Well, shut my mouth.
Rapper 50 Cent has gone mum on his penny-stock pet project, H&H Imports, not sending a single tweet to his 3.8 million followers on the subject in the last 48 hours, during which time the Clearwater, Fla., company has seen its shares tumble 36 percent.
That’s quite a turnaround from Monday when the rap star, aka Curtis Jackson, helped H&H to a 290 percent jump after using his Twitter account over last weekend to make bullish calls on the company.
Shares soared to 39 cents from 10 cents, but without the help of the 35-year-old celeb, H&H slipped 23 percent Tuesday and 17 percent yesterday — to 25 cents a share.
“HNHI is the right investment for me it may or may not be right for u! Do ur homework,” Jackson tweeted late Monday, his last word on the subject. Jackson owns both warrants and shares of H&H.
Jackson is a director of Sleek Audio, a headset maker that has a marketing deal with TV Goods, an H&H subsidiary, according to federal and state filings. H&H, owned by Kevin Harrington, has yet to turn a profit. Harrington declined to comment yesterday.
