When I created this book-blog-DVD publishing business model that is BullShip Press, LLC, I figured I’d repeat my feat, become the top ranked / most popular guy on Covestor, show everyone exactly how to turn thousands into millions trading fantastically predictable penny stocks without using any leverage whatsoever, cut through all the industry corruption and ego, teach a few people and many former suckers how to profit from it, and piss a few others off by promoting my book An American Hedge Fund and instructional DVD PennyStocking in EVERY blog post (cuz they’re that important / helpful / necessary and help cut down too many questions / emails I get).
Everything’s been going well—and then, a few weeks ago, I discovered some bastard using a variation of my name, “timsykus1” on the animalistic Yahoo! message boards. I did some research and discovered the term for this kind of deceit is a “sock puppet”. I thought, okay, that was bound to happen, ignore it.
Flash forward to last night when I’m doing my nightly screen for potential pump and dumps and I come upon VRML, a miserably failing biotech in the same vein as its Paulie-from-the-movie-Rocky-like relatives REED, PSTI and VION, all of which were great to short sell into. And lo and behold, who do I see promoting this thing that belongs in a toilet—yup, “timsykus1” again, using my good name—at least to those who are blind in one eye—to pump this stock!
Unfortunately for this soulless pumper, you can click his message history and see that the last dozen of his “picks” hit their highs the very same day he posted about it, before each of them nosedived over the next few days. Huh, imagine that! What are the odds?!?! LOL
After this post, he’ll probly resort to using his many other aliases, but this won’t be the last time we see of this kind of hoax—just the cost of doing business in the gutter.
Therefore, I hereby declare all who partake in such deceptive practices—when it applies to manipulating stocks—to be called “stockpuppets”. Let Wikipedia and all you who serve the Wikipedia kingdom acknowledge this term.
PS As for what I think of VRML, I am short at an $4.34 average price, I don’t want to be, I’ll probly be okay, long story, all told in the comments section of THIS post
