A. You'd be surprised if it fell much further, eh? How about 0.10? Then...they do a 1:5 consolidation to mop up the sharebase. Now there's 5 million shares out and CYJ trades at 0.50. The dreath-trend continues and the price slides down to 0.25. Sound familiar?
B. Frank and Marchment. This is no allegation. It was written up in the Globe & Mail last week. I'll try to get the date of publication for you, as I never read the article, but another trader I associate with did.
C. What I mean by a blow-out is when insiders, including promoters, dump stock during a very high volume run-up, and then head for the hills. It is possible that they shorted it to the nuts too, through offshore accounts, and are making more money now. Look at the chart and tell me MXR was not a blow-out. NPA actually has a bit of a story to it that got more Joe Q. Publics all hot to buy the stock, so the play lasted way longer than anticipated. Look at the NPA thread. Classic. Just think to yourself...if Frank was legit, would be recommend MXR after the run-up, right during the blow-out? Come on. As for NPA Frank got lucky in that additional buying came in. Those who make money on these stocks either 1) have held the stock at low levels for quite some time, 2) are flipping it by the hour, or 3) are shorting it like there's no tomorrow (which is usually the case because amateur buying fades quickly for junk stock). |
