Don't you think it might be dangerous over the weekend in case barrons goes on one of the tirades?

Hi, Jim-- I believe I saw the same thing you did. Blatant manipulation of the stock's price through psychological means. I was surprised to hear that the early spike up was real...I had assumed that that was a technical glitch. I may be naive, but I have to ask this: I know that MM's are given a lot of leeway, but that move seemed to be way over the line. Aren't MM's accountable to anybody? I noticed that during the day, the low was posted as 1/2 at one point, and 1/8 at another...only to be "corrected" to .62 later. Looks like our friendly MM is trying to cover his tracks. I really doubt that BAAT is the first stock to get manhandled in this manner. But can the SEC really do anything about it? Tomorrow should be interesting. Cheers! Rick
