The MMs by driving the price down big time,then they are forcing the little company to dilute at ridiculous prices to pay their bills. The above words are yours. Explain how a descending stock price "forces" a little company to "dilute" at "ridiculous" prices to "pay their bills." LPS5

Taki, The MMs by driving the price down big time,then they are forcing the little company to dilute at ridiculous prices to pay their bills. I would like an explanation of this comment also. Are you insinuating that a company is in a better position to run it's day to day operations because of the price of it's stock? If so, it is not a fundamentally sound company. I also believe the trading range of a companies stock can be maniped. I simply don't believe the MM's are doing the maniping. Please explain your post in detail. Have fun, Phil
