Hire 2-3 Boiler room salesmen. Former stock brokers, who have lost
their license, are best. Your cyber-hypsters can each register as scores
of phony stock investors at each Internet Stock Chat Board (SCB), like
Raging Bull or Silicon Investor. There are over 200 SCBs. You'll need to
spend about $60,000-$100,000 on your computer hardware and software.
However, you've created over 1,000 investors to hype stocks.

The cyber-hypsters can control any stock board. They appear to be
10-20 or more enthusiastic stock investors. They claim to be long in that
stock. They tell the Board that the share price will go to the moon.
Critics of the stock are called "Bashers." They are insulted, ridiculed and
their issues are ignored. The cyber-hypsters post support messages to these
attacks, using other names. It appears that every investor at the Board
strongly favors the stock. The critics soon shut up and move on. If the
critics comments, against the stock had merit, the cyber-hypsters complain
to the Board Sponsor and have the critics posted comments removed.

Now the goal is to gather pigeons to the Pump & Dump (P&D) Board.
This can be done with spam. It can be done with free online investment
letters. It can be done as an adjunct to a traditional boiler room stock
promotion. It can be done with a direct mailing. What the promoters want is
to put the pigeon into an environment where they are told to buy, buy and
buy more of whatever worthless stock is being pumped.

Getting pigeons to the Board can be done by pooches. The Canadian
word "pooch" refers to a pigeon who will help the hyster by bringing other
pigeons to the slaughter. The pooch supplies friends, family, and business
associates as buyers of the stock. A "pigeon" is anyone who puts their hard
earned money into a stock scam.

It can be done by moving the pigeons from one Board to another
Board. There are cyber-hypsters who post on all Boards spam that encourages
the pigeons to subscribe to a free newsletter, visit their website or visit
another Board.

cyber-hypsters are working two P&Ds, they can magnify their
effectiveness. Let's say, the second P&D is about to be pumped (promoted
upward). The cyber-hypster will post a notice at the first Board saying
that P&D #2 is a great buy. They just bought say 10,000 shares of it. Few
P&D #1 pigeons will buy the P&D#2 stock. However, whatever P&D#2 stock
buying results helps the P&D#2 stock promotion. The real benefit is that
the cyber-hypster can report that his P&D#2 stock soared and he made money.
This gives him added credibility at the P&D#1 website.

The pattern is 1-3 pumps with a rearguard action to keep the share
from collapsing. Most of these P&D groups have several of these stocks in
states of development. For example Teflon Tony and the Cyberboys at
FantasyLand are doing a rearguard action on TMMI while planning to pump
NAPH. They have a half dozen more deals in various stages of development
or decomposition. They are lining up more deals.

It's my belief that the Net will be the primary method of moving
share prices within the next 15 years. Today, the effectiveness of
cyber-hype is overrated as are many things involved with the Internet.
However, when you can SELL stock on the Net, the cyber-hypsters have
developed the system to sell it to the pigeons.

I think there is a better way to go public and create a strong
share price. I think you can walk away with a fortune as an insider. I
think everyone can win. It's one reason that I publish EFS. However, I'm
currently battling the "Dark Side of the Force." Thus, the focus in this
issue on sizzle rather than steak.
