Volume is not as pathetic as you make it out to be, as you said for a penny stock its been pretty consistent over the past month plus.
Over the past month plus volume has been averaging $725k a week which is not bad in penny world, especially for one with a low, locked float.
Sure we are not doing million dollar days but this has been consistently doing $100k plus a day for a while with yesterday being the low volume pull back.
And you can say this needs 50M volume days to move to .10 or to .25 but this went from .0024 to .016 on 257M in volume over a 3 week period, so it does not need the level of volume you are saying simply do to the locked float.
Plus, everyone should expect that volume will decrease as share price increases, sure 50M volume at .002 makes sense, but 50M at .02-.05 starts to not make as much sense with again the low, locked float
