I have been watching those numbers in the manner that you are. I also see areas on the chart where it looks like "dilution". But the TA and the filings don't show this.
I said in a previous post #110540 a comment of what you just posted......
"""""Monthly MM volume
yes the volume of October was much higher than September. Yeah.
NITE up 230% ETRF up 150% WORL up 450% VFIN stayed the same.""""""
So eventhough OTCBB tracking has the usual MM diluters with activity........I can't explain what is going on here.
So to answer your question "Do I believe the TA?". Well it is DD the best I can do with it. A Pink. The rhetorical question is "where do you find out? The unaudited filings?
