I've got a question. I see that this is trading under the WAMUQ symbol. Now, my question is, what the heck is being traded under the WAHCU symbol? It's showing that the WAHCU symbol is the one being used for WaMu. It opened today at .01 and rose to $1.01 for a high. I started noticing it when it was at .11 cents bid X .25 ask. It then jumped to .50 cents on the ask while the bid slow climbed up to it's current level of .51. I mean slow climbed by going to .11 then .13 then .15 then .20 then .23 and so on and so on. I tried to get into it all day long by going a little over the bid with no luck. I'm suspecting that if I had gone to .25 when it was at .11 it might have filled.
As I said above, 1. Does anyone know what the two WaMu's are for? and 2. Why would it go from a penny to where people were paying a dollar adn a penny to buy it? Anyone having a good answer, please reply.
Wonder who wants to gap this? Looking to gap it between .0020 and .0024 perhaps? Someones gearing up for a nice move imo as early as by eod today. We will probably see another large buy at the close again. Not 100% sure on that but it's sure starting to look like it.
Good day all. If anyones bid sitting, be careful. Does anyone have any extra powder to throw at this? We should see some very nice movements on as little as 50,000-100,000 share purchases. It won't take much to see this get into the .0026 position again. So if ya have a little extra powder, throw some on this. Thank you in advance.
Good night all and god bless, eom
"I seeeeeee" said the blind man to the deaf man who then said "I hear ya".
If you go a few weeks to a few months long on this, you might be in store for a bigggg return. No promises though. And with how this company is playing games lately, the longerrrrrr might be the key, LOL.
StockRookie, if you bought anywhere in the .0020's before it took off and didn't sell when it was around that .0080 mark for a 2 1/2x-4x bagger, that would definately have been a rookie mistake to hold. Sell when you have a nice profit and then buy in later if it's still running. Yes you'll have less shares but you will also have secured a profit which is the name of the game.
There's an old saying. Bears eat, Bulls eat, and pigs get slaughtered. Give it some thought.
Had to get my daughter from school. Your right super, my apologize. It's been my experience that when there is a short available on these pennies, it usually gets shorted to the fullest extent. Not always of course, but usually. On the large eod purchases. There's one at nearly 6 mil shares and I believe there might be one more at around that amount. Not sure on that though. Look for tomorrow for this to run in the a.m. right off the top. That almost 6 mil shares will ensure we open up tomorrow unless someone puts in a massive sell. My buzz is that there will be another massive buy in the a.m.. Someone knows something big here and they are having trouble keeping a lid on it. As I said before, that's just the word in my circle of people. And uhhh, I'd be putting in my buys first thing in the a.m. at .0024 or .0025. This is all in my opinion so do with it as you will.
Xilo
Hey all, I've gotta run. Somethings up here imo. Something tells me (okay, maybe it was a someone) that there's gonna be a rather large stock purchase late today on this and tomorrow up through .0025. This is just what's been flying around my circle sooooooo. Usually my circle people are pretty good with their info. It might be worth buying in now before the close before they do imo if they are right cuz the price to get in won't stay at what it's at. It's word of mouth so do with it what you will.
In reply to your questions and whether ASII actually did buy a percent of ALCO, I might be able to help there. About 3 months ago, I was curious and called them. I talked to the company CEO at that time. Forgive me, I don't remember his name. He said at that time that ASII did in fact buy a percent of shares in ALCO. Now, does that mean that the lame duck CEO is still involved in this, heck if I know. I know he's some lawyer as I've talked to him months ago also when I was doing all this checking on whether this agreement was legit. He may have sold his position in the company and not reported it, I don't know. I know it would be illegal if he did since it was done in the normal process of business under the ASII flag.
Anyway, that's all I got. I don't check here very often as wasting any more then a few minutes a month on this board, in my opinion, is a serious waste of time.
Xilo
I was doing some checking to see if there is a short on HKBV. The answer is yes there is. Here's what it gave back and I gotta thank those naked shorters out there for messing up another one of my plays. I hope the SEC slams hard on these naked shorters since we here can't short sub pennies but constantly get screwed when people in other countries do it.

Main problem mil is that they keep dumping shares on the news. Had a nice opening run this a.m. and then they unloaded again. We were expecting around 500 stores so yeah, the 50 stores is a bit of a let down. The main fear now is that this might be another stinkie pinkie move. Besides that, there's not much holding it back.
