<<To: Wealthy1 (35 ) From: SirVinny Friday, May 14 1999 12:38AM ET Reply #45 of 45 Rumor has it that Yorkton was peeved at losing BIDS' future underwriting business to much larger and credible American firms. In view of the continuous barrage of negative comments made by the Nutty Professor, Mark Pavan, and several other Yorkton officials with regards to BIDS, the question remains whether Yorkton's actions were guided by Greed or Vindictiveness. Regardless of whether it was Greed or Vindictiveness, it is the opinion of many that their manipulative tactics were borderline fraudulent and should be investigated. Oh, by the way, Yorkton, please do sue me. There is nothing I want more than to be sitting in the witness stand. You know full well that it would give my lawyer the opportunity to counter-interrogate you and subpoena your files on Discovery. So, Kiss This!

This came only one day after BID.COM was listed on the NASDAQ. Even more stunning was that in the hours that ensued the massive selloff which saw the stock drop to $8.50, Yorkton was one of the most active buyers of BID.COM shares at prices considerably greater than the $2 to $3 they claimed the stock was worth. Is this a blatant example of stock manipulation ? Was Mark Pavan's report irresponsible ? Was Yorkton's actions suspicious ? Was there a motivation for this untimely report ? Do you think this merits an investigation ? Do you think shareholders were cheated ? Or is this simply the way the game is played ? This thread allows you to post your comments and opinions on whether or not you think Yorkton Securities is Guilty or Not Guilty of stock manipulation.>>Subject 27996 I guess there will be a lot of suits going on, and the only people that make any money are the lawyers, too bad later john
