Need a bunch of the eternally faithful to bite the bullet and buy above .06

Made my day, porky.

The pattern shows Loss of Faith in Management's ability to "bring it".

No PR is going to help -- only earnings PROOF of change of direction in revenue, and real news of a revenue-producing contract, can turn this ship!

If that happens, I will sponsor you a bottle of your favorite ____

Agree with subgrabber, but based on different companies I have invested in, such entities are really interested in acquiring the technology and use their positions to gain access/influence for technology transfer, which can cause co's with unique technologies to lose competitive edge. Also, the big investments are done at a discount sh price that represents unfair advantage over retail investors' access, causing technical damage that can keep prices suppressed for a long time. During this time, related parties can be acquiring at very low prices to protect their investment, keeping prices in the kind of straight-jacket we are seeing. That said, sudden big spikes can later occur that one will miss if not psychic enough to have a GTC sell order set at the right price.
Recommend "IF/THEN conditional sell orders that set a trailing stop if a certain limit criterion is met." This keeps those orders invisible as well, so one is less apt to be taken advantage of by MM's "trading ahead" or other computerized algo cr_p.

See my wild theory from 1 minute ago, approx. -- I may have responded to subgrabber's reply but meant to respond to your observation at the same time...

The first two, I doubt are the "itchy fingers", do not know about the third. Someone or a pair controlling perhaps 4 Million of the daily trade, could be profiting .005/share, for a gain of $100K/ week, or $400K/ month. If they keep this up for a YEAR, they'll have made 5 million. Is that their game? Because trading has been in a notably unnatural straight jacket for too many weeks now...

Very much so, treading water... But exhausting the patience of risk averse itchy fingers...

ROYL sure went for a huge run recently. Wish I had stayed there longer, and waited to increase position in Asti until after their earnings. This thing is in a Straight Jacket! Painful to watch! Let's just pray that when it starts to move, the direction is the right one.

Good luck, hope it doesn't take long. I don't know about these policies. Many newer banking laws in this country.

It's like watching water waiting to boil.

Yeah, the 6 digit trading. The famous Flash Boys!

Except that, if they have any real chance at a DOD or other government contract, they HAVE to be able to ramp up production quickly, so they would not be 'trimming their sails' , and risk inability to respond quickly if they receive a big contract.

Some government contracts are decided on an annual basis, April-may, for example, but fiscal years may not begin until July 1, for example. I don't know if the company can even comment on WHEN they would hear IF they expected any contract.

I know these days do to The Patriot Act, they want a residential street address, but I did not US citizenship was required to open an account. That seems absurd? Why don't you ask ETrade about their policies, or the two I mentioned. Some big banks have investment/trading accounts but maybe not all the active trading features of the brokerages. Good luck. Maybe do some internet research for your special situation?

Geez, one wonders if they have been involved in shorting after buying at those high prices, to protect their investment, profiting from controlling so much of the daily volume...

Be great to see one heck of a short squeeze one day soon. I have not thought short interest had any influence at all on share price in recent weeks, with prices so depressed, but one wonders how a major investor like that would have been dealing with the massive losses.

Thanks very much for translating this!

My sense is that they have "a long row to hoe" before they will have clinical data on anything, but that they hope to push and profit from the Theoretical potential of the Cell-in-a-box and rights to the Melligen cell lines, by licensing the patents etc. to other labs who want to test or develop potential applications. The main thing it seems to have going for it is that failed clinical trials that would cause a price plunge are way out in time.

And it seems impossible to assess their ability to monetize the novel technology through licensing to third parties right now.

Well, the video you shared was an eye opener to me, as it seems to show the blazing speed at which competitive computerized trading based on algorithms allow the MMs handling orders to keep the action locked in to very small spreads, almost locking out small investors - until very brief pauses in time where volume drops -- and where the orders of 'real people' are finally filled. One learns that the bids and asks flashed before us are often deceptive -- and, without insight into the 'depth of field' behind the visible prices at each MM, ... Well, little guys sure do get pushed to the fringes as far as what tiny profits are made possible on these sorts of stocks.

Though there is really no comparison between the nature of the companies, I was encouraged to watch ROYL go from 7-8 cents during transition to OTCQB, to hitting 50 cents yesterday. Was only disappointed that I cleared out at 28 and 33 cents. I'd really like to see those working so hard on this board to decipher what the heck is going on with ASTI, to see a 400% increase from this 5-6 cents "purgatory".

When seen like that video, one has an enhanced sense of how much high-speed trading algos are involved - the book Flash Boys comes to mind.

I don't know how much can be blamed on the financiers' dumping shares, or on corrupt entities shorting and covering small spreads and locking out retail investors, but I do see some small hints of an upward moving cast to the price trend...

But perhaps I am imagining things, (again!). My sense is, Raise your expectations and your limit order sell prices on any GTC orders up until just before earnings. I agree with the fellow who said he won't be surprised by low teens...

I hope for upper teens and 20's dependent on NOT any PRs, but on earnings and contracts.

advanced charts on both my brokerage platform and FreeStockCharts.com, you can make charts showing price and volume per 1 minute (or 2 or 5 min, etc.) in graphic form. Not sure what you want to do with the numbers data -- if you want an Excel spreadsheet type summary or what... MACD captures the relation between price and volume to some extent, in whatever time frame you specify. You might also check out Alexander Elder's Force Index, which is one option of indicator available on Stockcharts.com.

Two highly recommended are: Interactive Broker and Trade Station.
Fidelity gets fairly good fills, but many features are limited unless you use the Windows-based ActiveTraderPro platform. Their Mac-friendly web based platform has many limitations. Are you in the USA?

Amen.

Maybe irresponsible post given recent major investments by multiple parties?

Quarterly report posted here 30 min ago. Can anyone decipher this meaningfully? Please forgive my ignorance. These things seem Greek to me.

That all the execs are going to cut their salaries to no more that $50K per year until and unless they are producing something of value that shows up in share price growth, and that they are not going to raise the AS/OS.

Would that be someone trying to suppress price deliberately so that someone else can buy cheap? As if they are being compensated to do this?

What is this VDMN? How do they get so many shares to have such power to keep it down?

Yes, it does look ready for a wave up

Thursday March 12?

Maybe wise. I could imagine revisit 2.

I have to agree...

Okay, that's really useful to know that.

I'm wondering where one can trade the full range of hours possible.

But honestly, I think it best to stick to 9:30-4:00 due to the many issues AH.

Hafta say I can see that. Totally.

$3 sounds real good. That really WOULD "make my day".

In fairness, .052- .055 looking pretty darn sturdy. I tried kicking it and the tires did not collapse...

He's right, there was a new entry in Late Feb.

I think it could see 8-10 before Earnings, maybe better if earnings great.

Definitely fidelity limitation, as they only route after-hours via ARCA, unless maybe if you use their active trader platform with Windows maybe you have more routing options. Basic web platform and mobile app will not recognize OTC symbols in AH.

Thanks for this info, is of interest.

Janice, you liven up any party!
