The explanation you'll get will only be speculation.
I doubt this is pump and dump because if you look at the frequency and content of posts during its consolidation phase there really isn't jack about this company that really pumps it. Many of us here are speculating and gambling that this company has a great shot at getting a contract in this whole oil mess. The potential greatly exists now. I by all means am not a pumper, but I hope to be a dumper when this thing hits big (which I hope it does). I'll still be a dumper if I smell something fishy going on here, but MAN I haven't smelled anything fishy yet. I think todays increase in PPS was due to major speculation and a lot of gamblers betting on this one.
