I ment stay in this price range until we have more substantial information from the company, its direction and intentions that's all.(Which by the way I feel will be all good) but this is just my humble opinion. I have no facts or information that would be outside of the realm of all present. Val
27 ask 26 bid, 50 ex 50, this is not as bad as it was yesterday. Seems to be a much better trading stability. Volume is normal. We should stay until we have new information.
Excellent time to accumulate, or to enjoy the fresh snow. val
We were doing just fine until you got here! You need to get new numbers, hopefully that will help! But You Never Know! We might do better tomorrow! So, on second thought, keep your numbers and we'll see what happens tomorrow!
Agreed, and many other great companies, there seems to be a vast horizon of intellectually sourced talent that will be combined. This will be what I consider "the wave of the future".
The more they acquire, the more leverage, the more the ability! Should be fun to watch. Have a great rest of the day. val
Thank you, it's much more fun to share both good and bad days with someone of the same emotion and excitement towards a common goal and interests,
I hope to be here for some time and am looking forward to watching this company develop. You have already been here for quite some time, that's to my advantage, and much appreciated. Val
Thanks harr, that will help when talkig with others about why I'm in this stock. I don't know about the old co. nor do I care to. By the way you are doing a great job on this board with facts,DD,ect,, well done,, val
The sooner we stabilize, the sooner they have to let it move up (or get caught) so I say we let it shake, pr did over 101mm vol most 3+, and that seems to be the bottom (25/3) I forsae no bad news at all,, 100mil in 2yrs and then a mil. a year after that, I have looked at plz site it looks good, and has been in BATA till now. I think people don't realise what is really going on here, I got a PM asking about a PM they got telling them PLKC is a SCAM,,, well PLKC is a whole new co. there is NO PLKC,, flip it on news, but you may not get it back,, I'm knotching up from here,and by the end of the week shares will be more stable and harder to come by. When the BIG money comes (they don't care about 5 or 10cents)they spend 10 to 20k on lemo service,, go and find any pink or ob that thinks the are going to do 100mil in the next 2yrs and 100mil ayear after that, with a CFO that knows what he's talking about,, CUZ, I want TO BE IN that one too!
That would be my guess, it's a total JOKE, 3tic spreds everywhere,,,,,. Well I'm long on this one, and see very good things about it, they can and have made things happen,(very good things) in a short amount of time,, CEO is looking to add 100m in two years, pull 10m out of pluggz (no pun intended) working with some REAL BIG CO.s,,with a CC coming new webpage, symbol change, and some real numbers,,, This is a SLAMDUNK,, I just really wanted to se the mms get kicked on this one,, CUZ of what they have done to it,,,,, just venting CUZ they wont FILL me,, while they fill each other,,, Val
RATS,, there she goes,, should close green and alot of covering done, some weak hands gone, and I did get filled all the way
this ones is about as safe as I can find down here, HUGE upside possible,,, No trees down yet but the wind sure kicked up,, I'm glad you're green, and yes IMO your are in a much better situation here,, val
There pulling it down harr, you don't think there is no one with an order in, THERE ARE NOT SELLING IT they are holding.
there is a lot more to like here, this is a one in a million merger,, just look what they did in one month, then look who is running the show,BOD, then look who is on the Ihub board look at the Ibox,, and if you can get any in mid 2s I would think about getting in,,, JMO, val
there goes 1.7m at the ask its red, they are covering, who else gets 1.7m in one order? I can't get onefor 700K
350K at the bid,, that looks like a cover to ME,, all NITE stocks have a 2 tic spered,, WHAT DO YOU THINK? I wouldn't be selling cheap here!, They(mms) are thanking God right now a meaty PR didn't come out this AM JMO val
ok, if you say so
That is HUGE
my hope is we stay in this range, and climb at the good old 45degree angle, makes accumulation much safer IMO
Oh' I get it know,, silly me,,,, GZZZZZZZZ!
Just look at the number of your post. I would say that's a very lucky number, if I were you I would jump in as soon as possible, just my opinion! Val
I agree, and if they had laboratory tests proven factual this would be helpful to the skeptics. But at this time all we have is road tests.
My hope is they will take time and money and invest it in lab tests. At that point their percentages would be facts and not opinions.
