Problems with understanding what's going on? Maybe you are asking why this stock is moving so strangely? There was the dividend anouncement recently, there are good fundamentals and there is a winner story behind it. Nevertheless, the stock seems to be trapped and headed lower. Besides the general weakness of small caps, there is simply no market for TGSK. Everybody here is not more than a mosquito between the small number of marketmakers. TGSK is not visible to a large number of investors or to the public. How should a normal investor ever discover TGSK between several thousands of stocks? The only chance are newsletters, discussion boards and recommendations. Before this did not take place, fundamentals have little chance to cause any effect. For a continous rise of the stock price, there is the need for an establishment of market forces. These market forces in the moment are solely caused by the MM's. As long as this is the case, the price can go everywhere, it could go up to 10$ or it can be driven down even below 1$ again. Explanations for such a price movement can found afterwards. I am owning stocks with a great story, trading at multiples of 5, with good recommendations, with huge market caps, which are listed on the big stock exchanges, but which are performing badly. Also these stocks are not apparent to the public. What can you do? You have to wait! Maybe several years until a stock becomes apparent to the public. Or, you have to play the game of the MM's. As far as I understood the culture on this board I expect to be offended and insulted because of this post again. Nevertheless you should think about it. Regards Ralph
