You're absolutely correct, of course!
Yet there are those believing this to be an investment potential despite all the real information available.
Crazy in my mind but maybe others find value in this dog that I'm unable to see?
How does one manufacture concrete panels remotely?
And then there's that nonsense about increasing the payroll from three to six.
How many mothers-in-law is one allowed to have on the payroll?
Yes, you do. However, the amount to be received changes when total income exceeds certain defined levels.
By the way, thanks to everybody for acknowledging receipt of the stimulus check---or not, as the case may be.
I'm still waiting although not with baited breath as fish is too expensive these days. dlol*
*DON'T laugh out loud.
lol
Absolutely intelligent response!
This latest post of yours on USEI may well prevent others from tossing more coin into a pile of crap.
Thank you for your candor.
Here's an interesting one for you--
I'm pretty certain that a lot of investors will buy some stocks thinking that their lower price-per-share means they're likely to rise from Hell.
I don't do that but I understand that others will.
Now---Does Tony ever regroup and try to bring a failed stock back to life? What's the likelihood of his promoting USEI or any other of his failed botches again? Do they remain dead once pronounced publicly stinking?
I know the bastard, have spoken with him a few times some years back. But I don't know how he views total failures when it comes to his "forgotten" picks no longer appearing viable.
Thanks!
Both the wife and I receive SS monthly via direct deposit so I'm not sure it will be coming.
Has anybody here received the $1,200 stimulus check?
Neither my wife nor I have.
Just in case anyone is following this thread.....
So far today, the 200 shares order went through as indicated earlier at $5.65.
A follow-on order for 200 shares at $5.60 subsequently went through as well.
The current order is for 200 shares of RCEL at $5.54.
I don't know that this has a good chance of squeaking thru but I need to test the waters so I can try to figure out my next moves. If the $5.54 fills, I'll shoot for $5.47...thinking that people will lose hope if we break beneath the all-important $5.50 threshold. Should this happen, I'll go for 500 share lots to capitalize on the opportunity.
Just my thoughts for the moment. Hoping it helps somebody out there not terrified of putting a few bucks into his/her investment/trading gambit.
Good investing and/or trading to all!
Well, it's a new day and as things move swiftly I don't want to lose sight of smart buy-points when it comes to RCEL.
So, I just picked up 200 shares of RCEL at $5.65.
Current order:
To buy---300 shares at $5.60.
Nobody knows where this is going but I've got to be an aggressive buyer so long as my portfolio holding of RCEL is underwater. If my above order fills I'll bid for another 200-500 shares. The worst that might happen is that my cost average will drop. That's hardly a big problem, right? lol
These troubled days will vanish, it's just a matter of time. As for what I figure is really going on? I sense people are having issues with leadership. It's hard to make decisive moves when we're afraid to commit money without at least something to hang onto that will have us feeling at least somewhat more secure.
And this should explain why I'm buying in smaller than usual tranches. While I'm not feeling financially pressured, nobody wants to make stupid, cavalier moves that will eventually bite you in the butt. So I'm exercising reasonable caution.
Anybody else daring to to look the tiger in the eye?
My eyes are on MNLO and RCEL for the most part.
I'm also "playing" F, GE and BAC for short term swing trades. There's a few others as well but not very meaningful due to their small position sizes.
Let me know!
Len/Jugs
I'm ready.
Bought a few shares several months ago as an insurance, thinking I might do ok if the co should be sold for the value of its acreage alone.
C'mon, somebody--- buy us!
You too!
Take a look at MNLO. It's just under $2 and it's my biggest position with 156,000 shares. And I'm adding.
Let me know.
I'm up $12k today and $104k so far this week. I buy and sell real companies. I no longer mess with pinkies or any OTC scams.
There's plenty of true to life good companies out there. Work them and you'll not only sleep well, your hands won't turn brown.
No shit!
He must rotate his active scams so as to maintain opportunity to continue bilking others. People like myself probably hurt your chances of bailing and I'm sorry for that, truly
Actually he's in fine company with others of his same ilk.
So many fine people have been taken for a ride. We can't expect the OTC to play policeman as their budget couldn't possibly take care of us all. I lost $32,000 on a pink scam, myself, so you're hardly alone.
We live and if we're lucky, we also learn.
The fact that you posted this tells me you have learned much and have taken things to heart.
