I'm just pointing out that back in AUGUST, 2010, in response to the bitter whining by many that the shares were going to be restricted, the company took the extra time, effort, and expense to lift the restriction, and now some have the unmitigated gall to complain that the original 45 day date was missed, and conveniently forget what happened after that to cause the delay. Damned if they do, damned if they don't.
Bio the date that Jack posted those blog updates is very important. AUGUST 2010.
I love how some quote PR's and then VERY, VERY conveniently ignore this information. AUGUST!
They paid money to have the restriction removed so we wouldn't have to wait 6 months to sell them if one wanted to.
I talked to Ken Stead for a bit, I'm sure you know he can't say much. He did say things are looking good and that the shares for BVIG should be distributed soon. They have everything done that they need to do and its out of their hands from here. I got the impression that its close and the delays have nothing to do with the company. Key would like this to be over and done with I'm sure. They paid money to have the restriction removed so we wouldn't have to wait 6 months to sell them if one wanted to.
THE 5 MILLION SHARE FORM T TRADE EXPLAINED!
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=61407887
All of this can work the same for buyers as well. If you want to take a large position of lets say, 5 million shares, you can instruct your broker to accumulate the stock "at the best price possible" on a not held basis or "under the average weighted price". At the end of the day, if the order was not competed during market hours, the final print will occur as a T trade at an average price.
If a company issues PRs that makes promises.....or atleast make claims on delivery dates and these dates or statement are not met, it's the company's fault. Not the SEC......KAT should have been informed by the SEC or advised by a another group the in's and out's of a share distribution like this one.
KAT should have been informed by the SEC
or advised by a another group the in's and out's of a share distribution like this one.
We were to have the shares in 6 months...how long has it been?
When the price is going up it is due to the evil MM's, but when the price is going down "No, the MM's have nothing to due with it..."
This is a real comedy show.
Somebody SOLD them. The M M s are in control.
500,000+ more Fo Knee buys just occurred at 27. WHAT A JOKER!
OVER 1 MILLION SHARES BOUGHT AT THE ASK DURING THE PAST HOUR.
If HDSN was the MM for the "insider/smart money", it is very, very interesting that they have been gobbling up shares on the buy side. Maybe "someone" knows whats coming out in the future...
Where's our guy who said he was going to visit the KAT house ? Did he find anybody there ?
Where's that news release Stan ??
Almost 600,000 shares trade at the ASK in the last few minutes and yet you focus on the the 500. What does that say?
FORM T TRADES
That is the best practical real life explanation on Form T trades out on the net, IMO. I've had it bookmarked for the past year.
I've posted before how sophisticated traders use MM's acquire, or unacquire :), for them.
To understand that form T explanation fully, you have to also understand the different advanced order types that go with it. Especially when trading thin pinky stocks, experienced traders will use order types known as "RESERVE", PEGGED (vwap), DISCRETIONARY, "NOT HELD", etc., letting the MM or broker (it's done via software today) do the work with parameters.
Note what I highlighted in red below and then apply that to the 1.6 MILLION share trade posted at 2.52 end of day on Friday. It is pretty evident that is was a BUY! I expect a PR very soon and this was pre-PR loading.
You can pretty much tell whether the Form T trades are from large block buyers are sellers by looking at the price at which the trade was entered. If it is at the lower end of the day's price range, and the stock had been under pressure that day, it was probably from a seller. By the same token, if it was printed at the higher end of the range and the stock had been strong that day, it was likely to have been from a buyer.
very hard to do so in Canada like you say we can hardly buy the pink sheet stock and some we can not even buy them
Looks like Stan has welched. Typical. They never deliver. Oh well .. next week again. What a JOKE !!!
That is NOT my post !!!!!!!!!!!
In fact it is alluded that they lost over $3 million last year.
That wasn't paint, that was the entire inventory of Sherwin-Williams getting splashed about! LOL!
800 THOUSAND + SHARES TRADED @ .25 (HIGHER THAN YESTERDAY'S CLOSE) IN THE FINAL THREE MINUTES, WITH 1,6 MILLION SHARES AFTER THE BELL @ .0252
And what do we get from you:
Neat paint job to-day. Sort of obvious.
Stan will deliver when he's good and ready and not according to your time table.
This is what I call "fudge":
"In fact it is alluded that they lost over $3 million last year."
It's not even a matter of hiding anything. In a multi-billion dollar international firm, the number of discrete line items on the ledgers goes into million and even tens of millions of items.
You won't see "Office building #387: Pencils: $12.47" on the their Annual financial report.
Thank you Akec!! THINK is the key word there.
if the 54 million was for the rest of 5 million as you say,
HDSN (Hudson) on the buy side again. Nice!
The financial statement DOES NOT show any loans (of significance) or shares that were sold by the company and the money did not come from the tooth fairy.
The 2010 financial report shows the company DID NOT SELL shares. PERIOD!
Ask your buddy about this post:
In fact it is alluded that they lost over $3 million last year.
Thank up for confirming you wrong again and again in when saying the second million was not received.
KATX has to do one or more formal full audits before it can be moved.
Yes I corrected my math but you dodged the main point that up 150% from the recent low with steady and consistent buying is impressive. You tried to mislead "US" by saying that was unimpressive.
And whats with the "we", "us", etc?
