Thats pretty significant.
How do we find the admins?

The ticker is not linked properly closed at 900% tomorrow this will fly
At one point this was up 4000%
weird... Tomorrow should be an interesting day :)
Nah, Scottrade doesn't clear out everything til like 4 or 5 am.
I can still see volume from all other stocks on my watchlist
It was up 3000% at one point!! How did I miss this one :( haha
I think because it's past midnight so they're showing it for Tuesday now.
Man i see that, IHUB and scottrade show 0 vloume for this stock today.
in what world?
It was up 900% today
How the hell is this in the top 10. With no volume today
Tomorrow this will move such a small float
All the naysayers here earlier didn't dig deep enough to see that there's clearly something in the works with CALAQ. This in now will be making some big $$$ soon, IMO.
I agree should be crazy tomorrow
$CALAQ is the real deal. Float is insanely low - today was the perfect example of that. Evolution Lights acquired the shell for one reason - think about it! Product is in big name retailers such as Lowes, Walmart, etc.
A couple simple phone calls by peterminator and myself provides good news :)
I will confirm my conversation with the CFO if and when we speak. Although I don't expect him to share insider info, which he won't, he will at least be able to confirm ownership of the shell stock. And, if he remains tight lipped as to his intentions with it, then we can all assume that there is a good chance something is in the works!
This low floater proved it's power today. Just imagine where a little good news can take the pps!
I just spoke to Peter Levitt http://www.shutts.com/attorneys-Peter-Levitt.html
(Shutts & Bowen (305) 415-9447)again and he has confirmed to me that Evolution Lighting also purchased the rights to "CALAQ" during asset purchase. This confirms NJ415's post. I will do some more phone calling today. This is my last free post on iHub so I will post tomorrow morning on what I find out.
If you are a holder of CALAQ, I suggest you do the same. Let's dig up some facts!
No, I was told he was traveling but will be back in the office tomorrow.
Have you spoken with the CFO yet?
Well a lot of times you get capitulation on these big moves intraday and if you can just hold on 4-5 more days you see another nice pop. After everybody else gives up. I've seen it happens dozens of times, no joke. Hang on. But take that with a big FWIW there are always exceptions.
Came off the highs w/ small volume... I'm still in this and expect to have some action soon.
You lose some you win some!:)
Looks like AFFIQ was the better "Q" play today. I didn't play either one...oh well.
Regardless, without knowing who the new owner is and definitive proof of their desire to take CALAQ public, this is headed back to .000's IMO.
No, Evolution Lighting bought the assets in court and another company took over the name & doing business.

Related:Retailing & Restaurants Catalina Lighting, a Hialeah-based manufacturer, distributor and designer of lighting products, has a new owner.
Boyne Capital Partners, a Miami-based private equity firm, said its Evolution Lighting LLC affiliate bought Catalina’s assets out of Chapter 11.
“As we look to grow the business, Boyne’s considerable experience in the consumer products arena will accelerate our growth and the realization of our business plan,” Catalina CEO Cory Meyer said in a news release. “Aligning ourselves with a proven financial partner such as Boyne provides a solid foundation to promote our growth well into the future.”
Catalina formed a new company called "Evolution Lighting".
Sounds like a load of pumper crapola to me. Evolution Lighting bought Catalina out of BK. A new company was not formed.
We will know soon enough...
