...braucht wohl jeder, der in Explorerwerte (im Sprung?) investiert. Man wird sich wohl eingestehen müssen, daß da oft Emotionen, zuviel Emotionen mitunter im Spiel sind - zumal, wenn man sich dem Sektor erstmals zuwendet.
Beim Herumstöbern in englischsprachigen Boards bin ich auf einen witzigen, ungeschminkten Artikel gestoßen, der mir vor einigen Jahren eine große Hilfe gewesen wäre, als ich noch nicht so recht verstehen konnte, warum ein vermutlich "guter" Wert mit soundsoviel Ressourcen und "günstig" erworbenen Claims etc.plötzlich über Nacht in den ungebremsten Sinkflug (Explorer im Sprung nach unten) übergeht und man dann monatelang nichts mehr hört, ehe die Buschtrommeln wieder angeworfen werden.
Inzwischen habe ich die darin geschilderten Prozesse praktisch allesamt durchlaufen und kann ihn nur allen zur Lektüre empfehlen, die beim nächsten Anspringen der Explorereuphorie erstmals mit an Bord sind. Ich stelle es mal für Archivzwecke hier rein. Die Sache ist allerdings in Englisch verfasst...und nicht vergessen: No wonder Vancouver is sometimes called "Hollywood North."

THE DEADLY ART OF STOCK MANIPULATION....
In every profession, there are probably a dozen or two major rules.
Knowing them cold is what separates the professional from the amateur.
Not knowing them at all? Well, let's put it this way: How safe would
you feel if you suddenly found yourself piloting (solo) a Boeing 747
as it were landing on an airstrip?
Unless you are a professional pilot, you would probably be frightened
out of your wits and would soil your underwear. Hold that thought as
you read this essay because I will explain to you how market
manipulation works. What the professionals and the securities
regulators know and understand, which the rest of us do not, is this.
"RULE NUMBER ONE: ALL SHARP PRICE MOVEMENTS -- WHETHER UP OR DOWN --
ARE THE RESULT OF ONE OR MORE (USUALLY A GROUP OF) PROFESSIONALS
MANIPULATING THE SHARE PRICE."
This should explain why a mining company finds something good and
"nothing happens" or the stock goes down. At the same time, for NO
apparent reason, a stock suddenly takes off for the sky! On little
volume! Someone is manipulating that stock, often with an unfounded
rumor. In order to make these market manipulations work, the
professionals assume: (a) The Public is STUPID and (b) The Public will
mainly buy at the HIGH and (c) The Public will sell at the LOW.
"RULE NUMBER TWO: IF THE MARKET MANIPULATOR WANTS TO DISTRIBUTE (DUMP)
HIS SHARES, HE WILL START A GOOD NEWS PROMOTIONAL CAMPAIGN."
Ever wonder why a particular company is made to look like the greatest
thing since sliced bread? That sentiment is manufactured. Newsletter
writers are hired -- either secretly or not -- to cheerlead a stock.
PR firms are hired and let loose upon an unsuspecting public.
Funny little "hype" messages are posted on Internet newsgroups by the same cast of usual suspects.
The more, the merrier. And a little "juice" can go a long way toward
running up the stock price. The HYPE is on. The more clever a stock
promoter, the better his knowledge of the advertising business.
"RULE NUMBER THREE: AS SOON AS THE MARKET MANIPULATOR HAS COMPLETED
HIS DISTRIBUTION (DUMPING) OF SHARES, HE WILL START A BAD NEWS OR NO
NEWS CAMPAIGN."
Your favorite home-run stock has just stalled or retreated a bit from
its high. Suddenly, there is a news VACUUM. Either NO news or BAD
rumors. I discovered this with quite a few stocks. I would get LOADS
of information and "hot tips." All of a sudden, my pipeline was
shut-off. You'll also see the stock drifting endlessly. You may
even experience a helpless feeling, as if you were floating in outer
space without a lifeline. That is exactly HOW the market manipulator
wants you to feel. See Rule Number Five below.
"RULE NUMBER FOUR: ANY STOCK THAT TRADES HUGE VOLUME AT HIGHER PRICES
SIGNALS THE DISTRIBUTION PHASE."
When there was less volume, the price was lower. Professionals were
accumulating. After the price runs, the volume increases. The
professionals bought low and sold high. The amateurs bought high (and
will soon enough sell low).
The market manipulator will do everything in his power to keep you OUT OF THE STOCK until the share price has been marked up by at least
two-three times, sometimes resorting to "shaking you out" until after
he has accumulated enough shares. Successful short-term speculators generally exit any stock run up when the volume soars; amateurs get greedy and buy at those points.
"RULE NUMBER FIVE: THE MARKET MANIPULATOR WILL ALWAYS TRY TO GET YOU
TO BUY AT THE HIGHEST, AND SELL AT THE LOWEST PRICE POSSIBLE."
Just as the manipulator will use every available means to invite you
to "the party," he will savagely and brutally drive you away from "his
stock" when he has fleeced you. The first falsehood you assume is that
the stock promoter WANTS you to make a bundle by investing in his
company. So begins a string of lies that run for as long as your
stomach can take it. You will get the first clue that "you have been
had" when the stock stalls at the higher level. Somehow, it ran out of
steam and you are not sure why. Well, it ran out of steam because the
market manipulator stopped running it up. It's over inflated and he
can't convince more people to buy. The volume dries up while the share
price seems to stall. LOOK AT THE TRADING VOLUME, NOT THE SHARE PRICE!
(...)
"RULE NUMBER NINE: THE MARKET MANIPULATOR IS WELL AWARE OF THE
EMOTIONS YOU ARE EXPERIENCING DURING A RUN UP AND A COLLAPSE AND WILL
PLAY YOUR EMOTIONS LIKE A PIANO."
During the run up, you WILL have a rush of greed which compels you to
run into the stock. During the collapse, you WILL have a fear that you
will lose everything... so you will rush to exit. See how simple it is
and how clear a bell it strikes? Don't think this formula isn't
tattooed inside the mind of every manipulator. The market manipulator
will play you on the way up and play you on the way down. If he does
it very well, he will make it look like someone else's fault that you
lost money! The manipulator even knows how to bring you back for yet another play.
What actors! No wonder Vancouver is sometimes called "Hollywood
North."
