"flow of blows for bulletins".

In this section I will exemplify, in stages, how a stroke of this type (also called a pump and dump) is organized and conducted:

a) the scammers identify one or more half-stamped companies on the stock exchange, which we will call "X companies". The characteristics of these companies are typically: low stock value, stocks listed on the NASDAQ but with little or no turnover (purchases / sales), a potentially innovative sector of activity that is not well known to the general public, fairly recent foundations, unexpressive but not necessarily bad balance sheets and the existence of some reason or news that might lead one to believe that there are good prospects for growth.

b) the scammers, directly or through companies (usually offshore) controlled by them, conduct a series of purchases of shares of said companies X over a determined period of time, trying to go unnoticed and not generate alarms. Let's say, for example, they buy 1 million shares at $ 1 each (average real price) over a month.

c) scammers start creating financial information bulletins by presenting themselves as an investment information society (sometimes even creating one) and sending it to the thousands or millions of people whose emails they found on the net. The bulletin is professionally formatted and the content mixes real market information with inflated information, virtually impossible to verify, about the growth and good prospects of the X companies. The bulletin also suggests an immediate purchase of shares of companies X, forecast or prospect of growth in their value is very large.

d) They also begin to sell and buy small amounts of shares they own, between companies controlled by them and manipulating prices in a way that is always going up. This they achieve by placing, together with brokers, purchase offers for slightly higher prices of the last operation carried out and sales offers for prices compatible with this purchase price. The result is that in the price monitoring system of these stocks, next to the NASDAQ, the price will appear as slow but steady rise. If you analyze it better you will also find that the volumes traded are always very small and always more or less the same, with no big deals going on.

In these operations they lose nothing because who buys and sells are the same people, that is, money is always "in the family".

e) bulletin after bulletin they show how these actions are going well, such as a great opportunity to earn good money, how companies are growing wonderfully and steadily etc ... continue to suggest buying the shares by always putting more in the medium-short-term targets for the value of these shares.

f) when someone from the readers of bulletins begins to want to buy, they follow the market waiting for the right time and operation (or operations) of the right size. They may even sell some of their stock (depending on the case) or let someone else sell to the first buyers of the newsletters. In the meantime, prices continue to inflate with home-based operations.

g) at this point the stock price will easily have reached 5-6 USD per share (if not more). They are waiting for a good offer (or a set of offers) to buy a good volume for this amount (probably coming from one of the readers of the newsletter) and they sell all of them in a very short time ... something of a day or maximum of two days. That means they will have sold a million shares that were paid $ 1 each for something above $ 5 each with an excellent capital gain (quintupled).

h) thereafter, these actions, no longer supported by the artificial operations of the coup plotters, may continue to rise somewhat thanks to transactions between readers of the bulletins, but in the medium-short term (when, for example, successful if realized) will fall to the real value of them, or 1 USD each or less, and investors will have lost good money without having to complain. In this case hire an office specialized in actions, frauds with information direct in banks, brokers etc ...
