I bought 9K today at the high .11. Certainly not the best move but .13 was rediculous. This may have discouraged some possibly but I may have been able to buy at .10 if I waited. It might have been possible to hit .12 but they never asked, lol.
The spread is absurd and requires that the buyer ignore the ask and figure how low will they go. If they held to the ask, there would have been no buys. I wonder if they held the sells to the bid.
I am buying realizing it will be a long while before I sell. Unlike you, I want dividends. I also want a significant rise in SP. This is gamblin money. Flowers and company better start earning their pay.
