fedfunz,it was @5 now is back @4..strange this am.EM
Buyers be back once they realize sale is over.IMO
no_brag_just_fact: have some faith!LOL
no brag, maybe that sale IS over after all.EOM
Is ask @.0004 appearing thin??TIA
..and if Company is done with 504 selling pps should start moving up in a hurry this morning. How many 4s on sale..L2 anyone???
ToddWH02, I'm also thinking:
" that there is some truth to the suggestion that perhaps they had to close out the 504 prior to releasing any big news that might be foreseen as improper during a 504 sale.."
so, if they are done we'll have our news.
Great switch... up from here??
ToddWH02, thanks again.EOM
I really think we are getting a PR today.eom
overhead,I agree TRUST is needed for sure.EOM
Today is definitely time for that semi-succulent PR, no question!!
LOL!!
frankiefingers, if they are still selling some 504 a poster recently said they can't 'pump' the stock while doing that.
So if we have a PR today will likely be a 'harmless' one.
One of those that bashers will call fluff.IMO
A harmless PR on the new eFinix enrollment could be coming today: unless something more relevant is ready to be revealed...
overhead: that's correct!!LOL
synergetek: if they are still selling the very last of 504 or if they were just done with it: no PR about financial obviously.
If launching date is in two weeks: no PR about product release either.
So what's left?? Maybe TV ads info...but that would reveal launching date....We have to wait, that's all.
I meant... partly juicy...lol
Thanks, there is always a chance that 'dude' is taking a break to lure us back in. In any case got to be very close to the end: in which case I bet along with tex on a partially juicy PR for tomorrow.
I'd like to know:are they selling @.0005 NOW??TIA
IMO sale @.0005 is over!EOM
THAT IS IT:.0006! Hopefully.EOM
IMO ask .0005 is floor and once that's gone look out, maybe today!!
tex,once they are done they can talk to us about share stucture and everything else, not before that IMO
tex, I believe that too and got to be about over:))
stefan, thanks.eom
Specs,if you did not get bid/ask before: how did you use trade pinks?
Rough count of shares traded last 6 days: this could be last day before fireworks!IMO
Specs: on 5/3 120k was left from the 504, so....
120k/.0005=240M...we are about done right??Has iFinix sold that many the last 6 days?? I think we are very close..anybody out there with numbers??TIA
overhead:yes, I was wondering about that too.EOM
frankiefingers, we had a decent spike yesterday and today is Friday..actually those isolated spikes in volume sometimes are very meaningful: release is approaching fast.
...and wine in the cellar is ready to be tested.LOL
duelittle2, I'm sure they know THAT very well.
Also that maybe the reason of the delayed share structure info, but Todd said that is around the corner. I think we should excited about upcoming developments.
duelittle2: that's possible and I also think that, but we and MMs know it's about over (that's why MMs showed up now). IMO
texasholdem, I agree leaks would have propelled pps.EM
OT m0m0mey0: please check INXR board.Thanks.

How Valuable is INXR?
Today I spent the day in a stock trading chat room that I participate in once in a while. Every day I spend in that room, at least 5 people complain that they're not getting accurate L2 information, even though they may be paying extra for L2 service.
I have both Microcaptrade L2, and Alphatrade L2.
Microcaptrade charges me $119 a month, and Alphatrade about $60 a month. That's $180 a month.... for what? L2???
Just because Ameritrade doesn't do L2 for pinks?
You got it.
You may ask, why oh why do you have both?
Because, while each of them have their pluses and minuses, ultimately both of them SUCK. In a five day period, I can guarantee that I'll experience 4-5+ problems between the two of them. Freezing L2's happens frequently. MM's missing from L2's happens frequently. MM's getting stuck at the top of the bid or ask, happens frequently. How frequently? Frequently enough that I have to have both of these crappy services so I can constantly compare them to see how accurate they are. Nothing takes you out further of the zone than when you have issues like this with your trading tools. Not to mention the screen "real-estate" that having 2 L2's for every issue can consume.
Microcaptrade is nice because it has a nice scanner/screener. It has the MM Activity log that I like, and makes available the entire day's time and sales regardless of what time of day I bring up a stock. The new charting feature they've added is OK, but something that I'll never personally use. They do leave most of the MM's up at the end of the day, at the last prices posted before 16:10, which is nice. I do like their news feed. However, Microcaptrade SUCKS because it freezes, their servers go down during the day, MM's get stuck, fail to update, simply don't display, often get reset randomly, doesn't display the high/low of day, nor volume accurately, and doesn't print T&S past 16:10. It doesn't give you 10-day avg volume. Any kind of network interruption will cause you to have to log in and bring up all of your windows again, no matter how many you had open, no matter how carefully you placed them on the screen. It costs $120, it has all of these problems, and tech support calls you back 1 in 5 times you call. Only when you scream bloody murder about their failure to address your issues to they attempt to call you back. I've called them so many times their tech support knows me by voice. And lately, I've just given up calling them, and when they have issues, I use Alphatrade.
Alphatrade, on the other hand, has no screener, no MM activity log, posts MM's in reverse order by time (which makes no sense), shoves advertisements in your face when starting up, only gives you the most latest T&S print with no way to bring up the rest of the day's prints. MM times and positions are less well represented after market close than Microcaptrade. Alphatrade does give you afterhours prints that Microcaptrade doesn't show. Alphatrade does give you the 10-day avg. volume, and many other bells and whistles like charting and portfolio management.... none of which I use however. Really, I just want a good stable L2 and news service. Alphatrade deals better with recovery network service interruptions than Microcaptrade. Alphatrade SUCKS because it too will freeze randomly and/or skip T&S prints. It costs $60, and I still can't get a guarantee that the L2 I'm looking at contains accurate information. What good is it???
