I'm hoping the anticipation of the Shark Tank episode on May 18th will get us above .12. Again, it's just a conservative thought. Of course I want this thing to get to dollarland! But also have to be realistic and know there will be a few pullbacks along the way, maybe the first big one at a nickel from profit taking (I don't mind them as they'll help reset the chart, and get some of the weaker hands out).
Hope you weren't thinking I was bashing with my last post... far from it! Just trying to keep a clear head. It's easy to get caught up in fantasy land with all the momo. I hope I'm wrong and this thing soars to .25 by May 18th!
GO $ICPA!
Not at all!! Still plenty of room for growth. Welcome! I suggest you also check out IC Places on facebook as the CEO, Steve Samblis, likes to use it to update his fans and shareholders.
GO $ICPA!
I'll take a more conservative approach and expect testing .04's on Monday-Tuesday and a pullback to the weekly 50 MA around the .034 range. I think we'll test the .05's Thursday, and close above .05 on Friday. IMO.
GO $ICPA!
There's going to be a follow-up with EZ VIP on ABC's Shark Tank.
The backstory:
EZ VIP was on ABC's Shark Tank earlier in the season and received funding from Mark Cuban, and in return agreed to give 30% ownership of EZ VIP to Mark Cuban and Daymond John.
A PR (above) was released on April 20th stating that IC Places has formed a strategic partnership with EZ VIP.
We're expecting EZ VIP to mention the strategic partnership with IC Places on national TV on the May 18th episode.
On facebook, IC Places CEO, Steve Samblis, has invited fans to New York for the May 18th episode screening.
GO $ICPA!
Hope this is the right link...

I respect you for trying to influence others with your agenda. I mean, if it were my money I'd do everything I could to make a profit too.
Unfortunately, your predictions aren't panning out.
Your quote from yesterday: "Sub penny by EOW."
Best of luck to you ;)
GO $ICPA!!!
Planet Green TV Network + Travel Tech = Just my wild guess
GO $ICPA!
...and honestly, if Steve wanted us to keep the faith, he would probably just update his status asking us to keep having faith. Nothing illegal about doing that :).
GO $ICPA!
I remember seeing someone mention it earlier, but didn't know if anyone had figured it out. I think the "Faith" thing is a good idea, but really, I don't think where IC Places got the photo from is the clue. If you remember, the day before the PR with EZ-VIP was released they added a picture of a hand with one finger in the air and the caption "one day". I googled the image and found it on a website with a story about overcoming anorexia one day, lol.
That's just a pic someone posted up for them (it's the same symbol that iHub uses when a stock releases news), probably celebrating the last PR or the fact that we love to get them.
I don't doubt there will be some red days, maybe even tomorrow, but it's my opinion that it won't crash, and we'll ultimately be at a higher PPS in mid-May. I'm sure one of us will be right. Best of luck to you :). Goodnight.
GO $ICPA!
Like your last prediction...?
From April 23rd:
"What do I see? I see ICPA's pps about to fall. I see a bullish run about to crumble and fall. Charts are pretty much useless when trading stocks like these because there's too much emotion involved but, I can tell you that the RSI is way too high. It will fall, along with the PPS.
If it doesn't happen today at close, it will happen within 48 hrs..
Cheers."
You're absolutely right. Guess we'll just have to wait until they announce it on national TV on May 18th :).
Honestly, that won't really do anything, unless you have a margin account through your broker. If you do have a margin account, your shares MAY be available to lend to short sellers. In that case (depending on the agreement you signed with your broker), locking your shares in a 60 day GTC sell limit order, etc. will prevent them from being shorted.
If you don't have a margin account, you don't need to worry.
Some of my info may be inaccurate. If so, please correct me.
GO $ICPA!
There will always be shares being sold, no matter how many the longs lock up.
But if the float is tight, and and fewer people are selling with an increased demand... sellers take control and will be able to get a higher price for their shares, forcing the PPS up.
GO $ICPA!
RSI is a good indicator to follow, but remember, it's just one of many indicators. IMO, the weekly RSI/chart is a better one to base decisions off of.
We're going to have some red days here and there... it's going to happen, but that's nothing unusual. I'm paying most attention to the weekly candlesticks. A big red hammer weekly candlestick would be a red flag for me, but I highly doubt we're going to see that in the next 4-5 weeks.
I'm so glad to be part of this, and for now, my shares are locked up tight! Love the community and DD done here. Keep spreading the word!
GO $ICPA!
