Now for the really juicy rumor on GTCP:

We are expecting that this maybe Awesome Penny Stock's next pick, as their associates own almost all of the stock, as evidenced by SNPK CEO, Markie Barch's, status as former CEO of this company.  

We expect the promotional efforts to be very heavy and last several days, if not weeks.  At a minimum, I would expect APS to do a fakeout promotion on GTCP, prior to their next pick, along the lines of the fakeout they did on RARS and AWSR.
