i guess you did not read about the two men charged in a s.e.c. march 14 for stock manipulation with beverage creation..the stock ran from 2 cents to $1.83 before it was halted..i agree it does seem doubtful because of the sheer amount of these pennies but it does happen now and then..the same two seemed to be involved with a company last fall -connect -a- jet inc. which also ran up big..maybe the biggie for the s.e.c. is when they run big then the s.e.c. radar gets turned on..we do not have this situation with prom except for the rampant touting of much gold we have not seen a thing but 9 grams tested 4 times in prs..the 10 groups you mentioned must feel prom has a certain credibility or they would take the big hit and move on..a couple may have helped them with the $40,000 so maybe we get a pr soon!
