Promoting Penny Stock With Native Ads

[Graybeard]

I've been watching this for a few days every morning there's a native ad in Yahoo news for a gold mine stock that's a penny stock. I am not sure what is going on.

The landing page

You can see by the chart that every morning when the native ad runs all of a sudden there's a lot of activity in that stock and the price goes up

We are talking penny stock here 19 cents currently --15 million shares. So it's hard for me to imagine that there's enough money in this to support the cost of the ads but then again there's millions of shares.

What the value is increasing as compared to the amount purchased or traded might make this worthwhile I don't know.


However, it sure an interesting phenomenon.

let's see what happens this morning ... that ad is running again ...

 

[Graybeard]

Looks like the was a big opening increase

Is that ad working? hmmm...

 

[Graybeard]

stock is a big loser (so far) ...

 

[Graybeard]

Mabe they are shilling the market?
*FRACTAL CHAOS BANDS* have zoomed up --maybe the scale of this is worthwhile -- if anyone is paying attention

Just doesn't make that much sense?

 

[Graybeard]

Here we go again --this must be working (somehow)

POC (proof of concept?)

If this is a pump and dump it is a well funded one

LOOK at the jump in the volume this morning

 

[Graybeard]

Wednesday pre-market -- still at it --cheaper ad --TBD

problem is this is just pennies fun to watch

 

[Graybeard]

WOW the Volume from yesterday that settled overnight!
Something's happening here?

 

[Graybeard]

Still working this out because of the native ads angle --looks like a hail mary play or a pump and dump

Well this penny stock is up again and the ad on the Yahoo News feed is running. Anyone able to estimate what these ads may be costing? Looks like $22.7K has been made so far off these ads? Or is this coincidental?

 

[Graybeard]

I don't think (or didn't see) that ad Monday and this penny stock dropped
he's back!
Dropped a bit at opening and now

This is just pennies so it doesn't seem worth the expense really.

This is just pennies so it doesn't seem worth the expense really.

Maybe but it looked exciting with all that activity.

Funny that I had to find out about a gold stock in Quebec on a US site when I'm in the province next door. I've got to start paying more attention to Canadian content.

 

[Graybeard]

I was trying to figure out the pattern.
Buying the Yahoo native ads and monitoring the stock price to see what was going on.

Maybe, it was just a trial for something bigger because those ads are not cheap and the stock is just pennies.
Maybe , I can spot ads like this and trade the lows in the 'manipulation'

this is the same website -- Maybe, it's as simple as building blog traffic
expensive way. Pushing Cannabis stocks now? Made enough to buy a bag of weed maybe Those ads don't come cheap.
No endorsement nor solicitation to buy or sell. Just to see that site

I'm the furthest thing from a stock expert but this sounds a little like maybe somebody uses those articles to drive prices up.

From the article's fine print:

The Publisher cautions readers to beware that third parties, profiled companies, and/or their affiliates may liquidate shares of the profiled companies at any time, including at or near the time you read the articles on this website and this has the potential to hurt share prices. Frequently companies profiled in such articles experience a large increase in volume and share price during the course of investor awareness marketing, which often ends as soon as the investor awareness marketing ceases.

Smells a bit like the Robin Hood thingy? Or maybe just normal, I dunno.

That's the CYA disclosure lolz
Standard practice for these sort of things

Pump and dump is very common

I've now come to the conclusion that penny slots are more fun than penny stocks. For me, I mean.

Nice analogy
