quite a while ago, one of the best bits of advice i had ever heard on these boards was "learn to think like a market maker". for someone who is new to trading, this can be a tough mindset. it's a world of radical inversions, where the good PR is when the stock tanks, and where the rally begins 4 days later when all the weak retailers have been shaken out. it's where you sell when you're overjoyed, and buy when you're scared out of your wits.

once one gets in the mind of the MM and stays there, however, a lot of things start to make sense. it begins to become clearer when they are ready to push a stock, shake the tree, when they want to consolidate it, and when it's time for an outright explosion to the upside.

time will tell how hard this can run, pending a successful outcome of course, but i must say i've never seen any chart, in many years of trading, with a higher level of accumulation. this is the key for "flagpole" gap-and-run monsters. armed with enough cheap shares in their inventories, MMs will be able to push QASP on an unrelenting tear if the fundamentals warrant it.

sure, they'll shake it eventually, and probably pretty hard, but if they are stocked up on enough shares they bought at .024, you can bet they'll be in the mood to sell them to us at .25, .50, $1 or higher. all dean bradley has to do is make sure that's the fair market value. jmho.
