gtv, please allow and believe me when I explain 'those first few days'.
HMGP was trading ungodly shares at .018 -.02 with an os that made the MC under $3/4M. It was clearly buying time, no matter who was selling them. IMO, they were naked shorts by MMs who just didn't realize HMGP was 'not your typically, debt-ladden, asset poor, company'.
Personally, I believe 300K of my pre- and .02 shares were all NNS. Thank you MMs. ;-) (still got 'em all and more...in cert form now) LOLOL!!!
