Seth – Casino Greedy? Wants to impress dad
1. What is going on? Sumthin’ ain’t right. Boiler Room Questions
Michael – Owner of JT Marlin How can he afford to pay such huge RIPS?
The SEC forbids a broker from recommending stock that would personally benefit him/her or his/her company. Why do you think that this is illegal?
STEP ONE • The owner of JT Marlin creates a company, on paper with his friends. • They file all the required SEC documents. • They even rent a building for an actual address.
Step Two • The brokers convince people that the fake company is a great investment. • They create a buzz: “This company is about to release a new drug…” • The IPO stock will start at less than a dollar, • BUT as soon as people start buying, it will drive the price up to $10 even $20.
Step Three • The huge RIPs encourage all brokers to push the stock, which creates higher and higher prices (increase demand). • The early investors, which are mostly the fake owners, cash out their stock when it reaches $10 a share. • Early investors get VERY rich.
Step Four • Eventually, since there is no actual company, the stock will be seen as weak and will drop back down to zero (no buyers). • Late investors will lose everything.
Step Five • If the SEC catches on, you shut down the company and leave no traces. • The SEC may not chase or investigate a company that no longer exists. • Open a new “Boiler Room” in another location and start the process over.