That places you in a much better place as an investor. Thank you so much for speaking openly!
I'm not understanding your questioning there being sufficient room for RCEL and CALZF coexisting. Each has its own course of pursuits and those items aren't threats to one another existentially as I see it.
Have at it if you choose.
Thanks.
On another note, I wonder if FDA approval will impact on this stock's trading volume? It's so paltry and it has me holding back from adding. I currently hold just 3,000 shares of CALZF while I've got 60,000 RCEL.
I'd like to add to this one but my gut tells me to wait for broader market dynamics.
Would appreciate your adding color.
While the indices are down with the DOW under by $248 at the moment, I'm very pleased to see Avita higher at $6.12.
Resident posters convinced RCEL holders will be screwed might just be shooting themselves in the feet. But I've got to say that my purchases yesterday are paying off handsomely already, something I'd not foreseen.
Sometimes I think we stock people across the overall market universe tend to operate on an all-or-nothing basis. When things are concerning, we step back. When things are looking strong as is the case today---nobody's around to bask in the sun. Speaking only for myself, I prefer to look at any day as a potentially exciting one for it may bring us encouragement.
Today is a day such as this for it has us higher. The amount is just 25 cents which amounts to a rise of 4.26%. Is it incredible? No, of course not. Yet it speaks to the fact that (for me) this stock is live and well despite protestations coming from certain others---now absent.
Avita is conspicuously breathing well and doing so at a time that has the indices (DOW) pushing towards negative 300.
At this point in time---I'm wondering if shares will approach the $7 threshold prior to the vote on the proposed change of domicile. I'm not sure I'd sell any if that should happen but I'm weighing things. One can never have too much cash on hand, especially when times threaten.
Good fortune!
It's not spam being as it represents the opinion of one individual and probably many more.
As a moderator I look for posts that offer perspective, opinions and---especially---meaningful information. It's not for me to rule out pie-in-the-sky fantasies on the grounds that it's not necessarily my personal inclination. Too, often people will promote stocks in the hopes of encouraging others to rethink their attitudes towards particular stock picks in question. Whether I like that practice or not is between me and myself. I can't let my stance blur boundaries resulting in infringing on the rights of others. In some ways this is similar to tolerance for different religions, isn't it?
Hope this helps!
As I see it, continuing to support those unable to survive on their own is heralding failure. I'm not mean and heartless but I like people who dare to look the tiger in the eye without begging for sympathy from Big Daddy in the sky.
Visibility is very important to me and many others here---so herewith today---
I added nearly a thousand shares of RCEL at prices between $5.90 and $5.94.
While I didn't hit the absolute low of the day ($5.70), I wasn't reaching for that distinction. Rather, I wanted to bring my portfolio total of shares held up to 60,000. I've accomplished that and am pleased.
Thinking more about my previous post denouncing fears of dilution expressed by a few others, more and more I'm glad I am able to dismiss such concerns as they clearly are not mine. I'm very lucky in that respect.
So now I'm looking in on RCEL and I'm surprised to see shares of RCEL are at $5.96. A few bucks gained doesn't mean anything to me but I'm thinking of a board friend and fellow trader who holds less than 10,000 shares. In my opinion he's the true hero, showing the guts to take a position and holding fast to his own decisions. There are others, too, some of whom I know personally. They are heroes for sure---standing ground and refusing to yield to loudly voiced detractors claiming there's disaster ahead.
I'm very proud of our company, our investment opportunity at hand and I certainly salute any others who also recognize opportunity right at hand.
Good fortune!
If they're concerned, they should buy a pair of gloves to be used while shopping.
Hmmmm----those sequins sure look nice on the purple leather ones, don't they?
You raise some questions that represent your concerns.
Over the past week or so, a couple of posters have been especially active stroking concerns such as yours regarding expected dilution. IHUB has seen fit to eliminate many of these posts as they don't often connect to our subject of focus---Avita.
Speaking only for myself, I tune out most of what these two say in their depictions of various "uh-oh!" issues. I run my own ship, first, last and always. If I can't operate and manage my own financial interests, then I'm unfit for my continuing work as a portfolio manager.
Let me suggest you tune out, too. You've been a shareholder for seven years? Celebrate that! Do these naysayers get credit for your success? I expect that's not the case. So why would you now be concerned? Was dilution your fear throughout those seven years? I doubt it.
