The World’s first blueberry pump & dump: Patriot Berry Farms $PBFI

I first received emails promoting Patriot Berry Farms (PBFI) yesterday prior to the market open. Some of these emails linked to the pump page at HealthyStockProfits.com. Yesterday is also the first day the stock attracted meaningful trading volume. This looks like a half-assed pump and I expect it to dump soon.

Disclosed budget: $175,000

Promoter: PigeonRock Media & Wall Street Revelator / Andy Carpenter
Paying party: affiliates of PigeonRock Media
Shares outstanding: 71,409,871
Previous closing price: $0.84
Market capitalization: $60 million

Considering the six-month price target is only $1.81, I think it likely that the stock will never make it to $1.00
