Bill: Great thread you have going here. Don't know why it took me so long to stumble on in. That Juergen character from the Panda thread is either one of the world's worst investors or a German broker/promoter specializing in Berlin traded dreck. FWIW, PNDA, TRBD, SCMM, LHSG all trade over there. Keep up the great work. drakes353

Somebody said that the Germans do tend to drive the worthless crap through the roof, I heard it from a german guy when I was looking at EASTE, which trades there. SOmething about the exchange they trade on. Pump & dumpers.

Bill and all: A sure sign of a loser company is when they blame their stock's price decline on short selling. ABTX is an example: biz.yahoo.com "''Shorters are making a coordinated effort against the stock at this point,'' CEO Johnny Thomas said in a conference call. ''The rumors and attacks that are taking place are very coordinated, very systematic and very widespread." Barb

Bill, What's so attractive about shorting LHSG? Mr. Pink & Auric are all over it, but I've never seen the rationale as to what's wrong with it.

Bill, re <<do German investors have a penchant for picking worthless companies and driving their stocks through the roof?>> Bill, stocks like these aren't bought. They are sold. So I would phrase it a bit differently: American stock promoters have a penchant for selling worthless shares to unsuspecting foreigners without the protection of US securities laws. The selling is done by paid analyst reports from the likes of Jenssen/Meyers, placements of stories in the many investing magazines here, etc. So how does the stock go up through the roof? These hucksters have found that by getting their clients a second listing here in Germany they can drive the stock up. Buy some shares in the US to send over here, and naturally the buying drives up the price of the shares in the US. The Germans think this is great because they are buying something that is going up. They have their own online forums to hype it up, too. That's the pump stage, anyway. Eventually you get to the dump stage, too, as one can easily see with PNDA. In addition to PNDA and TRBD, which you listed, you might add HEB, which I reviewed elsewhere: Message 5454883 and subsequent posts. BTW, HEB hasn't fallen in the last few days as everything else has done. It's still in the pump stage. There are a lot of shares that are due to come out of lockout very soon, so I'm betting this situation won't last.
