Does the pps of a stock typically go up more when a merger agreement is announced or when it actually closes? If it goes
up more after closing, is it usually significantly more,or is
it impossible to predict?
yeah it is possible - depending on the price of the stock and the volume it does - but I wouldn't recommend doing that lol
Is it possible to buy $50000 worth shares in pinkie land based on momo and sale fast with profit? TIA
very helpful, thanks!
I think when you see a small amount of T trades it is just previously unrecorded trades. But if you see a slew of T trades coming in after the bell it could very well be dilution. I can't recall the ticker but there was one recently that went up during the day and then after the bell there were loads and loads of prints under the current ask. I never saw so many late prints. The next day it opened up with a few upticks from the previous close (before the t trades) but then it plummeted hugely after the first few prints.
Yes, perfect. Is there a connection between T trades and dilution/short trades to cover?
TIA
Form T? Are you talking about T trades? T trades are late posted trades. They could be trades that went through during the trading hours but weren't posted.
Q102.4: If a trade is not reported within the time period prescribed by the trade reporting rules, must it still be reported?
A102.4: Yes. If a trade is not reported within the time period prescribed by the trade reporting rules (e.g., within 30 seconds of execution), it must be reported as soon as practicable and shall be designated as late. Trades that are required to be reported on trade date, but are not reported on trade date, must be reported on an "as/of" basis on a subsequent date (T+N) and shall be designated as late. Trades that are required to be reported on an "as/of" basis the following business day (T+1) (e.g., certain trades executed outside normal market hours), but are not reported on T+1, must be reported on a subsequent date (T+N) and shall be designated as late. See Rules 6282(a), 6380A(a), 6380B(a) and 6622(a).

A question about form T...
sometimes i've seen a form t in AH (only one form T).
The reason is:
1. MMs cover their own short trades?
2. dilution?
or what else?
TIA
Sometimes you will find that the brokers who charge less commission offer less tools. I trade using both Etrade and Choicetrade. I do enough trading with Etrade so that I am eligible to use their Power Etrade tools which include Pro and MT and I use Choicetrade for a good portion of my short term trading since they are only $5 a trade.
Any one use optionshouse for trading?
Or what would be less costly but provide same level of tools as ameritrade for pennies?
Thank You in advance
Tog
Thank you so much for explaining that to me, great explanation.
No, absolutely not. Those are assumptions that if the trade was on the bid it was a sell and if the trade was on the ask it is a buy - here is Ihubs explanation of their trades tool:
The 'Buy', 'Sell' and '?' columns - Where the 'Price' is closest to the 'Offer' price, the trade is considered a 'Buy'. Where it is closest to the 'Bid' price, the trade is considered to be a 'Sell'. Where it is dead centre between 'Bid' and 'Offer', it appears in the '?' column; this indicates that the trade cannot be identified as either a 'Buy' or a 'Sell'.
Note the terminology they use: considered
I am not a fan of that tool. I can't tell you how many times I would sell something on the ask. It would sell in partials and I would see people on Ihub yelling "buys are coming through" and I laugh because I know they were sells. Also the same thing for buying at the bid. There is a certain board here and I won't name it where they have no clue about buying on the bid and think every time there is a print there it represents a sell.
But if I look at the "trades" screen for a stock, and it has a column for cumulative buys and cumulative sells, as well as columns for "buy" and "sell" with a certain amount, don't those refer to shares bought and sold?
How do you know for sure if those shares were sells? Someone could have been buying at the bid all day. Just because you are seeing prints at the bid doesn't mean it is a sell.
Can someone please assist me in understanding this: How can a stock end the day with 3.5 million shares sold, and only 400,000 purchased and still end the day with no change in the share price (there were fluctuations throughout the day, but it ended unchanged)?? Doesn't the selloff create a larger supply of shares and thus people do not bid as high? Where are these shares going, that people are selling?
PLEASE excuse my ignorance...these are just fundamentals I have never reconciled.
Go into Manage and then select Manage Email. But I think if you are a mod or a co-mod it defaults to your email when you open it.

wow excellent info in box for learners!!!
Does anyone know when the ihub iphone app is supposed to come out?
I have never been a majority shareholder so I wouldn't want to give you the wrong advice. I don't know if you need to buy in increments and what you need to do legally. Maybe you should get advice from an attorney that specializes in equities.
Yes. Public company, but I dont know the way how to buy it. Filling is something I have to do in that case so it shouldnt be any problem. Whats the case if it is a private company? Thank you once more.
That would make you a majority shareholder at 50% or more. Are you talking about a public company? Then you would run into all types of filing requirements like a 13D once you own over 5% or a form 3 at over 10%.
I would like to become a 50 % owner of some company, how can I do that? Thanks in advance.
Say what? Are you talking about becoming a shareholder in a public company or are you talking about buying a private company?
I don't use Ihub tools so I have no idea what you are talking about. Since you seem to think it is an Ihub problem I suggest you post that to them here:

