What do you mean by 'these tickers', are you referring to pinksheets in particular?
I'll be frank, your statements don't show any experience in pinksheet stocks at all.
1. Pinks don't run at all if the MMs don't want them to. It would take a substantial amount of buying pressure to move a stock against the MMs. We aren't even coming close. Gold on the deck might do it and only might. It may take a big divvy to get it to happen.
2. PPS has nothing to do with anything, "holding .05-.10 PPS without revenue" has zero relevence without considering the share structure.
3. Pinksheet stocks are shorted constantly. LEGAL has absolutely nothing to do with it. Naked shorting is not a myth, it's a business plan for some brokerages. People have been manipulating pinksheet stocks, in one way or another, since I first bought one in 1998 and before that I am sure.
4. $.02 is high for a lot of pinksheet stocks. There is a long way to go down from here. Considering the amount of share's sold by the company, DPBM has shown a lot of support. I've seen pinks drop from .20 to .02 in a matter of weeks and it's taken DPBM a whole year. If we don't start seeing revenues, we could be at .002 really quick.
5. According the rumors they been days away from bringing up millions since last summer. Do we believe it more than then? I do, but others may not.
So anyway, I'm sure I pissed you off more than 'helped you out' as requested, but I think your view of what should be happening is colored by what you want to have happen. This is behaving exactly like most pinksheets I know, especially one where there has been substantial selling by management.
