Thanks, I guess the real question is will these shares be sold in the open market right away? Or will the new owner of the shares hold then for some future date to sell? THANKS..
Yes, equity financing is a fancy name for dilution.
'Equity Financing'
The act of raising money for company activities by selling common or preferred stock to individual or institutional investors. In return for the money paid, shareholders receive ownership interests in the corporation.

hello, new to this board and somewhat new (2 years) to the stock market. I am invested in a bio company called EMIS that is looking to do an "equity financing" to raise money. I understand this to be Emis selling shares to an invester in exchange for cash. My question is will this lower the stock price? Is it the same as dilution where the share are sold right away? The stock has very little volume right now and the pps could not sustain any kind of heavy duty selling without being destroyed...thanks in advance to anyone who cares to answer...
this article spells out both the good and bad effects if you want to read about it:

Thanks. I was sorta hoping they would have to trade in
10,000 multiples under .0999 so they couldn't manipulate
as they do.
they are just changing the requirements for the mm's on how they have to quote sizes according to tiers
I don 't quite know what to make of this. Do penny stocks
have to have a minimum trade of 5000 shares?

Spooky and scare people away? That does sound like Tina.
lol they are ghosts here
Well this seems to be a board for Surviving penny stocks. So that's something.
I was asking an admin why no boards for teaching people how to invest and was directed here. Surprised to find people I knew. I mean Tina?? And Irish?? That's just crazy. How do you keep them in line?
Oh, I know you are! lol NO I wasn't offended. I just had no clue what the heck you were talking about. Survivor? Is there a board for that? lol
I am known for my subtlety. Were you offended? I thought this was the Survivor board.
What? If that was a joke it went right over my head. You're losing your touch derf.
Geez! Look at this board! Who's moderating the moderators? If there was a board that needed me......
In the ibox type Erade or Scottrade in the search box and any posts and opinions already posted will come up.
Any Scottrade, Etrade, or other reviews?
Thank you for your replies. Great board here.
If you want to protect yourself and place a stop order say at $9 so that your minimum loss is a buck, once the price hits your order it will turn into a market order and will sell at what ever price (could be over or under the 9 bucks). If you use a stop limit, it will only fill at $9 or above. So if it started falling really fast and your order at $9 didn't fill, it could go down a few more bucks and it wouldn't sell because you used a limit order. Read this:

CONFUSION - between stop and limit orders!! Ok if I buy a stock at $10 and I want to protect myself should the stock fall in price. What do I use???? A stop or limit order or both??? My brokers customer service reps (annoying) keep referring me to the Knowledge Center. In forex it is very simple u set a Stop loss and a Take Profit and your good to go! Why is it so confusing in stocks??
Ihub app through the app store for IPhone. Under the trade tab when looking up a symbol it gives volume... Example: 1,000 high lighted green, 500 high lighted red. Red = sold? Green = bought, right?
what application are you referring to?
Under the trade tab on mobile... Green is buy, red is sold? Correct?
I'm not sure why you would want to use this if you don't even understand the concept here. I am not familiar with this "or less" action (unless you are using a stop limit). The way I understand a buy stop order is that you put in a price above the current price because you want to only buy the stock on an uptrend and be right there first in line to get shares if they move bigly. Once your price hits your order turns to a market order and it can be filled over or under the price you indicated. If you are using a buy stop limit then it will fill at your price or lower but you don't get the guarantee of a purchase with the limit order.
In terms of what price you enter, if it is trading now at 70.09 and you want it at that price, just buy it there. If you prefer to wait for an uptrend and only want to buy it when it reaches 73.76 (not sure where you got this price) you would use the stop.
OK, here's the deal. YUM was trading at $70.09. Action to take was this - Buy on stop-order at $73.76 or less. Good til 16 Nov Fri.
At what price do I place the order then ? Just over the $70.09 or just under the $73.76. In other words at what price should I place ?
if you use a buy stop order you are anticipating that the price will be moving up - once it hits the price it turns to a market order and gets executed - i am not a fan of that theory - it is basically a way of buying something that is only in an upward trend
Kindly advise the difference between just purchasing a stock below say $73.76 and purchasing same on a buy on stop-order at $73.76 or less. Read about this buy on stop and can't get a handle.
Yup true on both! Thanks for adding to that.
That is correct - the main difference is that one (stop order)will guarantee a sell, but not necessarily at your price because once it hits the price it becomes a market order, and the other one(limit order) means that it will only sell at the price specified but doesn't always guarantee it will trigger when the price hits the target.
Only if your selling above the current price will the limit order work. So say a stock that is at $10.00 and you put a sell limit order at $11.50! That sell limit order will not not go through until that stock that $11.50 mark! A stop would be like if you have a stock at $9.00 and you set a stop lost limit at $8.50, if that stock drops down to $8.50 then the stop order will kick in then your broker will auto sell the stock for you at or around that stop price.
Will a limit sell order work as a stop loss order?
Yup it's good my friend!
I love bigcharts for their historical tab. It's a good tool for cost basis on old stocks you are trying to sell.

