I currently have two orders in ....one for 1600 shares at .85 and one for 3000 shares at .84. Yet the bid currently shows 72 @ .83 and the ask shows 56 @ .83. How could this be so?

I had a similar problem a while back with a bid for KWG shares, where my bid at .105 was in for days. All the bids at .105 were taken out, but my order wasn't filled. When I enquired, I was told by TD Waterhouse that my order was on the alpha exchange. Apparently, they have the ability to move our orders to whatever exchange they choose...and therefore, the orders don't show up on the regular exchange. I argued that this is clearly another avenue in which those who choose to manipulate are now given another tool at their disposal.

The action this morning is clearly another example of that. Does someone not want to see the demamd coming in on the bid in order to keep the price in check?

What I suspect is that the stock price is kept in check today. Then shortly afterwards, we see our dearly beloved management reward themselves with stock options for a job well done...at the current stock price of course.

Let's see how this all plays out....is our securities exchange board watching????
