Sometimes, particularly with penny stocks with poor management like erhc, deals in the works are announced long before they are consummated. Remember when big jane announced a deal in the works? And remembered all the 24/7 kaboom posts attesting to the existence of that rumored deal? Some even called it the buying opportunity of a lifetime, yes? Those are the facts, along with the indisputable fact that the stock trades at .0001 in spite of any attempts to create a new stock valuation paradigm.
