No..thank you..... for that Swiss story. Watch that film :)
Yep..and thank you for being in my corner...lol. The nude is standing there because it is the "Artist's Studio" :)...and that is what makes it lovely.
You will love the film...it's beautiful and disturbing at the same time. Trust me...and it fits in with the Courbet painting as well. Probably why I thought of the film ;)
On something completely unrelated....have you ever looked back on Courbet? I had a disagreement with a friend over her take(maybe because I'm a dude)...The only piece I really love is:
His lines drive me crazy in other pieces....sorry to bring this up, not sure if you ever followed the Frenchy'...just had to ask.
Also...if you haven;t seen this...make it a must!
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2473794/
I'll give you that...but still ;) .... it's only very recent...and more talk than action. It's a start though. Then again..that Credit Suisse rescue was just a year ago...lol. But there's more to it...and I'm just gonna' stop there. :)
You don't say? I like to research foreign markets and look for a value....but mostly to just learn. A few Months ago, I revisited The Swiss venue..and got a little deeper. Then I started to look at their neutrality stance since the 16th Century(not recognized until later). Then a rabbit hole opened up and I had that "WTF?" moment.
Lol...I stopped there and never looked back. You're dead on in my opinion..secretive is an understatement.....thanks for that.
He should pay...probably my only gripe I guess. Thanks..we'll see....
Yeah....I noticed him about a week or two ago. Checked him out. Very low brow in my opinion...to be polite. It's been fairly sparse...so....maybe who cares...eh?
Have you all seen this ambulance chaser? https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/profile.aspx?user=713434 ...I have to call it out as spam....and don't think this is the venue for this crap. Am I wrong?
I expected worse....next quarter filing should tell the most...or just enough to add.
Idiotic P/E ratio ..insanely overbought...yet non destructible. Definitely a strong short and the dumbest short possible...at the same time.
Lithium needs to go....the quicker the better. There are other solutions to storage.
They need to write better pieces. Way too much information and the nuts gets buried. Being able to buy and sell/transfer tickets on your own is certainly a good thing...if the verification is legitimate. Everything else is just repetition... mostly.
That's the nut..so focus on that and expand such into the other pieces. It should be one or two shorter than longer paragraphs and what they did is make it a mess.
Yes, I do...but that is not the answer to my question.
Please provide me the number of times the IRS has sued the FDIC. My point is dealing with the failure of bureaucracy concerning and between the IRS and the FDIC. It has nothing to do with receivership and procedures and everything to do with poor bureaucracy. I mean it's fairly obvious that the IRS is not complete with their work and yet still tried to collect an arbitrary amount..at least in the eyes of the FDIC.
So if you don't have an answer...just say so. That is always better than attempting to insult another's intelligence instead of just answering a question, which seemingly, you can not.
NO...I fully understand it. The FDIC has been sued often. Just not by the IRS...in fact, since you know so much ....give me some background on how many times the IRS has sued the FDIC.
Good luck...I'll wait.
Actually, the Company does not file it(211), the market makers do...after being solicited(or similar)...by Company...or similar.
I'm not sure...but there is so much competition, and their name doesn't count for branding like it did when they started. The mob could save it...but I agree..their current presentation is lacking hard.
Here:
https://www.finra.org/filing-reporting/over-the-counter-reporting-facility-orf/form-211
And here:
Even when the company seeking to go public has filed a Form S-1 or Form 10 registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), a market maker must file a Form 211 pursuant to Rule 15c-211 with the Finance Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”).
For issuers that plan to list on an exchange, the process is slightly different; with NASDAQ, oddly enough, reservation of a ticker, which is done with the exchange, is the first step.
Crew? .... OK...... lol. And so it goes....
? What fear...their fees have been known for Months. For what it is worth, Humbl is much smarter than the AFL.
Correct...just like it doesn't mean shit that Humbl could have scaled up in order to secure more revenue for higher ticket prices. But they didn't. And so it goes....
Not sure why...I'm sure you'll post a stupid emoji as well. I was actually going to follow up with why the AFL used Humbl. Humbl's fees are flat/static and not based on percentage of ticket price. But, you're correct...my opinion doesn't mean shit.
