berrybck, today was our first day on the reg sho list. SVMI is now being manipulated by naked shorting. the shares we're seeing may be phantom shares and the reality, despite very bullish sentiments, is that illegal shorts MAY HAVE control of SVMI for now. where is the pps headed? i have no idea how low it will go, but one things for sure: naked shorting almost never happens to a bad company, and when they finally let go of it we'll see a volcano in the making.
somebody in washington has to stand up and put a stop to this BS, don't you think?

it's up 100% in a week. not too shabby if you ask me. like you, i'm also in AURC, so i figure just as AURC is ready to take a breather FMNJ will be on a roll again.
good trading!
welcome everyone to the brand new peace arch entertainment board! never heard of the company? have a look at the chart and you'll notice it's shaping up nicely.imho, it won't be off the radar for too much longer.

AURC up almost 62% and this is just the base camp, IMHO. wow! imagine what it'll do on news of the motherload!!
AURC up 62% today... and that's just the beginning!! EOM
typical late day spike, run to the close. interesting the way ZP is trading. seems like a lot of accumulation during the bulk of trading, then they let it run for a while EOD.
thanks, benzdealeror2. i was just beginning to feel a bit invisible.
do you have any idea when AURC got added to the list? i can't see any indication of dates on this site. the reason i'm asking is if it's been there a long time i think we may soon see the slingshot effect of it coming off. good news combined with short covering and a low float... wow.
today has been incredible.
good luck all!
rook, i've asked about the reg sho listing too, as you may have noticed, and so far no answer from anyone on the board. what's wrong with at least saying "i don't know"?
i'm a brand new investor with AURC, very bullish on the company based on my dd, and i wouldn't mind being treated like one of the team.
catch the AURC train before it leaves the station. looking very strong today!!
http://www.nasdaqtrader.com/aspx/regsho.aspx
does anyone know how long AURC has been on the reg sho list? i have no doubt it will be off that list the moment we get a PR with favorable news.
schaub you should never apologize for raising questions like the short interest one. contrary to what many might think, a board where longs don't feel they can criticize the stock actually ends up hurting it over time, imho. we all need to be critical, and if the tough questions get good answers it will improve investor confidence.
as for the naked shorting of SVMI, that's something to think about and seriously. i've seen naked shorts take stocks down for weeks, even months. HOWEVER, one thing is for sure, i rarely see bad companies wind up on the list. naked shorting happens to solid companies with great prospects that are in PR limbo, IMHO. take BCON for example. or recently a few red hot solar plays were added: STP and ESLR. no doubt this happened because of bearish sentiment about silicon supplies, but the short term story for these stocks hasn't changed.
i agree, also, with those who think buying interest in SVMI will flush them out. if a good news release comes along their manipulation of this stock will force some covering and simply fuel the spike up.
thanks, ecris--
i consider you quite savvy to have bought at .16. i remember a while back when the price plunged to .90 thinking surely this will come down, but that was the bottom. i chased it a little and still made out well, cashing out close to the top. another opportunity came along just days ago and again i've managed to ride it back up from what seemed to be a very oversold condition.
what's ahead? after a while even momo investors want to see PR milestones being met, news coming through as promised, but what do you make of this latest run, given that shift in sentiment? have we hit another short term top?
yes, that's the reason i took the core position i did. the sponsors/partners at that tech summit were mostly large to mid cap companies. this is the same summit honoring the creator of linux and the design vp of AAPL, a past winner for communications technology was qualcomm, so clearly this puts XSNX in a different league from most OTCBB stocks.
risks and uncertainties, yes, but clearly they are on to something big and it is garnering industry attention. perhaps the worst case scenario would be a buyout, and if that's the case sign me up for some quick cash.
thanks for your post.
indeed, you might miss a gapper on monday, but the downside is if friday's selling at the close was not a reversal it could be hard to unload your 6.25 shares. ride them down to 5$ and scale in? that's expensive. then again, maybe i'm just being cheap!
GL2U.
i'm concerned it could break down and head to 5$, too, depending on where the broader averages are going monday. did anyone else get a kind of uneasy feeling about the markets near the close friday? most global exchanges sold off, too, like especially germany and europe at large. are we due for a correction? if so, i'm not positive i want to be stuck in a high beta stock like CWPC when monday's bell rings.
jt and ecris, i've been happily trading xsnx for several weeks now, and doing pretty well at it, but also have a small core holding for precisely the reasons you've stated. it would be a pity to have to chase this thing once a confirmation of deals/production contracts, etc. comes out.
that said, i do also fit the profile of a wary investor, sidelined to a large extent because the information available on the web is a bit thin, the research facility informal, the background of the CEO not in energy technology but data services (accesspoint)- and so i hesitate to jump in with both feet.
you both seem very bullish on xsnx and i'm interested to know what information tipped the scales for you two in favor of going all-out long.
thanks in advance.
at first i was skeptical about the "group letter" from shareholders, but the more i think about it the better it gets. isn't this exactly the sort of subtle pressure that could ultimately get us off the pinks? at the very least, as the months go by and maybe even sooner, parkin may weary of our letters and decide to hire a full time, very active PR team. hmm....
true enough, i'd trade in a 10-bagger or even a 50-bagger for some slick web design. LOL
but seriously, just from what i can read between the lines, AURC seems understaffed and mr. parkin is a bit busy to say the least. so to those who are getting a bit impatient i ask why not give this company some time to get their act together? money has a way of solving so many problems, web design included.
i bought today's dip and felt lucky to have that opportunity.
