Exit Strategies for Public Companies

There are three ways that public company insiders can convert their

equity into cash.

1. They can sell their stock to the public. This is the goal of the

insiders in most OTCBB and Nasdaq Small Cap Companies. It’s summarized in the axiom “Pump & Dump.” The stock is promoted as the insiders sell their shares into the public buying.

The SEC has spent 60 years trying to stop this practice. We have

insider trading rules that ban it. Yet, the insiders’ goal, in over 80% of

the OTCBB companies, is to dump their stock on the public.

This strategy is unprofitable for the promoters. It’s not that the

promoters face undue risk from an SEC investigation. The odds of a high

flying turkey being investigated are about one-in-ten. The profits for

insiders in “Pump & Dump” schemes are small.

It costs money to promote stock. The insiders illegally pay outside

promoters with part of their free-trading shares. The average “Pump & Dump” company insider nets less than $150,000 from the stock promotion.

For example, the Canadian media believes the Bre-X Scandal was the

biggest mining stock scam in history. These newspapers reported that only

one insider made more than a million dollars from it.

2. The insiders can create an industry giant. It will qualify to

trade on the New York Stock Exchange. The insiders and their heirs can live

off their dividends and the occasional sale of a few shares of their stock.

This is the Capitalist ideal. The insiders will retire multimillionaires.

Since 1945, a few companies, like Microsoft or Apple, have made

this journey to success in less than a decade. For most companies, it’ll

take them a lifetime to reach their goal. The insiders of these companies

have better odds of success in Las Vegas. This appears to be the

“Impossible Dream” of about 5% of the companies trading on the OTCBB.

3. The insiders can groom their public company as a takeover target

for an industry giant. Our spinoff test insiders are creating a

multi-dollar share price to allow them to fund their company. The equity

cash infusion will be converted into cash-producing business income. The

strong share price will be used to acquire cash-producing assets. In five

to seven years, the company should have a hundred million dollars in

assets. An industry giant will buy the public company based upon its share

price. The insiders will retire multimillionaires.

The odds of arranging a merger are better than the odds of creating

an industry giant. It takes less than ten years to become the perfect

merger candidate. It usually takes over 20 years to become an industry

giant. It makes sense to strive to be a merger candidate.

In ten years, a promoter can run about four “Pump & Dump” public

companies. These promotions could earn the promoter about a half-million

dollars. The promoter could create one real company and groom it as a

merger candidate. In ten years, the promoter can walk away as a

multimillionaire.

The most profitable strategy in going public is to build a company

and seek a friendly merger. It’s this group of merger oriented

entrepreneurs that I want to help.
