I have not said that IMSC stock has never been manipulated, or maybe just "played with" by traders. I will reiterate that there is no evidence whatsoever that market makers are involved for their own accounts -- market makers generally (and particularly in the Pinks) simply represent orders from traders (and when I say "traders" that includes DMRJ).

I've owned IMSC on and off since it jumped from .03 to .11 - I'll let you look up when that was. I'll just say that having traded directly through market makers since before online brokerages existed, and having represented hedge funds and professional traders in my work, I will go with my own understanding of "how things work" over a lot of the unsupported theories that infest this board.

But the biggest question is, who cares whether the stock closes a couple of cents higher or lower on a given day? Is the concern that the company's business is so fragile that it matters to potential customers whether the stock is .82 or .85? I think that's just silly. And why should an investor with a medium-to-long-term horizon care about little fluctuations like that?
