To rely on analysts.
A few months ago Freakconomics told us the story of a scam in a game of poker online, which is far less curious.
In an online poker tournament is something unusual baked, so the players who began to investigate.
At the end of the tournament, the second ranked asked who organized the tournament (Absolute Poker) given the record of his hands spread in the tournament, something usual. But it sends not only the history of the cards played at your table, but accidentally (or intentionally like) a complete history of every table in the tournament, with all kinds of information that should not generally like to give the casino: the letters hidden from the players; user names of those who were watching the games and even the IP addresses of participants.
After analyzing the data was that the player who won the tournament was withdrawing from the rounds when it appeared some "observer" on the table (in the online poker, you can see the items which are played) but always gambled that if an observer was present . The observers just watching and not playing and can not see the hole cards of any player. But all players can read the user names of those who are watching. And just this might be a signal agreed upon in advance.
The players themselves converted to researchers, come to discover that the IP of the observer and his mind were in the same place where the servers that host Absolute Poker. Not only that but they are in the name of someone who happens to be ... one of the co-owners of the poker room. If all this right, and it seems that there is enough evidence, explained the trap would be: someone who worked at the company itself had access to all letters hidden in the game (something easy to imagine) and was passing that information to the table (by enter or leave the observer in the virtual room, simply to indicate "bet" or "retírate"). An accomplice who was outside playing. With the insider vs. the other participants in the tournament, with the money.
Of course, that technique was used semenjante as cheaters, for security reasons and to prevent fraud were out of communication to avoid pitfalls of this style.
Yesterday we saw another theft Court Guard, but that will go down in history as usual. This time, infiltrated into the game of poker is Morgan Stanley and timados, shareholders of Solaria, is to mark a target price for the shares of Solaria of € 23.5 and while it sells 1.5% of the company to about 12 €. What credibility can give us some guys like these? What kind of manipulation is this?.
Unfortunately there are some investors as pringadillos and we have no strength, we have to endure. Pulling library (well, the search engine) I see a news story of 2005 that says the U.S. investment bank Morgan Stanley must pay 604 million dollars to Ronald Perelman, chairman of the Revlon cosmetics firm, for having misled the advise an operation Investment in which it lost money.
Ya see, premeditation, and also treacherously recidivism.
As to bank on them, good for them and for all. You really are we so naive to believe what they tell us? What reason can only move one analyst to recommend buying the assets? actually, who wants to get rid of him.
That's the power of information, if you can see the letters from the opponent and marcarte a bluff occasionally, you can pluck any Pardillo with impunity because this is the law of the market.
If you are interested to know more about Solaria, I strongly recommend this article titled "The story of the milk" which begins like this.
When you pay for a company was born last November 27, 2002, which billed 698,866 Euros (2005), had an ordinary profit of 23,299 Euros?. One track, it's not a grocery shop, but it is a company listed on the stock exchange, no less than in the continuous market.
This company came to the stock exchange last June with a value of 960 million Euros ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡.
Today I'm talking about Solaria, the other day from Astroc and could well continue with lots of assets (for example, stamps). Many times we have no idea of the true value of what we buy and that is financial suicide.
Regarding the current economic Oil that we have today reached $ 100. Recall that the general State budget for 2008 are based on an oil below $ 80. Why is it so high? No idea, according to one analyst says
'The crude is completely divorced from reality, it is difficult to justify an oil now at $ 100 per barrel because the supply is increasing and demand is falling'
With regard to Spain we have that its economy grew by 3.5% in the fourth quarter and 3.8% in the whole of 2007, a tenth less than in 2006. Just as planned.
On the other hand, the World Bank has estimated that the Spanish economy occupies the eleventh position in the world in terms of purchasing power parity. Too bad, because until now assumed that Spain was the eighth or ninth world economic potential, always fighting with Canada for one reason or another position.
As such, my friends. Do not let scam.
