Ah, stock pumping… is there a more pitiful and desperate endeavour online? There’s nothing like grown adults who will shamelessly – or, sometimes, simply naively – shill their terrible stock picks in order to make a few meagre extra pennies at someone else’s expense.
Whether it’s a biotech that’s probably never going to pass clinical trials, a speccy miner founded on nothing but cap raises and dreams, or a Buy Now/Profit Never buzzword-filled tech abomination… we want to see your submissions for some of the most desperate, cringeworthy pumping for the ASX.
Week 2 ‘winner’: Pastry1, ASX:BRK
It’s obvious that the stock you’re holding is truly high-quality when you’re relying on desperately trying to encourage social media posts on Reddit in order to get the price to rise.
Especially when it’s a speculative oil and gas play with an $80 million market cap and minimal recorded revenue in the last 5+ years. And one that eats cap raises like Pac-Man does colourful pills.
Congratulations to Hotcopper user Pastry1 for looking like a pauper in rags on the street with tin cup in hand, begging for some stray posters to drop a coin into his starving portfolio.

Week 1 ‘winner’: Kipperoil, ASX:SYA
Everyone knows that when a share price refuses to climb, the only possible reason is invisible boogeymen ‘manipulating’ the share price.
It’s surely not because a company has about a billion too many shares on issue, or a market cap well above what it should be given zero revenue, or the simple fact that there might actually be *gasp* better options out there in the ASX lithium space than the almighty Sayona Mining Limited.
Congratulations to Hotcopper user Kipperoil for exemplifying the true spirit of this award. I can’t wait to see the look on Scomo’s face when he receives your letter in the mail.
