News should be out any day now IMO... Back to the 30's is coming.
LMAO.... someone is trying to shake some money out of ESND for sending a fax.... LOL... NON ISSUE...
I owned a business and we got unsolicited fax's everyday for different companies to sell their products. We just trashed them and moved on LOLOL...
Alpha Teck Pet, Inc. and Craft Wood Lumber company must on their way out of business if they have enough time to go after this kind of business for sending a fax LOLOL... Who has the time and manpower to go after that kind of Chit unless they need that $1000 reward they may or may not get. What a waste of time and energy....
More news will be coming and that will send this back to the 30's. Possible this week or next IMO.... just a matter of time now.
Yes, I must to take care of "la migra" (border patrol) hahahaha.
In fact I live in Mexico, but I have my account in US.
Well, the bears wants to break the bottom, but repetitively, I see less volume.
LOL... They have to find ya first to deport you... Just kidding of course... Welcome to American however you got here Towers... Yes no doubt this is on its way back to the 30's. Just need some good new to Drop... Leaving for out of town golfing for a couple days... GO ESND
I agree with you link,
I hope ESND will returns to 30's maybe the next Q.
It will be great if that happens, because I need to get some dollars to pay part of Trump's wall... LOL (yes,I am Mexican).
Greetings to all ESND bulls.
Thinking the selling off is finished for now and the accumulation is in the plan for newbies getting in on the cheap. Lots of newbies had jumped on board in the last few days and started to buy along with some Longs buying more as well at these prices.
Now everyone is sitting just waiting for positive news for it to run back to where it was just last couple weeks ago in the 30's at least. ESND is a super strong company with HUGE Rev's, with a low OS, and has paid out dividend many times over the years. What a great investment.
Yes for sure I see we are starting a uptrend would be nice if it broke the $ 21.00 range by end of the week .
We need todays kind of volume to stick around. Looks like a very nice day here.
ESND
Hi,
Check the volume, every fall is with less and less volume.
Patience pays off...
Thanks TI... The volume is mostly buying trades so your probably right.
The bounce is in...
