Simply put there is one thing that proves the float is tiny.....The way it trades. PERIOD.

You don't get a run of a 1000% run from .009 to .09 on under 2 million traded unless the float is TINY.

Not true. If a large block of the OS is held by one person then what you describe is simple to manufacture with a little manipulation, and one person controlling a huge percentage of the OS is exactly what happens following a 100:1 R/S.

A 100:1 R/S occurred a couple weeks ago. The AS stayed at 500 million while the OS decreased by a factor of 100. There is only one reason to R/S: so the company can sell and/or issue new stock...

But don't take my word for it, just look at the trading history since the R/S on Aug 24 (pasted below). It isn't physically possible for that jacked-up volume to be coming from retail - there weren't this many shares left in the hands of retail following the R/S. This volume can only be freshly-printed stock issued by the company post-R/S. Was anyone holding warrants or options that converted immediately when the R/S occurred? The data below demonstrates textbook manipulation: a wash-trading effort last Friday that created the initial "run", meant to attract as many speculators as possible to absorb the dump which began in earnest today).

If there is proof that the float is 5 million than this will run.

Math shouldn't be your enemy here... Since the AS has been 500 million since 2008 and wasn't adjusted by the R/S, it's not physically possible for the float to be 5 million following a 100:1 reverse-split... An equity's "float" is the amount of free-trading stock available for sale (OS minus restricted equals float), so for the float to be 5 mill that would mean that no restricted stock exists.

Here's my guess: the OS was maxed-out at 500 million so they R/S 100:1, bringing the OS down to 5 million (for maybe an hour or two). That R/S immediately triggered the conversion of warrants/options still held by "investors" of the shell pre-merger. Such warrants/options weren't affected by the 100:1 split ratio so we're probably talking millions upon millions of new shares issued to these insiders last week while existing retail shareholders had their holdings reduced by a factor of 100. The only meaningful supply of shares available for sale to the newbs attracted by the manipulated run-up would have to come from those insiders. When the supply of newbs buying their stock dried up the PPS couldn't maintain it's artificially-inflated price for more than a couple hours.


P.S. If the OS is more than 5 million (and that's what you're suggesting when you say the float alone is 5 million) then that proves they began issuing new stock immediately following the R/S.

P.P.S. I just noticed Pinksheets says the OS is 603,784 as of Aug 25. That would make the pre-split OS 60,378,400. 4.6 million shares issued last week (an 800% increase)?
