Hey breharb,
Thanks for the perspective. That makes sense. Actually I was invested in another penny that did a 1000:1 R/S. It held at a $1.74 for about a day, and within two weeks was at $.004.
If HCPC were to uplist to the OTCQX, but drop below the .25 thresh-hold, is it possible for them to be "kicked" out of that market? If so, it seems, like you said, they want to make sure that the PPS is solid. Having confidence from the investors would hold the PPS much better than a R/S.
I am thinking out loud now, but thanks for your response. I hope to break out of my "novice trader" status within the next year or so :).
