ETPI buying opportunity today. Dropped 50% yesterday in huge selloff, including 100,000 share block at $0.15. Rumored to be primarily the work of a former consultant to the company (Scoggins) who was in a contract dispute with the company. Large block sales overwhelmed the buys during a 10-15 minute period (look at yesterday's chart). Bid dropped as low at $0.13, then buys starting coming in and finished at $0.18 x $0.19 (started the day at $0.28 x $0.37). Book value is $0.28 (ETPI is fully reporting and profitable, look up book value in last qtrly report). No reason or news for selloff, all happened within 15 minutes (between 3:40 and 3:55), then buys came in. Selloff is healthy for the company, should remove that much more downward pressure on the stock. This was pure stock manipulation, but presents an opportunity to profit on the rebound. PR group (GFC Communications/Jeff Plank) and the company will probably be taking action today to get the price back up. Should be interesting. Gator
