David, re. <<Analyst with Janssen Meyers Associaties classifies the shares of Turbodyne as " strong buy ". >> this is just too funny a coincidence. Janssen Meyers is a 'consultant' to Chromatics, and it is paid with Chromatics stock. Chromatics happens to be another co. identified by Asensio as a short sell. Want more funny coincidences? Chromatics was one of several disreputable stocks bought by Michael Schonberg, who was ousted from managing for Dreyfus for reasons that Asensio attributed to fraud. Another of Schonberg's disreputable stocks was MCHM. Read what TMF's Louis Corrigan wrote about this: fnews.yahoo.com Now guess who has touted MCHM? None other than Janssen Meyers: talks.com What ugly company TurboDylution keeps. BTW, Janssen Meyers is located in NYC. They arrange private placements. It isn't a German firm. Curious that they had something to say in Germany... FWIW, it isn't that uncommon for small companies to issue shares to 'consultants' whose job is to hype the stock, and this happens to US stocks in Germany as well as in the US.

More on Janssen Meyers & its association with sleazy stocks: In the last year, Janssen Meyers brought a single company public: RIPE. Details here: ipomonitor.com Ousted fund manager Schonberg bought the stock, just as he did others promoted by Janssen-Meyers. About RIPE: It is a development stage food company. After the IPO it morphed itself into an operator of Russian casinos. Sounds somehow like an aluminum wheel manufacturer that morphed itself into an after-market supplier of turbochargers for Russian buses. RIPE went public at 5. A year later, the stock is down to 2: quote.yahoo.com Well, I'm not sure how good a sign it is that Jenssen Meyers put out a 'strong buy' recommendation on TRBD.
