It's there now...
nevermind just saw your next post!
I believe they are going to use the vote replies as proof of the phantom shares. They claim 320 some million shares outstanding. When they get back 900 million votes, well, there is some more proof the brokers have oversold their shares in the naked fashion. Why else go out of their way to make phone calls to investors homes, even on weekends, by Okapi Partners?
Summed up my sentiment exactly, Reg. Good post.
I was way off:
129,210 @ $0.33285
I'm expecting the upcoming after market average price form t report to be around 260,000 shares near $0.3375

That will only show you today. Bloomberg does not support that information historically. I have asked them to add it and it will come out in future releases.
The historicals are all on my twitter feed @ TC_Trader and I will post today's after the close. It is currently 76% hitting the ask and 18% hitting the bid.
Yes it is, I'll take Bloomberg's word for it, the number 1 trading system in the world that costs $1500/month over a free webpage called OTCshortreport.com
Wrong and the proof is on my twitter feed.
From: http://www.32trades.com/market-makers-knowing-what-youre-up-against/
"Traders often catch a story, rumor, news or filings about a company and will rush over to their trading screens to place an order. Level 2 can be one of the most valuable tools a trader can have, but like any tool in a tool chest, not understanding how it works, can sometimes turn what was thought to be a good idea into a quick buck for someone using dirty market makers. While the role these guys play on OTCBB and Pinksheets listed stocks is huge, who they are and how they work is critical knowledge in the quest to know what you’re up against when trying to make a couple of bucks.
What are Market Makers?
A market marker is a firm whose sole function is to help make a market for a stock, by making bids and offers from their account in the absence of public buy or sell orders. Often times, there is not a lot of liquidity or trading volume in some of these stocks which creates a need for market makers to step in and create an environment in order to draw in a crowd and make something happen. Just like a Vegas bookie, these market makers compete with one another to buy or sell stocks to investors with their displayed bids and offers, profiting by taking the order and by taking advantage of the bid and ask spreads.
Just like bookies, some are slightly more legit than many others are that you will see regularly when playing hot stocks.
Why Are Market Makers Important?
Like it or not, your fate is in the hands of market makers since they essentially control the stock market. Your order placed to buy or sell a stock on the OTC Markets will usually pass through one of the more trusted sources like NITE, ATDF, ETRF, and ARCA. Seeing a level 2 screen which only has these on it is what’s referred to as a “Clean Level 2” – one with no dirty hands on it. Typically, these four are there to do what markets makers are supposed to do which is simply fill buy & sell orders without attempting to manipulate the behaviour pattern of a particular stock.
When I see these four market makers on a level 2 screen, usually I will investigate the orders that have recently gone through to see if they were sells or buys in an effort to gauge the psychology of those involved already with the stock. Since there is a high probability these trades are being done by traders and not the market makers until given some reason to see otherwise, it gives some clearer insight as to an expected direction/momentum for stock on a given day.
Pump It
Given what’s been said so far, don’t put it past these four to play games and try to manipulate a stock. One of the signs is when you see a particular one on the top of the bid and ask with a spread wide enough to provide for them to scalp some profits in between. Regardless, these four are much less harmless than when you start getting into the “B” and “V” groups that can take something like that sounds all good and yet every bid posted gets whacked as fast as every ask order gets hit.

Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated STFL
Wedbush Securities Inc. WEDB
Glendale Securities, Inc. GLED
Alpine Securities Corporation ALPS
CRT Capital Group LLC CRTC
The list above is based on order of recent activity with AEXG being the most active in transactions and CRTC the least active. The “Three C’s”: Citadel Securities (CDEL), Canaccord Genuity (CSTI) and Cantor Fitzgerald (CANT) are almost always on a ticker together with the four more trusted sources mentioned above. While these “Three C’s” are rarely toxic diluters, they can be heavy short sellers at times, taking advantage of a good thing which is part of the game.
Of the highlighted ones listed towards the top of the table, what you will experience most always when trying to battle with them is that when these diluting market makers appear, they will usually show 10,000 shares for trade. Countless “Ask Slaps” at that 10,000 do nothing as the count remains 10,000 due to a very deep well of securities to sell. Others listed lower like WDCO, STXG and GLED are brokerage houses which will take share certificates and clear them for low level toxic diluters (those who cut a deal with a company to buy some shares on the cheap).
pumaOf all those listed, PUMA is one which can make you pull your hair out more often than not. A lot of times you will see PUMA on the high bid and rarely, if ever, on the ask. Then, there are times where you will see PUMA boxed in (on the high bid and the high ask) with a wide enough spread to “scalp” the in between as well as scare investors into selling to them on the bid.
What PUMA will be looking to accomplish is one of two things: either accumulating ahead of an anticipated public event, or a short covering before a possible move to the upside. Either way, this battle can last weeks and makes seeing them atop the bid/ask of a ticker one you will only want to enter into if it’s understood you could be there for awhile.
Contrary to popular opinion, market makers don’t really have a license to print money like many try to insinuate. They get their $1,000,000 fines every other year from the SEC for jumping bids although they are required to buy and sell at bid and ask prices. Despite having the ability to hedge by short selling and swap agreements (which come across the screen as T-Trades or show “avg.” after it), both of which many individual investors see as “market manipulation,” they create the market for the little or no trading volume stocks."
Gus-
I was just looking at the same thing. There were in fact some days like this in recent memory...November 16th for instance, the start of this run up from the 16-17 cent range. Check out the lower right of the image here:

