"so a stock going from .0005 to $1.93 in 3 months is a bad thing?"


Well, I would say it depends on why it did that.

5/12 HUMBL never promoted its stock & it is not their fault that it went to a ridiculous $7+.Outsiders pumped the stock through social media & those that write ignorant advice newsletters like @insidrfinancial. It was FOMO & resulting short covering that caused HMBL to go $7+.

Neither $HMBL nor I pump. Period. End of story. The share price took off due to a combination of third party hype and short squeezing. This is not the company's fault. However, tortious interference comes with a price as those guilty of it will soon discover.

There's also this which can happened if it was, perhaps, a P&D:

I bought tsnp $ high in the Fomo, about $3.70, and then Hmbl came, and that tech start up company had big growing pains, and wiped out my big investment, Forwardly too, wiped out, but still holding, underwater like everyone. This time hopefully will be different for gvsi, that the merging company will have bonafide earnings, revenue, to justify the pps, without cratering. Humbl had no earnings!!! Welcome your thoughts here.[December 26, 2022]


The pps of this ticker opened at .021 on December 27, 2022.

Then there's this when some might have gotten their ass kicked believing all the hype and thinking everything is just fine and who disregards everything "bashers" post:

I have today's chart on one of my monitors ...it's a thing of beauty....let's hope it's higher hi's and higher lows from now on ....sorta like our sista stock when it had it's time [January 31, 2024]


But FOUR trading days later -68.92%:


Gotta be a man of my word and admit that the Bashers were right all along. [February 6, 2024]


Just Sharp destroying people's lives. Underwhelming news. Expectations were higher. Yeah we'll be working forever now. [February 6, 2024]


None of that sinks in huh?

Took me a long time for this to sink in. That is BUYERS BEWARE, ALWAYS! Even with the "ole Lockjaw" tickers! wink

Lessons From Penny Stock Hold and Hopers

Ride the Hype — But Don’t Buy BS

These stocks literally…

Never. Work. Out.

You have to learn to ride the hype, to buy the hype. But don’t hold and hope. Respect the fact that it’s 99.999% likely to fail. It happens over and over again.-Timothy Sykes


From "Google U":

Pumptard
An overly optimistic stock market investor somewhat out-of-touch with reality. one who spreads false rumors with the intention of creating interest in a stock therefore increasing demand and a higher price. The pumptard sells the stock after it has appreciated and therefore benifits from the higher price. pumptards usually spread their dubious information via online message boards.


Also this from an Ihub post (on another board):

"Who ever is manipulating this stock is doing a great job. That’s how ya make money. Create a false narrative, pump pump, you get some suckers to buy, and the price goes up. Then, as you pump, pump, and pump more, you dump, dump, dump, those false narrative share right on them, to create more and more bag holders. Does that sound about right?"-Unknown iHub poster


Hope that helps.
