Interesting reading off the internet -- Elminster The Black Art of Making Money in Penny Stocks Welcome to the "Black Art of Making Money in Penny Stocks" website. I'm a long time stock trader and investor and I will provide a ficticious rendition of how the mind works of a penny stock trader in the form of a diary. The information is this document is provided for entertainment purposes only. Don't be alarmed if the information contained in my diary resembles real life people, scenarios, places, or events. It's purely coincidental. Jonny Wadchuter's Diary Introduction: Dear Diary, this is my first entry into my diary and I have decided to join the ranks of "Penny Stock Hypster Extraordinaire". I have chosen the screen name "Jonny Wadchuter" and I'll use this name when I log into chat rooms and internet message boards. Funny name isn't it ? <g> A penny stock hypster ? How low can I go ? I feel like a sub-human specie ! Oh well, I know I'm being a bad boy but I need to scam money out of people. Who cares, if they're stupid to sink their money into "speculative stocks", that's their problem. <g> I have an interesting plan, a very organized one indeed. I have a small following of friends that are interested in making money too and I have convinced them to join my clan. Since I'm the brains behind this, I will make all the recommendations and they will be performing most of the research. This is too cool as I can make money off them without them knowing my true intentions. What a loser I have become, making money off my friends too. I need a name for my clan, what shall I call it ? Hmmm.... I know, "Clan Rippenuoff". Seems fitting since all I do is rip you off. What else do I need to do ? Well, here's my list of things; Clan Rippenuoff's Agenda: 1. I need to organize the people in this clan and assign duties. Here's the KEY people in my clan. These are the screen names that they're going to use in chat rooms and internet message boards. The rest of the clan members are solely there to make a little money and provide a presence on the chat rooms and internet message boards. We need a nice flood of messages to make it look like something serious is brewing. Clan Rippenuoff Main Hypesters: Jonny Wadchuter - That's me, I am the King Pin, the CEO of this clan. I make all the calls. Dave Dikinyeras - My best friend, he will be the main hypster sitting at my side and the finacial advisor-->Yeah right! <g> Patricia Perlneklis - She's the "happy" girl, the mediatore when things get too hot, she comes to the rescue. Marvin Moenews - The news "guy". Can't make money unless there is news. <g> Theadore MeatCleaver - The "Nay-sayer", Scare-Tactics at it's best. 2. I'm going to find a penny stock with some "sizzle" and of course it must be a stock with a low float so it can easily be manipulated. I'll start accumulating it behind closed doors. When I am finished, I will recommend this stock to my close friends and pals (my clan). I want to be the first one to get a good price, I really don't care if my clan gets the same good deals as I do. I'm a greedy punk ! 3. We will spam the chat room and internet message boards with BS and accumulate a following of minions, these are the fools that will be taken for a ride. I will offer these people a free newsletter to the "insider information" so they can feel "special". Sure, they may make some money, but I stand to reap the big rewards since I got in first, and they also provide some support if something bad is too happen, I can get out of the stock first while telling the minions to hold on. 4. Since it's easier to convince people to sell their stock than to buy it, I have assigned one of my clan members as the "nay-sayer". His sole purpose is to bring the stock down using "scare-tactics" (force a major sell off in the stock) after the clan members sell the stock and/or if I also decide to take a short position in the stock. After selling the shares, I may issue a recommendation to the minions to start selling their shares and take whatever profits they have or to minimize their losses, and instruct the nay-sayer to drive the stock down. Once the stock has dropped, we can re-accumulate" the stock and repeat the process again. Is this a form of "cruel and unusual punishment" ? <g> 5. The funny thing about this.... all this is scripted ahead of time. Lets face the truth, we need alot of people to convince the minions to buy the stock, but we only need one guy to be the contrarian. While the stock drops, the clan members will fight with the contrarian to give the minions the "warm and fuzzy" feeling as the stock declines, an assurance that everything will be OK. 6. One of the most interesting things about penny stock manipulations is tricking the market makers to lower the price on the stock by placing stop loss orders at a very low price and placing limit orders just ahead of the stop loss order. The purpose is to coax the market makers to drive the stock down because they see your juicy order to sell (the stop loss order), and they think they can make a quick buck by quickly lowering the price to force you to sell your shares at a lower discounted price, then they quickly raise the price again and sell those shares for a profit. I'm a sleazy dog, I like to use level II quotes to accomplish this task. You see, what I do is coax the market markers to lower the price when they see my big stop loss order, as the price declines my order to buy more shares gets filled, then I quickly cancel my stop loss order, subsequently fooling the market makers. Then the price settles back to where it was. How many times have you seen a penny stock drop during the trading day on very little or no volume ? Just remember me when you see this. <g> -- Jonny Wadchuter  | ||||||||||||
