Because MMs dont screw REAL cos REAL cos screw MMs..You can only manipulate companies so far normally in the initial stages of building into something viable. If they have a viable product then the sheer volume of buying causes an explosion in price and the fact that investors hold on to the stock prevents MMs who are short from buying back in thereby making them cover at the higher pps.. If this really has a contract coming than kaboom..It certainly has my interest. imo
