OK eagle...Will do...
But I don't think...
It'll be anytime soon...
I get the feeling RBAK will be near 16.00 in a week or two...
I'll be posting some charts here later today, and then I'll let you know how it looks going into next week...
Weekly Recap - Week ending 06-Jan-06
The Fed presented the stock market with a late Christmas present. It was good enough to lead to a fundamental shift in the outlook, and the S&P was up every day this week.
The Fed's December FOMC minutes were released on Tuesday afternoon. The The minutes stated that "views differed on how much further tightening might be required" and that "policy decisions going forward would depend to an increased extent on the implications of incoming economic data."
In other words, several more rate hikes are by no means guaranteed. Market talk went from a fed funds rate of 5% or more later this year to expectations that the Fed might halt the rate hikes at 4 1/2% or 4 3/4% over the next several months.
The S&P 500 index surged 20 points on Tuesday.
The implication that the Fed might be nearing the end of the rate hike cycle is a very important fundamental issue. Higher rates would threaten economic growth in the latter half of 2006, and would lower the relative value of stocks in valuation models.
The market response was rational. It also carried through the week.
The S&P index gained another 5 points on Wednesday, was up fractionally on Thursday, and posted a 12 point gain on Friday. All of this was possible because of the revised perceptions on Fed policy.
The Friday gain was due in part to a lower-than-expected 108,000 increase in December non-farm payrolls. This suggests weaker economic growth than expected, but at this time that is a positive for stocks because it adds to the argument that the Fed will soon stop raising rates. The key inflection issue for stocks is the interest rate outlook, not the economic outlook, and everything will be viewed through that perspective.
Other economic data this week were mixed. December auto sales were disappointing, but sales at retail chains were slightly better than expected for the important month of December.
There were only a few earnings reports. Walgreen, Monsanto, and Accenture had good reports. Oil was up on the week and crude closed above $64 a barrel. That was considered tolerable, however, especially as natural gas prices continued their recent plunge.
The focus will shift to fourth quarter earnings reports over the next couple of weeks, but the underlying tone has clearly improved since late December. This is due entirely to the revised expectations about the outlook for Fed policy.

"Contagious"?...Maybe...LOL
I think it's becasue I ate both black eyed peas,
And collard greens first thing New Years Day...
Onthego...
I sure hope this streak of good luck continues ;^)
Wawh...
That trade really made my day...lol
No, I'm still not into Cytogenix...
I'll finish my DD on it this weekend and post some charts...
Have a Great! Weekend...
;^)))
Here's a successful Day Trade...
$800.00 in 50 minutes...
Here's a successful Day Trade...
$800.00 in 50 minutes...
And I predicted it would happen just before it did...
http://www.investorshub.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=9147661
RBAK Just Set NEW 52 WEEK HIGHS!!!...15.33
And...I called this one right on the Money...
http://www.investorshub.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=9090814
This breakout up should run up to almost 16.00
I'll post some charts after the close today...
Good Luck To ALL ;^))
YIPPEEEEE!!! hehehe...
Yes...That looks like that was the pullback...
I called it to go to 14.75...Only five cents off ;^))
That's the way to play him...Wait for a steep pullback, and buy it...It usually goes up sharply after pullbacks...
Just look at that VOLUME coming in...Biggest in five days on the ten minute chart...
I too think a breakout to the upside is coming...
ARCA continually on the BID showing 9999...hmmmm...
That's the first time I've heard of Heikin Ashi Charts...
Is the Bar still open?...I need a BEER!
Yes, it probably needs to pullback or consolidate here...
To get back within the top BBand...A pullback to 14.75 and then a rally above 15.15 would form a nice inverse head and shoulders for a more convincing breakout...
Add a nice looking handle to this cup, and that ought to do it...
I exited GZFX with 50% of my profits today...
I guess that's better than a kick in the pants...LOL
What do you think about RBAK Snap?...
It's starting to look like it may want to go down to about 14.75, but it IS still a nice looking two day consolidation in an uptrend...
That's an Understatement!...eom
No kidding... ;^(((
It looks like a good place to enter to me too...
After a consolidation, when the volume picks up and it breaks above .033 again, it should do well...
I 'may' even think of doing a short swingtrade on it at that point...
Hi! 'lowman'...and
To the Board!
"I saw that statement too, PowerPole, and about fell off my chair laughing!"
I started hitting the 'SELL' button the minute that PR came out...I got all out above .02 and was glad I did, as it fell to .0132
I too think it was a 'plan' of theirs to scare investors so that they could pick up some really cheap shares...
Shame on the Mess...That's the Pink Sheets for you...LOL
I'm Done 'Investing' in PBLS, but will daytrade it on a really good PR for a few hours from now on...
It's nice to see you here...Come back anytime and ask for a chart analysis of any stock of your liking...
GOOD LUCK TO ALL! ;^))
;^)))
5.00? Try 15.00 LOL...It IS Looking Good!!! ;^)))
About PBLS...
After the PR stating there was a well producing 15K BBLS/DAY of Oil on the lease next to theirs in Nevada, and then putting out a PR later that it just wasn't "true", I lost ALL faith in the management of this Company...
Their PR writing skills still needs a LOT of improvement IMO...
That's all it took for me to bail out above .02 before the dump to .0132
It was obvious a LOT of other traders didn't like that PR any more than I did...
PBLS was my very first venture into the Pink Sheets, and it will be my last...
I still think the Company has a lot of promise for the future though...
