CEF/gold...
yea, I suspect it's just about ready to
make that move above 700...I'm seeing
all those adds on TV trying to get people
to send in all their old gold for the
REALLY BIG MONEY.
I shutter to think what those poor folks
are really getting on the dollar.
catmaniac
PS...who was that crack head football player
who melted down a $5k superbowl ring for
$1.5k in COLD HARD CASH ?
Barnum was SOOOooo right, there's one born
EVERY MINUTE !
Erin Burnett...
I guess I'd better not say what I'D LIKE
to do to her.
catmaniac
PS...more than ONCE !
gold eagles...
as long as you can keep them out of the hands
of the crack head teenager two houses down.
catmaniac
PS...it's not tax free, of course, but my
best gold play to date has been...CEF.
Those Canadians have had this fund around
since ETF's were just a twinkle in some
hedge fund managers eye.
I just wish I was better at spotting someone
going against the grain and shorting a stock.
That's why, most of the time...watching the
way that NITE moves can be very helpful in
seeing which way the pps is going to move.
It's not 100% effective, of course, if it
was...I'd already be living in Aruba.
He can hop around a good bit but he's just
to big to be ignored.
catmaniac
PS...to tell ya the truth, with crude @ just
under $80...I don't understand why the WHOLE
sector is getting SLAMMED lately ? I see
gold is up this morning so the market is still
pretty nervous...I think it's the BERNAKIE BLUES !
what criteria do you use for selecting 'worthy'
companies to track...I mean...there is so much
JUNK down here, or is quality of no importance ?
catmaniac
PS...sorry, I know that I DO tend to go...on.
ying n yang...
to be sure for me...I'm sorry to hear of that
deal's implosion...YING
but then...
I'm ALL OUT...YANG !
I wasn't sure if this wasn't some kind of
float crunch that sent the PPS up or if
it was some kind of inside news breaking
on the Ocean Beach deal...if you are
correct about OB then, in all probability
this last run up was some serious shorting
going on just to clear the books.
Those three big red candles make more and
more sense as I type.....
That OB deal was a major part of my calculations
here...future growth, don't ya know ?
I have to work the day job tomorrow...I
guess I'd better back that GTC down a bit ?
This company is STILL a goer, mind you,
but...bad news IS...
bad news.
catmaniac
PS..though, the "news" you posted was just an
"update" and the "update" just confirmed news
from February...it didn't show any REAL updates..
TO DATE. If I was a LONG, until the company
announced that the other shoe has hit the floor,
I wouldn't be panicing or anything like that...
I KNOW...why don't you call your friend and
dish us up some _NEW_ NEW...s ?
I'll be back online by 2pm tomorrow or I wouldn't
have taken the call...that'll give us ALL just enough
time to move our GTC's back down to .09....
better yet, why be charitable...
make that .075...with a trailing stop.
I can't share my charts with y'all...I use
SSPro with Schwab and Stockshare...but
with stockshare, I tinker with a float
turnover tool and it shows you are quite
right...we are at pivot point with regards
to the float turn over...and it's JUST
about ready to turn over....as I read it.
HOWEVER..
My SSPro charting shows that all the
indices are still breaking down.
The SSPRo LII feed absolutely SUCKS,
if you compare it to APTD, but it is
now showing that NITE is continuing
to walk this PPS down...HE's been
on the top of the pole on the ask
side, selling his ass off for THREE
DAYS now, only switchin spots with
ETRD when his legs get tired...
the candles don't lie..
lower opens, lower closes.
That does NOT bode well for the longs.
He's still backin up on the bid side
@ .21 TOO and I'd agree that there IS a
lot of support @ .20 but then...for the
last two nights there was a lot of support
@ .22....and .24 before THAT ???
I'm stickin to my guns and standing
tall on my .17 buy back...BUT...
NOT all in, mind ya, JUST a buy back.
The actual valuation per share here is
STILL.....$00.11.
I have to work the DAY JOB tomorrow.
I'm sure that I'll come home to a
gap UP and a close @ .35 but then,
at least I'd have something to CRY
about ALL WEEKEND !
GLTY'all but...my GTC @ .17 stands.
catmaniac
PS..YES...today's DOJI did make me
pour this second cocktail tonight !
The CHEAP stuff...STILL !
but aS I've alwAys said...
stick with what works...
even if she's...REAL...ugly.

08/01/07 S-8's
At the risk of being excesivly...chatty.
