The longer the coronavirus epidemic lasts, this is going to benefit some companies and be detrimental to some companies (just stating the obvious).
In Malaysia, the glove companies will benefit.
Airlines, hotels, travel related industries (casino, tour companies, cruises) and others will be affected adversely. Nonetheless, this epidemic is not going to be permanent and one should look for opportunities to own good businesses in these sectors available at beaten down prices.

Market manipulation are transactions which create an artificial price or maintain an artificial price for a tradeable security.
Examples
Pools: "Agreements, often written, among a group of traders to delegate authority to a single manager to trade in a specific stock for a specific period of time and then to share in the resulting profits or losses."
Churning: "When a trader places both buy and sell orders at about the same price. The increase in activity is intended to attract additional investors, and increase the price."
Runs: "When a group of traders create activity or rumors in order to drive the price of a security up." An example is the Guinness share-trading fraud of the 1980s. In the US, this activity is usually referred to as painting the tape.
Ramping (the market): "Actions designed to artificially raise the market price of listed securities and to give the impression of voluminous trading, in order to make a quick profit."
Wash trade: "Selling and repurchasing the same or substantially the same security for the purpose of generating activity and increasing the price"
Bear raid: "Attempting to push the price of a stock down by heavy selling or short selling."

Basic facts of stock market operators are listed below for your reference.
**They work individually or in a group.
**They rely on the market trends to help them in their mission.
**The general public are their big customers.
**They together work with the public listed company owners or insiders.
**They have a main mission objective to accomplish.
**The bulk of their operation revolved around the accumulation and the distribution of stocks from / to the general public.
**They are rich and powerful figures but they are also humans that have emotions like all of us.
**They have extensive credit facilities and lower transaction costs than the retail investors.
**They do make mistakes like any one of us. Their mistake costs millions in dollars.
**Market news, stock market analyst, corporate announcements, word of mouth advertising, price bidding and order queues are some of their tricks and tools that they used to achieve their main objective.
**They don’t try to pick the bottom or the top like most retail investors do. Again, some of them try to do this and it costs them much sorrow and dismay.
**They do attempt to manipulate the chart to trick the chartist whether you like it or not.
**They are both the buyer and seller in the queue order at any given time.
**They are not doing charity work. They existed to make your money.
It is important to understand them well as they are big volume buyers and sellers. They can tilt the balance of demand and supply.

A syndicate gets a block of shares of say, two million and churns a daily trading volume of say, five million shares. This is done by buying and selling the same shares over and over again by syndicate members and their nominees.
The churning is done in such a way that the share price goes up every day, irrespective of sentiment on the market.
The trading activity and rising price momentum gets the attention of punters. The more experienced punters usually recognise the share price is being ramped up. Nonetheless, they pile in to make a fast buck, and hopefully get out before the syndicate withdraws support for the share price.
There will be, however, punters who are newer to the game or have more greed and they stay too long in the stock. When the syndicate sells out within a day or two, usually causing the stock to trade limit-down, punters lose their shirt.
The profits of the syndicate are shared among themselves. Usually, this involves major shareholders of companies that are loss-making in their business. Ramping becomes the only way the major shareholder can make a profit.

Spam Works: Evidence from Stock Touts and Corresponding Market Activity
1. Stocks experience a significantly positive return on days prior to heavy touting via spam.
2. Volume of trading responds positively and significantly to heavy touting.
3. Returns in the days following touting are significantly negative.
The evidence accords with a hypothesis that spammers "buy low and spam high," purchasing penny stocks with comparatively low liquidity, then touting them - perhaps immediately after an independently occurring upward tick in price, or after having caused the uptick themselves by engaging in preparatory purchasing - in order to increase or maintain trading activity and price enough to unload their positions at a profit.
Prolific spamming greatly affects the trading volume of a targeted stock, drumming up buyers to prevent the spammer's initial selling from depressing the stock's price.
Subsequent selling by the spammer (or others) while this buying pressure subsides results in negative returns following touting. Before brokerage fees, the average investor who buys a stock on the day it is most heavily touted and sells it 2 days after the touting ends will lose close to 5.5%.
For those touted stocks with above-average levels of touting, a spammer who buys on the day before unleashing touts and sells on the day his or her touting is the heaviest, on average, will earn 4.29% before transaction costs. The underlying data and interactive charts showing price and volume changes are also made available.

