"How would a company pump its shares, meaning raise the price, while using cash on hand to buy them back? That is a mutually exclusive scenario."
Exactly...yet BBRW has announced a $1.5 Million share buyback that is to begin next week LOLOL.
You must have missed that tidbit?
It's not always 'the company' that pumps a stock...third party consultants, and promoters (like Podcasters that can be paid with free trading shares), and CD holders also pump companies to create volume to dump into LOL.
