Urgent! You Must Read! My Huge Pick.

Indeed, the stock really did move a lot on Friday, going up from $0.0031 per share to $0.02 by the end of the day. But what actually happened?

The reason for the increase in the share price is simple to see. Between 1pm and 2pm on Friday nearly 5.5 million shares of stock were bought in a 30 minute period at $0.0031 (for a total of about $17,000), probably all by the same party. The usual trade level for this stock is usually zero or close to zero. After 2pm subsequent buying (probably by speculators) added about another 750,000 shares but pushed the share price up to about $0.02 at close, a 545% increase which would (on paper) have netted the spammers a profit of $90,000. Not bad for a day's work.


In August 2010, NOST shares peaked at $5.40 per share. It's been a bit of a rollercoaster since then. Mostly downwards, leaving NOST as a thinly traded penny stock which is exactly the sort of thing that pump and dump spammers like.

The last major pump and dump we saw (HAIR) ran for over a month, and we can expect to see NOST spam for a while yet as the spammer - and perhaps whoever employed them - try to offload worthless shares onto unsuspecting investors. Avoid.