After all, I just re-subed up, but going
through these listes was something I used
to look forward to everyday. I realize
the focus of this list is on very small
cap stocks that can be cheaply leveraged...
I've always believed the basic principles
that apply here are....universal. It's
a text book study of supply and demand.
SURE, it's NOT perfect, no 'system' ever
is...those pinkies can kill ya even if you
have a majik wand !
BUT, I enjoyed running the numbers on all
of the s-8 companies...I think of it as
fishing...sure...I may be AFTER trout,
but does that mean your going to throw
all the SALMON BACK ???
CNST and RADN, on casual yahoo/Stockshare
scaning of this nights list, these two
caught my eye for future plunder.
I can't figure out WHY RADN had to S-8..
didn't read their filing yet, their numbers
look pretty good to me...And...
CNST....though beat up and bleeding looks
like it might be one to whatch closely after
the s-8 takes it's toll...they are making
the right moves now to fix things. This
might end up being a nice global defensive
play down the road...we are always going to
WANT STUFF and stuff comes in STUFF.
ALL THIS got me thinking...what criteria do
you use for selecting 'worthy' companies to
track...death spirals are hopless....AND..
who makes the choice.
I'm new enough AGAIN to be clueless...though
I have to say...what I miss most about the
swamp isn't the gators, or the snakes, or
even the blood thirsty BUGS...it's the wading
around...to find the jewel in the muck.
It makes ya feel like CAPTAN JACK...but
with good teeth !
catmaniac
PS...In fact, I've wondered why this 'float'
analysis can't be used on these higher priced
stocks that are optionable ? There are as many
ways to get leverage as there are ways to skin...
a cat.
2/8/07
That was their first rejection...I seem to
remember reading SINCE then that they went
back to the City with ammended plans that
they were very receptive to ?
Seems like they moved further off shore and
reduced the impact to just ONE pipe running
through an easily accessed part of town.
I'm sure I"ve read that SINCE Feb. ?
catmaniac
GETC...
It's low volume but has a reasonalbly
low OS @ 67m. MOST of my coal position
is in ICO...yea, OUCH...but my wild
money coal is making up for my
'serious money' with GETC...the left
over hippie in me likes the "green"
aspect of this one as well...their
bio-cleaning process cleans the coal
BEFORE it's burned, eliminating alot
of the downside to coal BEFORE it is
even processed. The owner has a big
stake and they have a SUBSTANTIAL
amount of domstic coal that was to
dirty to burn, and clean up coal. I'm
not sure about their holdings in Argentina...
I was just wondering if anyone else here
has been tracking this Bio/Coal play...
if so, I'd be happy to swap lies with ya.
catmaniac
cool pic...
I have two 400 year old mossy live oaks to sit
under...(I often wonder how many people have
sat on this high ground, near the river, since
Columbus came west...
I only wish I knen how to upload pics
like yours, I'd show um to ya ???
I haven't been able to locate the tab that
allows ya to enter signatures to my text ?
HOW YOU DO DAT ?
catman....ISYA
PS...nice grass man...I go though TWO of
those bales EVERY YEAR. They don't do
much for ME but they get my garden REALLY
HIGH !!!
B^P
ongo...I hate it when this happens...
This has happened sooOoo many times...
I wonder if I'll EVER learn...I read
about a flipper, ease on in, and it
WORKS...
THEN...
Instead of being a FLIPPER, I start to
READ !
And the more I read, the greedier that
I GET !!! AHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHHAHAH
The ONLY thing that I DON"T like when
I'm reading is the amount of s-8's
TWO on the same page of SEC filings
IS pretty scary...but then...that's
ALL I see that I do NOT like, and
the timing is perfect for a techie
like this.
Somebody PLEASE come over to my
house and slap some SENSE into me !!!
catmaniac
PS...It SURE was refreshing to see
warrants issued at a price TWICE as
high a the average trading price...
AND they appear to have had lots of
buyers...
GREED..such an UGLY BEAST !
AAAAAAAAAAAHAHHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAH
TIDE is REAL...
I agree Charlie, that is why I'm so nevous
being ALL OUT ! I promised myself I'd
hold on to a core 10k shares but...
I got nervous and I listen to my gut
these days...what the heck...you just
CAN'T BITCH about a 100% return when
taking profits ruthlessly. Down
here ya lose MORE money holding on
than bein nimble...
