I'm sorry this scheme was already done by the Railroad Barons in the 1880's. Use shareholder cash to pay dividends creating the illusion of stability and growth. This in-turn brings in more cash. Repeat until full, then short (to get even more cash) and let the glossy eyed common man pay the check as reality hits.

How about the following business model to make money? I'll start a web shop. For every click, you will be charged $1.00, but I will pay you $1.10. You can click as many times as you want. The more, the better. My web shop will have billions of hits. My revenues will be great as well. I won't lose either because I'll go IPO and my stock will trade at 100 times its revenues. Which will make mine a trillion dollar company! Win-Win situation. Will you be my customer? JC, That is the AMZN business model. It works the same. You will need to advertise what you are doing to let people know to come to your site for the 10% return. Word of mouth will do the rest after that. You may want to start an associate program and pay 5% of your 10% loss to sites that link to your site. Glenn
