I've got plenty of clean pairs fresh out of the drier :) Not holding my breath here, but would be fun to see a monster run here.
Hmmm... 0.25 sounds like a good first target to me. :) Although I have to selfishly admit that I'm hoping to get a few more funds free to move into here before the run...
Anybody still monitor this board?
Been looking at the Tesla (TSLA) Roadster and Model S as well as the Brammo Enertia Plus ... really interested in getting some kind of electric vehicle in the next couple of years, got me looking into lithium companies as battery technology seems to be the fastest growing sector of EV, and lithium usage will skyrocket as EVs become more and more feasible and affordable.
Looks like a decent share structure, but wondering what justifies the market cap here with WLC having no revenues.
Knowing that you've been in (are still in) some BIG movers, wondered if you'd care to share what you consider to be a big move?
nope, no sarcasm here. just kidding. yeah. sarcasm...as in, people are free to post what they want about SMKY, but it does crack me up that someone's first post would say this stock is being manipulated ... the underlying conclusion is that if it's being manipulated now, and following the same trend as it has for months, that it's been manipulated the entire time, which is just sort of silly.
i'm by no means the longest of the longs, but i've been holding SMKY since the first day of last December. it's been a fun start to this ride :)
Quick glance at that chart looks to me like from April, the last 24 weeks, 18 are green weeks ...
so in the past 6 months we've closed green for the week 80% of the time, and it's not like it was on a downward trend before April, I just picked there to start counting, as we've been on an upward trend since February I do believe.
clearly this stock is being manipulated on low volume. ;)
Thanks for the link-back, I'd forgotten about that post. I wonder what the status on that is...
Glad my funds cleared yesterday and I picked up some more WNRC :)
SUGO news out, nothing incredibly substantial, but keeps hope alive that financing is still in the works and moving forward...might be a nice bounce this early afternoon.
Yeah, they do. At first I decided no biggie, I'd think about it and maybe just call in the order. Then I started hearing people having lots of problems with Zecco, so I asked ChoiceTrade, and they said the same thing Zecco folks were saying, can't trade stocks that are on the non-DTC list...although I could still trade some stocks with ChoiceTrade that others couldn't with Zecco, both using Penson ... didn't make much sense, but that was the point I decided it wasn't worth the hassle. As there's no list that I know of that I can go and check, I want to be able to find a stock and buy it or sell it if I want, not have to call it in or some other b.s., so I went with Fidelity, and if I end up not liking them, I'll try another brokerage.
Anyway, things are good now, both my orders for ISML went through this morning. I'm glad to be on board...and I'll stop talking about brokerage stuff as it irritates me when I go to read other boards and it's a bunch of side conversations that are only remotely pertinent to the stock. :)
Not anymore...still have ChoiceTrade, but opened a Fidelity account. I've heard people having lots of problems with Zecco, with CT I've only had a few - if you read my few posts here, a while back I tried to buy, didn't take the time to call it in, decided to just get a second brokerage.
Had no problems this morning...was just away from my computer at opening bell, cost me a few shares, but I think I'll be holding this for a good while, so it's ok, wasn't in for the flip.
So go figure - I tried to buy this a few weeks ago but couldn't (problems with choicetrade and certain non-DTC stocks) so upon some recommendations I opened a Fidelity account. Not quite ready to do a full transfer, and in the process of moving, I had to wait a couple weeks to be able to fund it with cash. Cash cleared this morning. Pre-market I made a short list of stocks to buy at open, including ISML. Got distracted, came back at 10:30, and of course - it's up 40%. Still gonna take a position here at the ask ... shows what a little hesitation / bad timing can cost ya. :)
Oh well, I'm on board, or will be as soon as this order executes.
Yep, lots and lots of good stuff. Every sentence in here is worthy of highlighting. :)
Woo hoo! No surprise here, as Eddie has continued to deliver on every promise he's made - ON TIME! But just like we know Christmas is coming every year, it's still exciting when it gets here! :)
This is great news obviously. Lots of good stuff here.
