That's how I have been looking at things as well. Hence my question mark about being a self-fulfilling prophecy. In any case, he is effective.
To me the OTC is nothing more than one giant Ponzi scheme where buyers essentially support other buyers driving up the price and of course there has to be enough support at the bottom to support the selling at the top. After all, these companies really do not have any fundamentals to support much of anything let alone having a stock price at all. Just don't get caught holding the hot potato. And then you will make money.
Just my humble opinion, of course.
