Boy, the pump-and-dump crowd really bailed on Scamazon today. The sheeple are just like Charlie Brown, and the big firms are just like Lucy pulling the football out at the last minute--the sheeple never learn. I cut my teeth at First Jersey...while what we did was definitely crooked, there's no difference between what we did and the white shoes firms do. The brand name on the ice cream carton may be different, but the flavor is always the same: vanilla pump-and-dump. If the S.E.C. really wanted to protect investors, the movie "Boiler Room" should be a requisite before you open an account at a securities firm. To maximize the educational experience, they should have subtitles on the screen when "Seth" is pitching that middle-manager guy who put his life savings into the stock...i.e., "this is you (the middle manager), this is the analyst you see hyping his recs on CNBC (Seth the bucket shop broker)."

"gravestone doji" The pattern is setting up that way, but is not complete yet. We need to follow with a down day, and then a down or indecision day. An up day yet this week could negate today's ugly stick.
