Thanks. There goes my conspiracy theory out the window :)

I know that MM's need to provide liquidity to the market, but where exactly are all these shares coming from? Are they hoarded by the MM's to provide liquidity when needed? There has to be a buyer and a seller for each transaction, and the MM's have to honor all orders. But there are a lot of shares showing up that I don't see listed on L2 and that seem to materialize out of thin air. Where do they come from? I don't really understand the process and there is a surprising lack of information online about market makers and how they function and any regulations they must follow. They don't enjoy a very good reputation....about as popular as lawyers in my estimation.

Also, I see a consistent short interest of 3.7M shares for TKOI on OTCMarkets.com. Is this real? I've been told you can't short a penny stock, and I can't imagine anyone shorting this company with all the good news, but why is this showing up online? Any insight?

Things are looking positive. Just need a little news to get things rocking and rolling again.
