Halted

Why does this sub only lock posts that are promoting obvious scams that a simple google search will quickly tell you are not legal? You cannot make a deal with someone to trade your shares so they can exit their short position.

A ""story stock"" aka - a tragedy - the AITX security company

ALL stories eventually END, the pages are turned and the cover gets closed, done over. CRUSH thru all the hype, fluff, etc. from false advertising and marketing. Just like glue holding sesame seeds on a burger bun commercial - its misleading, false, untrue, deceptive. It does NOT pass the smell test, or taste test, or actually "cutting thru the middle" to see what is inside - test. The financing will end, there is no equity, no assets, no worth, no value . Built on fraud, house of cards, shell companies, etc.

The truth about $NTCL: It wasn't a company rug pull, it was a WhatsApp scam group. Here is the actual data on Monday's split.

Hey everyone, I've been seeing a ton of posts calling NetClass Technology ($NTCL) a scam and saying the company rugged us. I got caught in this too, but we need to look at the actual filings because the story is different. The company didn't pull the rug—a massive coordinated WhatsApp scam group (targeting specific language chat rooms) pumped this thing to the moon and then dumped millions of shares on regular retail traders at the top.

The company is actually scrambling right now to save its Nasdaq listing before a hard July 27 compliance deadline. Today they officially closed at $0.1022 and announced a mandatory 1-for-50 reverse split for Monday, July 6.

Here is the raw, no-bullshit data on what is actually happening on Monday and why the shorts might be in massive trouble.

The Real Data:

  • The New Price: On Monday morning, the stock price automatically jumps from $0.1022 to $5.11.
  • The Float Collapse: The total public shares are getting slashed by 98% (from 63 million down to just 1.2 million shares). The float is going to be microscopic and completely locked up.
  • The 1000% CTB Rate: Because the split is cutting off the supply of shares, the Cost-to-Borrow (CTB) rate just spiked over 1000% today. It is costing short sellers a fortune just to hold their positions over the weekend.

The Good vs. The Bad for Monday

The Good (The Squeeze Setup):
Because the short borrow fee is over 1000% and 98% of the shares are vanishing, the shorts are walking into a massive trap on Monday morning. When the market opens with an incredibly tiny, illiquid float, any tiny bit of buying volume is going to cause the price to gap up vertically. This will force short-covering algorithms to panic-buy shares to close their positions, triggering a massive pre-market short squeeze.

The Bad (The Risk):
Penny stocks undergoing reverse splits are incredibly dangerous. If no buyers show up on Monday morning, trapped retail investors might just panic-sell at the $5.11 print to get their money out, which will bleed the stock back down.

How to Play This:

If you are holding a position from higher up (like a $0.18 average, which becomes a $9.00 target post-split), do not try to manually trade this during regular hours. These low-float spikes happen incredibly fast.

The play is to log into your broker early Monday morning, check that your shares updated, and set a Good 'Til Canceled (GTC) Limit Order at your exact breakeven price. Make sure you turn Pre-Market / Extended Hours trading ON. The algorithms usually trigger the squeeze between 4:00 AM and 7:00 AM EST before standard retail apps even open up.

Let's stop blaming the company for what the WhatsApp scammers did, look at the 1000% borrow rate, and see how this crazy float plays out on Monday.

Re-Beware of XCHG Limited ( Nasdaq: XCH)

The vampires never die; they only hibernate until the auspicious time arises.

I wrote an extended critical report on this company two years ago. ( Feel free to check it out.)

https://open.substack.com/pub/melifinance/p/xchg-smells-like-fools-play?r=84zv6&utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=post%20viewer

https://www.reddit.com/r/VampireStocks/comments/1gfvcwf/xchg_smells_like_fools_play_warning/

$XCH is tentatively trying to reemerge out of its worm-infested deadbed to extract a little more " juice" from the current histrionically insane market.

So far, the volume of traders has been relatively weak, and the stock "only" managed a 52% price rise after pushing out a fake press-release pivot into the "energy storage" market.

The stock hasn't really caught on with the usual suspects pump pushers on Fintwits.

Let's make sure it never does!

On March 9, 2026, execs adopted the 2026 share-based compensation Plan, pursuant to which the maximum aggregate number of ordinary shares we are authorized to issue is 1,492,028,626, and 1,600,000 of such share awards have been granted as of March 31, 2026.

This is a simple regulatory gimmickry update anticipating a future pump-exit dump.

it is a total sham!

FG Merger II Corp. (FGMC) and BOXABL Inc. (expected ticker: BXBL) — proceed with caution.

I'm not even sure this is worth mentioning anymore, since everyone seems to be talking about it.

