rockie,

Though you may be an experienced trader, the market that WMIH trades is OTCQB and there are only "Unsolicited Quotations". The price on B/A is not driven by market conditions, see below. This is obviously not where the BOD would want WMIH trading, as they stated previously. Take advantage of low pricing and get more if you feel it justified but this is not the place to be to flip shares based on changing market conditions or technicals. All IMHO of course...

Unsolicited Quotations

When you see the word “unsolicited” as part of a stock quotation page on a website such as the Pink Sheets (marked as “unsolicited”) or OTC Bulletin Board (marked as “U”), you should be aware that the quote is not necessarily a market maker’s own quotation reflecting a price based on market conditions or current information about the company being quoted. Instead, it is a quotation that a market maker posts to reflect an unsolicited order by a customer. So, if you and anyone calls his or her broker, or places an on-line order for the stock – without the broker’s promotion of the stock to that individual – that order would be posted at the customer’s own designated price and marked as an “unsolicited” quotation. It is important to be aware that the individual placing such an order may not be relying on current information about the company – which is vitally important before making an informed investment decision. The individual may unwittingly be relying on bogus pricing and false promotional information from spam email or faxes. Worse yet the individual placing the order – while appearing as an unsolicited member of the general public – may actually be in league with the fraudsters. That’s frequently how the fraudsters get the public market started out of the blue, and how they are able to generate the appearance of investor interest and trading volume. So when you see the word “unsolicited” in reference to the quotation’s status, you should be cautious and find out whether there is current information about the company before you buy or sell the stock.
