Broadway, personally I would like to see IQST structure a subsidiary IPO with stock as the principal repayment method where the IB is allotted X amount of shares to push the new subsidiary forward. This gives the IB more control over the rewards of their investment by "selling" the new IPO to Institutions which propels the price up. But then again, they could always guarantee $50 mil in stock to the IB from the existing float, and that would quickly propel the price...imagine, the existing float falls to 30-40% of OS...if they did that, they would have to structure sale points for the IB so they didn't turn and flood the market which would drop the price dramatically.
We have divisions in this company, and while together they are worth X, individually they may be worth substantially more, even though they are still part of the parent company. Maybe the IB has an interest in 1, 2 or 3 areas, but not the others, and wants to spin off a new IPO on specific ones.
Aside from that, they may also guarantee X shares to the IB as part of the deal at Y price (guaranteed). Companies do this a lot with profit sharing and bonus scenarios via stock options. this gives the IB latitude to purchase shares on the market at reduced rates.
At this point, it's anyone's guess on how they are going to structure the deal...these were some of my thoughts.
Keep in mind, I am spitballing on this...If I were that good at pre-interpretation, I would've reached out to them and told them not to say anything pre New Years Eve...lol
Crawfors, agreed. Today has been a good recovery from the profit takers. We should close out around $0.95 today if things continue. THIS is my kind of slow ascension. We need to stay off the breakout boards as those only drive the wrong type of investors. Fly upward under the radar, and move to new highs.
I think the Comm Director has learned a valuable lesson, and now we should be on our toes for the news. Tomorrow should be an exciting day if the past is any indicator.
Best to you and all longs.
Signals are moving north...only thing missing is volume
Crawfors, you must be using the IQST lingo from their FB posting...I pointed out they used the wrong word (Eminent) instead of Imminent...and someone else tried to correct my correction. lol
Anyway, yesterday and the weekend are behind us...hoping for a quality news cycle tomorrow. I keep hearing people say that the IB will qualify us for Nasdaq because of the cash infusion, but that is not correct. That is only 1 aspect of the uplist requirements.
We have to also hit the SP of $2 (90 day) maximum time, or the $4 (1 day) minimum. I am opting for the $4 1 day scenario given the volatility with daytraders and MM Algos. I have read the uplist reqt info and have not confirmed the $4 "1-day" portion for uplist. I have seen the 3 options at $2, $3, and $4, and while the info does clearly state 90 days for the $2, I would like to have someone snip out the section that clearly states the 1-day close price option.
If that is clear, then lets get there and get this to Nasdaq and burn a few daytraders and shorters good.
Anyway, can someone snip out the explicit language stating $4 1 day...
Thanks and best to all Longs!
Hoping you are right Poker...I want 5-10% gains, not meteoric. Fast rises bring in the vultures, and when they are done, they all fly away and drop the price substantially. Kind of like playing Jenga...you can pull the stick out slow and win, or fast and the whole thing topples.
C'mon 2022...You're up Leandro! Let's go!
Stock, this would constitute a "Thursday or 'before'" moment. I want to see shorters get burned as much as the next guy. Stating the obvious does not constitute "bitching" - this is a "hold accountable" moment.
Not sure how many times it needs to be stated, but we invest to win, and at times we will experience pull back, but 25% is unacceptable, regardless if if provides others here with a "stock up" moment.
I personally did not ask for a PR...I asked for a simple Tweet...something saying deal is good, or not...I can wait on details.
If you or anyone who invests considers a 25% loss because of a simple miss, acceptable, something is wrong with their strategy.
If you owned a mid/large cap company, and this happened, you would likely call for heads on a pike, and rightfully so.
I realize we are an infant company in the big scheme of things, but this was avoidable. Period.
Now, let's all regroup, and get this stock back on track. Crawfors has spoken to mgmt, and is good with their response...hence, I am good.
Best to all...but please avoid impugning the motives of frustrated investors on this board.
Thanks Crawfors...I am short on funds as of now, but told my son to buy more, and he did. I told him the same thing I have said here, but told him that eventually it will be over our last Price point. He knows this is a LT hold as well...
good or bad, with my family or Longs here, I will always be honest and work to their benefit...I suggested holding on the buy when we were at $0.83 saying that we will likely test the mid $0.70's, and we hit $0.78.
You're a seasoned investor, as is Joe, and a few others. None of are happy when opportunities are missed.
My frustration reared its ugly head...but I don't apologize for pointing out facts.
I thank you for speaking with them...now, let's turn this boat around and get back to business.
Best to you and all Longs!
