Wow, 3 hours, 18 minutes since last trade crossed. It posted it's last trade for the day at 12:42 Eastern. Market closes 4 PM Eastern. That's a long, long time gap for not even a single trade to post, not even $200 bucks worth or some micro order?

And they had the spread at near 15% wide pretty much all day- trying to get someone to bite on that huge spread. They posted a few trades on the Ask, almost makes you think it might be the trading desk itself, posting a few, tiny buys at those 15% wide open spreads to see if they can get other buyer's enticed to bite and jump in on that wide gap- but doesn't seem to be working or drawing any attention IMO.

Really odd IMO. Last week when it broke down hard to the sub 2 cent area, it was doing over 1 million a day and several days where it broke 2 million plus shares a day.

Today again, total vol was 258K shares X about .018 = about $4,600.00 total dollar vol on the day. Not even $5K.

One sell order of size in this low vol, low/no trading, flat line type environment will sink this again IMO, and from watching it in the past in this mode. Just one "big boy" unloading a single, decent sized sell order and this could hit the 1 cent range in a blink, the way it's done many times in the past.
