The stock can open higher and here's how .........
With only 750 shares, my loss will be minimal, but if I had potential losses over $100K with criminals ready to illegally reach into my pocket, I would consider the following ......
Obviously, there will be mega illegal profits made on the short side and obviously hedge funds in the know have been working with the CEO for quite some time. Two wrongs don't make a right, but there's a sure-fire way to oppose all of the illegal activity.
I have seen many many fake PR's over the years and it's very easy to make such PR's happen. The ultimate way to get back at the crooked CEO and his band of short-selling thugs is to have a "buyout offer" released about 5 minutes before trading resumes. Simply have a fake PR released about 5 minutes before trading resumes that says "Focus Media Offers China MediaExpress $22 A Share," blah blah blah. Very very illegal, but would save people a fortune.
Submit the fake PR to PR Newswire and others with a specific time for release and when trading resumes, the stock rises, you bail as quickly as possible and leave the shorts wondering what the heck just happened as forced buy-ins screw them. Getting away with it ? It would be a total piece of cake.
About the only way to fight fire with fire in this situation.
