Def looked like profit takers along with a few panic sellers.

That is what I was interested in finding out, pre and post dilution market caps. As I stated in a previous post I saw this at .03 and didn't look much into it. Now I'm wanting to jump on but want to make sure I do my DD first and pick the right entry point. Just like everyone else I don't like to lose money.

that looked like a combination of 1. mm shorting the stock to keep the price in check. 2. panic selling once people saw that price dropping, and the news letter bashing helped that. 3. mm shorting and triggering stop losses.

all the above will contribute to a dip like you saw today. i've seen it all to often with OTC stocks. there's not enough volume, like the big board stocks, to prevent this sort of actions.

I’ve seen MM’s go through stop losses before…and it looks just like this. Shares are becoming scarce…and they need them. Another good indicator is the negative opinions from newsletters. The further north we go…the more they will come out. They got this down to a science. Fear of losing money works every time.
