It's so transparently criminal. It makes you wonder if there isn't collusion ahead of the fact between the MM's and the principles. Otherwise, the MM's would just be winging a short on a prayer that the company will go along with a naked short cover. The is is the most blatently manipulative part of the mk't, it happens on the NASDAQ as well, remember GRIN? And just a couple of months ago, VLPI I believe, was the anthrax related stock with a similar naked short than issuance of shares to cover. MM's have become desparate to maintain their profits, and are going to kill the OTC, their golden goose, just to fleece the wool for one more season.
Anyway, I saw your post on errorl on SI, is he bashing the stock?
imho, Jerome
