Tobin Smith pumps Greenhouse Solutions $GRSU

This morning I received an email from email@investorsalley.messages4.com advertising Greenhouse Solutions (GRSU) as a new Tobin Smith promotion and linking to the promotion website http://stockreportsnow.com/index.html

Considering how poorly pumps have done over the last year and how few big pumps there have been, I think it highly unlikely that the stock will go up, although I would want it to attract significantly higher volume before I short.

How to make almost $30,000 in under 30 minutes of market time

Lots of people want to know the details on this trade I had on Telupay (TLPY):

The short answer is quite simple: TLPY was announced as the new Stocktips.com stock promotion Friday at 3:43pm. I was one of the very first to receive the promotional emails and Stocktips is currently the most effective stock promoter around (I would never buy most stock promotions — they are only good for shorting) so it was all but certain that the stock would spike, at least for the first 15 minutes or so. (If you sign up for Stocktips or any other promoter, do not ever pay them for anything — just get on their free email list. And never believe what they write — they are scheming scoundrels and pumped stocks inevitably dump big.)

There was a large element of luck to the trade in that sometimes I may be early to receive the emails and other times I may be late — any stock promoter with a big email list will have to use an email service or program to manage their email list and send the emails (in StockTips case it is Aweber). By necessity with a large email list the emails can’t be sent simultaneously so it can take a few minutes to send all of them.

So, knowing that lots of people would be trying to buy TLPY over the next 17 minutes it was an easy decision to buy and buy a lot of shares. Frankly, it was not my intention to take as large a position as I did, but with OTC stocks it is hard to get orders filled so in a situation like this where I expect the stock to quickly spike I put in as many orders as I can and I route those orders to different market makers to increase my chances of getting filled. I also alerted in TimAlerts chat that StockTips had just pumped TLPY:

MichaelGoode

TLPY stocktips pump

TimAlerts

Posted Mar 06, 3:43 PM

In this case almost all my orders filled and I ended up long 355,000 shares at about $0.16. I sold 85,500 prior to the close (at an average price of $0.216) and held the rest over the weekend, selling them into the predictable gap up on Monday at an average price of $0.252. (I traded around this initial position a lot, which is why my position size on the Profit.ly trade is so large; my position was never larger than 355,000 shares though.) The initial spike when an effective stock promoter promotes a new stock is by far the most predictable part of the promotion which is why I sold into the gap up — sometimes a stock will drop big after I sell like TLPY did but sometimes it will keep going up. But my goal is to make the easy, low-risk money.

While luck plays a part in trading, and I was certainly lucky to get the email early and get good fills, it is because I know Stocktips pumps well that I was able to send lots of buy orders without hesitation. It is because I am experienced at trading OTC stocks, had hot keys set up to send my orders quickly, and knew where to route my orders that my orders were filled.

While pump and dumps overall are less common and less successful now than they were a couple years ago there are still plenty of opportunities to make money trading them (especially by shorting). If you do trade TLPY or any other pump, just be aware of the risk of SEC trading suspensions (why I never hold a long position overnight after the first day of the pump) and remind yourself that these companies are worthless and will eventually drop big. Here, for example, is a chart of the prior Stocktips pump, ECRY:

Belated Post: SEC Suspends trading in purported Ebola stocks

One thing I have noticed over the last seven years trading penny stocks is that penny stock scammers are quick to hop on any current investment theme. If oil is spiking, we will see a lot of shell companies quickly turn into oil exploration companies. If there is a spike in the price of rare earth elements, we will see a new crop of rare earth miners. Recently with the Ebola panic we had a bunch of penny stocks touting their connection to the disease. And the SEC was quick to act to suspend trading in some of the most egregious Ebola stocks.

See the chart of Lakeland Industries (LAKE) below to get a sense for the timeline over which the Ebola hype played out (LAKE is shown as it was one of the Ebola stocks that spiked the most; is a real company and was not implicated in anything):

lake

The peak of Ebola panic occurred around the 13th of October 2014. Just over a month later, on November 20th, the SEC suspended trading in four purported Ebola-related penny stocks. The four stocks that were suspended by the SEC were Bravo Enterprises Ltd. (OGNG), Immunotech Laboratories, Inc. (IMMB), Myriad Interactive Media, Inc. (MYRY), and Wholehealth Products, Inc. (GWPC).

Sarting a few days ago I started receiving promotional emails promoting Autris (AUTR) and linking to the website at http://www.risingstockadvisor.com/autr/

Stock promoter Eric Cusimano pleads guilty to conspiracy to commit stock fraud

Eric Cusimano, former owner of BestDamnPennystocks.com and related websites, pled guilty yesterday to conspiracy to commit securities fraud and to tax evasion. He could be sentenced to up to 10 years in prison. Sentencing is scheduled for March 26th. While I do think that Eric Cusimano is scum he did at least have the decency to insist that the government drop charges against his wife as part of his plea deal.

As part of the plea, Cusimano turned over over $1.2 million, two pieces of property in New York’s southern tier, a boat, several “valuable” pieces of jewelry, and $340,000 which he had stored in accounts in Panama and Belize

Of course the forfeiture is only a small portion of the over $7 million that investigators say Cusimano made over the four year period.

See these local news stories on the plea for more details:

Federal court seizes millions from former Jamestown man, sets record
Chautauqua County stockbroker pleads guilty to duping investors

I have written about Cusimano’s legal troubles a few times over the last several months:

Promoters Eric Cusimano & Jamie Boye indicted
Full text of the Bestdamnpennystocks.com Cusimano/Boye indictment
Update on USA v. Cusimano & Boye
Prosecutors close to plea deals with stock promoters Boye and Cusimano

Jamie Boye, a stock promoter who worked closely with Cusimano and who was also charged in this same case, remains in plea talks with prosecutors, and and in the mean time the trial has been adjourned until February 6th:

With respect to Defendant Boye, the parties have been actively discussing a pretrial resolution, and a draft plea agreement has been prepared and provided to the defendant for review. Additional time is necessary for defense counsel to review the draft plea with Defendant Boye and to finalize plea discussion with the
government. Therefore, the parties are requesting additional time to allow a change of plea and sentence to occur in the present case relating to Defendant Boye.

SEC Suspends trading in perennial pump Geo Finance Corp $GEFI

Three days ago the SEC suspended trading in Geo Finance Corp (GEFI). This stock has been pumped and dumped numerous times, most recently on December 9th to 11th by EpicStockPicks.com, StockoftheWeek.net, UnitedPenniesofAmerica.com, Pennypicks.net, DamnGoodPennyPicks.com, ImpressivePennystocks.com, TodaysPennyStocks.com and BeatPennyStocks.com.

See SEC suspension notice for GEFI (PDF)

The reason for the suspension was the usual boilerplate about innacurate information and potentially manipulative activity:

The Commission temporarily suspended trading in the securities of GEFI because of concerns regarding the accuracy and adequacy of information in the marketplace and potentially manipulative activity related to GEFI common stock.

The Commission acknowledges the assistance of FINRA in this matter

Continuing a recent trend of increased activity by FINRA, the SEC acknowledged FINRA’s assistance (above).

Coinciding with the recent pump the company put out two press releases on December 9th, which likely also played a part in the suspension:

IFAN Financial $IFAN Hard mailer pump and dump
