again there are ironies and then there are ironies

i don't think the SEC ever gave a damn about the OTC
imo it was the playground for the old boys' network of CEs (colluding entities)
and for the most part was fungible .. but what was interesting (after 2008)
was that the SEC tasked Finra to develop a platform allowing for daily reg sho
to be noted .. and I have to give Finra kudos on their platform .. it's retail and
user friendly .. which is the exact opposite of the SEC's *design* .. and it put paid
.. to almost a decade of one of the most notorious *crews* working the vehicle
of choice for OTC stock manipulation .. *claims* .. that no OTC stock was ever
shorted .. *legally* .. forget the alternative (abusively) .. which had been crews'
mantra for a decade ..
the hidden trades .. are only of interest to me % wise .. when NR has few bolt holes available as is their issue on IPIX (MM Monthly also worth bookmarking)
and digesting .. case in point Friday 7.19.19

here's a copy of a PM I just sent to another investor .. it may help some .. it may confuse others .. but imo NR is up the proverbial creek .. sans paddle and is desperate for IPIX *shares*
============================
I am thinking that news would be issued AH's on a Friday .. allowing for AI to do their thing specific
to GTCs .. (this is where it gets interesting imo because depending on the news .. folks may well pull
their GTCs over the weekend .. and wait for Monday's open to reset them .. remember firms like Fido
limit GTCs on IPIX to 2.00) .. I think I have one GTC set @ 2.00 between 2 accts .. for either 500 or 1000 shares .. depending on what the news is I will absolutely pull that GTC .. if IPIX opens above $2.00 .. I can then set (ladder) GTCs on IPIX .. which depending on the news .. I will do all the way up to $60.00
NR is clearly going for the exhaustion factor here .. and I have no doubts there will be some more recent in play.. that will sell out .. but I suspect those LT investors .. comfortable with their DD .. will wait to see how IPIX is handled .. this is why (and as odd as it first sounds) .. you learn that NR has failed when *volume* diminishes
It's why *some* et al worked so hard last Fall .. when NR was pumping thru bogus volume and IP was getting blamed .. it was a set up (and it's almost always timed to EOY tax loss selling mantras by NR crews) .. IF IP
pays attn to the timing en route (from now thru Sept) .. and it may be no coincidence that the last PR out is
from 6 weeks ago .. it's quite possible that the sequence of material events filed/PR'd by IP going forward ..
never allows NR the opportunity to *reset* back significantly
It's only with hindsight we'll know (suspect) what NR learned and when they learned it ..
I come back to the proof we all have on offer .. from 9.07.18 to 12.31.18 (volume and a 52 week high reset
to 5805c and a 52 week low reset to 7c) .. so something was gleaned for that round .. (and as i noted contemporaneously .. imo it was one hell of a wicked gamble NR was undertaking) .. imo it failed spectacularly
then of course the total change out (spigot turned off) re: NRs' marking DRS %s (from March 1 into early May 2019)
this was significant because up to that point .. NR had marked a *mix* of %s on IPIX .. but not during that 2 months .. %s' marked were off the charts .. mostly in the 60% to 70% range
then we had NRs' orchestrated take up on IPIX on *volume* in May 2019 .. clearly done by NR to negate
the news of 5.16.19 .. again watching that first round of volume and PPS take up to approx 43c .. NR almost lost control .. I suspect news out of IPIX brings record shattering volume ..
( remember NR set a record on 5.16.19 @ 4.4M~ but it had been washed in advance pre *record* ) .. conservatively that volume could be 10M-15M .. depending on content of deal .. it could equally be 50M to 100M in volume that gets done that day
A few weeks ago .. our bipolar NR seemed to dither .. as to whether to do another orchestrated mini take up on IPIX or tank the PPS .. about a week and a half ago .. I noted that IPIX was showing Nite @ 15c on bid ( everyone
should try and track where CDEL/ETRF/NITE are placed ) .. earlier last week .. Nite was @ 11c on the bid .. I think
that was the day I noted the PPS on 4.26.19 (another change out .. only far less obvious because it pertained to the hidden trade %s NR and Brokerage firms do) .. well we all got to see NRs' intent this last week ..
Note the *alignment* of NRs' amped efforts of both March 2019 .. Ihang infestation .. and their efforts this past week
As I noted privately .. LE's habit of chatting with *presumed* investors .. makes it difficult to call out a new *alias*
who is posting about alleged conversations with LE ... we can all see the mileage those *conversations* can get
Lastly .. and to your question .. as difficult as this is to digest (and it took me a few years of documentation to learn) .. NR never covers one second b4 being forced to do so .. and even then it's a reset on the ladder up .. Not covering in advance defies retails' logic and common sense .. which is why it's so hard to understand .. but remember .. just this year .. MICA (MM) and Scott Reynolds .. on BPTH (which had at the time an I/O .. which is
not the Float which is freely traded) had a massive *short* on BPTH which at the time had like 600000 (600k not 6M)
as an I/O .. that is why BPTH had the spike (run to cover .. tho' i call it the run to reset) .. seen below

