IMO buying on a lower bid thwarts would be ask stacking sellers. It forces people to part with shares at a lower price and also eats away at shares that would be put up at the stacked ask price. The more shares are taken away by longs at the lower bid price, the less the ask will be stacked later. If someone like me buys, for instance I won't sell for even 1.5 cents, etc. So those shares won't be put up again. When Fox Business airs, we may just see a few people wanting shares. Gosh, I would hate to be on the sidelines right now.