This is kinda peculiar imo. We've got about 4 million shares traded at .0020 and have only dropped one of the mm's at .0020. I'm wondering if they aren't hidding some buys at the ask.
no no basser. I think Magila is saying who cares what he has to say imo. Otherwise, and I hope this isn't true, he can't figure out for himself WHO WOULD CARE. LOL
And before I forget, thanks to whoever did that last 450000 at ask. Thanks for the effort.
At least I'm still wayyyy up after that last run to .008. Got in at .0027 so still happy here.
Hey Bre, I for one appreciate the ground and pound you've put into this for us all. Usual pinkie pooh stuff going on. Always gets me that they dump before the stocks even had a chance to take off. It's starting to look like what FFGO did a while back with all the dumping. I guess they want their pps to be at .0001 just like ffgo. Amazing
I hate those sell on the news days.
Very good morning to all. WE should get a nice run this a.m.
hi all. I've been watching HKBV for about a month now. Was in on the last run to .008. I found this and thought others might like to see it. It's old news but what the heck. It's from the U.S.A. Today. The link to the article is also below.

From hockey star to accident victim to CEO
A spokesman for Larry Twombly, CEO of Hat Trick Beverage, said after the story below appeared that he had been misled by his client about Twombly's academic and athletic achievements. Click for details.
By Stephanie Armour, USA TODAY
Larry "Buzzy" Twombly remembers feeling angry, angry enough to want to get up and punch the driver of the Trans Am who'd just barreled through the stop sign at 70 miles an hour. Twombly had flown off his motorcycle and crashed through the windshield of the car that hit him, but he didn't feel pain. Just anger.
By Dan MacMedan, USA TODAY
Larry Twombly is CEO of Hat Trick Beverage.
For a minute on that chilly, fall day in November 1984, he stood on his own. The Harvard freshman and athlete who'd already had been drafted by the National Hockey League was physically strong, and adrenaline gave him an extra rush. He tried to take a step and looked down.
That's when he realized his foot wasn't really there. All that was holding it to his left leg were a few red veins and a tendon. His entire ankle, as well as his future as a professional hockey player, had been destroyed in that late afternoon motorcycle accident.
The life-changing experience that left Twombly in a semi-conscious state for nearly two months was also the start of a new entrepreneurial career direction. A stratospheric hockey contract was no longer a possibility. But to Twombly's way of thinking, it meant a whole new world of opportunity in business was possible. Just over 10 years later, he is the CEO of Hat Trick Beverage (HKBV), a publicly traded company in Encinitas, Calif., that is set to do about $5 million in sales this year.
The company makes three distinctive beverage products and is poised to start acquiring other products to bring to market. It is also looking to expand across the USA and open up small distributorships.
About Twombly
Name: Larry "Buzzy" Twombly.
Date of birth: April 1, 1966.
Place of birth: Manchester, N.H.
Education: Harvard University. Graduated in 1988 with a degree in international business.
Family: Wife, Jill; daughter, Alexandra, 10; and son, Brady, 8.
Key career mileposts: Sales manager for a potato chip manufacturer, 1995. Developed and launched Buzzy's Coffee. Sold product in 2004. Launched Hat Trick Beverage, 2004.
Hobbies: Recreational hockey, spending time with his children.
"My accident experience benefits everything I'm doing now," says Twombly, a frank-talking, 39-year-old raised in Manchester, N.H. "I don't think I've been in a bad mood for a whole day since. It was a weight lifted off my shoulders. I realized I don't have to be that hockey player anymore. I could choose my own destiny."
New products find markets
Hat Trick has found success by introducing new products rather than trying to mimic what's already in the marketplace. It makes Vitality, a fruit-flavored vitamin drink that, unlike many others, is sugar-free, and is available in flavors such as cranberry-pomegranate and green apple. There is also Snap Z, an energy drink offered at restaurants and bars. And Dos Lagos, a line of water-based drinks popular with the Hispanic community.
The drink, known as aguas frescas, was a beverage that Twombly discovered during a weekend trip to Mexico. There, he saw people ladling the sweet-tasting beverage out of large barrels. When he realized the aguas frescas weren't sold in a bottled variety in the USA, he launched his own. Now they are sold in more than 1,250 independent convenience stores and markets in San Diego, Los Angeles and Arizona. Sales are expected to top $2.2 million this year.