You can get the live bid/ask here. Just look under the big bold last trade which is 15 minute delayed and you'll see "Real Time Best Bid & Ask". You can also see the whole market depth in the table below the ads.

The theory is nobody is selling but there is too much supply of stock so even though there are more buyers than sellers, we're just eating up the over-supply. Dilution is a killer.
There is more supply than demand.
Link to visual curve did not work (on my phone)
That was posted here and twitter back in July
I believe we are seeing nakeds being covered right before our very eyes...by NITE and/or CSTI via VNDM and/or CANT. All IMHO of course! Now if I could just get @bagholderquotes to notice this it would make my day that much better!
I have done the exact same thing the past two years Cherry, all with NWBO stock.
Spot on, I have been thinking up what their excuses will be for about a month.
Incorrect. That is a Form T AP Report. That is an average price report. Somebody bought that much throughout the day. Any day we go up those reports are lower than the close b/c they were accumulated throughout the day while the price was lower...so, some institutional trader is involved here. Anyone tries to tell you otherwise, they're wrong. Look over the past several weeks, it's been happening almost every single day.
Clay will be back tonight now that we broke into a new level. It's a classic technical set up. Everyone who thinks he is some sign to shorts I completely disagree but I understand the thought. It's just not one I share. His timing is impeccable for a reason. Charts tell the story when there's no news to work off of. If they finally put out real news, all charts go out the window and they reset at new levels.
I'm here. I tweeted yesterday that we'd break 0.32 today.
$0.32 been a bitch but it breaks tomorrow, pretty smooth sailing to $0.41 $NWBO

I really think you all are reading it wrong and he didn’t add anything. I think it is just broken down oddly. I won’t be able to verify until tomorrow. I will look at it and then email Mitchell Fraser Jones at Woodford.
No problem H2
yes, right before the miami conference for those not paying attention
Since some guy named JerryC doesn't understand common sense, this prior posting and below is to show that the WARRANTS for Sabby went down significantly while the SHARES went up slightly. Nobody is claiming Sabby holds the combined shares.

Chardan Case Update:

I can't get in to see the details but sounds to me like it may be ending. If you google search what that means, basically the Chardan lawyer wants off the case.
Perhaps Barcode can update us.

He will be back when we break 0.32 because that is a clear setup to run to 0.41. He only shows up when there is a reason to, such as a breakout into a new trading range. Right now we are stuck between 0.23 and 0.32
Yee yee
It has all been because they don’t have the right person raising funds from institutional investors, they don’t get what needs to happen from that aspect. I voiced concern in that area 1.5 years ago.
The problem with this bear theory is bears claim the sec is investigating Nwbo while at the same time saying Nwbo is using Nwbo as a financing scheme to fund Cognate right under the sec’s nose. Come on!
They have done some things very poorly, there is no doubt about it. All on the financial side. I am frustrated too. Every time I want to complain instead I do more research or talk privately to other investors whom I trust to get more opinions. It has resulted in me buying more. There is still a chance I am wrong but I am content with my risk. If you believe in something you gotta go for it. The way I see it I can always make more money, I have a great job. But I don’t get more time. I want the time I have left to be able to do what I want so I am taking this chance. If it doesn’t pan out I just work at a good job longer than anticipated but I will be fine. If it does pan out I will have enough money to retire and work how I want before age 40.
I think there are 4 kinds of people:
1) those who donate time
2) those who donate money
3) those who donate both
4) those who donate nothing
I have always been #2...I want my time but I will donate money almost any time I am asked. So perhaps I just don’t value money like you and the risk here with NWBO comes easier to me. Maybe you are a number 1. It could be as simple as that and have nothing to do with this company and their awesome plan or lack thereof.
