Short sellers are always lurking around the corner. They exploit opportune times like low volume days, key dates like earnings releases ...to place sell orders of as low as 1 share per order at lower and lower asks. This short ladder down technique aims to trigger stop loss orders and scare others out of their positions. This coordinated shakeout is very profitable as many retail investors are unaware of it.
I will keep reposting this message as new shareholders join in everyday. If you know what is at stake and how short sellers are trying to stop you out please ignore.
For those who are new take the time to study it. It will greatly benefit you.
I Warn all Canadian investors that this stock is manipulated by short sellers. To verify my claims watch the tape on stockwatch and follow put options and stock futures and contracts for difference.
Stop loss hunting trap:
You will avoid the shake out trap if you understand the mechanics behind short selling. Hedge funds walk away with billions every year from hard working Canadians trying to prepare for their retirement. They place orders as little as 1 share at decreasing prices until the price drops significantly enough to trigger stop loss orders that some unsuspecting retail investors automatically place to protect their downside. Example: I place 15 sell orders at strategic times (when liquidity is very low, at the beginning or end of the trading session)
1- sell 50 shares at 1.77
2- sell 50 shares at 1.75
3- sell 50 shares at 1.74
4- sell 50 shares at 1.72
5- sell 50 shares at 1.71
6-sell 50 shares at 1.80
7-sell 10 shares at 1.68
8-sell 50 shares at 1.67
9-sell 50 shares at 1.65
10-sell 50 shares at 1.62
11-sell 50 shares at 1.61
12-sell 1 share at 1.60
13-sell 5 shares at 1.66
14-sell 50 shares at 1.65
15-sell 12 shares at 1.60
By sacrificing a few shares at a discount hedge funds can trigger the sale of thousands if not millions of dormant shares owned by naive retail investors who placed stop loss orders on them and that brokers and short sellers are happy to scoop up to cover their shorts and hoard them for when the stock starts rising up again.
Short sellers use derivatves like put options and futures to manipulate the underlying stock all under the radar.
Fishing for liquidity
Imagine being a farmer looking for water. You start digging a well. 10 meters deep no water, 20 meters deeper still no luck so you keep digging deeper and deeper hoping to find enough water to justify the investment and time spent digging. Now imagine a bunch of short sellers who sold millions of shares short and are digging/fishing for stop loss orders or people who will be forced to sell at a certain price (those who bought on margin and can't honour repeated margin calls for more cash as the price keeps going down…) that will allow them to cover their shorts. Short sellers will do anything to push, force or convince you to sell because they are sitting on millions of shares that they must buy to cover their short positions.
Imagine that I assume that there are enough shareholders that will be shaken out if the price is low enough.
Imagine that I assume that there are enough shareholders that will be easily shaken out if the price is low enough for an extended period.
Let us call my hand a “strong invisible hand ” and those I am planning to push out weak hands.
Let us assume this one strong invisible hand will take on 20,000 weak hands(weak because of lack of resources, information, experience...). As a strong hand my favourite game is shorting stocks both directly (2 to 5%) and indirectly using put options 95 to 98%) and I have been been playing it for decades squeezing and crushing the weak hands.
The game goes like this:
- I dump a large order of 50 million shares for $6 a share
- A few months later I sell short another 30 million shares for $5 a share
- A few months later I sell short 10,000,000 shares for $4 a share
- A few months later I sell short 5,000,000 shares for $3 a share
- A few months later I sell short 3,000,000 shares for $2 a share
- A few months later I sell short 2,000,000 shares for $1 a share
- At the end of this special operation (bear raid) spanning many years my strong hand would have sold short 100 million shares for $513, 000,000 ($5.13 per share on average) bought by some 20,000 retail investors who are now faced with two options :
1Surrender to my shakeout and sell for $1 and realize their paper loss.
2Realize I am a financial bully fishing for liquidity and hold the line against my wish until I get squeezed for thinking I could squeeze 20,000 hands.
If all hands are weak and sell at $1 like I hoped my strong hand walks away with over $400 Million dollars.
It is a big game that is why I can afford paid bashers who hunt down and trigger your stop losses, spread fear, uncertainty and doubt and intimidate and ban all posts who are too incriminating or detailed about the inner workings of my methodologies.
