The theory is the mms lure people in, short a stock, and then drop it to scare people out. I have had CEOs tell me they use promoters to create enough buying power to shake mm shorters out. I think there is some merit to the theory. The concern always is: is the company giving up too many shares? I talked to OGPS IR (dd to many LOL) and I think it might be legit. They bought some software companies to develop gaming programs, which are now up. I do think it is unorthodox to use gaming to finance a tech venture, but maybe it is possible? The question I have is: are they really able to produce an APS chip? I have not gotten an idea how long it would take to develop. Financing is needed before they can begin is what I understand. I have owned OGPS shares. I don't now. I may again. I do not now if they are legit or con artists. Hard to know without doing serious dd, which is not common, people trade and move on. Sometimes I do major background checks etc, but in this case I have not.
