I have been commenting on the wierd trading for awhile none of us could afford to pay fees for these 100 share trades going in .0001 increments.

The larger the order you have to sell or buy as a limit order the further you have to get from the bid or ask shown, or your order probably wont fill / not completely fill, so this can cost you some money.

Seems for awhile the MMs were moving the PPS up or down to capture large orders below the bid or higher than the ask, but more so going down to grab large low ask orders. Robotrading seems more prevelant now. Level II has been getting to the point where it is meaningless for this stock. I went to check some of the other stocks I hold and the Lev II was running much closer and accurately to the current trading. You could actually see the share amounts shown changing at the same time with purchaces, sales and time numbers in the adjacent column.

Are we held here and why????????????

I don't know about the .40 thing but seems like someone (no matter what the daily volume is 100K to 2M) can control the price. Price pressure must be occuring from rising gold prices but our no news situation (our saga) has not changed, so there is not enough catalyst from POG (yet) to bring higher SP by itself.

.46 cents on volume is where share price control would be lost IMO, so .40 to .45 could be someones buffer time zone to regain price control if some renegade outsiders decide to jump on.

Investors that bought when we were in the teens are long gone for the most part, nobody is waiting to sell between .41 and .46, so any selling you would see there is to try to control the price. Seen this more than a few times- When large buys happen above the shown ask price usually a 100-500 share sale brings it back down below the shown bid price very quickly.
