Abstract
We estimate that the actual prevalence of illegal insider trading is at least four times greater than the number of prosecutions. Using novel structural estimation methods that explicitly account for the incomplete and non-random detection and hand-collected data of all US prosecuted insider trading cases, we estimate that insider trading occurs in one in five mergers and acquisition events and in one in 20 earnings announcements. Key drivers of the decision to engage in illegal insider trading include stock liquidity, the value of the inside information, and the number of people in possession of the information. Detection and prosecution are more likely when there are abnormal trading patterns and more regulatory resourcing.
From theconversation.....
Research shows that insider trading is common and profitable yet notoriously hard to prove and prevent. A recent study estimated that overall only about 15% of insider trading in the U.S. is detected and prosecuted but suggested more of it is coming to light in recent years because of increased enforcement.May 8, 2023
* obviously they mean illegal insider trading but failed to add that word.
The problem with might be all good scenario is all these sales happening not only at the same time but at the worst time. And I can't believe Babs isn't or hasn't been made aware of the effect her sales have had on the pps and in confidence levels.. I've read up on this and she could have modified her habits if SHE WANTED TO. And I don't for a second believe she's not aware of her affects. Same could said of the emu, ESPECIALLY him. This is not my idea of exercising FIDUCIARY management. Not surprisingly, he was found guilty of "lack of fiduciary responsibility" (or whatever the charge was, I forget exactly).
All the dots connect when viewed as the scheme it's always been. When not viewed in that light, square pegs have to be retrofitted to fit into found holes, to make it work.
Oh, and I forgot to mention.......as to the idea that no way would they risk illegal insider trading....it happens ALL THE TIME and many convictions. Just sayin, not as if it doesn't happen
You mean "the Profit". Can we estimate the profit? Sure........
"SURVIVED".........that makes me chuckle....
SURVIVED = we opened a vplm go fund me account and the money just keeps pouring in and we thank y'all.
"THAT BS SETTLEMENT WITH AMAZON.MADE A LOT OF LONGS KEEP ON ADDING IN THE .06 TO .11.TO FIND OUT THEY ARE RIGHT BACK DOWN TO WHERE IT STARTED."
_________________________
Absotively, posilutely correct! Can't be overstated. Many don't care so they effectively give the emu the go ahead to keep on keeping on... and what better way than via wifey? Gotta hand it to him. Beautifully executed plan and attack... Madoff would be proud. All my opinion of course.......but based on many cold hard facts that are undeniable...
Here here....and that's the same exact thing the so called BLACKOUT PERIOD announced by vplm years ago behind an implied imminent sale, had the effect of, as well as the other past lying, misdirecting, so called "offers on the table" and other similar PRs had the effect of. But when those carrots on a stick were proven to be BS, ea and every time, the shareholders let them slide with zero protest......so what does Mr emu do? He says to self.....self, they giving me the thumbs up on every crazy, non fiduciary move I make......so.......me and wifey gonna run with it. And that is the MO of the schemes born in the hotbed of pennystock schemes, Vancouver......and that TSX exchange and the OTC. ALL EXPECTED. NO SURPRISES HERE.
Hey orca, look at that chart today. Looks like a game of whackamole.
Now almost everybody realizes the bs lies the emu and co. have been feeding y'all for the last 10 yrs or so and I noted all of it along the way but those dang blinders got in the way and led to much ridicule. Shame shame shame tsk tsk tsk
Everything I've said over the entire time, whether fact, opinions or conjecture, have all panned out close to 100% indisputably.
Hohum.....zzzzz
Best advice that can be imparted here: don't ever advise peeps to buy or sell. That should be their decision solely. And never buy or sell based on someone else's advise or prompting, promoting or pumping. Equally important: don't "invest" more than you can easily afford to lose. Otc pennystocks are almost identical to the Powerball type lottery. That's fact.
Not so. All depends on phone model, browser, browser version, phones os version, or using app, etc. Doesn't look that way on my phone. And was different on previous phone as well. Peeps have to check all the menus and submenus, esp the ones that say "more" and then can find everything.
Quite right, slick
I knew the 2s would be back. Vplm LOVES the 2s! I think the all time avg has been around 2 cents so vplm is right at home and comfy in the 2s.
Oh yeah, another milestone, the 24th yayyyy! Ea great date make "best position ever" become obsolete.
Try not reading. That sounds like the definition of ignore to me...
Today's chart is almost a carbon copy of yesterday's. Pumped up early on, then slow but fairly steady drop across the whole days session until last minute or so, with a buy at the end. I think it was similar for 2 or 3 sessions previous to that as well, almost like a template. Mini p&d's?
Oop, there it is..........been waiting quite awhile to say..........
touching the two's!
Tooooo funny........and no surprise as vplm mngmt was the teacher of the lies. Their style.
As someone else said....."you don't know the half of it"....
