To be a good investor, one has to seperate the actions of the company from the influence of the market makers. Without that seperation, an investor will get taken for a ride with every movement that is influenced by the MM's, and the MM"s love to take advantage of naive investors. It wouldn't matter if HLNT was trading at .02, .10, or even a Dollar, if the MM's want to manipulate the stock. And that applies to any stock at any level as well, unless there is sufficient trading volume that prevents the kind of manipulation we saw yesterday.

True, we should't put the blame entirely on the MM's, but don't downplay the influence that they have either.