Thinking independently as well as making decisions independently and following through by taking action INDEPENDENTLY---this is the seed of successful investing.
I've increased my portfolio net asset value by 35% over the course of this month. That's not to suggest my net asset value is where it was at the high of the year. But it doesn't have to be, either! I'm happy as a lark, accomplishing all I deem important---fantastic wife, home campus, and as tdeck likes to say---I sleep very well at night.
As for where I'm seeing Avita going? I'm expecting to be a buyer today. It won't be a lot of shares but probably my first buy will be for 500 shares. I'm not looking so much at sales inasmuch as Covid-19 is clearly the prevailing disruptive force in abundance at this time. Whether we get back to a fully open America or not---this year or next, for that matter---I continue to see great reason to put plenty of store in Avita ownership. I don't need anybody to reassure me that "It's OK!" Nor will I listen to darkly dire predictions coming from idiotic fools claiming to know more than others. I don't know everything but I sure as Hell know all I need to know for me.
For the record: I am a millionaire more than once over---and---the stock market over the past several years was the reigning force enabling me to prosper as I have. I'll be damned if I'm going to start throwing my own gut & instinct responses aside just to listen and heed advice coming from complete fools without much of a pot to piss in.
That's my rant for the day. I truly hope I move you to carefully assess your own personal achievements over the past seven years and stand tall with deserved pride. I respect you hugely for having stood in your own shoes without abandoning your own shoes that got you to where you are now.
As for dilution? If the RCEL share structure drops to a mere 20,000,000 shares---what has you thinking there won't be any forthcoming (forward) splits coming our way? Twenty million shares is not enough to permit meaningful scale so I fully expect at least one split ahead. And I want to be on the receiving end, laughing all the way as I enjoy Christmas throughout the year. With a number of irons in the fire, our past successes tell me there's much more to come our way. As people wake up to that reality, clamoring for shares will drive the share price higher while forward splits will enable broader ownership.
Cheers!
Thanx muchly. Looks not so terrible.
What I'm seeing on my cellphone is about 8 messages on the Hot Copper board.
Can you summarize a few key #s? Would be greatly appreciated.
Thanx!
Of course!
And you're correct--- we're on an upward slide, having gone thru a downer. But that's what I do to make money- I play trendlines. I'm not a day trader but I usually commit more than half of my capital to longer term plays with the balance, testing waters of greater than three month duration.
We all took a beating due to Covid 19 but things are beginning to brighten.
Something conspicuously standing out to me is that you tend to make money and lose money.
This is not the case for me as I ALWAYS start positions buying just a few hundred shares. Then follows an "incubational" period of three months during which time I piece information together as part of my due diligence program and then proceed to add or liquidate accordingly.
The pandemic has obliterated lines such as there's ample blurring of boundaries defining opportunity and immanent failure in terms of investment success potential. However, after being fully vested in a stock pick for an extended period of time, I find I'm quite comfortable.
So it is that I routinely sell off shares when I sense things are toppy and I'll buy back when I see more stability on the upside. However, I do not tamper with my core position. In the case of RCEL I hold 50,000 core shares which will be sufficient for the time being. That leaves me with about 10,000 shares for trading purposes. It's a comfortable position.
This works for me and I'm up hugely over the last month (+35%) across my portfolio so no complaints at all. And I'm sitting on a substantial nest egg waiting for a downturn.
Can you safely identify the source of this?
Much appreciated.
You say the reverse split will benefit new investors but not longs. Would you explain that? You've maintained there'll be a massive sell-off following the reverse. If so, then new shareholders will suffer the same disaster.
Also, you've long maintained you won't hold shares at current prices. I remember when you said this and we were barely above $5.50. And now we're at $6.12. I've sold and repurchased numerous times recently and make money. Are you reaping something more than remorse? It seems to me that sometimes the most outspoken investors aren't really investing meaningfully at all---preferring to stay out of the money.
Avita appears to be gaining traction. I see it often these days. As for the split? I wouldn't be surprised to find management making an announcement coincidental with the reverse activation.
You're not understanding Ameritrade's presentation. Your shares are recognized as though they are valid, registered shares. The brokerage machinery has no other way to portray them. I'm in the same situation with Ameritrade showing a $320 value.
