Just sharing what I know from experience. Thanks upb.
ahpinvestmentz, I am not sure whether I qualify as a "board expert", but I will attempt to answer your question.
"Why do I seem to notice a majority of the time, a huge run up before financing deals are announced? Even when the financing is the kiss of death aka Convertible Debentures."
Imagine company XYZ has set up an offering. CDs are usually convertible at a very significant discount to the market. A financer dealing directly with the company commits a certain amount of money, receives the right to these CDs, and privately agrees with the company that it will release news in order to generate interest (best measured in volume) for the financer to liquidate. If all goes well, this financer may very well like to fund this company in the future. This is more than likely in the best interest of the company.
Now the financer converts stock at a significant discount to the market. The float has not changed at this point because these shares are not "floating" in the market, just yet. The company begins a news release campaign, promoters are hired (either by the company or the financer, perhaps both?), organized groups acquainted with the financer are asked to participate in the market. This is where the run-up occurs. And where smart financers sell stock for a large profit. The cons of this activity are rather obvious: the dilution in the market makes the stock "heavier" and lowers shareholder value...well, that is if there is any to begin with. One “pro” of this type of activity is that the market becomes very liquid. Very tradable. And consequently attractive. Now all sorts of factors have a ripple effect on the market. Round Two? That's when the price retraces to a certain level and the financer either commits to a new round of financing, or converts the remainder of his CDs from his last commitment with the company.

“Unmistakable bullish activity” – perhaps the best way to describe Monday’s trading session. Shares of Washington Mutual Inc. rallied more than 21%, on breakout volume to open trading in 2010. A little on what is to be expected heading into the next trading session and beyond…analysis, in video format, follows.

If any adjustment to the common stock is made, the offering should be adjusted likewise because the offering is determined based on the capital requirements ($) and not a designated number of shares for issue.
Thank you Mick.
Thank you for the thorough response, Miguelito. All the best.
Are there any advantages to this brokerage that you've found through experience? Disadvantages? Anything along the lines of order execution speed, quality of trading platform, etc.

Wednesday’s trading session began on a low note – literally – as the price tested the breakout level from the prior session. A dramatic change occurred as the ‘bulls’ or ‘longs’ propelled the price back above the open, and eventually towards a nice gain on the session – fueled by above average volume continuing to frequent the market. My thoughts and analysis, in video format, follow.

TDGI ($0.028): Target and Hannover House Set for Direct Video-On-Demand Access.
SPRINGDALE, AR - 12/30/09 - Hannover House, the film and video distribution division of Target Development Group, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: TDGI) (Other: www.TargetDevelopmentGroup.com, www.HannoverHouse.com), has entered into direct access agreements with more than a dozen of the top U.S.A. based Video-On-Demand providers and retailers, with titles being offered as soon as February 2010 . The new structure will enable Hannover House to deliver new release movies and catalog titles on a direct basis through streaming technologies available over the internet and through cable television providers.
"This is a major, structural development for the company," said Eric Parkinson , C.E.O. of Hannover House and Target Development Group, Inc. "We see Video-On-Demand emerging in 2010 as a significant revenue source for Hannover House and other studios with large content libraries. Quality and security issues with the technologies have been resolved, making V.O.D. the easiest way for consumers to access entertainment. As a rights owner and distributor, Hannover saves on the manufacturing and freight costs associated with DVDs and Blu-ray videos, plus benefits from the faster and more direct payment stream. It's a highly-profitable method to deliver entertainment and our new structure should maximize these results," Parkinson concluded.
The Hannover House 2008 release of "Hounddog," starring Dakota Fanning , was made available for Video-On-Demand through a variety of cable networks, V.O.D. suppliers and internet retailers. Key accounts included Time Warner Cable , Comcast , Cox Communications , DISH Network , AT&T , Verizon , Amazon.com and Netflix . Access to these accounts was through a third-party agency, which Hannover felt significantly reduced efficiency, profitability and cash flow timing. Hannover's new structure provides direct access to V.O.D. suppliers and is expected to improve placements, revenues and collections. A complete listing of Hannover House V.O.D. partners will be released in mid-January.
Hannover House owns or controls the distribution rights to more than 150 feature film and television properties. Principal offices, warehousing and production facilities are located in Springdale, Arkansas , in close proximity to the world headquarters for Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. , the nation's largest retailer for entertainment products. Other key accounts for Hannover House products include Amazon.com , Barnes & Noble , Best Buy , Blockbuster , Borders , Christian Book Outlet , Family Christian Stores, Hastings, Hollywood Video, Movie Gallery , Netflix and SAMS Clubs.
