Definitely worth repeating: (since I'm on a roll figuring out how to use this box).
FO, First of all, let me say thank you on behalf of the numerous lurkers like myself who appreciate the efforts of individuals like yourself, Lew Green, et al, who contribute valid information to this thread.
IMO it is a big mistake to give the likes of Charters the time of day by responding to his/their idiotic posts. The people who feel that they must "defend the faith" only pour fuel on the fire as this thread becomes cluttered with non-productive garbage. Anyone with half a brain sees right through "the agenda". The fortunes of IPM do not rest with what is espoused by ECharters or any other bear/bull who participates in this forum. It rests with what these reports will say AND what the institutions do once they decipher the information. The market is a supply/demand equation. If we get what we think that we will get from these reports, the stock will hand the various short consortium a lesson they will never forget.
Yes it is unfortunate that a few investors might start believing the misinformation campaign and they sell their shares. But IMO it is even more counterproductive to have to weed through this endless drivel night after night as everyone tries to have the proverbial last word. But anyone who bases an investment decision on what they read on SI, or any other internet forum, needs to learn the valuable lesson that they incur. So lets all sit back and relax and let the people who have the most to lose (IPM management) get it right.
Now on the trading front, KEYZ, FAHN, NITE, SOBE, all took turns working the stock lower today. They smell the blood in the water via monitoring forums such as SI to gauge the sentiments of the small investor. They send their henchmen into these venues to sew discord. They know that they cannot shake Cap Guardians tree, but they know that they can get the little guy. As they feel their way to see if there is any underlying support via institutional investor, they can start hitting bids and taking turns on the offer. If Cap Guardian or Midas or whomever is not around, (unfortunately they are not right now) they get more aggressive knowing that we are at key levels due to margin calls. Thats what happened today. The stock dropped on light volume as no one is willing to step to the plate once bids are attacked. At some point the institutions should step in to protect their investment. I'm sure they monitor whats going on "in the box". All we need is somebody to stand in the gap.
How much lower can they take it? It all depends on where the shorts "park" to pick up shares OR a fund steps to the plate. This is what happened when the stock ran from 4 1/2 to 6 1/2 as there was a real buyer in the market AND you had a mini short scramble to cover. The only problem was the buyer went away, more delays in the report, and the cycle starts all over again. This is the way the "racket" known as the Nasdaq stock market is played. Especially when you have a story stock like IPM. Unfortunately for IPM this all came on the heals of the BRE-X/Delgratia debacle. As we all know in life, timing is everything. For us IPM shareholders time has not been our ally, but we all no good things come to those who wait. Good luck to all. Especially shortie!!
