Volks57: I am afraid the answer is no, it will not.
I was of the same mind and decided to test it.
I placed orders to buy and did purchase several
hundred thousand shares and saw no movement,
I was given my answer when a member posted,
that while someone ( me ) was keeping the stock
up while buying, someone else who got the shares
at a discount ( some as low as .005) was selling.
I immediately took my last order off which was for
180,000 shares, to see what would happen and low
and behold, he was right as the volume dropped.
sales were in the low teens after and remained so
until today when it has moved a little.
There is a saying, that there is a sucker born every minute.
I was fooled again, and again I guess I am that sucker, for
I have been fooled more than once.
