Going to see about updating the DYTB board with their news today. "Daytonabrands, Inc. Debt Free After Canceling Promissory Note"
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/board.asp?board_id=7994
A few other boards need to be updated including HOKU, SKNN, etc.
At least we got some news on one of mine...
DYTB Debt Free!
How about some news!?!? Its been almost 2 months! Let's get on it!
GO HOKU, DYTB, and SKNN!
HOKU
http://you are obviously here!
DYTB
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/board.asp?board_id=7994
SKNN
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/board.asp?board_id=7089
I'm bracing for the pedal to hit the metal and for this to take off.
Why the volume? I will take it.
Looks like its time to buy again.
Got some money freed up and if HOKU goes back above $10 I will sell and put equal amounts into DYTB and SKNN.
Waiting on 1 peice of news sucks, but the closing of loans will instantly make this run.
Definitely could/should have sold at $10, but looking to be coming back.
Reverses are not good, but a reverse/forward is generally good.

When the Oracle of Omaha Warren Buffett started investing, he was able to turn $10,000 into the multibillion dollar conglomerate Berkshire Hathaway. Similarly, Shelby Davis began with $50,000 and amassed a $900 million family fortune.
Inspirational stories of stock market successes like these give me hope that I'll achieve my own personal financial goals. However, I can already hear the objections. What if you don't have $50,000 to launch your investing career? What if your bank account doesn't have $5,000 in it, let alone $10,000, to start building your retirement nest egg? Are you doomed to a life of penury and misery?
No! You don't need a trust fund as large as Trouble's, the dog owned by the late Leona Helmsley, to start securing your financial future. In fact, a commitment to regular, small investments -- as little as $50 or $100 a month -- can be the start of a million-dollar retirement account.
A four-step plan
The four keys to achieving this goal are:
Start today!
Invest regularly. Every month, put away $250, $100, even $50.
Look to the stock market for your best hope of realizing your dreams.
Seek out undervalued small-cap stocks for your greatest returns.
You can beat the market
You know the importance of investing sooner rather than later. And you know that putting small, regular amounts into the stock market can make a big difference over time. But why small caps?
Small caps are in the market segment where investors can make the greatest returns. With small caps, investors have an edge because institutions tend to ignore them and analysts don't cover them. By the time anyone realizes they're there, they've already grown and appreciated in price. Even the venerable Eastman Kodak, which traces its lineage to George Eastman's experiments on his mother's kitchen table, started off as a small company.
To find those small-cap stocks, we're first going to run a simple screen, and then we will turn to the Motley Fool CAPS community to validate those choices.
We want companies with market values less than $2.5 billion to qualify as a small cap, and they should trade above $5 a share to weed out penny stocks. I'm also looking for stocks that have already begun to grow and will keep growing. So I'm looking for companies that had an earnings surprise of 20% or more last quarter but that also have the prospect of growing earnings at least 20% annually for the next five years, according to analysts.
The CAPS advantage
I take this collection to the collective investing wisdom of the 26,000 professional and novice investors in the CAPS universe. I find the top-rated members of this community -- if the best and brightest CAPS players also think these stocks hold potential, then we ought to take notice, too.
Here are some of the top stocks this simple screen found:

Of course, this isn't a list of stocks we recommend to buy. We need to look more closely at these companies to see if the faith that analysts have placed in them is deserved. This is a starting point for more research, but we've got the CAPS community helping us here.
Foolish final thoughts
Academics will tell you individual investors have little chance of beating the stock market. They say the Warren Buffetts, Shelby Davises, and Peter Lynches are the exceptions to the rule. We at The Motley Fool think differently. Stock investing is not brain surgery. Finding good, undervalued companies is not as difficult as the professionals want you to think.
It is possible to make a more comfortable retirement for yourself, even if you have little money to start with or are starting late in life. It is possible to turn $100 into $1 million. You just have to commit to doing it now and doing it regularly. No amount is too small. Let's get started. There's no time to lose.

I don't see anything in the email from Steve Hamilton that would lead it to be positive...just nuetral. I don't think those guys know what positive or negative news is...I think any news they have they think is positive.
Not everything that is good for the Hamiltons is good for the shareholders. I am not sure how any 14c would be positive. Maybe they are changing their business 100%?
EOD Run from $10.12 to ???? Nice to close around $10.40-.50.
While the market is down today is an awesome buying opportunity for HOKU.
W@G close above $11.00!
support is being shown.
GO HOKU GO!
$10 target... Weak!
Honda!
"Here at Honda we strive to build a quality product as well, and diligently work the issue until the customer is satisfied. Your company (especially your Customer Service Dept. ) has exemplified this motto by going above and beyond in their efforts, and as such I will definitely continue to shop Daytona Brands products. GREAT JOB!!!"

RXRS - Someone look into?
19 Million shares IO.
$800,000 Market Cap
Some volume coming in (probably before news).
Playing it to see if it will run to $5 Million market cap. or an 6-10 bagger.
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/board.asp?board_id=9531
Anyone want to check on RXRS. Small market cap but ready for news... Buying on the incredibly small market cap and pending news.
With the Nasdaq up 2-3% in the last 2 days I am kind of surprised HOKU isn't maintaining a $9.50+ price. I think we'll go back to $11-12. Fairly soon too.
Buy volume is good before a long weekend. Usually means some news is coming.
Well, the 2 weeks will be up next week...so, looking for some news on Tuesday. Quick double/triple is possible.
Looking pretty good. Some volume coming in.
What do you think about HOKU calls right now.
Thinking some good news is on its way and I don't think Vega is correctly priced on them, just my opinion. Maybe it is. Just think the 7.50 calls are cheap. Any opinion?
Some good volume yesterday...right before a news cycle should hit. Most companies are waiting to put out news for after Labor Day... Volume before is usually a good sign.
Coming to life. Good stuff coming.
I think its going to come to life!!!
Bought 8 calls today HQF IU at $1.85-1.95
Thinking we'll see some great news at the beginning of next week.
I bought the 10k for giggles.
Those were all great things. And, a company update should be well received.
Keep selling cheap shares :)
Educated Guesses as to what the big news is?
1. New Business Revenue
2. Insurance Business (outside of homes)
3. $10 Million in Financing
4. Insurance Wrap for Loans (so they can sell off their loans)
5. ???any guesses???
Every single trade today has been a buy? Tell Hamilton to put out some news on Monday!
I wonder if the "big" news is another business unit? Looks like they ditched one of the other Directors and is why they hired someone who has a completely different background from Mortgage. Just as long as the big news doesn't contain a bunch of new shares to someone else.
It is very easy to move a $3 Million Market Cap company up. If the news is decent we could see a short squeeze just like last year (and at the same time!).
If they get $10 Million and the rates go down. Watch out this could skyrocket. As long as it isn't a convertible note this could move up fast.
Never put in an order yet. But, I might still.
