Thats also what my margin account allows me to do. But with scottrade 2000$ in your account at all times is required to have margin status (they change that amount now and then). Also, my broker told me no one can ever keep you from selling. If the market is crashing-or just your stock (notice of filing bankruptcy etc...) and you might loose it all, you can sell with no penalty even tho it all hasn't cleared from previous trades.
In my scottrade acount I have margin. But, I don't use the margin-meaning I don't borrow money with it from my broker. However, it does allow me to make up to 3 round trip trades with the same money before I have to wait for it to clear from the trades. I couldn't do this without my credit allowing me to have a margin account. In other words, I can buy/sell 3 times today, using all my cash for each trade, before I have to wait 3 days for it to clear. If you have more then 25,000 in your account you can make unlimited buy/sells all day long with not having to wait for anything to clear-and you would be classified as a pattern day trader. You could buy shares and sell it when it goes up (any percent) and sell it for the profit-then buy it back when it drops and sell it again when it goes up-all day long a 100x a day if you have over 25,000 in your margin account. Many day traders do this with the big stocks-buying and selling and repeating it all day long when it fluctuates between just a few pennys-all day long can equal making a few thousand a day if you have enough cash to buy a lot of shares each time. Thats day trading.
But I can buy/sell with all my cash 3x today then I have to wait 3 days for all those trades to clear before I can buy again.
I bought 500 shares of mgm this morn at 13.50, and sold at 14.05, and I can still buy and sell some other stock today with that money from my mgm trade if I wanted to-up to 2 more times today. I haven't bought or sold anything else in 4 trading days so nothing else to clear.
Thats all with a margin account-but not using the margin money just using my own cash. Margin (borrowing money to double your trading amount) is just way to dangerous if the pps drops. Thats how people loose all their cash and still owe the brockerage firm what they borrowed. You also need a margin account to short a stock.
Odd stuff going on. I would like a daily OS update if that were possible. Maybe aslo Sasso dumping his shares? Or frustrated penny traders just not seeing any action and putting their money elsewhere? Maybe heavy shorting because nothing might happen till around September? If it's shorting it could bring this down below 2's, but they have to buy back eventually. Anything could be happening here. Any members here with some insider good/bad news?
I'm holding but I do believe this could drop into the 2's again. Momentum is gone from the sails for a while and most penny stocks are for momo players. Just saying to not get shocked if it drops more, and know, you don't really loose money unless you sell below what you paid for it. It will go back up eventually. September, when the full suite is for sell is when we will see the talk shows and QVC promoting this.
I thought the newsletter was great and this is a high quality company to be invested in. It will not appeal to penny flippers at all because there just isn't any action here for them. Patience is needed here so some might sell and move on. Dillution is going to keep it from shooting way way up but not from a nice rise eventually. If they do pass a billion shares then obviously a R/S will happen sometime-but thats ok here as this company acts like a big stock anyways (no fluff prs) would do much better out of penny land, and will attract bigger investors. The govt talks sound great. So, do you sell or just hold on and wait? All depends where you bought it at, if you need money now, and most importantly if you want to take a chance of having to buy in higher when it goes up. No clear answer what to do as it all depends on your comfort level, time frame, income etc..For me, I'm in at .04 and will just hold and forget it. I like being invested in this company and with all they have going for them, anything could happen at any time.
Maybe an auto company, any software, cellular company, any big company wanting to be in on this ground floor opportunity. A big company wouldn't buy shares of penny stock but instead, would 'buy them out' etc... but the insiders would rather negotiate a merger and stay in it themselves. Before some mergers they try to drive the pps down. BMW, insurance co. ,apple, the DOT, Bieber's team. Limitless possibilities here. World wide rights to this celebrity endorsed very timely product that has a humanitarian 'feel good' campaign to it is gold for any company.
The Anti-texting campaign is sweeping the world right now.
