The pumpers were silent as the stock closed 36% down. <\/p>\n<p>The pumping of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=SMAK\">SMAK<\/a> started on December 12 with promoters Penny Stock Parlay comparing the company to large NASDAQ player True Religion Apparel (NASDAQ:TRGL). <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=SMAK\">SMAK<\/a> is sadly a company that is not even a far cry from such businesses.<\/p>\n<p>The company recently announced the purchase of Team Sports Superstore (TSS). Before this deal <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=SMAK\">SMAK<\/a> had zero cash and never generated a dime of revenue since its inception as Reshoot Production Company in 2007. The so-called purchase of TSS was really a reverse merger in which TSS acquired 78% of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=SMAK\">SMAK<\/a> stock as payment for the deal and Mr. Sigler, the major shareholder of TSS became CEO, President and Director in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=SMAK\">SMAK<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The company was kind enough to provide some sort of update on what the merger brought to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=SMAK\">SMAK<\/a>. The picture painted by Team Sports Superstore financials is not a pretty one. Here is an excerpt from the consolidated data for TSS, found under item 99.1:<\/p>\n<div>\n<ul>\n<li>$11 thousand cash as of June 2012<\/li>\n<li>$457 thousand current liabilities as of June 2012<\/li>\n<li>$227 thousand net loss for year ended June 2012<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<ul> <\/ul>\n<p>This is basically saying that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=SMAK\">SMAK<\/a> was a company with no cash and revenues and moderate monthly losses that reverse merged with a company that has very little cash and is generating much more loss. In addition to all this, Mr. Sigler&#8217;s insider ownership amounts to 60% of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=SMAK\">SMAK<\/a> stock, or 24.3 million shares. Yesterday that may have changed as over 1 million shares changed hands at a price that was still inflated by the pump.<\/p>\n<p>While Penny Stock Parlay bagged $25 thousand to pump the stock, yesterday many traders lost a lot of cash as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=SMAK\">SMAK<\/a> crashed. Investors are advised to do their own research and check all facts around any company, especially when it&#8217;s a pumped penny stock as those are often the most likely candidates for a spectacular drop once the pump stops and people start offloading their shares.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/email.thestockmarketwatch.com\/wf\/open?upn=vzZzBY9Y6niCD8OCkromjDCcSvKMEpqS40G2OupyPS6wy8KbBYGnlzVd3rvJlEpFuNL2z-2FhKmyE9rBUOH4SqyN1-2FxkgSKViHXsRJGMvjtBAPs7ZenOgeGT4cjCDoCTzsDF58zlU23hK2EyZMp4TFvGSiKS8BGiON8zXZfuoKPq9P-2BatuR0Cnpq-2FpKVQY21zeit7pblFxaoTn9TuV15kZZQ-3D-3D\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" style=\"height:1px !important;width:1px !important;border-width:0 !important;margin-top:0 !important;margin-bottom:0 !important;margin-right:0 !important;margin-left:0 !important;padding-top:0 !important;padding-bottom:0 !important;padding-right:0 !important;padding-left:0 !important;\"\/> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday Smack Sportswear (OTC:SMAK) dropped hard in the wake of a pump campaign run primarily by Penny Stock Parlay.
