Fortune Industries, Inc. (fka FDVF)

[Trth4Sail]

People are looking for this to react like an OTC - its not going to!

This is a big board stock and the moment it was pumped the SEC halted it as they do!

Its fully reporting and under SEC regulations! Darth should have known better IMO - decent company but to pump it was a mistake!

[BreakoutSTK]

-50% tomorrow. The pump is over.

[Ill like Kobe]

FFI anyone think this has juice left? I heard things are happening but the volume doesn't seem to think so.

[Trth4Sail]

Been watching this since yesterday, curious as to where it could go but it seemingly continues to decline :-/

This is truly remarkable.  The internet is on fire with talk about FFI, and we had yet another catalyst unleashed late yesterday evening.

 

Take a look:

 

http://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/13/03/3426307/benzingas-small-cap-movers-for-monday-march-18-2013

 

Leading financial media site Benzinga.com initiated coverage of FFI yesterday around 7pm, listing it in FIRST place as its top Small Cap Mover under their "Long Trading Ideas" section.

 

Benzinga.com is HUGE!

 

This has only happened one time before, when Benzinga.com covered one of my past picks after it had a huge Day 1, and also listed that stock as its #1 Microcap Mover.

 

That stock was WNYN, which up until CNCT was my best winner of all time.

 

But WNYN was #1 under Microcap Movers.  FFI is #1 under SMALL Cap Movers. 

 

That makes a world of difference.  Big time money like hedge funds and the like do not, generally speaking, touch microcaps or anything on the OTC market.  Big time money LOVES undervalued, catalyst driven, big board plays and FFI should tickle the buying bone of some of the biggest players on Wall Street...something my other picks never even have a chance to do.

 

 

I believe there literally will never be another play like FFI again.

 

 

The power of FFI, and why you'll likely NEVER see anything like this again, can be summed up like this.

 

 

Most times when there is a "pick" issued by a newsletter (including mine), there are insiders who want to sell some of their stock to you.  With FFI, the company insiders actually want to buy your stock from you...and at a huge premium to the market price.

 

 

The insiders at the company know they have something extremely valuable on their hands and are willing to throw a few small time investors a bone and hand them what seems like a huge profit in order to gain control of their stock, take the company private, and gain almost total control over an extraordinarily valuable private entity.

 

But the shareholders seem unwilling to be bought out, even at, as of Friday's close...a 205% premium over the market price.

 

It almost sounds too good to be true, but their very recent SEC filing confirms this is what management is attempting to do.

 

While I certainly would NOT rely on a deal like this going through, it certainly is a major catalyst for extreme trading gains.

 

Why would it not go through?  Because many shareholders feel the price offered of 61 cents is a rip off.  This is a fact.  I did some research and was able to find that some shareholders have gone the route of threatening or actually filing lawsuits against management, alleging that the 61 cent price offered was indeed, a rip off.

 

While it's tough to determine what FFI could be worth exactly, the rare assembly of multiple extremely powerful catalysts would suggest in my personal opinion that its share price could easily exceed $1 or more in the near term.

 

Take an already extremely small float, add the fact that insiders actually want to BUY that extremely small public float back from shareholders in an attempt to take the company private at a steal of a deal, and enrich themselves greatly in the process.

 

I say we tell them to take their lousy 61 cent offer and SHOVE IT!

 

Just joking, you should of course consult with a licensed professional and make prudent and risk-minimized investment and trading decisions.

 

But I'm not joking about real actual shareholders being outraged at a 61 cent offer.

 

(Remember, companies can use all sorts of tricks to get out of paying you anyway.  So I would not rely on this offer, and I personally instead view this as purely a major catalyst for potential immediate term trading gains.)

 

So if the big boys aren't liquidating stock, and want to buy up the little bit is out in there in the public float...could this end up being the biggest rally to hit the NYSE MKT in recent history?

 

Only time will tell, but I certainly can't recall ever seeing so many powerful catalysts going off at the same time.

 

Read my recap from yesterday's close below to learn about ALL of the massive catalysts, from being yesterday's #1 gainer in the Big Boy market, the upgrade to the ultra-rare 100% BUY rating at Barchart.com.  From the super low fundamental ratios like P/E and P/S, to a float that is so tiny that I believe triple digit gains are headed our way AGAIN today.

 

I've never been this excited and I'm begging you not to miss this one.

 

 

 

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

 

 

What a day!!  Truly amazing, yet again.

 

Before we talk about the huge news, my little "secret" I was saving for Day 2, let's talk about what happened today.

 

FFI was the #1 Gainer in the NYSE MKT!

 

#2 Gainer was up 15%, so let's just say FFI may have gotten a little bit of "extra attention" for its performance, and that will cause EVERYONE to be watching FFI for a further breakout tomorrow.

 

FFI hit a high of .77 today, representing a 285% gain!

 

That's a gain of 166% over the open, and we're just getting started.

 

At the close, FFI was up 145%. 

 

Triple digit gains may be common on the OTC market, but on the NYSE MKT it's something you almost never see.  This WILL blow everyone out there away, and create a HUGE audience for tomorrow.

 

Do you know how many people check the day's top gainers for the NYSE MKT, compared to how many check the day's top gainers for the OTC market?

 

I'd imagine 5-15x more traders check what's going on in the NYSE MKT than check the OTC market.

 

Despite the fact that a lot of big newsletters released a lot of "big picks" today, FFI still traded record-breaking volume.  With huge winners, volume tends to increase each day.  If FFI stays strong, and tomorrow's volume is as big as I think it will be, today may have just been the tip of the iceberg.