They DO have a lot of good things going on, that should come out in future PR's, and give this stock a good rally this year...
For now, the charts are showing it WAY above the upper Bollinger Band on the daily chart, and also showing Very Overbought on the W%R and Fast Stochastics, so I would expect it to consolidate or pullback here to get withing the upper BBand...Of course, a Good PR out anytime now will make this one continue to rise, like it did on the last run-up...
GOOD LUCK TO ALL! ;^))
Good Morning! 'cosmoworld7'...and:
To the Board!

GameZnFlix, Inc. Q & A:
(GZFX) GameZnFlix, Inc.
http://www.talknstocks.com/company_qna_view.aspx?ID=66
Question & Answers
Q: Can you give us a brief overview of GameZnFlix, what you do and the markets you serve?
A: GameZnFlix, Inc., headquartered in Franklin, KY, is a growing business in the online DVD and video game rental space through its website at www.gameznflix.com. We have a wide selection of DVDs — everything from classics to new releases. As a member, you'll be able to choose from any of over 40,000 titles. You also get access to Xbox 360, Xbox, Playstation 2, Playstation 1, Playstation Portable (PSP) Games, Playstation Portable (PSP) Movies, and GameCube games. Gameznflix has over 3,000 game titles in stock covering all genres of gaming. The website is available 24 hours a day and makes finding DVDs and games very easy.
Members have the option to rent titles in bulk, all depending on a number of factors, including how quickly they watch and/or play and return them. With a 3-out-at-a-time plan, they can rent unlimited titles and exchange titles they've watched for new ones as often as they like. When their membership begins, we send them the titles they place in their queue. Then they can exchange titles as often as they like. Titles should arrive in their mailbox in about one to three business days via U.S. mail. When they finish watching or playing, simply put it in its pre-paid envelope and mail it back to us. After we receive it, we'll send them their next available movie. Shipping is always free both ways — no hidden charges.
Q: What do you think is the value proposition of your Company is for your customers?
A: Our value proposition is simple – it’s all about the "and". Having both DVDs "AND" video games gives us an advantage in the online rental market. We have the opportunity to serve the whole family with a wide range of home entertainment offerings. Roughly 66% of our members rent BOTH games and DVDs. So, we provide that choice and do a better job of serving the whole household.
Q: What do you think separates the Company from its competitors?
A: Typically someone would have to spend close to $40 per month to get the same thing we offer for $16.99 per month. That’s a 3-out plan at Netflix for $17.99 per month and a 2-out plan at GameFly for 21.95 per month. Even if it’s apples-to-apples, a 2-out plan at Netflix is 14.99 per month and a 1-out plan at GameFly is $14.95 per month – which is $29.94 per month total. Our 3-out offering is a $12.95 per month savings in that case.
Q: Tell us about the Company’s relationship with Circuit City.
A: We are currently testing our services with Circuit City. Circuit City's policy is to not comment on ongoing tests so I can not provide you with additional details about the nature of the tests or the results of the tests.
Q: When can investors expect the Company to see an up tick in its subscription revenues?
A: I’m proud to report that we saw a 110% increase in paid members for the fourth quarter of 2005.
Q: Is the Company currently capitalized to achieve its strategic objectives through the next 12 months?
A: As of September 12th, 2005 the SEC allowed the filed SB2 to become effective and our funding to begin under that program. We are already in a position to adequately fund operations for 2006 and continue our growth.
Q: How much growth through acquisition can investors expect to see from the Company through the next 12 months?
A: The Company has and will continue to look at possible acquisitions for many different business reasons. Some of which are growth and others for a fit into our desire to be an internet entertainment group. We are looking to acquire companies and not be
Q: Tell us about your management team.
A: John Fleming, CEO and Chairman of GameZnFlix, has a long history of working with emerging public and private companies. As a career accountant, John is well versed in the financing and fund raising arenas.
Myself, Chip Gallent, President, I have been working with internet-based businesses for 10 years. My experience has always straddled the technology and marketing of these companies. In my own practice I specialized in taking companies online and evaluating the inter-workings of a business in order to streamline their operations to work in the Internet space.
Arthur deJoya, Chief Financial Officer, has over 12 years of experience in both public and private accounting, mainly working with publicly traded companies. He is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, Nevada Society of Certified Public Accountants and Public Company Accounting Oversight Broad.
Chris McLaurin, Vice President of Web Operations, served as chief technology officer for NETContent, Inc of Nashville, Tennessee from 2002 until assuming this position, and was President of C. McLaurin & Assoicates, Inc. of Murfreesboro, Tennessee a application design, e-commerce planning and software development firm prior to NETContent.
Q: What are some milestones that investors should watch for? (operational and financial/ 12-18 months)
A: We’re going to be very busy this year. So far, here’s what we have slated:
A new re-designed website in Q1 2006.
An aggressive online advertising campaign targeting the individuals who are most likely to use or try online services.
Sponsorship and/or endorsement programs.
Opening of further distribution centers. Currently the Company is reviewing Florida, Texas, Northeast, Midwest and Hawaii.
Research and development to identify future product delivery platforms.
Possible international expansion in 2006.
Our goal is and will always be profitability for the company.
Q: Do you have any additional closing comments?
A: As a business we have a solid operating infrastructure in place, we understand what our customers expect and how to serve them, and we know how to grow our customer base. Understanding these key fundamentals, we are now in a position to execute our plan and grow the company.
Q: Is there a website where investors can get more information?
