Hi DontStopMeNow. Thanks - but I understand all that. What kills me is how these turn in a split second - especially when a stock is running or crashing..... If anyone sold when it pulled back a tiny bit about 9:45 when it went from 1.47 to 1.44 thinking a big drop was coming, they wouldn't be happy now.
We were JUST 3 @ 1.49 x 6 @ 1.50, the a second only 1 on bid at 1.49, and 5 seconds later, back to 3 on bid. NOw - 20 seconds later it down to 5 on bid at 1.48 and almost instantly just dropped down to 3. And Ask 6 @ 1.49
L2 has COST me money more than MADE me money because just when I was sure a stock was going to do 1 thing - it did just the opposite!
To me - on a hot stock, we could have 10 on bid at 1.49 and 10 @ 1.50 on Ask it in 1 minute it could change as much as 10% or MORE - EITHER way!
I just wish I could figure it out. Maybe it's a mental block, but that ABOT Demo moved soooo slow - it's NOTHING like SNPK is moving - up OR down.....
Thanks for any more insight you or anyone else here could possibly help me with.....
Please HELP with L2 question...
How do you figure what a stock is going to do by watching L2, especially when it is as volatile as this?? Right now we have 6 MMs on Bid @ $1.47 and 7 on Ask @ $1.48- But in a split second it could be 1.48 x 1.49 or 1.45 x 1.46.......
Anyone who sold at 1.35-1.38 yesterday and got back in at 1.24-1.26 was either VERY GOOD or VERY LUCKY or BOTH!
If I had tried to play it - and had sold at $1.35, I would've been looking for $1.15 re-entry and would still be on the sidelines - or worst yet, I may have chased it back up!
I've watched this video a few times - but I honestly don't get any help from it:

If any of you have something you'd share I'd REALLY appreciate it! Thanks so much for your time.
See- in the 2 minutes it took me to write this - we're at 1.49 x 1.50.
I'm "afraid" to try and flip it now to get some free shares...... I have a buy order in if we get down below $1.00 again....
$1.46 x $1.46 - Classic Run ACTION!!!
DontStopMeNow - How did you learn Level II? I watched this video a few times on L2 for pennies, but it didn't help me at all -

If you have something you'd share I'd REALLY appreciate it!
"no one predicted 1.38 close for today. We did however have 2 very close predictions at 1.37 and 1.38"! -From Connor McGuiness
DUH! Do you see SOMEONE predicted $1.38???? Geeeeeez
Through ALL of April and possibly into May, according to their emails.
John9972 - NOBODY is Stupid here except those who are obviously trying to cause trouble.
We were ALL new when we started!!
Good Luck to you and ALL of us!!!
GO SNPK..... Go ALL the way to $5.00+ !!!!!
When we ran to $1.39 I changed GTC Sell from $1.69 to $2.20 - at that point I would be up more than I've EVER made on a penny since 2001!!!! But I also would LOVE to get 2000-4000 MORE at .875 to 1.10
Good Luck to us ALL!!!!
WTF happened to bid/ask today???
Randy, I'm up over 200% myself in SNPK. If THIS POS ever ran a P&D campaign like APS' doing, we'd be back at the $2+ I bought in at!!!
I'm down OVER 50% here....should have sold at .03 and then PLAYED it...But I believed in the HPV Diagnostic SystemAS WELL AS the TRANSPORT system it seems they NEVER even HAD!!!!! Geeeeez.
How long - and to what Exit Prices - are you holding SNPK until???
Think it can actually hit $5+ ??!?!!
Good Luck to us ALL in ALL our holdings....
Thanks Gang! So at $1.50 we're up 400% correct? Original ALERT at .30; 100% would be .60,200% would be .90; 300% would be $1.20, and 400% would be at $1.50????? Or is my Math off??
Thanks to all who replied and helped!
GO SNPK GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks. They claim they ALERTED us to this at .28 am I correct?? I'm just trying to figure where to set the final sells for my initial buys at .42
I want to buy more if it falls to $1 to $1.10 tomorrow or Wednesday.. THOSE will be my "Trading/Gambling" Shares!!!
What are the numbers on APS' BEST pick EVER?? TIA
Thank you so much - I appreciate your help!
Thank you so much - I appreciate your help!
That's a GREAT HONEST Answer Garyst!!!
LOL
I HATE the fact that I didn't get filled for more at $1.10 Friday - I hate it even MORE that I didn't buy more at $1 Friday morning!!! I'd be up another $1,600 now.... But the BIG picture is I would've had 2,0000 more share to play to $3+
But I'm thankful for the 4000 I have at .42 (ALMOST tried to "play it" this morning - Glad I didn't)....
For tomorrow morning: Who thinks this will Gap; and run and who thinks gap and drop for first 15-30 minutes???
I'm wondering if it would be a good idea to sell into open and then buy back? But that wouldn't have worked out too well today unless you could REALLY see your re-entry back in at $1.25-ish. Otherwisw - we would have been chasing it......
Temptation’s NEW Song about POWER HOUR
"So, fee-fi-fo-fum...Look out baby, ‘cause here SNPK comes!
...So get ready, so get ready..."
