My expertise is really limited to the con men on the bb and small cap Nasdaq and Vancouver exchanges. There you will often not see any real news on a stock. The hype is done on a more personal level, thru brokers, stock hype newsletters, and web sites, etc. I'm not personally familiar with either esmc or hcom so I have no inside knowledge of how they drove up the price. Take my word for it, the one thing I am absolutely sure of, is when esmc passed 9 bucks, the management and everyone they know dumped the stock. Hey a little while ago the stock was a dollar so that's ten times their money, which even in the con man hypester business is not too shabby. This baby will never hit double digits again. Let's see if they can move it above 5 one more time... PS Provided you get in early enough on these hype acts they actually are a good deal. If you bought esmc around 2 or 3 you would have made 3-5 times your money. So there is some truth to their predictions. The key with these things is to be in early. Never buy these things on the wrong side of $5. Personally I think you should always get them below $2, just in case your friendly hypester is incompetent at even hype :).
