I bought stock in a company because it was $.01 and I figured the price would go up, as I have seen happen in the past. I apparently bought 2.12G or so of stock, which I definitely did not mean to do, and now I can't sell it. Every time I try to sell it I get the error saying that my stock is stinky. I'm getting no dividends from this stock and I just want to be rid of it. What on earth can I do?

For reference, this is the company I bought stock in and can no longer sell:

I think once its labeled as stinky you can never sell it again no matter what price it becomes unless its in extremely small quantities. At least thats been my unfortunate experience. The whole system is gonna get changed though.

Why is it labeled stinky and how can I avoid it in the future? I just saw that it was cheap and figured I would give it a shot.

That's not helpful because there's apparently no indication as to whether a stock will be "stinky" or not.

I don't mind that it exists, it sucks that it apparently never goes away no matter what the stock price is.

That company is 4 billion in debt with 0 revenue and 23M cash. Always check the stock details before buying. What would be nice is if all these broken hopelessly in debt companies were deleted. Note also the chairman of that company is guilty of massive and blatant embezzlement: B2B Purchase($12.0 G) same day the company gets a 4 billion dollar loan. I'd love to see the B2B history.

He probably thought no one would care due to the new server.

Anyway yes, please delete these junk scam shell companies.

Hogspittle!!!

Did you look at its current earnings? Is the player still active? Does he/she take all the cash out in salary? Do they just reinvest? Do they have buildings of size to support the number of shares with revenue? Did you even look at the balance sheet? Did the owner maintain a majority position in ownership shares? Is it laden with huge loans?

All that info is available on the stock's company pages. If you didn't go there and look, then you failed, not the system. And that would make Bob's comment very right on.

Bruce: You are probably right, though I would also like to see a mechanism by which they could be bought up by investors and turned around. If the cash is gone, and they are financially nonviable, so be it, but some could be great opportunities for savvy investors, to. Perhaps a combination of player investment and a lessening of the loans to make a turn around possible. It shouldn't be too easy, but it should be possible. It would be fun to have, anyway.

I purchased the stock before the company did all of that. When I bought it, it had a positive net worth and no loan. It was after buying it that the net worth plummeted.

I'm not asking to sell my stock for 10x profit or anything, a simple refund is good enough for me. I've invested about 65m in this company that I thought was good and now I can't do anything with it while the owner is able to get rich and get away with it all.

THIS IS WHAT ENRON WAS FORCED TO DO THEY PAID OFF THEIR SHAREHOLDERS TO COMPENSATE THEM FOR THE LIES

Sure you are not talking about real life in America?

At least in real life America you can still sell off the stinky stock.

Because I can't post anymore I have to edit this. Enron was forced to repay shareholders by selling off its assets. They didn't make all the money back, no, but there was at least some form of compensation. As it stands I have no compensation and the company has no obligation to.

To who? Imagine trying to sell Enron shares after the story broke - talk about stinky shares!

Some history, and note Enron's top share price was $90 and at the end it was $0.20

The result in real life was the federal government dealing with it.

Eligible shareholders whose Enron holdings became worthless when the company crumbled in scandal will receive $7.2 billion in settlements under a distribution plan approved in federal court.

The difference here is the government has moved to capitalism online. Besides that there's a warning about the stock market so it's buyer beware.

I found a way to sell it, though it certainly makes me look sketchy. If I sell stock so that the amount I get is under $10,000 I can reliably sell it. I'm just going to do that. I'm not botting or anything, just copy pasting over and over.
