The only problem with all that is that we can call paid promos pumps if someone at the company dumps. NOT. Players traders do all that. Still, you are right, we stock buyers need to watch for that when we buy. I never ever buy the pump. Well, not for years. Even the charts tell you not to. Well, there are people out there who know all that and then try to make a living out of the bad-news-dump knowing that it is going to happen naturally. Pennies fall right after ( not quite game changing) promos. Promos are good for getting your "eyes" on a stock - Not for buying. So it goes: Promo, then Eyes, then DD. And figure an entry price from there. Your price is by all counts safe. We'll see. GLTY. I Bot/Avg'd .166
In other words there are natural forces at play & some numbnuts play us for that. With enough DD you can find out exactly how much is paid for promos and for how long before you buy anyway.
The promos got my eyes here, then I watched for my entry.
New volume always also produces a spike in price. The real game begins after it falls from there and goes to work again. The excitement has to be shaken out, downward.
The exception to all this is when there is for real GAME CHANGING news. Then all goes up! We have to learn the difference for ourselves. Mike.
