Here is my hypothesis as to why the PAIV was up over 750% in the past 2 weeks.
1. PAIV announced that it was turning the company around with new strategic plans and with the goal of being listed in the NASDAQ or AMEX. To be listed in the NASDAQ, a company must be trading above $1.
3. IMO, I believe PAIV has been quietly buying back its shares in order to achieve its objectives. We all know that PAIV made its first profits ever this past quarter and hopefully will come out with record earnings this coming quarter. EPS=earnings/shares outstanding. Therefore, if the company buys back most of the outstanding shares and they come out with positive net income this quarter, then, attractive EPS and PE ratios would bring the price per share to over $1, thus meeting one of NASDAQ's requirements.
4. There are millions of stocks restricted for 2 years as a result of the recent merger and therefore these millions of restricted shares cannot be sold in the open market until the restriction is lifted in about 2 years. This gives PAIV the ability to continue buying all the possible shares in order to achieve its goals and objectives to be listed either in the NASDAQ or AMEX.
