Sobek's Stock Forum

[Sobek]

$OMGT hit $29.99 today, still plenty of upside imo...

$GRCV - Pre news accumulation is starting - market taking notice...

$ALYE - Bids holding like a champ at .35 and .30 - ask a little thick - anticipation of market awareness from the company should hold in this range - current ticker with an estimated $2 book value

$PSMH - Awesome consolidation in the .025 - .035 range today - getting ready to move up - higher support levels coming soon imo...

Here's a new sleeper for anyone following - $CPVNF - They just caught up their filings not too long ago, right after the bottom fell through.... it trades like most of the cRaZy "F" tickers trading on the OTC fluctuating between 100's of %.... imo it belongs in the .035-.065 range...

GLTA

[Sobek]

Good stuff... I just updated the Ibox with more due diligence on a few current picks...

[Sobek]

OMGT - Daily high of $19, still way more to come imo...

ALYE - Bottom looks bought up - 10q reflecting a solid $2 book value - I'm watching for the $1 break next week. Once the secret is out, bottom pps opportunities will be gone imo... CEO elected last March was co-head of the Energy Group at RBC for ten years... simple math here where ALYE is headed imo. He straightened the books out, now it's time to give back value to common shareholders imo... check out RBC if you're not familiar to see what the CEO brought to the table last March... impressive...
https://www.rbccm.com/en/about-us/history.page

PSMH - Bids moved to .03 today w/ a HOD at .049 - check 'em if you haven't, I think this one will surprise many... mid .20 target looks fair once filings start to hit... I suggest to reach out to their IR dept. she's always gotten back to me... http://www.psmortgage.com/

GRCV - Been holding - light float of approx. 250mm - pps .0008 - recently went current and is showing positive equity in the last 10q... my 20 years experience playing the pinks tells me to hang onto this one and add while I can... imo break to .005 or more very possible once updates start coming out...

[Sobek]

Rockin day today with OMGT up another 40% and ALYE up a whopping 83% after 1,100% gain the other day

OMGT Blockchain with new very successful CEO and only 368k shares floating

ALYE New CEO since March who's brought a $2 book value to the company over the last 7 months

Don't forget about PSMH either... awesome company in the process of catching up filings.... they finally had some very nice consolidation today in the .025-.03 range!!

Think this is my last post of the day...

Hasta mañana!!!!

[Sobek]

Bids moving way up on OMGT and holding.... $6's fall and it should be on... ALYE bids still at .15 but ask is inching up... at .35 now... ALYE reflecting a $2 book value...

[Sobek]

Yeah, lol, I remember! My friend said I'll fall in love with NM and want to stay.... we'll see! He's in Las Cruces.

[WarpedMatrix77]

Hey Fyrebal.... hope everything is good... happy holiday's!

[Sobek]

Nice call... CHRO up 21%... ALYE, up 1,100% today, 75 year old founder/ceo retired/stepped down...

Appointed new CEO back in March, looks like they successfully finished restructuring debt since,

The new ceo, Shauvik Kundagrami, was a big shot for U.S. Energy Group for RBC Capital Markets for ten years...

Check the last 10q, showing a $2 book value... http://www.otcmarkets.com/edgar/GetFilingHtml?FilingID=12379680

Also OMGT... 368k share float, blockchain, new ceo, https://www.linkedin.com/in/patrickmoynihan1

Both way up but could see more imo...

Happy Holiday's bro!

[bot2soon]

TKCI looks to be just a shady real estate company muddling around the market.. So Fyre must be on carribean vacation spending her NVDA profits..good for her! So I am announcing another position in CHRON at .097 cents...a real penny stock! I hit the bulls eye when I bought it at .19 and sold on the last good news spik-a-thon at .37 Hoping to do the same under a penny. GOOS hit it out of the park last earnings..34% increase in yoy revenue..all other metrics are fantastic..so got back in at 23.75 and now over 26 with targets way over 30. their direct amazon style delivery working very well. Have a blessed Thanksgiving with your close ones...

