Trading Summary - February 28. Excellent progr
Post# of 4419
Excellent progress today for $EVSV with it being made obvious to the observant that those attempting to put up a fake ask (by which I mean they don't really want to lose it) at artificially low points - combined with paint downs and nonsense posts on iHub - in attempts to dupe people to sell to them on the bid - won't win . They are up against a group of top traders who now control the majority of cheap shares and are happy to bid for more and occasionally give those attempting illegal manipulation "a bloody nose" and take their shares if they put up lowered asks that impede upward progress.
Furthermore, those same top traders will ensure they don't get a chance to get back in at the same price they had previously by outbidding them.
Despite most top traders being busy elsewhere on multiple runners, enough attention was paid to $EVSV to make the above points.
Most of the $EVSV action was recorded contemporaneously in earlier posts but here some of the the highlights:
- Paint downs were ineffective - duping nobody.
- At least one of the large bidders - who was top of the visible, in-depth pile in the .3500 to .3900 range - moved up to .4400.
- With no significant fills on the bid, when the moron who previously had undercut the ask at .5100 / .5000 moved down to .4600, exploratory buys of 397 and 2500 were made. When the remainder of the suspect fake ask was not cancelled, buys of another 203 and 6,400 were made.
- The manipulator, having now already lost 9,500 of his cheap shares retreated with the remaining 4,481 to .5000.
- He appeared to have learnt his lesson as - when hit in the closing minutes for just 200 on the ask at .5000 - he cancelled the remainder before it was lost.
- Next up was a previously seen fake undercut .5100 via 2 x MMs. After being hit for only 2 x 100, the remainder was again cancelled before it was lost.
- Next up was .5500 - again recognized as one of the artificially low undercuts put up after the .5985 were started a few days ago. It too was immediately cancelled.
- .5799 was next up in the closing seconds.
Overall, another 18,050 shares were bought today - volume up 80% on yesterday due to the bargains available from the moron who put up the .4600s. Of these, 11,500 were in the .4600 to .4999 range and 950 were in the .5000 > .5999 range - the remainder being paint downs at .4400 / .4000.
Items below the line unchanged from previous report and still valid [important points emphasized in bold]:
The DD/ Rolling Brief was updated on February 24, 2019 along with the analysis of the % of the low O/S controlled by traders at the bottom levels.

Expect continued loading by stealth - with a mixture of hidden bids, visible large bids and ask hits - until the main traders in this are ready to move it up a bound or so - above .6000 initially.
Don't expect any significant amount to be offered under .6000 as it is not unreasonable to expect to see $1 to $2 at some point in 2019 based on the thin share structure, the majority of shares being in the hands of savvy traders, and multiple catalysts ahead such as the 2018 Annual Report, additional pest control and DoD infrastructure contracts and the startup up of the hemp "fast cash earning" operation.
iHub will continue to be rendered irrelevant to the trading of EVSV with top traders networking by other means now and most being #boycottiHub.
The serious traders in $EVSV - with the exception of long / fellow continuous trader "tutankhamans" - are still mostly #boycott iHub for most of the day at the present as we're too busy making money elsewhere.
Most of the main traders in the OTC - including me - are too busy to be bothered jockeying for position with the manipulators. We already have our core .4000s (or equivalent .0002s from January 14) and don't need to prioritize time on $EVSV until deciding to take out everything under 1.0000 when a suitable opportunity arises.
There is still very little in asks under .6000 and $EVSV should be extremely thin to 1.000+. Note how correct this has turned out to be !
Any one of the significant traders in $EVSV could move it to 1.000 single handed if they chose to. I might do it myself just to deny the cheap shares to the basher / manipulators on a day that is relatively inactive on my other top picks.
Overall, $EVSV continues to play out exactly as I expected and suggested it would for those following my proven "trading through a r/s" strategy. It is maintaining the pre-r/s par of .0002 / .4000.
Ahead expect [new items in bold]:
- Continued manual and further automatic outbidding.
- Closing of the spread and / or hitting the ask across a wide spread when an artificially low fake ask is seen .
- More hits on the ask from those that failed to load .0002/3/4 [.4000 > .8000] on January 14 before the r/s and who only have .0005 [1.000] and above.
- More bids at higher levels in the .4600 to .5500 range if they prove successful in weeding out a few impatient people and / or iHubbers.