The much dreaded “pump and dump” operators.
So just what are these “pump and dump” operators all about? Well, they are perhaps a group of people who operate on creating hype and building up fevered excitement around a (usually) small company, where insiders can subsequently unload overvalued or worthless shares to unsuspecting investors.
So let’s say these pump and dumpers identify a cheap stock. Typically it has no earnings but rides on offering big “potential” for upside.
What they do is to cheaply acquire a large position in a company.
- Then they begin informing the public about this company via e-mail and Internet stock sites.
- They also start trading shares of these companies,
- Combined together, these activities create the perception that something big is brewing in that fledgling little company.
So the share price skyrockets, doubles, triples or quadruples even. Along the way, the operators dump their stock and make a fat profit for themselves.
That is more or less the modus operandi.
The themes play out every few days before rotating to the next sector.

The pump and dump is one of the oldest and most effective scams. Usually, pump and dumps are used on small stocks selling below $1.00 a share because it is easier for pump-and-dumpers to manipulate the stock price with smaller stocks.
NetX is only a 2 sen stock.

"The manipulator is all-powerful for a time. He can move market prices up or down. He can mislead investors, inducing them to buy when he wishes to sell, and sell when he wishes to buy; but manipulation in a stock cannot be permanent, and, in the end, the investor learns the approximate truth. His decision to keep his stock or sell it then makes a price independent of speculation and, in a large sense, indicative of true value."

The manipulators are not stupid. They cash in when market sentiment is strong and the naive retail investors purchase the shares hoping for a small gain.

At 2 sen per share, you are paying RM 74.81 million for Netx.
For this amount of money you pay, what do you get in return?
You get to own a company that has a revenue of RM 11,000 per month (RM 33,000 per quarter) that is also losing RM 2.7 million per month (RM 7.084 m per quarter).
It has cash of RM 35 m, however it is burning cash at a very rapid rate. The cash will all but disappear in 5 quarters.
It is always facing threat of insolvency and bankruptcy. So far, it has been able to raise funds through issuing more and more shares.
This company has a very disastrous track record stretching a decade.

There are risks to investing in penny stocks, but these can all be managed with the discipline and knowledge on when to buy and sell.
Locking in profits on a large spike in price is the one way experienced penny stock traders usually manage the risk.
Getting too greedy could result in a loss of any profits.
Just remember, they can go down as fast as they went up.
In the end, penny stocks are high risk / high reward endeavors.
There is less institutional interest in penny stocks, and thus, limited liquidity.
The amount of buyers and sellers is typically small in comparison to a large cap stock; its price can be easily manipulated.

By and large, attempts to regulate penny stocks have been thwarted.
The low prices make them ideal for manipulation because a few false cents per share can mean thousands if you hold most of the shares.
The internet has also offered a whole new medium by which to cheat investors. For every site that exposes penny stock fraud, there are hundreds of sites espousing one undiscovered treasure or another.
The best way to avoid getting swindled in the penny stocks is just to stay out of the water - if you don't swim, you won't be bitten.

Penny-Baited Traps
Penny stocks have been a thorn in the side of the SC for some time because lack of available information and poor liquidity make micro cap stocks an easy target for fraudsters.
There are many different ways in which scams are used to separate investors from their money. The most common include:
Biased Recommendations
Some micro cap companies pay individuals to recommend the company stock in different media. You may receive spam email or a whatsapp message trying to persuade you to purchase particular stock. All emails, postings and recommendations of that kind should be taken with a grain of salt. Look to see if the issuers of the recommendations are being paid for their services as this is a giveaway of a bad investment. Also make sure that any blog releases aren't given falsely by people looking to influence the price of a stock. (Do you know how to spot Sharks Among Penny Stocks?)
Offshore Brokers
Under regulation S, the SEC permits companies selling stock outside the country to foreign investors to be exempt from registering stock. These companies will typically sell the stock at a discount to offshore brokers who, in turn, sell them back to local investors for a substantial profit. By cold calling a list of potential investors (investors with enough money to buy a particular stock) and providing attractive information, these dishonest brokers will use high-pressure "boiler room" sales tactics to persuade investors to purchase stock. (Do you have insight into what is a boiler room operation?)

Successful companies aren't born, they're made,
They have to work their way from humble beginnings and through the ranks just like everyone else.
Unfortunately, some investors believe that finding the next "big thing" means scouring through penny stocks in the hope of finding the next Microsoft.
Unfortunately, this strategy will prove to be unsuccessful in most cases and pinning your hopes on penny stocks could leave you penniless.

You too was carried away by the shirt term temporary good profits of Hengyuan. What I posted on Hengyuan all those months turned out to be quite accurate.
Do you now agree that your request for more dividends was irrational? I opined the company did not have the free cash to give dividends as its future capex will be significant.
