Not really sure what you mean. But I re-read my post and I'm not sure what I mean either, LOL!

I guess I see these "pumps" as a firm being paid to promote a low volume stock in order to allow insiders to get out or simply a way for a small group to fleece the duped.

How can you sell 5000 shares in a hurry in a stock that trades 35,000 a day? I don't believe it can be done without a huge drop in price while you are trying to get out.
