ON these thin stocks, try something like this - Let's assume we have 2.30 bid, 2.40 ask. One way to get more when selling might be to do an ask in between, maybe 2.38 if you are willing to wait, or 2.32 if you want a little quicker response. The other way (I have not tried this much) is to put out a chunk at 2.44. Start relatively early in the day. The idea being that the market maker sees this, then walks the stock up to 2.60, picking up your chunk at 2.44 and then selling it to some one at 2.52 or 2.56. Now offer another chunk at 2.54. The market maker may be able to walk the stock up some more.... Upward movement attracts buyers. Basically, you are inventory to the market maker, and if they can move the price around to where they can make money moving your inventory, they will do so.

<<they are very difficult to accumulate, as if controlled by market makers .....and very difficult to get out of>>, << The company's clam to fme is that it only lost 50% of shareholder equity over the past 4 years.,>> Sounds like my kinda stuff. <<The nano-second my buy or sell orders are executed, the 'market' price drops or rises, respectively, as if there is a counterparty breathing a sigh of relief and carrying on with a schema before I intervened. I am not sure how the whole f__king queue is manipulated, but I am sure it is manipulated, for I feel it.>> Jack, just how much do you trust this reflexologist? perhaps he's involved . it wouldn't be the first time this sorta thing happened.Who know's how many he has put into these things,or what his agenda is.

>>>as in large buyers cannot get a fill unless at successively higher prices, and large sellers cannot get a fill except at sucessively lower prices, even though I am watching the real time queue, knowing full well that some how someone knows exactly what I am doing by the nano-second. <<< Such fears do not instill a sense of confidence among those unfamiliar with these markets despite recently taking a rather large bite.. even though i fear i am a bit early to the party and paid excessively for good seating. nonetheless, as facetious as I could be, perhaps a wee bit off the mark... of anyone whose track record I must sit back and admire, erstwhile avoiding portfolio envy... you must indeed qualify.... so... please do not feel insulted, as i have been out of the loop for quite sometime attending to all manner scientific frivolity--- selling snake oil to the masses with promise of bigger more and happier everything.... But as often is the case, an annual pilgrimage to the land of the barefootchainsmokingcellphonetalking polluted home of the 2008 olympiad rendered me thinking about the hakka chinese trader dood.... so i thought I'd pop in, sit for a spell and try to absorb, and otherwise contribute a wee bit of perspective... cheers
