The SEC only looks out for big money and really is a bloated governmental agency. I worry about that.

There are alot of scams with alot of crooked CEO’s
TYPES OF PENNY STOCK SCAMS
1) THE CROOKED CEO AND NAKED SHORTERS DREAM COMPANY
this is the most common one it’s when you have a company without a product and a crooked ceo that pumps the stock with a news release for a day or two .Sometimes it’s true/real news or it’s just future hype/outlook which is mostly lies.He does this(pump) so that he can sell shares into the run.Then after he does his pump the share price usually goes down ,but he made his money selling shares on the way up that’s all he cares about. (it;s called the pump and dump)To top it off or rub salt into the wound, if the float is getting large 1billion or over what he does is something called a reverse split.In other words he takes the float of lets say 1 billion shares and does a 20 to 1 reverse split.
so now a stock selling at .01 with 1 billion share float gets reverse split 20 to 1
becomes a stock selling at .20 cents with 50 million share float.Which plays in perfectly for the naked shorting crowd because the ones that shorted at .01 had a hard time getting out at a lower price.Now not only they have 20 times less naked short shares to worry about(which they could have naked shorted shares 3to5 times the current float)but they have a new higher price to start shorting from to bring it back down to that .01 level again.”THIS TYPE OF CEO IS THE NAKED SHORTERS DREAM CEO”( I’m surprised he doesn’t ask for a kick back from the naked shorting crowd).This process of reverse splitting may happen as much as twice a year.Which totally wipes out the original shareholders that bought in the begining.(Just keep deviding 100k by 20 and you’ll see how many shares you are left with after a while.Especially if theyr’e naked shorted back down to .01 over and over) OUCH !!!

2)THIS IS THE CASH COW COMPANY
it’s where a company has a product that’s in development all the time but the ceo never releases it out on the market,but gives himself a very large salary of lets say 500k.So to pay for the overhead (which he happens to be the biggest expense) he sells shares to the market quite often and reverse splits once a year to once every other year depending on the share price.Just living a nice comfortable life in the suburbs somewhere.THERE WILL NEVER BE A PRODUCT RELEASE JUST A GOOD SALARY AND THE SHAREHOLDERS PICK UP THE TAB (OUCH!!!)

Now you see what 50to60 percent of the otc and pink sheet companies are like.
The other 40% or so seem to be legit.At least the ceo makes an attempt at being legit ,but with all the naked shorting going on they sooner or later give up, and
in order to stay alive they also start selling shares to pay for overhead.They may try financing but if their shareprice is to low it’s hard to find. UNLESS THEY HAVE SOMETHING THE BANK SEE’S OF VALUE
So if the company that’s looking for a loan has excellent intellectual property (VALUE) or even if they are a mining company and sitting on prime real estate(VALUE) they have to watch out for hostile takeovers. Especially with all the naked shares out in the market or various financing where they put up a certain amount of shares against the loan.If the loan is set on a SHARE PRICE at which the shares are going to convert instead of an AMOUNT OF DOLLAR VALUE that they are going to convert at.They should be ok.But if the latter(AMOUNT OF DOLLAR VALUE) They may wind up with hostile takeover problems The loan bank (shark in this case) can short to bring the price down in order to wind up with more shares during the conversion.Thereby becoming majority share holder and takeover your company,and all it’s intellectual proporty or in the case of a mining company the mineral rights /claims.

SO HOW MANY COMPANIES ON THE OTC,PINKS ARE SCAMS AND HOW MANY ARE LEGIT AND TRY TO MAKE AN HONEST GO OF IT? THE NAKED SHORTING CROWD WILL SAY “THEY’RE ALL SCAMS AND DESERVE TO GO OUT OF BUISNESS”. WE SAY “QUIT NAKED SHORTING EVERY COMPANY INTO THE GROUND TO THE POINT OF DRIVING THEM OUT OF BUISNESS,(except the 1 and 2 examples) AND WE’LL FIND OUT. ESPECIALLY IF THE SEC STARTS TO DO IT’S JOB” .( but maybe that’s in some perfect world somewhere)

P.S.To the SEC if it’s listening “HELLO” >> if a company’s ceo reports to you that he is being naked shorted and you don’t investigate you are aiding and abetting the criminal naked shorter, that’s eventually, going to undermine this countries economic future.
Since you know that the big companies sooner or later will out-source the majority of america’s jobs thru globalization then these small companies(that are being naked shorted) will be the only place where the new jobs will come from IF THEY’RE NOT KILLED OFF BY NAKED SHORTING. So why aren’t you doing your job and investigating
these claims(naked shorting) before this nation becomes a second world country.
“HELLO”

matt: I get such a low beta because I’ve instituted lots of risk measures that help me reduce my risk overall but keep my performance intact. I’m typically 95% in stocks but I rotated money out last December to 60% stocks, now I’m easing back into the market

TO WHO EVER
THE USSUAL BEGINERS ROAD IS THRU TRIAL AND ERROR (hopefully he’s a quick learner) HERE’S A LITTLE ANALOGY
“INVESTING” Well, it’s sort of like you see this lake (lets call it wall street lake ) and you park your car, you get out,and you take a stroll along it’s nice sandy bank throwing some rocks(investing some small play money) in the water to amuse yourself.Then comes the thought what if i get serious and commit some real money,maybe i will make myself rich and retire and live happily ever after.(i heard that before) So you wade in up to your ankles,(invested 10k with a broker in a sure thing) .But then you take a good look at the water and you notice it’s really murky and dirty to the point where you you can’t see your feet .You look around and there is no one in sight (unless there is another sure thing your broker says to invest in) and your getting this uneasy feeling.Just then something bites you on your big toe .You reach down and it’s this 10 inch alligator that just drew a little blood (you just lost 5k on your first sure investment) no real damage you think to yourself wade in a little further up to your knees(you invested 10k into another sure thing)Just then and there you see this huge head rise from under the water 100 feet away and looks at you as if you were it’s lunch,and it dawns on you this lake is full of alligators,and you run screaming for the shore probably breaking the 50 yard dash.
“YOU ARE ONE OF THE LUCKY ONES” (because there are some real horror stories)

HOW DO YOU GET TRANSPARANCY IN ALL THIS MURKY WATER
The word “”INVESTOR”HAS BECOME THE EQUIVELENT TO THE WORD “SUCKER””on wall street. The shares that most SMALL investors(there is a definate distinction between small and big) buy on the OTC,pinks and even IN SOME HEAVELEY SHORTED COMPANIES on the bigger exchanges are nothing more then markers not real shares.In fact if you were to ask for certs they would try to discourage you from ever getting them ,or beat around the bush as to why they can’t deliver them.We know if they were lent out for shorting purposes the broker gets a percentage on the transaction,and he’s not even intersted in keeping your shares in your account.For the most part it seems that all they do is pocket your money and put in markers in your account so it looks legit.With a thank you very much it was nice taking your money aditude.Then add to that the constant/blatant shorting, and you have some of the murkiest sesspool you can ever imagine happening before your very eyes.(those alligators are eating well)
Since the SEC doesn’t want to do anything about these problems .It seems the small investor has to fend for himself Here is another attempt at trying to force accounabillity from the market,that constantly disregards the small investors rights.
