Yes, it is rather interesting that there is a dedicated group of manipulative shorting bashers who go to great lengths using much time and effort to twist and distort the investor perspective as it relates to the RFMK story. Meditate on this I have and I have come to a reasonable explanation which is that perhaps the group of colluding bashers attack RFMK because it is in the collection of stocks which could see great stock activity soon. Perhaps the bashers focus on only on those micro cap start up stories which are just starting to show signs of life and potential to really break out. It makes sense because many OTC and PK tickers on the exchange represent companies for which not much is happening. Many of them are either dead or dying or still operating but have not had any news items for a long time and do not show any clear signs that they have the potential to go on a big run on major company news and developments any time soon. It makes sense that they would focus their energy into the few stocks which could become "hot" penny stocks soon for a host of reasons.
One main reason is they wish to only play their deceptive games in stocks which even have a chance to have a big stock run. Why would they wish to waste time on working to bash or pump other stocks which may have no news or developments for a long time and so no catalyst or excuse to run up the stock artificially, it would make their game too obvious. This brings us to the second possible reason, concealment. If the stock they are working already drums up signficiant volume then whatever phony matched and manipulated trading their Canadian hedge fund friends use to game the traders and investors in the stock will be relatively hidden; their fake price and volume activity will be among hundreds of millions of other shares trading at a quick pace during such a run so this offers concealment. Another reason is that if they are already working hard to bash a certain stock for which the company is actually doing quite well but the market for the stock is so manipulated by their bearish sentiment, then their activity serves to coil their potential for such a run on the stock, like a spring, because meanwhile fundamental positives are consistently getting ignored and every time the company comes out with more great news they just make the pps fall another few ticks on low volume and bash some more. As this continues, it serves to build them up a very nice scenario whereby they control the majority of the sentiment surrounding the stock yet the stock has been crushed down to the "cellar" on false beliefs, negative speculation, rumors and innuendo. So the true value where the stock should be becomes very far away from the current price, so that when they finally all decide to turn off the bashing and get in, their own buying begins the huge run which gives them more certainty as regards the price levels and volume to expect from whatever run their actions instigate. Its all very deceptive but this is how the crony group of jackals work in the scum swamp of the penny stock market. They collectively swarm a certain set of stocks to systematically control sentiment and pull the stock down to the gutter and then make it fly. Then , whenver it suits them best, after the stock has had a major run, they dump all their shares and begin massive shorting, this causes the run to end and the stock turns over. They then begin covering all the way down AS they naked short sell tons of phantom shares (typically, not in the case of chilled stocks in a trade for trade like RFMK), which makes the stock fall back to the "cellar" and all the investors who bought during the run are scammed out of their money by the pump and dump these basher groups create. Then to add insult to injury, once they have pumped and dumped the stock, they come out again in swarms and trash the sentiment once again by personally attacking shareholders and management claiming that they were always right in that the company was obviously a pump and dump because, hey, look at what happened to the stock, it must have been company insiders pumping the stock up so they could sell tons of unregistered shares and scamming investors.
They specifically choose to target these kinds of stocks, like RFMK, because they are ripe for a change and they can play their games and maximize the potential for their games to bring them gains if the story is set for a huge move. They set up the pins, and then they knock em down, that is how they make money. Until the SEC investigates these clowns I imagine they will continue to operate, offshore and using foreign hedge funds and MM firms to NSS all they want because in those countries, unlimited naked short selling is allowed, and any talk of margin requirements ($2.50 per share to short) is meangingless because it only pertains to individual retail shorters, not those colluding with foreign firms to NSS. For now it seems the only way to sidestep such a basher game is to get management to realize that the key to not becoming a victim of their abuses is to get off the pink sheets exchange. I think RFMK management is well aware of this and has plans so shareholders can be confident in knowing that the basher game has a time limit on it right now, these clowns only have so much time to do their tired old pump and dump game on the stock, so like I always say, TIC TOC .....
