[the cork]

I don't know about the shell plays either gem, other than I know people play them like a lottery ticket. Sometimes a private company will buy the "shell" of a formerly operating public company in order to facilitate going public themselves. Perhaps somebody else here has some experience with these things.

Regardless, if a guy (or group) can pick up shares at .0001 and hype it to .0002 they've doubled their money.

I've got no problem with that, as long as they don't represent the former company as still operating. Might even be a way for the longtime shareholders to get out a little better!
