It's actually pretty simple. When you have a large spread in a stock, there can be huge gaps in price when trades are executed.

We've recently seen a bid/ask spread as high as 10% plus in GLUC on a couple of occasions.

If the stock is bid at $5.00 and offered at $5.25, someone selling is going to get the bid price and someone buying will get filled at the ask price.

Trades going through within minutes of each other will cause the wild swings that you are trying to so hard to understand.

If there is any manipulation in this stock (which we doubt) it is likely due to Market Maker activities.

While you may have been trading stocks for 40 years, we doubt that you have ever traded in a OTC stock with such a low number of shares in the public float as GLUC has.
