Just an update on Joost from personal experience.

I just took an update of the beta test version they have (I think it's now 0.90.0 or something like that). This update DOES INCLUDE TFN, whereas it was not available previously.

I had mentioned that the other "live" programs available (like National Geographic etc.) were clearer than the way things look on Zim, and TFN is the same way.

The TFN feeds that they have are much more "TV like" than the standard choppy digital look that most streaming video has on the net.

I'm not saying that it's perfect & it looks just like TV - But Joost is the best full-screen internet video I have seen to date,

I think it will take longer - You probably have the people who are of the "any profit is a good profit" mentality selling off, which is most likely why it's back down into the .008's.

I don't think too many should be expecting to get back in lower though, so flipping is probably not an issue.

All IMO.

UBSS gives me a headache - .0065/.0075 B/A.

Watching L2 for this and a BUNCH of other stocks, they seem to be awfuly blatant about their manipulation - How is it that they have not gotten nailed for anything huge enough to make them stop?!?

I must say, in a way I'm glad my retirement fund isn't marginable - I'd be sooooo tempted to try to flip right now, then end up losing out becasue this probably won't come back down again! IMHO

Staying at .0003 & .0004 is fine with me though - Keep the PPS low until after the end of April so nobody has the incentive to convert!

Where's the volume? I thought yesterday's buying would carry over to more today, but we're sitting at under 16M so far today.

"They" usually know something before the rest of us (they referring to MM's, insiders, someone who accidentally overheard something while having lunch at Panera, etc.). Seems that news may be coming shortly. Could be that someone got word of the buy-out numbers, and they want to get in as low as possible before it's released, so they are buying at what we call highs, but they know is dirt cheap.

Only time will tell if this is the case. Let's hope it's a PR in the next few days saying "We have accepted a tender offer from Sib Almaz. All shareholders will be given the option of selling at .15/share...." or something like that!

All IMO, of course!

Under 35?!?! I would have thought that someone could not have become such a bad man - a very bad man - in less than 50 years!

Agree with you there. What we need is for people to realize that there is nothing in the Constitution that guarantees that people are not to be "presonally offended" by stuff.

I think that the kind of people who are into the type of content that TFN shows will tend to be the "normal" group of people who are not easily offended. F the others, they won't be subscribing anyway!

Last trade I see

0.0003 100000 OTO 10:40:25

And there we go again - We are now back to the f'n .0003's.

No volume on any of the Pinks that I am watching though.

Depends on how cold the pool water is....

Something seems to be up with the Pinks - Another stock I watch has had only 2 trades so far for a volume of 3.75M & did a couple hundered million yesterday. When trading slowed at the end of the day yesterday, it was right after 911 shares posted, and today's first trade was for 911 shares with only 1 more after that. Something odd. MM's getting put on alert to stop playing around?

I'm still not showing any trades on Schwab - What the heck is going on here?

Take a look at 6/16/06 (I think that was the date) - 911 trades all over, with everyone thinking that meant "let it go."

And it should only go up.

But since people like to see calculations, here's one.

Let's say that they did another $5M in the next 6 months for a total of $10M in a year.

O/S (while it may have changed since we don't know, per the gagged T/A) was 355M, if I remember correctly.

$5,000,000 / 355,000,000 shares works out to $.028 / share. Hmmm, that number sounds awful familiar. I seem to recall someone mentioning it earlier today....

That is just for a year with no growth, and doesn't even take into account what the license is worth, which I have heard is at least $17M, and is probably actually worth more.

Let's put that into the calculation.

$17M + $5M = $22M

$22,000,000 / 355,000,000 shares is $.062 / share.

It really doesn't sound unreasonable to me that the buy-out price would be around $.1 / share, once you calculate things out. It actually sounds a little low to me, when you take future projections into account.

This stock pretty much has to do something big in the very near future, IMO.

I realize that it doesn't matter to the company itself - BUT it possibly would to potential investors to see something announced like:

We just got a shipment worth $2.1M wholesale, which will eventually sell for a retail of $30M once cut & polished... blah blah blah.

The general public, which consists of people like my wife's dad playing with the market on his lunch hour, would probably be more apt to be interested in a company that is getting diamonds that will eventually sell for $30M to quantify the shipment. He would have no idea what $2.1M wholesale in diamonds would be, but would more understand what $30M in retail would.

Edit - Note that the only number that is real is the $2.1M. The 30M was randomly used as an example since I don't personally know what it would be worth retail.