Just up 150% from the recent low with strong and steady buying since then. What a laughable comment below.
This has not turned around with any conviction yet.
Smart guy that ElCheepo. This is a grrrreat trading stock.
If a company says "We intend to increase sales by 25% next year" or "Our goal is to increase sales by 25% next year", I have never seen professional analysts chatter and chatter and carry on how the company lied, because sales only actually increased 15%.
Once again, the concept of what is a PROMISE seems to blow over many heads here.
Yes, that was it.
I think your understanding what is considered a promise is flawed, hence the difficulty.
I thought IR promised news for this week, we still have today in order not to be a lie but I personally doubt it will come
Don't build this up as another straw-man to later criticize KATX for not fulfilling promises.
Tomorrow we find out how Stan parts his hair. If we get a news release his word would be good. If we don't he could always say he meant this coming week. Like fudging. But I interpreted it as meaning between March 21 and March 25
If you know what the company does, and are confidant in their abilities and track record, then you would not need to know the exact details which would be insider info. For example, if VALE said they were doing a joint venture to explore a property, you would not need to know how many holes, how deep, exact drill dates, etc. You would invest just on their track record and competency, knowing that it WAS HAPPENING in the future. I can't make this any simpler.
What have been the issues bought up again and again about KATX. Too many shares outstanding? Additional financing is needed to fully explore all their properties? Need better communication to shareholders? Need to uplist from the Pinks? CFSG1 are experts with a proven track record at addressing all these issues. Look at the following case study:
CFSG1 Case Study
HQ Sustainable Maritime Industries Inc. (Amex:HQS)
Capital restructuring and an aggressive investor relations
campaign raise stock price from 13 cents to $10 and
bring national and international awareness to the Company.
When HQ Sustainable (Amex: HQS) first engaged Consulting for Strategic Growth 1 in April 2004, the
Company was completing a reverse merger into a shell company and the stock was trading at 13 cents.
By May 2007, smart strategic planning on the part of management and an aggressive investor relations
campaign run by CFSG1 had transformed this little known aquatic product processing company, based in
Hainan, China, into a significant international proponent of sustainable aquaculture, headquartered in
the United States, whose stock price had risen to over $10.
With a vision of becoming a worldwide leader in sustainable aquaculture and aquatic products, HQ
sought the counseling and contacts of CFSG1. CFSG1’s core strengths are capital formation and a broad
network of institutional and individual investors, investment bankers, broker/dealers and legal advisors.
With CFSG1’s guidance, HQ
- was introduced to financing sources that raised approximately $20 million for the Company,
- restructured its capital base from 140 million shares to 7 million,
- launched a massive investor relations campaign through hundreds of broker/dealers
nationwide, and
- built a consistent, energetic communications platform that caught the attention of investors and
large international customers alike. At a meeting with top management of one major company,
Norbert Sporns, CEO of HQ, was told, “We follow your press information regularly.”
Behind the Headlines
During 2005 and early 2006, CFSG1 introduced HQ to private sources that specialize in responding
quickly to urgent needs of small cap companies with high growth potential. This resulted in a series of
raises whose funds were used to
- double HQ’s production capability to meet the needs of targeted large international customers;
- acquire a nutraceutical and health care products company in China, adding to HQ’s bottom line
and enhancing vertical integration and quality control;
- open a new corporate headquarters in Seattle, Washington.
HQ suspended its investor relations efforts while effecting these goals. The Company then re-engaged
CFSG1 for a “massive investor relations campaign” targeting over 1,000 broker-dealers, numerous stock
portals, introductions to the financial and business media, and a vigorous capital raising effort.
Key to the company’s future growth would be restructuring its stock base by planning and effecting a 1-for-20 reverse stock merger, reducing the number of shares from 140 million to 7 million, raising the
Company’s share value and preparing it for listing on the American Stock Exchange.
Media - including an Open House event for the financial press and broker/dealers at the Company’s new
headquarters in Seattle, which garnered a front page feature article in the Business Section of the
Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
Strategic Communications –including:
- frequent press releases relating the company’s ongoing business development and its
leadership in sustainable aquaculture and zero-toxin seafood production for international
markets,
- updating the Company’s Website and investor presentations,
- organizing appearances on business/financial television shows such as Business & Beyond and
The World Business Review with Alexander Haig, and
- preparing company fact sheets supporting broker/dealer outreach to large numbers of
potential investors.
Clear consistent messages across all media helped brand HQ as a desirable partner for global businesses
seeking to participate in the exploding aquaculture markets expected to reach $5 billion in sales this
decade.
On May 17, 2007, HQ was listed on the American Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol HQS. Its stock
price rose to $11.25 and steadied out between $9.50 and $10 for the rest of the year. The Company
again suspended its investor relations campaign while focusing on the growth of its infrastructure and
fundamental business.
Stan Wunderlich, CEO of Consulting for Strategic Growth 1, said, “HQ’s management has a clear vision of
its future as an international leader in sustainable aquaculture providing zero-toxin seafood to growing
worldwide markets. Most importantly, they have successfully executed their expansive business plan,
meeting their milestones as planned. CFSG1 has been proud to leverage our wide-ranging contacts in
the U.S. investment community to support this burgeoning company whose high level creativity,
determination and solid performance promise future growth for itself and its shareholders.”
No absolutely not.