- WW agreement is officially in a PR.
- Launch with WW has a set date (26 September for US)
- Additional information for when WW Canada launch will commence (October)
- We'll see 1st QTR 10Q this week, and 2nd QTR next week
There are fluff PRs and smoke and mirrors CEOs, hiding behind ambiguous wording and avoiding transparency at all costs - and then there's the Eddie way of doing things.
Looking forward to a great second half of September...and beyond. :)
Very high risk investing is that which is done with no DD. we're buying the future here, supported by an incredible share structure, transparent and communicative CEO, awesome business plan, and a history thus far of delivery on EVERY promise from Eddie (CEO). Will be current on pinksheets very soon, and forward looking statements are grossly conservative. Seems to me it's much riskier for my future goals to invest in a "sure thing" that gets me a few percent per annum rather than a "high risk" company where almost all of the risk has been offset.
Just my two cents. I, and many others here, feel strongly that much of the risk here has been mitigated. I encourage you to do due diligence and see if you still feel the need to issue a strong warning to investors.
Nope, I called and left a message on the generic voicemail response. I'm in the process of moving right now, but will try again next week.
The discussion moved from talking about the SMKY chart and a cup and handle formation to bickering about TA in general. There are other boards for those discussions. We welcome open discussion that's relevant to SMKY that adds value to the discussion.
Just a friendly reminder, this board is about SMKY, not a forum for discussing the merits of TA. Unless the conversation involves discussing TA of the SMKY chart, general arguments about the validity of TA need to be taken elsewhere.
TIA
I agree 100% with your post - as many of us do here. As Eddie has said before, he always tells people (Eddie, I'm about to paraphrase quote you, but I think this is pretty accurate), "SMKY might be a penny stock, but Smoky Market isn't a penny company!"
Definitely a breath of fresh air, both the company/CEO and the stock board IMO. Have another stock that for 6 months has been touting, "THE penny stock of 2011!" and not surprisingly, I'm still red...go figure...I think we have THE stock of 2011, and not just because of the run thus far, and not even because of the expecting rise of the PPS throughout the remainder of 2011, but really because of what is going to happen in 2012 and 2013 and beyond!
Been busy ... pretty quiet on the board after this morning, but just noticed we closed green today, a bit of a surprise, I thought we might have a slight pullback on low volume. Oh well, I suppose I'll cope. :)
Also remember that many people have been burned, or watched others get burned, or are used to ridiculous boards where everyone has an agenda and there's no transparency, or whatever the case may be - just a reminder as Six pointed out, there is something to be gained from discussion, and laying out the info to help others make their own decisions.
First of all, welcome aboard.
Clearly math has been done. Yes, you're correct, there is no way to know the future for sure, except to make it the present and then the past.
However, there is quite a bit of math that's been done, using relatively conservative values for the P/E ratios, profit margin per oven, time-frame needed to roll out Eddie's plan, etc.
And yes, naturally, expansion requires more ovens, and there again using a conservative profit margin from annual revenue per oven - and of course nobody here thinks fish sells itself, but assuming you've done your DD, you'll know that there are so many layers of expansion planned, and so many separate distribution channels that are in place and are being worked: to include much of the advertising that you would like to see...but how do you propose to pay for that without massive dilution? By some very creative financing designed to retain shareholder value, become operational, create revenue, and roll out phase after phase.
I've never seen a TO DA MOON post on this board, and I'm not sure what you classify as that "type" but strangely enough I can't remember a single post talking about any kind of overnight explosions, or any of the other typical momo posts - this stock can (and has shown that it will) show huge gains in short periods, due in large part to the tiny trading float, so I'm not sure what hype you're referring to.
And seeing as none of us sell the product, I can only assume that you're speaking to Eddie about selling more fish and less stock - and if you think Eddie needs to change something or that this math is far off, I suggest you give him a call and see if upon conclusion that you still think you have some stellar recommendations that he should implement in order to make this "legit."
