More penny stocks or low-priced stocks have joined the party on Dalal Street on a day when the markets were lush green in colour with all indices in the positive.
These stocks have notched gains of close to 20 per cent in a single trading session. IANS has been reporting extensively on the upsurge in penny stocks with gay abandon with the regulator asleep on the wheel. On Monday, this activity was only accentuated with many more such counters in fast and furious mode.
Price rigging and manipulation through a carefully calibrated front running the operation by a cabal of operators is common enough on the bourses. This window dressing using the pump and dump method is something that that the regulator SEBI and the exchanges have to be wary of.
Last year, the corporate finance investigation department was set up at SEBI for greater surveillance and scrutiny, but it is obviously not doing enough as more and more ‘cats and dogs' are being ramped up by cocking a snook at the controller of markets.
IANS has done a deep dive and found a fresh lot of shares where this nefarious activity is being done in a brazen manner.
