American Energy Production: Short Squeeze of the Year


American Energy Production Inc. (OTC: AMEP) is a prime example of a major short squeeze in progresss. On February 22, 2005, the company's shares hit a long term base when company management discontinued the Form 2-E offering which disclosed that the company received $1,820,000 of proceeds from the offering through the sale of 171,000,000 million shares. With an increase in outstanding shares to near 306,171,168 million, the company's shares took a dive to the sub-penny level, but finally bottomed out because the company was seeking alternative financing that was less dilutive. Eventually, good news about the company started to come out, including the most recent in which American Energy's subsidiary, Production Resources Inc. posted significant oil production increases on twelve test wells by as much as 500% for the month of August. Coupled with massive volume, the shares took a massive swing north in the month of September. It seems obvious to many traders that someone had aggressively shorted the stock, believing that it was just another dilutive penny stock scam. But with good news and volume, those same market makers who had shorted the stock were now climbing the bid to cover their shares.
