Market makers play games with this one ... guess that's the big problem with BB stocks. Company is currently working with auditors to become fully reporting. Perhaps that will help the situation, don't know. All I know is that there was a buy at .43 - and they lowered the ask on the buy to .42. I would be really ticked off had I bought a big chunk at the high, and they then lower the bid. However - if this thing is going to $1 and beyond and the buyer is a long term investor, doubt it will bother him/her too much. I am in this for at least another year - and probably will still hold a big chunk thereafter (unless there are changes in the fundamentals).

SW ... notice the market makers playing games. Buy comes in at .43 - they lower ask to .42. Sell comes in at .40 - they lower the ask to .40. No trades come through and they lower the ask to .36. Typical. Trying to scare up some shares. This has been the pattern for TSIS. Then the market makers get some people selling shares on the cheap in fear of a sell off, and the price then goes back up. This is criminal - can't believe they get away with it.
