Well, I suppose that the FLD might work in theory, with 100% trust and perfect coordination (and an honest-to-goodness short interest out there to make it worthwhile).

It'd still be attempted market manipulation.

"ctrumagll", The FLD Theory SIMPLY CANNOT WORK by intself. Even if played perfectly and you see the PPS increase, you simply will never know when to sell until the game is up and the eventual landslide begins. Even with 100% trust and coordination, people MUST eventually sell. Earnings growth must give a reason for new investors to show up. Otherwise, who will the faithful sell to, ONLY the inexperienced investors this board is currently trying to bring in so they can get out with what they can.
CDIV simply shows bad #'s and a FLD promise. Eventually the team-players must sell their millions of shares, which is whats happening now.
If CDIV can show audited and blowout #s, then it will run again. If not, their lucky to be where they are, simple as that. Just dont put any more faith in this FLD crap
I wish you the best of luck and hope you dont buy into the old faithful here just trying to dump their shares into your account.

Stock investing is a zero-sum game. The FLD CONcept could never pay off for the majority.


Zero-sum
From Wikipedia
In game theory and economic theory, zero-sum describes a situation in which a participant's gain or loss is exactly balanced by the losses or gains of the other participant(s). If the total gains of the participants are added up, and the total losses are subtracted, they will sum to zero.
