are the common shares being deleted completely?
thanks so much for your time and insight!!!
Try these - they list the ones they can alert you on:

Yeah they can get a market maker if approved, but when they are approved the pps usually goes up. You can search edgar by form type so i wanted to be able to search for companies that had submitted a 2 11. I figured i would be able to do some DD on them and have a good idea if they would get approved or not.
I don't think so. Why do u need to see it? 211 just gives them the ok to be quoted, no?
Is it possible to see 15(c) 2-11 forms through edgar? I dont think it is since edgar is SEC and the 15(c) 2-11 goes through FIRNA, but just wanted to ask and be sure.
Thanks
This forum isn't for help with stock picking. In regards to your "speculative" question - it is relative. What you might think is speculative I may not and vice versa. Are you an investor or are you a trader? An investor would be more interested in the stock's fundamentals. If you have a long time frame you would look into what you mentioned. For me, long term is anything more than a few days. I don't invest, I trade. I mainly play bounce plays so my criteria has nothing to do with good earnings or pe ratio, etc. I have a scan that I set with my own personal perimeters, such as specific exchanges, percentage down, under $5, etc. Sounds to me like you are young and have a long term horizon with your picks. Personally, I don't believe that just because a stock is under $10 makes it more volatile. I have lost loads of money on much more expensive stock in the past. Oh, and BTW, when I first started trading, I wanted to buy AAPL for around $6 and some brain surgeon on Silicon Investor talked me out of it. Told me that it was "under $10" and that Microsoft would eventually put them out of business. This of course was before the birth of the ipod. lol
well you are young so you can afford to invest into stocks that are more risk averse. Me personally i would invest in some speculative stocks but also include proven stocks on the big boards with dividend returns.
New investor, first picks
I just wanted a critique on these picks. I'm 23 just out of college and starting to invest. I have read tons about it so I am not completely uninformed. After sifting through companies while I saved up the money to start with, I have come up with the following four companies:
LLFH
CPBY
SORL
HQS (not sure on this because bad cash flow)
Still deciding on a fifth.
I wanted opinions, I think they are good picks, and diversified, but I am nervous they may be too speculative. I guess that brings me to my main question. Just because stocks are under $10 can you define them as speculative? After all, these have good P/E, revenue growth, low debt, etc. What do you all look at when decided if things are too speculative in your portfolios?
Trim Taxes by Boosting Retirement Savings
Max out your contributions while you can; limits won’t increase in 2010.
By Mary Beth Franklin, Senior Editor, Kiplinger's Personal
http://www.kiplinger.com/columns/taxtips/archive/trim-taxes-by-boosting-retirement-savings-.html
Despite a remarkable rebound in the stock market since last March, your 401(k) balance may still be a mere shadow of its former self. And it’s not just the colossal market crash that’s to blame. Overall, the past decade has been a real disappointment for investors. One of the best ways to fatten your nest egg while trimming your taxes is to max out your contributions to your retirement plan.
This year, you can contribute up to $16,500 to your 401(k) or other tax-deferred retirement accounts, such as a 403(b) for teachers and nurses, or a 457 plan for police officers and other local-government workers. That's $1,000 more than the 2008 limit. If you're 50 or older, you are allowed to put in an extra $5,500 in catch-up contributions, sheltering up to $22,000 of your salary from federal and state taxes this year (although you'll still be nicked for FICA taxes).
Tell your employer to adjust your remaining paychecks to boost your contribution if necessary. Or if you receive a year-end bonus (remember those?), ask whether you can defer some or all of it to your retirement account.
If you are self-employed or have a sideline business, you can stash away even more. And if you can’t come up with the cash just yet, don't worry. You won't have to fund your business retirement account until you file your tax return next spring.
If you are self-employed with no employees (other than your spouse), you can open a solo 401(k) plan and contribute up to $16,500, plus your business can kick in an additional 20% of your net self-employment income until the total pay-in for 2009 reaches $49,000. If you're 50 or older, you can fund an extra $5,500 in catch-up contributions for a total of $54,500 this year.
If you have a sideline business in addition to a job as an employee with a company 401(k), you can't double up on your 401(k) contributions. The same annual limit of $16,500 (plus $5,500 in catch-up contributions if you're 50 or older) applies whether you have one job or more. But you can contribute to a SEP IRA, stashing away up to 20% of your net self-employment income up to a maximum of $49,000 for 2009. SEP IRAs have no catch-up provisions for those 50 and older.

