You are absolutely correct that the number of trades will determine how far a stock can run when a good fluff PR comes out.If there are not many trades it means there is no interest in this stock.How can anyone think otherwise. Also how does one claim to know that good news is coming soon if they aren't getting inside information?
You are correct that we need more investors. However, it give me the chance to have a higher percentage of ownership in this company if there are not more people buying. I have no problem with that, as my shares will be bid up big time when announcements are made. Not long to wait....a month or two.
