Oh my god. What planet are you on? I’m sure an executive or board member…or member of congress has NEVER traded on inside information before…or let family and friends know. And I’m sure influential institutions with large positions NEVER have information prior to its release. That would NEVER happen.
Look at Moderna’s stock chart in the months prior to Covid and immediately after the emergence of Covid. A company that had only recently gone public and never once had a single product on the market somehow attracted massive buying volume. I’m sure all those investors were just hopelessly “buying a dream” as well. Or maybe they knew something before the rest of us. But they couldn’t hide the volume or the chart patterns.
The OTC is no different. Someone always knows something. It’s the way of the world. A speculator such as I tries to find those patterns and go along for the ride.
