Merry Christmas

Christmas Eve

A cup of milk
And a wheaten cake,
And a spark of fire
For the Travellers' sake.
A door on the latch,
A light on the pane,
Lest the Traveller's pass
In the wind and rain.
Food for the fire
And candlelight
The Travellers' Blessing
On us this night.

Naked Truth Dressed to Baffle

In early February 2005, something truly bizarre happened to the shares of Global Links (GLKC:OTC - commentary - research - Cramer's Take) that thrust an unknown, pink-sheet stock into the center of a heated debate over naked short-selling.

It all started when the company completed a 350-to-1 reverse stock split -- an unusual step in itself, but one that paled alongside what came next. With 5.43 million shares outstanding and a float of 1.15 million shares, Global Links saw trading volume of 143.5 million shares in the first four sessions of February, driving the stock as low as 8/100ths of a penny.
"What happened the first week of February 2005 really took us by surprise," Frank Dobrucki, Global Links' CEO, wrote in a letter to shareholders. "It became very clear that we had no control of the volume or price of our stock in any way. Outside forces were now manipulating our stock." (Dobrucki didn't respond to requests for an interview.)

Later that month, a Michigan investor named Robert Simpson paid a cool $5,205 for 1.15 million shares of Global Links -- equal to 100% of the float. Yet, strangely, shares were still available for trading. Two weeks later, an Oregon investor bought another 180,000 shares, not in hopes of making a profit, but simply to make a point: "It would appear that my securities purchases prove that Regulation SHO has been systematically violated by market-making brokers and securities-clearing firms," Paul Floto, the investor, declared in his unorthodox filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

"I had a number of other stockholders call me and tell me they owned lots of shares as well," Floto said in an interview.

In March, Global Links became the poster child for those asserting that naked short-selling is out of control. During a Senate Banking Committee meeting, Utah Sen. Robert Bennett used the company's extraordinary trading data to browbeat SEC Chairman William Donaldson.

RagingBullRep

There is a person named magikmakr03 who has just posted on the CRGO forum (post 13746) claiming that he has the name and direct phone number of the "Supervisor of the RagingBull TOS dept". He goes on to claim that he has previously used this access to have other specific posters suspended. Is this legal? Why is this person allowed this type of access? Here is the link:

http://www.ragingbull.lycos.com/mboard/boards.cgi?board=CRGO&read=13746

This poster has been actively engaged in manipulating the CRGO stock by using lies, inuendo, and slanderous remarks targeting the company management. He is one of several who have conducted this coordinated and ongoing attack for months. I have filed several TOS complaints on each of them, yet they are still active and their accounts have never been suspended. While I have been TOS'd several times for standing up against people like this. Do you think this is legal? Do you approve of this activity? Are you being compensated in some way by this activity?

This does NOT look good. It appears that RagingBull and Lycos have become a "willing tool" of an organized gang of criminal stock manipulators operating one many forums using different alias. And today, there is now proof of this; a "smoking gun" of sorts. It appears that RagingBull is allowing these criminals to operate freely, while decent and honest investors are routinely thrown off the forums, based on specific input from these criminals stock manipulators.

Care to comment about this online here?

(I didn't think so)

You may rest assured that I am fileing (yet another) complaint to the Security Exchange Commission (not that it will do any good). I have lost substantial money on stocks that have been manipulated on the RB forums. It is now obvious that RagingBull is providing a venue and some sort of "umbrella of protection" for this ongoing criminal activity. As a citizen, I am going to do my part to see that Lycos is held responsible for this.

I will be back to give you an update of my progress.

Still No Details..

The last PR was enticing but we need to know the details.
