Talk : Coffee Shop: Yorkton...GUILTY or NOT GUILY of Stock Manipulation

After being the underwriters of BID.COM on three occasions and profiting from the sale of options as the stock
price of BID.COM rose to $32.35, analyst Mark Pavan of Yorkton Securities shocked investors across North
America as they released a stunning report suggesting that the stock which they so enthusiastically pushed only days
before was worth no more than $2 to $3 CDN. 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.