The original idea sounded ambitious: build a factory capable of mass-producing tiny homes like they're coming off an assembly line, sell each one for $50,000 (later increased to $60,000), and help solve the housing crisis. The only catch was that the homes were extremely small—but, as the argument went, a tiny home is better than no home at all.

To fund this vision, the company raised capital through crowdfunding, offering investors preferred shares. Early progress looked promising, with a government contract and sales to major corporate customers.

Then the company ran into reality.

It turned out that these homes cannot be installed everywhere due to local building codes and zoning regulations. In addition, site preparation, utility connections, and the cost of obtaining local permits can increase the total cost of a home by several times.

At the same time, the company is spending enormous amounts on sales and marketing. Last year alone, these expenses were nearly 17 times higher than its total revenue.

It's important to understand that this isn't an internet or software company, where heavy upfront investment in the product or customer acquisition can eventually lead to economies of scale, with the cost of serving each additional customer falling dramatically. BOXABL operates a manufacturing business, where production, logistics, installation, and customer acquisition remain capital-intensive even as volumes increase.

There are also questions regarding the founders’ compensation. A salary of around $1.2 million appears difficult to justify given annual sales of only about $1.5 million.

They even paid huge bonuses to themselves in 2024!

The company has also been associated with aggressive marketing practices, including offering equity to influencers in exchange for promotional content and positive coverage. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hocU7uRzMOc)

In addition, the company’s preferred shares—issued to crowdfunding investors—can reportedly only be converted into common shares in stages, starting 14 months after the IPO begins trading.

At the same time, some shareholders are already willing to sell these shares today at roughly half price.

https://www.reddit.com/r/investing/comments/1tskfkq/boxabl_preferred_investors_are_people/

Recent SPAC-related developments indicate that approximately 83% of committed funds were redeemed following the merger announcement. As a result, the company is expected to receive roughly five times less capital than initially anticipated.

Put differently, about four out of five SPAC investors have effectively withdrawn their backing, which can be interpreted as a lack of confidence in the post-merger equity story.

Additionally, it is notable that in most SPAC transactions the new ticker typically begins trading within a few days after the merger announcement. In this case, however, nearly three weeks have already passed without trading commencement, which is an unusual delay compared to standard SPAC timelines.(https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/fg-merger-ii-corp-announces-closing-of-the-redemption-window-for-its-business-combination-with-boxabl-302794386.html)

The company has also recently entered into an agreement to sell its homes in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Perhaps regulatory standards there are lower, and installing such a unit—shipped from desert Nevada—would be cheaper than importing one from China.

What struck me, however, is the complete lack of contact details on the UK company’s website (no address, no phone number), as well as the fact that both the company and the domain were registered only in April of this year, 2026.

To sum up: money is burning at an extraordinary rate, including through founders’ salaries. Sales are minimal, the outlook is unclear, investors are disappointed, and even positive news tends to raise additional questions.

Not financial advice. This post reflects my personal opinions and research. Do your own due diligence before making any investment decisions.

Questions on trading long position for short cover

I’ve heard a few people were able to get their halted shares sold to a “buyer” who has a short position. My question is that the person I’m dealing with wants to do transaction via “Charles Schwab- Move assets from my Schwab brokerage account” form. Has anyone used this method before for this type of transaction? The risk I’m having is that they are paying back with the stock ticker “mint” and requires my full account number and full name to fill out a form to transfer shares to my account. This opens up risks that I’m probably not aware of. This does avoid giving out bank information but I’m sure there’s plenty of risk with this type of transaction. What methods are the safest if anyone has done this before and was successful can chime in I’d be grateful.

ENGS, TJGC, PSIG - All 3 currently being promoted and bid dumped

**EDIT: NCI is also being bid dumped, last promoted Thursday**

**SPPL also being promoted again, 06/29**

From my last post 3 weeks ago that had more mentioned, they have either dumped (NTCL), or were halted (HCHL), or have just stopped being promoted for the moment (SMJF, KXIN). I expect these will be promoted again soon, maybe in a month or so.

As for the 3 mentioned above, ENGS had some very obvious bid dumping today as I saw 200k+ bids being filled within minutes, which is the usual sign of it being promoted. They have been working on this one since around March, if i remember correctly they have shares at around .6 to dump and cashless warrants which should equal around 46M shares. The resale of these shares are here if anyone's interested, it even lists the people who are selling the shares to the whatsapp bidders if you check "Selling Shareholders": https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1971828/000149315226008660/formf-1.htm

TJGC they have slowed down a bit on this one, I believe majority of the shares should be sold on it. Maybe it will have one last heavy promo then dump.

PSIG is starting to peak, I expect the dump is very very soon.
