Subject: Is the short squeeze on at OVIS? Date: Wed, 27 Aug 1997 12:07:42 -0600 Have you heard that a stockholder cartel representing well over 2.5 million shares has demanded the stock certificates of OLYMPUS VENTURES (OVIS-BB), a stock with a public float of only 1.6 million shares? This is particularly noteworthy in light of this press release from OLYMPUS CEO Gary Morgan ------ Complaints to regulatory agencies haven't stopped the practice of undeclared short selling. However, one way companies can protect themselves is to recommend to shareholders that they take physical delivery of their stock certificates. When physical delivery of stock certificates is demanded by a significant number of shareholders, the creators of nonexistent stock can be squeezed. The short sellers won't have stock certificates to deliver and thus they will cause losses for them and will cause them to move their undeclared short activities elsewhere. | ||||||||||||
