Sorry you fell for it.

I knew it was a scam from the moment I met him years ago. Check my post history here.

Is this thing still going on?

So Val get anything done beyond sucking more and more money out of investors? lol.

Love the Tesla cars.... but just can't invest in it.

Absolutely. I do wonder how much of this is also due to the 50/200 crossover of Dow yesterday.

I am happy with my shorts. =)

Yes... but there are also great videos on Bloomberg where they discuss how big of an issue it really is, including a video from yesterday, where they discuss China's "one and done" devalue and it was not... and voila, next day second deval.

WEll,these would of been pretty. You can still get some low premium, in the money SPXS options. September is also pretty good. $17 and $18 strike.

Quick heads up. Cheap premiums for SPXS, 3x SPX Bear.

Currently at $18.20, August $17 strike are going for 1.00/1.25, so 5 cents time premium.

looks interesting, but why try to catch a falling knife?

Looking at all, yes, a bit oversold, but there has just been relentless selling pressures, with seemingly no signs of letting up.

Honestly, I think 95% of the people who are in penny stocks are scumbags who are out to milk people out of money.

I have personally met Val at the "store", I visited the corporate office at the "UPS" mailbox. Val is either a really shitty CEO who is wasting peoples money, or a scammer who knows exactly what he is doing.

In either case, he is a great salesman.

My very first stock, much like right here, I was conned into the dream. Wasted about 20k of family money. Never again. I hope others don't make the same mistake.

Right now I am in the financial services industry, have my own firm, and focus on due diligence on alternative investments. This... just screams pipe dream.

So if it can do anything, and you don't care what anyone says... aint it gambling?

notice I did not say every stategist... in fact, in the short term, most of the fundamentals persons are wrong, just like many oil and gas execs I know myself. Where they are helpful is in the long term.

In the short term, while yes, no one knows 100%, there are signs as to what is going on, and many investments follow their past trading pretty well.

But just because something is cheap or oversold, does not mean it can't go even lower. Heck, I have plenty of BBRY shares to prove it.

Worked out pretty well. =)

Had a plan for 4 trades, but just did not feel good in morning to wake up. All 4 were great winners.

TLT, LQD and SPXS Calls, and puts on TSLA, all 4 would of work out quite well.

Its ok, at least I did not lose money on bad trades.

Still have my in the money SLV and RSX puts.

I hope it works out.

I am a long BBRY holder. Love my new BlackBerrys, and great value... way below breakup value.

I will go the opposite. Down, 100.

Who is Ellie?

Honestly, I think we will see $40 before $50. Pretty much every stockcharts featured strategist believes the same. Oil broke key supports.

$45 support? More like resistance. :)

As bad as TSLA is... can't believe I missed SUNE.

My god, from 33 to 17 in a few days. yikes.

Just wait until they issue a lot more shares and dilute everyone... YET AGAIN.

Good article about TSLA.

If capital raise is coming... TIMBER....

Looking at SPXS Aug $17 or $18 calls.

$17 are at .75/.85, so a very low premium over the $17.67 value.
$18 at .30/.45, or maybe lottery the 19 at .10/.20.

We can likely see a $3 pop in the etf with a few down days for the SPX which seems to be loosing steam and both the KST and Coppock having bearish crossovers.



What do you think?

excuse me, wp?

Weekly Puts?

True, the S&P is... if we are looking at a few stocks.

On an equal weight basis, things are quite different, momentum is falling apart.

Perhaps a few weeks/months early? Maybe, probably, but it is definitely not peaches and cream.

Especially if we are looking at technology, industrials, energy. More than half of the S&P sectors are starting to fall apart.

The fact that 3 big names got pummeled today, on top of the disappointment from LinkedIn, Disney, Apple.... starting to crumble.

Oil was hit in particular after Gas inventory numbers were higher than expected. =)

Listen to the call. The issue is their business is dying a slow death and the new products are failing.


You can beat lowered expectations with financial engineering. Sales numbers on the other hand don't lie.

And pummeled 25%

Rally seems stretched but may have it for the quick pop.

How are the premiums? What strike are you thinking of?

Anyone trading DIS or ETSY? Both getting hammered.

Good for short term bounce, but the overall trend seems broken.

Volume was massive. We can easily see selling follow though today.

Just a hello,

Hey guys, Just wanted to say hello again. Spent a lot of time here years ago when this was getting started. Unfortunately was not able to spend that much time over the past few years with my business.

I think we are hitting that critical 2008-2009 timeframe again with the opportunity to make money on the short side so wanted to say hello.

Currently sitting on a few good trades,

Short RSX via Puts, Aug $21, sitting on a double.
Short SLV via Puts, Aug $16.50, sitting on about 200% gain.

Looking at long TLT, UUP, and NXRT.
So.... Hello again.

So a ceo that has privately given you information... without public disclosure is.... honest?

He and this company are a joke. I am sorry that you fell prey for this pump and dump and lost money.

Your money was used to finance Vals lifestyle. The reason he is communicating with you is because you have money that he needs.

I would love it if he wanted to meet me and discuss why it is or is not a pump and dump.

John, I am sure in some part that has to do with it... but in particular, I am looking from 12pm on, when volume really started to pick up and push it up.

It is good sign though for BBRY as a whole and will have to write about in next SeekingAlpha article.

http://seekingalpha.com/author/maks-financial-services/articles

Very nice move today. Don't know if short covering or accumulation. If so... what for?

I am sure we will find out soon. Sizable volume too.

I was away for a few months... Seems like there was yet another dilutive reverse split and dumping more shares on market?

Can't believe he still lists the palm coast address on the website... After all... The corporate offices are a ups mailbox. Lol.

Covered Call for BBRY.

Blackberry has been pretty good here. Right now see a really nice short term play.

Buy BBRY @ $10.64.
Sell Dec 2014 BBRY $11.50 calls for $.32 or so.

You have $1.18 upside in less than 3 weeks if BBRY closes above $11.50, and if not, a really nice premium.

Same here. Ever since getting my Passport, and just being in love with it every day, and it HAS replaced my Android Note 2... bought Blackberries for my entire office. Just far more secure and productive.

We did talk about potential Lenovo rumors and you completely said no... but now that it has run up and put shorts in the red.... you are saying it was about it.

How about the fact that both on technicals, AND fundamentals you seem to be wrong?

good video clay.

good video clay.

I really do think some poor sucker got taken for big money, if you look at the trade chart, was just 3 times during day. Wow.

Btw if you google the Mexican company, looks like a shell company that does nothing really. No news about it or anything.
