INSQ 10Q out. Nice profitable.
Last Q the company made only $6 mil in revenue, lost $1 mil in gross profit, and had a $10 mil LOSS!!! Huge and unjustified market cap. Many more companies are more deserving of larger market cap, while CPST's market cap is bloated.
HMSG exactly: this is one of those "long" stocks, and this price is a good point to be long from
Homeland Security Group International's Security Division Signs Additional Nationwide Contracts; Security Division Projects Monthly Revenues of $50,000.00
DEL MAR, Calif., Nov 15, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Homeland Security Group International (Pink Sheets:HMSG), announced today that its security division has signed six new annual contracts for northern California and seven other nationwide contracts for a total of thirteen new nationwide accounts.

CPST?? Pffft! That's a penny stock if I've ever seen one. I bet Cramer is shorting it himself; you know you can't successfully short a stock unless someone is buying it, at least that's the consensus among these penny shorters.
Cramer should get onboard GV: EPS for last four quarters is 0.06, which makes the current PE ratio 16.7. PE ratio not much IMO considering a 1.2 book value per share. Also, looking ahead, if we see consistent earnings, EPS will be 0.24 for the next four quarters. IMO with a combination of share buybacks and increasing EPS this stock can reach $10 per share over the next three quarters. A 10x gain from here is not bad, not bad at all.
GV ut'ing, trading bellow 1.2 bps, very good earnings out in morning
GV very few stocks trade bellow bps, not even XOM trades bellow book value per share
GV bps $1.2 and sp now only $1, MSFT 4.5x bps
60 minutes is always semi interesting now; not like it used to be
Now Cramer pumps stocks through adds! LOL I've just seen an add of him pumping MSFT.
GV book value $1.2 per share based on last 10Q
DDSI Wow SH.T! That means there could be a total of over 5 billion shares on the market, including the float and legal short shares.
GV Last 10Q: Total assets $27 mil, total liabilities $7 mil. WOW!!! This is a very good healthy company.
GV hot-Fixes offshore oil rigs. Hundreds of offshore rigs damaged by hurricanes. I think it is one of those stocks that are okay to have a 90 PE ratio. Revenue increased 120% from last quarter, and increased 55% from same quarter last year.
JPHC what f'ing BS. I can't believe they still think the market will hand them money for their crap. Tell them to work for their money will you? Jeese more dilution!!!

Goldfield Records Strong Results
MELBOURNE, Fla., Nov. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Goldfield Corporation (Amex: GV), a leading provider of electrical construction services in the southeastern United States and a developer of condominiums, today announced a fourfold increase in net income for the first nine months of 2005, driven by continued strength in electrical construction and increased real estate development activity.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2005, Goldfield reported total revenues of $11,255,613, up 55 percent from $7,262,905 in the like period of 2004. Net income from continuing operations increased to $741,937, or 3 cents per share, compared to $31,644, or nil per share for the same period in 2004. Net income (including discontinued operations) increased to $731,646, or 3 cents per share, compared to $19,747, or nil per share for the periods ending September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, total revenues increased 6.9 percent to $28,958,038, compared to $27,085,015 during the like period in 2004. Net income from continuing operations more than quadrupled to $1,465,829, or 6 cents per share, compared to $308,341, or 1 cent per share, for the same period in 2004. Net income (including discontinued operations) increased to $1,441,010, or 6 cents per share, compared to $296,444, or 1 cent per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Although electrical construction operations remained strong in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2005, the increase in net income for these periods, compared to the like periods in 2004, was largely attributable to real estate development activity. Goldfield's real estate project under construction in 2005, Oak Park, is significantly larger than the project under construction in 2004.
The backlog for real estate development operations at September 30, 2005 was approximately $3,240,000. There was no backlog at the same point last year. Goldfield expects to complete and deliver to buyers by early 2006 all backlog reflected at September 30, 2005. The current backlog assumes settlement of existing sales contracts from the Oak Park project, which commenced construction early this year, but does not include any amount from the substantially larger initial phase of the Pineapple House project. Goldfield expects to commence recognizing revenues from the Pineapple House project during 2006.
The backlog for electrical construction operations at September 30, 2005, more than doubled to $13,842,000, from $5,280,000 at September 30, 2004 due to strength in demand for transmission line construction services in the Southeast.
In commenting on the third quarter results, John H. Sottile, president of Goldfield, said, 'Both the electrical construction segment and real estate development segments recorded strong results and the marked increase in the backlog in both these segments should favorably impact future results.' Mr. Sottile also noted that 'the September 30 backlog does not reflect the recent hurricanes affecting Florida and the Gulf state areas.'

