A large spread entices smart retail bidders looking for an opportunity to accumulate a good stock on sale. Smart investors use large spreads to their advantage, knowing if market makers bid tap a small number of shares to "suggest" the sky is falling, that inexperienced "traders/investors" may fall prey to an appearance of weakness and sell their position, transferring shares to a smart investor waiting on bid to buy at what they perceive as discounted shares.
The reason I believe a lot of these smaller share lots being traded are just market makers manipulating to entice action, is because based on the price per share AMFE is currently trading at, the average OTC retail investor who has under $1K to invest is not going to consider AMFE, rather they will look for .000 or .00 plays where they feel they can purchase hundreds of thousands of shares, or even a million shares.
From my observations here in AMFE, the walk down manipulation is becoming less frequent based on the maturing fundamentals behind the company itself. As this rapidly growing company continues issuing amazing news, it's getting harder and harder for market makers to use a wide spread and pick up shares on the bid because they're competing with smarter and smarter money.
And smart money is also realizing it's getting harder and harder to pick up on the bid. Thus, the sizable ask slaps we're seeing every now and then, despite the appearance of a lull in the action. We're also regularly seeing the bids move up throughout the day, as smart money is susceptible to being just as impatient as newbie or inexperienced money is when they chase.
No worries here, and if it weren't for watching other positions, and by default naturally checking in here, I probably wouldn't be posting as often as I do. This is a long hold if there ever was one in the OTC.