A future as a beverage maker and entrepreneur was not something Twombly really considered as a boy growing up in New Hampshire, the son of a truck driver father and a mother who worked part time as a diner waitress. Sports were always a part of his life. In the winter, the swampy, mosquito-infested pond in his backyard would freeze over, and Twombly and his neighborhood friends would lace on skates and play hockey.
With two older sisters and a younger brother, Twombly was the first to go to college. He went to Harvard on a scholarship, but he felt somewhat out of place. His background didn't seem to mesh. For a short time, he had a roommate. The first thing his roommate asked him was, "What does your father do for a living?"
"Probably works for your dad," Twombly replied.
Defying the odds
But Twombly thrived on the ice, playing for the Harvard Crimson. Already drafted to play for the Boston Bruins, Twombly majored in international business but expected to play hockey. Instead, he spent months recovering from the accident.
He defied the odds. Despite the injury, which shattered his tibia and fibula in 12 places, Twombly went on to play as a center in the minors: the Maine Mariners, the Providence Bruins and the San Diego Gulls.
His recovery was slow. He had to rebuild his strength; he'd withered from 195 to 110 pounds while in the hospital. Doctors created a new ankle out of plastic, Kevlar and titanium — basically, making it bulletproof.
While playing for the Gulls, he met his wife, Jill, who is chief financial officer for a computer company.
It was in San Diego that his business acumen developed. With summers off, he took various jobs, including sales manager for a potato chip distributor. He left that job in 1995, becoming self-employed and developing his first beverage product, an iced-coffee drink. He developed and researched the product on his own, spending $20,000 of his wife's and his money.
He sold the product to a venture-capital group in exchange for stock. The stock was restricted (he couldn't sell it for a specific amount of time), so by the time he could sell it, he says, the stock was worthless.
He then began working as a consultant, helping others launch products, and developed a strong networking relationship with area distributors. Then he started his own company, Hat Trick, a hockey term that refers to the rare occasion when one player scores three goals in a game.
"He has charisma, a phenomenal grasp of the industry as a whole. He understands the customer, product and competition," says Chris Flanagan, a soft-drink distributor who has partnered with Twombly. "He's excellent at seeing the big picture."
As a CEO and entrepreneur, he also believes that his years devoted to hockey influence the way he approaches leadership. Every day, he says, is an essential game.
"When I'm growing up, in hockey, if you don't produce, you're cut. I got that from hockey," Twombly says. "You have to get up and treat every day as though it's the most important practice, the most important day, of your life."
Twombly is a father to Alexandra, 10, and Brady, 8, and keeps a busy schedule. As a CEO, he believes firmly in not setting unrealistic company goals. He also strives to remain accessible, even taking personal calls from his shareholders. The company went public in December.
"I have my phone number on everything and take their calls," he says, answering questions such as what the company's plans are and if the company is growing. Twombly knows that, because of his accident, he is no quitter.
"After the accident, there were so many times I should have quit, but once I start something, I don't quit," he says. "The way I approach things is in a simple, pragmatic way. You have to walk before you can run. I don't set unrealistic goals for myself, or for the company."
77, I don't have a problem with any of what you just said. Others had a problem with what I said a few weeks ago. Timing of it was bad, not the info. Info was spot on. Fly in the ointment type stuff. Some thought I was wrong for posting it. Others were pm'ing me thanking me for the info so they didn't get caught holding shares while the price dropped. Funny situation since then, Watkins's p.r.'s have been much more scarce and not at all helpful. Let me rephrase that. The p.r.'s have said "merger continues" and that's it about the merger but the fluff is continuous. Before my post, once or twice a week there was news. Now, we go two weeks and get one line. But hey, what do I know, right?
Good night all
Well, and this is just my opinion, with a bird in the hand, you know what you got. With the ones in the bush, you have nothing until you actually land it. Here's the so what- If the bigger fish isn't landed, the chances of landing the first fish are diminished significantly because you have spurned them already to chase greed. Thus, the first company wanting to get back in the game with CCMJ, in my opinion, might not be willing to do it. THAT IS what the problem would be. Then we have our r/m company, CCMJ, hung out to dry with no prospects and all of the shareholders left holding the bag. I'm guessing triple zero's would ensue pretty quickly.