What is the easiest way to buy some company? I just buy their outstanding shares? Please help.
I think I may have found the answer, to part of my question. After reading backward into IFRS posts, I found evidence that it has to do with a certain SEC requirement. Apparently until that condition is met, the MMs refuse to release the daily buy/sell information, and are only required to show that "some sort of trade" occurred. What doesn't make sense now is why only IHUB's charts will not show volume+, yet other charts will. Can it have to do with the "information provider" being used, for IHUB charts? I'm not sure who that is, and whether it is their choice not to provide it to IHUB(or IHUB users?).
Hey. I've got a technical question about IHUB's volume charts. I've found a stock that seems to have only(and entirely) green volume ticks, for all chartable time of the stocks' existence. It doesn't make sense to me. I'm used to seeing the occasional green tick or two, but for the most part, your average stock will have red/blue ticks, for most of its day/month/year charting. I see the definition of a green vol. tick as "unknown volume as it was done between bid/ask". The stock in question, IFRS , shows only green ticks forever, and never a red or blue tick. This is of course on the basic IHUB quote/charts screen. What's strange is that when I view the volume charts of IFRS anywhere else, they show all volume consisting of normal blue/red buys and sells. Can anybody explain such a thing? I haven't found it anywhere else, on IHUB's charts. Thanks in advance.

Is there a stock screener for penny/otc/pink stocks?
No, I don't know of a site, but I think you could figure it out by just looking at the price relative to the shares outstanding (or if there is a huge restricted, the float). For example, I don't like to buy anything with an outstanding over a billion although a lot of people on ihub do. But say there is a triple zero stock with an os under 500M, I would consider that a decent size. But if you showed me a five cent stock with an os of that size I wouldn't like it. It is all relative the price it is trading at.
Do you know of a place that would give good examples and such.
I would like to learn this.
That depends on the price.
Share Structure Numbers
What would be considered High, Average, and Low Share structure.
What would be considered High, Average, and Low Float?
On the home page there is a video chart section, you can check those out. As far as message boards there's a few, start with this one and work from there.. http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/board.aspx?board_id=12087
What are the best places to learn about technical trading on this site?
Yes, if you put a market order in, you will get filled at the best possible price - if it is a sell order most likely at the bid. If you are trading pennies I would highly suggest that you never use a market order. Some brokers don't even allow using market orders on penny stocks. And yes the X means that it is the: bid x ask
Thanks a lot man!
So what you're saying is that there is a possibility, but no guarantee that an order submitted via market order can get filled at the ask price as well (also with limit order?).
If the order however does NOT get filled at the ask price it will get filled at the bid price completely or at least partial.
So Number X Number stands for bid x ask price?
If you wanted to sell, say 1 M shares, at .0009 and the b/a was .0008 x .0009, there could be a possibility that your sell order would get filled at the ask, but there is no guarantee. If you wanted a guaranteed sell you would have to place your order at the bid price, and providing they had enough to sell you at the price it would fill. If you placed an AON (all or none) then it would be considered a special order and it would only fill if they had those shares to sell you. If you placed it as a regular limit order at the bid and they didn't have enough shares there is a chance they would sell you a partial amount and then downtick the bid to .0007.
So basically the answer is as long as there is enough shares to sell you, you can fill your sell order if you place it at the bid price for at the least a partial fill and hopefully a complete fill.
Yes, sorry I've meant to say limit order.
So I've placed a limit order at VRNI at 0.009 and the the ask was already at that price, but the bid was at 0.0008. So my question is, if limit orders get triggered if the price is reached at the bid site.
Obvisously...
I think you have market orders and limit orders confused here.
I've sold a tiny traded Stock VRNI (Virogen OTCBB) at the ask price via market order, but it didn't get filled at the price I wanted (ask) but at the bid price.
If you entered a sell order using a market order, they will fill it immediately at the best possible price, which is usually the bid price. If you placed that sale using a limit order at a specific price, they would fill it at the price you entered or higher, not at a price below what you entered. I am not really understanding what you did, unless maybe you placed a Stop Limit Order, instead of regular limit order. When you place a stop order, you're placing an order that will turn into a market order when the stock reaches the stop price.
My broker is zecco. I've sold a tiny traded Stock VRNI (Virogen OTCBB) at the ask price via market order, but it didn't get filled at the price I wanted (ask) but at the bid price.
So as a conclusion, I assume that the price you enter for a limit sale order corresponds to the stocks bid price right? Because the price I've set for my stock was reached on the ask side but not on the bid site, therefore I did not get triggered and I've sold via a market order.
Thanks, Jimmy. In the time we have spent over the past few years answering questions, I have to say that was the first rude reply I have ever come by. Most of the people here are very kind and appreciative even if they may not agree with what is said.