Anyone see any significance to the fact that we only had 15 MM's playing this morning now there ar more than 30 again like Friday??
TIA
I Like LAMP @ $5.00 on ASK! At least it's a possibility. The new Highest Ask is SSGI @ $ 101.00! LOL
Close $1.65 - $2.00???
Looks like we have 2 hour POWER HOURS
Kaaaaa - BOOOOOMMMMM!!!!!
More NEWS just out from TopSecretIPO on ETD, but it won't let me copy n paste it..... Can someone else get it here somehow? TIA
This is doing what STVF did 2 weeks ago!! Went from $1.50 to $3.27 over 2 days!! WEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeee
Someone bought 1000 @ $1.20 pre-market
$1.47
ARMANI could you please explain WHAT CCI is and where we can get it? Is it something like Level 2 or totally different?
TIA
Wish we could buy puts to protect our shares! Doubt there'll ever be options here.....
Good Luck - Happy Easter
Kenswift - GREAT job! That is SOOooo COOL!!! This is the most fun I've ever had with a stock in 12 years! Are you familiar with the "Rally Monkey"? Or "To 'da Moon"?? No where NEAR as cool as what you and Carballo777 have done with Kool Aid and MAX!!!!!
Have a HAPPY BLESSED EASTER and we'll all be squealing WEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeee all the way to the bank next week I'm sure!!
aquire = BUY. They have the RIGHT to BUY at .30 someday in the future...Probably long after we've gone to the BANK!!
Geeez - you guys are SOOoo TALENTED!! I wouldn't know where to begin!
You're right - it's TONS of FUN! Just like owning SNPK!!!! You did a GREAT job on the other pictures!! Very talented!
Neo - what price are you planning on holding until?
I've written out a few different scenarios, but it all depends on us getting to $1.69 first!! I'm planning on buying another 1800 - 2000 shares if we dip on Monday (or Tuesday). If I get them - I'll use them as my "BONUS" shares if this runs through the roof, "playing" the ups and downs after I've taken my principal and profit out on my initial shares!! But WHO KNOWS? Surely not us.
Have a HAPPYBLESSED EASTER!!
OR have him hold a bottle of Clomatin in each hand instead of the pinwheels in THIS video (the one you made the picture of him racing from in your post # 22335):
Caballo777: Any way you could take the video with Max on the Zip Line and put the bottle of Clotamin in THAT video? Would be SUPER COOL!!
THIS is the video:

Aggressive Growth Plan Sets Sunpeaks Ventures Up For Bright Future
I have received compensation to research Sunpeaks Ventures (SNPK.OB). Nevertheless, I have tried to write to the best of my ability an unbiased review of this company.
Sunpeaks Ventures (SNPK.OB) has seen a spike in investor interest recently as it continues to execute on its aggressive growth plan. For some background, the company, and wholly owned subsidiary Healthcare Distribution Specialists ("HDS"), is a nationally focused, value-added distributor of specialty drugs and over-the-counter ("OTC") branded multivitamins to the healthcare provider market. According to the Healthcare Distribution Management Association, about 85% of all prescription medications are sold through healthcare distributors in the United States, which amounts to $300 billion in revenue.
Currently, HDS serves the secondary segment of the specialty drug market, estimated by management to be a $45 billion market segment. HDS currently functions as a just-in-time source of supply for hospitals for those products that are hard-to-find due to drug manufacturers' production shortages. In 2011 alone, there were over 200 drug shortages and by FDA estimates, this problem is only expected to worsen as more pharmaceuticals go generic. In addition to pharmaceuticals, HDS also distributes over-the-counter branded health supplements. Sunpeaks is currently analyzing several OTC products that would allow the company to become a powerful over-the-counter player in the multi-billon dollar health supplement market.
Players in the vitamin and OTC drugs industry include such giants as Herbalife (HLF) and Perrigo (PRGO), both sporting market caps of over $8 billion. So the potential for Sunpeaks is there.
To get an idea of the upside that awaits Sunpeaks one has to look back a few years. Just in the past three years, Herbalife has risen from a split adjusted just over $8 a share to nearly $70 now. A similar jump in Sunpeaks would take the stock to $8 a share. A smaller player in the industry includes Usana Health Sciences (USNA), which has been in business for a not too shabby 20 years.
Sunpeaks has released a number of critical announcements recently that has piqued investor interest and boosted the stock price. On March 12, the company announced that Clotamin will soon be available in approximately 70 Discount Drug Mart ("DDM") retail locations in Ohio. In addition, Clotamin will be included in the Pro Points Program, DDM's signature customer rewards program. That is expected to be part of a comprehensive advertising campaign valued up to $250,000 and could have an incremental sales increase of up to 60%, according to DDM.
Clotamin is Sunpeaks' signature product and is the world's first specialized OTC multivitamin product designed exclusively for use by patients on Warfarin or other anticoagulants (blood thinners). According to BioMed Trends, in a report released by Global Industry Analysts, the global anticoagulants market is projected to surpass $11.2 billion by the year 2015, driven by an aging global population, rising incidence of cardiovascular diseases, cancers and acute hip and knee complications, as well as the emergence of innovative therapeutics targeting new and previously targeted clotting factors.
