APS is not buying their shares up. They may buy some but they have but one mission to sell 100's of million of shares.
Every once in a while APS shuts the supply of shares off because everyone is bitching that the stock isn't going up. If the stock trades 10 million a day and they sell most of those to the public the pps will never go up. Pretty soon everyone gets tired of it, volume drops off and they start selling the shares they bought from APS and price goes down. To resolve the problem APS simply shuts off the tap of new shares and they price recovers. This gets the future BH's all excited so they back the truck up and start doubling up on shares and calling all their brothers and uncles and friends to let them know to buy as well. Volume picks up price goes up breaks out to the trading range and before you know it we have a full scale rally on our hands.
APS makes a killing on this promo selling shares at such a premium and everyone here is up at best Very best since APS promo started 61% and that's only if you bought at $1.13 on the low the day it dropped. An average based on a seasoned veteran trader, Garyst, $1.48 entry is a mere 22.9%. That's not much considering the risk of playing a stock already in the stratosphere. It is already well known that the exit point on GWBU is no higher than $3. This will have a way of becoming a self-fulfilling event. The newbie robots have been programed to sell at $3.
Your right this is not a short squeeze. APS and affiliates may be pushing the bid as well. It's not very hard if you know what you are doing. They may also be buying shares every time the ask moves higher. I use to routinely buy right up to the hitting the sell on all my shares. If you keep buying the new ask even if it is with only 100 shares it moves the high higher. This has a very powerful psychological effect on the I gotta get in, I gotta get in crowd. Most don't have level II so 100 shares or 100k shares what does it matter.
I you have a million shares to sell and the price is .10 you have $100k. For every penny you can move the bid up you have another $10k. If the ask goes to .102 buy some shares, The crowd mentioned above will see the price go up and they will get in. When the ask goes up and sits for a few seconds and no one buys buy some more shares. This works great if the volume is coming in and everyone on I-Hub pumper central are starting to get giddy. When they start talking about buying shares for the kids college fund, wife's whatever and they start High Fiving each other from the interaction of their posts it is time to leave and leave fast.
One other thing you are right about "but watch how hard it drops.. this will be .50c". The number of days aren't important just that you are there ready to smack the new BH's and knock some shares out of their hands as they hit the ground for the bounce. I love the chart because this is going to be such a good bounce. Until then Rally On! $3 is $1.2 away.
