Usually if I need shares I buy at the ask yes it will move the stock up If the MMs are not hiding a block of shares. But as the ASK moves up so should the BID but if people or mms want to keep it down Or buy cheaper the Bid will stay lower(usually a LOT LOWER)I have put a Bid in one notch bellow the ASK and follow it up. That way if someone did sale at bid it would only drop one notch. Unless MMs want it down and fill my order to drop the bid to their price. I hope I haven't made you SCRATCH MORE. LOL I am not a guru but you have been here a long time with some of us and you KNOW how this stock has been played with. I believe our time to PLAY is near. As soon as rev positive and a contract signed this should RUN and RUN HARD. Shares going to strong hands. Supply and Demand has always been a great way to set price. We have the supply all we need now is DEMAND! AIMO GLTAL and HAVE A SAFE AND FUN DAY ALL!!!