Try selling those shares! You'll understand much more, I assure you.
Thank you for a surprisingly classy post or two or three. Appreciated lots.
Cramer turns me off, frankly. Statistically he is on the low end of the totem pole. My gains tend to be much more meaningful as are those of numerous others I personally know. I don't know why he seems to get stuck in the mud but he doesn't strike me as being at all nimble. He'll look at charts but I sense he doesn't grant them much space when it comes to decision-making. From the standpoint of fundamentals, he operates in a narrow range of territorial boundaries. I enjoy sticking my neck out.
He's far too conservative for my taste. I take chances and have no issue having to accept whatever comes my way as a result of daring the devil. More often than not, I'll find myself in the money without remorse.
Thank you again for demonstrating fine character.
So what has you hesitating to sell GE?
If you'd actually followed through, it would have been done by now it would be the end of discussion for you on this board.
Instead, I sense there's something else going on.
I've got just a few shares (1,010) so it's not meaningful for my portfolio. However, it's got my appreciating an overall gain in the past couple of weeks so I can't complain. If anything, I'll be adding---after the report, obviously.
I wonder if you're short?
Hey, young man---This is yer daddy tellin' ya---Drink the danged Diet Coke if ya gotta! Maybe it'll kill ya but not until it's rotted out yer gut.
And ennyone doubting the lifeline of a day trader doesn't know the difference between a foot stool and diarrhea.
Did I say that?
Geesh---even I have to laugh at that one.
Makin' lotsa $ on MNLO and RCEL. F, GE and BAC are jumpin' thru hoops too.
Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. lol
My weight loss has risen to higher turf since adding an ounce or so of chia in the afternoon. Flax will do it, too---but it must be ground or your body won't be able to benefit from the nutrient profile. I use a coffee grinder.
If you weigh daily and keep the numbers next to your keyboard, you'll derive a lot of satisfaction from your progress. That's important in my opinion. The high fiber increases motility demonstrably. We're addressing the poopability factor, of course. When on a strict program, you'll want to distinguish between weighing in the nude as well as naked on the inside. lol
Something the wife and I are doing is to eat lighter in the evening meal. Large meat-based dinners sludge the gut. Sure, you feel happy when you're not hungry. But the content consumed can be a mix of water and veggies and/or salads (without much dressing) and skinless chicken or pork can get it done. I was a huge meat piggie. Now it's about how to create great meals using meat as not more than a protein with wonderful flavor.
I'm betting your wife can revise ways in which she maintains you--but not all of you. lol
Beautiful message steeped in humility.
Thank you for the wonderful views shared with fellow humans experiencing uncertain times.
I suspect we all find isolation difficult. Message boards help!
My hearty congratulations to NGL unitholders!
Great to hear that things appear to be holding up well in Oklahoma.
I don't view pullbacks as bad. They point the way to profit. However, I'm not a day trader. And that prolly explains my take as being so different.
$3.84/lb.
A little pricey maybe but so what? I've paid more at Sprouts supermarkets. If it's ushering in better health, its worth it. Also, I think it's going to become more expensive due to seasonal cyclicality at the mercy of Covid. This is the time to load up.
You're doing fine.
I'm looking forward to your declining numbers on the scale.
Edamame---roasted and lightly salted---are a wonderful snack, almost as good a peanuts, I think. But their protein is astronomical for sure.
Sounds like you've got a good program going. Keep up all that water for the chia & flax combo.
Loose item:
Slimfast---haven't looked into it in more than ten years.
Any day you cut back is a day in your "WGH."*
*Wallet of Good Health"
Why not treat it as a day trade and pat yourself on the back for every day you succeed in not having to drink Diet Coke? And with chia we don't really acknowledge sucking seeds, right? As a matter of flax, we're reformulating your approach and you're going to find great results, I'm absolutely positive!
Stay on course and challenge yourself to use a soda strictly for reward. You don't really have to be a slave to taste bud sensationalism, do you?
I'm sure you can do more than you think you can do.
That's great---exactly as I'd hope for you!
As for chia? If you're able to tolerate it without intestinal discomfort, I'd suggest procuring a nice sized stock. I've got more than 80 pounds but that wouldn't have me passing up smart transactions. After all, I can always give it away. But for now I expect growing scarcity of opportunity to buy in bulk.
Let me know about your weightloss program.
