Correct, Pulley. This is a casino. Believe it or not, add up all the trades made during a day, and on average, a stock is only held for 11 seconds!
Imagine all those poor penny/pinkie/graymarket schmuckholders, hanging onto their POS for months or years, as the price deflates like a refried-bean burrito soufflé.
But I'm not going to give them advice on penny-scams, because they're all suffering from a variation of the New Owner, No Sense of Humor syndrome, experienced by anyone who buys a Hybrid car, top-end iPad, McMansion, or anything from the Hammacher-Schlemmer catalog.
