Yeah Pasta, no doubt in my mind we're gamed on by electronic trading. I can hardly wait for the DLA to make a press release. They're kind of unstructured though. Anything on EDGAR just seems easier to make triggers from cause the forms have to be set in STONE.

Here's an article I ran across, I can equate to the run we had when we got listed on the Russell Microcap. Then we had an autogenerated post here with more than a couple of dozen of autofilled charts on Saturday.

Like you got on steroids:) I'll find that post some other day. Thought this was interesting earlier on. Looking for a time to share it. Then you popped up (not so much on steroids:)

The Hugely Profitable, Wholly Legal Way to Game the Stock Market

<Here's the Full Story>
It’s an easy way to game the stock market, and getting easier by the day.

With some deft maneuvers, hedge funds and Wall Street trading desks are reaping hundreds of millions at the expense of index mutual funds, the investments of choice for a growing number of ordinary Americans.The tactic, in some ways, resembles illegal front-running - - but in this case, it’s perfectly fine. The traders are simply buying stocks before they’re added to the indexes that, by definition, index funds must track.

As the popularity of index investing soars to new heights, the emergence of index front-running is raising fundamental questions about so-called passive investment strategies, as well as how indexes are compiled and the role the funds themselves play in elevating costs. By one estimate, it gouges owners of funds tracking the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index to the tune of $4.3 billion a year, a sum that can double or even triple the cost of such investments.

“Portfolio managers are aware of it, but some of them will say ‘My clients demand an index fund, and I’m going to give it to them come hell or high water,’”

All I Got. Maybe some news tomorrow.

And we'll see how much shit hits our fan, or lands on our mess kit.
