You are way to impatient. ELRA is not being diluted ( usually less than 500k in volume a day). You have to be patient to trade OTC. If it has a good story (non better than ELRA), a good share structure (again ELRA is near perfect) and the company is known to put out regular PRs (ELRA is), you will most likely be fine. But you can't truly day trade these penny stocks. One time I bought a stock for .09 and at one point it hit $20.00 (I bailed at $5.00). It took about a year for that to happen and it didn't have any where near what ELRA has. I always buy these darn stocks and almost immediately loose 20%, but ultimately win ( or at least win enough to make a living). Hang in there, but pick wisely.
