The promo ended, after over a 100% move.

First, thank you all. I read the strings everyday. Never posted. Financially secure and not easily sold. Is this how it works regarding EARS or other promo sells ? Consider me naive. Companies really take promo $ and push a stock. Then claim our firm never takes a cent. That wicked ?
And thank you Travis and team. You enlighten me daily.

Big newsletters touting small stocks often move the price considerably, though not always. But no, the big, legitimate newsletters don’t take money to cover stocks — if undisclosed, that’s a major issue for the SEC and none of the large publishers would risk multimillion dollar businesses for something that short-sighted.

I don’t think there has been any actual news. I haven’t analyzed their financials and I know nothing about their product’s status in development, but they have had no filings or press releases of note, nor have they presented at any conferences. I suspect that the ad campaign from Money Map had a lot to do with it, folks are often surprised at what a huge impact a large newsletter list can have on a small stock (this is a $150 million company, roughly, extremely small). That attention drives up the stock, and then that movement in the stock brings in momentum investors who like it because it’s going up, and that drives it up further, and you end up with a stock that wasn’t getting a lot of attention but is now quite volatile because there are a lot of new, relatively uncommitted investors in the name who are excited about the large percentage changes each day and prone to overreact to every chart movement.

That’s true of many such small teased stocks, though, not a specific reaction to EARS. To me it looks like the next bit of big news coming is data from their lead drug candidate for tinnitus, and they say the data won’t come out until the second quarter… so unless they release dribs and drabs along the way, everything until that point is chatter and guessing for the sake of guessing — it might move the stock one way or another, since any small blip in sentiment moves a stock of this size, but it can’t really be predicted.

Eight months later. Something is going on with EARS. They are due a Phase 3 by 8/31. Today is has jumped 15%. Can’t find any news or leaks. But someone knows or thinks they know something. I’m in this big so I hope it is good test results. They do have an FDA fast track.

Long EARS