TIME WILL TELL Charlie but my funds
settle tomorrow on the sales from
Monday so I'll be getting pretty
hungry...I may start to peck away
@ .20
See ya later, it's miller time.
yea but...where it the bid support ?
I see a nice clump @ .2o but I'm not to
sure HOW to read the LII now that the
MM's can SHORT at ANY TICK ????
beyond .20/.19...(how we know those are NOT
shorts, I don't know ?)I don't see ANY until
it hits .12.
I ask you...why pay a premium ?
My math shows book value @ .11, as primative
as it is.
catmaniac
PS...my Daily(140days) shows the 50dayma @ .16.
I'm not being TO optomistic having a GTC order in
@ .17, do ya think ?
I understand your frustration with Smith Charlie
BUT...why didn't you SELL OUT when he issued all
those warrents @ .17 a share last year. Companies
DO what companies HAVE TO DO and the CEO is just
at the helm. He raised a TON of money so that
the company could...MOVE ON. How could he have
been able to make the deals that he's made on
the profits his existing pipelines are producing
now ? I know it's, ALL ABOUT THE FUTURE when it
comes to investing but if you are TRADING you
just can't afford to ignore what is right in
your face...those big issues HURT. IF you are
an INVESTOR it shouldn't matter as you are only
interested in LONG TERM PROFITS...who cares
WHERE it goes tomorrow if it ends up where you
want it FIVE YEARS from now.
On the other hand, if you are TRADING and don't
want to get singed, you ignore those postings
at your OWN PERIL.
NOT trying to be NEGATIVE here, just puttin
in my two cents on this particular stock.
catmaniac
PS..personally, that is how I came up with an
entry level when I got out way back when...they
issued those warrants at that price, if I recall ?
THE SHARES you see hitting the market NOW are
a combination of people like ME taking profits
out and some of those warrants getting sold,
though it HAS been a LONG time since I read
that filing, I'm NOT really SURE exactly WHEN
they will ALL hit the market but...HIT IT THEY
WILL !!! You can be sure of that.
Anyone here followin me here ???
Do ya know WHEN they will hit..?..they usually
go out for a couple of years and it's BEEN
about a year since they were first issued.
ALL A MOOT point if the company continues it's
great GROWTH RATE, don't ya think ?
I'm NOT currently holdin ANY shares here though
so you can take what I say with as many grains
of salt as you like.
.
Take my advice, don't listen to ME !
I agree Chas...negative input can be distracting...
BUT, just having no faith in management is
no reason not to trade a position...though...
BAD MANAGEMENT can KILL a long position.
I was BADDLY burned by those guys at MMIO...
got in after their first R/S and beleived
their hype when ANOTHER TRILLION shares hit
the market...another R/S is ineveitable.
I foolishly took the long side of a bad
manager.
Works both ways though...I think the folks
running CTKH are idiots, but I don't think
they are THEIVES...I've been there for a
few YEARS and still believe I'll turn a
buck on their growth...I've taken profits
there once already then added to my free
shares.
With that said...good management really
IS a HUGE DEAL !
catmaniac
PS...I REALLY HOPE this hits my buy back
target of .17. I think this is a GREAT
long play...eventually. If news of Long Beach
breaks before then, I'll have to jump off the
nearest bridge.....THOUGH, I've learned
from coming to Ihub that you have to be nimble
and take profits early at this level or you
WILL get CRUSHED. Playin with house money as
SOON as you can is an important piece of the
puzzle...I got out completely because I've
missed several chance to take profits here
since it hit .17 the first time, last Feb/March.
I got out way back when they issued warrants
SOME time ago around a buck...and put a gtc in
@ .17 cause that's were I figured it would bottom...
after it filled, I did some NEW math and .11 was
where I figured it to bottom...it got to .09
as I recall ? STILL, it bounced a few times
before this last little run and I got that
feeling in my stomac that you get when you
DO NOT take profits and it slides back down...
I decided that I was feeling that way with
my last 10k @ .25 the other day and bailed
when I saw NITE drop down to .17 on the bid
side several times on Monday. I'm most likely
having GLUE flash backs, heeh(not really)hehe,
and am totally WRONG about this but I have a
feeling we well see .17 again.
JUST FOR THE RECORD...I think this last little
spurt was mostly do to the fact that they
got the FERC permits and the fact that NG
has hit a bottom. HECK...oil is @ almost
80 bucks a barrel...what's NOT to like about
energy..unless you are like me and JUMPED
ALL OVER CFK....YESTERDAY !!!