Joe, I just want to see this back around the mid $0.90's with a smaller daily growth. The rips always retrace because they trigger profit-takers...if we rip, have the comm person communicate to support and hold the rise.
Let's hope for a superb Thursday event to mask the pause in communication.
Wishing I had the extra resources at this time...damn.
Best to you!
Unless something else goes awry, the charts are holding and I think we may have tested todays bottom around $0.78...
Watch your signals folks...
woofer, Leandro said they would likely close the deal before New years eve. He also said nothing is final until it is final.
He is not the only person running this company, so yes, let him run it, but for god's sake, have your Comm person issue a Tweet saying either it finalized and we will issue details, or it did not finalize and we are working out the details.
I have always stated, and still believe the fundamentals are there for this company - that has NOT changed. The MOMO BS, I hope they get burned, but at the moment, when a simple few words via a NON-PR Tweet could've affected a hold above $1 and made those cheeky daytraders bail slowly on the rise, I get a tad incensed.
I am not sure how you feel about your investments, but for the mid/large cap companies I am invested in, if they drop 25% because the Comm Director or CEO screwed up a simple message, I want them fired. I don't invest short or long term to drop 25% on stupidity.
The 30% CG they will pay is great, but does NOTHING for me, you or the other longs.
Apologies, but today I am peeved at the non-response response. I sure hope they have a monumental PR on Thursday.
Best to all longs...
Crawfors, this is a good entry point, for those who have the funds to enter and have not sold a single share (like myself). I have my funds tied up for now, and bought my last 10K shares a few weeks back. I am in hold mode at this point.
We are still above my DCA point, but for those who recently bought in, and are now considered "bag holders" because they are negative, looking at this as a good "buy in point" doesn't comfort.
I am into my year 2 on this stock...and will likely hold through year 3-4, or more if they continue to move upward. I still see this as a huge long-term stock...but, I think you have to agree though, that the IB message was botched.
Again, you likely have their ear...you might want to tug it a bit.
Agreed Joe...will likely be spiking across the board through March. Find your buy in point, and hold folks.
I realize the disappointment with the Comm Director, and maybe IQST does as well.
If one good change comes from this, it will be the replacement of that person.
Buy and Hold folks...
Zadie, I concur. If one change comes out of this, it is to fire the Comm person...if it is not a grammatically challenged PR, then it is a monumental miss like this.
There are a LOT of Longs on this, self included, and I will buy and cost-average either way when I have funds available, but a quality company like IQST needs a superb Communications Director, and we do NOT have one.
Hold and buy folks...like I said before, we are retracing today, so watch the signals and buy as it drops...get your best deal, and hold long!
Crawfors, If we had held momentum with a snippet of news, a lot of these daytraders would have bailed periodically on the vertical momentum, and we would have held the SP above $1.
This was Leandro's miss. I am not sure who is advising him, but they need to be fired. When you speak about "imminent" uplisting to Nasdaq, and you blow a simple move like this, someone needs to go. This is Publicly Listed Company 101...I am still hoping on some monumental PR listing the fruits of their work to come out, but for god's sake, say something!
Crawfors, you likely have the ear of IQST...maybe tug on it a bit.
If you were planning to buy, you might wanna hold...charts are indicating weakness...low RSI and falling into oversold territory...might test $0.80. If it dips below, it might drop further into mid $0.70's territory...
Cmon Leandro...speak up, you are giving away an opportunity, and your Market Cap is getting pummelled...
Wishing I had some more liquidity right now...these are bargain basement prices.
Grab em while you can folks!
$0.83 is what happens when you are sitting at $1 and don't communicate.
a ~17% retrace when a simple Tweet could have sustained momentum.
Aargh
Chance, yes it is quite likely the deal is done, but the PR and other legalities, etc. are holding the release up. I have stated this over and over on the FB site as an Ambassador. The bare minimum, either way, good or bad, is a Tweet saying either "Deal is completed, details to follow in the next few days" or "Deal did not meet our requirements, details to follow in the next few days"
I think we are all Big Boys and wore our Big Boy undies today...we can take it.
Not sure why they have held on the Tweet...
Anyway, Best to all Longs...hold tight folks!
Zadie, agreed. That is all I am asking. confirmation that the deal was closed, but the legal aspect is being reviewed or they are preparing the PR...something.
I know the short term players ran in for their 25%+ profit, but all that aside, when the CEO says they are planning on closing the deal by New Years eve, and then days later all you hear is crickets, that is not how you run a company.
