There are 52,199,252 Drinks outstanding shares available for trading each and every day. Only about one tenth of one percent actually changes ownership daily. I know of no way to find out who is selling or buying. We can all see what MM is handling the trades but not who the seller and buyer is.
The news is not being prevented from reaching the investing public. You can bet if we know it, it is widely known. Especially in this day and age. Also, the investing public is not stupid. Just because someone says there is an investment opportunity don't make it true. Just this week, Drinks tied it's all time low. Was it correct to have bought months ago when we were being told the same things as now? Are not those investors that have not yet bought the really smart ones? In your and other's cases, you DESERVE to make more for the risks you are willing to take. Isn't that what we are told. The greater the risk, the greater the reward.
I don't know how to address your second paragraph. I reckon you are talking down to us plus you think there is some great fix in the trading of stocks.(from some of the news lately, you may be right :).
Third paragraph. No. I can't find out who is selling, as I stated before. Waiting to buy after the pps turns up is the sure sign that I DON'T know if it will turn up or not. If I knew it would go to $1.00, I would sell everything I own, borrow every dime I could, mortgage my home, and buy every share that I could buy. So would the rest of the investing world. Waiting for that turn up is just a way to minimize losses. All of us that have bought before Friday are in a losing position. Paying $.30 for it would mean something good had happpened and therefore some of the danger of losing had dissipated. All you have to see is a few that you averaged down on and averaged down on never stopped going down. All the way to worthless. An existing example is UWKI, although not worthless. Investors are losing fortunes. Drinks has the same record from 3/17/07 to now in it's pps. Investors that bought that day are down 94%. BTW, these investors that bought high are usually the ones selling in the present area. They give up and say the don't want to lose every dollar and want out. IOW, buying high and selling low.
You are totally correct about the 525%. So why aren't investors jumping on. They don't KNOW it's going to happen. They will have to see rising sales figures. Not PROJECTED rising sales figures. What's wrong with that? Isn't it actually prudent?
As to you last paragraph. You are exactly right. It does rest on where the company is going. Determining that is the question. Past history is one tool used in that determination. I hope there will be the tacking of zero's on everyone's investment. If it goes to higher levels, I will make plenty but I will not assume the risk of losing my intire investment. I do now consider you or anyone else stupid for doing it your way. Myself and the investing public are not stupid for doing it our way. It comes down to amount of risk one is willing to accept, IMO.
I really appreciate your post and I think these type discussions can be helpful to us all. I know I want to learn anything I can and really appreciate good posts.
