hey sl......looks like we got some buyers coming in.
2 bids at .11...we haven't seen that in a while.
821,025/730,100 buys/sells
I agree 100%
Triple zero's as in .000
If it is true sl, I wouldn't be surprised to see .20's. It would be a nice christmas present.....As far as the 4pm, I think last time was just a test run to see what would happen, and it FAILED. I'd much rather a BMO on Monday.
I believe that the sequence of events you described actually happened, it's just whether the info is correct or not. I hope it IS more than anything. Thanks for sharing.
That info sounds sooo 3rd hand, but you know what BMP......it does not sound that farfetched at all. If what your saying turns out to be true, your stock on this board just went way up!
I'm getting 217,460/376,547 buy/sell. But that doesn't even matter because the buy/sell was 217,460/58,000 when they took it under .02 which shows me they were looking fr that 260,000 sh jumper they got and will look for some more before bringing it back above .02. That's my guess anyway.
See that....they get a 260,000 sh jumper then NITE raises his offer to .02. This is textbook MM manipulation. I bet we close green today. JMHO
There's no volume bringing it down....that tells me their just looking for jumpers.
Sorry if this was already posted.....it's from Nov. 10.
Barclays a contender in US munis yr after Lehman
Tue Nov 10, 2009 10:26am ES
By Karen Pierog
CHICAGO, Nov 10 (Reuters) - Just over a year since Lehman Brothers' municipal bond operation morphed into Barclays Capital, the new name in the muni market has proven to be a contender.
Barclays won its first competitive deal and priced its first negotiated issue in the muni market on Oct. 28, 2008, following its takeover of Lehman's muni business at the end of September 2008.
This October, Barclays ranked fourth among muni senior managers for the month, with nearly $4.7 billion of debt in 22 issues that included a $3.4 billion California economic recovery bond refunding, according to Thomson Reuters data.
Barclays Capital, the investment banking unit of British bank Barclays Plc (BARC.L), has closely matched the performance of Lehman, which dissolved in a bankruptcy filing last year. In the first nine months of 2009, Barclays ranked sixth among senior managers, with $18.2 billion of bonds in 123 deals.
In the same period in 2008, Lehman also ranked sixth, with $22.9 billion of bonds in 188 deals, Thomson Reuters showed.
"We have the same bankers and the same infrastructure," said Jerry Rizzieri, Barclays' head of municipal finance, adding that by being part of a bank, Barclays has also been able to also offer liquidity facilities such as standby purchase agreements and letters of credit.
Many in the $2.7 trillion muni market had fretted that Lehman's demise would hurt liquidity, particularly after Bear, Stearns & Co was folded into JPMorgan Chase & Co (JPM.N) and UBS Securities dissolved most of its municipal operations last year. Both companies were big underwriters and traders of tax-exempt debt.
Frank Hoadley, Wisconsin's capital finance director, called Barclays a "potent force on the Street."
"Barclays has certainly stepped into (Lehman's) shoes as far as the muni market is concerned," he said.
DEMAND FROM OVERSEAS
Minnesota tapped Barclays to lead the state's first negotiated deal last month after a new state law temporarily lifted a requirement for competitive sales and allowed for negotiated general obligation issues through June 30, 2011.
Kathy Kardell, assistant commissioner in the state's management and budget department, said Barclays scored the highest among 17 firms seeking to be senior underwriter in terms of marketing plans and potential pricing levels. Barclays was also an active bidder for the state's competitive bond sales, she said.
Barclays has also made its mark as an underwriter of new kinds of muni debt authorized this year by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, including taxable Build America Bonds (BABs) that give issuers a 35 percent federal rebate on interest costs. Barclays ranked fifth among underwriters by the end of September, with nearly $2.6 billion of bonds in 16 deals.
