I posted this on another board. You guys can delete it if you like but I thought it was a pretty fun piece:
I hear people complaining because it's not what they bought into...
Well that's like walking into a bar that's playing disco. You say, wow, this is a place where I could meet the girl of my dreams!! However time goes by and suddenly Disco is not cool anymore, so they started playing rock and roll. So you think you are entitled to listen to Disco still?
No, it's a company, making money serving drinks. They need clientele to make money. Nobody like Disco anymore. If you want the bar to stay open, you can either stay and listen to Rock and Roll, or you can leave. The bar isn't going to let itself go broke, they aren't going to play disco.
You say, but they kept advertising a disco bar! This is clearly a Rock and roll bar now. Well yes, they did, because they wanted the disco bar to work out, And they also knew that once in a while when it was slow they could play disco music. But it happened less and less. You should have seen the writing on the wall- The crowds were less and less every time they played disco, this place was going to go under if they didn't switch genres.
Luckily, the Boss was smart enough to hire a DJ that has a big Rock and Roll collection. But it cost a lot of money. So the bar lowered the cover charge, and now there's a lot of people I don't get along with in here. Your argument is now "but I paid a BIGGER cover to listen to DISCO!".
Well, here you are in a rock and roll bar that's jammin'. But now you are so crowded that you can't get a seat at the bar. You're not happy but you're too stubborn to leave. You sit there fuming in the corner, cursing at the management for making such a shitty change. This bar sucks you say. But, maybe it's still a place where maybe someday I'll meet the girl of my dreams. Time goes by and you continue to sit there and be a jerk to the other customers about how shitty rock and roll is.
Over time, the crowd thins. Rock and roll is kinda passe these days. It's never gonna go away completely, and the bar can continue to do business this way indefinitely, but the bar has certainly had better days.
Now we've still go you bitching in the corner about Disco. We've got a whole lot more rock and roll regulars bitching about how this place isn't as good as Vinny's down the road that plays better music. And well, someone threw a rock through the window a few weeks ago, so now the cold wind is blowing inside and it really is uncomfortable in here.
The owner needs to really step it up. He knows this, but the last time he advertised for a large new concert event, the guys at Vinny's down the street all came over and trashed the place. When they left, nobody wanted to step foot in here for weeks. The owner had to remodel forever it seems like.
So what's he doing now? He's planning a big event again, for the completion of the remodeling. He's decided that if he advertises too much for the event, then the guys from Vinny's will show up again and just trash the place. So I think this time he actually booked a really grade a performance by Pearl Jam. Very big act for this small venue. So he can't advertise, otherwise too many people will show up and again, nobody will have a good time and it would be like everyone paid for nothing.
I think the hope is that the day Pearl Jam performs, with no advertisements, the people who have sat here all this while will actually get to meet the band, have a great time. Could be a life changing experience. As the band is playing, the crowds will come, and it will be a renowned event. Everyone will have a good time, and some will decide to make this their new spot indefinitely.
So to all those Disco fans, maybe you'll start to like the new place once the remodeling is done. Maybe you'll enjoy being able to say you were a part of this before people knew its name. Maybe you'll take the autographs and sell them on ebay and never come back. Either way is fine.
One thing's for sure, bars are great places to hang out. There's always regulars. Sometimes people get in fights. Sometimes they change hands, change genre's to stay in business. If you are into what they are doing, great. If you don't know what's going on, pay careful attention to the writing on the wall. Always know where the exits are in case of fire. And don't forget to tip your servers. You never know when you are going to meet the girl of your dreams.
Sorry, I wasn't online on Friday.
Yes, yes I do. That is really the only reason to create an account here. Found two users that actually match your question so far. Most, if not all, are just coin flips.
Even the most active and most followed, even the ones that can be traced to being pumpers, are still just coin flips. Granted, the returns on a coin flip in a pump and dump far outweigh the losses.
I didn't get any PM. What's up?
Tried to send you a PM- got an error, wondering if you got it... ugh- was a long one and the error wouldn't let me go back to save it....bummer. Thanks
I'll try again at some point if not, had a few Q's. Thanks
And... these are both paying off very, very, very nicely now ;)
Of course it could be... it could also be whale flatulence. So CUBV never broke through... sucks. Guess it is easy to block a pump and dump. ;)
Finally got that learning algorithm up and running.
After years of trying to figure out who the scum are on iHub, finally I have the net set properly. Anyways, back to full time trading.
There is a really scammy p&d setup going on if anyone cares. It tripped a bunch of flags recently.
KG#T
MJ play, RM play, volume surge, complete douchebags pumping. Might be fun to watch.
Yeah that one is a no brainer. The others I leave clues as I go since they are harded to figure out.
Alright, celebration over back to vacay for another month. See you guys.
What a great little world this is iHub. So glad I found it. Err... someone showed it to me.
Been gone awhile... forgot how disingenuous this place is. Fun times.
Whats the impetus there?
What's going on? Everybody set up for the January 1st MJ run? I don't own a damn MJ stock right now.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
I am out of all none-scam plays.
Haven't switched to short yet... though have been buying leap puts.
I would appreciate a little color.
Are you going short?
If all the pieces of the world's economies were dominos... a really large swath of the world just rocked a bit and fell.
I started into a couple of others. There are a couple of these 100-400% bouncers a year. So far, been a great year for them.
Wow- Glad I did too!! I made a solid couple bucks off them on the last bounce. Looks like those CT's were "get outs" after all.
Good thing I stopped playing THLD. Got crushed after hours today.
I didn't consider that. I can try to look into it.
Wondering if you looked at anything related to the "expiration" dates within the forms? I noted that some expire around a year or so after filing, while others expire way out- like 20 years... Wondering if there's any correlation there? SCTY had one this AM- expires in dec17 and dec18...
come on over to the new CENBF board all your friends are there. Just like old times.
The new CEN board is even better when you're a mod. There's one thing ihub does not like and is moderators that go in a edit the intro to remove another moderators input.
Someone removed all the links I posted to those great articles on Cen and Billy. Sent PM to admin and poof, restored. Just hilarious.
So WTF was that with CENBF trading and then getting deleted? Feltz WealthPlan is listing on the NSADAQ institutional pages but the position is zero.
I wonder if one of Billy's minions got confused or something. Or (more likely) maybe someone at FINRA was doing research in preparation for the indictments and fat fingered the status while editing other info. Or maybe the feds just wanted to rattle Billy's cage, stir the pot and see what floats to the top.
He is going to make that on ADMP probably.
I can not make this any easier...