I agree with you dog. I did say that I could see this being in the $30 range, IF, the right company was involved. Was my opinion. Just like others on here with their $.10 opinions or $1 opinions. So yes, your right, I did say something like that. ANDDDDDD with the right company, it could come to pass. I still think there's a merger in the works. I just think that CCMJ's head people are going after the birds in the bush instead of being satisfied with the one they had in their hand.
Wow buzz, that was inciteful. Never claimed he worked for CCMJ. That's you and all the rest jumping to conclussions. Funny thing is, I've posted what I know and it's been dead on so far. Don't forget to mention THAT in your tirades. So please, tell us, what part of what I posted has turned out to be wrong? What? That there was a problem with the merger? Hmmmmm turned out there was. Watkins told everyone in the p.r. that they were looking at other offers. That messed up the original r/m actions. I'll do what you want and let the manipulation continue here. There's more I know that would help a great deal but per your request.
Note that they were all on topic. I'm writting to the SEC about the admins habits and selective inforcement and stock manipulation practices. See what they think of all this garbage.
First post
Has BLDV or the shishter moaning posted anything as of late? I can't find anything of a posting since March of this year. Maybe I'm just not able to find it. Can someone please re-post any p.r.'s or news that was relevent so I can read it? And please, no fluff pr's or news bits. I know about the A.A.B.E. article already and to be honest, it doesn't really say anything worth noting on bldv. So please, repost any relevent pr's of bldv or news please.
2nd post
I do remember hearing that moaning was under investigation, from one of my sources, for fraud. It was word of mouth so there was nothing I could reprint. But apparently he tried to rip off someone he was going to in order to get some kind of financing. That's all I know that my source said.
3rd post
I sure do hope that if it is true that he is being investigated for fraud, that he has to re-pay to the shareholders in some way so that they don't get slammed so hard in the pocket book. Of course, that's just my opinion on what I'd like to see if he is being investigated.
These were all called spam but the people on the board for BLDV talk up the stock with no proof and have cost many people thousands and thousands via the manipulation. THE IHUB ADMINS help them do it so it's like banging your head on a wall trying to get anything real done so the public don't get dupped over and over again.
Anyway, this is my last post for the day so have a good one.
Dave, That is pure manipulation.
Dude, take a look at HKBV. They have had a bit of good news lately. I think they should pop soon.
Nah Rheddle, the design is to manipulate the stock in whatever way the "in crowd" wants and get jailed those that have a problem with the lies or have info contrary to what's going on. There's no rhyme or reason, just the IHUB ADMINS playing favorites and not even following their own tou rules. Your example fits as does mine. I'm in here because I posted a truth about BLDV, mainly that Quincey Moaning, the CEO and pres. of BLDV is under investigation for fraud. I also posted to another board my apology for not being able to get back to the board on what I knew because my computer blew up. Didn't matter that all the posts were on topic, not one bit. They called these manipulating fools called the ADMINS and asked that I be jailed and the admins did the jailing. Like I said, it was on target. Here, I'll use my next post to show you what I mean.
Have you cancelled my last two months yet Matt? I gotta run my daughter to school. Can you please have that done by the time I get back? Knew I shoulda bought one month at a time since I knew the favoritism existed and the idiots got you ADMINS to ban anyone who brings negatives to their precious boards so they can manipulate it!!!
How is it reckless to put out what I know and have learned through my contacts. Afterall, isn't that exactly what others on either board have done? The fact that some on each board don't like the posts don't make them wrong in any way. Tell me again how it's reckless to post that Quincey Moaning, the CEO and President of BLDV is under investigation when he is, and how it's wrong to bring to light how there may have been a possible glitch in the CCMJ R/M. As I said in the post for CCMJ, I was sorry that my computer blew up. Problem was that it wasn't a lie. So when I finally got back on line, I posted what I knew since what I had previously posted was not updated. I once again checked with those I trusted on the board to see if an update would be appropriate and then took their wisdom and came to the consensus that posting the update and apology was of value.
