Bob I merely responded to your post as you wrote it and yes I am aware that front running is a market maker tactic but it is also an unethical practice by market makers, financial advisors that they trade an equity in advance to information by their analysis department and before their clients have been given the information.
One example of front running are analysts and brokers that buy up shares in company XYZ just before the brokerage is about to recommended the stock as a strong buy.
Another example is a broker who buy's himself 200 shares in stock XYZ just before his brokerage was planning to buy a large block of 400,000 shares.
By your statement you bought prior to a large investment being made. Sales pitch or whatever you wish to call it you can see where what you posted has certain concerns that can be raised.
Also front running is what the internet does before a Newsletter email campaign and what not and sell into it.
It is also consider the first part of a P&D or a "Scalp" but angain I merely interpreted what you posted. It is very damaging in the context you posted it.
If I have mis interpreted what you posted then fine but I dealt with what you stated.
Promising potential buyers prior to what you are investing does not look good and cpuld lead someone to make the assumption I did and did BOP with inside information. Most of these type private placements dealys on fundamentals not on potential future buying.
