You got your wish!
19 on the ask, early days but $20 is looking like the base price and we are still not fully incorporated to NYSE. Next week should get interesting!!
A second MM just appeared on the ask. So it may take a couple of days to all play out and be fully uplisted. A bit like moving house!
MM's beginning to appear on level 2.
bid 12.50
ask 13.90
So we are almost underway for trading
I imagine that there is a switching over period which would be normal in my view, so it will come online on the NYSE anytime in the next day or two so a little bit more patience probably is required..... almost there!
Uplisting PR:
No trades and on TDameritrade no level 2 at the moment.

Looks like it is the same:
NYSE MKT LLC, formerly known as the American Stock Exchange (AMEX), is an American stock exchange situated in New York City, New York. AMEX was previously a mutual organization, owned by its members. Until 1953, it was known as the New York Curb Exchange.[1]
On January 17, 2008, NYSE Euronext announced it would acquire the AMEX for $260 million in stock; on October 1, 2008, NYSE Euronext completed the acquisition.[2] Before the closing of the acquisition, NYSE Euronext announced that the AMEX would be integrated with the Alternext European small-cap exchange and renamed the NYSE Alternext U.S.[3]
In March 2009, NYSE Alternext U.S. was changed to NYSE Amex Equities. On May 10, 2012, NYSE Amex Equities changed its name to NYSE MKT LLC
If you think about it there have been only two finalized acquisitions this year the last one in March (Uppercase) thats now close to 8 months. So to not have acquisitions in the works and be timed to co-inside with the re-ipo would be hard to imagine from a strategy perspective to make the re-ipo a success. Time will tell....
1:20 looks like the waiting is almost over! Up-listing here we go NYSE...
so after 12K shares volume yesterday 77K in 7 minutes today....!
0.9999 !!! could not be closer.
CF is one to ignore 33 posts 32 on the CSVL board dating back 6 months or more all negative claiming pump and dump etc.
Its now been a full calendar month since a PR in itself is a long period for this company. So something is developing in the background indicated by the volume over the last two weeks. The question is what... time will tell!
Another 82K bought at the ask of 0.52. No change in the ask after all these buys. closes at .52 586K volume
500K volume unchanged share price. Still no news.....
38,000 shares just gone @ 0.64 and 0.645

Article Conclusion
The CVSL story is just beginning. And it is happening quickly.
Given the rapid transformation and the likelihood of a number of transactions in 2014, I hesitate to model out what this business might look like twelve months from now. Having said that, bestowing a terrific and proven capital allocator / manager with a $500 million "war chest" bodes well for equity holders.
In my view, CVSL shares will likely remain volatile as investors digest the growth story and all the moving parts. That said, at the current $220 million valuation, CVSL certainly doesn't look overvalued given CVSL's operating businesses delivered an estimated ~$140 million sales run rate by the end of 2013, pricing the business at ~1.5x sales.
While the Blyth deal appears to be dead after CVSL announced it liquidated its Blyth shares, I wouldn't be surprised if CVSL revisits the opportunity given the right circumstances. That said, CVSL appears to have a healthy deal pipeline from which to curate a hand selected set of subsidiaries.
2014 promises to be an eventful year for CVSL and its shareholders. Investors get a glimpse under the hood when CVSL reports full-year earnings next month.