[Sobek]

I noticed some play on GGWY and PSMH towards the end of last week... both light floaters with real revenue generating companies... both recently hit new lows and if they ever decide to get their filings up to date, both could see upwards of a few hundred percent gains imo. I contacted both companies and both say the same, they're aware of the situation and working on it but no time frame... take into consideration they're aware of their filing status and have shareholders... could be a nice payday... lotto's with lots of potential imo... just look at the charts...

BZIC, TKCI, and EQST all have nice pending catalysts and low floats but just aren't delivering to the market what's anticipated...

ICLD I'm keeping on close watch... they're still churning shares at 52 wk lo's while volume is increasing... once conversions are done and if the updates are good... they could get a little explosive imo

Then there's SNDY, SYNG, HVCW, and TRII I'm watching... activity in all of them, light floaters, and any kind of news release could send them flying...

[Sobek]

Nice call Fyre! NVDA up $20 since your post on the 6th!

[Sobek]

Congrats on the record gain!! WHOO WHOO!!! Always good to clear the head after a good run... even the OTC market is better than usual this time of year... gearing up for a heck of a winter season I bet...


Thanks and yes, it did put a grin on my face... it's what this market is all about... the big wins....

Big Retail is stalking you lol!

[Sobek]

With Chron, they just up listed to the OTCQB tier and started to file w/ the SEC. We can see an increase of around 50% in the qtr over qtr operation expenses... apparently the price to pay to go SEC filer.

Not clear on why they went SEC filer... their revenues... well there isn't any... bumping up your cost to file like that with no revenues would lean more towards a red flag than a green imo simply because 'dressing up' a ticker is nothing new in the pink sheet market...

I haven't looked to see if any converting market markers are on it... but hovering around a 52wk lo.... showing .02 as very weak resistance and could quickly turn to a solid support...

I think when I went through them really good last time, it looked like they're using the ticker as a debt vehicle... maybe going to take the company private and dump the bills on the ticker...

IDK but it's definitely looking good for some scalping... but wouldn't hold until they show the market some money...

[bot2soon]

I'm sure there's winners in there if you've done your DD on them..but I'm scaling out of the market right now at over 2 yr high and taking a break. I still have FB which has been my workhorse..but content to wait for pull back which who knows when that will be...market is insanely hitting new high after new high..Buffetts be fearful at the highs when everyone else is giddy is kicking in.

Wheres Fyre?? CHRON hitting new lows..must have been the stinky financing deal they just got...high borrowing rates..their ZEN and zero cost installs dont seem to be doing the job.

retail sparks to life right after I dump it...figures..

Nice day trade on the 4 figure win....bet that put a grin on your face..

[Sobek]

Here's a few off my page one list.... I've mentioned a couple before, there's a few new ones... but all based on current activity such as signs of life... promising catalysts.... nice PR campaigns, or just behind on filings and fell into under valued territory... look close... quite possibly a few winners in here.... PSMH, GGWY, BZIC, TKCI, SNMN, ITKH, ICLD, ABVG, EQST, SYNG, FRFS, SNDY, HVCW...

[Sobek]

There was a nice stack of shares on TKCI I think at .14.... just as aggravated as the next guy w/ that one but who knows, the right news could send it flying...

Netflix... love that stock, to today's date I still don't get it, like 90% of their line up is garbage in my opinion lol! But I pay the $12 bucks a month for the stuff that's good.... me and millions of other people! I just watched the first season of Mindhunter.... awesome show.

Today I finally had a chance to sit down and just trade the whole day off my radars... by 10AM I narrowed it down to 3 tickers , ATPT, GNLKQ, and FRFS.... scalped a few C-notes from ATPT but it just lost its rhythm and couldn't keep going... GNLKQ had some nice early action but I jumped in too late and took a small hit... but friggin FRFS... WHOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! I stared at it from like .0019 to .0028 then just dove in, pulled in a high 4 digit gain on that monster.... what's crazy is it looks like it could keep going.... but I'm out, didn't even look at the DD on it until after hours.... crazy stuff on the board over there.... but man, it just had the rhythm to it, like every trader on the same page... totally awesome day there...

