Date: 06/20/2000 4:20 PM Subject: MMM I have been an investor in COII for a very long time. Like many, I have been victim to MMs shorting. The worst of it is when they take a market order (s), then refuse to execute or cancel until they have walked the stock down in price, or simply buy/sell with absolutely no regard to their stated bid/ask. Yesterday, the best possible news for a development stage company happened. Sales...big sales. This happened in the middle of the day, so most of COIIs 30,000 investors and the investing public did not hear about it until after the close, so only had a modest gain. This morning, the stock opened about 2% higher, then continued to climb. In the middle of a steady stream of buy orders, the price began to drop...fast. Volume appeared to be low, then escalated rapidly as it hit the bottom. I firmly believe this stock was manipulated by PILL and that many market orders were not filled until it hit bottom. I do know as fact that many limit orders were ignored entirely Note that we closed the day considerably down from yesterday, very close to before the news that everyone's been waiting years to hear. Could you please look into it. Thank You Bruce Long
