Just goes to show the list has nothing to do with common sense, Barbara. Probably the SI environment is populated more by undercapitalized people who concentrate more on lower cap and Bulletin Board stocks and so look to a guy like Mex for some direction. Personally I would not but then I never had much interest in the pink stocks. When I started doing this full time I saw how the traders and brokers at the firm I was at (for a short time) knew how to manipulate the stocks. Many had learned at the feet of Bob Brennan of First Jersey. One interesting tactic would be that the Trading Desk would tip off the managers and top brokers that the issue they had brought out a few weeks earlier was starting to break down. So, while they would be whipping the younger brokers to have their clients buy more (to get it off the firm's books) they would quietly be getting their own clients out. The Classic Pump 'n Dump, first hand. Twenty years later, Bob may be in trouble but his legacy lives on.