We all know the benefits of good gas mileage but proving it is much different in controlled laboratory situations, then against road testing. At this point I believe automakers will have to see the actual results of lab testing. Thanks for the note,, Val
new days coming,,,,,, Energy Plan Pushes Automakers on Mpg
Saturday December 1, 11:28 pm ET
By Ken Thomas, Associated Press Writer
Groundbreaking Energy Deal in Congress to Push Auto Industry on Fuel-Efficiency
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The groundbreaking deal in Congress to raise mile-per-gallon standards will compel the auto industry to churn out more fuel-efficient vehicles on a faster timeline than the companies wanted, though with flexibility to get the job done.
ADVERTISEMENT
The auto industry's fleet of new cars, sport utility vehicles, pickup trucks and vans will have to average 35 mpg by 2020, according to the agreement that congressional negotiators announced late Friday. That compares with the 2008 requirement of 27.5 mpg average for cars and 22.5 mpg for light trucks. It would be first increase ordered by Congress in three decades.
Majority Democrats plan to include the requirement in broader energy legislation to be debated in the context of $90-per-barrel oil, $3-plus pump prices and growing concerns about climate change. The House plans to begin debate this week.
"It is a major milestone and the first concrete legislation to address global warming," said Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif.
While Senate Democrats were quick to embrace the compromise, the energy bill may face problems over requirements for nonpublic electric utilities to produce 15 percent of their power from renewable energy sources such as wind or solar.
Sen. Pete Domenici, R-N.M., on Saturday said that idea "will make this bill untenable for many in the Senate."
Environmentalists have sought stricter mileage standards for years, saying that is the most effective way to curb greenhouse gas emissions and oil consumption.
The energy bill will help accelerate plans by automakers to bring more fuel-efficient technologies to conventional engines and alternatives such as gas-electric hybrids and vehicles running on ethanol blends. For the first time, for example, manufacturers will receive credits for building vehicles running on biodiesel fuel.
Domestic automakers and Toyota Motor Corp. vehemently opposed a Senate bill approved passed in June that contained the same mileage requirements and timeline. They warned the measure would limit the choice of vehicles, threaten jobs and drive up costs.
The companies backed an alternative of 32 mpg to 35 mpg by 2022. At the time, Chrysler LLC executive Tom LaSorda told employees the Senate bill would "add up to a staggering $6,700 -- almost a 40 percent increase -- to the cost of every Chrysler vehicle."
But the compromise worked out by Rep. John Dingell, D-Mich., House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate leaders, maintains a significant boost in mileage standards while giving the industry more flexibility and certainty as they plan new vehicles.
The proposal would continue separate standards for cars and trucks, extend credits for producing vehicles that run on ethanol blends, and allow automakers to receive separate credits for exceeding the standards and then apply those credits to other model years.
Michigan lawmakers secured an extension of the current 1.2 mpg credit for the production of each "flexible fuel" vehicle, capable of running on ethanol blends of 15 percent gasoline and 85 percent ethanol. Without the extension, the credits may have run out by 2010, but under the deal, they will be phased out by 2020.
The United Auto Workers union also won a provision intended to prevent companies from shifting production of less profitable small cars to overseas plants. At stake are an estimated 17,000 jobs.
The House's energy bill, approved in August, did not include mileage standards, and lawmakers had worked since then to include them.
Rick Wagoner, General Motors Corp.'s chairman and chief executive, said the new rules would "pose a significant technical and economic challenge to the industry." He said GM would tackle the changes "with an array of engineering, research and development resources."
GM, Chrysler and Ford Motor Co. have announced plans to double their production by 2010 of flex-fuel vehicles. Toyota has said it will bring the option to the Tundra pickup.
Among hybrids, Toyota has dominated the market with the Prius, but several automakers are beginning to bring the technology to large SUVs and pickups.
Environmental groups estimate the deal would save the country 1.2 million barrels of oil per day by 2020 while helping motorists save at the pump.
"Cars are going to be more attractive to consumers because they won't cost as much to own and operate," said David Doniger, director of the climate center for the Natural Resources Defense Council.

