  Something fishy about this stock -:)

           For the last year or so contributors to this forum

have been infatuated with aquaria 21and this infatuation shows

no sign of ending.  Today people are asking if its a good time to buy,

are they mad? or is it some kind of conspiracy to hoodwink the

innocent?

       If an aliens only contact with earth was this share forum he/it

woulld imagine aquaria 21 was the worlds leading company, and that

the only bubbles on earth were those emanating from the gills of fish.

         In all seriousness i suspect there has been a fair amount of

 ramping taking place with this stock. I have several times in the last

 year noticed a proliferation of posts urging people to buy this stock

for various reasons, usually the effect has been a short term rise as

the gullible bought into the idea, only to see the price drop a few

days later as the perpetrators of the ramping took their profits.

       It dosent take much, especially with the small capitalisation of

stocks in nz to influence the price with a few well placed posts., i just

urge people not to be taken in by this type of hype, its very prevalent and

profitable for those involved but for those taking the bait it is usually a

recipe for disaster.
