this makes 100 posts today, thats got to be a record for ctno, new records broke daily. tomorrow won't be any different.
wakingbake, that is a tough call, it all depends on how these rainmakers want to deliver this. this could go to the next platform if they desired it to, as smart as these boys are it sure would make sense for them to do that. i hope this makes it to the dollar land, i haven't been here this long to cash in short. somtimes dreams come true, time will tell. i do know this we are on the edge of somthing, every week will be a new tier.
my favorite line from kelly t. hickels bio: “Power Closer” a “Rainmaker;”
thankyou, alot of us have been here for a while kind take alot of the info for granted. ctno is encased in talent, these guys know exactly what there doing. i would have to venture to say that they all have flush bank accounts, when you want to come out on top follow the winning team.
another nice change on this board, 165 board marks and almost 100 posts today. it's good to leave for awhile and return to alot of post to catch up on. i've never seen a stock and otc stock move without board support.
when i say kelly t. hickel is our prized posession i wasn't chiding, this man walks on gold. our ceo and kelly are connected at the hip.
i hope you were able to get some of those that went for .014, or at least below .02. the more that get into ctno and don't flip, this will cause the mm's to short this. we pretty much all agree that our ceo is a very afluent individual surrounded by years of talent. kelly t. hickel is one of our prized jewels, check out his bio:

keep feeding the information, shorting a stock can be such a boost for everyone. i was in on etrade when it was shorted 76 million shares. it went from a 1.45 to over 4 dollars in a couple of days. all it takes is some news or as we have done and are continuing to do is put the puzzle together. ctno is looking like the golden egg or the diamond in the rough.
wakingbake, did i read that correctly, csti shorted ctno 237k? if so sweet, i hope they short this for 20 million shares. i'll be there when they cover, heck i might even buy a few when there covering.
i would like to see 500k traded every day for the next month, new highs will be established. tomorrow we may get a little news from the jadebridge site, someone said they may wait until the last day of the month. lol
not a big deal we will wait and see what happens, i'm sure we have chris messalas, joseph larocco, feliz roman and kelly t. hickels attention by now. they know they have a winner here, all they need to do is put out just a little info to satisfy some of the skeptics.
level II says 53k today were sells that would mean about 400k could be air shares.
500k for you is small beans to ctno and crew, can you imagine how they must feel knowng they will be owning part of a future nuclear plant. they know there rich in a huge way.
i wonder if jadebridge will announce the joint venture of them and leaddog capital markets a subsidary of the carlton companies incorporated(ctno)
ctno is the prime company for everything leaddog has it's well oiled hands in.
some new folks here, ctno is going to be huge because they are involved with some very powerfull brokers with ties on all the continents.
den, way to go, nest egg time, lets say next stop at 1.00 instead of .01
from .0089 a couple weeks ago, and we have been holding at the .02 and higher range speaks volumes for this stock.
i hear you, only decent thing from that neck of the woods is the music.
amasters, i take the no answer as there will be no news, tom has a forked tongue, not your fault.
bids starting to move up, they are so sneaky..lol
i like the action today, look for the bid to come back up. that last 8k sale shows up as a buy at .024, that would of been a short in my estimation. i wonder if the mm is getting frustrated with the lack of cooperation.

show some grit and take the bid to .03 and the ask to .035 see what falls from the tree.
whit the chinese script up on jadebridges site it definetly was targeted towards the east, putting up in september would be and issue with them. it is about saving face, on the other hand if it's aimed towards the west then as you said we know how huge ctno is without jadebridges contributions.
very odd, but we have said before the mm's know before we do. someone sell some at .024 i would like to see what it does to the pps. the only way to make this move is thru liquidity, looks like csti needs some liquids.
you know, it looks like and intentional take down, the mm's love to play those games. some of those sells probably orchestrated to entice uncertanty.
csti on the bid @ .024 and the ask is @ by csti .0245
ctno is looking good but i'm getting impatient, i'm wanting to be looking back from 1 dollar. the way i see it if it hits a dollar it will go to 2.
ctno has the makings of a great company, no pumping and no dumping by insiders. how rare is that, with corporate greed at it worst we find a gem like this. it is refreshing to see all this activity taking place around us, it is starting to come together. every move they make were there to find it, when i think of ctno i look at all the companies on the 24 floor as subsideraries. all rolled up into CTNO.
that would really suck, like watching 24 episodes.
could be news at the close, just 2 more days left of september.
i would agree with that statement, they must of read my post. now they are starting to put the pressure on.
looks like the mm's are taking a breather, usually about this time they start playing the shuffle game. same players on the bid csti and nite and csti on the ask. these guys definetly talk back and fourth, i wonder what they are saying to each other.
more people need to review the dd that has been done here, also would be nice to see jadebridge release the joint venture information. quick reference to people checking in on this thread, 120 wall street the 24 floor is the address for ctno and a whole load of other public companies as well as private connected to the carlton companies inc. that would be us CTNO. the men involved with ctno are very seasoned investors if you took each idividuals experience it would make up 200 years of experience. somthing huge is being put together, ctno is the core. anyone with otc experience will recognize and opportunity at ground zero. anyone coming in now will fare better than us, they are here now and won't have to wait the rediculous amout of time we have had to.
amaster73, are you still with us, do you still feel somthing is going to happen as stated. sure would like to see this come to and end one way or another. the thought of feimster being gone just makes my palms itch. sorry for the sarcasm, tom feimster hasn't done anything for us just for himself and 2 board members. i can't beleave the sec just turns a blind eye to the likes of him. my guess he'll leave with a million plus in his pocket, ill gotten gains never bring good endings.
50k sold at .025 mm's move the bid and ask to .02 x .025
bid nite @ .025 csti .016 on the ask csti @ .029 nites @ .05
csti and nite on the bid and csti seems to be selling at the ask. for some reason this has basically be a nite and csti ping pong match. my guess they are short and trying to control whats going on here. of course there is no such thing as price manipulation, just honest to goodness brokers keeping a orderly market in play.
