Pinks have notoriously been shorted to death at times. I was introduced to the process a long time ago on the first penny stock I got burned on. I don't want to get into it on the boards but it involved 100's of millions of shares that did not turn up on any report- I got an expensive education. If a company relies on selling shares to stay in business the shorts own them on the pinksheet exchange. I kept the faith in EESO only because Jared said at 8 million in revenue EESO could turn a profit knowing that he would not be relying on shares in 2009. So, far that assumption has served me very well. I think it will make everyone here very profitable going forward too!
