spice, I understand and agree-it does seem suspicious-but the company cannot just go silent because they are afraid of some dirtbag manipulators. These are bottom feeders.People on my level cannot imagine that the market is loaded with investors with millions and millions of dollars who won't blink at paying $2.00-$3.00 for millions of shares for a gem, start-up company. In fact, they would probably try to push it even higher. Then these bottom feeders can find another .000 stock to jockey around.
