Is the U.S. stock market rigged?
Steve Kroft reports on a new book from Michael Lewis, "Flash Boys," that reveals how a group of unlikely characters discovered how some high speed traders work the stock market to their advantage.
Also, it looks as if HFT traders (certain stocks) and what seems to be programmed scalpers have now hit the pennies.
Talkin' about wishful thinking.
The SEC won't sign off on the S-4.
The times they are 'a changing. The companies will present bulletproof information.
Agree, great news. AEGY to .01 and beyond. OTCQB is important for the additional credibility in the MMJ market, IMO.

US over-counter trading tightens reporting, other standards
Wed, Mar 26 16:15 PM EDT
NEW YORK, March 26 (Reuters) - OTC Markets, the operator of three U.S. over-the-counter equity markets, is rolling out tighter reporting standards and eligibility requirements for its venture-stage market to crack down on stock scams and bolster transparency, the company said on Wednesday.
On May 1 for its OTCQB market, OTC Markets will introduce a new minimum one-cent bid price requirement and will require the company's chief executive or chief financial officer to certify that its reporting obligations are current and that disclosures about shareholdings, officers and corporate profile are correct.
The bid requirement, in which stocks must have been quoted for at least 1 cent daily over a 30-day period or be dropped from the market, aims to ferret out companies that fall prey to dilutive stock fraud schemes and promotions, OTC Markets said.
OTC Markets also will charge a one-time $2,500 fee for new applicants and an annual $10,000 fee for companies trading on its markets.
Foreign companies that are listed on a qualified stock exchange and are current in their U.S. reporting obligations will be allowed to trade on OTCQB, OTC Markets' middle-tier marketplace. In the past, they traded on the lowest "pink" tier.
On Tuesday, the two most actively traded stocks on OTC Markets on Tuesday were French dairy products maker Danone SA and Swiss pharmaceuticals Roche Holding AG .
Trading volume on OTC Markets was 20.1 billion shares on Tuesday, about three times that of all U.S. stock exchanges and other trading venues. But the value traded, $1.4 billion, paled in comparison with the $263.4 billion executed on the other exchanges and venues, data from BATS Global Markets showed.

Huh? A reverse merger is GOOD; very positive if the private assets, products, services, business plan being brought to the public party are transparent and viable. Hope you're not confusing the term with a reverse split.
You see all kinds of predictions with R/M's - typically reverse merger stocks will soar 5 digit percentages - but if you need to boil it down to a bumper sticker: R/M's Good. R/M's Kaboomage. It's never that simple, but check out some histories.
AEGY long.
Here's the official reason the NSCC is discontinuing the Stock Borrow Program.
Federal Register
February 6, 2014
Usage of NSCC's Stock Borrow Program has declined over the past few years. In 2007, NSCC borrowed a daily average of approximately $1.85 billion in market value at the close of each day from the approximately 21 Members that participated in the Stock Borrow Program. In October 2013, only three Members participated in the Stock Borrow Program and the average daily value borrowed at the close of day during that month was approximately $81 million. Usage of the program has continued to drop since the end of October 2013. Given the reduction in the use of the program, NSCC has determined that it is not economically efficient to maintain the service.
likely have another backdoor in ta doing the same thing
It would be good to know all the backdoors; our friendly brokers lending shares, etc.
You mean the DTCC/NSCC putting the lid on the cookie jar?
NSCC discontinuing its Stock Borrow Program. Hope to hear any opinions, thoughts, guesses too.
NSCC Important Notice
SUBJECT:
APPROVAL OF RULE FILING (SR-NSCC-2013-13) – DISCONTINUE NSCC’S STOCK BORROW PROGRAM
On January 31, 2014, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) approved1 the rule filing file no. SR-NSCC-2013-13 (“Filing”), which was filed with the SEC by National Securities Clearing Corporation (“NSCC”) on December 10, 2013 pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Filing proposed to amend NSCC’s Rules & Procedures to discontinue its Stock Borrow Program.
The proposed rule change described in the Filing will be effective as of Friday, March 14, 2014.
---------
How the Service (currently) Works
> All NSCC settling members can participate in the Stock Borrow Program.
> All equity and corporate bond securities are eligible for the program.
Nighttime Process: By early evening on each business day, participants forward to NSCC a list of securities that are available for borrowing.
Daytime Process: By 1:00 p.m. on each business day, participants forward to NSCC a list of securities that are available for borrowing during the day cycle.