You're absolutely right, and it should be obvious, that falling off a cliff could always be true in pennyland. I think it's especially true for vplm, given it's alleged "best position ever" status, which anyone with objectivity and good common sense, can see as a ludicrous assessment of the company. Objectivity is not easy for some who get too wrapped up in all the hype and of course, that's what the otc and pennystocks are all about. By the same token, all that "positive attitude" stuff is most likely not cared about by the stock, but it lets ppl feel better so that's ok.
Can't agree with you more about not putting or risking anymore than you can easily handle. Yet you always see those who not only say they buy millions upon millions of shares and feel the need to share that info daily. Grain of salt material for the most part. No doubt some, perhaps many, have not adhered to above sensible rules and unfortunately have lost a lot of money.
So true. Excellent mature observation, esp for those whose arms are twisted and forced to read what they don't want to see...
Well, within those relatively narrow windows that manipulation seems to keep the prices within, still, a look at the charts over the long term, will show that day trading successfully, is ALWAYS there. You just have to watch carefully, act swiftly and not be greedy. Then I see no 3 week limitation. Analysis can be done all sorts of different ways but if a trader finds a way that works in the majority of time, then this stock could've been traded on an ongoing basis. You just have to learn how to surf the waves, buy lo, sell hi without getting too attached. That said, this stock has now reached a point where doing above is near impossible or too risky. It could easily take a major plunge at any moment. It's also possible to see more spikes but less and less I feel, because for the near future, I can't see anything capable of driving it up but the current circumstances could easily see it plummet into sub pennyland. There may or may not be much if any chance to stem losses if underwater. And many are. I'm glad I recouped my losses, made good profits and repurchased or retained (been so long I can't remember which anymore) lots of shares and then sword off any more buying of vplm stock. I guess I would've been better off to keep trading, especially after I found his to make that work, but I was to afraid of it taking me again, so I opted to not. I hadn't yet learned how to keep it under my control.
I totally agree with the saying "if you bought it long, you bought it wrong". My mistake long ago was listening to those who preached staying long. Now I know that's stupid in the pennystock realm and especially with vplm.
It seems to me the pps gets locked into those narrow trading windows by the MMs and its almost always that way until someone or some group makes huge buys or sells and even then, you'll often see the pps not move in a commensurate way, which shows the MMs control. That this is a free marketplace is a total illusion in my opinion. It's totally rigged and manipulated and this can be seen often by comparing the buy and sell activity to the prices in real time. This is not even considered a real market to begin with.
So what do you get when you combine a so called market like above, with a joke of a company like vplm? You get 26 yrs of nada, nothing, zippo, in terms of investment, but it could always be day traded even with the controls and manipulation.
To be fair, there were a few who were able to get in for sub penny prices and take a profit but not too many I don't think.
Ok I'll tell ya...
He failed going after Cameron.... Twice!
He failed to have a successful Granville Hotel.....BK....
Failed at operas
Failed at children's stories
Failed with DIGIFONICA
Failed to deliver with vplm for 10 yrs
SO, TO GET BACK FOR ALL THE FAILS, HE DECIDES HE'S GONNA "WIN" THIS WAY!!! BY FORCE! BY TAKING IT!
does that answer your question?
"They are not allowed to provide details of settlements but it was all good for the company"
_________________________
Well shiver me timbers......above statement by INya pockets appears to me to categorically state that there is a good settlement. Tell me why it does not say that. Tell me why it's not divulging (or just making it up) material information not available to shareholders (well, I guess it is now...).............. illegally.
Details, details...
The more the merrier
I don't know...today's chart looks fishy to me. 1st hour pumped straight up to near 4 then slow but sure dumping all day long.....
I see it almost made into .04, but I don't think this is the pump I was predicting. either it hasn't yet occurred or maybe, as I was alluding to, it's just not pumpable anymore. It should be tho, because the marks could be newcomers who just don't know any better and don't do enough dd. I still think we'll soon see it go to 6/7 or more. I wonder how it can even maintain the 3s...
Sounds like you had a "suicide hill" as well. That's what vplm basically is... Majority would prolly agree at this point. I think what it all boils down to is that otc pennystocks have more potholes than the moon but due to the MO and lies told by vplm early on, many thought it was a cakewalk. A read if the early messages will confirm that.
Ok. Wasn't trying to correct you, but just get the numbers straight. The ironic sad thing is that so many here expected to see returns that had no decimal point in front, but now that sadly they face the reality, would take a nickel or a dime. Maybe some just jumped in on a whim of a too but there's no doubt that many got in or did much buying based on those early LYING PRs by Chang, who now hears "ka'ching" every day.
Have to agree with that... More like a gamblers hub. And like the 2nd line of "every breaking wave", it says: "and every gambler knows, that to lose, is what you're really here for"...
