Or if one "were" trying to "pump the stock", one might have the stockholders include such as Citi, Oppenheimer, MorganStanley, some DFA Funds, several Fidelity Funds, John Hancock Funds as shown in the Yahoo Finance info below. Of course, if one had the power to arrange this set of affairs, "pumping" would likely not be on one's list of "need to do's today".

Well, if the OP is sincere, he needs to learn how to frame the posts here so they don't look like 'pump/dump'. Like some real info, rather than 'what do you guys think of this xyz stock' - it just comes across as very 'yahoo-ish'.

But my personal advice stands. Share price is not a good indicator of future gains. Diversify. Use 'play' money if you must.

ERD50, Thanks for your responses and recommendation on index funds. I am not trying to pump this stock in any way. check my previous post. I posted this same question on the yahoo finance forum, and what i placed here was a reply that i recieved from another user. Again, thanks for your help

Why not just mail me the money instead of putting into penny stocks? At least one of us will make a profit!
