Acquisition Question
How does an acquisition work for shareholders?
If I don't own any of the two companies stocks and read about an acquisition and want to buy the stock for the gain, would I be part of the agreement of the price to be purchased at?
The company being acquired stock price is $9.00 and the other company agreed to acquire all outstanding shares at $16.00.
Hope this makes sense.
Thanks
Thanks Cintrix!
Ok, I have two reasons I can give you.
For one thing, there actually was a problem with orders via market makers today. Etrade was having problems with all day where orders were sitting and they weren't getting execution confirmations. I spoke to them about it and they said it was a gliche that was not on their end. Now, I had no problem getting orders filled with choicetrade today.
The second reason I will offer is that you are using GTC. I have no idea how valid this is, but a good friend of mine who was a broker once told me to always use a day order over a GTC - that they fill faster. I remember him telling me "if you have to put the order in everyday, then do it over using a GTC" - I have never heard of anyone else offering this theory so take it for what it is worth.
Topic: Sell/Buy orders not being filled.
Can anyone provide an explanation for the following scenarios where my order is not being executed? It happens once in a while for me but I got extremely frustrated when it happened three times today. Please note I do not use AON orders.
1) RPTN: Was watching L2, saw shares go through at .0245 so I lowered the ask to .024 as I've been trying to close out my position. Saw 3720 shares printed at .024 but they weren't mine. Got mad so I lowered the ask to .0239 and the 30000 shares that printed at .0239 were not mine again! What gives? I saw L2 change seconds after I put in my sell order both times so I know I was first in.
2) WCRM: Had a GTC sell order at .295 since last week. This morning shares went through at .3 and .299. Once again, my order was not filled. *note I did not see L2 reflect my .295 sell but I often encounter this situation and the order will usually fill.
3) MBHIQ: Have been trying to accumulate shares at .0051 but no luck. I've had a GTC buy order for well over a week now, and 5,400 shares were sold at .005 today, below my price of .0051. *Again the mm did not show up on L2 at .0051 with my buy order
Would really appreciate an explanation. TIA.
Depends upon how much you really want it. There are many times when you place a buy at the bid price and you don't get the fill. When you place a buy at the ask you are more likely to get filled. There are some times when even placing a buy at the ask doesn't work because the stock is in huge demand and the price keeps upticking - in that case, people who really want shares will place an order over the ask.
when placing a buy why would you pay asking price instead of bid price?
Any public company will have stock for sale on the market.
The market maker listed for SUNR is:
SUNR ,O ,SUNRISE SECURITIES CORP. ,NASDAQ TRADING ,212-421-9044
SUNR ,O ,SUNRISE SECURITIES CORP. ,NEW YORK, NY ,212-421-1616
If you think they are in some way related you can call those numbers and inquire.
I'm sorry ,I came across SUNR on a L2 last week and was wondering if it was apart of (SUNR)sun sports they talked about making (SUN Investment & Finance Inc) and was wondering if it was related
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=41473268
not quite sure what u r asking, but sunr mm is:
SUNR M Sunrise Securities Corp. NASDAQ TRADING 212-520-2969
Thanks I found then on other L2 also but no one can give me a answer..lol most likely it is just a coincident ? but if it is not it will be good for sunr
That is a "stock specific" question and not for this board. Try asking on the lken board where people who watch it might be able to answer it.
I'm wondering if sunr is new on the L2 for LKEN ? SUNR was getting into finance and am wondering if they are the same

or if it a coincidence for the SUNR ??
can any one find out ?
what exactly is equityfeed screener ??
I don't have that software but there must be some kind of perimeters you can set for < a certain price, picking the exchange, and volume incr of over a certain %.
Can anyone help me setting up equityfeed screener criterion for sub pennies... I want a screener that picks up sub pennies in accumulation (before the MOMO plays...)....
thanks in advance
Huh? What do you mean? Are you showing an ask price? Did you put a buy order in at the ask and not get filled? I'm not quite following you.
If I am interested in a stock, how do i know if there's even any stock available.
Thanks for your reply.

