Good, audited, financials and profits aren't something MMs can do much manipulation against. It'll become too obvious they are doing it for it go on for very long once those are out. I am not an expert, but it looks like this stock will probably churn along in this $1 to $2 range until the evidence is overwhelming that it's severely undervalued and someone big does an article on it that starts people buying. Right now plenty of people are watching and waiting, but they aren't going to commit. Everyone (including me) wants uplisting, but profits should come first. It'll be a quicker, more decisive, fight against shorters and manipulators that way.
