Your post seems to indicate some real shenanigans by the market makers but what most people don't realize especially with BB stocks is that numbers aren't always what they seem I know a hedge fund that buys blocks of BB stocks on a frequent basis and people that post to say this stock's thread don't always realize that the float has increased dramatically..... They might buy 300K shares at 3/8's when the stock is trading at 3/4's (depending on volume)....the company might be desperate for $ and so they sell blocks below the market..I'm not sure how these figures are computed........How about when a firm that is NOT making a market in a stock but say they have 500k shares and they are selling how is that computed?? BB trading gets very tricky..