Nighty night, but the sales figures for melatonin might wake you up.
Thanks for the first-hand experience. Your post made me wonder if a relaxation drink could replace melatonin for a stressed-out America.
http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424127887324637504578567670426190246
Sales of melatonin have risen dramatically over the past five years, according to Nutrition Business Journal. Estimates for 2012 put sales at $260 million; in 2007, the market was just $90 million.
If the DTC/NSCC can put a lid on the cookie jar, it'll have an effect. No, it won't end all shorting, but maybe a significant chill (pun intended). Not sure I believe the program is "no longer economically efficient." Something else may be going on.

Good to see Tanke news.
The news doesn't have any connection with PVE, but it adds a lot of credibility as a company.
http://www.otcmarkets.com/news/otc-market-headline?id=15859642
The agreement is expected to bring management revenues of $4.8 million in 2014 and additional incubation and investment revenues of $60 million.
Beautifully written PR, I might add.

Despite the transparency obligations on the home market it cannot be prevented in all cases that disreputable market participants try to influence trade in fraudulent ways. Regarding OTC-QB and OTC-BB Börse Berlin has made the experience that such influencing may not only take place at Börse Berlin alone, but also simultaneously at the American trading venue.
Good find.

Which begs the question, what TA is most meaningful?
Got an Early-To-The-Party Oscillator?
MS Delphin hmmmmm.
Current owner is Vishal Cruises Pvt. Ltd.
Operator: Passat Kreuzfahrten.
Why are we even discussing this? At this point, it looks as if PVE is merely a travel agent, filling cabins and bar stools; certainly not chartering the ship.
Back to Vishal. A guess. Not starting any rumors.
Vishal Cruises Pvt. Ltd was incorp'd in 2011, about the time they snagged Delphin out of bankrupty.
Vishal is PRIVATE.
Vishal *may* want to be a public company and may be flirting with the idea with PVEC.
Another consideration: Vishal Cruises Pvt. Ltd may be part of Vishal Shipping Agencies Pvt. Ltd. (need confirmation), which is HUGE. They may be testing the cruise line waters with Vishal Cruises Pvt. Ltd.
If you think those are non-issues, then you don't believe in a level playing field and the importance of the integrity of markets.
FINRA enforcement explains it far better than a post on a msg board.
2012 was a doozy and apparently the surveillance is just getting warmed up. Expect more of the same when 2013 is released.
FINRA’s 2012 Year in Review
... for the first time, of cross-market surveillance programs that more effectively detected electronic manipulative trading.
FINRA brought 1,541 disciplinary actions against registered firms and individuals, levied fines in excess of $68 million, and ordered $34 million in restitution to harmed investors. FINRA expelled a total of 30 firms from the securities industry, barred 294 individuals, and suspended 549 brokers from associating with FINRA-regulated firms.
Thnx for Retail 101.
Investors can only buy and sell PVEC through intermediaries called market makers.
Aren't we beyond talkin' retail?
Why 'proprietory [sic] scalping by mm's' is a NON-ISSUE.
Proprietary trading is THE issue in the OTC markets, IMO. Are you not aware that MM's and traders trade for their own accounts?
A prop trader using the firms own capital can be a member of FINRA complete with its own MPID and never show up on L2, quoting securities. He can trade through a MM with resources not available to the average retail investor, including the ability to communicate with the MM "regarding the execution of transactions." Must be like taking candy ...
Wow, that's the reason for the 100-share trades?
To show that the bid hasn't moved?
Heh, thnx, needed that.
a 'token' trade might be posted @ .0001
just to show the 'tape readers' that the BID PRICE
has not moved.
And all this time, every day for months, I thought those squiggly, little, humping lines reflected manipulation. Heh.
To be clear, prop traders have been scalping PVEC for months.
Now that's a post that helps to peel the onion. Thnx.
About those records.
They can be subpoenaed if necessary. Also, doubtful those records are legally yours, especially Peter's bank statements.
Quang's has the transfer records from his bank transfers.
Then why did he present the wrong ones to the Court?
To the poster earlier about the CC shot. Absolutely no identifiable info is in that pic. Beyond that, it's all public info on a court system.
Good gawd, more from the sandbox.
This is all going to be decided on the signed defaulted promissory note.
No it's not.
This gets weirder every time I look at it. And, yep, your pal's schedule, the Plaintiff's Exhibit A, is in there and not included here because I don't want to get into evidence that only the court can decide. Suffice to say, it would take almost unimaginable incompetence to actually present "typos" of that magnitude to the Court.
Lessee, investor agrees to a JV and physically hands over his credit card (overnight envelope), authorizing expenditures up to $50K.
Investor claims he didn't authorize any expenditures.
Peter travels to TX and signs a Promissory Note to cover the charges and funds advanced to the Company.
Investor refuses to acknowledge any communications from Company.
The good part is that all the mud seems contained, not a serious threat to PVE, and is in the hands of the Court.
Another bit of communication. Interesting that Turner knew every charge that was being made on that credit card.
By schedule and documents, you mean the Plaintiff's allegations? They were addressed by PVE in no uncertain terms as being fraudulent; specifically Fraud Upon the Court ... PERJURY, the Plaintiff willfully provided false testimony to the Court.
NO "schedule or docs" submitted by the Plaintiff.
The case won't be decided here. That's why we have a court system. 'Nuff said.
The Court posted the schedule and documents. To be clear, the Clerk of the Court along with the judge decides the schedule. Not the parties in the case. Why is this even under discussion? See earlier post for schedule.
There's a lot more involved than alleged typos. You might want to read the doc from PVE to the Court.
PVE dictating a court schedule? How could you possibly come to that conclusion?
These are official court docs.

