Beyond The Fringe

Between gloats at the fulfillment of our U share predictions as the bourse heads skyward and shaking our heads in wonder at TRF’s stellar gains, we are indulging in trading of a more light-hearted nature at Blogshares. We now have a kitty of several billion and a couple of hundred Artifacts ready for employment at our convenience.

Our strategy has been pretty straightforward.

(1) Buy up our own blog of course and some cheapies. Then resell after the price goes up after one has bought. Slow but sure. Collect new blogs which are current and which are likely to appreciate better. Introduce some new blogs which we know are current and growing in industries we have our eye on for nefarious schemes later on Report dead blogs for added rewards.

(2) Gain a pile of chips through completion of Missions and answering simple questions for 5 chips a throw, then gamble them on Chances to win lots of B$, old blog shares, ideas, chips, premium memberships and raffle tickets.

(3) Buy as many Ideas as one can afford in order to build useful Artifacts which can be essential later on to perpetrate hostile takeovers.

Wonder if Beck will notice we own his blog. Chortle! The Iron Lady is ready, poised for action.

On another, somewhat related note, it seems a past Hotcopperite is facing charges of insider trading involving information he gave on the forum a couple of years back.

The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) alleges Mr Woodland traded securities in Kanowna Consolidated Gold Mines, now known as Andean Resources Ltd, on five occasions between November 28 and December 5, 2003.

ASIC alleges he had insider knowledge of the company’s acquisition of the Cerro Negro gold mining project in Argentina before it was made public on December 10, 2003.

After the acquisition was announced to the Australian Stock Exchange, the company’s shares closed at 9.1 cents, up 2.5 cents from when it requested a trading halt on December 8, because of concerns information had been leaked about the deal.

ASIC also alleges Mr Woodland passed his inside knowledge onto people he met through the internet-based financial services chat site, Hotcopper.

Fascinating stuff - we wonder how many more wheeler dealers push their goo and tripe amongst the crew - from our observations there are plenty of such allegations.
