your post makes absolute sense as a very plausible scenario that would explain some of what is going on with the sales of PYPR stock.

Does anyone know if ATrade has been purchasing shares during this "restriction" If so, it seem like it might be extremely incriminating in a courtroom.

'cards' That was a beaut'... and from my speculative mind knowing these guys will 'do absolutely anything' to make a buck at our expense...that was worth a member mark. And lovin' it! SC.

Great post inthecards!

Is exactly what I've been learning about since I came here a month ago. The mkt. is not at all like you're "everyday joe (josephine)" like me would expect. I THOUGHT I'd try to find a co. that might do well and invest in it and hope for the best. I THOUGHT I could spend my money how I like here and hopefully have a little fun, down on some days, up on others. I THOUGHT the broker was there to buy and sell the stock for me. I THOUGHT the worst you could get here was someone buying really low and selling about the time I get in making it go back down again. lol..
I know I should have done more DD B4 getting into it. It's something I'd been wanting to do for , I don't want to say how many years lol, too many. & I didn't invest the farm, I started out low. I'm patient. I'm not going to regret some of this in the end.... like PYPR :-). I'm havin a good time :-) waiting for better! lol

I can't say i'm not complaining though cuz I am complaining about all the shorting. It's disgraceful. & as inthecards said "they are kinda leaving their customers out to dry..." It's affecting a lot more than "their customers" too.
sorry so loooong.. anyways.. great post inthecards.

inthecards: intersting theory.

How do you explain that other brokers that use the same MM as Ameritrade are still allowing PYPR buying/selling and UBSS is still showing up on both the bid and the ask?

"the MM that shorted the stock thinks that PYPR is like most all other pinkies and doesnt think he will have too much of a problem and believes it wont be too hard to cover the shares he shorted"

what the MM did not expect was PYPR to continually release more and more good PR's and for that matter report very solid financials

I don't foresee a job for you trading for a MM. ;-)

I just don't see the short position. The float here is ~1.6B according to the moderator. Now if we throw in rampant fictitious shares, that would put the float at ~2B shares (let's assume 400M NS shares based on TAKI's numbers from buyins.net). Taking into account the tightly held tradeable shares PRd by MT, and adding in an assumed 400M NS shares, the tradeable # of shares would be ~1B (500 - 700M not tightly-held free trading float + 400M NSS). Now I ask you, given the news releases, WHERE IS THE VOLUME? If there are 1B tradeable shares right now, you would think with the news that has come out there would be better than just a 200M share day. Trading less than 1/2th the 500M - 700M free trading float on blockbuster news is hardly abnormal. All IMO.
