We're just seeing the result of what it took to kick Gary Shaw out of his seat then, I suppose. Ah… thanks, Michaelthebox.

Just cause that transaction took place at that price doesn't mean the stock can now be sold for that much. Next time somebody sells it, it will probably drop back down to 2.50 or whatever a reasonable price is. When a stock price is listed, it just means that is the last price it was traded for. For a commonly traded stock, that price is almost always close to the current market rate. For a rarely traded stock, any weird price, like $8 a share for Pro Elite, can sit up there for a while until the next trade takes place.

Seems awfully simple to manipulate the stock market if that's all it takes to double your investment. Then again, maybe we're seeing the beginnings of the MMA stock boom, like the dot-com boom where companies with nothing were worth millions based on pure speculation. MMA is where it's at! Buy! Buy! Buy! ;-) Jeremy wrote: “The spike occurred because of a purchase of stock. Since the stock rarely sells, a minor transaction could cause a spike.”

Could there be a merger of sorts in the works between Affliction and EliteXC?

I have been following the Elite quarterly reports (and usually posting summaries on the forums of MMAWeekly) and can say that this upcoming one will show the company losing money yet again. Elite pretty much is limping from quarter to quarter. The initial signing with CBS gave them a solid cash infusion, but they are in need to more cash to continue. While they should have enough to run the Oct 4th show, they would likely be broke at that point. If they are able to secure further financing, they would be in a better position to stay active after that high profile show. I will post a summary when Elite releases the second quarter report. It should be an interesting one since it will contain the first CBS show.
