Not really a pump and dump by the traditional sense, but more of aspiring hopefulls trying to capitalize on the next Google or Microsoft stock that ain't quite there yet.

Ya see V, what happened to this play, was a sneak a peak at a press release to gain some volume and some uptickery. It wasn't because the tout stopped that the value started to drop, it was because of a counter press release....

Does anyone flip "newsletter releases"? Been thinking of starting up a gambling accoumt for them. That, and as archie mentioned, short the bastards into the ground. Although pennies can be expensive to short.

Been a couple years since I played the pinkies and pennies but it can be a fun game to be sure. I still gotta couple bux in the old stock account and love the charts, and I periodically run a couple of scans and post some potential plays for a buddy of mine...

If yer wanting or needing a little helps on the backside of the techs or a little help on the DD for some of these bitches, let a brother know, I'd be happy to join ya couple of quick flips and watching for the dead cats, (thems used to be my specialty)...

Though having something else to work with during NY FX will cut down my pr0n intake, I have never been opposed to shaking a couple of extra bux outa the market tree...

Them other peices of shit you are holding onto and will never escape from, well, most likely the truer sense of the pumps and dumps. No bid side, some sneaky fucker waltzing in buying up a couple million shares and running a promo on it to liquidate his position for profit, only to once the dance is over to go back to a No Bid piece of shit.

yes , conflicts at the peak & a different beast may come into the scene . bad sign recently , usdx broken the last limit upside taken for long time & so unlimited pullback possible & eu broken in toto the upside limits with bull confirmation but tanked heavily thereafter suggesting actually not in impulse down rather BIG C started down as looking for new C noted( one already taken up ) for long back also . so bad dreams started come true !!
just checking gbpusd & same picture in eu also , not unlikely & so next big move towards 3053 , if fail...
count your waves on a bigger tf using the high from 2008 in them.. and u will not see any bulls. on a longer term.. and if you go back before 2008 till 2008 u will c a dt. with the down button tripped when the floor (crotch) was breached... with a failed attempt to recover at an important level at each attempt. each low produced a rejection (lower high) at key levels of the previous wave. so when people said bullish long term i most often disputed this. i have the next bull wave that was to come after 1.6 and its just a few pips over 1.7.. i also use its levels at times, and sometimes for weeks they work.
i look at charts. i cant include future government intervention on them. because its the unknown. most of this intervention has been usd negative. and yet the bigger chart prevails. just at a slower pace. when this intervention stops or the market quits believing. this pace will increase.
they can blame all this on Greece. and sure Greece (Dubai poster of the month club) is part of it. but a finger will always be pointed at the wolf, right or wrong (make believe wolfs). the powers will always point a finger at something. even with France and Germany having the same crap on their books to a lesser degree. but they are in worse shape because they will throw more good money after bad money. they will support the others because it keeps the finger off them.

just like u.s. politics. you need a wolf. a real one or a fake one. the one that sticks is the one most fingers, put the cross hair on. most of the time some truth is in it. but the wolf is small like Greece. the finger is used to fool the sheep on the bigger problems in France and Germany..
the guys in power will always invent a wolf to point a finger at. 2008 till now was just the case. all spent and done was to protect the power of old banks, the ones embedded in central banks (owners of central banks). .. its always about money banks or oil. but its always about money. so you can never rule out intervention. at least till the war starts. then the banks can make some real money as they have for centuries. the tree hugger's and the bubba's will once again come together and die together. then peace will rule till the next finger. then the process starts over.

the yen and aud tell the story.. we can bounce before. then all is up.. but if we don't.. the line will be crossed this time. all is down at that point. if we do cross. a bounce can happen for a while. they often times do bounce. but after the fall is steep. when the line is crossed the second time.
in 2008 just before the fall ez was doing great. (?).. oil had just reached a high. other commodities were near the peek too. (gold copper 2011 all time high)
this time Europe is not in the same place
some companies in china are not paying their bills for construction equipment..
its all in the aud/jpy chart. just a few hundred pips from the purple line atm. a breach indicates a dive below 2008 levels. the fingers will point. but this bell was rung in 2008. confirmed in 2010. 2873 will do it again on a smaller tf..
understandably most don't trade on a tf so large. there will be bounces.. and they at times will be large.
those who can, do. those who cant, talk about those who can

Not off hand...would be very easy to spin one up, though. I'll see if I have something to modify.

Venice and his lightning WPM fingers could knock one out in about 30 seconds. If only we could track those fingers down...we need a V-man light. Not to be confused with B-man...