OUCH...lost over a buck and a half over
night !!! Almost twenty percent in three
days...DOUBLE OUCH !
"You must have found it interesting enough to check in..."
are you KIDDING...this was the FIRST PLACE THAT I CHECKED
when I resubed...I went to JAIL cuase of how worked up this
stight got me one day !!! AHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHA
I lost a BOATLOAD of money on this one...it was a WHOLE
semester in the school of hard knocks.
I have SOME conselations though...I was NOT ALONE !
catmaniac
PS...justice is a relative thing...everything we do in
this life catches up with us...eventually. I know that
MY heart has always been in the right place and yet
I've hurt people along the way...STILL...I am SURE
glad that I won't be in URBANS SHOES when it comes
time for the....great unveiling. I suspect he won't
get past St. Peter, much less the pearly gates...
but then...
who am I to judge HIM...I was stupid enough to....
BUY HIS STOCK !!!! HAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAH
PSS...besides, didn't I read somewhere that some
other company ended up with his lease and DID
FIND SOME DIAMONDS ???
PSSs...ok, so I'm just kidding, in the world
of the bloody pink sheets though............
ya just NEVER KNOW !
LYNCH MOBS...
Janice, it's so nice to see you are still here !
I can't tell you how nice it is to see that
you were not the evil basher that everyone
had you out to be but, in the end, you just
ended up being...RIGHT !
I shoulda listened to ya...my ignorance cost
me 10k, BUT, at least there is an UP side
for ME anyway. I have this way of justifying
my biggest losses. I ended up with some
REALLY cool looking paper on the wall with
LOTS of zeros on it AND it's ALREADY saved
me a TON OF MONEY. Everytime I think about
buyin a pink stock, I just....LOOK UP and...
REMEMBER !!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHHHA
I actually DID have as much fun trading, or
should I say OWNING that stock, I never
was able to actually TRADE any, though I
DID try. I could have taken the grandkids
to Disneyland and been just as broke but
ended up with sore feet and not great
stories to tell about the being involved
in the BIGGEST SWINDLE of ALL TIME !!!
catman....ISYA
PS...I was just talking with someone
the other day about the GOOD OLD DAYS,
when these CEO's didn't get out of town
FAST enough and everyone could take out
their anger ripping up railroad rails,
stapping them down and covering them
with OIL AND FEATHERS...yea...they just
don't DO justice the way PaPa used to...
I sure miss those days.
=/B^P
(I can't beLIEVE he's not in the slammer
YET ??? What gives with THAT...or is he
hidding back in Canada ???)
I mean, what's the good in a HUGE mansion
on the golf course in Lost Wages if you
can't LEAVE THE HOUSE ????
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA
There should be a "special" place for
guys like him...and O.J. Maybe a crappy
PAR THREE course where you have to CARRY
your OWN CLUBS !!!
All the carts have flats after the first
hole.
hahahhahhaha....
nice reply...ahhhahdhd as I recall...
I spent MY time in cell block c !
catmaniac
PS...never could get matt to laugh about
it though, OR appologise to me for that matter...
he didn't even LAUGH when I suggested it !!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHHAHAHAHHHAHHAHAH
I was an administrator once...it takes
up a LOT OF TIME...laughin has to be
kept to a minimum.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAHHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAH
GOSH...SERIOUSLY...just as I typed that a
HUGE lightening bolt EXPLODED right outside
my window...sorry Matt. I won't make any
more jokes on at your expense...ever.
Just don't fry my cow...She's standin out
there in the field wondering what's NEXT !?!??!
I'm not tempting fate to let her back in the
barn ! I haven't been gone THAT LONG !
Nice call...paid for my subscription here
with the first swing of the bat.
=/B^D
I missed the insights that I got from the
cool people here more than any other aspects
of trading...losing money sure gets OLD !!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHA
If I learned ANYTHING around here it was
to take profits...it's PAPER...not LOVE.
Ya have to be able to let go.
I must be doing sumpin wrong...
evertime I go to EDGAR they want me to
log in...I wrote them about it and
she sent me to the link in the next
posts Gov.org and it sent me BACK TO
EDGAR !!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHHAHAHHAHHAHHAH
I forgot about Pinksheets.com...they
were a MESS when I quit trading and
OTCBB was all I used...the shoe is
on the other foot now...with the "filings"
tab there not working, I went to Pinksheets
and they have a GREAT site now.
