the old dump and pump.. sort of a reverse to the pump and dump a lot of scam stocks do.. I get mailers with the "next best thing" stock.. it trades around 1.50 or so and it expected to hit 5 dollars soon.. get in now and ride this rocket..
when you see the stock chart it was at .05 cent 90 day earlier and with the mailer it has gone up to 1.50.. so you buy in and it get to about 1.75 and starts dropping.. they put out a bogus PR and it holds a bit.. all the while the principles are sell the h@ll out of this pig.
soon it drops to .50 and a lot get out after loosing $1 per sharea.. the rest keep hanging on waiting on that next good news to drive this up.. it never comes and in 6 months the stock is .00001..
wish i had the money to by apple when it was $80 or recently when it dropped to 530.
