Initiative 502, which regulates the production, processing and retail sale of pot, defines marijuana as the parts of the cannabis plant “with a THC concentration greater than 0.3 percent on a dry weight basis.”
Anything less, Swanson says, makes a plant cannabis and not pot and therefore is legal to sell. Or buy. By anyone.

The shorts/Bulls are going to fight hard to stay away from that margin call figure...and, they have hundreds of millions of dollars to fight with...
Looks like they turned back a rally with some doubling down on their short position...
Please beware that in 2012 NITE, the AX MM in ERBB, was acquired by a billion dollar hedge fund... Could he be doing the bid of his masters? Or, could others be shorting ERBB through ERTF, who could be running the shares through the ECN NITE???
The plot thickens... $1.11
Just some food for thought...DIG...just trying to make some kind of sense out of stock manipulation...
Actually...the .021 range appears to be the lower beginning of the short squeeze...if my unscientific numbers are correct...
Looking at the shares traded in ERBB in a year, there have been 20 billion shares traded. If we can go by the daily shorted shares and percentages, then we can assume that over the year approximately 6 billion shares, minimum, have been shorted. (that's at only 30% shorted, and we know that there have been as much as 70% on certain days)
I think hedge fund shorts ran the stock up on purpose, cashing in at the $.10 level, turning and shorting the stock, collectively, all the way down to the present PPS.
As best as I can ascertain, the margin call is based on the amount of money invested, margined, and put on a formula, which usually is from 25% - 50% of their money invested. If these guys have shorted hundreds of millions of shares in a year, are possibly still holding them, then, we can see why they are fighting so hard to keep the PPS down...as they have a serious butt kicking on the way...
I would think when we get beyond .021 some of these boys will begin to start getting some margin calls...which is why, I think, they fought so hard to keep the PPS below .018 recently. Just an educated guess, as I am still trying to understand the formula, and math is not my best subject... LOL
"In ALL your getting, get understanding." $1.11
Based on the huge number of shorted shares in USEI posted on file...there is a short position that ranges between 30% - 60%...based on any given day...
Also, assume the general attitude of the shorts is to probably not just jump in and then jump out, wanting to ride the PPS down till the death of USEI is accomplished, there could be as many as 2 billion plus shares that have been shorted, out of the 5 billion shares traded...or that is still shorted, depending on how the shorting hedge fund is playing it. Look at the total number of shares traded during the year, and see who the big MM players are...

Also, the margin call cover appears to be approximately 30% of the investment. The margin call usually falls between 25% - 50% of the investment, depending on the size and funding of the hedge fund.
Based on the present PPS of .0035 the margin cover call can come as early as .0046 (30% of .0035 present PPS) for some of these guys... I am just an amateur, and doing some DD on these numbers...I could be wrong...we cannot believe in any of these numbers until they actually happen... Just Google "short selling broker margin call percentages", etc, and this can get you started...
Lock up those shares with a higher sell price.
Oh...and there cannot be a short squeeze without volume...what we are seeing now will not move a turtle... All JMHO, of course, FWIW $.25

Shearin could not have fooled all the news programs, who do their own DD before broadcasting...that, in itself, should give more confidence that ERBB is what it says it is and will deliver...
I understand what you are saying...
But, I think that investors will take a flyer on USEI, due to the industry, it is heavily shorted, and it is a good pump and dump candidate...just as we are seeing that it is a good short candidate...
I would get my money out of this thing, and then play with house shares, until Tony, and/or any affiliations strike it rich. Do not fall in love with penny stocks...
The level 2 has acted a bit weird, at times, which tells me, in my limited experience, that the MM's might be just messing around with it to see if it will run one day. Or, the Bulls might be slapping the ask a few times to see about the potential of a short squeeze, etc. I do not know...just speculation from an inexperienced investor...
1.5 Billion OS, and a 700 million float, that can turn over in one trading day, if the right things happen...and USEI will have its day, in spite of Tony... It is just a matter of when, and how much will it run, and what is the short position when it does run, etc. JMHO
I would think that the news needs to be spread tonight...to allow others to do some DD...
A heavy surge the first half hour of trading could break this thing loose... Break through those .0038's...
Not enough volume yet to bring the big groups to play...but, it is wound tight, oversold, and heavily shorted...sitting at the top of the resistance...all a recipe for some excitement if Bully comes to play early tomorrow...
GLTA...you might be close...
Great observation and point, iwant...seems very logical, as the brokers would know that the high dollar lock is just a bogus one to cause him to put out a margin call...thanks
Yeah, one of the biggest short squeezes in history was pulled off by letting the stock get beaten up by the shorts and hedge funds, and then, bam...the hammer was dropped...

