Smoke and Mirrors....I know about a company who’s President and associates form numerous numbered companies and do multiple deals between themselves a) making “fake news” for them b) making Shareholders happy thinking lots of deals are going down and c) making a ton of money for themselves (very incestuous way of business) This company did this for years, happily living the life while the share price (where the SHAREHOLDERS can make money) sat very low. After a few years they burnt through their money and are now stuggling to get more money and their share price is at a penny.
