Bottom Line: If you ever see the words “strong buy” affiliated with an OTC listed stock, raise the flag (the red one). If you see the phrase “price target” affiliated with it as well, use your other hand to raise another flag. The promoters picked a perfect penny stock to pump with EMPM, a 3D technology company. Technology creates a huge buzz and tech stocks are notorious for running hot and fast. The Empire pump has been going since September 23, 2011.
The pump has really picked up in recent weeks with a budget close to that of SNPK and, as with any big promotion, lots of “news” and press releases are being issued daily. An easy way to spot a “pump” is when “news” comes out on a regular basis “after” the market has closed which builds hype for the next trading session.
From January 1 to February 17, EMPM had a mere 9 press releases and/or earnings reports. They have matched that with another 9 in the last week. The only news that is worthy on Empire Post is that they lost $87,081 in 2011 and $61,654 in 2010.
