Those of you who read this blog probably know about Andrew Left. He is a well-known short seller of penny stocks who has successfully identified multiple frauds.

Criminal charges filed against Christopher Nix, Andrew Affa, and three others for conspiracy to manipulate Amogear $AMOG stock

2014 continues to be a banner year not just for the SEC but for criminal prosecutions of stock promoters for market manipulation.

See the SEC’s press release about its lawsuit … Continue reading “Criminal charges filed against Christopher Nix, Andrew Affa, and three others for conspiracy to manipulate Amogear $AMOG stock”

Welcome to the Remote MDX Bashing Party, Andrew

Andrew Left of Citron Research posted an article slamming Remote MDX (OTC BB: RMDX) back on December 4th. He got a decent amount of attention for it, too. Yet he is a little late to the party: I have been on that company’s case since August 20. See my two posts from that date on … Continue reading “Welcome to the Remote MDX Bashing Party, Andrew”

Learn the secrets of reading SEC filings

Readers of my blog know me as a successful day-trader. However, before I had heard of Timothy Sykes and turned to day-trading, I had an incredible run as a fundamental short seller of penny stocks. I amassed a large amount of money by betting against fundamentally flawed companies after doing in-depth research. Now that I … Continue reading “Learn the secrets of reading SEC filings”

The Single Greatest Analyst / Investigator / Short-Seller the World has Ever Known

While I wish I were referring to myself, I refer to Andrew Left of Citron Research (see my other articles referencing him). Once again today his bold assertions of fraud were vindicated when a court ruled that Conversion Solutions Holding Company & Rufus Harris did bad things. The SEC’s press release on the matter is … Continue reading “The Single Greatest Analyst / Investigator / Short-Seller the World has Ever Known”

Quand HSOA Fait “Boum”

With apologies to Charles Trenet, Home Solutions of America just went “Boum”. Allegations of fraud by journalists, contractors, and short sellers are one thing. But to have a board member quit and list details of numerous fraudulent activities–well, that usually spells the end of a company. Following is Stephen Sewell’s resignation letter (from the SEC … Continue reading “Quand HSOA Fait “Boum””

I answer the questions my readers’ searches pose, Part II

Q: Is NNRI very undervalued? A: Ha ha ha ha. Seriously, what is wrong with you? What could be undervalued about a little over-hyped penny stock with no assets, no sales, sketchy management, and a $66 million market cap? Q: Are there problems with technical analysis? A: Yes. It doesn’t work. Actually, I have to … Continue reading “I answer the questions my readers’ searches pose, Part II”

The Ethics of Bashing Stocks

My last post reminded me of Gary Weiss’ criticism of Mark Cuban’s website Sharesleuth. Cuban pays a reporter to dish up dirt on public companies, and to fund the venture he shorts the stock of those companies before the articles are published. Cuban calls it a new business model for investigative journalism, Weiss calls it … Continue reading “The Ethics of Bashing Stocks”

The Reaper’s Guide to Short Selling Stocks

The point of this article is threefold: to associate the nickname “The Reaper” with me and my short selling activities so that when I become as famous as Jim Chanos or Manuel Asensio or at least Andrew Left, I can appear on the cover of Forbes magazine wielding a scythe (see picture below); to inform … Continue reading “The Reaper’s Guide to Short Selling Stocks”