For me personally, I am glad you're on board - and think you will be too. But, anybody that jumps ship because of one or two projections (that are based on very real math and are very possible) without doing the full DD and realizing the opportunity at this moment...well, it's not really that much of a loss in my book.
Again - welcome. Since we've seen the math, I'm eagerly awaiting your math to show us your price calculations, as surely you wouldn't invest in something with no idea of where you think it should/will be fairly valued in the future...
I emailed a friend today about SMKY (fellow SMKY investor), ...and said something like this:
"I've come to realize that victory does indeed go to the bold. Although, not just the bold, but also to the slightly bold, and heck, even the hesitant, indecisive, but eventual bold."
Case in point - I was red in SMKY for about 4 months when I first bought last December at .03, even averaging down, but when we came off .01 and started climbing late winter/early spring, I started telling the few friends I share stock tips with - BUY SMKY! No takers.
Then the oven lease fund offering came out, where were we, around .05 or .06 I think, and I told guys - BUY SMKY! No takers. "Dude you're up like 500% already, I missed the run." *sad, pouty faces*
Then Eddie gave us a timeline for real events, financials, website, WW launch, Canada affiliate, etc...and I told guys to BUY SMKY! I finally convinced one friend to buy an oven unit, but was once again told by others "I missed the run."
And here we are again, CEO continues to deliver, we moved up big this week, about 55% from where we were consolidating in the .29 - .30 range.
So here we are today, highest close this year I'm pretty sure, and a lot of folks feel like they've missed the run, or new folks take a look and might think it's too risky, it's run too big, it must be about to reverse and plummet.
I congratulate the bold, as we will all be victorious here, even those that may not have been so fortunate to buy at the very bottom...we have LONG way to go up. And if you're one of the slightly bold, or hesitant bold - I encourage you to become boldly decisive as victory (WEALTH) is yours for the taking!
And once again - glad that we have, in my sometimes humble opinion, the most positive, mature, enjoyable board on iHub ... at least in my experience.
Yeah...well, I've been waiting a bit to get in here ... got in yesterday and more today, and will keep adding. I know some of you may have loaded up in the 003s or wherever your cost basis is, but it's good to know that you're thinking about averaging UP! :) Means that you're highly confident the PPS is gonna head up from these levels.
I'm confident too ... sometimes it's just a matter of when, not if, and although sooner is obviously better, I've learned to be pretty darn patient.
Oh right. Well, I'm quitting my job and that will affect my ability to buy ICTY shares. Interested in all the details?
this looks to be a good opportunity to sit on the bid and slowly add as there's zero buying pressure here.
I vote for this board to be renamed the "taken over by Zecco" board as 75+% of the last 15 or so posts have been about Zecco/Fidelity/DTC list/share-account transfer ... I keep seeing new posts and thinking that I might possibly read something related to ICTY...oh well.
I wonder if this is going to keep slowly dropping on relatively low volume. I suppose I'll just keep quietly building my position if it does, averaging down as we go. I have no trouble being patient for a run...
Oh that's great! A good friend of mine is doing that also, enjoy!
I know!! We need to get up to .89 so CharlesD doesn't feel so alone in his purchase there. :)
Relatively minor for sure. Just want to make sure any potential newbies saw that we climbed all the way back to .40 today. :)
I wonder why the Smoky Market corporate website under investor relations shows that the stock closed at .38 today ... and also listed .38 as the HOD, when we closed at .40 ??
Oh, I see, the "snapshot" was taken as of 3:08 PM ET, but doesn't make sense why the site wouldn't continue to update either constantly or at least until market close.
If you take the time to go back through all the old posts, there are definitely posts from people showing what it arrived in (styrofoam container with dry ice), the packaging, and the actual food. Can't point you to exact posts, but they're on the board ... as people have been trying the food the whole time I've been in this stock (close to 10 months now).
I'm sure folks will be posting newer pictures as they receive their orders so the newer potential investors can see with their own eyes.
