I usually have a lot to say. I just know when to keep it to myself.

lol, I wish I was better with photoshop. Perhaps
somebody with some time would impose the logo over the chart.
Let's compare the two-

Actually, that's a very good question. We have the option to purchase ADR (ADS) IPO's here- in fact, this board has covered a few of them.
However, I think your question would be better directed to your full service broker.
with the amount of volatility in any IPO- I prefer to
at least stay on the markets that I'm most familiar with.
ot: Knees posted his farewell recently. We all miss him dearly.

NKE: Still swooshin:

fwiw, RIO has been booked solid (for the weekend of the convention) for some time now.
NKE: Swwwwwwwwwwooooooooooooosh! (chart)
"all sides, all opinions, all angles and all slants"
I like that. It sums up the board nicely.
'tis going in the ibox, jimmenknee!
not to mention it's been a strong technical play on this board.
I just searched and it's been discussed via ticker (not counting responses) for nearly 300 posts here and for quite some time.
The Cats have cashed in on this play, imho.
way to go
Well let me help you understand this board. You are welcome to post here, but not to attack the posters here.
This board is an open forum for discussing stocks. This
is a non-stock specific board because most of us are not
in love with the securities, rather in love with the profits.
We trade them.
Hope that wasn't a "silly" post and my message was clear.
Carry on......
Hey Phil,
Just wanted to pop over and say hello. I haven't been around the boards much in weeks-
however i do recall this board being a great place to chill out now and again.
Hope this board never dies. It's way too cool. :)
Bridge
you should ask the mod here (Dave) to put that one in the ibox.
Nice site.
(printer on) that is going to be saved. Thank you!
Thanks everyone! This is going to be one heck of
a 22nd year! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee
That would be interesting Susie. I was thinking along the same lines regarding posts that contained vulgar words-
it automatically was deleted or simply wouldn't be understood by the system for posting.
Congrats Steven! Nice grub and win! Enjoy :)
Wall Street Looks to Earnings Reports
Sunday October 7, 1:55 pm ET
By Madlen Read, AP Business Writer
As Earnings Season Begins, Investors Hope for Signs of Corporate Resilience
NEW YORK (AP) -- Now that Wall Street is more upbeat about the economy after this summer's upheaval in the financial markets, it's looking for evidence that corporate America is thriving, too.
This week brings the first wave of third-quarter corporate earnings reports. Investors are already bracing for dim results -- Standard & Poor's anticipates a slight decline in total earnings-per-share for S&P 500 companies. But the S&P is forecasting fourth-quarter growth of more than 10 percent, so the outlooks companies issue will be crucial.
The third quarter was rough for the financial markets -- not that you'd be able to tell from where stocks stand now. Last week, the Dow Jones industrial average rose 1.23 percent and is near record highs. The Standard & Poor's 500 index hit a record after gaining 2.02 percent last week, while the Nasdaq composite index climbed 2.92 percent.
The gains came as data revealed a growing jobs market in August and September, amid modest growth in the manufacturing and services sectors. Investors shrugged off warnings from Citigroup Inc., UBS AG, Washington Mutual Inc. and Merrill Lynch that loan-related losses would significantly hurt their third-quarter results. Wall Street, unsurprised by the announcements, was if anything relieved that the banks foresee better performance for the fourth quarter.
But any worse-than-expected earnings or warnings revealing problems going forward could rock the market.
"The relief rally has gotten us to this point," said Joe Battipaglia, chief investment officer at Ryan Beck & Co. "There continue to be lagging sectors, the biggest being, of course, the consumer."
On Friday, the Commerce Department reports on September retail sales, which economists surveyed by Thomson Financial expect to show an anemic gain. But Wall Street is forecasting solid third-quarter earnings from some big consumer brands -- Yum Brands Inc. on Monday, Costco Wholesale Corp. on Wednesday, and PepsiCo Inc. on Thursday.
Alcoa Inc. on Tuesday will be the first of the 30 Dow companies to release third-quarter earnings, and the aluminum producer is expected to report a modest profit rise. Another Dow component, General Electric Co., will release earnings Friday. GE is expected to post an increase in profit, even after warning last month that exiting the struggling subprime lending market meant the industrial conglomerate had to take a third-quarter charge of $300 million to $400 million.
Some of the most highly anticipated earnings reports, given the problems in lending this summer, are those of student lender SLM Corp., or Sallie Mae, which is currently a takeover target, and M&T Bank Corp., the first of the regional banks to officially release third-quarter results. Analysts expect both to post modest gains.
Though earnings are coming into focus, monetary policy remains on investors' minds.
On Tuesday, the Fed releases minutes from its Sept. 18 meeting, when it decided to lower the target federal funds rate by half a percentage point to loosen up the credit markets and prevent them from paralyzing the economy. Also Tuesday, St. Louis Fed President William Poole and San Francisco Fed President Janet Yellen will be making speeches that investors will parse for clues about monetary policy.
Wall Street is split over whether policy makers will lower the target rate again or hold it at 4.75 percent. Battipaglia thinks they should keep rates where they are, given that the credit and stock markets are improving. Last week, demand for commercial paper -- a type of bond that companies sell for quick cash -- was on the upswing.
Furthermore, energy and food prices have rebounded from their August sell-off, while the dollar is still trading near all-time lows against the euro -- a recipe for inflation. A weak dollar helps boost U.S. exports and magnifies the revenue at U.S. companies with overseas operations, but it can also make imports more expensive and U.S. Treasurys less attractive to foreign buyers.
Wall Street will see how the dollar is affecting trade in Thursday's Commerce Department data on the August international trade deficit and September export and import prices.
If the weaker dollar is a concern for the Fed, or if inflation appears to be accelerating in the Labor Department's Friday report on September producer prices, lower rates may not be in store for the market.

