and that is exactly correct .. anyone who wants to verify that aspect can do what i and others did .. *contact* the sec and ask a basic ? about OTC co.s and FTDS .. it took me over a year to finally get a consistent answer to this <FEB 2011> but it's clear the sec will finally acknowledge that unless one is a squeaky wheel and contacts them about a co. .. it apparently was swept under a rug .. to be ignored ..
re: the hedge funds .. no one is saying there aren't totally *legit* ones who <cough cough> play by the rules .. i'm sure there are *some* .. but it's the ones who over the last decade *recognized* the perfect storm ~ that this is about
that is the rise of stock msg boards .. the *popularity* of the self directed 401k and IRA and of course the biggie where the hedgies are concerned .. complete lack of any regulatory *overview* let alone *basic* review by the SEC
<presumably that aspect changes in july 2011>
it was a license to steal and imo was done daily
which is why there can be *nothing* produced .. since we aren't *there* yet .. give it time and just like other factors that also need to be addressed <ie those 3rd party comps> if *done* properly ie fully transparent and <gasp> actually enforced .. that info too will be known in due course
if anyone thinks a license to steal from *retail* would be passed up by less than *ethical* folks in certain hedge funds
i have a bridge to sell them
like *many* ~ one quickly realizes .. X entities would sell and do just about anything for *profit* .. i see it *here* daily
that profit includes stocks being run and stocks being shorted it also includes the FUD FACTORY .. posts with *expertise* who in 5+ years have NEVER found one CO. or STOCK .. WORTHY .. hmmmm
and the naivete of ignoring ~ that there is no collusion between the two is just that .. or it's deliberately feigned
these <hedgies> are sophisticated *crooks* .. who completely understood <like i and others do> that the OTC is poorly watched and apparently <per the SEC> .. set up for BS .. <read fraud> .. it's very clear illegal stock manipulation was condoned and sanctioned and *several* blind eyes turned to ignore aspects over the years
as i've said to the SEC .. too bad they didn't think to tell that to the 1000 co.s that were legit that WERE DESTROYED FOR PROFIT who had no idea coming public via a r/m would be their co.s' death sentence
that no. <1000> comes from robert shapiro pertaining to NSS circa 2005
i'd suspect the no. has *easily* doubled by now ~ every one of those legit co.s employed folks .. and in time <if they hadn't already> generated revs and paid taxes .. i have to wonder why this form of ECONOMIC TERRORISM is tolerated by the SEC .. WASHINGTON & WALL STREET
are all so short sighted they can't see the forest thru the trees? or is the immediate pay out/off more important than the country's own LT survival?

10/5/07 -- there are no coincidences here ... oh and like many other longs .. not selling at this level --
