Ok so i need to research a little more on the colors. Have always been told the color grey meant it was neither a buy or sell. Anyone know about the shares that went for nothing? Is that someone giving their shares back at market?

There are no one sided transactions.

A "buy" just means the buyer raised their price to meet or get closer to the bid than the ask.
A "sell" means the seller lowered their price to meet or get closer to the ask than the bid.

When a stock is no bid and the ask at $.0001, every trade (buy and sell) shows as a "buy" because you can't sell at $0 (or at least you'd be an idiot to do so).