The heat is on and new thing are coming, faster then most think,,,val
Thanks NYPD<<<<<
I have been doing some DD on long term otcbbs,, they are very rare, thees days. Since 1993 I have only bought 2 in my whole life,(which)I still own, PLKC is one (and I think it's a Miracle I'm here)In the last 6 mounths of this year I decided to go to the forbidden PINK/OB zone,,, I have been "Big Bordes" all the way DELL,YAHOO,NOVL,GNTA,ect,, anyway most people stay in thoes for 6mo, to 1yr and longer,, down here it's 6min to 6mon, (witch I think is fine) I know alot of traders who make a lot more money then I(for sure)and they are good at it,,, But the one thing I see here is the MMs abilities to maintain manipulation & magnification of actual facts of co.s that the CEOs don't even know about. SO if I'm out of line here (MOD) let me know,,But I kinda want to show these MMs up a little at there own game,,
We are on the groundfloor of what I think could be a very lucrative co., not many people know about it, "right now" (PLKC)soon to be symbol changed,, which helps........
Of course, MMs aggressively deny any sort of collusion designed to fix quotes or spreads, but a recent SEC investigation tells another story.
MMs have a vast resource of tactics and it would take probably more than my lifetime to figure them all out.
So how do investors somehow manage to overcome the obvious deception in OTCBB arena? One answer is indirection trading style by going long which the MMs do not expect. In the war between investors and public companies on the OTC BB vs the MMs, if the MMs have all the advantages due to position or other factors, direct confrontation such as momentum or day trading hitting the stock is a definite death sentence.
However, an indirect approach tends to weaken the path of least resistance before slowly overcoming it. The most effective way is long-term investors slowly accumulating and holding thus drawing the MMs out of its defenses making them as naked as their short position. This is war so this slow accumulation and holding for the long term easily achieves the desired effect to force MMs to cover and knock off the tactics or bury themselves deeper.
The MMs when caught will especially use every trick and tactic in the book to get a Bear Raid thus playing on the individual fear of most people. The MMs feel they have information and position advantages over the investors as long as the holding of the stock is in weak hands or short term holders. Since they are OTC BB MMs who believe all OTCBB companies are not worth investing and management is ineffective regardless what is happening within the company. Furthermore, MMs know they are in the position to impose a great deal of influence in OTC BB stocks trading when it suits their needs.
This inherent power of position enables the MMs to move the markets at any time up or down. As a result, the only way to draw them out of their favorable position is going long. Now this does not mean just any company but to effectively nail the MMs, Longs must find the (great company on the floor) and accumulate long before the MM tactics and games begin.
No, not where I live just cold and wet,, one of those stay inside movie days. We have snow up on the pass though,, have a great weekend,, Val
Just putting up a report, didn't realize the simplicity of it's maturity level would offend anyone. I'm very sorry, and will try to be more sensitive to those whom take offence at simple unbiased information,, val
JUST ONE MORE,,got this from a friend on another board,,,,
this could help with this stock for-sure
The savvy long-term investors never chase stocks up. For the most part that is momentum players and daytraders where most of it or what follows is dumb money. Instead the long-term investors use a couple of simple strategies in order to position themselves. One is to find a stock no one immediately sees has huge potential and accumulate. Long-term investors are not interested in trading against the public mind or the dumb money. That's where the majority of the money can be made but even more can be made if the base of a stock is held extremely strong by investors. However the second is not to doubt the research which is the underlying basis for going long and holding.
More and more investors are winning the game nowadays despite all bashers that float through the Internet that has become part of the game. Floor traders of market makers often watch CNBC, news wires and bulletin boards in order to follow the market during trading session. OTC BB market makers (MMs) don't use fundamental and technical analysis. However, what they do realize is a lot of dumb money does use this newest nitch charting or TA (Technical Analysis) to run a stock either up or down. To the MMs this is like taking candy from a baby. Simply they will paint the tape and use whatever tactic to affect the charting bands. Thus the public and dumb money they will have eating out of their hands. Effectively the MMs can show a strong stock growing weak by manipulating the close price in order to generate selling volume, delaying trading time to manipulate trading activities, or even stalling the ask without honoring orders to hold a stock price.
