if PTOI didn't have an aggregate abusive position in place since 2009 .. i would agree with your comments in total

the issue is NN is actually shorting (and then diluting reg sho) of legit sells
(to say nothing of also diluting via duplicate trades >> legit buys)

while i always ask for time stamps (either side) .. many times i get the info after
i've posted out the tape of *trades* for the day .. almost without exception
when there is a legit 10k block on the ask .. one of two events consistently occur

first is it's doubled (10k becomes 20k) i call these *air* shares
second is if legit sell is actually sold >> it's sold second .. even tho' it may well have
been a GTC in place for months

there is a third .. which i've just become aware of >> see below

this is how the *colluding entities* that are utilizing NN and decoys can *stall* and why
i've posted they can almost always outlast a clueless retail (it's a stacked deck)

most recent example that comes to mind (3rd example)