Rizzieri, the Barclays executive, said taxable munis are expected to make up more than 20 percent of Barclay Capital's long-term credit index by the end of 2010. As a result, investors inside and outside of the United States that are benchmarked to the index will likely need to increase their allocation of taxable munis, including BABs, which Barclays estimates will have total issuance of almost $170 billion.
The index measures performance of the long-term sector of the bond market.
"You'll see more demand from outside the U.S. So far, it's not been a meaningful component of the distribution profile for Build America Bonds," Rizzieri said.

AAAAAAHAHHHHHHGGGGGGGGGG!!!! M%$#%^^%%%$%%%^%^&ers!!!
I tried to buy some BEHL at .0214 at the end but forgot I had an order for another stock and didn't have the funds. Darn.
I know these guys like the back of my hand, they will try to tape the paint....I'm sure.
w8, I can assure you sl takes no joy in anyone losing money. It's just a way of talking....he's a trader and knows how the waves of these kinds of stocks move and that's when you want to jump in. When you see a big selloff on a stock, and it's a good stock that you like, that's your cue to get in. The old money is leaving and the new money hops on board. The old hands that had the intestinal fortitude to hold on usually get rewarded. That was just his way of saying that we are at the bottom end of a cycle and that's what he was feeling good about....not people losing money. In this game some people lose and some win, I would like everyone to win all the time but it's just not how it works. Sl spends hours a day researching and writing for the benefit of shareholders, and has done so since before I knew him in the days of SIRI (late 08' to early 09'), and has helped countless people on those boards recoup losses incurred during the financial crises. We've had to talk eachother off the ledge when it came to BEHL, and I even sold half my position as DF was incoherently telling me in the CC, the future of the stock I was invested in. I have since bought back almost all my shares and I am ready for a nice rise in the SP. I am confident in the future of this company now, I think this train is just starting to gain momentum. gl
The bid is stacked at .021 with 3 MMs. Looking good.
Screwed, if what your saying happens to be the case, I really wouldn't mind at all. I don't care if they put a double wide on the lot as an office and start the production of algae ASAP. The quicker we start getting revenue the quicker we and new investors can start valuating the company. I hear a lot of spot on, imho, speculations on revenue, but it will be good too see some tangible results finally.
Screwed...sl62 would like to give you a huge thank you and so would I. He's maxed out of posts, but you were sharp and on your game today and with DD like that I think you'll be fine in this game. I think that BEHL finally starting construction is why the SP has been reacting the way it has this week, and it's only a glimpse of what's in store for us.
Again Kudos for the keen eye!
I'm still glad we got to finish above .02 and we showed good support most of the day....and best of all we have a confirmed bottom with 4 green days in a row. It just aggravates me the way MMs manipulate the the minute details of the tape.
Buy/Sell......4,447,876/3,703,669
Good for a nice slow steady climb.
Thanks :)
Hindsight is always 20/20 I guess....
Bernanke, In Letter, Offers Broad Definition Of Systemic Risk
By Corey Boles
Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES
WASHINGTON -(Dow Jones)- Federal Reserve Board Chairman Ben Bernanke said "systemic risk" can be broadly defined, saying examples include unsafe amounts of leveraging by banks, gaps in regulatory oversight, and the possibility that the failure of a large inter-connected firm could lead to a breakdown in the wider financial system.
In a letter sent to Sen. Bob Corker (R., Tenn.), the Fed chief weighed into the debate over what should be classified as systemically risky in the context of the overhaul of the financial-regulatory landscape.
Corker is a member of the Senate Banking Committee, and has been involved in discussions about how that panel should tackle regulatory overhaul.
The letter, dated Oct. 30, came after Bernanke met informally with a number of Senate lawmakers to discuss his views on what was needed by the regulatory rewrite.
"Systemic risks are developments that threaten the stability of the financial system as a whole and consequently the broader economy, not just that of one or two institutions," Bernanke said in the letter.
The issue of how to define systemic risk, and then how to manage it, in the new regulatory world being designed by lawmakers has emerged as one of the most hotly contested issues.
