That doesn't strike me right either. If the company was diluting, they'd at least release financing or other news and perhaps hire a pumper (giving him shares) to generate publicity and get it to run first. Or, if they were diluting outright with no news or help, the price would go much lower due to the chronic weak bid. Who would buy it? I haven't called the TA and a lot of monkey biz can go on with that regardless, but still...I don't think it's the company selling. Not yet, anyway.
All we know for sure is this sudden volume is curious. It could just be a short-term anomaly and I don't blame you for being negative. There has been little to be positive about for nearly a year.
