The key word is "if". By the way, I was an exploration geologist that worked on the Arizona Strip looking for uranium. Really, really tough. We found a couple of not quite economic mineral deposits but those are not claims held by LBSR. If they can show proven reserves rather than hopes, they should do fairly well. As to the pps, that's up to the market. Anyone who predicts a price is someone I would avoid like an IRS audit. It's usually pumping, or wishful thinking. The price is what the market sets.

This brings back memories. First, yes I do own a relatively small position here. If you care to check you will see that I've not posted in a long time. Reason? Well first, as a rule, I no longer play with penny stocks. Second, these boards will clean your clock. Best to avoid them and stay with generic investing boards, if any.

Ah yes, memories. Posts about MM manipulation, shorting, pumping, dumping. Look around, that's the content of all penny boards. Oh, and I almost forgot the mandatory posts that something trading below .20 will go to a dollar. The magic dollar. Not to mention a few "brave" souls that will predict higher.

Have fun folks, and remember if you play in this sandbox, don't put in any more than you can afford to lose. Personally, I try to stay with big board stuff now and my target is + 20%, do the math. A steady 10-20% will make a very respectable income.

Adieu and good luck

CERS to release financials today.

Cerus to Release Fourth Quarter and Year End 2008 Financial Results on February 26, 2009
2/12/2009 4:01:00 PM


CONCORD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 12, 2009-- Cerus Corporation (NASDAQ:CERS) announced today that its fourth quarter and year end 2008 financial results will be released on Thursday, February 26, 2009, and that it will host a conference call and live webcast at 4:30 p.m. EDT that afternoon. Management will discuss the company's financial results and provide an overview of the company at that time.

I won't tell you to stop smoking at your age. But I can't resist saying that the high today is forecast for 80 F. I'm cooking an orange-rum glazed ham, turkey breast stuffed with toasted pecans and dried fruit with a Marsala reduction, carrots with lemon-mint gremolata and so on. All for my lady's kinfolk tomorrow out by the pool.

Fifteen years ago I moved to Florida from Wyoming and swore the only reasonable spot for ice is in a glass with a bit of good scotch on top.

Happy holidays to all.

JB,

A lot of the people on I-hub either started with or still play with the OTC and pinks. In those cases MM manipulation is definitely a possibility IMO although that's way overblown. Most of what folks were blaming on the MM's was/is the CEO's raping their own "company". On the big board stocks, nahh.

Oh! I wondered why we were up around 1.3%. Whew, good thing they emptied them thar guns.

I take it that you really have posted over 2,000 times in the last 45 days. Thank you for confirming - good by - fare well.

Arnold, is there something wrong with your profile? It shows over 2k posts in the last 45 days!! That's an average of over 50 per day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Surely there is an error.

I don't understand. From what I can see FRE is trading sideways in a channel of roughly 2 cents. How is that "all over the place"??

Volume is exceptionally low. It would seem that for today FRE is being ignored.

Perhaps they are trying to avoid the wash rule. Sell FNM at a loss and then re-invest in its twin FRE while still claiming a tax loss?

Don't feel bad. I zigged when I shoulda zagged a while ago and you are in better shape than me. LOL

IMO No. /e

Umm Fringe??

I did a board search and there were only three posts on the 'FARKING' thread. Are you sure you want us to post all future posts under that thread??

TIA

If you ever get serious about buying a sailboat, PM me. With 15+ years sailing and a captain's license behind me, I'm sure I can point you at something seaworthy and without breaking the bank. I'd guess somewhere between 50-100K could get you a real comfortable, seaworthy and seakindly boat for long distance cruising. For a coastal,i.e., week or two trips, cut those numbers in half.

OK, you can have the one with the screaming monkeys. Should remind you of acadamia!!

It is a Cabo Rico 38 so 38 feet on deck and about 42 feet overall. This time next year we hope to be out cruising but thanks to WiFi we'll still be able to trade the market.

From what I can see, volume all over was low today. Not too surprising on a Friday I suppose. What was a surprise is that the market ended up a bit. I can only hope it is a portent of things to come.

Have a nice weekend y'all. I'll be a sandin, and varnishing on the boat. Between naps that is
1 ;)

Now where have I heard that one before?? Was it last friday or the friday before? Dang memory!

I figured the perk went to any retired ol'fart.

Well DANG, I was having a nice nap when the rally alarm went off. Wake me when (if) we see a buck again. ;)

WHAT??? WHERE??? WHEN??? WHO??? Certainly not here!!

With a volume of only around 5 mil by noon - we're not going up IMO. Not today - I just hope we don't go down too far.

If prez elect Mr. Obama has his way with essentially a new CCC program. It may be worth looking at companies such as Caterpillar, Kubota, etc. I know a frequent bottleneck in road construction is lack of heavy equipment and operators. If Mr. Obama takes care of the operator end and construction companies start getting subsidy payments. I'm at least going to put a few on watch.

Is it my imagination or did the ask price jump at closing??

I'm showing BxA as .80 x .95

edit: On L2

Nasty looking sell-off in the Dow ***sigh***/e

Yawn! You mean old news out. Aharfo56 is right. You come across as a pink sheet pumper. A little decorum if you please.

What are you smoking? /e

You'll get no argument from me on that one JB.

I like to use charts for my trading but I got to tell you in this case I'm a bit leary. Too many folk with a finger in the pot and stirring away. The charts are supposed to represent market sentiment but here that sentiment is being played with big time IMO.

I never even mentioned the R/S! Will they? In a heartbeat if they must. They have approx 6 months to figure that out.

A lot can happen between now and next May, IMO./e

Thank you.

Now that's a silly thing to post without the news either attached or linked!!!

Someone, IMO does not understand the market and the role of legit shorting.

First Snappo, the CCI is not an indicator that I use. So the following is just based on a quick read. However, from what I can see the plus and minus 100 shouldn't change.

What does seem like a variable that can be changed is the duration of the cycle. The recommended number of time periods to use is apparently set at about 1/3 of the cycle. So if there is a 30 period cycle the time step for the CCI would be 10. I don't know what cycle I would apply to FRE.

As I said, I don't see anything about changing the "rule" of using a value of 100. There are admonitions to look for divergences with the price both bullish and bearish.

Sorry I couldn't be more help.

I'd tend to agree with that Snappo. Even the weekly chart is starting to show a bullish divergence between price and the MACD. I can live with that.

Another Nostradamus, with nothing to back it up. Oh well, its a rainy, boring Sunday evening. So many of these posts are predictable.

Yep, it looks like we may be ready for another pop before close, IMO.

A big difference IMO is that this is from Fannie NOT Freddy. At this moment they are both above $1 so the whole issue may be moot. Next week should give us a better insight.

While FRE probably has that option in its tool box, as long as the pps stays above $1 I doubt that they'd use it.

FRE - 60 min chart

Note the vertical blue lines based on the ADX. We might just get another pop before the 1:00 pm market close IMO.