When you are a publicly traded company, your investors are your lifeblood. You work for them in many respects. If you say you are going to do it, do it. If you are not able to do it, say so. It's a simple premise. We are all "Big Boys" here (or Big Girls)...we can take news, good or bad.
That is all I was asking.
My best to all Longs on this one...let's hope for the news today!
Coot, there is something more important then just being long or not. Investors are driven by performance and when or if they feel that opportunities are missed that does not breed confidence.
This is a great company but every great company needs investors... you can only burn people so many times before they eventually walk away for good.
Me, I am long on this one through 2023 at least. But I realize that we cannot have other investors get burned because that creates a bad reputation.
Just issue a tweet that says we have completed the deal and that details will be forthcoming in the next few days. Either that or update us that the deal was not secured.
I told Crawfors they need to issue, at a minimum, a tweet to state that they have finalized the deal, and will issue a PR that has all of the details in the next few days.
The price dropping is in direct correlation to no news. This is what some have alluded to as a missed opportunity
All he would have to do is issue a tweet that states that the deal was finalized and details will be released in the next few days.
The anticipation from just that would help to move the stock up but at this point we are seeing the slow pull back because of lack of information.
We can't afford to have missed opportunities... this is too good of a company
Crawfors, agreed. I like this neighborhood, and to think we were sitting around $0.50-$0.60 a few weeks back.
We definitely need to hear on this as Leandro has put the bug in our ears on the IB closing New Years. You either do not do that to your investors, or you come through.
I am leaning to the "coming through" part as He has kept his word on prior commitments...would've liked to see this over the weekend to prime the investor community a bit. While he has a tendency to do thursday releases, I would advise against that at this point. A leader always strikes when the iron is hot, and today we are hot, but cooling down will take place if he waits too long...
You have seen the prior comments on "wasted opportunity" from the past...this should not be allowed to fall into that category.
I am long on this and am waiting to see what 2022/2023 will hold...
Best to all longs!
Looking like another good uptick is on the way...chart is showing tightening, and while I would like the RSI to be a bit stronger, I think we are going to go over the $1 wall and hold, which will set us up for a nice upward close.
News is needed...
chance: I only have information that says that Leandro has kept his word before and has stated that the deal will close before the New Year.
If I were running this show, I would've tweeted the info Saturday night, and reiterated it on Monday morning via a finely worded PR. But I believe they may be coupling the $50-$60 mil deal with Smart Biz or some other positive aspect of the company's business to really get people popping.
either way, my best to you!
Who's amped and ready for Monday news on the $50mil...going to be epic
As much as I love seeing this over $1, I still prefer 5-10% moves vs quick spikes.
Good close at ~15% up. Monday, next week, and the 1st quarter, will be epic!
Just when you think the charts are promising, algos hit. Folks, this is a good buying op for you. I have my order in should it tap down a bit more.
The future is bright for IQST...
Best to all Longs on this one!
Amazing...tight charts, and a few sells happen and they drop it $0.05...amazing.
If the charts squeezed this any tighter, we'd have juice.
popping back over $1
Belg, for some, 10-15% in a day for profit is big...but in the grand scheme of things, it shows a true lack of understanding of this stock.
Could've been those who were holding at higher buy in points that decided 1 year was enough to wait to get their money back.
Again, short sighted.
Best to all Longs!
Belg, NOT profit takers...shortsighted investors
1 hour in, and over 1 mill shares traded. Wow...
Vgekr, it opens the door to institutional investing, and becoming part of portfolios for large investment firms. Currently, most (if not all) large institutional firms avoid OTC. Being on the Nasdaq secures the company as fully legitimate for these firms. Once we are on nasdaq, the stock will likely show its true potential and the speculative $8 we have been discussing will likely be our new reality...from there, it's anyone's guess.
This is a long hold, not a short term play.
Crawfors is right. If you come here for a quick pop, you are going to miss the entire possibility of this company.
Go to https://iqstel.com/ and read up. This is a strong company, and the Nasdaq is in our sights. Consider why you are investing in IQST. This is not your common OTC stock...IQST has moved from Pink to QB to QX in a year, with the BOD directing a Nasdaq uplisting before end of Q2.
Look at the minimum requirements for Nasdaq uplisting, and you will understand why we are here. Once on the Nasdaq, this can easily become a 10X from this level (6 months for a 10X is huge).
Do your DD, and You will see why we are all here!
Our best to all those who are new here!
ILUS update
pausing for the final wall push...
Think about this: They are parsing out to 0.0001, which means if 1 million shares were to trade, it would be only $100.
That is what you call desperation!
We still have one more trading day tomorrow, which is why I mentioned earlier today that Monday will be the start of a great new year!