That is actually depressing given what the Company was suggesting about "their" technology. I get it though...I just do not get the AFL. They certainly did not need Humbl for that, so who is the biggest idiot.....certainly not Humbl.They could have paid in house for that and hired a few individuals for a ticket division...for a lot cheaper $ :)
It's certainly a very sloppy start for the AFL.....that should be the concern...lol.
Of course trades were front loaded. They have to be before you put out a pitch report. I have no idea about that other nonsense you wrote. That's certainly not my take on things. I just look at things realistically and don't live in a fixed income bubble.
I do know how it works...and I laughed my ass off as well. I love it when the Federal Government has to sue something it created through Congress. As I said... ..blue skies, birds singing ....all while sitting under a magnolia tree. All's good :)
OK...by the way...I don't have a low opinion of Hindenburg, actually the opposite due to the fact it/they/him have a proven track record of successes. I am just realistic about the dirty game played and most importantly...not infatuated by a short seller or any other individual that plays the capital market. When you become infatuated, you become ignorant to what is. Be it biased...be it foolish.
NO...did you read the kahn link(8 billion fraud)????? Read it again:
https://www.indiatoday.in/india/north/story/hasan-ali-laundered-cash-for-3-maharashtra-cms-130755-2011-03-21
You aren't making any sense....a foreign entity can be set up by an Indian resident. That $8 Billion fraud case involved Indian nationals ...wealthy and political. Where in the hell do you get that...from that? I never said that....why would I
The stock is unsolicited until a form 211 is filed. The share price is fine...it doesn't matter at this stage....and the S-1 has to be in EFFECT. Then go from there...
lol....mine was a merger with some high rollers entering the orthodontics field. They already had FDA approval on the device and the next gen is coming. It uses air pressure instead of braces and aligners and will take some share from Align Technology. The shocker to me was that I didn't realize how much of a market there is...and Align is @ $300 rough per share.
The kicker...it's headquarters is in tel Aviv...lol...and the chairman is Chaim Hurvitz(Teva Pharma history...his dad was legendary) .. https://en.globes.co.il/en/article-chaim-hurvitz-teva-can-realize-5b-in-assets-1001207388
He's not the big cat though...the big cat is another story...and it's heavy good!...lol..
Hope you get that bank for your travels :) good luck....
I don't know that....it just makes sense given a lot of the bullet points used were put forth previously. Nothing wrong with taking a tip sheet and then digging further. It happens more than you think. But, why do you think that is bad?
Or are you referring to the offshore tax haven? Because that is a given though no harm via Hindenburg..it was the only option in their scenario.
I'm just confused that you missed the bigger picture and just focused on the short seller. The short seller is not the issue here. The means used "is" and the introduction and continuance of the P Note should take center stage. It was beneficial in opening up India to Foreign Investors...but also opened the flood gate with fraud.
? it's that simple? Jesus. I have a previous shell that is going to Nas via consolidation...sometime in the near future. I have figured that the IPO will be @10 and higher. Already made a ton of bank a few years back...and have just been waiting. Hope they don't get busted before it happens...lol.
Foreign to India. The notes are issued by them and the receiver(investor) remains anonymous. No one ever knows the initial investor or ending investor because they are anonymous and the notes are also transferable. The FII(foreign institutional investor) then uses such at the direction of the investor/note holder. That includes stocks, bonds,derivatives... futures, and options traded in the Indian stock markets...etc...etc
They initially started using these in the early 90's, but all had to be registered and they were very transparent. Then circa 2000 SEBI softened it up. These type of notes make up roughly 20% plus of the Indian market and have been banned in the past and have had many rule changes.
