not saying it will happen but it has happened. you should probably check out the history of the companies that take over lazar tickers i can tell you i've been in a few with very low floats and os then the company takes over and does a large RS which makes no sense like you said
Examples: FHAI BHPA HSTA IDAD SOLS FTGI PGLO and so on
Fortunately i've never been burned. I sold HRAA at .10 which ended up being too early because of the prospects of a RS
