just repaying you back for your off hand comment yesterday. feels nice, huh. Thanks for the old news IAN, post #: 12049. lol, chinese characters didn't agree with ihub though.
Revised (mutli- tasking here :)) ~ with all due respect, and i'm sure media will weigh back in on the meaning of his post, and i may be way off basis here. 1). it has nothing to do whether the show airs and whatnot. it's all about how the mkt is reacting now with the given variables and he's giving his perspective based on his experiences and upon his analysis on the current mkt sentiment. 2). this stock is a swing trader's dream and folks are making $'s hand over fist here.
spot on assessment media. i too have seen this scenario time and again, and it won't be the last. one knows the feeling of the momo play selling the hype.
with that said i'm in....
are you all ready for the next uptick! hunter, i'd meant to convey at the last moment of trading, such as the last hr or so, not necessarily 11a. depending on the security, anticipation (of pending news), ta & fundamentals there are various reasons why you may see that pattern and imo mm play is def one.
hey pops i know what you mean... all of next week i will be locked in and out meetings at the seattle downtown hilton and i don't know when i'll get in front of a pc. you can bet i'll be stealing glances at my mobile phone web browser, lol.
and thanks for the wishes, you have a great day and weekend too. :)
pops, i sure like to see that newbridge securities ask get taken out.
i can also see vol under a mil until the 11th hr when we see a boom and vol rips off a mil+
i'm guessing aagh eod at the 52wk high or close to it on vol of 3mil+.
good morning all. coming up ~ 20:40 百万智多星
ah the chinese symbols didn't work...
you are still posting...
my opinion is the show has already passed mustard with any editing/censorship done and is ready for the premier showing.
tomorrow's open should could be interesting with a gap.
i'd like to see .35+, c'mon baby.
good morning all. how about a share buy back vs r/s lucky?
media, quick fyi before i shut down this pc for the day and head out the door. this co is ripe and investors are awaiting annoucemnet of new contracts signed.
higher highs and lower lows/eom
yeah, you're welcome... lol. i have been searching various sites such as ogilvy action and the regents beijing for the latest.
no sense REHASHING dd everyone knows about. so the on topic header was WHILE WE WAIT.
while we wait:
'Who Wants to Be a Millionaire' Hitting China
China to Get Its Own Edition, but Don't Expect Millionaire Winnings By BETH LOYD

Share Who wants to be a millionaire?
Unless you're a billionaire, probably just about everybody. In mainland China, they are about to get their shot at the "hot seat."
Well, not exactly.
A Dutch company called 2waytraffic holds the rights to the wildly popular "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire."
It announced Thursday that it had sold a license for China Media Power group to produce an edition in Mandarin. This will mark the show's exposure to the country with the world's largest population and an ever-expanding economy.
"Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" debuted in the United Kingdom, where it was an astonishing success. When it crossed the pond to the United States, it became a hit for ABC Inc., which is owned by The Walt Disney Co., the parent company of ABC News.
"Millionaire" also became one of the highest earners in TV programming history. And according to the production company, it has broken ratings records in almost every one of the 106 countries that have put the show on the air.
Not Really a Millionaire Prize in Chinese Edition
"Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" Chinese edition will debut in May, but it won't offer any financial windfalls for regular contestants.
Earlier this month, the government put new rules in place to regulate TV shows. Reality shows are a staple in China, but the government has deemed them "vulgar" and has begun a crackdown.
The Shanghai Daily newspaper reported that the Chinese broadcasting monitor was calling for only "ethically inspiring" television shows during primetime, leading up to a major meeting of the ruling Communist Party.
All mainland TV shows must jump through several hoops before they can make their way to the TV sets of potentially 1.3 billion people.
First, the show must be approved by the state media administration and then it must be screened by the Publicity Department of the Communist Party Central Committee. These restrictions go into effect in February and will last for at least eight months, according to a television programming official.
Why?
Despite the fact that television stations here are state-owned, recently broadcasters have begun to lure viewers and advertising with reality shows and costume dramas laden with romance and suspense.
China is also concerned about an influx of foreign-made shows that lack local content, so it aims to curb them and promote more local development.
Not Regis, No Meredith … and Not Really a Million
So, "Millionaire" in China will have a different look. The people here won't see a housewife or a cabdriver or a shop owner using "phone a friend" in the "hot seat." Instead, all the contestants will be celebrities, and the cash prizes will go to charity.
And the producers will probably have to change the name of the show. One million yuan, the currency on the mainland, is roughly $129,000, and that just doesn't have the same ring to it.
So, the ratings success of the show in other countries may get lost in translation here, if you believe that a large part of the lure is watching someone just like you try to win a million bucks.
While the show won't feature hosts Regis Philbin or Meredith Viera, it is still the first of its kind on mainland China and represents the continued interest in Western entertainment -- even if everyday contestants don't get to play for themselves.
'Who Wants to Be a Millionaire' Hitting China - Continued
well now :) looking at the delayed l2 it appears that the bids are stacking up.
they are loading up for the bounce once bottom has been reached.
mm's playing the spread, headfake, etc...
any pr today with a bit of fluff on a sucessful turnout with promising news forth coming would get the ball rolling in a big way now.
they are trying to be stealthy...
ditto, that's exactly my thoughts as well.eom

REVISED FOR YOU 5 X 5... i'm certainly new to this thread. with that said, if you are a like minded investor than it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know of an outright basher and maybe even subtle ones depending on ones experience.

the mods should either delete 5x5's posts and consider a one/two ban to teach some respect.
