Good Morning airdae1 et al!!!!
That report and the data it contains seem very odd to me. I am sure there is naked shorting going on, or at least it appears that way, but the statistical analysis leaves some questions in my mind.
Please understand this is not bashing or negativity in any way, I am a shareholder. I left a few weeks ago and came back last week, and I am sure glad I did!! I respect the company, its products and those leading it. However, this report looks fishy to me.
I do not know about this company that runs buyins.net, and if anyone has any DD on them it would be helpful. The thing that seemed strange about the report is that the numbers seem to be very consistent from month to month. I thought that any kind of shorted share count would vary slightly from month to month, but in this report EVERY SINGLE MONTH the short volume is EXACTLY 7.7% of the total volume. It is as if someone used Excel to drag down a column to fill it in with data (apologies to non-Excel users who may not know what this means). In other words, it seems fabricated.
Excel users - simply copy the data into Excel, use the text to columns feature to give each data element its own cell. Add a new column after the Total Vol. and Short Vol. columns. In the new column in the first row after the header, divide the Short Vol. by the Total Vol. to get the percentage of Total Vol. that the Short Vol. represents. Drag it down for the rest of the rows and you will see the same value appear in every cell. No extra decimal places required - they are all exactly the same.
My point is that every month from November 05 there has been exactly 7.7% shares shorted per month. This just doesn't sit well. Who made up this data, can it be verified, and is this something that Don is paying almost $1,000 per month of our money to them to put out this report? Has anyone checked any other equities from this site to verify it? I did not because every move on the site asked me for membership, etc. I was not going to join anything until I know what it is all about.
Or maybe my math is wrong and I am missing the whole point...
I am very excited about where CTUM is heading, and I do not want the bashers, etc. to pick this apart and introduce all the FUD like they do on some of the other boards, so if anyone has anything to add or if you could educate me in this, I would be grateful. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me with this.
Let's make it a good day today - green and happy are the two prerequisites for sunset tonight!
