RE: Real question is... Well your post certainly indicates one way of looking at things. But how about this, perhaps an investor sees AOS @ $0.07/share and decides they want in at that price. Perhaps they buy, but don't commit to what they see as their full position in AOS. In other words, they are going to accumulate in 2 or 3 increments. Now the stock becomes available at $ 0.055/share - which represents about a 21 % discount to what you paid at 7 cents. If you liked it at 7 cents, you certainly like it that much more at 5.5 cents and you buy again. At some point in time though you will have accumulated your entire position and draw a line in the sand, not willing to buy now even if it does drop more. Then again, sometimes it doesn't hurt to have a stink bid in just in case the bottom totally drops out one day and you are still a fan of the stock. LOL! My point is, everyone has a strategy when they are playing these penny stocks./ok2