The case would be funny except for the waste of the Court's time and the agro to PVE. Too bizarre. How can anyone present a chart to a court of funds paid and not be able to prove it ... and then gets the name of the bank wrong. "Judge, I have some pretty pictures on a chart ..."

Pretty fancy footwork. No, the Daily Short Sale Vol doesn't represent short POSITIONS. It totals the short vol on any given trading day.
FINRA's official definition of Daily Short Volume: Aggregate reported share volume of executed short sale trades during regular trading hours.
FINRA rep: "The amount of shares at the end of the day's tape are the result of shares shorted after any kind of covering that could have transpired for that day. Those are bottom line numbers for the day."
Want some better numbers?

Re: 100-share blocks/Buys or sells.
Here's my take. The objective is to control the float, the fraudsters' ultimate goal. Then it's whack time with 100-share blocks to control the PPS.
Per PR, massive amount of fraudulently issued shares was issued into the float, which would allow the crooks to control the float.
This appears to be just another variation on the float scheme.
http://www.securitieslawyer101.com/float/
Anti-Fraud Provisions Apply To Public Float Schemes
Summary: It is likely that the Justice Department will pursue criminal charges against public float manipulators in the near future.
Agree. It's not necessary to major in microbiology to understand a couple of things.
> Huge need. Liver cancer is a leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide, accounting for more than 600,000 deaths each year.
> Huge interest. Since the discovery in 1993 of the first small silencing RNA, a dizzying number of small RNA classes have been identified, including microRNAs (miRNAs), small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) and Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs). These classes differ in their biogenesis, their modes of target regulation and in the biological pathways they regulate. There is a growing realization that, despite their differences, these distinct small RNA pathways are interconnected, and that small RNA pathways compete and collaborate as they regulate genes and protect the genome from external and internal threats.
If MCET is confident enough to file a patent application for a new class of RNA therapeutics, they've looked at previous research and might just have something that's novel and works.
Nope, those certs can easily be used as, in effect, collateral for the shorts. Research the securities lending industry. Huge and ruthless.
Not necessarily. How do you explain this?
Effective January 14, 2014, the company has successfully completed the collection and return of 499,998,000 shares of its common stock back to the company treasury for cancellation. This as a result of successful negotiations with parties issued stock during the aforementioned activities.
Presently, there are 598,688,000 shares of common stock that the company has issued a "Stop Order" on. We are confident all efforts will ultimately assist us in returning all suspect stock to the corporate treasury.
Beyond that, we may see another CUSIP change, which would force a new accounting of shares.
the shares that hit the street stay in the street.
