dh_ with the perfect sentiment, as usual. I too kept buying even with all the red flags, and I ALMOST sold it all when they pump faked the dilution at .10. I actually had a sell order in for over half of my position that I'm so thankful never got filled. When management abruptly decided to take a different route, when they obviously could have used the money, was when they won me over for good. That's when they actually went long on themselves.
It's easy to forget how newer investors feel now as some of us are sitting pretty. The Pink Sheets is an unruly ghetto from which most never escape, even some that are quite deserving. I myself got pretty rattled when it was clear we weren't going to just rocket out of here in the spring like the previous trends suggested. It's that hard, and it really stings to miss a chance like that. Some stocks really do only get one shot.
I've tried to empathize, while also putting my money where my mouth is during our recent volatility.
IQST is absolutely still a buy anywhere under 2$. For all the reasons you've mentioned. For the value investor, the growth investor, the flipper, the castle-builders, for the level-headed, and for the dreamers...even the damned bears are getting fat off this one.
Everyone will continue to be fed, you just have to keep your seat at the table.
Some very large brokers, like Fidelity, won't allow you to place market orders on securities under 1.00$. This allows MMs on our stock to better control the order flow. MMs make money on the bid/ask spread. They know they can't protect the ask at these 1.00+ levels,so they pin it between 0.995 and 0.9999. Then execute the ask slaps at 0.9975 to better protect the ask.
They are REALLY nickel and dimeing at this point, and probably even losing money and shares to people like us. You better believe there's a damn good reason for this.
Another nuance they've constantly done these last two weeks is to float a x100 ask at various prices to bait you. It used to be algos just testing the buying sentiment at that time to decide if they should raid. I used to be able to quickly push through these low asks to gain momentum during the super low volume hours middday... but they're hip to my games. They will hold my ask slap order for over FIVE damn minutes sometimes until they can build back their walls. I'll watch level 2 and, of course, the exact moment they've finished repositioning my order will execute.
A few members here have been a real thorn in their side for a while now. I'm honored that they have to teach the algo new tricks and/or just completely cheat to respond to some of our resolve and attention.
Thank you for this test, peterpan. I have been feeling like this was happening all week with my bids but couldn't be certain as they weren't quite as large and I never caught a moment like you did. Did you take screenshots? We might could forward real evidence like this to the SEC, but I don't they'd even care.
Regardless, the books are being cooked HARD. I hope they are just letting the proposed investment bankers in line first, but it's really troubling just how much interest has been taken in pinning this down recently.
3/26 800c is selling for 300$ right now, just saying. Don't sell them, collect tons of juice premium on your way out.
Boy, you better be selling weeklies on some of that TSLA position! That alone could finance your IQST conquest.
I've still got my original 170 TSLA shares from two years ago that I will never let go of. That %gain in the corner of my portfolio makes me smile even on the reddest of days. That is worth more than any amount of money, lol.
Lmao I see you boys out here scooping today. Anytime we start pressuring the ask they have to immediately start pulling back on those huge sell walls.
"It's those damn castle guys! We can't let THEM have any more cause we'll never get them back!"
If they keep letting us accumulate like this, pretty soon this board will be able to name our own damn price of the stock! Stay strong!
It's really disheartening to see major market correction, and all the bears come out of hibernation, right at the peak of our momentum. It will be hard to top our recent flurry of great news.
As others have said, the numbers from these said endevours will come eventually and there's no way we don't keep exponentially growing capital throughout the year. Others will be later to this party than us, but what else is new?
This sets our timeline for uplisting back considerably, I fear compared to last month. MMs and big fish with algos can't keep it down forever, but trust me they can keep it down for a lonnnng time. They're problem is they have run into some investors like us that are willing to go the distance, and eventually become whales ourselves!
Investment bankers have many roles in the markets, but I believe IQST is focused mainly on their role as financial advisors to large institutional investors. We will also enjoy the side-benefit of lots of research, by people with infinite resources, which of course goes into the process of advising their clients. I suspect they will find a ton of value here as we've all been staring right at it for some time in our pajamas from home.
They've been talking to banks for a while now, and I assume they've gotten excited enough to start setting dates and making public statements because they're close to securing a large one.
