Chenzo, yes the retail investor does count


Sure, we're small fish. But the hard-core PPHM'ers (maybe 100 of us) are just the obvious ones. Many thousands more own shares. If MM's, hedgies, and other big players can shake 5k shares out of 5,000 retailers, that's 25 million shares, which ain't too shabby.

At $10 pps, that $250 million dollars. At $40 pps, that's a BILLION dollars.

Not too bad for a few small fish, huh?

chenzo, remember KTs post with the thought exercise that had a question alone the line of:

"Will small investors ever be allowed to get the leverage of there investment as do the big guys." (not exact wording)

That is what I meant with the 'they are after your stock' concept.

With what we know now PPHM is a winner. As of yesterday it is just a matter of when! So as of now EVERYTHING will be done to get those 137 Milj shares out of the small investor.

There are things that work VERY well (well they did at the time I guess they still do):
- Make them SHORT and BUY but do not release the shares back (=lower liquidity). That the shorter can't cover isn't there problem!

- Make them sell by pps movements (head-fakes, wash & rinse, bear attack alike movements, fake rumors, undermining misinformation, seed fear, etc)

- Bore them to death. Long sideways, keeping a lid, take away short therm perspective (even if there is just call it a non-event), in short do everything to make the investor think he'll be long death before anything will happen.

- One, which they don't really control, is drive the investor through a crisis (real estate, banking, economic, etc) so that he needs money an needs to sell.

And yes, KT was correct! Many people succumb to all that and end up seeing the pps when it is 150$ after 3 splits and thinking they shouldn't have sold.


As long as those things happen the weak hands go down! Without any exception, down! If you are a pre-split long term long holder that was there at 0.30 cent post split then you'll probably be there for the end-game to unless you die first. In all other cases its a test of character and pocket depth.
