XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX J Taylor's Gold & Technology Stocks - Weekly Telephone Hotline Transcript - August 12, 2000 Date: 8/13/2000 7:45:39 PM !!!First Boot!!! From: jtaylor9@ix.netcom.com (Jay Taylor) UPDATE - SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS TO DEMAND SHARE DELIVERY At the end of last week I did finally manage to contact the Chief Council’s office at the SEC to ask questions concerning a shareholder’s rights to acquire share certificates. Specifically, the questions I asked were. 1) Do shareholders have the right to demand delivery of certificates within ownership registered in their name? 2) If so, how much time does a broker-dealer have to deliver those shares and 3) What recourse does an investor have if the broker refuses to deliver those shares? When I speak to the SEC attorney, I also want to ask him or her whether the broker-dealers have the right under existing regulations to lend non-margin securities. FINDERS KEEPERS INC. - EVIDENCE THAT TAKING DELIVERY PAYS OFF Last week I received a very encouraging story about a company named Finders Keepers Inc., that supports my belief that many of the stocks on our list could see their share prices rise dramatically, if major shareholders would simply demand delivery of their shares. On August 8th, a story was put out on the Internet of a company named Finders Keepers Inc. (OTCBB FDKP) that all but proves the existence of market maker short selling and how destructive it is. The company’s shares began trading this past March on very low volume in a rage between around $0.10 and $0.30. Then, a number of large shareholders became convinced that market making short selling was taking place, thus retarding the appreciation of their shares. So they demanded delivery of their share certificates. In just three trading days, FDKP surged from $0.10 to $2.25 and on huge volume that can only be described by comparing the height of the Empire State building to a two-story house! It should be pointed out that there was no important news announcements by the company during this time frame or just before, that could account for sudden increase in the demand for the stock. Most certainly what was happening is that the short positions that were put on over a period of several months were suddenly unwound in three days! Eight days after the dramatic rise, the stock was still selling at $1.71. At that time, free trading shares totaled only around 1.5 million. Yet during the eight days from this company’s dramatic rise in price, an amazing 5.6 million shares traded hands despite the fact that there was no noteworthy news except that major shareholders demanded delivery of their shares! I have no idea about what FDKP is worth. But that is beside the point. What was proven by the price and volume activity that took place over an eight-day period in July for FDKP was that there was a huge short position in this stock. WHEN INVESTORS TOOK DELIVERY OF THE SHARES OF FDKP THEY OWNED, THE TRUE SUPPLY AND DEMAND DYNAMICS OF THIS SECURITY WERE ALLOWED TO PLAY OUT. That was not true before because the market makers were undoubtedly selling the same shares multiple times, thus creating a huge and artificial supply of stock much higher than the 1.5 million freely traded shares in the float. As a result, shareholders are overwhelmed by the downward direction of the price and they subsequently give up on these companies. I am convinced that many good companies go out of business as a result of this very dishonest behavior and severe distortion of the markets for these small stocks. It is my sincere belief that market maker short selling, at least for low priced, non-margin stocks should be made illegal, if it is not already against regulations. As noted above, that is one question I want to ask the SEC. Why should not simple laws of supply and demand determine the price of shares of stock? Why should anyone be allowed to manipulate these markets for their own personal gain at the expense of hard working average Americans? ITRONICS, GOLDEN PHOENIX AND McKENZIE BAY The management of these companies believe they have been short changed by market makers as well. I have no doubt that many, if not most of the companies on our list, have been adversely effected by market maker short selling. That would go for Canadian traded firms as well as those trading in the U.S. One thing I am sure of is that companies on my list like Itronics, Golden Phoenix and McKenzie Bay would not undercut an effort by you to flush out market maker short sellers as the management of Finders Keepers apparently did. I know that there are some large shareholders at Itronics who could single-handily give the shares of Itronics a boost if they would simply demand delivery of their shares.