Robbins continued, "We also had important breakthroughs in our patented
tissue welding/bonding technology in 2005. Most recently, the technology was
successfully used in leak-proof lung resection and cosmetic surgery
procedures, including breast reduction, breast implants, mastoplexy and abdominal
plasty. In January, our Ukraine partner received its first order for this equipment.
The Ministry of Health of Ukraine ordered 10 sets. We are optimistic about the
potential for use of this technology in the United States and other countries."
_______
has anyone spoken to the company about what regulatory hurdles they would need to clear in the US in order to sell the tissue bonding technology? thanks.
OT: what do you make of NDOL's reaction to this news? is the market unaware as yet? you'd think the stock would fly.
my sense of the FTS activity, reg sho, is that it's used to manipulate the pps down on promising companies with no news or that have already had a good run. a few examples are BCON, CMED, ESLR, STP, etc. they won't go near a company while it's on a tear, but the moment a top is found they jump all over it.
in the case of AURC my theory is that they see the promise of this co, know it is weak b/c of infrequent prs, and they want a piece of it... cheap. let's hope my hunch is correct.
GLTA
that story is a day old. and the stock is down today.
german market and other european exchanges closed very weak so this could have something to do with NDOL perhaps. traders heading for the exits... short term. IMHO.
hcoe3, are you suggesting eBay might be that elusive partner we've been talking about? :) it does occur to me that a presence on ebay will introduce more people to ZP the company, not just their cars. we could certainly use that visibility.
as for the trading of ZP, it seemed to grab support today at 1.71 but i don't see a confirmed trend developing yet. i took a nibble here and there today but may live to regret it if we head to 1.27...
here's hoping for a green open with enough warning to add more. yeah, right. like ZP ever warns us when it's going to go on a tear.
BESToLUCK to all ZAPPERS.
not yet. i'm waiting for more transparency from the company before i give them my bank info. that said, i'm happy enough to buy their stock for now. :)
are you a buyer here? i took a small position today and am waiting for it to shake out a bit more. GL2U.
i thought the mileage was just rated at 40mpg. where did you get the 50 figure?
i realize it's a touchy subject, but what is the story with the company website? when will it be up and running?
also, have any of you spoken to management, and if so what's your read on them? thanks.
LOL! that's what i've been thinking. after lurking here for a short while i've decided to take a position. like the previous poster i'm curious if some of the longs on this board have an idea of the top on this leg up. thanks in advance. am looking forward to reading more on this great board.
brikk
anyone have any guesses on where this will settle out? tia.
in my opinion one clear driver of revenues is that mac users have pent up demand for a dual boot mac/windows based machine - so much so that they will ditch their motorola cpus and start a whole upgrade cycle. that's BIG $ FOR APPLE.
mac users have fanatical brand loyalty, and when windows only users are exposed to mac's os for the first time, well... i've seen most defect to the apple camp.
so this will be big. next earnings may be a bit soft with ipod volumes/margins shrinking some, but long term this is a GREAT bit of news. i truly believe the stock could be back to the high 80s.
thanks a lot, n.t.! you know i'll have my eye on it after the bell.
AAPL IS ON FIRE IN AH. hitting 67.30 on high volume!!
what do you folks make of IW today. strange stuff. is this shorts unwinding?
http://thomson.finance.lycos.com/lycos/iwatch/cgi-bin/iw_ticker?ticker=AAPL
wwat, that's a robust price target, indeed.
it's been a very bumpy road for ZP lately. i'm just now getting a handle on the way it trades, but no doubt i'll get burned here and there if i continue to play its swings. what a huge beta!!
personally i'm hoping we can break down back to support at 1.70. if that doesn't hold it looks like 1.27 is next. this one is so wild i have to use some discipline. take profits and keep plenty of dry powder. i think in the long run we'll be rewarded.
GL2U
b-fly, CMED has been trading very badly lately. i made a mint off that last run, but when i hopped back in a few days ago i got whipsawed like crazy. even though this is off the reg sho listing it seems the shorts are still playing CMED like a fiddle.
i consult this page daily: http://www.nasdaqtrader.com/ASPX/REGSHO.ASPX
I may grab a little more CMED again if we get some volume going. good luck!
gateway i hope you made out okay on CVM. i sold it near the close yesterday and then had some cash to shovel into AAPL for today's run.
OT: that was really, really lucky. i just caught a quick glimpse of apple moving in premarket this morning. it would have been easy to miss it, but now... yeesh... i'm holding these shares long term. this news is huge. AAPL could seriously double their PC market share. wow.
GLTY
nope, sorry, incnif, i rarely get over to SH. i tried for a quick trade on xsnx today off the bottom but it fizzled so i hopped out. good luck with ginseng. i lightened up on that one today. too many others were going nuts. made a mint on CVM but sold before the close. after reading more about it i figured it could be trouble. best of luck and happy trading.
