Today's close showed buying at the ask helped the
Post# of 72440
If someone set a buy order at 45 cents (52-week low), which is 25% lower than 60 cents, I consider it as lowball. I have no problem with people buying at the price they are comfortable with, whether it's higher, equal to, or lower than the 52-week low. But I have a problem whenever the stock is down, naked shorting must be the culprit, not supply vs. demand or any other factor.
When I feel strongly about something, I usually have something to back it up. That's why I read every financial report and study similar cases. To prove selling pressure by Aspire, I record the amount of shares sold to them since the beginning. To show they've been selling, I use the lack of Schedule 13G as evidence.
IMO it's no coincidence that the SP increased by 20% when Aspire had less to sell, if any, this week.

How is buying at the ask helping the stock price, when the market makers are determined to sell the stock at less than the ask?
