I had an idea I am going to try a follow through on and I am hoping others on this site do as well. My idea is to contact CNBC shows like Krammer’s Mad Money and other shows on that channel and let them know about the pending law suits. I am going to try and e-mail them and call in and tell them about all the recent news and to check out this site. Especially the Men’s Health Article. My hope is this will trigger a massive sell off on their stock if this story can get out about them possibly having to pay out a huge settlement some day. This would bring attention to our cause and hopefully a cure, and payback to Merck. What do you think? Anybody else want to try and contact them as well? The more of us that do the more likely they might air a story on PFS and Merck. If you think this is a bad idea for some reason I will not follow through.
I think some people have tried to contact 20/20. Havent head of much success though.
I suggest the Parade magazine that is in the Sunday paper. Also maybe the tv show “Doctors”??
I wish your idea could be realistic, but I’m afraid you don’t understand the markets very well. Merck is a Large cap company with over 3 Billion share float or 107 Billion Market Cap. It has about 75% institutional ownership. That means Major banks, investment firms and very savvy investors own a lot of it. For one thing it would take much more than a news show to get these type of players to panic.
Also the float is so large that it’s not very volatile. Think of like, taking a small stone and throwing it into the ocean, theres so much water that the ripple is tiny. If this was a small cap company sure a news show like that could move the stock in a big way, especially as there are more retail investors in these stocks. Some day I believe we will see the stock crater, but I believe we would need to see a very massive settlement and hopefully proof of fraud of some nature.