MMs follow a simple code of business when making a market in a stock
especially an OTC BB. That is the level that stocks will seek that yields the
most volume. Now this is very important because they make money on the volume buying at the bid and selling at the ask. In other words, by making the market they are buying low and selling high. Now smart money adheres to that rule, so do all the market makers. They could careless whether the stock is at $83 or at $0.23. All they care about is the action thus being able to sell stock at the offer (The high) and buy stock at the bid (The low). To increase their profitability, they make the spread as great as possible on as many shares as they can especially if the volume falls off.
When they have mostly all "buy" orders, that's not the price that's going to
yield the most volume. They need both buy and sells to get the maximum action. Remember, MMs play the volume. If the volume decreases and there are mostly Buys that become a one way volume, Buy volume. So what they do is let the stock run up to a price where it runs out of steam. They fill all the buy orders there that they can and then comes the pullback one way or another naturally or induced. During the pull back they can buy tons of shares and flip them to those averaging down or trying to catch the bounce. At some price, the stock will be relatively stable and yield the most volume. Now that is the average price you will see
The average price is the point where a stock seeks a level where MMs can
profit on the most volume. So during the day that is the price that MMs and
momentum/day traders want to see the stock at. Why? Because they know the public and dumb money was chasing the price thing up. Most of the time, the MMs love a flurry of Market Orders which is a dead sign of an artificial run or momentum. Merely it is money in the bank for them. Most get hung in a momentum or day trade or by the tactics of Market makers, who are in the business to screw the public every chance they get and the NASD is not going to do anything about it. They are merely making the market liquid is there reasoning.
The market makers have created an added complication to the OTCBB's chaos of the already volatile intra-day price movements created by dumb money, momentum and day-traders. MMs can not relate to long-term holders in the OTC BB. That makes absolutely no sense what so ever. They feel a large percentage of trades in the OTC BB market consist of short-term or day-trades, MMs merely view the barrage of buy and sell orders as relatively neutral to the market. How they figure it is when the average dumb money buys shares in a company, the MMs feel or rather know with some certainty it is very likely that dumb money will want to sell back those shares relatively quick on the slightest drop.
Now somewhat comfortable with this logic the MMs merely short sells into the buying and attempts to take the stock down in an effort to "shake out" the weak. Since it is tough to know for sure whether a move is the beginning of a trend, or a routine shake out, this type of deception works quite well for the MMs. What the long-termers do to a stock is surprise the MMs because instead of falling the shorting has no effect and the price goes up. Now that puts the MM at selling low through shorting and thus having to buy high in order to cover.
Boy, when this happens, the MMs are not very happy campers. The investors and traders are supposed to be doing that not them. Now it becomes time to pull out every trick and tactic in the book in order to attempt to get a Bear Raid at every dollar mark or percent from where the stock started. Could be a penny in smaller priced securities? What MMs do is give you a chance to make a small amount of money for your momentum and day trading style by shorting it at these levels and trying to get a bear raid each time. Each failure is compounding the MMs short position so they let it go to the next level. Now come more deliberate tactics MMs use to coerce Bear Raid or panic selling.
Once the MM is caught short and the strength of the buy is overpowering the MM will want to cover his short position. So the MMs call up one of his friendly MMs and says some like "the weather is sure rough today." The MM along with the other "friendly MM initiates a down tick about the same time. Now this can also be done with a certain amount of shares such as an infamous 100 shares flag. This down tick gives the illusion of weakness designed to hopefully begin the bear raid of selling. The fickle, fearful, day trader, momentum and short term begin to sell out allowing the MM to cover his short position at lower prices. They will move it down quickly to get it to a price of least financial damage. Problem they have is long-term investors in the OTC BB. They start accumulating and buying comes flying in when they take it too far thus the MMs took it to the point of volume again and not only investors the other MMs step in the make money on the spread.
Alas the poor MM does not get to cover. Now comes various tactics like stalling, boxing, or even locking the Bid and Ask for a while.
Of course, MMs aggressively deny any sort of collusion designed to fix quotes or spreads, but a recent SEC investigation tells another story.
MMs have a vast resource of tactics and it would take probably more than my lifetime to figure them all out.
So how do investors somehow manage to overcome the obvious deception in OTCBB arena? One answer is indirection trading style by going long which the MMs do not expect. In the war between investors and public companies on the OTC BB vs the MMs, if the MMs have all the advantages due to position or other factors, direct confrontation such as momentum or day trading hitting the stock is a definite death sentence.
