Re: A lightbulb just went off

I think it would be fun to see if this thread could have an affect on one of Andrew's usual picks, say UTEK. I picked this one at random using upside down flash cards. Damn my luck, it was the one of the 50+ flash cards that contained a stock I own and stand to gain hansomly on if UTEK goes up (snicker).

Now, I'm not asking for a 4x volume increase, ala MEDY, just, say, 1.5x (50%). At 400,000 avg share volume, this would amount to a mere 200,000 shares. At $27/share I would need an investment from people here of a mere $5,400,000. If 50 people would be so kind to take out a second mortgage and contribute 100K each, then I'm sure I can count on Patrick to jump in with the remaining 400K he has stashed under his mattress. My guess is that would raise the share price about $2.50-- oh darn, this is not even 10% - I need 20%. Just make everything double.

P.S. This is MY idea of science fiction. I hope I proved a point about why the "spammers" don't mess with the type of stocks that Andrew recommends, and why he and others, such as Kevin, are able to tell you their recommendations BEFOREHAND without compromising their own potential profits.