On March 19, the company had a big announcement as it revealed Clotamin is now available on Walgreens.com, one of the country's largest retailers. The company also noted in a separate release that Clotamin will soon be available at Sedano's Supermarkets across South and Central Florida. Sedano's Supermarkets was founded in Hialeah, Florida, in 1962 and has grown to more than 34 supermarkets across South and Central Florida.
The next day, Sunpeaks announced further expansion in the Florida area. The company said Clotamin will soon be available at Navarro Discount Pharmacies locations across South Florida. Navarro Discount Pharmacies is one of the largest Hispanic-owned pharmacy chains, photo services and pharmacy benefit managers in the United States. Navarro currently operates 31 pharmacy stores mainly in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties, Florida. The company has more than 2,000 employees and annual sales of more than $350 million. Navarro also leads the industry in terms of sales per store, sales per square foot, and prescriptions filled per store.
Following those, Sunpeaks announced that two major U.S. companies will distribute its products. First came an announcement that Clotamin is now an authorized product at Winn-Dixie. Clotamin will be available at 57 Winn-Dixie locations in South Florida starting in May 2012. Winn-Dixie currently operates 482 stores throughout Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana and Mississippi.
The second was a strategic sales and marketing announcement with Acosta Sales and Marketing, one of the leading sales and marketing agencies in the consumer packaged goods industry. This is a big step as Acosta represents thousands of the most important brands in the United States and has developed relationships with many of the nation's largest retailers. Notably, Acosta has over $50 billion in system wide annual sales and close to 20,000 associates that call on over 100,000 retail stores per month. Acosta represents more No. 1 and No. 2 brands in North America than any other agency.
On the marketing side, Sunpeaks has also been able to attract a celebrity endorser that should help bring exposure and revenues. On March 17, the company announced that they have entered into an agreement with former All-Star player and professional basketball coach, Paul Silas, as a national spokesperson for Clotamin. Coach Silas is currently a basketball head coach for the Charlotte Bobcats, the team owned by Michael Jordan. He is also a nominee for the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame Class of 2012. During his 15-plus year professional playing career, Silas collected more than 10,000 points and 10,000 rebounds, won three championship rings, and was twice named to the All-Star team.
Sunpeaks also announced that it will be participating in the Diet, Vitamin and Sports Nutrition Expo to be held at the Westin Beach Resort and Spa in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on July 15-17, 2012. As part of the expo, HDS is scheduled to conduct one-on-one meetings and planning sessions with national pharmacies and retailers. This should be a great opportunity for the company to expand its distribution as the Expo is set up to provide maximum benefits to both retailers and manufacturers.
The Expo is organized by Efficient Collaborative Retail Marketing ("ECRM"), a provider of business solutions by integrating process, vision and technology. Comprised of Efficient Program Planning Sessions ("EPPS"), a powerful website, and the MarketGate Application Suite software, ECRM helps retailers and manufacturers improve sales, reduce expenses and go to market faster and more efficiently.
EPPS category-specific events consist of one-on-one planning sessions scheduled between manufacturers, retailers and distributors to review new items, marketing initiatives and strategic direction. Each manufacturer is provided a hotel suite to set up products, displays and related materials and to hold meetings.
Here is a closer look into the industry and how Sunpeaks is ready to help close the gap for people in need of critical drugs. According to both the FDA and the General Accounting Office ("GAO"), the United States is experiencing a record number of prescription drug shortages. The number of drug shortages has continued to grow substantially since 2006.
Data collected by the University of Utah Hospital's Drug Information Service indicates that 1,190 prescription drug shortages were reported from January 1, 2001 through June 20, 2011. Of these, 64% of shortages involved drugs that were in short supply more than one prior time. On average, drug shortages lasted an astounding 286 days (over nine months). Over half of all shortages reported from January 1, 2009, through June 20, 2011, were identified as critical, because, for example, alternative drugs were not available or involved older generic sterile injectable drugs. Certain therapeutic classes such as anesthetics, oncology (cancer) and anti-infective drugs (antivirals, anthelmintics, and vaccines) were among those most often in short supply.
The prescription drug shortage in the United States became mainstream news in late 2011, when President Obama signed an Executive Order directing the FDA to take action to help further prevent and reduce prescription drug shortages, protect consumers and prevent price gouging. The president's order directed the FDA to broaden reporting of potential shortages of certain prescription drugs and to further expedite regulatory reviews that can help prevent or respond to shortages. Under the president's order, the FDA will also work with to the Department of Justice, which will examine whether potential shortages have led to illegal price gouging or stockpiling of life-saving medications.
And this is where Sunpeaks comes in. Mackie A. Barch, CEO of the company, said that "we believe that a key element to any long-term solution to the shortage problem is a strong secondary wholesale market for prescription drugs. Our wholly-owned subsidiary, HDS, is positioned to become a potential leader in the secondary wholesale market for prescription drugs and intends to work closely with healthcare providers nationwide to identify and provide innovative solutions to prevent shortages for our growing list of clients."
Have a HAPPY, BLESSED EASTER Everybody!
