Yesterday was interesting in that the initial substantial trade price was $.05 and then we saw several very small $20 or $30 dollar total trades aimed at bringing the share price down before it might rise above the $.05 level. But seriously, how are we to interpret the intent of people who use a series of tiny trades that aren't even worth doing from a financial profit perspective in order to suppress sale price? Can we say "criminal price suppression"?
