Today, a short-seller 'liquidation' scam:
Primega Group, $PGHL, is a Nasdaq-listed, Hong-Kong based entity that some some had likely shorted due to it being an obvious scam.
The stock spiked 108% today on no news and was halted all day after being unable to settle on an unhalt price. It then opened after hours +969% before collapsing again almost immediately.
So what happened?
Short sellers need only be outside of margin compliance for a fraction of a second for brokers to force automatic buy-ins. Knowing this, offshore scam operators tightly control the float of all these issuers but sometimes leave borrow available to lure in short sellers...
When short sellers bite, the scam operators wash trade a spike in the stock, then keep bid/asks moving during the halt so no unhalt price can be settled upon during regular trading hours. Then, after hours, it unhalts as they rip the price 10x+, causing brokers to force-liquidate accounts that were short. Brokers buy-in to cover the short sales as scam artists sell into the artificially high price.
This can lead to short accounts being wiped out instantly and can even lead to broker losses. The same liquidation scam playbook had been executed previously with other Nasdaq offshore scam tickers such as $ZJYL.
A cautionary tale for anyone wishing to short these obvious scams. And once again, more evidence that Nasdaq has transformed itself from a once respected stock exchange into a stock scam playground.

“No, I am!”
“Fake News”
They debate like 6 year olds.
The good news is that regardless of who wins tonight’s debate, we will have heard from two young, energetic and capable leaders that appeal to most Americans.

The ceos of GME and AMC should just sell a lot of stock to make it so the companies are buys and that will get the stocks even higher. If the SEC decides to look into it, it will be too late.

My wife gave me 100:1 odds on T Swift guest staring during the half time show. She says Swift hates Bieber who’s friends with Usher so no chance. In reality, her loss will be having to sit through a sermon about tail risk/high win rate strats from me. My tail risk? Couch sleeping
