SOME LESSONS ON VULTURE TRICKS, or "How to decode messages"
We hold 50-75% of the float of one of the hottest companies in one of the hottest of the hi-tech sectors!! And these shares are tremendously undervalued. We should congratulate ourselves on being at the right place at the right time, because speaking for myself, I lucked into finding this company when I did.
Lesson 1: When you hold something valuable, other people want it.
Who wants it?
- MMs who guessed wrong and have large short positions to cover.
- Other "investors" with money to buy with but with no shares to buy.
Now, this is important. If you are a short MM or an "investor" who wants/needs to make a big buy, you MUST buy before the company goes NASDAQ, because after that the big guys willl come in and the price will skyrocket. So you have limited time, tick, tick, tick...
Lesson 2: Nice guys support their fellow investors and buy in the open market.
Look at Mr. D as an example of this. He wants to buy big time, and did so before the vultures came around. But now, when he wants to buy more, he can't get filled on his big orders. But being a nice guy, he keeps accumulating bit by bit, supporting the stock price, and telling us what he is doing. Vultures hate people like Mr. D
Lesson 3: Vultures like to hover overhead and dive down to pick on the weak.
Suppose you wanted to or needed to buy, say, 1M shares of this stock, but it's not out there to buy. What would you do if you were not a nice guy (see Lesson 2)?
You could try to run the price way up hoping to get others to take their profits, then you could buy their shares. The problem with this is that you would yourself be buying at high prices, and a true vulture likes to eat from the very bottom. It is their nature, and they can't fight it.
Another trick, then is to try to run the price down, panicking investors into selling, then buying at cheap prices. This is the prefered vulture trick. We have seen this 2 or 3 times already, and each time it is working less and less. Because we now know the trick, and realize the value of what we have, so we can ride out the dip, even buy more, and wait for the inevitable.
Lesson 4: Vultures are tenacious and have small brains, so small that feathers can't even cover them. So they try and try again.
To understand a vulture, you have to think like a vulture. Since the investors on this board own 50-75% of the float, this seems like the place to hover over for pickings.
One thing you could do is come across initially as an "intelligent investor," with the good of the group in mind. But you tell the group that the best thing for them is to sell. Don't laugh, see lesson 4.
If this doesn't work, you can tell the group that you are smarter than they are and that they are "fools," hoping they follow you like sheep and sell off so you can buy. Don't laugh, see lesson 4.
If this still doesnt work, you can come back and tell the leaders how great they are, hoping they have large egos and will become your friends. Then you can convince them to tell others to sell. You see, vultures compensate for their small body parts by having huge egos. So they assume that everyone else is the same. Don't laugh, see lesson 4.
By now you are desperate. But like a good vulture, you keep beating your brain, what there is of it, against the ground and come up with other tricks.
Here's a good one you will love. You tell the group you are really in charge of another group of wise and rich investors, and need to send them coded messages that will affect the stock price. You tell them you need a public board to do this (hopefully they wont ask why my rich friends dont have email addresses), and this is as good a board as any (hopefully they wont ask why my friends dont use AOL or something else). Don't laugh, see Lesson 4.
Now, the nice thing about the last trick is that vultures know the MMs are short and will try to bring the price down anyway, but they wont sell me the 1M shares I want and need. So hopefully hen the group sees the price dip, they will think my secret group is doing this, and they will respect and be afraid of the power I possess, and will sell, and then I will buy their cheap shares.
Don't laugh, if you have followed this thread for the last month you will know exactly what I am talking about. |