[bot2soon]

TKCI up another 40% after the 100% move..but has that nasty .08 cent bid sitting there...but this thing went from .04 to .14 in two sessions...of course no news..no Billie..no news on growing the vile weed on the res. but someone is accumulating who may know something..Pot on Indian Reservations seems like a no brainer..but maybe the casinos are just too easy...

scalped netflix earnings yesterday buying during the session when it was down a buck and sold in the aftermarket minutes after releasing earnings for a $9 swing...thats one for our team!

got right out of Macys for a small loss...not feeling it at all sold GOOS too for now but 10% up on that one.. natural gas is my play rght now with UGAZ on deck...

[Sobek]

I always have a bunch of stuff on watch on a variety of different lists.... I stopped posting my day trades... I lose time plus sometimes networking buddies get hung because they aren't trading but holding... I have a few I'm long on but always try to flip out to lower my avg pps as I'm accumulating.... plus almost always have a bid and sell in on what I go long on... but I make decent bank on day trading the OTC.... the long stuff is my vice and gambling habit... some has rhyme and reason... others are just a way out on the limb lotto plays.... sometimes I get lucky.... other times I eat it!

[bot2soon]

I figured you were looking at more than one penny...you sure dig deep into what transparency they offer...still a lot of behind the curtain in all of them..and all this time I have yet to see one break out big time...save for the penny pot stocks that were 3 zeros and the early shareholders made 1000-5000% . hey Fyre ladie...CHRON sitting on 18 again where I bought it last time and sold 37.".zeros in correct places."what was the big thing they were suppose to announce over the summer? With Trump pulling back all Obama green energy policy..green energy will get hurt..

COSTco hurt me last week down 10% even though earnings yoy up 10% and SSS up 6%.. they took them out to the woodshed on slimmer margins..a little Amazon ripple effect..but think their unique position in the space will win over time.. bought it at 154 went to 169..now back at starting block.. up 3 in last couple sessions though..

GOOS...god I love and hate retail... they are super concentrating on direct marketing..still have the illumanati effect..super high end...going to 30 in 6 months.

market cant figure out what to do today..hovering flat line in the first hour...leaders have been selling off a little every morning..but every pullback has been followed by new highs...not even gonna say the"P" word..

[Sobek]

Hey bot! Nice to see ya here!.... Dude, that fire in CA is crazy, people dying and a few dozen unaccounted for... I'll take the hurricanes over fires any day of the week, these poor souls have nothing left to go back to. Definitely respect you for what you do... how's the fires out there in the corner?

Awesome on the two year hi on the portfolio, I been trading here and there... not too much because summer was kind and winter is close.... otc really picks up steam after Thanksgiving and I don't ant to be hung on too much....

TKCI... yeah lol, loved the volume... still can't verify that Chief Billie is the real deal or BS though.

BDIC, I don't even want to discuss them... sorry bro but I'm not liking where I speculate where they're going.... they need a straight up honest PR and to clear the air on a few red flags flopping in the wind.... and until then or there's a complete management turnover.... they're no doubt on a weak hold imo.

That's cool you do that for your daughter. Mine comes home this holiday after being gone for almost 2 years... can't wait and going to be pretty emotional. She's been doing mission work in Canada.

As far as what I'm in there's a few.

My current most interesting is PSMH. A middleman mortgage brokerage company with about 22m shares outstanding. All their different state licenses are current and in good standing. Only one complaint I could find since like the late 1990's. I spoke with IR, couldn't get the float count but they are definitely aware of being late on filings and plan on catching up soon... just didn't give me a time frame. But the company looks like they've grown since last financials and from what I'm seeing, real estate is picking up little by little. They just hired a new CEO who rolled with some big companies, she's aware of shareholders concerns, I sent her an email on LinkedIn. But the lotto draw here is the pps is at record lows and if they can get filings up to date soon, we should see a pps spike and, if the numbers show continued growth and expansion... I don't see why she can't trade above .20 again like she used to.