Funny true story: I'm an RN and I was working in the ER Saturday. A very drunk 50yr old woman was brought into the ER by EMS from a big hotel pool here in Vegas (very common story here from vacationers not drinking enough water, all alcohol all day, and geting dehydrated/heat stroke to the point of dying some times).
Anyways, as we were cutting her suit off her I grabbed her left wrist and held it up and said, "were'd you get this?" Said it all serious like and everyone stopped to stare at me for a brief second. I said it again. She just mumbled "I don't know" or something that sounded like that...lol. On her wrist was a black rubber bracelet with white letters that said "don't text and drive". (like one of those 'live strong bracelets.')
Found out the hotels here, funded by the city dept of public safety, is handing them out as part of the welcome to Vegas/be safe on your vacation campaign etc.
The campaign is everywhere, it's a great product beyond what any one else has, it's gold for your image, it's celebrity endorsed big time. I like the merger idea.
Funny also: all my co workers and the EMS crew commented about the bracelet to me-"yeah, thats a nice thing to promote not texting and driving." I guess they felt since I was so serious sounding they better join in to act like they care about saving lives. "If they only knew I was mostly excited about the word getting out and my stock going up!" LOL.
Securing world wide property rights-why-so the insiders could sell and make a few hundred thous or a million? I don't think so. Frohman and Sinclair already were millionaires.
I feel good about the merger speculation. At the current OS of roughly 700mill it would take about 35-40 mill to buy out the stock. Thats nothing to a big company. Odd stuff happening today.
SIRI has 4 billion OS and is at 2.00$.
The technology that exist is not in the same league as the PG360 upgrade suite for 30$ a yr.
Biebers team is dependent on stock to make a profit-they would not be in this with out a real plan. Ever watch Entourage? I'm sure some greedy hollywood angency like The Ari Gold angency is running Biebers campaign. They want billions..
Whatevers happening behind the scenes- it's fun to be involved owning and watching this stock. Can't say it's boring as the potential is beyond speculation.
Anything could happen here: Up/down/sideways/explode/implode/merge...anything because of the timely product, the celebrity involvement. Fun stock.
Don't blame China she needs money like everyone else does. Lots of weird info posted here today. Most of it nonsense. If an insider sells 100mill I'd be concerned. I thought it was posted that Frohman hasn't taken a paycheck in 6 months? No one really knows whats going on here but many are frustrated. Someone even wants to know if Sinclair is flying first class or coach? Ridiculous. He's a millionaire he can fly anyway he wants. I think all is good at opmg. I'd like them to loose that name and ticker symbol tho...LOL.
Every person I tell about the anti texting free app says, 'yes, thats a great idea especially when it reads you your text and then helps to avoid the temptation to pick the phone up to see what some one's saying'-but-when I tell them about the 30$ a yr upgrade to the "speed limit notification and the geo fencing"-they freak out! They all say I will have that on all my kids phones as soon as it come out.
Set your childs phone to whatever speed limit you want, say 50mph, and if their phone (and therefore them) are travelling faster then that (their driving or some one else is) the parent gets a text saying the phone is traveling over the speed llimit and at what speed. Then with the geo fencing the parent can get on the comp and also see exactly where there family member is on a map. Everyone tells me this is priceless and combine it with the antitexting for only 30$ a yr and they freak about it.
It's like the parent riding in the car with them. Theres more the full version does also, but, the speed limit and geo fencing, with the anti texting, make this app a complete package that is worth a lot more then 30$ a yr.
And a lot of research on this board has been done to show how effective the policy of 'freemium marketing' is to the software and technology industry for getting, and winning the trust of, lifelong paying customers.
Ride along in the car, anytime anywhere, with your family member (especially your teen) for 30$ a yr-know their speed, location, and know they can't text. Priceless.
None of this has even been pr'd yet.
I tweeted to phoneguard and also sent a private message asking-if the app will work on all iphones or be specific to the new operating system for iphone 5 which is due out soon? I said I was phone shopping. No reply yet.
