>>>Nowadays, I think it is more important to bring the light on the OTC:BB touts out there who are really preying on the Mom and Pops out there.<<<
OK, so what do we have?
a) Organized touts who nefariously pump OTC:BB stocks, hoping to induce massive buying so that the connected insiders can sell into the buying strength;
b) Organized shorts who nefariously bring down OTC:BB stocks, hoping to induce a panic sell so that the connected insiders get the greatest value from the short campaign once covered;
c) Sincere longs hoping the OTC:BB stock they've discovered will break through and get onto Nasdaq where it'll perform credibly down the road;
d) Sincere shorts -- Wait a minute! Aren't most of these sincere-type folk found shorting larger exchange stocks, not OTC ones? And aren't these kinds of shorts placed and based more upon the fundamentals and performance of the targeted company, rather than on personal attacks aimed at a company, its executives or its supporters?
e) None of the above.
So how do we each fit into what's described above?
Me? Well, when times are good, I like to position trade open market IPOs and Quiet Periods. And I've got a nice strategy for doing this. When times are not good, I like to find a prospective stock or few, of which to remain long--so sometimes this puts me into the category "c" above, although I prefer and mostly do buy only Nasdaq-level stocks.
TO ALL: So where do others fit? Have I categorized the above categories correctly? Did I leave something out? Please, folks, help me out. Let's get some clarity as to exactly what it is we're trying to accomplish as either a long or a short. What kind of buyer and seller are you? Are your chances of doing well enhanced if you're part of an organized campaign?
It seems to me, if a previous post is correct, that A@P had some really heavy-duty-types in his consortium shorting club, that the deck invariably would get stacked against the mom and popsters from category "c" noted above.
Now, I'm all for bringing down the scam corps and perpetrators. But perhaps this is better and more sincerely accomplished by coming from a .org nonprofit viewpoint, rather than a .com for profit viewpoint. Eh? |