Next is BZIC, they just released some nice VR news... CEO says more is coming but couldn't get a response on when they plan on catching up filings. They're more risky because they're more than a year late filing but catalysts looks decent.... watching to see where it goes....

Then there's GGWY. I bought a few on a spurt when they released news. It's another late filer who looks like they may go current soon. I haven't reached out to management yet, waiting to see if the pps can get support back up but it's trading at record lows also.

My triple zero play is TRII. Their s/s is way to small to be down that low... their state license is current, they just updated their OTC Website info page, and they just hit record lows also... only thing missing is a company PR or a filing.... could see high teens to low .002's easy...

Other than that I have a few others I'm just I'm holding and a few light floaters I'm bidding on not doing nothing yet....

[bot2soon]

TKCI (Turnkey Capital) spiked 100% back to .09 and I managed to sell all on a day with volume...whew! got rid of another one..with a small gain..

[bot2soon]

Hey how's the Forum doing? Lots of insightful analysis and info sharing? Looks like you two about the only ones here...with a few others stopping by..like me. Cashed up the ole bank account the last couple months working on the wildfires and now looking for a few positions that still have runway... Account is at 104 week high so content to bide my time. For some reason Turnkey is marching back towards a dime on no news...light volume but bid has moved up. BDIC ...yes still in it...someday soon somebody will see that when CA goes all first offender in 2019 it will be a windfall... FYre...how about that NVDA? What penny you chasing now Sobie...? Took a position in Redfin ...new real estate kid on the block but use their website more than others..think it has room. Bought some Macy's at two year low...20.. Looking for 25 on Santa Rally.. All proceeds go to shopping spree for my daughter during holidays...market feels tippy though...but all long right now..

[Sobek]

It's all good and I get it... if you saw how volatile my penny portfolio is your head would spin right off your shoulders lol!

[Fyreball27]

Thx Sobek--while I am always on the lookout, I think I'm going to stay out of the penny plays for now, have lost too much $ on them, so I obviously don't know what I'm doing!! ;) All in on Nividia and hoping it won't let me down.

[Sobek]

PSMH - Here's one of their websites, http://www.psmortgage.com/

Here's their NMLS number, 16981, paste it in the NMLS website, there you can access a lot of info

http://www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org/Home.aspx/MainSearch

[Fyreball27]

Thx Sobek--will check it out!!!

[Sobek]

Check out Prime Source Mortgage: $PSMH, I talked to IR, she said getting filings up to date is in the works. I tried getting more out of her but she couldn't tell, very professional though. But the company has no doubt expanded. 8 digit revenues reported for nine months ending March of 2016, Friday's MC was only $1.7mm, under valued imo. They just hired in new upper management, volume kicked in on the news. IR said the float is around 20mm and s/s hardly changed over last three years.... it was trading right around .04 until last summer, before that it traded very healthy in the mid .20's to high .40's.... going current could at least get it back to a solid .10 - .20 me thinks...

Not a problem chica!

[Fyreball27]

Thanks Sobek---appreciate it!

[Fyreball27]

Yes, I am still here. Have not heard--but notice that we have 0 volume on BDIC. What'd they say?

[Sobek]

You still around? Got my reply from FINRA... no need to elaborate if you got yours also, just curious if they got back to you.

[Sobek]

Yeah, that is what they said to watch for. You see the 8-K on ALRT this a.m? Ouch.

[NORTH LAND]

Filings will come, and marks the start .20+

[Sobek]

Tp is a big commodity in any event that closes stores. I'd imagine you'd need a way to get the movements out of the house if the water lines froze. Here we keep the tub full and now I have buckets of water lined up in my garage, all for flushing.

Just got back from reloading supplies, stores already getting a little hectic. Just read Jose and Lee aren't a threat to FL. Lee is supposed to dissipate and Jose supposed to hit northern U.S. You might even get wind gusts from him in VA.

