Excellent post and 100% correct!
Convertible note holders don't care about the price, since almost all the toxic convertible notes convert at a percentage of either the current stock price, or a percentage of the VWAP for a certain number of days, or the lowest price (or average of the lowest 3 prices) in a certain number of days. In otherwords, they are guaranteed to make money regardless of the price, and ironically, they actually will make more money at lower trading prices rather than higher ones.
What counts is not the price, but the volume. Since they make money regardless of the trading price, they just need people to take the shares off their hands. That is where the promotions and some bogus announcements by the companies come in. What the convertible note holders (they are not really "investors" as they don't meet the criteria) and CEO do, though, is make up stories to get new buyers into the stock so they can dump.
These floorless convertibles are known as "toxic death spirals" for a reason. They ultimately kill every stock that issues them.