In the wake of last year's financial-market meltdown, it became apparent to policymakers and regulators that they didn't have a grasp on the events that led directly to the global economic collapse.
The high exposure to derivatives based on the U.S. housing market, the levels of leveraging of investment banks including Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. (LEHMQ), which was forced into bankruptcy in September 2008, and the near-collapse of American International Group Inc. (AIG) all are now seen as the types of systemic risks that need to be better handled in the future.
In the letter, Bernanke appeared to endorse the view that all prudential regulation of an individual firm, whether or not it is deemed to be systemically important, should be done by a single agency.
But those agencies don't necessarily have the ability to cast an eye around the industry more widely, the letter said. Therefore, the Fed chief also approved of the creation of a council of regulators to broadly oversee risks to the financial marketplace.
"The broader task of monitoring and identifying systemic risks that might arise from the interactions of different types of financial institutions and markets--both regulated and unregulated--may exceed the capacity of any individual supervisor," Bernanke said.
Legislation in both the House and Senate would include creation of such a panel. In the bill being prepared by House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank (D., Mass.), the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Federal Reserve would retain significant control over the council.
The draft bill released last week by Sen. Christopher Dodd (D., Ct.) would give both agencies seats at the table, but the panel would be run by a separate individual, appointed by the president and confirmed by the Senate.
Bernanke, in his letter, didn't express a view of which system he would prefer; the letter was written before Dodd's bill was unveiled.

In their world of 20% yearly portfolio increases I would go along with 10-12% being a modest increase.
You gotta love the activity on this stock today. A dip back to the .01's and then back up to the .02's. I think this move has been confirmed as genuine. Congrats to the people who had the intestinal fortitude to stick this one out.
NITE at .021...I think we might be able to knock down that wall.
This is what you call boxing out for position, and NITE beautifully elbowed their way in to control it right under .02. I think once it touches .02 there could be a buying frenzy as it would be a signal. NITE is trying everything in his power to not let that happen.
Right on sl....I think Big Bake nailed it on that one. It did seem a little rushed at the time and probably why we took a hit at the announcement. I mean not three weeks go by and you announce a merger...what I think happened is that cooler heads prevailed. I'm glad they've taken the wiser path for the moment.
ETMM just dropped his bid but we have 6 legitimate offers highest being .035....not the obligatory .065 that we see usually.
DOMS and ETMM are boxing out NITE with a .018 bid....I don't think NITE will stand for that. Come on with a .0185 bid NITE if you want to be in the game. Lot's of positioning going on this morning....good sign!
Yesterday's 3rd green day woke up a lot of traders, we could see a buying frenzy right out of the gate. DF, if you have good news, and a friend that knows the charts pretty well, I hope he lets you know that now is the perfect time to drop the bomb. Preferrably BMO, at around 9:15. The tide seems to be changing.
Funny...I was going to write a similar post middle of day....but didn't want to jinx it.
4 green candles out of 6. Haven't seen that since the end of July pop. I think what we have here is the beginning of a correction in the SP. I think those pix might have had a positive effect on the sentiment of this stock. Bashers might try to fool novices on the IMPORTANCE of the merger, but it seems as if BEHL is trucking along nicely....merger or no merger. IMHO I would rather BEHL just have a JV with RWE that would be mutually beneficial to eachother. If the synergies work....then decide on a merger. Don't jump into it without looking first. Great Day for BEHL.
Next offer after .0163 is .02. We don't have the V to hit that yet, but it still good to see.
buy/sell 1,618,048/1,073,355
More buys now than sells 1.5/1
ABLE just jumped the bid with .105
HDSN on the bid at .101 and DOMS on the offer at .125, that .08 trade was a bid jumper.
Maybe it's a little judge sarcasm :)
If they were smart they would be buying instead of reading, risk/reward is too good. imho
One for you...one for me
Two for you...one, two for me
Three for you...one, two, three for me
Heads I win...Tails you lose. lol