The larger the better, ideally with connections all over the globe and pockets deeper than the ocean. Imagine if we land a whale such as JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Citigroup, Bank of America, Credit Suisse etc. Imagine they are issuing an incredible deep and positive prospectus to millions of people who each throw around millions of dollars for fun.
IQSTEL supplements their own research division with this information as well. They will gain insights into their company that even the CEO might be oblivious to. They will receive guidance on how to give guidance. This alone will help cash flow even if no one invests.
This is exactly what we've been demanding for months. Better marketing to the investor community on a massive scale. This is exactly what legit companies do as they approach their nearly realized goal of uplisting.
They mentioned in the press briefing that they can also help facilitate future mergers and acquisitions, which we know will help fuel our management's unquenchable aspiration to expand their portfolio. They will be even MORE confident and aggressive the the backing of the right investment bank.
Boring and routine news on the surface. Solid, with a side potential for FANTASTIC under the hood.
To me the news is more about execution and confidence. They know they're recent deals and revenue streams will be enough. This partnership timeline lines up with the their next filing well. They must see this filing as stellar and the last push we need.
Sure, it doesn't give all the details we want, but the message from management is clear. "We're confident this will happen soon, and we'll be ready as it develops"
Take a break from watching the ticker daily. It's clear the vampires have sunk their fangs deep into this one. This is good news, but only if you're truly long! They have been trying to shake out every last share they can. We have a large chunk of the float locked up right and they want it back.
Watching the chart daily at this juncture will pay right into their hands. It's not any stock manipulation as much as it is emotional manipulation. It can be very subtle, it can sneak up on you, and none of us are immune.
We win if we can hold for a year or more. It's as simple as that. In the meantime, relax. Maybe pick out the right banners and gauntlets to display in your castle. Don't let them stress you the hell out like they have been doing me!
Welp, I was panicking last week thinking we'd likely be under a dollar again at this rate. Now that we're here, I'm just calmly transferring more cash to the brokerage account.
What are they thinking beating the price this low so quickly? Dangerous game, as many big fish could pile in at this golden price and rug pull you from underneath your own rug pull!

Here a good article detailing the recent demand for mobile number portability, and why it's taking off. It's really amazing that IQST made this play, at this time, and shows their skill and agility to navigate even ridiculous and unexpected global events like Covid-19. A lot of business and consumer habits have changed permanently because of this, and I believe mobile number portability is certainly one of these.
IMO, them using a blockchain format to streamline this into a near instant process, while also providing a much needed blanket of security is brilliant. You can quickly, seamlessly, and securely switch providers to whomever is providing you the best coverage at your current time and location. This is amazing for people working from home, workers in the field who are constantly on the move, immigrants who travel for work, and residential users all over the world who are in underserviced rural areas. This will also heat up competition all over the telecom sector.
I feel like the initial estimate market size of 260 million annually is WAY too conservative. With IQST's blockchain innovation, this option finally has the ease of use and security to scale to the entire world.
moneyman, I've been the same way. I've always marketed this as a LONG play. A year+ for some big gains. You can't expect to play volatile pennies short term and consistently come out ahead. (UNLESS YOU'RE CONSTANTLY SHORT-RAIDING ACTUAL GOOD COMPANIES WITH LOW VOLUME DURING THEIR MOMENTUM GRRRR)
The thesis is constantly changing because this company and team seems really well positioned and have unique a talent in diversifying into the right sectors while simultaneously synergizing it all into their entire growing infrastructure. The potential is near limitless here. They also deeply care about shareholder value, and greatly respect us early investors especially.
Who can guess where we'll be in a year or two? But I know that I'll still be here talking about it with whoever is still around to listen!
Whoops, double-posted. ENJOY YOUR MONEY FOR NOW, SHORTS, YOU'RE PLAYING WITH FIRE HERE!
Well, I assumed we'd be testing the 1.00 mark again this week. Didn't expect it today! Feel bad for a lot of the stockwit investors we recruited that probably got in at the 1.70-2.00$ range and sold today for a loss. There was a lot of organic selling today, and we likely won't ever get a lot of those people back. Having such volatile swings on the chart lately is also going to scare off more potential longs, especially in this market.
However, management is still executing so well! These subsidiary companies are taking off MUCH faster than I had originally expected. The blockchain mobile transfer slice will be tasty. We already have our foot in the door to Chinese markets - which by itself is a huge accomplishment and opportunity - so this could be yet another goldmine technology they are leading the way in. I need to research it more.
I bought quite a bit more today, despite all of my recent crying about our uplisting prospects. Our growth is too rapid and stable, we're continually capitalizing in so many relevant fields, and our management is too damn good!
HANG IN THERE, BOYS!
BIG RDC ON THE BOARD PREMARKET IS MOST RELIABLE INDICATOR OF A GREEN DAY!
I know we're good here, and I won't be selling a single share for years to come. I know that my frustrations are exactly the kind of emotion that MMs are trying to induce in us longs. I've been buying/holding since 0.07. I won't be fooled.
We've just come SO FAR, and now we are RIGHT HERE on the cusp of meeting all of the qualifications to finally uplist out of the ghetto. And now it seems we're going to stall out here for quite some time. I don't want us to fall so far that good news only brings us back up to the 1.80s, and we get stuck in this cycle for God knows how long. I've seen it happen with other good stocks.
Thanks for the encouragement, men. Sorry to get so anxious, but this is the most important moment in the stock's history. At the end of the day, I trust management to see us through to the other side.
We won't make any moves with such puny volumes. It's too easy for shorters to knock the price down at will. It's too easy for MMs to set up aggressive algorithms to chip away at the price all day long. They've been making free money and sucking up cheap shares for far too long!
We shouldn't need further news to get this volume; all of the current information we have is more than enough to show IQST is an incredible opportunity right now. We need marketing and to raise awareness. I'm spreading the word as much as I possibly can and I suggest everyone here do the same. We somehow are STILL under the radar, and hopefully won't have to continue in these pink-sheet games for much longer.
Don't forget to save up some money to buy leaps. After we uplist, those first call options written will be so cheap and tasty!
We close the week on almost the exact spot that we opened it. What a ride! Yeah, it's lame that a broad market correction is coinciding with our huge momentum, but it's also a blessing and opportunity to recalibrate your portfolio with more IQST in it!
You see how fast these short attack dips are gobbled up now? Even with zero volume leading up to it. Algos are set up to protect our precious IQST. Institutions are going long and shorts will soon be searching for a new momentum stock to bully. Perhaps their greed will have them searching for a cardboard box to live in!
My recent liquidations of other stocks to buy more IQST has inadvertently help me sell the top in a ton of risky positions that I had big gains in. This alone has lowered my cost basis of IQST to -10,000$. lmao, never thought I'd think of a pink sheet as a safe haven.
Slow and steady volume increases to compliment the slow and steady uptrend. This correlation is a strong indicator that we have MUCH further to go. But we all already knew that without all of the bullish signals. It's amazing to watch the market price all of our convictions in, especially in A VERY healthy manner like this. Been averaging up all month, and I will most likely continue to even though I never do that sort of thing. Congratulations, boys!
peterpanwasjustthere, I'm so glad that someone else is constantly watching the books as I have been for quite some time now. You're exactly right in your observations, and as I said I've caught on to this happening since mid January. I consider this analysis way more important than chart analysis in these young companies during times of momentum. You get to see when big fish start coming in, and we've gotten some very large ones on board now.
Institutions spending these types of resources on our beloved IQST book means they are trying to stabilize the price, and accumulate shares for themselves. While it's indeed frustrating in the short term, it's great in the long term. Once our volume increases substantially, and it will very soon, the salivating shorts will stop showing up every day. I don't mind them anymore because I know these same institutions also won't let the price go too low, and will help everyone buy up these dips fairly quickly.
It's been like this for at least a month now. Huge buy walls going up, algos/employees instantly replacing any time it gets chunked, and shorts pouncing on the opportunity of an easy flip. We've broken up hard even despite this ongoing trend, which is the best news of all. Eventually there won't be enough easy shares available for the shenanigans, and shorts won't be as confident that they can flip before being completely burned.
He's going to go back to base and be like "uhhhh, I don't think we're getting those guys to sell even one share. There's some well researched, Mario Brothers castle stuff going on"
Sorry for reacting in poor taste earlier, mods, but constantly seeing this illegal FUD spamming running rampant now'a days gets my blood boiling. As if they don't already stack the deck, control the narrative and the books, while giving us meager tools to fight back with.