One thing I haven't seen anyone talk about who knows this kind of thing (the wife worked at Kay Jewelers as an office manager before we were married, so she wouldn't know enough about this to ask, but I do know she told me that their stuff in the store sometimes had as much as a 4000% markup). $2.1M is the wholesale value of the shipment - what would the retail value of such a shipment be?

Edit - I actually meant 400%, not 4000%!

LOL, I only use my powers for good! Actually, I guess that could actually be good for the market overall!

I was actually thinking around your "neighborhood" long term (like 2008 +) myself. I'm concerned that it can't hit that with such a large O/S, but Sandy may end up fixing that issue without the dreaded R/S with a decent buy-back. Of course, it also remains to be seen what dilution occurs with the preferred conversion. Still have almost a month for that.

OK, didn't check L2 myself to see how many it was, LOL - Just went by the drop in my position & the post saying a "ton." Using Bloomfield's L2 & scared to refresh too much after the warning they just sent out this weekend to not abuse it!

Well, I certainly wouldn't be mad if your prediction comes true! In fact, I won't be anything except lying on a beach.

Yeah, what's up with that? Maybe more buy-back?

.35? I want some of what you're smoking! Or did you mean .0035?

I am so very tempted to put in a small limit sell at .0065 right now, just to get some cash into my account - But having a retirement fund that is not marginable, I'm too scared to do it with the 3 day settlement rule! LOL

Good to hear - was just checking!

I still don't want to see it go up too much yet & give people incentive to convert (dilute) their preferreds over though.

LOL, so does that mean you'll already have dumped at .0004's?

Actually I'd rather see him posting - Whether or not he posts on this board, he will still continue to do what he does, and I'd rather hear if he has to do with the volume of not, if possible.

I was just looking at mine to make sure I don't have the first one too low, and it's at .028, so we're both in the same ballpark for now. I was thinking of upping what I have out there as well after this great news. I specifically like the way they barely mention the TO, as thought they are specifically NOT trying to pump, but are giving some update just to at least answer the questions being asked.

El Networko de Fighto???

Very good post & thoughts. I actually did not expect the lows that have happened recently myself - I expected to see a few 10k-ish sales go through at the lows we experienced, but not the amount that have happened.

I actually attribute them to the few who were in low just a bit lower where it actually posted, and sold for a very slight profit, as was noted here by certain well-known individuals who did such.

I agree that EOD buying has been pretty solid, but it was not at a rate of the "highs" as it was yesterday, for the most part. And, yes, the PPS is actually beyond ridiculous, IMO!

It is nice to see that it has not hit the lows expected by OILY slick bashers who have shown up in the past month or so, and I, for one, am happy to see it mainiaining for the most part.

Let's talk about SHORTS for a second. I personally think that there actually is a conspiracy among MM's. I don't think it will ever be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt though, because of the kind of money that they have to make such issues "go away." I think it has happened here, and among many other stocks, especially Pinks since they are so unregulated (for lack of a better word). I would LOVE to see them get their due - but I don't think that will happen.

OK, that's enough for tonight!

Howdy - Yup, we closed green here, have things looking better than they have in a long time in BKMP (espacially after the divvy issue dies in a month), and will be even better in about 20 minutes when I get out of work & head out to the gym. How about you?

Just an observation & personal opinion. Looks to me like the last 10 minute or so trades of the day were made by someone (possibly multiple someone's) trying to get in while they can before the weekend. Close wasn't even painted. Me thinks somebody may know that something is coming Monday! All IMO, of course!

Don't see him buying at 3:00 on a Friday - He's usually out on the beach by now!

What's with the 0 share trade at .0002?

I don't know how they did it, but they actually put a fast-talking Chinese accent in the way mine was written, and it just says

YOU TOO FAT - LOSE WEIGHT FATTY

Hmmmm, I guess they ARE pretty dead on with those things!

Gotta watch them, they write them with the same gramatical correctness that Sandy used up to this past shareholder letter! Might have actually meant that good things may happen in the end, rather than at the end of May.

What, did everyone eat Chinese for lunch today & decide to start posting their fortune cookie messages?

No offense, as I have more respect for your word than a lot of others here based on your "buy" calls - I just don't put as much faith in your run or PPS predictions based on past experience. LOL

Unless, of course, you know that you & your group have some plans for multiple days of billion share buys in the near future???

Don't take it up too much until after April 30 though - I don't want to see much conversion!

LOL, I was thinking that the names being presented like that were a setup for a punch line!
