Oh, BTW, JFKjfk, notice you are another new alias, that only posts on the NSOL board, and pats technohammer on the back, since he "KNOWS".....
speaking of shorts, what do you think of this theory about schedule 13-Ds: a person is granted shares, loans them to certain fiscal institutions, thus no longer has possession, and the institutions are free to do as they wish, such as legally short, and not be "naked".....
of course, I might not be talking about this Co, just a hypothetical mussing about penny stock manipulation in general....
also, "Paper or "Plastic"????:
I have seen at least one penny stock (not talking about this Co) use a combination of paper and electronic filings (which a Co is free to do if they wish, electronic filing isn't required), to skew the appearance of their filing history, IMO....EDGAR will usually only list the electronic filings.....to see the paper filings one has to subscribe to a service such as Vickers, or contact the SEC directly to request a listing of paper filings....in the above example, the CEO filed his form 144, intent to sell, via paper, so it wasn't readily available to someone who relies on the electronic filings alone.....then he unloaded, despite the lack of a visible 144 filings on EDGAR......all legal....(hey, didn't Fred say to ride2retirement that he believed all was "legal"???)
sneaky, isn't it????....if I had a big investment in penny stocks, maybe I would shell out the subscription fee to Vickers, not cheap, but certainly cheaper than blindly assuming you're seeing all the filings when looking at EDGAR, or NASDAQ real time filings, etc:
"""Quality Control: Quality control requires a tremendous amount of vigilant attention and is the responsibility of every member of the Vickers team. The stringent quality assurance procedures include: editing, double key-entry for all paper filings and testing by proprietary programs designed to identify any unusual entries. Only after passing each of these checkpoints is the data updated and made available to clients"""
