That same thought has crossed my mind.

A few things puzzle me.

1. MM's typically make money off of volume and controlling the spread so as to maximize profits off of the trade. During this downtrend it would seem that they have thwarted volume and investor attention by stomping on any sort of rally and making buys look like sells. All of that has led to buyers being leery to buy more, yet selling is also minimal at this stage. So we sit here with smaller volume and that would seem to fly in the face of MM's doing things for their typical profits. All of this scenario has made me wonder what the MM's have up their sleeve as for reasons to hold price down for now?

2. If Larry has been telling the truth about dilution, and right now we still do not have hard facts to support whether he was lying or telling the truth, lets go with the assumption that he is telling the truth for discussion sake. That would make shares hard to come by since many of us dummies like myself have bought lots of shares and held on through this downtrend beating. With several holding, and several others adding or buying in new the MM's did not free up a ton of shares if they did want to hoard. Thus, we have seemed to consolidate down here and maybe the MM's are hoping they can free up some shares due to boredom or fear of the unknown? The MM or Banker or whoever handles the trading in Frankfurt would need the actual shares and possibly even the certificates. It could be them who have been working with a MM or two over here int he states to do this haording that you talk about? Just throwing out that idea as somethign else to contemplate.

3. Larry going on Air and repeating many of the things he has told jrdig and myself during private conversation was music to my own ears. I understand others scepticsim when some anonymous poster relays info heard from call to any CEO, but jrdig and myself knew what he had told us. With Larry repeating such info in a public way it made me think that he is one really stupid liar, or just maybe he has been telling the truth the whole time. I do not know for sure yet why everything has not come together as perfectly planned, but my guess is it might be more to Larry not being Jack Welch from GE fame, and more just a smaller time CEO who is not great at perfectly meeting planned dates and commitments on time. Then again, maybe Larry is not as stupid as some might think and could be delaying some of these PR's until the Frankfurt MM's get the amount of shares they have needed to really start the trading to begin with?

4. EQBM ha sseemed to mirror some of the onslaught on other junior miners as well. Made me wonder if MM's have been working in concert to control more than just EQBM for a later year run when they decide it is time? Check out the 5 day chart between mggv and eqbm.

All I do know is the patterns of this stock have had me mystified lately.
