For a value investor the answer would be this -
$8++++ ?
Most energy-related stocks are going UP!
Haahaaahaaa! I battled the AXIS OF EVIL NASDAQ, ARCA, EDGX plus BATS on this name and won.....just like the US won against it's own Axis. APPLAUD ME
Ha ha! Did they have a change of heart? How thoughtful to hold the shareholders in such high regard. God bless Top Ships mgmt.
ROFLMAO Top Ships Announces Adoption of Shareholder Friendly Measures and Purchase of Shares by CEO of the Company
My stomach hurts:0(
History of TOPS. These guys have experience.
Would love some news on the share buy back today to drop during trading.
All of that sounds great. I just wish I could believe it. No SEC repercussions for these guys......
I still might have to suck up the courage and add to my 69 shares that I still have after the reverses........ I'm only down 98%......
I love watching shipping conferences on Youtube. At the end they ask what would you do with extra cash. Pay a dividend, buy back shares, pay down debt, or buy more ships. I think traders can learn alot from these guys.
Ocean shipping companies are the ultimate traders buying and selling ships. What companies have done in the last 7 years is try to survive a severe downturn in shipping. And some have tried to position themselves for growth and a cyclical upturn. TOPS may be one of them.
I know....... if I only believed they would do/stick to that. Seen too many shenanigans with this one.....
Are we truly believing they will let this run into the $3's and $4's? Won't the dilute the daylights out of it if it reaches the $2's somehow? Just based on the last, oh, lifetime of the stock?
lets see if gboy spikes this pos,,weve been waitin long enuff
CEO bought shares, buyback and no RS or dilution for 12 months...ez $$$ 4$ initial, swing to 7-8$
Don't know.....Go to Greece and tell them to stop. My .98s are looking good.
Market Specialists from ARCA, BATS, NSDQ and EDGX are CRIMINALS parading as market makers. The bid question is, how do we send them to the jail they belong!
Wall Street jungle part two...you sound like Richard ney. Criminals
A book or block ! Lol
I remember the days of DRYS running to $100 plus...insanity..
Will it happen again with Tops /Ship ? I hate both companies with a passion. But with the O/S so low in both shippers..
Ya never know. And the supposed no more offerings or splits..
What else could happen ? Small position in Tops under buck.
Yes. Unbelievable what happens in this business. It is mind-blowing....so much that people don't see. I have a huge book coming out soon
Trading normal at least for once..
Market Makers: I must confess that I didn't know much about these guys when our beef started. It's been quite a journey!!! Now, I know!
So the CRIMINALS making market here seatnon the stock at $1.02 all day waiting for me to sell. Instead, I load. Then after hours they try to cover some. Fraudulent CRIMINALS parading as market Specialists.
I am suing for peace again...no more Red or Blue States. MMs....Citadel, let's make that happen. At the end of the day, it's all about making money. Cheers!
$40k invested 5 years ago = $4.92. Enuf Said
Do these fools do anything else except collectively strategizing how to.make Keekee lose a thousand or two??? You get amused and annoyed the same time, knowing that these fools get paid to be violating the laws and rules of the industry feeding them. You can only hope someday a new crop of folks will come and clean up the retards....either by exposing them or jailing them.
Because these exchanges make tons of money from these traders and criminal specialists, they just turn a blind eye. Same happened in the case of the lone spoofer, Navinder Singh Sarao. There was a five-year delay in arresting the criminal, accused of exacerbating the 2010 Flash Crash—one of the most turbulent periods in the history of financial markets. That delay placed the self-regulatory bodies such as the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and Chicago Mercantile Exchange & Chicago Board of Trade under scrutiny. "The CME was described as being in a "massively conflicted" position as they make huge profits from the HFT and algorithmic trading."
Although Congress outlawed the practice in 2010, what we're are seeing in trades on TOPS, etc is exactly spoof trades being perpetuated these racket of market specialists representing all the major exchanges. Unfortunately, the law is slow, only 20 traders have been charged so far, but the DOJ is intensifying that effort. Most reasonably, investors don't complain because they saw what appeared to be normal. But, at the heart of these crimes is the erosion of integrity in the market system!
See the kinds of criminal enterprises NASDAQ uses these days as Market Makers. Google: Citadel Securities, Quantlab Loom Over Trial Probing Whether Human Traders Tricked Machines:
"CHICAGO—Citadel Securities’ headquarters stands across the street from this city’s federal courthouse. The high-speed trading powerhouse had an even closer view when one of its traders began testifying Friday in a criminal trial over market manipulation known as spoofing.
Citadel Securities and Quantlab Financial LLC, another electronic trading firm that uses computer models to automate buying and selling, have loomed over this week’s trial. The firms were allegedly victimized by the spoofing of two former Deutsche Bank precious-metals traders, who are fighting fraud charges against them.
Attorneys for the two former traders, James Vorley and Cedric Chanu, deny the charges and have attacked a basis for the case—that the men defrauded “supercomputers” by flooding the market with phony orders that gave a misleading picture of supply and demand, also known as spoofing. The orders were in fact genuine because any participant, defense attorneys countered, could trade with them before they were canceled.
Some critics of the Justice Department’s spoofing crackdown say prosecutors have turned routine behavior into a crime on a par with insider trading, while the alleged victims are often computerized trading firms that update or cancel orders in milliseconds. Many investors say the enforcement is justified because rampant spoofing undermines the integrity of prices.
Since Congress outlawed the practice in 2010, the Justice Department has charged 20 traders with spoofing-related crimes and eight have pleaded guilty."
Why are we posting these information: Because we have 111 followers here, and a good number of them are these exchange specialists criminalizing the industry. We want to ensure that knowledge of the criminal nature of their actions is imputed on them!!!