To clear up any confusion... no financials were released today. It was a mistake (someone got a little excited). The last financials released were at the end of March (Annual 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011). You can find it listed above in the recent news. We're waiting on the 1st Quarter financials (10-Q), hopefully to be released sometime in mid-May.
GO $ICPA!
GM all. Lock up those shares and spread the word to the other boards! Let's break .02 today.
GO $ICPA!
He's only doing it because he's pumping KM@G and PipBoy is doubting it on their board. Just being immature IMO.
GO !ICPA!
Good thing people are actually holding their shares or else these shakeouts would kill our gains.
GO $ICPA!
will do. so quiet here though. need to keep up the chatter! it's just a consolidation day, nothing to worry about.
GO $ICPA
Been holding my TECO shares since January and still have confidence. Thanks to all you longs for keeping the faith and updates. GO TECO!
If ICPA hits $1.00 by the end of May... I would poop my pants.
GO $ICPA!
15M in Vol? LOL. Keep 'em locked up boys!
Got that right. Beat the MM's! Hold your shares kids!
ASK x BID = WOW. Pressure building :)
GO $ICPA!
Don't forget, VRN-G received funding from Mark Cuban and gapped 36%ish... That gap hasn't filled.
GO $ICPA!
Bid x Ask 119 x 120. fixed :)
KABOOOOOOOOOMMM GO $ICPA!
Woke up to use the bathroom quick (still 4:30 am here) and thought I'd take a quick peek. How am I supposed to go back to sleep now?!
This is going to be a day to remember. No idea what it'll open at or potential HOD, but thinking greatness!!!
Congrats to all who laughed at the shake yesterday and held their shares. It's not too late to get in.
Remember the strategic implications of this news. Mark Cuban / Daymond John have eyes on IC Places now.
WE DID IT! WELCOME TO THE NEXT LEVEL FOLKS!!!!
Couldn't sleep, had to look at my computer one more time and saw the new facebook cover photo. KABOOM.
Dynomite, you deserve the cred. Take a look at my last post and you'll see a few more clues that Steve's been getting at to confirm your prediction.

Last post for the night, but I gotta piece all of my previous thoughts/posts together into one, somewhat coherent, thought:
1) EZ VIP's link to IC Places
-Similar markets (nightclubs/nightlife reviews and reservations)in similar locations
-Steve's comment telling everyone to watch Shark Tank and it being "EZ" to understand once you watch.
-EZ VIP story on IC Places.com today
2) EZ VIP's link to Mark Cuban
-Mark Cuban owns 30% of EZ VIP after their successful pitch on Shark Tank during season 3
3) Mark Cuban's link to IC Places/Steve
-Mark and Steve were both at NBA All Star weekend in FEB
*Now consider the basketball / sports references
:-The #2 font texture in the facebook cover photo from yesterday
-The #1 finger today - resembles one of those foam fingers at games
-EZ VIP is a "Game Changer" news posted on IC Places website today
*Random Connections:
-Mark Cuban owns the Dallas Mavericks (hence the basketball/sports references).
-Pitbull performed at NBA All Star Weekend 2012 - Pitbull is also the celeb that represents EZ VIP
Originally I took a conservative view and suspected EZ VIP and IC Places coming together, which would INDIRECTLY link Mark Cuban to IC Places through EZ VIP. But the more I think about it, maybe Mark Cuban is taking a DIRECT interest$$$ in IC Places.
On Shark Tank - Episode 207, Mark Cuban tells the creator of HyConn that he likes his product/idea and wants to give him 1.25 million funding for 100% ownership, and will allow the current owner (Jeff Stroupe) of HyConn to sign an employee agreement to work for Mark for 3 years, get paid 100K a year, and to drive the company. Is this a clue that Steve wanted us to pick up on to correlate what's happening with Mark Cuban and IC Places?
IMHO!
GOODNIGHT!
GO $ICPA!
Wait a second... now you've got me thinking. Remember the facebook cover photo yesterday?... the one with that goofy looking #2. I remember when I first saw it, I thought, "wow, that's about the ugliest #2 they could've used for the font".
This is kind of a long shot, but does it not slightly resemble (in an animated way) the texture of a basketball?...
And again, going back to my previous post:
-Story on IC Place about "Game Changer" with EZ VIP - 30% owned by Mark Cuban
-Mark Cuban owns the Dallas Mavericks
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...
lol, I actually didn't think about that...
-#1 Foam Finger-like pic (like at a basketball game)...
-Sports reference - "Game Changer" with EZ VIP (owned 30% by Mark Cuban)...
-The fact that Mark Cuban owns the Dallas Mavericks...
