RE:Is this a pump and dump.?the same reason people always put money on small cap companies so they can become larger cap companies. How many Oil and Gas companies start small? many. if it's a pump and dump who's pumping it? Nobody that's who. The reason the price is rising is because Bilal and Richard have a huge contingent of followers that trust the moves they make. Therefore, acquiring the Velca block is a smart move with potetntial for growth. Don't be such a skeptic. The world is abounding with them already. GLTA
