PWTC has multi-year flag/ pennant coming to apex today; CEO files today for right to buy 100,000 shares and -- guess what? -- a 100,000 share transaction happens in today's aftermarket. Like, duh....
Up: PWTC (Caradoc) Got multi-year flag/ pennant coming to apex today; CEO files today for right to buy 100,000 shares and -- guess what? -- a 100,000 share transaction happens in today's aftermarket. Like, duh....
Note that PWTC rose in anticipation of recent news (the old "buy the rumor" syndrome) and for three days has held on to every penny of the gain (no "sell the news" effect).

Even better, bid and ask both edged up a tad just as the market closed. If I were a betting man (and since all it will take is one transaction at the ask!!), I'd say that tomorrow takes it higher than either the anticipation or the actual news.

Best idea yet for a board on this forum!!
As you say, there won't be many posts if people stick to the subject as you've defined it, but those few will be worth reading. Speaking of "few," I'm only aware of one: ATNG. It's already underway. Predecessor biotech PBTK did nasty reverse split of 1-for-40 to arrive at miniscule float with new symbol (PBDG) that lasted for a couple weeks before reverse merger took over and changed symbol again to become ATNG, telecom selling "Blue Kiwi" long distance service. With bid of 2 bucks and ask of 3, it's hard to press the "buy" button because of little voice saying "Hey, dummy! This would have to go up 50% in order to break even." The huge spread makes it a lot like buying on pinksheets.
In the spirit of your new board, here's summary post I did under interim symbol of PBDG when it wasn't yet clear that what was going on was a reverse merger:
http://ragingbull.lycos.com/mboard/boards.cgi?board=PBDG&read=81
For what it's worth, a lot of things still aren't clear on this one, and I'd appreciate hearing what you and others think of it.

Personal taste in donuts doesn't matter much as a potential investment. What may count for a lot is that Krispy Kreme has the market for the "California Lite" style of donut nailed down flat. It's not only trendy but the trend will spread. Lots of free publicity from morning drive talk show hosts thanking coworkers for bringing in Krispy Kreme and griping when they bring in any other brand.
KK donuts are also distinctly smaller than other brands and what there is of it is lighter/ fluffier. Both reduced size and density translate to less flour, etc which lowers cost and increases profit per donut.

UP: PWTC (Caradoc) As my OTC:BB pick for tomorrow, I suspect it will test resistance at .75 but not break through unless there's a morning press release. If there is (and it's the right one!!) it should close near .75, gap up on Monday and blow right past older resistance at 1.00 to 1.03. I don't see any resistance at 2.50 or 2.70 since most of those folks are long gone or have averaged down.
For those willing to look at pinkies, there's no doubt that John is right about QBID having bottomed. Nothing special about tomorrow for QBID, but the time to buy is when no one else wants it. MDMN isn't quite low enough yet. And -- believe it or not -- pinkies even offer a longterm buy: CYBG, which is near enough to bottom to make worthwhile.

UVCL for 3 days or more. Should be easy double or better as the lemmings who followed spam on EYPSF (or wish they had!!) jump all over this latest spam stock. I hate it when a good stock gets spammed. In any event, no point in resisting the flow, so sell Wednesday morning for profit but buy back a week later for longterm.
Just how I'm playing it...

JM: (slightly OT) Good to know that something is going on w/ Arete. I'm looking to pick up some bargains in half a dozen companies during the last week of December: ones that are down enough to see a fair amount of tax loss selling but have reasons to bounce back. So far, ORCH and CDDD are likely candidates and there are a host of OTC:BB candidates. Note that ORCH may be bouncing back too quickly for this strategy.
Keep well,

