i've learned it's wiser for folks to observe aspects directly
because i don't know what trades are actual buys vs what i call resets

this is why anyone who buys or sells IPIX can take their respective
time stamp/s and see how that trade/s is/are *handled*

or each investor with interest can just spend some time
to see what is done re: ask and bid sizes in *correlation*
with those trades done (tape) that never change (NC) B/A sizes
or the always telling under cut (UC) on the ask with a 1000 size
that engenders 50,000 in *volume* for X MM .. that is then
*not* reported to FINRA .. rather the 1000 is reported
(aka VERT's last round at the rodeo in April 2017)

always telling to see MMs' who are elastic on both bid and ask ..

elastic is my term for abusive

meaning X MM will *show* X size and then what i see
are *resets* being done via NR (non retail) via both bid
and ask .. and because there is zero RT transparency
on OTC stox (besides the daily reg sho %s) .. retail has
to wait out for what the MMs' report to Finra for the MM
Monthly Volume *actually* done (vs those decoys sent
out to *deflect* .. aka block/stall or do volume to *imo*
be fed to another MM) .. and of course legal reported

my take remains that the last round done in April and early May 2017
(set up to reset 52 week low on CTIX/IPIX) was an epic fail for NR
and i base that on what daily reg sho %s revealed over week/s
(higher % marked) vs what was able to be shown %wise b4 that

imo NR has done 2 sets of *volume* approx 3M per to roll resets
over very specific times since May 2017 .. from one NR entity to another
(imo resets the clock re: FTDs) which is why it's been zero surprise to me
to see IPIX's *legal* (again reported by self regulating/self reporting entities
and not in RT) morph upwards .. since the EO April

my belief is that this PPS range (90c to 1.00) presents a problem for those
who do manipulate OTC targets

but that imo pales at the true price range dilemma en route to NR .. clearly
coming in due course with mgmt's execution (that 1.30 to 1.50/1.60 range)

suspect *if able* to control outcome .. NR will do what i call a partially laddered
cover UP on IPIX (imo control on NRs' part is a big if with an aware and savvy
OTC mgmt team) .. this is actually being done currently on one of my other
OTC investments .. which like most *imo* OTC SURVIVORs has a deep
*abusive* hole also in place

this partially laddered cover can be stretched out for a long time .. at the time
i was totally clueless .. but in Jan 2006 until uplisting to the NAZ in Jan 2007
FRPT (company was force protection subsequently bought out by GD)
had a partially laddered cover of approx 50c to about 28.00 done over 12 mos

this is *imo* where a stock is taken up a % higher than it is reset back .. cycle
is almost always to take higher .. over weeks/months

this *keeps* liquidity in place and encourages retails' trading for obvious reasons

so a 50c stock would go up say 15c .. and then be reset back only 10c
and so it would go for 12 months ..

to me this is all about NRs' abilities to control outcomes on their terms

what is nice *imo* are those companies on the OTC who can disrupt NRs' outcomes
due to mgmts' abilities to execute .. this is why (just me perhaps) .. i can see
a compressed sequence of material events out of mgmt .. that very easily
could include a partnership .. a special one time cash div allocated .. and ability to uplist almost immediately

that will bring significant financial pain *imo* to those who've clearly manipulated IPIX (CTIX) since last significant cycle UP of Dec 2014

Very informative, 4kids. Did you notice if all of those supposed "asks" disappeared when someone actually bought?