I wonder if there will be an effort to market Halal food along with the Kosher - there is a substantial Muslim population in the U.S. and it can be rather hard to find Halal products.
Just a thought...
Ahhh...I stand corrected. :)
And thanks to CharlesD for explaining the timeline for stop sign removal - again, based on information from Eddie directly or through other major shareholders, financials could be filed at any time, which is still within the time-frame given by Eddie (second half of August), and keeps us on tracking for commencing sales of preferred shares by the start of September.
Of course, there may always be slight delays (as with the website), but they will be just that ... slight ... as in a few days, not months.
Hope to see you come on board here. :)
I very well may be wrong. :)
However, even if that is the case, Eddie is not known for stating deadlines and not making them...and so if I'm wrong, then I would still expect things to be in place by the end of this month, as that is what Eddie has stated will happen, and we have not heard any word to the contrary, and he IS known for keeping shareholders very much in the loop.
So either way, now's the time to get more shares at this price! :)
Oh, well your use of the word "everything" to mean only selling preferred shares threw me off...but that being the case, I have to disagree with you.
From Eddie, post 4406:
By the end of August, SMKY will have i) got current on all filings, ii) launched its new branded website, iii) commenced to generate intial sales from basic social networking, and iv) began to sell its Preferred Stock offering to raise primary financing. WW requires a huge inventory and it takes capital and some time to build it; just a .5% response to our first month's ads in their website could generate 30,000 orders ($1.2 million)... and that's not including WW of Canada or the other affiliate sites we're planning to promote with. We must be well prepared.
The Preferred Stock offering is structured in the very same manner, but pays considerably less conversion return because it’s “post-revenue” financing; SMKY is generating revenue and not just revenue, sales from national franchise brands like WW and other large affiliates. It’s expansion financing, but still offering to investors a very attractive 3x to 5x conversion return IN THREE YEARS. The rate of return SMKY offers is a function of when the trigger is pulled to begin selling the Preferred offering, which position is determined effectively by how quickly now the Fund’s Unit offering can be sold out. We continue to sell the Units at this faster pace, we control our financing destiny and that means NO shares from financing come into the market for three years.
I don't know what you mean by "everything," but although I will agree with you that becoming current and removing the stop sign is important - and necessary to bring in certain types of investors down the road, and eventually required before any kind of uplisting, etc., etc., I would by no means say that everything depends on that.
The opening of the website and commencing online sales has nothing to do with the pink sheets status. Neither does launching with WW or finalizing and announcing our Canadian affiliate and the ensuing launch with WW Canada as well as other already in place Canadian, Asian, and European distribution channels.
There are going to be revenues, potentially serious revenues pouring in, those wheels are in motion, and are contingent on having a "current" status with no stop sign.
I did not...I'm going to try tomorrow, I got caught up with work stuff. I DO want to speak to Scott, and relatively soon, however, I don't think anything major is going to happen in the immediate future so it didn't take priority today. Thanks for the number though, I will talk to him soon, hopefully tomorrow, and I'll be sure to update the board, even if it's only to verify exactly the same info that you provided.
Cheers! And here's to hoping that sometime this fall/winter something miraculous like a R/M goes through and this stock that many of us have been holding for many months now watching it go deeper and deeper red goes on a scorching run.
Might have to try. Never happened to me with ChoiceTrade before...I'm thinking about moving some funds to other brokerages, like Fidelity, where I can transfer funds and call in orders the same day...that's my biggest hangup with CT.
Anyway, finally had some funds free to get a starter position here and can't place a dang order...will try tomorrow, as I got hung up at work today.
ChoiceTrade wouldn't let me put in an order for ISML ... anybody else have that problem? This is the first stock I've ever had this problem with CC... :(
Not doubting your information at all - but wondered if you could be so helpful as to provide the contact information for Scott, I'm interested in talking to him myself, and would be willing to verify and/or add any information that I receive.
Thanks in advance...
