I bought shares in a pump and dump a few years ago. They doubled in two weeks. And over a few days in particular, they took off like a rocket. And then they deflated like a popped balloon over the next week. Then after reassurance by certain posters that the stock indeed had announcements coming, new contracts and all was still good, they climbed again, this time only half as much but all the newbies jumped in for more to level their losses. And the next time they fell further. Finally someone 'walked by' the Hot Copper thread of that stock and said those three words "Pump and Dump." And that's what it was. I won't name that stock but today it sits at circa 0.20c. Nowhere near it's once heady heights of $1.
Once bitten twice shy. I am looking at BRN and seeing some worrying things there but I hope for those stock holders that BRN really is the answer to Tesla and Nasa. It's a brilliant concept. In Z1P, I see a different possibility - and not a pump and dump at all. Z1P is a very good stock and an excellent product, but IMO, nothing will be a close runner to APT IMO. APT achieved first mover advantage long ago in the way of XRO.
