What you have witnessed is the classic case of Market
Maker Manipulation and Shorting... As many of you know this is very common in the world of small cap/OTC BB stocks.
By Law, MMs must buy back (cover) their short positions
within 5 days.
We should expect a short squeeze tomorrow, Monday
or Tuesday that will drive the stock past .80 again.
Just an FYI to those who are new to investing... MMs short
stocks all the time... on the NYSE, Nasdaq, and OTC BB. They have the advantage of shorting stocks on the OTC BB even when we (as individual investors) do not.
Two years ago the SEC made it mandatory for FINRA to report
the total shares sold short each day. So at least we are not totally blind as to how and when the MMs are shorting.

Short Interest for PSPW
Date|Symbol|ShortVolume|ShortExemptVolume|TotalVolume|Market

NOTICE the jump in Short Interest Today... Thursday the 14th.
It more than doubled from Wed, the 13th.
We started to see a bit of a short covering today... this should continue tomorrow and early next week. Combine this with Organic Buying Pressure and we should break 1 dollar very quickly.
But always remember... stocks go up and down regardless of market news, PRs, 8ks etc. It is the nature of the MM to manipulate stocks... that is how they make their money.
So hopefully some of you now understand a little bit more about the sneaky behavior of MMs and how they can affect the PPS.
Have a great night... See you all tomorrow.
