Ok when u pick your stock on ihub or any stock for that matter . On the top beside the news link there is the trades when you hit that u see the trades and most times it green or red but some times in the middle it will be grey . Why ?
I have no idea what you are talking about. What platform? If it is an Ihub platform, read the sticky - there is a link in there to ask any ihub related questions.
If you look on the trades it shows green & red but sometimes grey what does the grey stand for ? Anyone
They will most likely move to the otcbb or the pinks. Yes, you can still trade them under those exchanges. A lot of times when a stock gets delisted, its' share price takes a tumble due to the delisitng. Sometimes the price drop happens a few days before the delisting and it is priced in by the time it opens up on the other exchange.
If a NASDAQ stock gets delisted due to the price being too low for too long, what happens to shares? Obviously I would still own them, but do they just become much more difficult to trade (due to not being on an exchange ) or would they sort of "automatically" end up on OTC?
Thx!
Yes, agreed level 1 the right number.
Thank you and happy holidays!
I have no idea what you are talking about but if it is in regard to ihub site please read the sticky on top of page.
HAI, how can i eliminate those warnings that there are 2 boards where something has been written ?
sometimes on Etrade there is a bid price that is stuck on level II and it isn't the exact bid or ask price - sometimes refresing the screen helps. u said Market Caster? I know it happens on Pro and Market Trader - they probably use the same feed. Usually level I is always correct when that happens and that is how you can tell.
Ihub via iPad app is delayed and etrade is real time, market caster, but bid much lower on Ihub no matter real time or not. Like .000x versus a penny on etrade. Weird
One of those services u r looking at delayed quotes?
I am looking at stock i want to buy and bids shown between Ihub(much lower price) than what is shown on Etrade? Why is that?
Try to find the board for that particular stock to start. Type the ticker in the 'Search iHub' box.

How about a question on a stock where do go ?
Yep. Even with a cash account where you request the broker not to lend them out, they can refuse. The only way is really by holding the certs but as you noted not very easy to cash them out if they were to go up while you are in possession of the certs.
Nice post. Thanks.
OK, here's the skinny. You are supposed to be able to open a cash account where your shares are not lent out, vs. having a margin account. When you open an account you have the option.
However, the truth is, the brokerage will still use the shares if need be, so that's pretty much moot.
Yes, if you want to hold the certs in kind, you can certainly do that, however, it makes them less liquid and you'll pay a fee to get them delivered. So, to the bottom line, the whole claim of protecting your shares from your brokerage is a spoof. It is a rumor started by those wishing to convince penny stock traders why their stock price is falling.
Just read the below from the SEC.

I think requesting certs is the only way to stop them from lending out shares to short.
No, it's an urban myth.
Some believe that if you but an order to sell above the price it prevents those shares to be lent out to short. I have heard that this is really not true. But you will find many posts about doing this on ihub.
I am new to investing this year and have been follow the boards on some of my stocks. Some posters have talked about "locking" in a sell price on their stock. Does this help keep the shorters from using them? Is this something I should do to all my stocks.
Thanks for help.
What app are you using?
You're welcome and Happy Holidays to you also.
Thank you as that makes sense. Viewing on the app for my iPhone.
Thanks again and happy holidays
Green and red are traditionally Christmas colors and it is almost December so maybe it means ..... SANTA'S COMING! :)
Actually, I'm not sure which platform you are asking about but on mine that would indicate that the ask is currently lower than the previous sales. In other words, a sale went off at 10.00 and since then, the ask dropped to 9.95 all trades at the ask are now lower and shown in red to indicate the price has come down.
On the trades if bar shows half or mostly green on hitting ask but # of trades in red what does this mean?
Sorry...fung got me going...lol Won't happen again.
This board is not to discuss individual stocks and whether they are good or bad. It is for general investor/trading questions.
with an os of that huge they may just have to
Thanks guys...The stock PPS has been going down, and were starting to hear some RS talk, but I thought if the Officers of the company would also be RS'd...they wouldn't dare do it...
Believe it or not it's a 23 YEAR OLD START-UP....BLTA....LOL
yes, it won't change their % of ownership though
IF the shares are outstanding, then yes, all would be reverse split. The question you must discover is, are their authorized, but not outstanding shares in existence, and are their preferred shares issued to the officers.
Let's say a fully reporting company has about 2.5B OS of Common, and the company Officers own a ton of them (registered). If the company affects a RS, would those shares of the Officers also get RS'd?
just keep your eyes out for volume and anything posted on pinksheets
FYI very large bid size again today. Same as before starting with over 150 million
Thanks for your help!
Ok, so some interesting activity is a good sign. I would keep your eyes peeled at pinksheets.com and see if they file anything interesting.
They had a dormant website and now it has coming soon posted. They renewed their website a couple of days ago. Yes over 10million shares were traded out of the blue. And most important is the shareholders are anticipating a reversal of a revocation order from the BCSC British Columbia Securities Commission.
Are you seeing any unusual volume? I would be more excited with that. If it is an issue where there has been no volume for years and all of a sudden you start seeing volume coming in on a daily basis. Did they recently put out reports or corporate actions?
The ask stayed the same, a little over 4 million at .0002. Its been a very long time where the bid stayed at 2 to 4 million. Most recently there has been fluctuation to 3's with very little volume
If it is a "true" bid size, it could be that someone wants a chitload of it at .0001. But there is no way of knowing. Is the ask the same size or did they lower the size of that too?
Thank you, but what would be some of the reasons for that drastic bid change?
I would be more concerned with volume coming in all of a sudden than bid size changing. I have seen bid and ask sizes jump all over the place on stocks that have no activity. If you see some prints coming through all of a sudden, you might have a slight chance of activity and an uptick. Triple zero stocks with bids of .0001 that stop trading are tough. Only scenario worse that I can think of is one with a .0001 ask and no bid.
If a stock sits at .0001 for a couple of years with a bid size that ranged from 2 to 4 million at .0001 then one day shoots to 154 million on the bid and grows to 194 million. Is this a sign of trading to come? Or something else?
Exactly. Companies with no sustainable cash flow and no organic growth or no cash for a acquisition just pump their stock to no avail. The BOD & executives can't sell (much) so the penny stock day traders have the only benefit (or loss)
Oh you bet! There's usually a very good reason the stock is so cheap.