I don't think pinksheet companies have to.
stock is at .004. one other question. isn't a publicly traded company required by law to have yearly shareholder meetings?
Sounds like your typical penny stock. This is very common with otc's and pinks. That is why I highly suggest that you trade them and not invest in them. There is money to be made short term with a lot of them, but once you start getting interested in their story, and go long term, watch out. For every good penny stock that might have potential, there is probably ten times that amount that are like the one you have. What is the ticker of your stock? I'll take a look at it for you, and pm you - I know u r a free member and won't be able to reply but we don't like to discuss individual stocks on this thread so just post me the ticker and I will pm you.
yes it did dramaticly, this seems a sham to me. no notification, dillution to the point of worthlisness. to me this seems like being robed. what
No, no, no. You have that wrong. When a company increases its' authorized, the outstanding usually goes up too because they are issuing shares. That is not a good thing - it is dilution. The more diluted a stock, the harder for the price to go up. When a company raises their authorized or outstanding, that is not a dividend. You still own the same amount of shares of the company. Unless they split the shares, you would still own the same amount of shares and probably the way you describe it, the pps went down, no?
when i bought this stock the company had 100 million authorised shares, last year they increased it to 1.5 billion shares, now i found out that they increased to 3 billion. no yearly shareholder meetings for 3 years. i thought that if a public company increases its authorised shares that existing shareholders stake would be increased proportionly. am i wrong?
Huh? Not following u at all - are you talking about market cap or outstanding shares, and what do u mean should you be compensated?
i hold a large amount of stock in a certain company, when i bought this stock it was capatilized at 100,000,000 shares now it's at 3 billion cap. shouldn't i be compansated for this?
Very good, thanks as always.

J - Other acquisition or disposition
Don't know what it means in relation to your stock in question, but that is the definition of a J coded 4.
Greetings Cintrix, what does the "J" designation mean when an isider files a form 4?
specifically, SUNV filed a form 4 last week for 3m shares and indicated a J for type of transaction....
thanks as always,
Rook
You know for sure that the 400M was a sell?
So when you see a systematic sell off in blocks of 50K, then a big block of 400M as in the case of PRPM, is it time to worry or is there something else at work here?
You can actually purchase the other stock with the unsettled funds, but you can't sell them back until the three days clear. As Don mentioned, if you switch it to a margin account you don't have to wait for settlement, but you do have to be careful of daytrading rules if you have an account under 25k.
Your last trade was a $2,000.00 sale, which will settle in 3 days. Unless you trade with a margin account you must wait for settlement.
question: Waiting on settled funds?
I recenty sold a stock for $1,000 profit. ( I paid $1,000 and sold it for $2,000). I held the stock for 1 month.
Can I purchace another stock with $1,000(of the proceeds) and sell the next day or does the settled funds rule apply to the whole $2,000.
That I don't know, but I would read through this sec page on coverage and see if it mentions it:
http://www.sec.gov/investor/pubs/analysts.htm
Yes, I realize each situation is different and noted that in my post. I was just asking for a ballpark figure, say maybe for a company with less than 100 employees for example.
Coverage? You mean analyst coverage? I have no idea. I would think each situation would have a different time frame considering circumstances.
Once coverage is initiated on a company, what is a general time frame for completion? I know every company is different and other variables come into play, but just curious about a ballpark guess. Thank you
You know I can be wrong but I always thought that one of the not so good points of owning preferred stock was that they didn't have voting rights like the commons. I'll have to look that up. I have never owned preferred shares. I know they get taken care of first over the commons if the company liquidates.
Do the votes of preferred shares always surpass the rights of the common? Do decisions made by the preferred always rule, make up the majority for voting/decision making?
Well, he is right. The preferred shares are not part of the common shares. 3B outstanding commons? Well, I would be concerned with the size of the os - hope you didn't pay more than .0001 for that, but that is jmo.
Should we be concerned with this answer from IR? A pinkie, share structure unknown except the common A/S and O/S. No idea how many, cost, of preferred. Inquiries were essentially trying to establish valuation. If preferred hold 51% controlling interest, and there are 3bb common, are there in fact an equivalency of 6bb shares
floating around?
"The preferred shares control 51% of the company regardless of whether there is 1 preferred share or 62 trillion. They are not part of the 3,000,000,000 common shares.

