Hey Bill, you're getting famouser and famouser:
Regarding Mr. Pink

I used to own stock for a company called Tava Technologies (TAVA), which became popular for landing Y2K business from several Fortune 500 clients in the area of embedded systems remediation (although that is not their core business). The stock ran up to about $13/share in April '98. Shortly after that time, it was found that Mr. Pink recommended shorting TAVA and just about anything associated with Y2K remediation. Another poster, who calls himself Bill Wexler, would post frequently on the Yahoo finance boards for TAVA. Even though he is a dignified short himself, I believe he takes a lot of advice from Mr. Pink.
During the summer months of last year, and through the end of September, Bill Wexler would post brief messages on the TAVA board that he was going to short TAVA to $1. He would post in an almost Borglike manner, posting small sentences and stating possible future events as facts, as well as never responding to those who posted back to him. Do not be surprised if you see this alias come onto this board as he knows Mr. Pink's positions well.
Bill Wexler, being the spineless weasel that he is, covered his position at $5 instead. The stock dropped just below $3, where I bought, and I sold a month later at $6 1/4 to get out of a big hole and make a profit. However, I felt very lucky to get out OK.
If you see Bill Wexler on this board, please realize that he sometimes rides the coattails of Mr. Pink and is also very powerful. They communicate with each other quite frequently. I believe Bill Wexler also has his own SI message board and his own following. Do not be surprised if Bill Wexler posts in a similar manner to the Mr. Pink fake aliases if he does post here. |
