THE DEADLY ART OF STOCK MANIPULATION
In every profession, there are probably a dozen or two major
rules. Knowing them cold is what separates the professional from the
amateur. Not knowing them at all? Well, let's put it this way: How
safe would you feel if you suddenly found yourself piloting (solo) a
Boeing 747 as it were landing on an airstrip? Unless you are a
professional pilot, you would probably be frightened out of your wits
and would soil your underwear. Hold that thought as you read this
essay because I will explain to you how market manipulation works.
In order to successfully speculate, one should presume the
following: THE SMALL CAP STOCK MARKETS PRIMARILY EXIST TO
FLEECE YOU! I'm talking about Vancouver, Alberta, the Canadian
Dealing Network and the US Over-the Counter markets (Pink Sheets,
Bulletin Board, etc.). One could also stretch this, with many stocks,
to
include the world's senior stock markets, including Toronto, New
York, NASDAQ, London, etc. The average investor or speculator is not
very likely to have much success in the small cap crapshoots. I guess
that is what attracted ME to these markets. I have been trying, for
quite some time, to answer this question, "How come?" Now, I know.
And you should, too!
By the way, the premise of these books is uniformly: "While
these speculative companies do not actually make any money, one
can profit by speculating in these companies." THAT is the premise
on how these markets are run, by both the stock promoters, insiders,
brokers, analysts and others in this industry. That logic is flawed in
that it presumes "someone else" is going to end up holding the dirty
bag. Follow this premise all the way through and you will realize the
insane conclusion: For these markets to continue along that route,
new suckers have to continue coming into the marketplace. The
conclusion is insane in that such mad activity can only be
short-lived.
I disagree with this premise and propose another solution (see my
earlier essay: A Modest Proposal) at the end of this essay.
What the professionals and the securities regulators know and
understand, which the rest of us do not, is this.
"RULE NUMBER ONE: ALL SHARP PRICE MOVEMENTS --
WHETHER UP OR DOWN -- ARE THE RESULT OF ONE OR MORE
(USUALLY A GROUP OF) PROFESSIONALS MANIPULATING THE SHARE
PRICE."
This should explain why a mining company finds something
good and "nothing happens" or the stock goes down. At the same
time, for NO apparent reason, a stock suddenly takes off for the sky!
On little volume! Someone is manipulating that stock, often with an
unfounded rumor.
In order to make these market manipulations work, the
professionals assume: (a) The Public is STUPID and (b) The Public
will mainly buy at the HIGH and (c) The Public will sell at the LOW.
Therefore, as long as the market manipulator can run crowd control,
he can be successful.
Let's face it: The reason you speculate in such markets is that
you are greedy AND optimistic. You believe in a better tomorrow and
NEED to make money quickly. It is this sentiment which is exploited
by the market manipulator. He controls YOUR greed and fear about a
particular stock. If he wants you to buy, the company's prospects
look like the next Microsoft. If the manipulator wants you to desert
the sinking ship, he suddenly becomes very guarded in his remarks
about the company, isn't around to glowingly answer questions about
the company and/or GETS issued very bad news about the company.
Which brings us to the next important rule.