I know people on here don't like bad news but that does not make it wrong to post. Or are you trying to tell me that it's okay to only post good things and not the bad so that the people on here can be manipulated? I find that hard to believe. I just can't figure out why you all ban those that are anti-a-stock and not those that give an opinion that are pro-a-stock with the same kind of fervor? It just amazes me that those that rankle the feathers of the regulars on a board get censured while the regulars are allowed to put on a board, any info they want since they control it, no matter how false that info may be. I give this as evidence. On the BLDV board, Sterlng has been allowed to post all kinds of info that isn't factualy correct but you all just let it slide on by. When it's complained about, we get told that he's not breaking any tou rules by posting what he does. So then, by the same thinking, me posting about Moaning is the same. So once again, WHAT DID I DO WRONG TO GET BANNED? MY MOANING POSTS ARE IN LINE WITH THE TOU AND THE CCMJ APOLOGY POST IS IN VIOLATION HOW SO CRITICALLY THAT IT NEEDED TO BE PULLED? It does say in the tou that common sense when deleting posts should be used but it sure don't look like it's been used here. I've got a better idea. RETURN MY LAST TWO MONTHS OF THE 3 I THAT I'VE PAID FOR AND THEN BAN ME ALL YOU WANT.
Hello MATT, So, what reason did I get banned for this time?
On this part, I'm not sure but it is a posibility that CCMJ was forced, with that note being paid off a few weeks ago, to transfer that 10% ownership that Drivers Alert had in CCMJ into stock. CCMJ might have been asked by the r/m company that is doing the take over, to get DA to agree to take shares in exchange of the note. This isn't confirmed but it is a likely scenario since Mr. Watkins confirmed that DA was not one of the r/m companies and the real r/m company would want a 100% ownership of CCMJ. This part about taking out that 10% is speculation on my part but it does make sense to me.
Bliss, the only part of what you wrote that I know is not happening is Drivers Alert is not one of the r/m companies as was confirmed via email that I posted a few weeks back when I asked Mr. Watkins if DA was involved. He wrote me back saying that DA was not involved. As I said, I posted it to the board. Other than that, the rest sounds on the money.
With the r/m news still out there, I"m not seeing to many more dips. I could be wrong though. The last thing I was able to do was buy last week at .01 before my puter went to pot. Can only stay on here for about 1/2 hour longer. Wanted to touch bases to see what was new.
Too late for what?
Hello all, it's good to be back. Had a puter oopsie and havn't been able to get back on. Still waiting on the r/m news I see. Should be soon.
Wow, they put out a p.r. without any merger news. Now that's scarry.
In my opinion the company might be dumping shares thus diluting the pps. AIMO
And Evil, i don't begrudge you your opinion on staying in. It don't bother me if I have to pay a bit more to get shares on monday. What would really bother me is if on monday, this thing opened at around .0040 because his reactions were true. I didn't say this might not still be a huge success. But of course, all of you are jumping to some major conclussions and thinking that I am trying to pull something when all I was trying to do was protect you all by sharing what I knew. IT'S STILL YOUR CHOICE. SELL OR DON'T, I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU DO PERSONALLY. THAT IS YOUR DECISION IN THE FIRST PLACE, NOT MINE. So don't believe it. And if it turns out to be right, then maybe you'll say sorry as you take those losses and maybe thank you as you DON'T lose your shirt. As for me and those that got out, we're not hurt to bad either way. Unless this opens on monday at 2 cents or 4 cents or something like that, then they and I can get back in without to much damage if I read his reactions wrong.
You have a good one and God Bless.
Xilo
kool, I did sell. To me, it was enough. I knew what I was gonna do. The reason I asked for help on this was so that I could give it to you all so you could make a decision for yourself. Sell or don't, it's still your call. What I do is upto me.
I posted it because it's relavent to the stock in that it is what a contact did when pressed on an issue that in the past was not that big of a deal to talk about and now is. Namely, CCMJ and the r/m and how the company is doing.
Look, I seeked counsel on this before posting it. I wanted some help to say the least. I didn't want to tell just a few, which I havn't done yet, and not tell all. You can ask some on here whether I've been keeping what I find out to just a few or letting everyone know. He didn't say anything solid like "Mr. Watkins pulled the plug on the whole thing." I asked him for an update and by how he said it, he was nervous. I asked for a little more and he didn't elaborate on it. We hung up. I called back a bit later and all he said was enough and hung up. That's it, that's what happened. He's been solid on his info is all I know so as I said, in my opinion, it might be worth using some caution. How much caution you use is upto you my friends. All I know is that I am not in it anymore. Maybe I'm over reacting but that is my choice. What you do with what I put out there is upto you .