ETRF has been hurting the PPS, and driving it lower when he has been on the ask the last couple of weeks...
Let's see if there are any serious bulls out there, especially with only 8M shares traded today...would be a positive sign...
Where's that full frontal assault, Stephen???
We are doing our part...showing confidence in you and the company...buying shares in your company...locking them down to keep them from being shorted...
Drop something huge...or no more fluff PR's that the negative voices feed upon...
Looks like NITE got his shares, from that 142,000 sell on the ask...or maybe he just naked shorted them...
Another $7 sell of 500 shares by NITE on the ask...quite comical...
NITE putting out some calls for shares with 700 shares and 1,700 shares on the ask... Who would buy, or sell 700 shares for $23.00... LOL
This could be good for the longs...

To put ourselves in position to win...we need to do 3 things...
Lock up all of our margin shares at a very high dollar sell price, which takes those shares back from the short selling, naked short selling action of the shorts and the MM's.
Buy more shares, together as a unit, and not just a buyer here, and a buyer there...the PPS increase will hit radar screens that will bring in more reinforcements to buy, etc.
Put out the word to as many message boards as we can...especially in the marijuana sector, which is beaten down...people need to see ERBB on their message boards...and, they will be curious to check it out, and do their own DD...I know I check out some of them...
We can do this...
"In all your getting, get understanding." $1.11
There has to be solidarity here...and with such a large float, tens and tens of millions of shares will have to be locked up to possibly pressure the broker into a margin call on the hedge fund...creating the potential short squeeze.

My thinking is that if the Broker is visibly seeing those loaned shares withdrawn from his wallet, he will call upon the hedge fund to make good on the margin call...as, all of a sudden, millions of shares that he thought he had to loan out...SUDDENLY ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE...putting his butt in a sling.
Maybe the Broker will pass the buck back to hedge fund where it started, and thus creating the short squeeze that we want...
Lock up those shares, Longs...let's work hard to turn the tables on the short sellers...

Shearin needs to listen to some of the ideas of the Shareholders..
The Longs should put together a collective brainstorming of ideas, from PR's to various other aspects of the business, and submit them to the Management.
Longs have a vested interest in the success of the company, many are involved in various businesses, and have work, and management skills, etc.
This would provide a free consulting service to the management of ERBB.
Shearin could take what sounds good and work on it...we all win...
One of his confidantes could gather the suggestions in PM form, as to insure that the information gets to everyone... LOL

USEI has had days of short sells of over 50%...
Lock in those shares at a $10 - $100 sell price and see what happens...
I wonder if locking up hundreds of millions of shares by the Longs would send an immediate message to the Brokers that might cause a margin call on all those shares that have already been loaned out to shorty...wouldn't that be a very pleasant surprise?
Try it, and see if there is a quick jump in the PPS...it does not cost us anything to mess with shorty...and it might just bear fruit...
Just a thought... $.50
ASK..."ask, and you shall receive; seek, and you shall find; knock, and the door will be opened unto you."
By the way, it is common knowledge that the daily short position in USEI has varied from 30% to as much as 60%. Wouldn't one think that the Bulls, knowing this, would rush in with some serious capital to cause a "short Squeeze"...
LOCK UP THOSE SHARES, USEI longs... $.50

Yes, locking up your shares with a high sell price on them will really work...but, unfortunately, some do not believe this, and do not want to take 20 seconds to do it...to see if it works or not.
Longs must use every advantage at our disposal to increase PPS...the shorts do...
Ahhhhh...the calm before the hurricane...
Yeah, only 3 things in common... LOL
Was in Pro Baseball much of my life...Scouting and Coaching...
Do not know what the 111 signs are that you mention...
And, the $1.11...that is at least ONE future PPS amount that came to my heart...so, I stay with it...SEE it happening, and count it as being done...
Stay encouraged...
"All things will COME...TO PASS."
I SEE the Market Manipulation ceasing...I SEE the shorts having to cover at high PPS, further fueling the PPS...and I SEE the MM's taking their stranglehold off ERBB to let it run...AND, I SEE big bucks entering the race to fuel the massive run, and short squeeze... $1.11
I guess this means that I am an ERBB believer, and fan...
