Joe I think you are right about this short squeeze, but I thinks that we will have sue the SOB before we can get our GOLD shares from E*Trade, but I think the MDHM shares will go up from all of this short business. K,

With all the bashers in hiding (lol...from whom) and the weather clearing up in Santiago the IP results should be out soon, and hopefully we will hear something on the forensic audit outcome and the status od the audited financials...things should really heat up a bit leading into the AGM.....

"Secondly, we believe that the Medinah Gold dividend was a very clever and effective way of establishing how large the MDHM short position is, and who the guilty parties are! After all, the transfer agent knows that with ~72 million shares outstanding, that as the MDHM certs are sent in and registered, that there should only be 72 million MDHM shares coming in. Obviously, if investors are claiming a total 90 or 100 million shares (or more), then there?s a problem! We understand that Medinah Mining has been working on getting the issue of the short selling resolved once and for all, and that a significant short position, reportedly on the order of 20 to 30 million shares, has been established, with the bulk of the short selling originating from a handful of well-known brokerage houses in North America and Europe. The law of the markets is that at some point shorts have to cover - the questions are when and at what price does the covering begin to take place, and what news event(s) might trigger a frenzied short covering?" medinahenergy.com

By: goldenbabe2k Reply To: 379 by Handshake Sunday, 10 Sep 2000 at 8:42 AM EDT Post # of 385 The Short & Distort Scheme Stage I: Monitoring In stage I of a Short & Distort Scheme Short groups Monitor spikes in volumes on stocks with no rumors. Stage 2: Flagging Shorts Flag stocks that run up then sits back and wait patiently for their time. Stage 3: Preparation The Shorters research the company and develop their Distortion of the rumors to be used later. Stage 4: Actual Shorting The shorts step in selling on every possible up tick. This is the Reverse of front loading. Preparations are made to attack the guy who had earlier written positively about the company and take out, discredit, any new long-term champions or messengers. Stage 5: Distortion Campaign The shorts step in and increase selling on every possible up tick. Just as with the pump, newsletters, e-mail, PR firms against P & D, etc. are simulated. Expertise in the field is recruited for credibility. Any possible twist using POS (Purposely Omitted Syntax) and PAS (Purposely Added Syntax) is conveniently used on every possible angle. If the POS/PAS is discovered then attack the messenger. Above all control the message boards. The group clutters the message boards so no positive information can be readily found. Justification is the Value of the Company in the market. Projections of $0.00 worth and loss projections of 100% Note: The market manipulator will do everything in his/her power to keep buyers OUT OF THE STOCK. Cut your losses is touted to stimulate fear. You bought higher but now they need you to sell lower. Stage 6: Pressure The shorts have taken it too far. The volume is increasing and the price is not effectively dropping. A stalemate occurs. Personal attacks increase. Threats of legal action, SEC involvement, and yes even death threats increase. Increased secret IDs are employed to increase the cluttering, personal attacks and the distortion. So begins a string of lies that run for as long as one's stomach can take it. Desperately playing on the "you have been had" scenario. Any new news will be hit it hard by shorters to kill any interest. Note: Watch the volume not the share price. A market manipulator will have various brokers buying and selling the stock to give the APPEARANCE of increasing volume but the price goes down. Thus stimulating the story the company is selling or an off shore reg S or other convenient scenario. Watch for large blocks that show up but have a MM special code, cross overs, etc. Stage 7: The Cover Without warning the buying pressure is too much and the short begins to cover. Short covering combined with new investors buying into the stock causes the stock to go up. Often the whole thing starts again. Just a vicious cycle sometimes. Note: Pump & Dump schemes I have seen are investigated by the SEC most of the time, however the Short & Distort scheme is not apparently high on the SEC's agenda. The shorts, unlike the dumper though, has an unlimited loss factor should the stock price go up.
