what that means is that a Market Maker who was advertising shares at 1.39$; in reality he did not want to sell and IN FACT could have been buying through other brokers. That we will never know.
That method is used to indicate there are sellers around not being Taken at the offer price. I called it a head fake.
With Market Makers sometimes your eyes do not see the entire picture.
Only you and others who wanted to buy at the same time knew this but only you asked.
You average investors out there have no idea how complicated the OTC Markets truly are.
I was once high bid for weeks in a company that was a huge success. Never bought a share but sold 100,000 or more for one client. That client was an insider. He knew the shares were going higher but sold for personal reasons.
