SPNGE - SEC on their trail


An 8-K out today by SPNGE highlights a SEC investigation into the stock:

On September 18, 2009, the Company received a formal order of investigation issued by the SEC regarding possible securities laws violations by the Company and/or other persons. At this time, it is not possible to predict the outcome of the investigation nor is it possible to assess its impact on the Company. The Company and its officers and directors have received subpoenas requesting the delivery of certain documents. The Company has been cooperating fully, and intends to continue to cooperate fully, with the SEC with respect to its investigation


Shapiro and her SEC cronies are hot on their trail.

The bad news is this filing came out after the market closed. SPNGE has been selling off over the last 4 days which happens to be the 4 days after the SEC came to the company, which begs to question who was trading on this unreleased information?

We called for a SPNGE based on a technical bounce off a major support line. When an SEC investigation gets thrown into the mix technical analysis is of little use.

Lets face it. SPNGE is much the same as the rest of the penny stocks out there, except SPNGE draws tremendous volume on a daily basis. It also draws a significant interest in the penny stock investment community.

Spongtech product advertisements can be found all over. There is no doubting the validity of their product. The issue must be with the volume and price action of the stock.

Lets see what happens from here, SPNGE should be avoided until this SEC investigation is resolved.

What are you thinking about SPNGE. I really appreciate all your insight on your penny stock picks. I have spongetech products and think the company is on the right track but with the last week being insane....will this penny stock go back to where it started?

Penny stocks trade on momentum and awareness. The SEC investigation is difficult to shrug off. I suspect SPNGE will at some point in the future, possibly before years end, be a sub-penny stock again.