Imaginations running wild ;)
Cool :). Just want to make sure people understand what I'm getting at. I know some have higher hopes, but I'm just trying to be realistic in my assumptions.
Ultimately, if my prediction is even close, it's still a VERY POSITIVE thing for IC Places and will increase the PPS. I'm expecting a PR tomorrow. Again, this is all IMO.
Goodnight
GO $ICPA!
Please try to not misinterpret what I'm saying... let me clarify on what I think is happening:
A) IC Places/Steve is NOT going to be on Shark Tank - that's already confirmed.
B) I don't believe that Mark Cuban is directly funding IC Places or is planning to buy them out.
What I do suspect: A connection between IC Places and EZ-VIP, whether it be a joint venture/partnership/merger/some type of cooperation due to their similar business practices.
From a strategic standpoint, this would INDIRECTLY link Mark Cuban to IC Places. Believe me, Mark Cuban / Daymond John (who own 30% of EZ-VIP) would be involved in an IC Places+EZ VIP move. They would not allow The CEO of EZ-VIP to make that move without their approval. Also, it puts Mark Cuban's eyes on IC Places, and if we're lucky, he would eventually invest if he believes IC Places is going to be profitable.
GO $ICPA!
I watched the episode VERY CAREFULLY last night, and I really don't think Steve is alluding to anything specific in that episode. He just wants us to have a general understanding of the show. Don't even bother watching the episode took look for clues, BUT...
DO THE MATH: Steve tells everyone to watch Shark Tank + Steve's quote to Dynomite about it being "EZ" to understand once you watch Shark Tank + EZ-VIP on Shark Tank and receiving funding/30% ownership from Mark Cuban and Daymond John during season 3 + EZ-VIP and IC Places' focus on VERY SIMILAR market segments in common locations (nightlife/nightclubs/mobile reviews & reservations) + IC Places puts out a story today about EZ-VIP = ??????????? do I need to spell it out?!
GO $ICPA!
Expecting a PR tomorrow. IMO, I don't think Steve would do a countdown, build up all this pressure, and give hints to just do a facebook announcement; doesn't pass the common sense test. I'm guessing it will have something to do with a partnership/merger with EZ-VIP, who's backed by Mark Cuban and Daymond John (tons of indicators in the hints, plus, story on IC Places.com today about EZ VIP... coincidence???). But I could be way off. I still haven't made a connection with the "kodak+times square". With all the projects in the pipeline, it could be a number of things. We'll just have to wait and see, but I know I'm excited :).
Shorters come out of the woodwork when penny stocks run. It happens every time. They see it as an opportunity to capitalize on the pullbacks and hope for retracements, which nearly always hit penny stocks hard. Don't count on it happening with $ICPA.
Good point to take from bull warrior stocks' chart - lower volume today following yesterday's lovely candle. If it was a sell-off or something to worry about, the volume would be significantly higher and we would've pulled back even farther. Instead, we had good consoldiation and people actually holding on to their shares.
It'll be hard to sleep tonight... GO $ICPA!
Just watched the shark tank episode 207 (rented it on zune on xbox live)...
I don't think Steve is hinting at that particular episode, but just wants everyone to get an overall idea of how the show works, and how some of these lucky small start up companies receive funding from these sharks.
I agree with your "EZ-VIP" assessment. Didn't watch the episode specifically with EZ VIP, but I know from the internet summary that they received financing from Mark and Daymond.
What if IC Places somehow partnered with EZ-VIP? They work in similar market segments (nightlife via mobile), and with Mark/Daymond backing EZ-VIP, it would be a great partnership for IC Places $$$.
Pure speculation of course and IMO, and the only connection I could see with the whole "times square" comment is that EZ-VIP does focus on venues in New York, but has not updated their webpage for New York specifically. IC Places could help with that :).
So IC Places + EZ VIP + Financing/Partnership with Sharks (Mark and Daymond) = potentially big things for ICPA?!
What do you guys think?
Long here since FEB and holding tight.
GO $ICPA!
Thanks for the bid x ask updates... keep 'em coming! Sorry, don't have L2 at work :(.
"5 News Early" Riddle Solved - Spread The Word!
The amended 10-Q was not the "early news". If you look on Punch TV's website, http://my.punchtv.net/, it posted that Static is part of the network at 4:45 pm yesterday (close enough to 5 pm).
This is the "early news", but I don't think it's the BIG NEWS for Friday, UNLESS they're just going to release an official PR about it friday. Read my earlier post about the facebook post regarding the Punch TV Network, talking about the fall line up. This means revenue! GO $ICPA!
