Today, without a doubt, has been interesting. It looks like a little dirt can go a long way when landing in the right hands. As I sit here sipping on my wine and slowly puffing on a cigar with feet kicked out, I would like to tell you a little story. Let me start with the word 'collusion'. First, you find a stock that has been moving up on good news. Over time it moves up higher on good accumulation by faithful shareholders. It gets to a point where, you might say, you get short. This cycle continues untill you are short with pain. What do you do. You find what ever dirt you can on someone in the company- the management, a secretary or even the janitor. You line up your bashers. You inform other market makers of the plan. You bring in offshore players for the no brainer. Now you wait, wait for that big news release to come. It appears. The stock runs. You short with a passion. Your licking your chops. The perfect plan executed many times before with success with the same players. You have already arranged for a PR with BLOOMBERG for the next morning. The trap is set. Volume comes in at the open. Tons to short. Your tainting PR hits right on schedual, about 10:00. Message boards pick it up. You now take 50000 shares and wash trade it giving the appearance of selling. The sheep panick. You take as little sell fills as possible as you work the stock down. The cycle continues as you lick your chops. That 50000 shares wash trades looks like 1,000,000. More panick. You just hurt a lot of good investors- but who gives a sh!t. And on and on and on it goes. To all who are still long as I. This is the game, but thats OK. I have reason to believe that four market makers , one from texas, two from Florida, and a leader. are involved. The one from Texas works closely with some Canadian brokers of whom HIRE there own message board bashers, some of whom have appeared on SI and RB. These people alredy have law suits pending and from what I understand are under investigation by either the NASD, SEC., or the FBI. I got a disturbing call this morning and was told flat out by a well informed source that this GANG intended to crater the stock to $6.00 today. I understand that this collusion to manipulate this stock was well planned several days in advance. When my source has "all" the names tomorrow, I will pass them on. As far as I am concerned, this is part of the BS of being a BB stock and only a hickup for the company. Nothing has changed. I have very good reason to believe that this situation will evaporate eventually. I do believe, for those of interest, a plesant surprise awaits. Happy Investing...WIZZARD |