THANKS for your feed back though..I'll
go back and try and sort out atedgar.com.
I must have missed something but the tabs
I used all asked me to log in...I dont' mind
signin up but they want 200 bucks a YEAR !
catmaniac
PS...they DO have some GREAT services though...
like email notifications...ongo hits 1.4 and
I'm IN THERE !!!
ehehhehehe
If it were NOT for ICO and CFK, not to mention
KONG...I'd be there NOW !
CFK...OUCH. Now I know how my dawg felt when
we go him FIXED !!! HAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAH
Filings...
I'm having a hard time locating filings these days...
I've spent a while tonight looking around and OTCBB site
no longer gives me them...Edgar wants --200-- bucks a
YEAR to look at them. Yahoo doesn't LIST them ALL...I've
been burned counting on them before...????
Is there a FEE FREE and ACCURATE source of SEC filings ?
You would THINK that ACCESS to PUBLIC records SHOULD be
FREE...but it looks like yet ANTOHER site paid for
with tax dollars has been outsourced ???
My broker, Schwab, doesn't even have them anywhere.
Thanks forward for any insight you can give here.
Kinda hard getting back into the saddle...lots has
changed but other things that I THOUGHT would have
changed are JUST THE SAME...looks like the Nekid
shorters are still having a field day, totally
supported by the SEC. BUT, the MM'S can SHORT
on ANY tick now...I'm not sure WHAT that's going
to do to the Lll info...it' looks like the
technical stuff is all that matters here and we
all know how easily that is manipulated....
STILL a CRAP shot, I reckon...
home sweet home...
CASINO !!!
catmaniac
PS...I'm still pretty much in the third world here.
I didn't lose EVERYthing in the storm...but I lost
EVERYTHING ELSE ! Home on the bayou, just off the
beach, gone...all the rentals...gone. If I hadn't
bought this 150yr old farmhouse from my family years
ago..I'd be sleeping in a fema trailer with everyone else.
I've been working off of a laptop for nearly two
years on a DIAL up line that ran down the ditch,
every time someone parked their car, I'd be out of
service for a week or two...heehheh...I finally
broke down and bought a dish but have to BUY
bandwidth...it's all I can do to keep my trading
program turned on at Schwab, I don't DARE download any
pictures or big files, I can't trade for 24 hours
and have to go to the LIBRARY to check my positions !
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHHAHAHHAH
A nightmare came to my town two years ago and....
NEVER LEFT !
TwoHundredThirtyEightThousandNineHundredFiftyTWO POST !!!!
And y'all are STILL at each other...I can't beleive people
are still even talking about this heart breaker...and
hearts it did break...to be sure.
It didn't break mine but it turned it to stone...to
be sure. I still have an envelope FULL of this useless
paper.
I remember when we talked about this being either the
BEST THING TO EVER HIT THE PINKS or the BIGGEST SCAM
of all time.
I guess we know NOW which way THIS one went !!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAH
catmaniac
PS...what EVER can there be left to talk about here ?
TIDE...I see it made your list...
I took profits and now look to
re-enter @ .17 or below...ya
think I should have held on to that
last 10k ?
CFK ??? WAS to report 'after hours'...
I'm about to vomit waiting for these numbers.
I waded back in a little early today @ 10.75...
and was out on the ledge by lunch time @ 10.01.
They're call is in the morning...how MUCH AFTER
do you think they will release them ? NOT
that there is much that I can do about it NOW
but...I'd sleep better.
Isn't it unusual for them NOT to come out before
5pm eastern time ?
ANYbody ?
Post number three...
Glad to see this board is still here...
I used to follow it every day, until
Katrina kicked me in the testicals.
I've got my wind back now though, and
I'm...BACK IN THE SADDLE AGAIN.
Just posted to say hello to those of
you who are here and contributing.
Gosh, I came here to cry...
But I guess I'm the only one weeping ?
I keep ALMOST making money here...
one of these days, I reckon ?
catman...ISYA
PS...normally I'd be worried about a
CFO leaving but considering who it was...
This is a retail/staples defensive kinda
play for me, I was just currious to see
how many other holders there were here...
I'm the guy standing up waving a white
flag...anybody SEE ME ?
;^)
Out TIDE...AGAIN...after a couple of months.
@ .25
New Order 10k @ .17