I use the ones my broker supplies. If you don't make enough trades to qualify you might want to pay for a service. There are a few free sites but I don't know how good they are.

At one point Etrade was considered one of the worst, and now it is one of the best. That is because a bunch of the "good" brokers who use penson/apex clearing went from really good to really bad. I loved choicetrade until the past year. That is because penson has changed so many rules it is near impossible to trade often in the penny market with them. Choice recently announced that they are switching their clearing firm in a few months. Won't know if this rectifies half their problems until we see it in action. At this point I have stopped trading pennies with choicetrade and only trade them with Etrade. But I encourage you to read that board. Loads of opinions.

I'm interested in finding out how to start a new board for a public company and how to build a company profile page for that company that can be updated with company news, etc. Just don't know where to look for this info. Please email response to bdean@otcpicks.com
Thanks for your input. Regarding the .0001 prices,I realize now they are VERY speculative and not a daytrading tool as much as a longer term 'lark' when the bank account allows it. As I said, I'm learning and responses such as yours are extremely valuable. I appreciate it. I'll have more questions in the future. Good Luck !
First off, never use a market order with penny stocks. Some brokers don't even allow you to use market orders on them. Way too risky. I rarely even use them on the big boards. The only time I ever use a market order is if it is a very busy stock that is moving fast and I know I want in or out at whatever the current price is.
Regarding paper trading. I have said it before. Don't think that if you do well paper trading it means you will do well when you are doing actual trading. And one issue you made is exactly one of my points. You don't know where you are getting your price when you paper trade. If you are selling at the ask, that is an assumption that you can always sell at the ask. It doesn't happen that way. When a stock is moving up, your chances of selling at the ask are better but still not guaranteed. If a stock is down trending, forget about getting a sell fill at the ask. Your question:
When the ASK went to .0002 I sold for an apparent 100% gain. However, the BID was still at .0001. Isn't a sale at the BID price ? If I were to sell my .0001 using MARKET on my sale order when the ASK is .0002 and the BID is .0001 would it have gone through at .0001 or .0002?
It would have filled at the bid price of .0001.
I can warn you that penny stock trading it very volatile and you probably shouldn't be doing it if you have another job that keeps you away from your screen all day. Triple zero pennies are very dangerous and you really shouldn't be starting with them. The spread on them is too big. If you buy 1m shares of a stock at .0002 (at the ask) and you want to unload them right away, you already lost half of what you put in if you wanted to guarantee a sell. At least with the double zero pennies, there is an extra integer so the spread is not that large.
I have not yet begun actual trading. Still learning. VERY interested in these Penny Stocks. My day job prevents me from actively following the action. Novice chart reader, trend follower I guess is my status. Followed newsletters and boards for about 6 months then set up portfolios for around 3 months for each to see who had the best recommendations over time. Learned that you've got to be on top of things, not in at 9:30 and out at 4:00. Recently got hurt (broke heel), so while laid up tried a $2000.00 paper portfolio with IHub and used the streamer,(WOW, that thing is like a Christmas tree at opening bell), to follow the action, selling and buying when I was satisfied or disappointed. My total after 15 trading days is up to $43000.00. That seems high. Something must be wrong. I think that my use of the buy-sell applet is at fault. When selling, the app shows the current ASK price which I used as the selling price. Many of my sales were of .0001 stocks, (MEXP, EFIR), which I had $1000.00 @ .0001 invested. When the ASK went to .0002 I sold for an apparent 100% gain. However, the BID was still at .0001. Isn't a sale at the BID price ? If I were to sell my .0001 using MARKET on my sale order when the ASK is .0002 and the BID is .0001 would it have gone through at .0001 or .0002?
The streamer indicated the last sale price as .0002, I'm assuming a buy because the color was green at the change.
Is it a good practice to use MARKET when things are hectic or take a chance on a firm price for selling ? More questions as they come up, the learning continues. THANKS for your help.
OK Thanks I don't plan on purchasing a company but have noticed average volume of some stocks equate to one to four hundred dollars. Seems kinda small, thought there was a legal reason.
Yes and no. Technically there is no limit. And it then depends on your broker. Some brokers will charge you extra fees over 500k. Some don't. Some brokers who use clearing firm Penson/Apex will not allow you to purchase large amounts in stocks that don't trade often. They have an illiquid rule - which is total bs, imo. I have never, ever been refused a trade based on size from Etrade. I would guess there could be legal issues if you were buying a penny stock and were making a huge purchase where it was a large percentage of ownership of the company.