PWTC moving. EOM
Weekly: PBTK (caradoc) Here's why:
OS and float weren't bad when it was PBTK. With the 1-for-40
reverse split and symbol change in place, it's now ready to move up. Here's why...
The 21 September filing
http://biz.yahoo.com/e/010921/pbtk.ob.html
ended with words about the company's planned advantage in being "first to market" a
successful internet-based telecommunications system. It's certainly true that the
competition has been unsuccessful for two reasons:
1. Poor voice quality and lousy service
2. Clunky technology with work-arounds making it awkward to send or receive or both.
If you've been listening to the radio in any major market, you will have heard ATNG
beginning to market its BlueKiwi long distance service with elegant technology on both
ends and proprietary compression algorithm to make internet telephony seem like what
everyone expects from their telephone. The ads don't even mention that it's
internet-based, what techies call either VOIP (voice over internet protocol) or -- since the
internet's protocol consists of transmitting data in "packets" -- VOP (voice over packet).
Even ATNG's website simply says "same great voice quality...."
http://www.mybluekiwi.com/sub/ATNG003.html
The filing addressed "$12,000,000 in advertising over a two year period in exchange for
stock in the Company and future telephone time" which is a heck of a big advertising
budget for a firm with this market capitalization. I can personally vouch that the Los
Angeles radio market is playing a lot of ads for BlueKiwi's "unlimited long distance for
$34.95 per month."
As near as I can tell, the same tempting ads are playing on Art Bell's nightly program
which blankets the country and the planet. Would appreciate if someone can confirm that
this is part of the syndicated program rather than local station (KFI, AM 640) simply
splicing in Art's voice as lead-in to a local commercial. Even if it's just "local," KFI's 50,000
watt clear channel signal ("Conelrad," if you're old enough to remember when radios dials
had special marks to indicate 640 and 1220 AM) reaches 14 western states at night and
a lot of Art's listeners are longhaul truckers who tend to be big users of long distance. In
short, savvy use of advertising dollars even if those dollars didn't have to come out of
cashflow but were "paid for" by future phone use. Which is a savvy way to pay for things.
Near the end of the filing were words about having "signed a contract with DISH Network
to jointly market the other's products." Sure enough, Dishnetwork's website has been
changed to pitch BlueKiwi's "unlimited long distance for $34.95 per month" in a box that
not only comes first on their web page but is bigger than either their "100 channels for $9
a month" or their national network of dealers who rent the receivers.
http://www.dishnetwork.net/
(Note that the site has a problem: all links go to their dealer network map when the
BlueKiwi link should go to
http://www.mybluekiwi.com/ Have sent email asking them to fix this.)
After a reverse split, it's good to see news about what the company is planning to do. It's
even better to see those plans being beginning to be fulfilled within a week or so. What
hasn't been fulfilled yet are the words in the filing under "Mission": "delivery of
'ATNG-branded' voice, data and video digital products to targeted markets worldwide...."
Can't expect corporate mission to be accomplished within a week, but having linked up
with DISH Network could be the first step for how a phone company plans to end up
accomplishing digital delivery of data and video.
The RS and resulting low OS and miniscule float have made the company attractive
enough for a fastburner bunch like ATNG to do at least the first half of a "reverse merger."
ATNG has now achieved being a listed company even if the symbol is PBDG. For a full
"reverse merger," the next step would be to change corporate name/symbol to whatever
ATNG wants (probably ATNG!!)
Recommendation: Read the filing a couple of times. Focus on the words under "Mission."
Look at what's already going on for an indication of whether/ to what extent ATNG has a
shot at making it come true. Then ask yourself two questions:
(1) With demonstrated technology and $12 million in hand for advertising, if ATNG were
doing an IPO for twice the number of shares, would it be priced closer to 5 bucks or 10
bucks per share?
(2) Given the actual OS and float, what do you think of it at less than 5 bucks per share?
For what it's worth, my hunch is that ATNG has a better chance of becoming THE highend
phone company of the 21st century than any other contender, that it won't be on the
OTC:BB exchange for more than a year or so, and that many of us will end up bragging
about having bought ATNG before it was ATNG.
Just how I see things,