Disclosure(via FII) started being every Month(I believe), then was shortened to biweekly..and now is immediately after the position is taken. The Hindenburg short et al caused the rule change once again. It seems as every market crises in India is a result of these type of derivatives....lol. The punchline is that SEBI and the Financial Authority of India created this....and it has been one of the biggest pain in the ass for them since inception(actually since circa 2000). It does benefit India but it also destroys India. Now they are stuck because when they are banned ....the market crashes. These type of vehicles are known for money laundering, tax evasion.....and the honey spot for the wealthy, crooked politicians and crooks. The intention is good but bad players make up the majority...or at the lest are in the mix. It has been a political and financial issue ever since inception
Probably the most famous instance of a P-Note is...:
Hasan Ali laundered money for 3 former Maharashtra CMs -8 Billion Dollar money laundering scandal via Hasan Ali Khan
https://www.indiatoday.in/india/north/story/hasan-ali-laundered-cash-for-3-maharashtra-cms-130755-2011-03-21
According to probe agencies, Ali took unaccounted black money from Indian politicians out of the country through the hawala channel and parked them in bank accounts in various countries across the globe, especially Mauritius.
He would then bring this money back to India, invest it in the stock market through participatory notes to buy up shares for people named by the politicians. At times, the money would come in as foreign investment straight into companies floated by friends and family of these politicians.
"In those years, especially the late 1990s and early 2000s, the stock markets had huge black money riding on it, which was often untraceable. Ali smartly bought participatory notes which were not required to be registered with SEBI. In the same fashion, some of the money would also come into companies that would have a beneficiary of the politician's family or in some cases, a completely new business entity in the name of a beneficiary of the politician," said a source close to the probe agencies. Through this strategy, Ali is believed to have pumped in money into the businesses of the son-in-law of one of these former CMs.
I don't get it. It consolidates shares and then runs up 50x within 2 weeks?
You could have said that much more differently. Ok ...sorry, my mistake.
Janice, you should reread everything you have written. Because you are not disagreeing with what I said. In my opinion, this is as good as it gets on the short game. The fn' structure and timing is just insane..lol. It became political and caused rule changes. All of that is a given, and probably one hell of a rabbit hole :)
lol...you're right..I do. Sorry!...... Foreign Institutional Investors.
Are you being sarcastic? ...
FII's hide/shield their owners...so what are you saying?????
You're not making sense to me. None of that has anything to do with what I said. FII's hide/shield their owners...so what are you saying?????
That's funny. Is that is all you have?
All wrong....I knew that way before you posted it...like Months before. India has different rules regarding disclosure :

The short caused so much damage that they had to strengthen the rules. They didn't break the law, they skirted it and hid the remaining. Absolutely nothing illegal via Hindenburg. But because of such..they had to tighten it up. I don't think you have been clear at all...it's a confusing situation to say the least ...with regards to the short play. This may help:
Data reveals there was frantic trading in NSE’s equity options segment starting from December 2022 up to the Union Budget. As a result, the ratio of Put options, which investors buy when they anticipate a market crash, kept rising steadily and touched a 13-year high on January 24: the day Hindenburg published its report.On January 23, the Put and Call ratio stood at 0.73 (73 Puts against 100 Calls) and touched 0.74 the next day, which is the highest reading since the peak of the Great Financial Crises in March 2009, when the ratio touched 0.75. It simply means that Puts were being added frantically in the Indian markets up to the Union Budget even as the global stock markets were steady or rallying. Probe also shows there was high action seen in out-of-the-money Put options of Adani stocks, which means some were anticipating a sharp fall.
The probe also shows that New York-based Hindenburg is not a registered research firm with any market regulator. In the report, Hindenburg claims to have received information on SEBI investigations into Adani stocks via the right to information (RTI) application. But SEBI never shares any investigation-related info via RTI. Investigations show that Hindenburg’s report follows the exact same financial and other metrics that were followed by a leading Indian market researcher in his ‘Bespoke’ reports on listed companies that were sold for $20,000 to $50,000 to private clients.
India Today is not a tabloid and comparing such to the National Enquirer et al is moot. The same thing applies to this nation regarding the wealthy and it's politicians(all nations). Doesn't matter what side of the fence you reside.
Here's the thing....the US Government dismissed everything and invested over $500 Million into Adani(port). They said it had no association with the investigation....so they went ahead full steam in November 2023. When I say US GOV:
https://www.dfc.gov/
So in a nutshell...everyone is fn' dirty..eh?...or is it just usual business?
If the speed limit is 35 and you are currently at 42...your breaking the law(dirty).....you're just not breaking it enough to get you a ticket....most cases:). It just seems as though most keep just pushing it further...and further.
