I was going to ask you if you knew it had reverse split. ALso when the bid drops that is not good either on no sells. Typically that means there is an inventory to sell and the MMs will take it futher down on no activity. Then when buying comes in they will sell based on the standing inventory they know is there to sell. Level II and 3 will teach you these little tricks of the trade. Now savy investors sell slowly at the mid point. Where inexperienced trade at the bid. Just watch the trading and when one drops on buying the MMs are typically going to make all they can. They will fill the asks and then drop it further to entice more buying and then drop the bid to see if the seller will chase it. This is typical because of the internet and inexperienced traders. See MMs if there is no inventory to sell will typically take it up ... but once they know they have a seller they start jocking the bid and ask. There are some excellent articles on the way MMs do their thing. :-) GB