 

And unlike iceberg lettuce, which has no flavor and virtually no nutritional value, this iceberg is teeming with flavor AND nutritional value.

 

 

FFI also topped many lists today that track the market's overall best performers, regardless of what exchange they trade on.



 

That's a LOT of buzz for FFI that was generated today.

 

I love the way FFI looked as the #1 Gainer on TheStreet.com, famous as the site of Kingpin Jim Cramer:

[WSNewbee]

This could go both ways... back to pre pump sp or it holds. Good Luck!

[fibersquash]

What exactly has the Psycho done that's illegal?

[McInc]

the Stock Psycho made a huge mistake this time (imo): PD's should always stick to the OTC land, companies trading beyond OTC have their hands tied and the SEC on their ass as soon as they start the manipulation..also these companies are usually current on their filings with the SEC so information is very public and readily available. there is little room to play here even if the company itself wants to work with the promoter..
Pumps-and-Dumps should ALWAYS stay on the OTC/PINK. -- that's where the players/traders/gamblers are...hence the market for these POS stocks; you leave the OTC/Pink land, you leave your supply/demand behind..

[WallStreetMyWay]

BB&T, Morgan Stanley, Rhumbline Advisors, UBS AG, and even Wells Fargo are listed as Major FFI Shareholders according to the latest report!!

[stox777]

Float just over 4 million.. not sure why NYSE stock can be at .20s for so long.

[stox777]

Fortune Industries, once a diversified company, has successfully shifted its focus to become a Pure-Play Professional Employer Organization (PEO)! This transitioned Fortune Industries into the 5th largest publicly traded PEO in the United States, with $30 million worth of assets.

Ya, pretty interesting...

[renoldman]

[iiFrostbite]

Stock Psycho put this out on his newsletter this morning.

[sidedraft]

Good question. First the open was delayed.
I thought this was supposed to be a 60¢ buyout for those how held less than 501 shares, but we have traded as high as 77¢ this morning.
No news?

[DeadCellShadix]

So what's the deal here?

[WallStreetMyWay]

LOAD NOW!! Fortune Industries, Inc. (FFI)

[Pennybuster]

FFI , make about 200 bucks? >>> Each record and beneficial owner of the Company Common Stock (the “Holder”) holding fewer than five hundred one (501) shares thereof on the date of the Merger Agreement and until immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”) (including any heir or devisee of such Holder holding such shares pursuant to the laws of descent and distribution in that Holder’s domicile), such Holder’s shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be canceled and extinguished and automatically converted into the right to receive Sixty-One Hundredths Dollar ($0.61) per share, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes (the “Small Block Holders”) (a 22% premium over the volume weighted-average closing price of our Common Stock during the 30 trading days before the Company’s board approved the transaction);

[Roy London]

watching for a bit

[today32]

You loading back up here at $0.24?

[Roy London]

I sold on D-TOP..watching for re-entrance

[LogicalGains]

hope we will get to 50 cents in couple of days

[Roy London]

TARGET .50

[LogicalGains]

run continues... hoping to test 52 wk high next week

[today32]

LOL, how is there no chatter going on today?!? Almost hit $.39 earlier on 500k volume so far.

[LogicalGains]

Agree.. this was trading in 40 cents+ range just last march.. that too with the merger.. I see more room to go from here.. with trading float 4.8 millions.. this can move faster on more $ volume

[softballdaddy]

Profit takers EOD...nice green close should alert scanners

[today32]

Looks like we'll need a power hour push to get back to .29/.30

[softballdaddy]

I think this may be the catalysts to get back to the old PPS of spring

[today32]

Before the going private announcement, this thing was holding $.40, so I bet we'll be back there soon.

[softballdaddy]

I want this to close above .29 (200MA) .30 or above and this flies tomorrow and coming week I believe

[today32]

We've hit $.30... I'm looking for that 93k at $.30 to be cleared out before the close, with a HOD close at $.31 or $.32.

[softballdaddy]

This one is an unknown quantity, but awareness has begun I believe

[AliEn BRaInZ stox]

Sm Cap Momentum stocks $FFI Fortune industries ^75% 775 trades & 639K shares traded

[softballdaddy]

Great news, I think we have a great chance

[today32]

Folks are happy with the news, I wonder if we hit $.30 today...

[today32]

Is this thing being shorted? The amount of downward pressure on it is crazy.

[dav1234]

kinda sucky,lol, u think it sticks?

[today32]

You are correct, the 3/26 record date stipulation wasn't announced until it was included in the filing.

[cintrix]

That's not the "or" I was referencing. This one:
(i) on March 26, 2012 or (ii) on the effective date of the merger

[dav1234]

when was 3-26-12 officially stated as "record date" ?,wasn't on PR on 3-26-12..and the ex-date would have been 3-21/22-12..seems a bit shady to me but i get that company doesn't want to give away free money,lol.


similiar thing happening on HMPR..tankage after ex-rights date..with today as record date

[dav1234]

Upon the completion of the merger, each outstanding share of Common Stock owned by beneficial or record holders of 501 or more Shares: (i) on March 26, 2012 or (ii) on the effective date of the merger (the “Large Block Holders”) will continue to own the Common Stock of the Company which they currently own, which will be deemed to be shares of the surviving corporation’s common stock


yeah for more than 501..under 501 but after this record date is unclear

[today32]

It states two qualifications to be considered a "Small Block Holder" (Own 500 or less shares on 3/26 + hold until Merger is completed). Then says all others will keep their shares after the split.

"If you are not a Small Block Holder you will continue to own your shares of Company Common Stock which you owned prior to the Merger."
