Crickets chirping here. It'll be the same as long as we're a stock with a story and no happy ending. .15 a share, .30 a share, .09 a share.... You tell me why, on a day to day basis, the stock has been priced the way it has over the past 6 years. Manipulation here? No doubt about it.

No doubt as well it will continue until HDC announces what we all believe they will announce and why we bought the friggin' stock in the first place. In 6 years, I've seen nothing substantial to make me doubt my initial investment.

Barnhill has his money and his scientific and entrepreneurial reputation already established. IMO, he's working toward something much bigger and more revolutionary than a successful test or JV. I've been here for 6 years so I understand the frustration of many on the board, but personally, I'm not offended as a shareholder because Barnhill has always been consistent in how he communicates (or doesn't) with the world. It'll happen his way in his time.

Until that time, we keep chirping.

Like I said, people got to get paid. Market makers, contrary to popular belief, are people too. They don’t make money by selling $150 worth of stock at the bid. The price of a stock is controlled by the order stream. There is maneuvering room provided the MMs by dolts who place market orders. If there is an overabundance of sellers in the queue the price will go down. If there is an overabundance of buyers in the queue the price will go up. And MMs selling $150 worth of stock at the bid are not going to stop it from going up. If all buyers and sellers only placed limit orders, the MMs would not have any control.

What amuses me is that people who whine about the MMs screwing them don’t have the sense to pull out of what they believe is a rigged game.
