i'd call PTOI's current YTD volume *on par* with 2017's (EO July)
so total *volume* done on PTOI since mid April 2009 to EO July 2018 (rough) is 228,438,261
but i break out cycles in play by NR .. so to keep it simple (even tho' RH got no honeymoon after infusing $Ms on 9.30.13 and *imo* NR relentlessly compressed PTOI from 35c .. then .. to 10c @ EO 2013) i split out time frames
NR and trading crews' working vehicle of choice *imo* .. re: cycles of money from 2009 to 2013 .. that *volume* = 128,670,080
that leaves the volume from 2014 to last month (PTOI held @ sub 10c .. most of the time PTOI held @ sub 5c) = 99,768,181
imo looking at an abusive short on PTOI measures in at approx 40M~ to 50M~
and what is interesting to me .. is that the biggest contributor of that *amount* came
from the first half of this *volume* (2009 - 2013) .. i usually use a calc of 20%
of the *volume* done >> based on what the tape of trades' *shows*
interestingly *imo* .. it's now more like 33% to 50%
this is from memory .. so i may be off a bit .. but the *trading* crew working PTOI from 2009 (UP) to the handoff to their counterparts (Jan 2010) >> DOWN << worked money cycles in 2009/2010/2011 (to this day record volume month on PTOI is April 2011) .. 2012 and then 2013 (who can forget the *illegally orchestrated run on PTOI in Jan 2013 .. stopped out @ $1.49 .. because of course *then* NRs' issues noted contemporaneously kicked in @ 1.50 - 1.65)
with that noted .. if mgmt can't *exploit* this asset due to their lack of *execution* and *articulation* (that brings in new investors) .. PTOI's abusive short won't matter
i have to reiterate .. imo 99% of all OTC targets (that came public via a R/M) close to a decade back .. will not *survive/outlast* the attn of NR and *trading crews* ..
P2O (as of Friday) remains an OTC Survivor ..
and clearly after trading crews' moved on (for the most part) .. folks have sold .. others have added .. and some have done neither
but what is always so telling about NR being upside down (i.e. not being able to part actual investors from their shares) is .. when *volume* decreases .. when NR is successful in parting investors from their *shares* .. *volume increases* >> at least long enough for NR to *handle* what needs to be *handled* <<
note the 36M (imo some wash traded efforts) of 2013/2014 on PTOI .. and then the volume cliff diving for each successive year .. 2015/2016/2017 .. not exactly how it works in OTC land with a relentlessly compressed price *triggering* retails' emotions