Be very careful about promoting another site here on Ihub - that is a no-no!
You have to decide if you are an investor or a trader. I am a trader and rarely hold anything more than a few days. I traded a bunch of C and decided to just hold a few shares long term that I bought under two bucks.
SWEEEEEET!
My natural instinct is to hold that stock for 5 years as I want to believe it is going to go to $40.
However, that is the thinking that killed me in the 2000 crash.
Because there are so many stocks beaten down and the "take profits at every opportunity" has been working so well, I'm reluctant to get caught up in the euphoria.
I even just added a new exit rule that takes me out of any position after 10 days, just to weed out the non-movers and free up the funds for other stocks that are moving.
Oh yea! Beware of fund managers doing window dressing for the next few days as we approach the end of the month!
Don't get caught too Long when the market tumbles!
I don't believe this run-up is real for a second.

Goodbye mutual funds Hello CoolTrade Robotic Traders
ot - Oh yeah, Keith there were some unbelievable bargains from last year at this time. I still have some C that I bought in the 1.50's.
Better than that, AIG was 0.40 a few months ago, and Citigroup was about $1. I did a query 5 months ago for stocks that were down 90% from a year earlier and got about 90 stocks. They are almost ALL up over 100% from their lows now.
I only trade stocks under $7 a share and only buy if they are down 5% from the previous day's close price. Thus far, they bounce up 5% to 10% in a few days.

for anyone looking for info on filings for a specific company http://www.secinfo.com/
LOL that is a loaded question. Depends on who you ask, I guess. I have been trading them for a number of years. My opinion is that as long as you are trading them and not investing in them you can make money. There are few and far between very good penny stocks. Most of them are diluted pigs and they are trading on the pinks and otcbb for a reason. But that doesn't mean there isn't opportunity to short term trade them and make money on them. They can be quite dangerous to someone who doesn't understand them. Personally, right now, there are so many cheap nasdaq, nyse, and amex stocks out there under five bucks that I prefer to trade at this point. But if you go here:
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/board.aspx?board_id=2199
you will see the penny market has been on fire recently.
Very interesting, thanks for the info. I wonder if they pay below the average interest rate? I still would rather have my money scattered in a couple of institutions then at one place.
cintrix...As to our discussion a while back there is one way to go over the 250,000 limit at one bank and still be insured.
In fact, up to 50 mil.
Not all banks participate in CDARS, but those that do offer this!
Check this out....interesting!

Yes they are ALL bad!!!

That's easy. Thanks
Float is outstanding shares minus the restricted.
Nope, not without doing some research first. It would seem there isn't too many customers with LLC ,s in my neck of the woods. Both banks admitted that they should know the answer but they were going to check to make sure.
I'm willing to max out the balance at each bank as long as I know for certain how much FDIC will cover for!
I should know more shortly.....frustrating! I may have to take on additional banks.
Trying to do this with as few banks possible, for now anyways.
As long as the money is insured, that's my main concern!
