hier mal wieder ein kleiner aber um so feinerer Text für Euch, :
NAKED SHORT SELLING PENNY STOCKS
YES, IT CAN BE DONE.
How share price manipulation works-just one example:
What happens is complex, and involves the offshore lender, US
Brokerage firms, and Canadian Brokers. The lender calls his broker,
who is instructed to short sell the company's stock into the ground.
Short selling involves the selling of imaginary shares into the
market in the hope that the price will drop, and the short seller can
then "buy back" the shares (that they never actually owned in the
first place) at a cheaper price, and pocket the difference. Once a
stock is sold short, a seller (or their broker) must cover their
position by "borrowing" shares from other stockholders (usually those
shares that are held in a brokerage house, such as ETrade,
Ameritrade, etc.), and sell them into the market. Sound unethical,
and bit confusing as well? Maybe, but it is a legal practice that has
flourished unchecked for years. The real problem arises when the
short sellers dump so many "imaginary" shares into the market that
the selling overwhelms any buying pressure, and artificially causes
the stock price to crash. And this is exactly what the lender and
their cohorts do.
Canada: Co-Conspirators From The North
In order to sell short enough shares to truly cause the stock to tank
in price, the broker often has to sell more shares than they can
"borrow" from legitimate stockholders. This practice is known as
naked short-selling (meaning the short sellers never intended to
cover their position by borrowing real shares from legitimate
stockholders). There is only one problem. Short selling is illegal in
over-the-counter stocks (known as OTC, or penny stocks), and naked
short selling any stock is illegal. That's where the Canadian
connection comes in. While American brokers have to follow the
National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) rules, Canadian
brokers don't. Canadian investors and brokers are allowed to sell
short as many shares as they want, and never have to borrow the
shares from legitimate stockholders, effectively flooding the market
with counterfeit shares. In fact, they can legally sell more shares
into the market than even exist in the entire float. So, to
circumvent the rules, the American brokers funnel their short selling
activities through their Canadian connections. If there are buyers
for a million shares, they short sell three million into the market,
and on and on, until the stock price eventually collapses under the
weight of millions and millions (or billions and billions, if
necessary) of fake shares flooding the market.
The Payoff:
So, in simple terms, our lender loans the company a small part of the
money they promised them and then immediately calls their co-
conspirators in America and Canada, who then flood the market with
hundreds of millions of counterfeit shares, causing the share price
to collapse. Often, as an insurance policy, bashers are hired to
discredit the company on stock message boards such as RagingBull, in
effect creating an even darker picture of the company. Then, the
lender converts the loaned money into shares of company stock, not at
80% of the nickel stock price that the company envisioned, but at 80%
of the market price after they've effectively manipulated the stock
price down to almost zero. Instead of the few million shares that the
company expected to give the lender, they are forced to give them
hundreds of millions (and sometimes even billions) of shares. The
lender turns around and dumps those shares into the market, and the
price is driven even lower, and they collect their next payment in
shares at an even cheaper price. This type of arrangement has become
known as "death-spiral financing", because the company is often
driven into bankruptcy by the lenders, their American brokers, and
their Canadian cohorts.
