When it comes to profiting from trading in public companies no entity is more adept than a floor trader or a MM ... the retail investor rarely comes out on top. Though it can happen ... with patience. At times I've had success in filling OTCBB Buy orders at the inside Bid (or close to it) ... depends on circumstances. The MMs watch order flow bias (Buys versus Sells) very closely and act accordingly in filling orders. Nothing "fishy" ... just business as usual ... with the retail investor more often than not getting the short end of the stick. The best defense against MM profiteering tactics is research (DD) ... isolate and invest in a company such as GBLL ... a company with acceptable fundamentals (for an OTCBB company) and a realistic business plan ... a company with the potential to generate a significant short-term/long-term ROI. At least that way if one is forced to buy at the Ask there's still plenty of potential for profit. Trying to beat the MMs at their own game is far more often than not an exercise in futility. I can't speak for others here but, personally, I don't invest on the basis of "hype". And I see none here. My DD tells me that an investment in GBLL offers a very real and very substantial opportunity to profit. We've already seen a run/spike to $0.07 on the basis of company intent ... and I for one am anticipating far greater results upon follow-through. On a fundamental basis GBLL is a fairly typical OTCBB startup (though better than most of its ilk) and should management succeed in achieving any/all of the following parts of the business plan ... 1 ... releasing the anticipated foreclosure tracking software, 2 ... negotiate highly favorable "distribution and sales rights", 3 ... quickly develop a market/generate sales, 4 ... succeed in setting up the aforementioned "investment division to track commercial foreclosure and bankruptcies", 5 ... successfully "bid on properties that it feels are a good opportunity for corporate profit and or long term holdings", 6 ... achieve follow-through with respect to the aforementioned "anxious group of investors that are waiting to assist the company in acquiring these properties" ... ... an investment in GBLL will put smiles on a lot of faces. Not many OTCBB companies achieve long-term success ... will GBLL succeed where others have failed? We're about to find out. Patience often pays. Best of luck to you and I and all others. P.S., Are the prognostications of soon-to-be trading levels of $0.20 to $0.50 a little too rich? Not in my book ... not if the software is well-received, etc.. Remember, we saw a run/spike to $0.70 on the basis of intent ... follow-through is a huge step up on intent. Wouldn't you agree?
