it makes sense to me, if someone is focused on building the actual business (and perhaps does not know the stock markets intricacies (or want to)) that they hire someone specialized here... To me what has happened to other BUYIN customers means nothing to what will happen to ADTM..... Get Real..
Ronk's FINRA record and tarnished past with the fabled Brookstreet does not lend him any credibility in the markets. Both Ronk and Brookstreet's licenses were revoked by FINRA for unscrupulous and fraudulent behavior. Now saving companies under the guise of Buyins.net is hardly a cover for furthing dubious activity. When an issuer has to retain the services of fallen angels to save them from their stock printing ways, it points back to the one printing the paper and becoming known as a paper hanger.
is, in my opinion, strictly by the market makers who are legally permitted to do it in their effort to "maintain an orderly market", and according to BUYINS.NET ...
Regulation SHO requires bona-fide market-making activities to include making purchases and sales in roughly comparable amounts. The Commission has stated that bona-fide market-making DOES NOT include activity that is related to speculative selling strategies for investment purposes of the broker-dealer and is disproportionate to the usual market making patterns or practices of the broker-dealer in that security. Likewise, where a market-maker posts continually at or near the best offer, but does not also post at or near the best bid, the market-maker's activities would not generally qualify as bona-fide market-making. Moreover, a market-maker that continually executes short sales away from its posted quotes would generally not be considered to be engaging in bona-fide market-making.
which I do believe is correct. Also, it says ...
"BUYINS.NET monitors ADTM market-makers daily for compliance with Fair Market-Making Requirements."
Now, if this is correct, it is beyond me to understand just how they can do that. Furthermore, markets makers may from time to time overstep their bounds and perhaps are able to somehow facilitate for others the ability to develop and maintain an undetected ongoing short position, but I just cannot imagine them holding a short position over night, it's just too risky in my opinion, and especially so with a stock like ADTM which has clearly demonstrated its resiliency by continuing its steady movement upward.
I really don't know where you're getting the idea that ADTM is implying anything like blaming short sellers for keeping its share price down. If you look at BUYINS.NET's disclaimer it reads in part ...
All material herein was prepared by B U Y IN S . N E T, based upon information believed to be reliable. The information contained herein is not guaranteed by BUYINS.NET to be accurate, and should not be considered to be all-inclusive. The companies that are discussed in this opinionhave not approved the statements made in this opinion.
"A third party has paid a non - affiliate $6,700 for six months of data provided in this report. ADTM has not approved the statements made in this release."
Once you have become a client we will ask you for a SYMBOL USE AUTHORIZATION EMAIL. This allows us to include your stock symbol in press releases we issue announcing initiation coverage, updated coverage, or special alerts pertaining to short selling or other regulatory issues. GlobeNewswire is owned by NASDAQ and we are an approved news provider. Our research will show up under your stock symbol on thousands of news and financial websites within the GlobeNewswire network. More specifically, Yahoo Finance has over 120 million visitors and our stories will show up on Yahoo Finance under your stock symbol.
Now, the only reason I can think of why Mr. Shareef would provide them with a SYMBOL USE AUTHORIZATION EMAIL would be to oblige this third party who paid for this surveillance monitoring and if he thought it would be beneficial to the Company and its shareholders. I would say it couldn't hurt to have BUYINS.NET provide widespread exposure to get ADTM noticed by a significant number of potential individual investors who read Yahoo! news and its message boards, plus all the other websites in the GlobeNewswire network.
As far as I'm concerned, if they want to spread the word that "Short sellers have been building a sizable position in shares" that could trigger a short squeeze, and there are people who choose to believe that and encourages them to buy ADTM shares, all the better.
I don't see how the Company and its current and potential shareholders could possibly lose ... whether a short squeeze actually happens or not, I know what I own and I'm convinced that ADTM will keep progressing and its share price will continue its march toward reaching the requirement for up listing to the NASDAQ ... if we close at $4.00 or above today and maintain that level, we'll only have 85 more days to wait before the Company can apply for up listing. :-)
And if anyone thinks for one minute that Mr. Shareef would in anyway be involved with some kind of "pump and dump scheme", it's clear they have absolutely no idea who Mr. Shareef is !!!
I also don't know where you get the idea that Mr. Shareef is clueless with regard to running a publicly traded company, as if you, like several others here, could do a better job. All you have to do is take a look at the latest press release adding "Digital Media & Finance Executive Mark Lambert to Board of Directors", and if you look further at ...
and can then tell me why Mr. Lambert, who "will lead the Company's newly-formed Audit Committee and provide leadership and guidance in corporate strategy", would accept that undertaking if he didn't think Mr. Shareef wasn't doing a very commendable job ??
And as far as dilution is concerned, it seems as though many people here forget that when Mr. Shareef took over the Company on 7-1-13 ADTM's share price was at $.075 pre-split, or $2.25 post split, and today it stands at $4.20, or $.14 pre-split. So, tell me, is that really so bad ?? Furthermore, despite a fairly recent 1 for 30 reverse split and all of the dilution, including the recent issuance of 2.31 million shares [post split] for $5.2 million in new capital at $2.25, yes, the current share price is $4.20 !! It certainly doesn't appear that investors in the know are concerned one bit about dilution, and neither am I, FWIW !!
