Get a hold of the liason in your congressman or senator's office. They may have a "secret" number to use in calling the SEC or be able to contact them and stimulate a response.
That's what you pay them for...
I don't get it with IMCL - LOUSY PR, tax problems and it goes up?
I noticed blocks were dumped after the halt was lifted. Is it a short now??? Is this a pump & dump?
I don't trade this one because I don't trust their management, just trying to figure out the action. I'm tempted to short.
Not kidding - it might have happened but I didn't notice that it was a pump & dump. I don't follow a lot of the "popular" stocks, haven't been trading that long, and I'm finding my perception is changing rapidly right now.
I noticed SEPR and GERN both appeared to be pumped pre-market and then shorted? Is this a correct observation? Were there many other stocks manipulated this way this morning? Does this mark the beginning of a distribution cycle?
Many questions as I have not seen this sort of thing before.
AGIX - is anyone following it and can you give me a "read" on the current action? I've done great with a swing trade but I am more familiar with dead cat bounces than stocks entering high ground.
SIRI has been mentioned by a few people I respect on the boards, so I was just looking at the chart. Wether you buy or sell is based on personal objectves (long or short term), but if your objectives are long term, this chart suggests there is a lot more mileage in SIRI:

EP - that was the MOTHER of all shakeouts - I have never seen anything like it, but then again, I'm not that experienced a trader.
How common is a move like that?
I held my trading position through it because of the strength of earlier action, but I certainally learned the meaning of "keep your powder dry". I wish I hadn't already spent my wad when I saw it at $6.20.

I am happy with freetrade, especially since they changed their daytrading calculation.
The only drawbacks are:
1) no stock transfers in or out
2) cash transfers are by wire only
3) no support other than e-mail
It happens on three different machines...
"If they got rid of all pointless, lying, or just plain insane posts there would be very little left."
I disagree. I have found quite a few of the boards to be very informative. You just have to use the ignore feature heavily.
I did that a couple of weeks ago when this happened.
1) set up PaulaGem2 on domain #1... That worked for about 1/2 hour.
2) set up another alias on domain #1 - it was blocked so I assumed the block had been changed to domain level.
3) set up the third alias on domain #2 - it worked for a few minutes.
4) tried to set up a fourth alias on domain #3 - it did not work so I assumed the block was extenede to IP level.
I called Yahoo and spoke to mgmt. They said they had no record of an IP block but it disappeared a couple of hours after I complained in person.
This block was IP level immediately. I was able to sign in at the library and on a friend's computer. It is odd because it is only blocking a subset of the boards and this time it is a block on current data. I can access anything before that point if I already have the board bookmarked. I can post to those boards but not read my posts.
Taking your advice, I just tried using Netscape - same story. Sorry, I don't know how to "jump thru a series of proxy servers". The boards that don't work stop on 3/14 sometime after 4:40.
Who would be behind message board manipulation?
For a second time my Yahoo account is being messed with.
I am blocked on the IP level from: OMG MEDT ICPT BPUR GOJO CCUR FCEL CYTC AFFX ALLP AMLN ARDM BCII CALY CEPH EDSN SQNM GEB FHRX NTII ALT LSBC MDCO RTIX APPX GNVC CTIC CNCT CRXA CRY MLNM CBST CYTO STEM GNLB GILD HITK BLUD IMNR INCY INKP IPIC KOSP LJPC LGND MOGN NPRO PARS RGEN SERO SUPG VRTX CELG NEOT QSC. I am not being blocked from ORCH which is the board I post to most frequently.
Since the blocking is both selective and at the IP level, I believe it is a hedge fund or someone who has bought off an employee for the purpose of manipulation. I spoke to Yahoo management the last time my account was disrupted and they told me there were no blocks according to their records. Still, the block existed so it had to be "unofficial".
Some of the boards I am blocked from are only bookmarked and never posted to. My suspicion is that there is a specific employee involved that does not have access to the entire database.
Not to sound obtuse - but what is the "CME" symbol you are charting???
Can't find the chart you referred to..
Point taken - unfortunately with freetrade it is only e-mail, you can't phone.
Fortunately I had already made some money on the run-up so I just had to give back some of my profit.
If you're going to learn a lesson, I guess that's the way to go.
You can only wire funds in and out of Freetrade and they post the funds in a timely fashion.
No stock transfers and no phone customer service.
I may have missed something like that, it's never happened before. How common is this sort of thing?

