Most of the people on this board that have been here prior to last week know I am HIGHLY suspect of STBV/Andy, and for valid reasons that have been discovered over the past couple weeks.
With that said.... and after a great deal of DD and thinking the past few days I have formulated an idea of what I think is going to happen going forward. Sure, I could keep this to myself, but then again, WHY?
1. I'm almost 100% sure that Andy was surprised by the volume that has happened over the past 15 trading days.... "As far as the market goes we are doing great and I couldn't be happier with the volume in the stock." Andy Fellner 02/28/2014
2. We know that Andy registered the Reg A filing to sell 30 billion shares @ .00001, and to date it appears that around 12 to 15 billion have been dumped...just look at the chart and do your own calculations.
3. I'm fairly confident that if Andy wasn't able to sell all of the 30 billion prior to February 10th, that he has most likely been able to sell the remainder after showing potential investors the volume of interest to date.
4. I don't think Andy could have sold the remainder of Reg A shares to "investors" without expressing the potential of running the stock back up from the current .0005 PPS.
5. Yes, there are a TON of shares on the market already, and I think we can be fairly confident that there are going to be another 17 to 15 billion more to dump, BUT, I also have a feeling that Andy may have the ability to persuade the Reg A buyers to let the PPS go back up....that would benefit everyone involved in my mind.
6. I do believe that there are alot more PR's that are going to be coming out from Andy/STBV because he basically has to pump the stock at this point....how high will the PPS climb?...I have NO idea because it's already a fat pig with even more to be dumped going forward.
7. Is Bearpotinc real?? I'm highly suspect, but then again, stranger things have happened. I'm almost 100% positive that Andy has heard or read the current shareholders concerns over the past couple weeks, and will "play" into those concerns in order to help himself!!
8. I have no doubt that the website, Facebook and other internet exposure tools will be coming out shortly.... "We believe that the website renovations we intend to incorporate will be a key component to a significant increase in traffic, ultimately yielding in greater exposure and investor interest," stated Andy Fellner, President and CEO of Strategic Global Investments. He continues: "The Facebook page and website are set for launch soon."
9. At this point, I see STBV as selling one thing and one thing only... 30 billion Reg A shares with the "potential" of a real profit generating business by the 3rd or 4th Qtr. of 2014.
10. I own 600,000 share purchased at an average of .0015.
And for this being a scam....I have my own thoughts and the SEC has theirs!
As for NSS by MM's that "may" have sold shares in STBV that they didn't have....I think it may have happened since the MM's want to make money off the enormous volume transactions that have occurred in STBV over the past few weeks, BUT I also believe they could have easily covered seeing that the PPS is at .0005 in relation to the profits they have already made off this....That may explain the increasingly large buys we've seen come through down here.
BUT one never REALLY knows...
Regulatory enforcement actions
In 2005, the SEC notified Refco of intent to file an enforcement action against the securities unit of Refco for securities trading violations concerning the shorting of Sedona stock. The SEC sought information related to two former Refco brokers who handled the account of a client, Amro International, which shorted Sedona's stock.[70] No charges had been filed by 2007.
In December 2006, the SEC sued Gryphon Partners, a hedge fund, for insider trading and naked short-selling involving PIPEs in the unregistered stock of 35 companies. PIPEs are "private investments in public equities," used by companies to raise cash. The naked shorting took place in Canada, where it was legal at the time. Gryphon denied the charges.[71]
In March 2007, Goldman Sachs was fined $2 million by the SEC for allowing customers to illegally sell shares short prior to secondary public offerings. Naked short-selling was allegedly used by the Goldman clients. The SEC charged Goldman with failing to ensure those clients had ownership of the shares. SEC Chairman Cox said "That is an important case and it reflects our interest in this area."[72]
In July 2007, Piper Jaffray was fined $150,000 by the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Piper violated securities trading rules from January through May 2005, selling shares without borrowing them, and also failing to "cover short sales in a timely manner", according to the NYSE.[73] At the time of this fine, the NYSE had levied over $1.9 million in fines for naked short sales over seven regulatory actions.[74]
Also in July 2007, the American Stock Exchange fined two options market makers for violations of Regulation SHO. SBA Trading was sanctioned for $5 million, and ALA Trading was fined $3 million, which included disgorgement of profits. Both firms and their principals were suspended from association with the exchange for five years. The exchange said the firms used an exemption to Reg. SHO for options market makers to "impermissibly engage in naked short selling."[75][76][77]
In October 2007, the SEC settled charges against New York hedge fund adviser Sandell Asset Management Corp. and three executives of the firm for, among other things, shorting stock without locating shares to borrow. Fines totaling $8 million were imposed, and the firm neither admitted nor denied the charges.[78]
In October 2008 Lehman Brothers Inc. was fined $250,000 by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) for failing to properly document the ownership of short sales as they occurred, and for failing to annotate an affirmative declaration that shares would be available by the settlement date.[79]
In April 2010 Goldman Sachs paid $450,000 to settle SEC's allegations that it had failed to deliver "approximately" 86 short sells between early December 2008 and mid-January 2009, and that it had failed to institute adequate controls to prevent the failures. The company neither admitted nor denied any wrongdoing.[80]
In May 2013, lawyers acting for Goldman accidentally released an unredacted document revealing compromising internal discussions regarding Naked Short Selling. e.g. "Fuk the compliance area – procedures, schmecedures,"