I need to pay attention to your big board picks, NVIDIA is kicking ass. As far as OMVS and Chron... you ain't banking if your not selling. And that goes for everything from blue chips all the way down to the filth that lines the gutters of the pink sheet market. Just remember that the OTC moves a fuck load faster than the big boards.

Blow & Drive are a bunch of morons. I have small sell orders all over L2 and I'm starting to place bid orders way, way below current bid. Dumping would be foolish in my opinion. There's no bid support. It would hit .01 on one 200k share sell at market. I honestly believe that's why insiders aren't selling. No one wants the shares and if it falls below a nickel, then whale pink sheet players would try and accumulate as the pps slowly fizzled. The co. would make an incredible sub penny play. But lets hope it doesn't happen, at least until some of us can get out from under our positions. If they release news or something good, we can talk it up. But if they are forced to redo their last financial report, could see some huge panic selling...

[Fyreball27]

Wow--thanks for sharing. That bit about the supermarkets IS annoying and surprising, but you are right (although I suspect that now that they have been through something like this, they may be a little better prepared next time (one can only hope!) Surprisingly that has happened here in No. VA too. EVERY time we get a snow storm, or the possibility of one, the run on the grocery stores is ridiculous. We've never had a situation where the storm has lasted more than two days or so, and yet you go to the grocery store and forget getting anything like milk, bread or toilet paper. I get the stores have to do that just in time inventory (since milk and bread are perishables) but TP too? It always makes me wonder WHY so many people are running out of TP in a storm! Are we all so scared sh*tless that we go more often!? haha--I don't get it. I just saw there are three more storms churning in the Atlantic with one (Maria?) set to become a hurricane on Sunday with potentially the same path as Irma. [HOPE NOT]--keeping an eye on Jose too as that one looks like it might stay out to see, but we might get hit with some of the bands...am figuring that I better stockpile some stuff in prep for a bitter winter. We have been REALLY fortunate the last 8 years at least, winters have been incredibly mild. Seeing how weather has decided to be INSANE this year (and it got cooler in August, although we're right back up in the 90s now), our luck is bound to run out.

I've all but given up on BDIC, but can't seem to get my shares sold without agreeing to just give them away. Never good to have everything in one basket I know, but am SO tempted to sell EVERYTHING I own and just buy buy buy more NVIDIA stock. They went screaming up this past week and just got price upgrade to $250. Even though the stock is trading at $180, that will look cheap when it goes up by $70! Don't really know how I feel (personally) about AI technology, but its coming no matter what. And here I thought buying NVIDIA at $45 a share was a ton of money. Shows what I know--but man did I ever get lucky. OMVS and Chron on the other hand...........ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Trying to stay patient but I should have listened to your concerns!!! Enjoy your Sunday!

[Sobek]

I have a new sleeper low float lotto play under a penny. Their last known business was the marijuana sector. Anyone interested let me know and I'll send it to you in a private message.

[Sobek]

QFOR should still be on a lot of "Q" players watch lists. Bids continue to rise and bid ask gap is increasing with the asking pps moving up. Watch for company updates and pps spikes while ppl are accumulating.

[Sobek]

We were hit directly by Charley back in 2004. Ripped like 60% of the roof right off our house with tornados touching down on all sides of us, without electricity if I remember correctly for weeks maybe longer. It was rough because it devastated basically everything in it's path because of poor construction. Then Ivan and Francis still impacted pretty hard because we were already flooded and without power and they delayed emergency efforts. Even Katrina had an impact because most of the west coast was still being rebuilt and the wind gusts tore a lot of the tarps down causing even more water damage and forcing the electric companies to turn off power for a spell.

I remember FMB when Charlie hit. Leveled almost everything. I think because of the new construction codes, when Irma hit the damage was minimal. Our house is like a fortress, new construction, impact windows... every hurricane code up to par but we were still on the edge of our seats. And sure enough the last minute she shifted to hit the west coast and even with the house being up to code, the surge possibilities is what made us have to leave to Melbourne to stay with family, my ex brother in law.

