Need Tips On Thinly Traded Otc Stock, Dominated By Market Makers

[bangkokburning]

I am not having an easy time buying an OTC stock.

Qualifying the bid ALLORNONE. How much does this really impact the trade? It appears quite a deal, but how much? I'm trying to purchase blocks of 100-300, or a big chunk 6-800. I had left this open initially and rec'd partials of about 50% of my request, which was fine, but I do not want a partial fill of 50 shares!

Where I can see my bid is lower than others, I try to use strategies such as a smaller block or large block as enticement to sell me shares (at a lower price than the highest bid, but all bids are not close to the ask about <2-3.00 less. Is this effective, can anyone provide any tips here?

If bids exist:

32

31

and I wish to bid the following: 30.50 or below 32, below 31; what might make Market Maker take my bid?

How much might one expect a stock to decline in price after the dividend is paid for the year? OK not an easy question.

How about if a special is also declared?

At years end?

Any help - thanks