Question regarding Insignia Systems, Inc. (ISIG)
So this company anounced a $2 per share special dividend, payableon May,2,11 yet trading is very very slow.
What is wrong with this picture? Is the pps going to tank the closer we get to the payday?
Thanks for your help.

That is an Ihub-related question that you can post here (I have no idea how they calculate their most popular boards):
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/board.aspx?board_id=504
Just curious, I've been watching the Breakout Boards and was wondering what the criteria actually is to make the board. I see the % but what does it mean. Thanks
I mainly use my own perimeters. It all depends on what type of trades you are looking into. I am a bounce player so I have my nasdaq plays set at a drop of 15% or more. For the pink and otcbb's I set the % much higher. There are so many selections you can make - you have to decide for yourself what type of plays you are looking for - volume, % up, % down, new highs or new lows, etc.
do you use their predefined strategies or do you creat your own?? What "triggers" are the best to look for when trading penny stocks?
I see them now, thank you very much. The one place I didn't look.

I like etrade for the tools they provide. I use both them and choicetrade - choicetrade charges a few dollars less a trade ($5)- there are good and bad regarding both - that is why I use two different brokers. At one point I was using three different brokers - had Ameritrade too - but that got a bit hairy after awhile.
cintrix - are you happy with E-Trade for penny stocks? I have been using Scottrade but have been advised that E-Trade offers better pricing and more tools. Your thoughts? How does their Strategy Scanner work?
I'm now also. Thanks Not sure what was going on earlier
I am logged in without any problems.
Anybody use E-trade here? For some reason I can't get logged on this morning and just curious if anyone else is having problems
That is a lot of money for a trade. Aren't they supposed to be a low commission brokerage? Makes no sense unless the company isn't dtc eligible - did you call them and inquire?
Hello. New Here and at trading. Am currently using Trade King and wanted to by CXLT and they wanted $75.00 or more but I wouldn't know till processed. It is pink sheet. Who would charge just a standard fee? Thanks, Dave
thanks I just need to keep hearing that
Unfortunately we do not give stock specific advice on this board. I don't know anything about the company, but as with any penny stock, be very careful and don't drink the koolaide. I can tell you this. I trade penny stocks, I don't invest in them. Do they have potential of making money for people? Yes, but they also pose huge possibilities for potential loss. Even the ones with the huge runs eventually come back down.
I am brand new to pennies/pink sheets and have followed the message boards for EYSM. What I am hearing makes sense like the company is actually making profit etc,but just now am reading the welcome and what to do,what NOT to do and am SLOWLY realizing I may be about to fund someone's vacation.Can someone look at EYSM who doesn't have money in it,preferably a seasoned trader,and confirm they think I'm a newbie sucker,or this is one of the very few possible real things???
You may be right - I rarely dig back on old news because I am generally a very short term bounce player and I am only concerned with why the stock is down at the moment. BTW, you should be using Pro for their Strategy Scanner tool - it is invaluable.
Thanks for your help. I'm going to fire up my Market Trader Pro software, to see if it provides me with older "news". First I have to dig up the old password I was given, about 6 months ago. Thanks for the tip, though. I should be using that software anyway, just for the L2 it provides........Just got your most recent post.......True. Maybe it's just me, and I'm "dreaming" that I used to be able to read way way back into a company's news........I believe the "big" explaination for the changes I see, are that perhaps the stocks affected USED to be listed on OTCBB, and have had a change to OTCQB status. Maybe that is considered to be a "clean wipe" of a stocks history, and a "new start". That's the only explaination I can come up with.......Thanks again for your help.
Yeah but even MT isn't showing news from a long time ago.
I realize now that you stated Market Trader, not Marketwatch. My wrong......I use Fidelity's software for my "viewing" normally. Perhaps I should "reload" my Market Trader software, and fire it up, to see the "difference" in the news that it provides, for each ticker. Understand though, Market Trader is a "trading" software, and is a bit different than what I was mentioning, about the "rest of the world", as far as say common ticker info websites, like Yahoo, Marketwatch, Google, IHUB, etc.......