Note that the company then *diluted* .. but I/O still remains enviable .. this is why the closest I could find to comp IPIX against (I/O wise) was AMRN .. whose spike took 2 months to achieve (last November @ 23~)
which NR just reset earlier this month .. and you could see the gyrations NR went thru in advance of that news being issued from my post on Ihang

IMO depending on the news out of IP .. IPIX may well get a premium to what was done with AMRN .. because IPIX's I/O is significantly less (202M vs 330M) .. but make no mistake .. imo NR will handle on their terms .. they worked AMRN the entire month plus pre *news* .. (AH's 9.21.18) news came out .. NR then took 6 or so more weeks to reset 52 week high to 23~

and just so you know Pete .. NR doesn't give a damn about the damage done
to companies .. their science or tech .. their investors ..
as I discussed with yet another LT IP investor .. I hope I live long enough to see
true real time (RT) transparency (Tzero) in my lifetime re: U.S equities
I actually believe the SEC is totally complicit .. and fully understands that if Tzero
was implemented sans *grandfathering efforts yet again deployed* .. the entire
mkt would implode .. because imo what used to be the sole province *mostly* of
the OTC has now morphed upward over the last decade or two .. and the reason
why this matters .. is because when one is desensitized .. day in and year out ..
one tends to never *invest* .. just try to time .. and odds are with an un-level
playing field in place .. the house (NR) will always win ..
i will reiterate the obvious .. the majority of OTC targets do not outlast let alone survive
this is why when NR is significantly upside down on an OTC target .. whose
investors far outweigh the alternative .. NR has to shake and shake hard ..
that is why EOY 2019's *gamble* came as no surprise .. and I still maintain
that whatever NR *gleaned* in early 2019 (imo February) was why pattern
change out of March 1 kicked in .. which led to May 2019's efforts
It won't surprise me if NR does another orchestrated take up on IPIX (again
imo NR knows what is en route .. just not the timing of) .. remember
i showed the *movement* of decoy LAFC on the ask this past week .. place marked
@ 37c .. since May's orchestration .. now @ 22c .. imo if inclined .. another
run on IPIX .. could be to 37c to 45c .. new line in the sand seems to be 40c
but notice too .. NR has to mark DRS %s .. and this most recent pattern seems
to be *tracking* early March 2019's pattern ..

btw .. just because I know what gets done and imo why .. doesn't make it easier
to watch .. but imo documentation helps to take out the emotional component
because it reveals NRs' desperation in total .. if NR weren't so upside down on
IPIX .. NR would be working cycles of money on IPIX daily .. with Millions in volume done
they can't and they don't

Other than a few folks like you, who keeps up with "hidden" trades? If FINRA cares so little about reported volume being so grossly overstated, why would they take the time to figure out hidden trades?
Does the apparent desperation the last week or so by NR make you feel something may be in the very near works (as opposed to Oct or so) in regards to some signings? Not expecting it, but this hard hitting operation by NR sure leads one to believe something has lit a fire beneath their bottoms.
Am preparing for price to possibly go to single digits due to the desperation seen by NR and, if that turns out true, will buy more.
Knowing NRs playbook makes these games with the SP easier to understand, though it still makes one shudder to see the damage they are doing for those poor souls who have no clue as to what is going on.