We have to give the state of FL a ton of credit for being prepared. Even though it was hectic, it wasn't chaotic. All local businesses were prepared, local gas stations had plenty of gas coming in up until the storm was a few hours out, and even though congested, traffic was well directed with well organized evacuation efforts.

In the aftermath, clean up efforts have been astonishing compared to Charley but, I have to say I'm disappointed with the local grocery stores, mainly Publix and Walmart. All their locations throughout impacted areas were closed for several days after. When Charley hit I was a manager for Publix. We were called back to work as soon as the winds dropped far enough to allow trucks back on the roads with our jobs being threatened if we didn't show up. I remember trucks getting delayed because of the roads being blocked but, almost all of them made it and there was zero injuries.

But now I guess with millenniums running these places, there's too many soft hands and people working at these places that don't know how checks work or how to do cash with a calculator let alone operate the location off a generator or no power at all. I didn't see it in the news but many Walmart and Publix locations were broken into and looted bad, it's because there was nobody there after the storm running the places and w/o electricity, there were no alarms to trip. That just made getting supplies a little rougher, caused more panic buying, while forcing them to stay closed even longer. Even gas stations were very slow to get up and running again.

Our biggest problem now is electricity. The heat and dry air is kicking in and many shelters are full. Tons of people just walking around stores and businesses with power to stay cool. Even the local internet providers had their services back up in decent time. But we have schools canceling classes for weeks because of no electricity in so many houses. That means there's no way for the kids to access the internet to do homework. Very poor planning on the school boards behalf but I strongly believe that there's a ton of opportunity for electric companies to implement hurricane proof connections, especially in the day and age we live in. They would just shut it down during emergencies then turn it on as areas are inspected and cleared. A good new company to invest in if you see them start to advertise hurricane proof electric connection capabilities.

It does suck for anyone who is affected badly by these storms. In Bonita Springs and a few other places, the flooding was terrible. Lets just hope these cities can fix the drainage and storm surge issues during the rebuild process.

Your nephew's wife is a smart lady. I'm familiar with FMB and anyone who stayed had a good chance of getting injured or worse. But evacuating is touchy. Either you leave a week ahead of time or wait until the last minute when you know what side of FL the storm will hit.

On a different note, interesting your are in crises management. Bot from the other board is in fire fighting and I'm from a third generation law enforcement family and we were all on the B&D board. Just shows how stupid the management is running that company. I had over 20 retired cops interested in BDIC once they stabilized but now they're gone. I could only imagine how many people in professions like you guys and my family were waiting to invest in them. Really pisses me off they are a bunch of stooges running the thing.

[Fyreball27]

Yes. On the FLIP side, this was an incredibly huge and powerful storm, and had it come ashore and maintained its intensity it would have been far worse.

I'm in the crisis and emergency management business and its always a tough call. When people are told to evacuate many won't because they've experienced storms before and while bad, they weren't THAT bad, but winds in excess of 160 mph are incredibly deadly, more SO is the storm surge and flooding (hello Hurricane Harvey, Katrina and Sandy).

My nephew runs a family owned trailer park on Fort Myers Beach and his wife made the decision (with him kicking and screaming) that they would evacuate with their 3 children (two on the lower end of the autism scale) along with their dog. They ended up in Atlanta and she and the kids are now here in VA with her sister. While my nephew is saying that FMB did not appear to get walloped as badly as they might have, the power is likely to be out for the next two weeks and a water boil is in effect. That might be too much on 3 little kids.

I'm just thankful it was far worse on all of you. My heart is broken for the people in the Caribbean whose homes and livelihoods have been 100% decimated. :(

Thanks Fyreball, we got lucky, a little further south on the west coast no so much but we're pulling through as a sate at an impressive rate. But yes, the news channels really did a bang up job of scaring the shit out of everyone.

Yes it is, but until IDVC can get a couple financial filings out, just keeping it on watch.
