Pure wisdom! Thanks for posting this info and the link Trader53.

All, take note:
"If a market maker wants to accumulate a large amount of a stock in one trading day, that market maker may actually not report any of the trades that occurred until the trading day has endedso as not to alert the market to the collection. This practice is completely legal under the FINRA rules of the OTC Markets so long as the trade is reported at the end of the day."
You MUST read and research the business you are in, whatever that business is: stocks, bonds, real estate, being an employee, being a student... whatever you're choosing to do right now. I remember reading a post where someone wrote something like "Hey! I have $100 to invest, what should I do with it?" My first thought was to write "read all of the educational links in Trader53's main board message, then you'll know what to do." Didn't reply, but if I come across it again I'd say this...
"Do so much research and reading into this subject
(OTC stock investing)
that the next time a thought like this comes into your mind-- to blindly ask strangers what to do with your money--
will "signal" moves in advance buy using small amounts of buys or sells as "signals".
The "signals" are such a small amount of shares (worth no more than 5 or 10 dollars) that no trader would have paid a commission that costs more than the amount of shares bought.
The "signals" are from one MM to another.
100 - I need shares. 200 - I need shares badly, but do not take the stock down. 300 - Take the price down so I can load shares 400 - Keep trading it sideways. 500 - Gap the stock. This gap can be either up or down, depending on the direction of the 500 signal.
505 - I am short on shares 600 - Means provide resistance 900 - Means let the stock float 911 - Pending News/Press Release On The Way 1000 - Don't let it run 2100 - Let it run
