GO $RFMK!
"I have seen more robust "MoMo" before. Good points. Great volume today but I get the feeling this is just the pre-game warm up, with traders taking positions before any possible big news upcoming, which tells me that this could just be the beginning of the upside (big move up). Taking a broader perspective, the stock is nearly only 4X the par value for the stock so it is still ridiculously cheap IMO. If you look at what upside volume moved the stock today, it was various buys here and there at 2M, 3M, 4M, etc during two or three half hour periods and the rest is just filler by MMs "providing liquidity".
So IMO there could still be a HUGE vast sea of potential investors out there wanting to get into RFMK. Just my opinions."

LOOK AT THIS: "keeping track of these shorts is quite amusing. I guess some play the game differently than others; regulatory rules and then there's prison rules, eh? Let's see, I believe we were up to ~60M shares needed to cover by end of session Monday, assuming Mr Market is following the proper procedures and not playing prison rules.
Friday - 56% - 20130208|RFMK|13352708|0|23759140|O
Oops, well, I guess since there was more shorting today than covering (and regular buying, if any), we did not make any progress on covering those outstanding shorts. Hmmmm. Though there was also a T-trade printed after-hours today.
16:18:20 0.0017 7978097
So since PK stocks do not actually trade after hours, I guess we could consider this TRADE (not a "sell" or a "buy" or even a "sale" LOL) as being likely a buy to cover, in which case the short sale percentage for the day would still be high up above 40% but at least not over the suspicious 50%. So if we imagine all of todays shorts were already covered (non-DTC affiliated brokerages) and 100% of the rest of the volume consisted of buys to cover our running total of short sale transactions then that still leaves us with just about 40M shorts that still need to be covered by end of session Monday. Hmmmm, it should be interesting to see how the stock trades on Monday!! I suspect we could see a huge rise in volume on Monday if indeed we assume these firms are properly covering (T+3) as is claimed by some on message boards from the peanut gallery. Judging by past shennanigans, should ~40M shorts need covering, I suspect at least ~80M shares would need to trade because heavens no the sketchy market manipulators are not about to only cover (buy) and not dump, short, naked short and flip in the midst of buying to cover. I say "at least" because probably the increased volume would pull in flippers and traders and so they would be looking to short those transactions as well, so lets say ~20M retail volume plus the shorted side of that, so another ~20M (in new Monday short sales), and then maybe add another 5M or so shares just for good measure. My prediction is that Monday will trade about 125M shares, assuming everything is on the up and up, but no telling where PPS could go because we all know real natural price discovery has been absent in this market for some number of years. Now, it should be fun to watch what happens Monday!! Heheheh I guess we will know by Monday evening if all the accumulated short positions have been properly covered or not, or at least even had the chance of properly covering. If there is not sufficient volume then we will know from then on that the junk spewed by some about what is really happening behind the scenes is all just, well, a lot of ... cold air?!
GLTA." GO $RFMK.
Yes go $RFMK to .0065 first stop on our way to .03
"There are MANY highly anticipated PR's coming from RFMK. Not just 1 as your post implies.
We have :
The 10K
DTC Chill Lifted
UP-list to the OTC Bulletin board
Announcement of alliances/mergers with other companies
The Haute Vape Product Launch
Tom said they were patenting their first vaporizer for dry blends/and ordering inventory soon.
MCM contracts from the wholly owned subsidiary - Medical Cannabis Management.
Anything that Cheryl has been working on is Due ( What is after Ricky Lake?)
I am sure I forgot some ...
As time passes the tension builds and the bottom PPS will get higher - It looks like it is already happening.
Go RFMK "

February 6, 2013 Behold, the Power of MMJ: Michigan Collects $10M in Revenue Fom Marijuana Applications
Tags: cannabis revenues, michigan medical marijuana
Perhaps that whole MMJ crackdown thing in Michigan isn’t such a good idea, after all.
The state collected $10 million in application fees from medical cannabis patients during its most recent budget year, which ended Sept. 30. After subtracting costs, cash-strapped Michigan netted a surplus of more than $5 million through the program, according to a new report.
If there’s ever an argument for states to legalize and regulate medical marijuana, it’s this type of data. The numbers show the potential for MMJ to lift states and cities out of the economic doldrums via registration fees and tax dollars.
In fact, these figures could come into play down the road in Michigan, as they might help convince lawmakers to rewrite the state’s cannabis laws in a way that is favorable to the MMJ industry (and particularly to dispensaries). Michigan could make tens of millions of dollars more by putting a system in place to regulate dispensaries and collect special taxes on cannabis sales rather than hinder the industry by cracking down on it.
Revenues from the program are on the rise, increasing more than 10 percent from the $9 million recorded during the previous previous fiscal year, because of a spike in the overall number of patients.
According to the state’s MMJ website, there are currently 124,417 active registered patients – up from 60,000 two years ago – and another 25,857 caregivers. Several areas of the state saw particularly large patient growth, including Cass County (which reported a 56% increase during the last fiscal year), Muskegon County (44%) and Berrien County (37%), according to the Associated Press.
Most patients in Michigan pay an annual fee of $100 for their medical marijuana cards, although some low-income residents qualify for a reduced rate of $25. Caregivers also pay a fee. That money is then used to cover the cost of the program, and any surplus goes into the state’s coffers.