it is too quick to tell at this point, imho. I'll look after it trades for about 5 more days since I haven't looked into it much prior to it's open.
Hi East,
In a nutshell, I can give you this link for the past 12 months of review and performance of the IPO's. I'll look thru the list later today or tomorrow afternoon and see if we can find some gems.

BOARD: RE: Stop loss-
I use a stop on my plays, but I play the big boards.
It's been a while since I've traded pinks or otcbb- but am
I correct that most online brokerages wont allow you to have
a stop set on those?
Correct me if I'm wrong. Scottrade is one of my brokers.
tia for your input.
When 25 posts or so are relevant to other tickers/companies, and nothing to do with the company this board was created for-
the posts serve zero purpose here. Wouldn't you agree?
If you'd like more posts on the subject of this board, then please post them. :)
I have deleted nothing relevant to XLPI.
............and am pretty friendly, imho, lol.
Dear NKE and BX- THANK YOU:

I was happy when BX pulled back. Nice low average and I'm green- phhhhhhhhew!:

I'd really appreciate it. Thank you.
Hi Rollin. Nope most IPOs have a late start. Typically about an hour after the morning bell.
I've seen them open all over the place though, fwiw.
FAT CATS 60,000th POST COMING SOON!
One month ihub subscription to its poster, compliments of the mods :)
Board: Just because I don't post here doesn't mean I'm an absent moderator.
I've removed a lot of off topic posts lately and ask that those who do post here-
to please keep it in relation to the company or the industry/sector of the company.
I'm not asking for much and appreciate your help.
There are plenty of non stock-specific boards. I will always recommend my favorite (Fat Cats)- but please find one that is
a good fit for you to discuss your other securities.
Thanks for your understanding.

Drug Runners Recruit Mr. Potato Head

SYDNEY, Australia (Oct. 4) - Customs officers discovered nearly 10.5 ounces of ecstasy tablets hidden inside a Mr. Potato Head toy sent to Australia from Ireland, the agency said Thursday.
Upon opening the parcel, the officers were greeted with the smiling face of the popular children's toy, which features a potato-like head and removable facial features. But when they removed a panel from the back of the toy, the officers found 10.34 ounces of ecstasy in a plastic bag.

I spoke with Marani just now and they are going to pass the information about the Press Release on to the relevant people (presumably the attorneys).
The woman answering the phone doesn't know much, but I explained that it was important the information got to the relevant parties.

exactly the ploy, imho. What are the chances the company needs some cheap shares? Then they can issue a statement later in the day saying they're "going after the fraudulent party that issued the pr" and let it go back up........(without fronting
acutal legal expenses)
Call me a skeptic but....
I think there were more than one penny companies that have done something like this.
