I just came up with an idea. If we all buy enough of a company, obviously it would have to be small, we would be able to start doing some things.

The second you own shares of a company you are already part owner, but if a bunch of us got together and bought aenough shares of a given company we could really start making some moves.

Let me know if this appeals to anyone.

Kind of, but that idea was possibly illegal and people were having problems with it on this board.

What do you think?

It would kind of be the same, but instead of just selling off we could push for the company to do certain things, which might lead to good PR etc.

Take UGRD for instance.

If we were to buy enough we could push for them to donate one system to a town that had been ravaged by the Tsunami, this would lead to PR that would get the name out more, possibly leading to Buyers who want to donate their systems, just like WTER has done.

Or we could just all buy up a company and then the volume alone would push the price up, but we don't pump it, because that would probably be illegal, I don't know though.

If you buy up a company, you would then be on the board of directors. Then I could just run the company. I'll be CFO.

Thanks!

I'm serious though, not so much about making things happen within the company, but buying up a whole bunch of stock in one.

Basically what you said yesterday, without the pump and dump, which would get us kicked off the forum.

I already have about 6 people who said they would do it. Just let me know.

Its tough to keep everyone interested in staying in the company. Lets say we all buy a company and it barely moves or moves big but then falls big. Most people would not stay in for the long haul.

All we have to do is find one that hasn't moved that much, say 300,000 on average or lower. Then if we all buy on the same day, and I'll use a .05 stock as an example, and then sell the very next day.

Here's the deal.

Say we have 15 people who are willing to do $1000.

At .05 that comes to 300,000 shares bought.

Now when we were to buy it, the price would climb just a bit, then on top of that the volume would be two times it's norm, which will set off some peoples alerts.

They'll see the price increase and the increased trading and they'll try to jump on as well.

This will lead to the price climb that we want. We wthen sell the next day for a nice little sum.

Hypothetically we could do this 2 times a week and with a $1000 invested I don't see it being to hard to double our money each week as long as we stick to a certain strategy.


Say,

O/S no more than 100 million
( anything more would be just to much )

Nothing over .10
( wouldn't be cost affective )

Nothing that is currently going up
( To many people would al;ready be buying )

We all put in our buy orders at the same time.

We all put in our sell orders at the same time.

etc.

On top of that, we can do it like this, if we had 15 members.

Each picks a stock that fits a certain criteria, then each one will be used atleast once.

So say I picked UGRD

Tim picked NAWL

and Joerichguy picked OCRI

We would buy NAWL on Thursday and sell on Friday. Then Monday we would do UGRD and sell on Tuesday.

So basically we buy when no one else is and then when people try getting on we sell them our shares at an elevated price.

I checked with a broker and he told me this is totally legal so we would have no worries at all.

Don't forget guys that if you (one person OR a group) own a significant number of shares (in relation to the total O/S count) and try to drive the price up, then sell...you are going to crash the PPS when you all sell. Even a slow, coordinated sell-off is likely to present problems that may not be worth your time and $$. And who gets to sell first? Hope everyone is honest with each other.

The only way everyone in the group would benefit is if your input in the company's decisions was WISE and EXPERIENCED CEO kinda stuff...and not many people have that kind of business savvy, the stuff that makes a good business leader. Know what I mean?

Often the best thing to do as a trader is trade, and let the CEOs CEO. JMO of course.

This started as a buy the company thread and changed to we could pump and dump thread.

Just a question but what background do you have to think you could buy a company and give the current board advise on how to run it?
15 people 15 different opinion's on what would make it move doesn't sound like a sound business plan to me. JMHO