Actually a better question is, what good is one without the other?
Both of these services are Java-based. They require a browser, like IE or Firefox. I have to step through 2-3 browser windows to supply my username and password, then get a seconary screen and start the java-based main menu. I find IE works better for Microcaptrade, and I find Firefox works better for Alphatrade. Both can be slow to start up and sluggish in their performance. The performance of java-based applications is largely tied to the version of java virtual machine (JVM) installed on your machine.
Have you ever had a program steal the focus of the last browser window you used? Have you ever been using, say, Alphatrade, and Paltalk... and you click on a link in Paltalk, and then next thing you know, your L2's are gone, replaced by that link from Paltalk that opens up and steals your browser? Have you ever had IE crash on you because you viewed a bad page, and it took your L2's down with the crash? Have you ever opened multiple instances of IE, loaded L2's in one instance, and some other sites in another, and then one of your IE instances needs to be killed for some reason, and you have to play the pot-luck guessing game as to which IEXPLORE.EXE is running L2's and which one contains the page that hung IE that needs to be killed? These are all of the caveats of browser-based/java-based tools. They are VERY real problems, and can be very distracting during a trading day. You end up fighting with the tools, instead of using the tools. Minimally, if everything goes as well as can be currently expected with the way these tools behave, you continually have to wonder whether you can trust what you're seeing.
Both of these L2 providers will argue the value in being able to go to any machine and use their service, because all you need is a browser.... Well, which browser, I ask? If I can't guarantee compatibility and proper functionality on any machine because of ties to specific java versions, is such flexibility something I can count on? After all, if I go to my friends house, and use his machine, he may very well have a need for a specific java version for another program that is critical for him. I can't very well just upgrade his java just so I can use what I need to use, because then his machine will be hosed for his use. These incompatibilities ultimately negate the value of the proposed idea that you can just go to any machine and use their service.... because you really can't.
If I may go a step further, and beg the question, is go-anywhere functionality something that is really critical? Critical enough to give up stability? How many traders really use anything but their own desktop-based trading machines, or their own laptops? Most traders have all of their tools installed and set up on one or two machines, and that's it. They don't float all over the globe using other people's machines for a serious all day trading session. So there's no real value in the go-anywhere "feature." It's quite the rouse, and therefore, tools that are so critical don't get the attention they need from the companies that develop them.
Now, think about this. Alphatrade is rapidly becoming a dinosaur. They've been around for a long time, and I don't see any new features being added. If you have a suggestion for a groovy new feature, I doubt you'll get anyone to listen at Alphatrade, much less commit to working on including it in future releases. They make no special commitment to microcap/nanocap traders. Microcaptrade, on the other hand, is actively working on their products, but continues to have the same stability issues they've had for over the 8 months that I've had their service. If they put as much time into stabilizing their platform as they do adding mostly useless (to me) new features, it might be worth the $120 I pay every month. Furthermore, their service cannot be used for NASDAQ stocks, and only works for OTC (Pinks) and OTCBB issues.
I could go on and on about this stuff. Many of these issues... discovering that some browsers work better than others, etc.... I've discovered them and worked through them because I'm a computer professional with almost 25 years experience in the field. This is not the kind of expertise that a trader should require, EVER.
What we need:
We need a stable, DLL-based, non-java-based tool, that provides accurate data feeds for L2 and news, is customizable, capable of providing L2 for Pinks/OTCBB as well as big board stocks. I want a program that logs me in quick, saves my password, and restores my settings exactly the way I like them. We need a company that is responsive to their users needs and desires, and provides good support. This is exactly where INXR is headed, and this functionality is only the tip of the iceberg of what is to come from INXR. None of what I've mentioned addresses foreign exchanges, trading platforms and trade executions, portfolio management, alerts and triggered trades, etc.
Am I eccentric in having both Microcaptrade and Alphatrade? I have met my share of people who are exactly like me. Who have both for the same reasons I have both. Because they both SUCK.
Now, I ask you all. Are we ready for iFinix RealTime yet? Is there room in this market for another player? Hell yeah! What's the potential? Well, I've turned about 15 people onto trading pennies in the past year. I've told every one of them that they MUST have L2 for Pink Sheets if they expect to be successful. To my horror, I've had little choice but to recommend either Microcaptrade, or Alphatrade. Many of these people already have Ameritrade or Etrade accounts that don't supply Pink Sheet L2's.
That's 15 people to whom I've recommended L2 service.
Today, I met someone in that chat room, we shared our tales of woe surrounding Microcaptrade and Alphatrade that we both have. And then I mentioned INXR. And he said, "Oh, what's that????" And I proceeded to tell him about what INXR has cooking. You can bet your asses he'll be buying tomorrow.
Tip of the iceberg, my friends.
Hold your shares. This is going to get good. Far beyond merely the value of your shares is a company that will be working their butts off to show Microcaptrade and Alphatrade how it's really done. I think they'll have something to show all of us, and perhaps one day really soon we'll be able to trust some of the most critical tools a trader can own.
All IMO, LONG for LONG on INXR.
Make up your own minds, and follow your own path.
