Hope to see this stock above $1.00 by Xmas, despite Paul >Whore's (sorry, I meant Paul Ho's) sceem As a short player in the ASE and VSE markets for a good number of years, I can tell you the is just not on. The real game in shorting a heavly promoted stock on these exchanges is to steal the promoters volume. I don't know of one house that would allow you to short a stock not trading on an up tick above $2.50 level, not even on a %100 margin. And I don't know one serious short player that would even consider a short position in such a low range, there is no return in it. Now the disemination of false information is another and seperate matter. I personally never had to resort to posting lies and inuendos, after all thats the promoters job! I have on occasion resorted to posting the facts and correcting promoters misinformation but not specifically to cause a drop in market value. Again its not necessary! In the life of a good stock promotion this event happens naturally, when the long positions realize the story is not going to happen and the promotion falls, taking the price with it. In some past plays, I have witnessed the insiders to cause a temporary price fall by leaking misinformation and wait a few days to correct the the situation, in an effort to buy back the stock they sold in an earlier promotion, thereby maintaining their control positions. This usually happens where the incentive stock options granted to insiders or the warrents they hold have an excerise price well above the market price making it unprofitable to trade them to feed the promotion volume. I have seen promoters use a variation of this to extend a promotion too. There are several other methods that are legal that I, as a short seller, can employ that MAY cause a drop in market price. But thats another thread!! ;-) CHEERS! Sponsored by: Audio Book Club previous · post reply · next help>>>>>>>>>>

CTKT - shorted into the ground, mm's started covering at 5 cents, here's what i found so far Monday July 20, 10:13 am Eastern Time Company Press Release Cetek Technologies Inc. Order Backlog Approaches $2 Million POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 20, 1998--Cetek Technologies Inc. (Nasdaq/OTCBB:CTKT), manufacturer of advanced structural and electronic ceramics, Monday announced that demand for its products has increased to a level that order backlog is now $1,865,500. In order to process this order backlog, Cetek is expanding its capacity by adding new equipment. Cetek also will be aided with increased capacity when one of more planned acquisitions are realized. According to Cetek Technologies founder, Chairman and President Fayiz Hilal, Cetek's acquisition program is on target for 1998. Hilal stated: ''We are selectively targeting companies to acquire that have strong fundamentals and that serve to complement Cetek's overall business model. ''Further, we are proceeding with such acquisitions only when they can be done at excellent values, and for the benefit of our shareholders. We intend to aggressively pursue several such opportunities.'' Cetek produces and markets industrial ceramics for structural and electronic applications, including aerospace, bioceramics, insulators, integrated-circuit packages, capacitors and superconductors. Cetek is aggressively exploring expansion options, and has several near-term acquisition targets identified that would achieve Nasdaq Small Cap listing. This goal, according Hilal, is very achievable due to the company's advanced technology that utilizes a proprietary process and unique, pre-emptive manufacturing techniques. The Department of Commerce, in 1996, recognized this exclusive process, which eliminates much of the costly machining of components, when Cetek was awarded a contract to develop video ''smart-display'' technology. The company also specializes in back planes for flat-panel- display (FPD) monitors. The trade journal Industrial Physicist recently said that FPDs could be the next semiconductor industry.

(OTC Bulletin Board: CTKT), manufacturer of advanced structural and electronic ceramics, announced today completion of Phase 1 of a grant with the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority. Phase 1 undertook to study the concept of sintering ceramic greenware using microwave technique. Fayiz K. Hilal, Cetek's president, said, "This process will have several advantages over the traditional technique, not the least of which will be a dramatic reduction of sintering time by nearly 85%. This, of course, will lead to substantial savings throughout the production phase as well as shorter cycles from concept to market."