Rationale for shorting Swiss currency and Swiss-owned companies:
The Swiss will start out saying "We're just being neutral." This worked during WWII, with
the Nazis being able to smelt Lord knows how much dental gold and stash it away in
Switzerland. But information is easier to come by today and those dealing in dirty money
won't have worldwide ignorance as their ally. Once the US brings pressure at the
governmental level, things will become uncertain. The Swiss may not comply, but even the
possibility that they won't want to be documented as once again being a financial center
involved in atrocities like Dachau and the New York terrorism should create enough
uncertainty for anything related to Switzerland to nosedive.
Any thoughts?
Caradoc
Agreed. EOM
Hotdog: Regarding your query on RB as to whether anything other than "prudence" might make you hold on to PWTC rather than jumping elsewhere, keep in mind that OEMs finished testing in late July or early August. So, the weelk that we got our first OEM announcement was the the absolute earliest that a couple weeks of dickering and a week of satusfying lawyers could have been accomplished. As posted below
http://ragingbull.lycos.com/mboard/boards.cgi?board=PWTC&read=22959
given that we were to hear about OEMs over maybe a 10 week period, the old bellshaped curve kicks in and says that if OEM announcements are coming over that timeframe, the middle through end of September would be the most likely period for such announcements to come out.
The above may add up to no more than "prudence" (which sounds boring) but imprudent could cost you some bucks between now and end of September. Maybe take on a new hobby or sport for the endorphin buzz of trading without the commissions.

MB: Rather than an imaginary "thread dude," it would be more straightforward to set up the boards without a chairman and let ibox indicate that the board has been set up as a "placeholder" and is in need of a chairman.

An OT thought: Since none of us know anything for sure about what AREE will do tomorrow or why, why not take the opportunity to alert other posters to your favorite two or three stocks? If that's not interesting, what would you do with the money if a speculative investment turned out better than you could have ever hoped?
Don't worry about getting wild or crazy. It's a great day for dreams and possibilities. (Besides, James or I can always go back later and delete anything you want to disappear.)

AREE for a "pop." PWTC to make a real difference in your wealth. Only drawback ("looks too good to be true...") is actually a plus since it's working to slow down what would otherwise be a skyrocket.

PWTC may not be the biggest gainer tomorrow or the next day, but should be good for several more multi-day legs up over the next few months as we hear about other OEMs signing up to produce the battery. Got to love that $1.50 per battery.

Tonight we have independent confirmation of at least one OEM ready to come onboard....
PWTC poster Chet on RB hates the high
desert where he lives and has been putting all his money into PWTC for more than two years,
betting that the company will someday actually do what it has been working toward (start
licensing its revolutionary battery technology, have cash flowing in from multiple OEMs and
have price based on PE rather than market's perception of risk/ reward ratio so that he can
afford to escape the heat of the high desert. So Chet happened to stumble across some
"insider information" today that provides independent confirmation of the rumors that have
driven PWTC's price up for four days in a row. Here 'tis:

Three-pronged look at PWTC:
1. Even though 3-year chart looks better, "techies" may like the multiyear pattern shown in two-year chart:
http://quote.yahoo.com/q?s=PWTC.OB&d=c&t=2y&l=on&z=m&q=l
The uptick on the far right is clearer here:
http://quote.yahoo.com/q?s=PWTC.OB&d=c&k=c1&a=v&p=s&t=3m&l=on&z=m&q=...
2. Those who appreciate how low float increases volatility in either direction may wonder why a stock with 3 million float didn't drop more than it did recently (.4X to .3X) when former corporate officer had to resign for medical reasons and sell 200,000 shares. The answer is callused hands holding on and buying more.
3. As for why it closed at .40 last Friday and .54 on Monday and .62 yesterday and is at .63 or .65 today, there's a pretty strong argument that explains why and why it's likely to continue longer than you might think:
