Dave - Thank you so much!! You folks on I-Hub are great.
HELP PLEASE!! Last night the battery on my wireless mouse died, so I started using the touch pad on my Toshiba L6567 laptop to move my cursor around to read I-Hub posts. I do not know what I did, but the text and images kept getting larger and larger. Now I have to scroll down to almost every post to read the poster's text. It must be something on the I-Hub site that I accidentally touched because the text size on the other sites I use is still normal. Thanks for any info you can provide.
BE Careful about taping phone calls in CA. Valvano's tel number is in Orange County. CA prohibits secretly taping a phone call with another person. Seems many other states might have this kind of prohibition as well. GL
Ralphie11; from your post
"If a current or potential new customer sees that ATRN treats shareholders poorly, it may be an indication of how the customer or potential new customer may be treated."
What is your opinion of how ATRN treated its shareholders when they were on NASDAQ? Or do those shareholders not count? It is the Dr. Jekyll/MR. Hyde nature of the management of this company that is causing all the anxiety here. We all want to believe that they will treat us differently. There have been a number of posters here who have postulated that that all the "tree shaking" is being purposefully done to get rid of us "weak hands" and "pennychasers" etc. and I think that they are correct. Maybe ATRN has the kind of customers that admire this type of behavior.
I have dry powder, but I also have rule to never put more than 10% of my IRA into any one stock. Luckily, my green numbers from SND* are more than making up for the red numbers showing from ATRN. When I consider all the great DD done by some fantastic detectives on this board, I have decided to stick with ATRN - whether to glory or to grief. Good luck to all.
Thank you to yourself and Whopperman for replying to question.
Great board here.
Whoppeman: Is it true that important filings are released either before or after trading hours, but that PRs can be put out at any time? Thanks.
Great summary GEO, and honest with the inclusion of "Red Flags". Hope your efforts pay off for all of us.
My accounts are all "Margin" accounts - not because I want to use margin, but because I do not have to wait 3 days ("cash" account requirement) for funds to clear from a sale so that they can be used for the next purchase.
When I talked to Interactive Brokers about this issue, they told me that even though I have a margin account, they cannot lend the ATRN shares in my account for shorting UNLESS I AM ACTUALLY USING MARGIN.
If I do not use margin myself, my shares will not be lent out. I do not know if this is just I.B.'s policy or whether this is a standard practice in the industry. Good luck and GO ATRN.
It appears to me that obtaining a CE mark takes a whole different kind of talent than inventing and producing a medical device. From what I read ref: http://www.lne-america.com/certification-testing/certification/ce-marking/5-key-stages-to-ce-marking.html, many medical product companies hire a consulting firm to guide them through the maze of European/Canadian/elsewhere regulations and procedures that are required. Must be something similar to what goes on here when a company decides to get a facility ISO certified.
The point is, though SNDY is on the right track, patience will still be required. Any skyrocketing based on this news alone will probably be short-lived.
Opened a tiny starter position this AM even though my system shows XCO is temporarily overbought. Expect to load up on next pullback.
Encouraged that XCO finally penetrated the 50 day SMA, so that should turn up soon if we get a follow thru of higher highs and higher lows.
Nice board here. GL
According to my broker (Interactive Brokers), my shares cannot be loaned out for shorting unless I have a margin account AND AM USING MARGIN myself. As long as I don't use margin myself, they cannot lend my shares to short sellers. I do not know if this is a common policy of all brokers, or just I.B.
I've be reading this board for about a month now, and am long 500K of SNDY. Will wait for news before I add more, even if it means paying a higher price. Thanks for all the DD of the contributors.
GLTA.
Any idea what caused the big drop today?
My I.B. Trader Work Station shows exactly what you are seeing. It's just a dream though. ThinkOrSwim on my AMTD screen Time & Sales shows volume @ $0.0159 was only 314 shares = $4.99. Well I for one got to feel good, if only for a few seconds. Thanks, whoever spent that 5 bucks!
Enterprising Investor: Congratulations. Your deep DD and patience payed off. Needless to say, a TA person like myself was not along to enjoy the party, but I will be looking in on your posts more often in the future. GL
I do not understand how the "CHILL LIST" business works. In my accounts at AMTD and Interactive Brokers (Both IRA's) I have not been able make new buys of MMTC for the last month or so. But I have been able to buy MMTC at OptionsXpress (non IRA account) with no problem during the so called CHILL period. GLTA
Interactive Brokers will also not allow me to purchase any more MMTC, but thankfully they did allow me to sell a bunch in January.
They are even more picky about DTC than AMTD. No doubt that has probably saved me a lot of pain and $, so I'm not complaining. Just have 200K MMTC left in case Brennan pulls a miracle out of his hat.
Coates International, Ltd. Announced Today That the Company is in Negotiations of a Strategic Alliance With a Private Funding...
OX will let you trade some pennies that TDAM will not, from my experience. Since they have been taken over by Schwab, commissions are quite a bit lower as well. Good Luck.
P.S. One thing - when you look at your positions and equity etc., they only show data to three decimals = $x.xxx, so for sub-pennies it might not be ideal. When you place an order they will also only accept to three decimal places.
I agree with Traderfan on this issue. I sold off 1/2 of my SIOR position in the low 0.02s when the price broke thru the ascending channel line on the chart. I will not buy any more unless there is solid news or a filing to bring SIOR up to date in OTCMarkets.com which currently has a WARNING on this stock. As for putting faith into "oil man" Dan Lloyd, I had my fill of that in BRZL (now and empty shell at 0.0004) and all the hype that was spun around supposed oil man Jim Renfro. I'm hopefull about SIOR, but it is dead money until Mr. Lloyd decides it is time for action. The 1/2 I took out of SIOR is doing nicely elsewhere, thank you. I will be happy to switch back to SIOR as soon as the some solid action is taken to start drilling. Of course this means that on the "to the moon" day my modest position will not enable me to retire immediately, but that is OK. GL
Longinvest: Oklahoma/Kansas may be easier, but let me tell you about my experience with very reputable a wildcat driller I partnered with for 1 of 3 gas wells in the hill country of West Virginia.
1. Nearly a month to cut trees, grade, and put a road it to the site. 2. Two more weeks to get the drilling pads ready. 3. Then winter rains and snow made it impossible to get the drill rig on site for nearly another month. 4. Three weeks to drill each well once the rig was set up. 5. After each well was drilled it took another 2 weeks for logging and "stimulation" = minimal fracking.
6. The one well of the 3 that I was partnered in had 595PSI at the wellhead which is supposed to be be pretty good. 7. But wait, now that the well looks good, a pipeline has to run to it, which in my case was slightly more than a mile long. This took about another 2 months due to bad weather an uncooperative landowners who would not sell easements along the shortest route to collector pipeline. 8. Finally after the pipeline was connected, we had to wait for the gas company to install and calibrate the meter which would count the cu ft of gas coming from the well. This took another 6 weeks.
P.S. Since there is some oil produced from the well, they also had to set up the equipement for separating the crude from the gas and put in a storage tank to collect it. This delayed final production by about another 3 weeks.
I hope the process is a lot less cumbersome in the Mississippi Lime than in the hill country of West Virginia. Good luck to us all.
So it looks like dapper Dan decided use some shares to pay a for a pump instead putting his efforts into bringing the SEC filings up to date. This is starting to smell. Months ago people were posting that "SIOR is not your "ordinary PINK", it is a real company with real assets.....etc". The scenario you just described puts SIOR back into the ordinary PINK category.
Hello Kevone: On the TraderWorkStation of my Interactive Brokers platform, I can see reporting status of all the stocks that I hold. There are "PINK Current", "PINK Limited", and "PINK No Info". You can probably figure out which is the best and which is the worst. Well, SIOR is "PINK No Info".
My apologies. Smittygoodcall's post #14920 reminded me to look at OTC Mkts.com. When I previously tried to look at it on my old Windows XP, anything that I had to "download" would just get lost in my computer and I could not find it, so I gave up. Just got a new Windows 7 last week and tried OTC mkts.com this AM per smitty's post and "download"s worked fine. GO SNDY.
Thanks for the info. 3 mos ending Sept. 2011 shows a profit. I've bookmarked that site.
Just look at the Intro Box. If it needs to be updated, then the mods should take care of that.
GM Tech: what good does having all those FDA registered devices if they can't make any money? Why have there been no quarterly reports filed since March 31, 2011 which showed a loss of $509K? (at least that is the last one show in the IBox). If you have more current info on 2011 Q2 and Q3 results, I would appreciate your posting a link. Thanks. I'm long SNDY but suspicious of PINKs.
Please let the rest of us know what is the "Document" had to be approved by the state of California that so germane to the success of M.I.T. and MMTC?
I sold 1.5M of my shares in the low 0.005's a couple of weeks ago. That's why I have no need to sell now. Have only 250K left which is an amount I can afford to lose if this goes to 0.000s. If the big surprise announcement comes out and MMTC "goes to the moon" I have my little stake and will be happy to add later. But I do not have "faith", only skepticism after what has transpired with the stock and on this board over the last two months. Good luck to all. You'll really need it.
Do you know what the record date of ownership of CMGO is in order to get the spin-off shares of Audio Eye? Thanks
Hi Beachcomber: sorry, but I do not have PM. Yes, I live a few blocks up from the beach near the High School. Good luck to you.
PaulWall; can you recommend a book, CD, website, or other source of
info on how to use L2? Thanks and GLTA. I've been in since 0.03 and adding every week. Hope to stick with ATRN long term to make up for all the mistakes I've made with other stocks in the past.
geoP; Do we have any information on when the original leases were started? I assume that the 5 year extension on the leases will require a cash payment to owner(s) of the land. I believe that the situation for the options is similar. They must be periodically renewed, which requires more cash. If the company is diluting to obtain funds for this purpose, it would not bother me one bit. Any info you have on the due dates of the the above events would be appreciated.
I promise to be quiet as well.
I feel the same as you do G-G, but I am going with the "story" that this selling is by the impatient heirs of one of the deceased insiders. Guess the lesson learned here is don't leave stock to your kids! Just hope that SOIR gets to 0.05 before they put me in an oxygen tent. Good luck.
Just got back from taking my grandson to school.
I hit the "BUY" button for the 50K at 10:07:29.
My trade log at I.B. shows the trade took place at 10:09:05.
That is 1 minute & 34 seconds. Really slow considering I was probably the only one in line at that price at the time.
Pinks will be pinks I guess.
My Trader Work Sta. showing ASK 50 = only 5,000 shares right?
I'm gonna take those out.
All the bid/ask info for SIOR and a few other PINKS just dropped off my Interactive Brkrs Trader WOrk Station. Only "last" showing. Any other folks experiencing this on their platforms?
