If the company was trying to screw everyone from the get go, then I'm really surprised that they responded to my emails (posted to board earlier). I would have thought that they'd just ignore them. And, just out of curiosity, why would the insiders dump right when the promo started? They would have made so much more money once the promo heated up. I wonder if we'll ever find out what really happened.
They just won't let this break .30!
Here's the response from the company when I asked them to tell insiders to stop dumping. I am actually impressed that they are responsive......
No insider is dumping.
Email FINRA and ask them to blue sheet the trades

Thanks for the reply. I read the release. It's not the shorts. Please tell Eco-Trades insiders to stop dumping shares so the pps can recover. It's a shame that their greed took the company down so quickly. No one is going to want to invest in BOPT in the future. I know I won't be!

It will be very interesting to see how this plays out. Unfortunately, the bad guys already made off with the $$. It's highly unlikely that they'll be caught.
So what happens to unsettled $$?
A lawsuit will do nothing but waste more $$$. Cut losses, learn lesson, move on......
Darn. Wish I would have just sold the shares earlier today. Could have at least taken a tax write-off then!!!!
You're not alone.... I bought some at .28 as well!
How can you say that anyone that got smoked here deserved it? I'm one of those lucky people and I see no reason why I deserved it!
I just shook my head and thought "go figure" as I watched the pps drop....and drop.....and.....you get the point! I'm still holding my shares. At -75%, might as well just let the rest ride.
I wonder if SMA was caught off guard by this. It's hard to believe they would kill their "reputation" like this. They had to have known that they would lose a ton of followers. Maybe this was a last hoorah for them and they didn't care what happened. It will be interesting to see what happens.
I got burned big time on this. My first, and now last, SMA play!!
My buy went through just fine.....
I just bought HIDC through ETRADE. No issues....
Is it too late to join the party?
Sure the SEC could step in, but these pump & dumps happen so fast that by the time they catch wind of what's going on, it's too late. There is money to be made on APS plays, you just have to know when to walk away.
Salvage what you can, learn from this play, and wait for the next one.
Something about GOFF makes me uneasy. It could be the murder for hire thing.....or the fact that I think of the big orange giraffe GEOFFREY, from the Toys-R-Us commercials every time I type it.... Anyway, I'm out. Can't wait for the next play!
Good luck to anyone that's still in! I hope it goes green tomorrow for ya!
Oh yes, I'm just in denial I guess. Haha, right! It's just entertaining when people like you come on here screaming "this is a pump & dump", "they only have assets of $5k on the balance sheet", "it is way over-valued"....etc. This is not news to us, we all know that already!!!!!!!
Chill out. Worry about yourself.
Bye bye GOFF....it's been fun!
I agree. No one is on here crying about how their kids are gonna starve now because GOFF dropped, as we all knew it was going to do. The only surprise to me here is that's its not in the teens yet!
I'm back in! Let's see some action!
Classy!
I think they held the pps down too long and people lost interest.
I think APS will be silent today....
I'm pretty much out for now. Kept a little bit just in-case, but nothing I can't afford to lose completely.
The volume is so low. I think people are losing interest, myself included. I think I'm out soon!
Some brokers have scanners available so that you can be alerted when certain market conditions are met. You set the conditions and there are tons to choose from. I use a scanner that is available as part of etrade pro. I have mine set to alert me when a block of GOFF stock over a certain amount of shares is traded. I've been watching for huge blocks that may signal APS dumping.
The day traders you reference are likely looking for companies that have recently had a lot of share activity when they've had little, or most likely none, in the past. This could be a sign that the company is getting ready to unleash the shares for a promotion.
How come???
What's the 1.5M trade at .58?
This is definitely strange... If today was the dump, I guess I don't understand why we are still in the .30's and not in the teens....unless they're gonna pull the rest of the rug out from under us tomorrow?!
There is no "u" in Colombia!!
You welcome! It's hard to say where this is going. If I had to guess, I would say to high .4's at least.....but who knows.....
Agreed. This is not over yet.
Well if it is, APS sure did a great job of scaring the $hit out if everyone during the calm!
TaxiCaT, do you remember what the volume was on day 1?
Awesome profit!!!!!
Usually when the big dump happens, the pps seems to free fall into the teens. I just don't think this is it. Only APS knows! We shall see!
