Lexington Resources (fka LXRS)

[lj1917]

Following are just my thoughts, and I am no market expert. However, I have spent quite a bit of time the last few days researching the pattern of operations in these companies that pay to be hyped as a "hot stock" or "the next big thing." I believe the big dips are almost certainly caused by the short-sellers. At least part of the price recovery comes from the ongoing, paid publicity for the stock, which brings in regular buyers. At least two paid releases for LXRS have gone out since the price drop, both suggesting (but very carefully not recommending) that the company could be a good investment because the investor could buy in while the price is low. If I can find the links for those releases, I'll post them. The key thing to note in both releases is the disclaimer, which indicates that the release is paid for. For an overview of how this paid hype works, see this article (hope the addy works):

Also, someone asked recently if there is any connection between the publicists who are hyping LXRS and the people associated with ICI. I found one interesting connection. A few years back, Leonard Braumberger (current hypster for LXRS) was hyping a company called AdZone (ADZR.OB). The name of the company he was with at that time was Communique Media Services, Inc -- apparently no connection to ICI, except that it was located in Blaine, WA, which is where ICI was and is located. Odd, isn't it? BTW, ADZR was organized with the same techniques (stock exchanges, renaming of a previous company unrelated to the current business) as LXRS.
