Alkaline Water Comp Inc (WTER)

[236T568]

Or, more likely, scam company WTER is using some of cash raised in the recent private placement to pay stock promoters and manipulators to promote and buy the stock in the market to make it appear as though there is high demand for the stock

not surprised though

and why is this not surprising?

because this is what scam companies do!


Look for the WTER stock price to again drop below the $1.00 level in the coming months

Reverse Panic!

Most times panic is associated with falling prices, but in reality, it comes in two flavors.

There's the seller panic - which most of us are well aware of and needs no explanation.

Then there's buyers panic. This can even happen with multi-billion corporations, typically after big news. This is when you see a $100 stock jump $10 or $15 in a day.

In micro-caps, it's really interesting to watch. Let's say (for whatever reason) you're a larger investor and owning $100,000 of something you need to own - even if it gains 10X is meaningless - because of the size of your portfolio. A good analogy would be to ask how much time and effort would you spend to invest $0.25. Even if it goes up 10x (woohoo) to $2.50 - it's meaningless.

Well, let's dream someone needed (for whatever reason) to own $2 million worth of WTER the morning of May 2nd. That day's volume was 4,500 shares or $4,410 at $0.98. It would take 500 days to fill the order at that rate!

(In short seller jargon that's called 'days to cover')

Then if he/she looked back at March they would have seen there were days when it traded 2,800 shares, 1,000 shares and even a day when the volume was zero.

That's when buyers panic sets in. No one wants to drive a stock up with their own buying. No one.

So what a size buyer to do? You don't put up a bid for 2 million shares and hope someone who got scared by someone calling it a scam will hit your bid. In reality, that kind of behavior would send any and all sellers into hiding.

You can try to 'quietly' buy 100,000 shares a day...

While this happens quite regularly, it's a total imaginary with regards to WTER. And caveat emptor in 'big buyer' situations is what happens when the stake is fully acquired?
