ask is considered a buy. A trade in the middle can go to whichever is closer.
Note: If you are wondering how a trade can go through at a figure outside the current Bid or Ask without the MM list changing is that it happens so quickly there is not enough time for the quote system to react to it but it will show up on a time and sales display.
Q: What is the MM wall or the resistance point on a Level 2 quote?
A: The wall is where one or more MM's are sitting at the same Ask price with large Ask sizes. It usually takes a lot of buying pressure to break through that point. When you see a wall creeping up the Level 2 display during a run it may be a good time to sell.
Q: Why does it mean when someone says the MM's are walking the price down?
A: An MM, investment group or large investor will throw small sells at the bid to drive the price down before accumulating a large amount of shares. They may also drive it down before they cover a short position. Watch for small trades like $5 to $20 at the Bid. There is nothing wrong with the stock, just someone taking the price down to buy cheaper shares.
Q: What MM's do you like to see on the Bid?
A: ABLE, ARCA, BEST, DATA, DOMS, EDGX, EFGI, FRAN, GNET, GNGL, HILL, JEFF, JIMK, MAXM, MURF, NIII, PERT, POND, QUIN, SALI, SCHB, SEAB, STGI, TDCM, TRAC, VERT, VNDM, WDCO
Q: What MM's do you hate to see on the Ask?
A: ACAP, AGIS, ARCA, BAMM, BMIC, BOFA, BRUT, BTRD, CGFL, CHIG, CLYP, ETRD, FANC, GNET, GVRC, HDSN, INCA, ISLD, REDI, JIMK, MAYF, NITE, RBCM, SACM, SBSH, SCHB, SSGI, UBSS, UCAP, VFIN
Q: What are ECN's?
A: ECN, Electronic Communications Network. An automated electronic trading system that allows users to execute trades without going through a Market Maker. Primarily used for Limit orders. It is expensive to use so it is generally used by the big boys or individual investors who do a lot of trading.
Q: Who are the ECN's?
A: ECN list, ARCA, AUTO, BRUT, BTRD, DATA, EDGX, GLBA, GNET, INCA, ISLD, REDI, TRAC. Limit orders are usualy routed to an ECN by your broker. ARCA is the ECN used by Ameritrade. If anyone knows any others please let me know.
Good. Thanks for the Level 2 update.
Looks like their "Autoresponders" to prevent losses when falling to a certain threshold is working just fine.
Weak Handling, More discounts, Excellent BUY.
There is no need to worry about .005
What one should worry about is when it gets to .05 and realize you did not buy enough shares when at sub-penny prices.
Its a good reminder for oneself to realize it is still 2012... and yes it is still October and yes EPGL has no sales.
Actually quite amusing for current reality aspects.
Reminder Refresher Course of Info from 3/28/12
Perhaps Greentrade may be on to something.
This article may very well back up his opinion of BILLION DOLLAR COMPANY.. but the price per share... that can actually be anyone's guess. Remember this article? TAKE A LOOK BELOW
First hand knowledge goes to EPGL Twitter Followers.... and then a Public Mass News tends to follow after a given time....which obviously comes too late.....
This quote is from cable:
Excellent. As long as they bring MONEY to the table whoever they appoint, is all that matters to me.
You can click the "Committee" or "Board Members" tab and see those names... at the least his name still shows up even under "Advisory Committee".

Just what the Bloomberg stat article says.
Perhaps you should notify them and tell them to update it then.
My pleasure.
Bloomberg Business Week Info Stat on EPGL at 12:42pm 10/24/12
Steven L. DeFelice M.D. served as Chief of Clinical Pharmacology at The Walter Reed Army Institute of Research... AND... that man is a member of EPGL Advisory Board since 2010.
Don't forget about the full reporting coming soon.