And maybe even more accurate would be to call it "cutthroat alley hub"
Gotta thank you for indirectly teaching me the meaning of the expression "take a flyer". Heard it many times before but didn't quite understand what it meant or it's origin. So I researched and found out it's synonymous with gamble and originates from taking a ride on the famous "flexible flyer" sled where I guess anything could happen. And I can so relate to that because growing up, my best winter play was the hill that all the neighborhood kids would sled on everyday as long as there was snow. There were 2 hill choices right next to ea other. The one on the right was a nice smoothe fun ride but the one on the left we called "suicide hill" because it was quite treacherous and you could get hurt if you weren't at the top of the sledding game. I bet many don't know that's the origin of the expression to take a flyer. Similar to "jump the shark" made famous by Fonzie. Ya learn something everyday. Here, I learned I'm never gonna see that 50¢ and at this point, you'd be lucky to see even 5 cents.
Whoa...wait a second....let's back up... I said I wanted .5 but but have given up on that. .5 is 50¢. I've been looking for just 50¢ for years and years, to sell my stock, otherwise it could rot afaic because I'm in the black with vplm in perpetuity so long as I never buy again. I got way ahead years ago and then quit trading vplm stock but still hold.
But you originally asked for .0415 I believe it was... That's slightly over 4 cents. But you changed that number to .415 in your last post which is a bit over 41 cents. You have to get your decimals right. I'm guessing you forgot to add the zero in front of the decimal point, but who knows? All I said was you might not see that 5 cents or even 4.15 cents
No....it NEEDS to get to .5
But I've accepted it's not gonna happen....
Might not even get that .0415
Do ya think sec peeps have invested in vplm.....? Just a thought
It's the new math...I think...
or...
It could be that old Winston Smith "doublespeak" or even "doublethink"...
It's an Orson Wells thing...
But don't underestimate....look what happened with "war of the worlds"
I'd like to submit this for worst post of the day....
"Some people on this board accused him of lying - WRONG! He may not tell you everything he knows, only what he is allowed to say... but he would not lie or misrepresent. Here is what he told me:"
"- Some people associated with the company are selling for various personal reasons not related to prospects for the potential results of litigation or settlement. In fact, everyone is upbeat about the near term prospects like never before."
________________________________________________________
I don't think the author or inYA is qualified to say "wrong" because obviously inYA has an obvious inherent conflict of interest and anyone staying in contact with him for 10 yrs and believing him, is biased. The significant keywords here are: WHAT HE'S ALLOWED TO SAY... Why should he be stifled or corraled in his comments about vplm after over 10 yrs with them? I happen to recall several instances reported here in yrs past where vplm mngmt had to reel him in from going to far in his comments about vplm. In one case I seem to recall something about promoting his own self or company rather than vplm. In another case, I know for a fact that he either lied or inadvertently went too far about the way the vplm 911 patent works, making claims that it could do things it could not. I commented on it in detail at the time right here, giving the facts based on what the patent language explained or described. I posted the way it actually works which was far outshined by other voip systems long in place. I believe I cited the Philadelphia system and provided a link to support it. I can't say if he purposely lied or was just mistaken and/or misinformed, but I never did see a retraction published on the website. Many here, over the yrs have also reported that he never returned their calls/messages. While others step right up to say he always answers or returns their calls. This makes me suspect that he might cherry pick certain "friendly" shareholders. That's the optics.
There have also been reports here several times over the yrs, which I have copied a few times that sound to be accurately accrued info about his last associations with only crappy loser pennystocks and some that have suffered certain consequences for their apparent shady operations. I cannot categorically state that he is guilty of what's in those news reports because the info contained therein was not amassed by me but I did find it credible enough to copy and repost. Never seen any denials or defending of himself.
So all this considered I wouldn't take his word for anything. If any of that is wrong, I apologize now. I simply don't see much cred. And vplm had to reel him in several times. Maybe some others remember that...
Sounds like written (conjured) by Rich, INya pockets, Inza...
Lol. Ok, well I guess I was thinking along the lines that a suspension is not necessarily a permanent decision, in which case it could be a matter of down, then up and then down again of course since vplm ALWAYS goes down after it goes up.....so that would fall under "follow the bouncing ball". Wondering if part of "best position ever (or best p.o.s. ever, if preferred) might be.....ok, so it's all real, not a dream and then the big ship comes in with multiple bucks per share, but THAT part only turns out to be a dream which is woke up upon arriving at the bank with the truck OR the ofc of the yacht company just as you're picking up the pen to sign on the dotted line for that 75 footer....
All I know that seems as real as it gets is that no company in their right mind, that has the bucks, is ever gonna leave such a priceless treasure lying in the middle of the road, especially not all of them for 10 frickin yrs.........IF they thought the patents were "all that" and if they knew they would be able to recoup their investment as many times over as would be the case, if it was real and IF they knew they were in fact, infringing.
