I either never saw it happening or it hadn't in the past, but this year it is very apparent. MMs walk pps down when trade volume is lax.

We all know why but it just is not right. MM's role is to PROMOTE trade not to promote the wellbeing of shorts. Walking the pps down after previous gains is ANTI-CAPITALISM.

Doing so when a company's share value is established based on steady trade between supply and demand of their shares SHOULD MELLOW OUT AT THAT PRICE until further info is provided that would change it (like fabulous revenue results (up) or failure to complete SEC reporting timely (down)). Well established bases were once the norm.

Instead, retail traders are stuck with an uptrend in value as a result of good results then a downtrend as MMs proceed to transfer gain from them and into the hands of shorts by walking the pps back down after each (and every) pps rise regardless of how well company fundamentals are.

My point being, even though SHs believe we are about to have a big shot in the arm in regard to gain (PRs identifying VXIT revenue streams), we must also adjust our mindset to realize MMs WILL walk the pps back down.

VXIT can't possibly issue constant positive information to inhibit MMs from what they do best (sell cheaper and cheaper shares). MMs will have their way once again (similar to the drop from .12 to where the pps is now).

What are we to do? Be aware of trade mechanics; trade with gain in mind; and make your goal that of, at a minimum, putting some gain in hard cash. IMO, being long entirely is not in your best interest when MMs seek to covet short's interests while giving the retail traders the shaft.

It has been a long hard cynic year of investing.