Where did you get the 700mil OS number? In the CC Frohman said we will approach 1 billion shares. I see in the sticky above-Comprehensive OPMG Informational Website-there are 1.5 billion authorized shares. Is this correct? If the app is free now is this how the company is paying the bills-selling shares? I don't know, I'm just asking for the deal here about why many think the pps should be higher on the recent pr's. I'm curious too. I read the employee share options (Bieber's, Sinclair's etc..) say their shares are 'protected against dilution.' Where do we go to find out the current OS??
I'm not screaming dilution or saying anything negative-but just asking real questions looking for real answers.
Bieber and his dad get matching Jesus tattoos. He's making news-phoneguard, religious tattoo, relationship with dad-all questions to ask him about on a talk show. Talk shows love interesting 'headline news' things to talk about.

Todays PR will scare away penny spike chasers and get more serious long term investors. It won't spike fast (thats what penny flippers want) but should rise steady and heve less dips. The PR was what you see with the big NYSE stocks. Quality stuff from a quality company that will make phoneguard a house hold name soon.
I thought it was a very good PR. Quality info, great viewing and download numbers, times square mention, and forward looking plans. Not a fluff pr from typical penny companies but rather, quality stuff. Can't play this like a typical penny-too dangerous to flipp.
He tweeted today that he was on stage last night performing as a surprise appearance and really misses being on tour. Also how excited he is to get back into the studio. A celeb saying their taking a month off means nothing.

Read the messages on the link-PG mentions the iphone app coming soon.
Since Wednesday?-they need to pr this stuff.
Wonder if Jim Cramer is watching it. I emailed Cramer about OPMG a few days ago. MadMoney@cnbc.com.
Great DD here from everyone. Can't blame anyone for being cautious and doubting before getting all excited. I would like to know what the entire advertisement is saying. Any stock symbols?

Someone is either playing a joke or it's real. Need confimation.
Sate Farm with Jesse Mccartney to stop texting and driving. He's friends with Bieb. Doesn't mention PG but it is showing insurance companies getting involved.

When a celebrity takes time off they have prepared for this. What I mean is-My wife and I were in the audience of the Ellen D show couple years ago and the audience was told that Ellen was filming two shows a day for the next 3 weeks-they told us this while standing in line so if we didn't get into the first show we could get in the second one that day. They said she does this so she can take a month off and still have new shows air all month. Price is Right did the same thing-I didn't get called down! And that was when Bob Barker was still there. Interesting note about that show-a minute before they call a person's name to come on down..they hold up a big card with the name on it just in case they pronounce it wrong-don't want two people with like sounding names running down..lol.
Bieber could of taped a show last week with someone. Just a possibility.
Some really great articles everyone is finding.
From the Alex Brown face book page today:
Another senseless death due to texting:
DPS: Man said he was texting at time of crash | Amarillo Globe-News
amarillo.com
A Pampa man died soon after he told investigators he was texting when he crashed his pickup early Thursday morning, Department of Public Safety officials said.
I don't know what Steve Jobs thinks but if you follow PG on twitter every other posting is asking about iphone. They are telling everyone the app for iphone is absolutely coming in August. The twitter postings are motivating and fun to read, and show a huge interest in this.
Hang in there everyone. The volume today shows shorting and panic selling not diluting. Diluting usually doesn't show in daily volume. The shorters have to eventually cover and the sellers will by back in too. Therefore every run up is bigger then the last. With this company lining up the product branding, eventually, one of these runs will 'not' go back down. Why? Because many, many more investors have now heard about this since the videos have come out, and those poeple are waiting for the next big news to load in. They just, for the first time this week, heard about opmg and Bieber but feel they missed the run. The next run they will all load in. The volume will be huge. And many will stay in because the campaign is picking up speed and they bought in at .10/,15/.20 etc..and have to hold to much higher to make a good profit. There won't be much flipping or shorting after we pass 0.10. Anyone getting out past .10 will be out for good. Thats all my opinion on past observations. After we pass 0.25 it's straight up past a buck.
