What Paid Promotional Stock Mailers Actually Look Like

A few weeks ago, I found a great little message board that focuses specifically on the reporting of paid promotional stock mailers. Shady “companies”, shareholders and stock promoters pay services/professionals to send out hundreds of thousands, or millions (depending on their budget), these wholly absurd/inaccurate promotional pieces, that you gotta learn to love–not detest–cuz they’re dead giveaways of pump and dumps, which are perfect for PennyStocking profits!
Typically great stocks to sell short for quick drops off of multi-day spam-induced spikes and for the long-term, you gotta be careful cuz lately scummy spammer stocks like 4imprint Group plc (FOUR), FORCE ENERGY CORP (OTCBB:FORC) (FORC), Hybrid Technologies Inc. (OTCBB:HYBR) (HYBR), KENTUCKY USA ENERGY INC (OTCBB:KYUS) (KYUS), MAXLIFE FUND CORP (OTCBB:MXFD) (MXFD) and JAYHAWK ENERGY INC (OTCBB:JYHW) (JYHW) haven’t stayed down for very long…even if there’s a 99% certainty they’re destined to fail/have their stocks trade under 10 cents/share.

Here’s the message board creator, Peter Michaelson’s, unsurprisingly similar take on the subject (hard to think of the any of other way) and below that are pics of some recent mailers:

A mailer is a hard copy brochure or letter urging the recipient to invest in a particular stock. A paid mailer is one which has been paid for as described in the SEC required disclosure statement included with the mailer.

Over the years, my experience has showed that a paid mailer is a nearly infallible indicator of a ‘pump and dump’. The mailer is the pump. The stock often rises at first. Over the next several months the stock price falls as the promoter who paid for the mailer repays himself several times over by selling stock into the buying precipitated by the mailer.

Mailers usually use plenty of exclamation points and hyperbolic language. They sometimes even ask what you will do with the profits you make investing in the stock.

Paid mailers are junk mail!!

I hope this becomes a useful tool for investors.

Who Is Timothy Sykes And Why Should I Care?

See Tim's full bio HERE. Tim turned a few thousand dollars into a few million by taking small gains time after time on hundreds of volatile penny stocks, discovering that his trading strategy, while consistently successful, works best for those with smaller accounts.

Determined to teach others this PennyStocking trading strategy (learn more HERE), he went back to his original $12,415 roots (already $58,000+ even though the stock market has crashed) to show everyone how to turn thousands into millions, even while having a life (somewhat) and making plenty of mistakes. Currently he is the #1 ranked trader out of 25,000+ on Covestor)

How Can I Consistently Make Money In The Stock Market?

Hard work, Determination and Know How.

Hard work to learn how the greatly misunderstood niche of penny stocks provides opportunities every now and then on which you should pounce.

Determination to seek those probable profits out and know how in order to actually profit from them.

Long story short, wait for stocks that are extremely volatile - for whatever reason - and then aim to take small profits (between 10 and 50% within a few hours, days or weeks) here and there, either from betting on higher or lower prices (yes, you can make $ betting on lower prices, it's called Shortstocking (learn more HERE).

Why Penny Stocks?

As Tim explains in several ALL-NEW instructional DVDs (see them HERE) and in over 2000+ blog posts, penny stocks are the most hyped and corrupt niche in the entire investment world. These two qualities make them the easiest to profit from (legally) because the vast majority of people who play penny stocks are suckers and all-around ignorant people. If you have any intelligence whatsoever, you have a clear advantage and it's like playing basketball against mental midgets.

Where Do You Find Stocks To Trade?

This is the #1 FAQ (see more HERE) and it is answered in THIS instructional DVD.

Of course, that's just a brief introduction - to receive a full education, there is Tim's book An American Hedge Fund which is the story of his remarkable rise and lessons learned.

To truly increase your odds at profit, Tim has designed an entire set of detailed instructional DVDs, covering all the variables that amount to over 24 hours of instruction (see them all HERE)!
