the 200k sell blocks are suspiciously absent...that's a good thing
i don't really understand the significance of the news today, but it sure reads good.
and who is this SPWS...and might they take an equity position in EWSI?
MTSL - there's the bump over $5. Also, CALI strongly higher on SA article. Same author previously wrote an article very bullish on CLNT: http://seekingalpha.com/article/1021401-why-cleantech-solutions-should-be-trading-at-19
I plan on holding some CLNT into earnings, if it doesn't run up too high before that.
CALI CLNT - same guy that lit CALI today is also high on CLNT

haha - SPEX posters/buyers were apparently confused about what they were buying, and are selling today. too bad they don't realize that they HAD a potential goldmine.
huh? this stock is all about patents now....presumably VERY valuable patents.
i suggest you read this:

interesting theories, and i think mostly right. here's something i heard of though: the holders of toxic convertibles, which is the type of convertible where the # of shares-received goes UP when the stock goes down (because the convertible is for a fixed amount of dollars instead of a fixed amount of shares), SHORT shares of the common not only as a hedge to their bond, but ALSO so that they can get more shares upon conversion.
not saying that's what's happening here, but it's somewhat common for companies that have no other choices of financing.
the level2 action was actually a lot worse than the closing %-change would indicate. not happy at all to see that dilution, which pretty much coincides with their PR releases. on the bright side was the CFO purchase, but i can't help but wonder why he'd buy if he knew they were diluting.
have a great weekend everybody.
who in their right mind is buying the .004's when they can buy the .002's next week? that's an odd way to invest/trade.
there's another 200k right behind the 124k @ .014
that's a legitimate concern to have with ANY stock
seller is back, this time thru mm VFIN. sneaky, and unfortunate at the same time.
ok that 1.7m block should signify VERT being done for today! yippee!
i'm not saying that there IS 5 mil to sell, i'm just saying that when we were up at .02, there were constant 200k blocks being put up for sale. wish they'd just show the size and let us work it thru.
well the 200k blocks IS the seller spreading his millions into smaller chunks lol. i would rather see him put up 5mil so that we know what we're up against
yep, i did the same. big mistake here. gotta learn from these mistakes
an absence of 200k sellers on NITE and ATDF would lead me to agree.
regardless, one has to ask the question "why is the CFO buying here?". there's only one answer: "to make money".
concur
.002's on deck!
AMIC nice results even after backing out the NOL gains.

that's quite a nice purchase. i was trying to see if it was a grant or option exercise, but nope, looks like it was open market. good thing too, cuz he's down about 20% yet he was a decent sized buyer.
Looks like the point of the 10Q/A was to highlight the payment of convertible debt with shares valued at 1.50/sh at the time...nice!
i'm with ya man. .003's are here, and it's just a matter of time before we get to triple 0's. i no longer have any expectations whatsoever for this stock, so my new plan is to ride it to 0001 and then sell, to maximize the pain lol
hweb, re: MTSL - yes, traders are doing the calculations and arriving at a gaudy EPS (for MTSL). Should head well north of $5 today
Hopefully, as we approach the 3/26 catalyst, we hit higher levels. I'm planning on holding this one for awhile.
SPEX seems ready for its next leg-up towards the $20 level.
And yes, WDDD looks like another patent troll with a good chance for much higher levels
Looks like a single seller rolled thru via UBSS, but appears to be done (for today).
Better days ahead hopefully.
weeee! VERT is back on the ask. that means we'll get a chance to buy some shares in the .003's! can't wait! (i'm getting punch-drunk on this stock)
I lightened him up a bit, but he's got a lot more!
I bought some. Looks like the kind of merger that benefits all parties...PROFITABLE
The company expects consolidated financials to show profitability, positive cash flow, and annual sales of over $10 million

Those should be considered insider shares; i wouldn't allocate those shares to the float in determining a float #
I think we're just seeing the .02 buyers losing patience
got the additional cheap 200k i was looking for. got full position now, and no imminent plans to add unless it goes sub .01
the stock now has my permission to go up lol
managed to pick up some of the cheap shares i was looking for in the .012's. still looking for a few more though
i had a bid in at .0045, and it got hit. Why would you doubt something like this?
Filled Buy 95000 STOA Limit 0.0045 -- -- 14:58:41 03/04/13
wasn't planning on adding today, but couldn't resist taking some of that big NITE seller that wanted OUT. .0045 add