I also tweeted the Bieb and said," I heard a rumor you'll be on a talk show next week?"
I emailed Jim Cramer about this stock. I said Justn Bieber is all over the news with phoneguard (OPMG) etc.. I said I know you don't comment on penny stock companies but with Justin Bieber all over the news with this product, and the worthy cause, this one deserves special consideration-and I'd appreciate your opnion on investing in the future of this company. Not exactly what I said but to that effect etc..I also asked his opinion of the 'freemium' marketing strategy (which I already know is a great idea).
His email is MadMoney@cnbc.com.
With Bieber's name on this, and it is all over the news, he might find it interesting. Any stock with a celebrity name attached would be of interest to this shows producers. For them it's all about the ratings.
Everyones hearing about the product but not the stock. They'll find it, I know, eventually. And I'm sure Cramer's people know about it but, can't hurt to show that some of their viewers would like the topic addressed.
After you send the email they return a disclaimer/user agreement to not hold them accountable if you buy or sell stock on what they say on the show etc.. Then you have to paste your email to this page and re-send it. Geezzz...everyone has to cover their butts in this world. Carmer should just say at the end of each show-"IMHO"....LOL.
I was really wondering how their going to get this onto teens phones without their parents threatening to take their phone or car keys away-if they didn't have PG on their phone. I was thinking most teens won't want to have their texting stopped willingly etc... But, PG management managed to get all these kids to download it all on their own and with a big smile! The parents will love it after they try it.
Amazing video showing this management knows their marketing and target audience.
I tweeted this on the PG twitter page: They answered me in 4 minutes.

I'd put more faith into stockfalcon's info then anyone else on here. And SF, could you please tell your connection the mrvegas would like to be rich now...thanks in advance..LOL.
P.S. and don't anyone harass SF for the info just take it as a good sign of things to come.
Every mother in the world is going to want this on their kids phone. Even more so when the geo fencing and speed limit notification is a part of the package. If iphone doesn't have this app working, as all the other phones do, iphone will be known as 'the phone of death' for your kid. One mother on the block brags her kids all have this app (with her nose in the air cause she's the greatest most loving mother in the world etc...) then all the other mothers 'have' to get it, and then your kids don't because their phones don't support it. Doubt Apple will let that happen. And this anti texting campaign is turning into a world wide phenomenon with Bieber on board. My entire family has iphones, one Mac desktop, and 2 MacBook pros. PG company stated the tentative date for PG for iphone is August 1st. We all will have it or get different phones.
When the videos came out today, roughly at noon, the market closed 4 hrs later. The world is just learning about this app and hasn't had time to even respond yet. And the geo fencing and speed limit notice hasn't even been talked about yet. Everythings just starting. It feels good to hold this. The insiders can't sell for a while so the best is yet to come.
I disagree. The company delivered huge. All morning everyone was raving about what they saw. The pps is typical penny stock action.
The emotion of making and loosing money! People are mad about the dipp. Totally to be expected. I thought we'd hit .10 and many who bought below .05 would sell at least half their shares or more. But now, they'll hold the rest of their shares till .25 or higher because they got their original investment back and are curious how high this will go. After the big sell off at around .25 those buying on that sell off will hold till .50 and greater up to a dollar. The higher you buy the higher you have to hold to get a decent profit etc...
So, these dips now are to be expected. Some had millions of shares they bought less then .03, can't blame them for selling today. But those buying today will hold longer etc...this is the pattern other penny stocks that shoot up have followed. Usually after the .25 sell off it's straight up from there.
Just my specualtion based on other big poppers I've seen. I actually went for a walk during the last hr of trading so I wouldn't be swayed to sell during the drop. My son said to me, "are you crazy, your not going to watch the closing hr" LOL.