Dear Valued Freetrade Client:
This is not a software issue on our part, we can not update the status of your trade
without receiving the fill report from the market. While automation has made the
process of executing and receiving a report of an execution faster, the Execution
Agents have up to 3 days to report a fill on a trade. Your order was never
reflected as "Canceled", which means you were not out on the order.
Sincerely,
Client Services

How can I trade an account that waits 50 minutes to show a fill?
Don't give me a form mail about my cache because the other trade showed up
immediately, as they usually do.
IT IS A SOFTWARE PROBLEM ON YOUR PART and I should not be penalized for
the extra trade.
It seems I placed a limit order for 7.94 - I did not get the fill reported so I cancelled it and replaced it with a 7.95 which was filled.
50 minutes later they reported the fill @ 7.94 and posted it to my account. I guess they are saying they are not responsible becaues the "third party" reported it late.
How the heck can a trade get lost for 50 minutes with all of this automation?
AMERITRADE - is anyone else having software problems.?
They did not post a fill to my account and I replaced the order, ended up with a double posistion and a double loss.
Fortunately I had made a bigger gain on MLNM earlier but it still bugs me. This is the first time I have tried to trade a rapidly moving stock on Freetrade and I am not impressed.
In edit - I just got this e-mail:
Dear Valued Freetrade Client:
Please note, we do not execute your orders. All orders are routed to a third party
market maker for execution. Please read the terms and conditions regarding the
execution and reporting of trades.

Since I got no response from you I had to sell that 300 shares at market.
This is the first time I have ever tried to trade this account in a
rapidly moving stock and I am extremely disappointed.
You can't fill an order .28 above market 15 minutes after it was cancelled.
I was trying to buy 500 shares of MLNM @7.95-7.94 and I sold them at
market $7.66
You should credit me for any other trades and I am afraid to trade this
stock any more today because you have filled my orders so poorly.
I would be interested in your thoughts on the same chart but three year weekly. I always have to look at things in multiple time frames.
Yes, thanks. I later realized that I posted the link wrong.
Last week I got locked out of Yahoo and I believe it was related to an offensive stance I was taking against a poster who was BS'ing about the stock.
I had one other experience with a poster who had enough clout to have my posts removed immediately for "TOS" violations. I was simply posting charts and I have since posted the same sort of material without their being removed. That poster was "Roger Mangane" on the Yaho IMGN board. He was obviously a broker and appeared to scare people out of their shares. His posts and ID have since been completely wiped from that board.
Last week my ID was blocked. I created a new ID and after a few posts that was blocked. A third ID was blocked so I assumed there was a domain level block. I created a fourth ID under another domain that I control and posted on that one for a while and it was blocked. An attempt to create a fifth ID under a third domain was unsuccessful so I assumed there was a IP level block.
I sent an email complaint with the title "POSSIBLE SEC VIOLATION" and contacted someone by phone. I was told that there were NO BLOCKS showing in the system at a management level. I know that I was blocked because I had bogus ID's blocked when I was fighting against IMGN's porno boy (another story) and I know the behaviour of the page when it is blocked.
I found that a friend of mine was able to post to my ID from an ISP in CA, but I was not. The block was removed late in the day and I got a cryptic e-mail from Yahoo saying they believed the problem would not happen again.
There are those who would say this is paranoia speaking, but the lawsuit referred to on the IBCL board contends that it does happen.
Be careful out there folks, lots of sharks in the water!!!
Interesting info on lawsuit against RB and manipulators:

Policy is now closer to Daytek policy. I am not surprised becuase they would have lost 90% of their customers if they change Daytek to Ameritrade rules and they consolidated clearing houses recently.
Freetrade has changed their daytrading margin policy -
I can now wholeheartedly recommend it.
Or lack of asenine pseudo-religious morality in the legal system.
O.T. Check out ORCH for a good deal, MM's are dumping the traders and I expect them to make a run from here.
And wouldn't that totally SCREW all of the naked shorts? Shares would have to be redeemed at some point, woudn't they?
Why trust the charts?
Because it also shows when the herd is buying and the big guys are selling (distribution).
That was NOT the case before IBCL was halted.
That is why I only trust the charts...
Disclosure - I am long, but only an amount I can afford to loose. Prior to the SEC halt the charts looked great. I have been in and out of this stock for a few years and I know it is for real. Do your own DD but don't let an idiot with a big mouth over ride your own judgement.
Speaking of connecting the dots...
I hope both IHUB and the SEC are tracking those late night bashers. I suspect there is a common thread.
Could be patronizing, or it could be affectionate. You have to be careful when assigning emotions to posts.
Not cool ---
I don't give that kind of info to strangers.
What is the nature of the restraining order?
I also sent an e-mail to Ameritrade asking them to correct the last trade price which is now showing at .045.
I can't view a market that regularly dumps just before big positive news, enabling MM's to replenish inventory, as "random".
Sisoft will be in competition with IBCL I think in the end Tim and Jacque will learn it is better to compete than to destroy each other.
I don't see how that is possible. Either IBCL has a valid patent or they do not. If they do not then Sisoft willnot be the only one to compete with IBCL.
The plot thickens....
Payback - do you know how to read?
Keeping did not express an opinion against Tim. He did express a long standing belief in the company.
Where the heck did you get the idea that he expects Tim to be used as an example to crooked CEO's?
If false, isn't this report LIBEL?
In edit - FRAUD is a criminal term, you are right, Tim would be in jail.
I just remembered something I've read in the past.
Small newspapers with only a few reporters often print information submitted to them in PR format with little editing.
SEC needs to investigate the source of this article if no suit was in fact filed.