Thanks tom, and enjoy the weekend all
LOL sorry. I would become depressed too if I had to list those again. That's why I don't diversify too much anymore. Diversification should be optimized: just a few stocks (4-5 at the most), but be careful. It would also be a good idea to get some big board stocks. How do you diversify now tom?
You want to be long on a stock, you should be long from the bottom. Take for instance ZENX, a nice stock to have been long from a dime this year.
ohiotom it was you who was long on some stocks for a couple of years. Isn't it? Can you list those stocks for me? I would be interested in knowing which ones they were.
alarmguy you have a list of those stocks you held for years and dumped recently? I would be very interested in knowing which ones they are as I'm in the process of categorizing every stock according to health.
You know it's easy to think that way, but there are plenty of penny companies out there with good financials and good stories. The thing these companies lack is a regular stream of PR's. I would like to see a shift in volume from these crappie stocks that are acting as vacuums of the market's money to outstanding healthy stocks that are just sitting there. Right now there is a great deal of stocks that are really good deals technically:

Also bashers.... Don't bother with them, and don't trust them. Talking with them will just make your stock worse. Don't try to justify yourself to them, or dispute their claims. They are the negative side, and if you want to know the "potential" negatives of your stock read what they have to say.
I agree with you about pumpers. I must admit I promoted some stocks that went sour myself. Take IGTN for example: who would have thought that that healthy company would plan a reverse split. Others that I've been wrong about: ICAN, DDSI, JPHC, MOBL, and many others. So often these penny company CEO's turn on the hand that feeds them. I suspect they do so for personal gain, and even going so far as to colluding with those hurting their stock. Why the heck so many of these companies take the route of dilutive financing is beyond me, but I suspect it's to setup their stock.
IMO these financers who lend out tens of millions of dollars for stock do so to take tens of millions more from the stock market. These financers achieve hundreds of millions in profit by selling virtually an unlimited number of shares. Their share supply is two-fold: through conversion of debt to stock, and through shorting from an offshore account. Many of these financers are offshore in the first place, but I bet those who are not have some offshore connections.
You have to protect yourself in this corrupt market. I say nearly 50% of the stocks are corrupted and serve as nothing but black holes for our money. I suspect the daily dollar volume in these penny markets have been decreasing for the last two years, and for good reason. The scammers have stepped up their activity, and have become more sophisticated.
The way you protect yourself: stop buying on belief, and start buying on results. If a company announces spectacular news, make sure:
-news has a dollar value for the company
-timeline of news is the immediate future
-shares were not registered in the last three months
-company has enough cash to perform the work
-company has POSITIVE cash flow, mostly from operating activity (that is more money coming into the company than going out-check the statement of cash flows)
-company liabilities are low
-history of company is protective of shareholders
-company has paid the stock market back through cash dividends or share buybacks; not attempted or planned, but actually paid the stock market back: see if there are more buys than sells on the tapes after a company announces a buyback
-company has little debt convertible to stock, and the company has been paying off the convertible debt from quarter to quarter
-no substantial litigation against the company (you can't avoid litigation)
-there are no accounting problems
-there is solid undeniable proof of the company's existence (this is of course very important)
I've made many big mistakes that make me ask myself from time to time: Why did I do that? Or make exclaim: I can't believe I did that! But the lessons I've learned from those mistakes are priceless.
One of the mistakes that sticks out was filling a large percentage of my portfolio with WHLI shares (previously WNHL @ 0.0001) before its last reverse split. When I saw the chart had once hit 40 cents, I thought the stock was a golden opportunity. Plus, who can refuse the symbol? Right? Little did I know that reverse splits were so commonplace and they weren't reflected on charts.
Another thing that comes to mind is wasting profits on stocks priced 0.0003 and under. Man I did that more times than I care to admit.
I know you already know most of what is in this post; just wrote them in case a newbie happens to catch it. There is more lessons no doubt. My plea to everyone is stay away from dilutive crap: check the filings and history: check the company’s cash balance, net income, net cash flow, current assets vs. current liabilities, and total assets vs. total liabilities: http://www.allstocks.com/stockmessageboard/ubb/ultimatebb.php/ubb/get_topic/f/12/t/001764/p/1.html#0...
Buddy I bought back into BCIT the day before it was halted. I managed to stay away from it since it begun to run because of that very threat, but when I saw the deal to good to be true, I gave into greed. If it does start trading again, I suspect it will be worth the stress it has caused me. I hope it starts trading soon; I'm sick of these suspended stocks locking up my capital.
That's a phoney stock with a phoney deal. I once saw an amazing real deal available. It was with EWME after its reverse split. The first day it traded between 0.10-0.30 right after I bought some at 2.15. I was scared to touch the water, so I didn't buy any more in those lows. The next day it was back above 2, and soon afterward it was above 3. DOPE!!!
IRBT there she goes :`( Keep in mind guys this is a big board stock, 10-30% gain is very good
IRBT I think it's ready to explode. Pressure is building with over 4x of the float traded since Wed. Too bad I got out very early and went into something else.
Man I sold BCIT for a loss at 0.002, on the dip before it exploded
IRBT fringe I've been tracking it all day today and yesterday. About 4x float has exchanged hands the past two days and today. Don't pay much attention to L2, because the shorters are really playing with it.
Excuse me. It's just been a lousy month, and I've been doing one stupid mistake after another. I'm always buying at the wrong time, and selling at the wrong time too.
What you mean my enormous misfortunes in the stock market? Or missing a run on the first flip?
F'ck me! F'ck me! The first time I try to flip IRBT and I get burned. It runs without me. WTF! WTF!
IRBT EXPLODING EXPLODING!!!!!!!!!
Someone or some group is after IRBT (iRobot). It is shorting it big time. They won't win. I believe this group likes to short IPOs, and we all they will have to get ready for UARM.
IRBT (iRobot) on a dip now. Good entry point.