About the article: Your right! I started reading it, but stopped by the end of the 2nd paragraph. I went back to re read it because of the complaining here. Most people will never get to the end. I really think it's a non issue and will occasionaly creep up here and there-to no effect. Because, it is about the 'old' company and not what it is now. Smart investors will know this after their DD is done. Most will never read the entire article.
The really big promotions are yet to get started. The free app idea is an ace in the hole for this company. They know what their doing and have exceeded my expectations so far. They are in it for the money as you are. I also want the Bieber Jacket-to sell on ebay! (Not really, I'd give it to some kid-then his greedy dad would sell it on ebay).
I got in at .04 and next day went down to .028 I was bummed but do you think I am now? Saw someone post las week they got in at .065 and when it went down to .04 they were pissed but do you think thay are now (if they didn't sell)? Just get in and you will be happy. This launch is just the start-bigger news is coming, talk shows, more videos, another celebrity endorser soon was already mentioned by Joel Noel, it's already on QVC.com and soon will be featured on the show. Today is just the start.
Thank You. Did you ever wonder why some of the most highly educated and even wealthy people do the stupidest things? Like some politicians and their sex scandels. Wall street investors and their scams they go to prison for. Lawyers and doctors that murder their wives to get insurance money to keep paying for their mistress...etc. It's all because Emotion rules our world.
Relationship decisions, money, even eating...90% of all decisions we make are emotional.
Greed and fear rule the stock world. Bieber fever and this timely product will rule the investor world soon and many, many will want a peice of this company. Thats my bet and the stock chart I'm following-the human emotion of greed and fear chart..LOL. Today is just the start of getting that emotion started for the rest of the world.
I believe it'll go like this: Most stocks are bought and sold on the emotion of greed and fear. Penny stocks attract make a quick profit traders. Those who buy in at between .2 to .7 will be very happy to sell at .10 to .15 etc...those that buy in at .10 to .15 will sell at .20 etc... those buying in at .15 to .20 will sell at .30 etc..and continue that way. So we will see typical spikes and drops of 50% each way. Very rarely does one buy in at .05 and hold to 3 bucks. The emotion kicks in at seeing the profit and then seeing it decline, so that the greed and fear cause this type of selling.
But Bieber on a talk show with this product, featured on QVC, pr that apple is available, can cause it to shoot up to a buck in a few days.
Take the quick profits-nothing wrong with that. Or, control the emotions of "yippy I made a few thousand for once" and instead, don't sell, and hold on for a big payday. If ever a chance for a big profit presented itself this is it. The promotions are only just starting now.
This will be known as the 'Bieber stock" or "the Bieber company". "I can buy stock in a Bieber company for 50cents, or less then a buck? WOW! I want some of that! This emotion will sweep the small cap (under 5 dollars) investor world soon. Today is just the start of getting that emotion started.
But we will see 50% spikes and dipps. Flipping it? Way to dangerous to be caught out. Never know when some big money is staring at this saying 'time to get in."
The intraday charts, with it's spikes and dips, display the Emotion of Money. Don't watch the PPS all day and hold that emotion in check and go long, Or, try to flip. Or, take the quick profit and get out. I'm just holding long banking on the emotion of Bieber fever and this great timely product sweeping over the investor world. Good luck to the day traders-to stressful for me.
All is just my speculation of course from past experiences. Anything could happen at any time in this crazy stock world.
PG.com page showing mostly white on my screen. Is it just my comp or are they updating it?
The timing for this product couldn't be more perfect. Not a whole lot to say today. Just sit and watch the action as the word gets out. Weekend will go fast. When I see the photo with the Brown family I'm reminded this is not just about money. I really admire them for turning their tragedy into something positive, and to help others avoid that same tragedy. We might all get rich here but they would give every penny they have to have their daughter back. This is an investment you can feel proud about supporting and getting the word out-here you make money and help save lives.
Wow! Great find. The people on this message board are great. Every thing that happened today shows we can make a difference.
Customer service is cleaned up, news about Tues, and this pic, all very very good.