This is why I was watching for TUESDAY prior before any EPGL announcements..
taken from todays end of day streamer Tuesday October 23, 2012
see below
It was more BUYS than sell.. probably for the preparation on what EPGL upcoming announcement, if any will be. (If you remember that recent message that EPGL will make an announcement next week.. well next week is THIS WEEK... so others are waiting)
So going back 5 days from today, today seemed more organized than recent. Slow and steady rises are really nice, however the REAL deal is 2013,... and THATS what I want to look forward to to see how the final outcome will play...
Well the new day for EPGL might be November 19, 2012 if they are to full report on Nov. 16... Looking forward to it.
one last thing.. today was a non sporadic gradual incline... could we see more of this before 2013? No one knows for sure.
And the day ended back to where it was with several investors hoarding up more shares... NICE.
There is absolute truth to what you said a couple days back about EPGL, you are correct and I thank you Black8.
Interesting, I see where flaflyersfan is coming from... with all do respect here are his quotes and some actual visual to follow thereafter
Flaflyersfan... Black8 is currently on to something there.
I strongly agree with Black8's statement...
The only thing I would add to this discussion is to watch carefully after November 16 full reporting and three months into 2013.
Until then my next close watch for EPGL will be Tuesday.
First Minute Opening Bell on Friday Oct. 19, 2012 should see some BUYS... more than likely they will be regular people that came across some info about EPGL.
If the massive selling continues by the larger hands, I know that these "new" people will start buying more, taking advantage of the dips.... and maybe its not a big deal to professionals... but they have been informed about November 16 already.
Just a matter of time.
These people are not stupid.
....
YES.. I KNEW this device would eventually penetrate into the Veterinary/Equestrian (Horse Trainers) Market once medical human market has been launched after some given time...
Excellent.
From Twitter Q&A:
EPGL Med @EPGLMed
Its all about EPGL making us some money.
Thats all.
NICE VOLUMES...
Pat your self on the back to those lucky SOB's who stocked up today.
You know whats up.
NICE
Tell your neighbor THANKS and many other investors support SGDH.
Its obvious where this stock will be going in the near future.
Last Friday I said "More Volumes next week"... and today 10.15.12 with 20 minutes of the Market left open there was 203,908 volumes for today. 5 bought, 9 sold....Now that we got that out of the way Im curious for this Thursday..
I have extra money to play with, so I do not care.
Volume for 10.15.12 was 61,500 as one person only bought 9,000 shares, the other 3 sold, 30 minutes left before the Market closes, could be better, but Wednesday is coming up.
Why don't you list and show the rest of us what questions you are going to ask them on the 17th.
I myself am curious on what you will ask.
NICE.
Give me your Twitter name and I will follow you, I will retweet your message when you mention anything EPGL.
Mr. Johansing won't need to "tweet" about his Ecopaper, however whoever is tweeting under their name on Twitter does, and respectively they have 7,000+ that follows.
Utilizing and harnessing social media provides an extra support in this day an age. They may not mention their stock ticker SGDH, but curiosity will get to people if a follower's tweet mentions "that company's stock jumped 67% up that day"... as an example. Someone will come across that and become intrigued, if or when that does happen.
Thank you. Now their Ecopaper (SGDH) tweets have now been updated and sent to my phone for instant notification.
I shall pass on Facebook, no thanks.
Any EPGL tweets will be instant on my phone, therefore I will gladly retweet them to my other current 10,000+ followers. Highly recommended you do the same as well.
If you want to make the most or best of things.
If SGDH has a Twitter Account I will follow them and receive instant tweets, which I will gladly retweet to my current 10,000+ followers.
But I guess they don't.
YES. It will be EPGL Medical Sciences, Inc. in early 2013
Don't forget to post a link of your info source next time, so that others will know.... The following is from their website epglmed.com on their ABOUT page.

Im only interested in what the ASK will be during the very last week of December 2012.
A few of my old high school "Physician Friends" already placed their order for this product.
Not much for words... except they tell me they hate hearing their patients "whine about pain".

For you other "Lost Travelers" who know nothing about this... here... you can see the product in action or at least see what this actually is..... Click below

More volumes to be coming in next week.
Finally... more Volumes in.
The sole volume BUY of 1,994 (about $10.00) gave it a 19% jump. Lets see if there are some sell offs.
If you read what this company will do in 2013....