Check the date... well in time to make a trade or 100k.
Can't come up with anything tangible. Still working on it.
Today was a good day for a quick flip. Could have made 25% in a few hours.
Cool, thanks again, I think there might be too and I knew you were the right person to share it with. No rush I'll be in cabo all next week.
So I went through this a couple of times... I need to write some code to test some things and I'll get back to you. I am still not sure there is really anything significant in this... but there might be.
I have, at this point, left the building on THLD and moved on to other stocks... I have dropped hints what they are in different places. But, I will post the results for you to see. Will take a few days to write, collect and review.
You know... I never even looked for something like this. Thanks a lot... I am so used to gathering my own data at this point.
I posted to the THLD board back in December and posted a few times explaining how to play it...
I don't have enough data on filing that motion. I had originally slated THLD for a $3.00 top price but I don't think I will play it again at this point.
I don't like to guess I like data. I am happy $1.00 / share considering I was almost free on the shares.
No, but looking at that, the form CT is interesting. Do you think the CT is for a merger/acquisition? Or simply a hidden cash out? Or is this a dumb question? Thanks!

Anyone follow my breadcrumbs on THLD?
Looking pretty solid today over $2.00
Going back in on BL$H and ADM$. Long-haul plays now 6+months eacg... expect them to drift a bit lower but I want a lot of shares.
Been on vacay for a few months... back now.
$AXGN, I posted about this quite awhile ago.... today is the day I sell.
Remember this one?

$CBAY put out good news today. Shows how solid their drug is.
There will be one. But, it isn't active. Or if it is I haven't paid attention.
That stocktwits account I posted is run by an engineer working at the company. Ask that user if he can post chatter to his feed.