Let us celebrate the ones we find first in peace.
I am exhausted from doing battle today. Eyes glued to the chart and the order book all day long. Slapped ask hard at 1.00. Then at SEVERAL other times I felt I could help build momentum. Helping set up new buy walls as we reached higher. I know that I'm a small fish, but I'd like to think that this little community has so many shares locked up that we can actually make meaningful plays like this. I've kept a warchest to the side for this very moment. I could have loaded it at .80 for a more selfish/smart play. But there are castles on the line here!
SOOOOO much buying pressure came through that even the MMs were like "can't keep the lid on this forever" We still have several catalysts ahead, and the NASDAQ listing is all but certain this year.
TO GLORY
I'm so excited for this IoT Smart Gas platform. It's easy to see why this won the award, it's absolutely brilliant and is going to change the world.
While the rollout is being marketed mainly as a natural gas service, the potential applications are limitless. Their own website succinctly describes the capabilities.
GPS Tracking Location.
AI data analysis for marketing and equipment performance.
2-years Battery Life.
Suitable for any gas or liquid, at any temperature.
This means you can remotely monitor, streamline, and maximize your product inventory/needs without ever even having a human involved (especially important now in our COVID world). You'll never run out, and ideally never have to waste. Almost every company in the world (and plenty of the general population) has a dire need for this type of technology. I've been trying to research and guess at which Fortune 500 company has decided to test this out. I can't even guess, it could be any of them. Eventually it will be ALL of them.
ANY gas and ANY liquid at ANY temperature?! This is an incredibly bold claim and they just state plainly as a low-tier bullet point. I'm confident it is as good as they believe it is.
Healthcare, government, energy, retail, and research sectors all need this technology RIGHT NOW. Looking forward, it will be almost mandatory as we approach big elephants in the room such as autonomous vehicles, robotic workforce, and CO2 capture/reduction.
I can't even imagine the revolution they've created here with just one product, in one subsidiary. Management has proven yet again that they have an incredible talent for choosing the right plays, and have their fingers on the pulse of the needs of our current and future world.
Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
What a week! We're on our way!
The euphoria of breaking a dollar followed by the humbling reminder that we are still trading in the pink sheets with the vultures and manipulators. I trust management to finally get us out of the ghetto.
So much fantastic news lately, with a seemingly infinite number of catalysts on the horizon. Can't wait to see revenues and the milestone we've reached in the up-list hustle.
Sleep easy, boys, knowing that you've made one of the best investment decisions of your life.
Lmao, ~300k share buy wall at .75. Gonna bounce HARD off of that everytime. Shorts shitting themselves looking at that.
BIG RDC IN THE HOUSE! You know it's gonna be a green day now!
I feel like the news is coming early today. They've hyped this particular release a lot, even though they've had a TON of great news recently that they never really hyped. It's gotta be big, and I'm very excited!
Thank you for this site, Crawfors. And for all of your other contributions to this great community. I have been searching for a resource like this all month and don't know how I missed this gem!
It became clear after we hit 30 that shorts were piling in periodically. That's always going to be an issue and longs like us are their kryptonite. So hold, buy dips, don't worry, and laugh at penny flippers who don't do real DD.
I think it's starting to become clear that MMs and algos have taken a large interest in $IQST. Every time I'd slap the ask, it would INSTANTLY get replaced by double the amount of shares I bought. Every time I floated a larger bid, it would get partially filled and then INSTANTLY a marginally higher bid would go into place. I feel like they aren't necessarily trying to drive the price down, just prevent people from getting too many shares too quickly. Sure, this spooks the people who just get in on hype, but we know better.
IMO, after watching the books for the last few days, I think they are trying to keep the lid on this thing a while longer, and are deploying a lot of resources to do so. If true, that is fantastic news for us. I even appreciate the kind of stability this grants, and the confidence they have in this stock.
I guess it's finally time to stop lurking and help everyone celebrate! I got 10k shares at 0.07 another 30k at 0.30, and I've liquidated other positions this week in preparation for the coming battles. I'll be on the front lines helping break down some of these enormous ask walls! Congratulations to the longs. We're still insanely undervalued and all of your patience and research will be handsomely rewarded!
