low, BCSI, I exited 1/2 at 7% green. Hoping for final target to be hit this week too.
SMT, down 15%?? That's odd after such a big candle yesterday. I'm not sure I've ever seen an ascending triangle breakout get mangled so huge the next morning after breakout confirmation!
phrantic, Good one, and that sounds about right as far as the reaction on both sides to the lack of incentive for ambition.
icuc, Great find. That looks like an excellent formation, and the volume increased as well just like we want it to. It broke out bigger than I wish for first day, so we missed a good % move already... but, we did get the close above the breakout level so maybe it's safer that way. I still go back and forth on whether to enter on breakout prices or whether to wait for the close.
I'm glad to hear things are good with you...
BCSI closed at HOD on above average volume, looking good so far!
low, I'm still in! Great play so far. My 1st 1/2 position exit is set at halfway to target, or $27 with final target $29. I maybe should have set my 1st half position exit at the gap fill price, to be more slick. But I didn't. Trying to give it some room to keep the juice flowing. lol
Cobra, You mean next support? It should be the 1.00 - 1.05 area where the 50% Fib level also happens to be.
If it breaks TOO much below that 50% Fib level, then the pattern is showing weakness and may not be a valid pattern anymore. IMO. Some may give it more lenience than that as they still like it as long as it doesn't break below 68% Fib retrace, but in this case to me that might mean the handle isn't much of a handle anymore. Maybe low can clear that up.
low, MCP, wow great day on it! I'm going to hang in there on BCIS for a while too and see if it fills the gap.
TLR, Looks like we should keep an eye on it! The chart is playing out nicely.
Picassa, if you're reading this... lowtrade is wise. Don't worry about huge gains all at once, nor a favorite stock or story that's "supposed" to do great things. Just take profits, play the chart. If you miss bigger gains, so what. There will be other entries. Trust me, I learned the hard way in the past on POS and non-POS story stocks! lol
1M+ shares traded today, on the chart it shows as mostly sell volume. But, someones still want shares at .03 and took quite a few as they were unloaded today.
icuc, Welcome back! Looking forward to collaborating some more again.
That's good! It's about frickin time! They can't upgrade their otcmarkets/pinksheets tier unless they have a PPS of .25, though, FYI.
low, thanks. Good point, I just got a quick fill a few shares at 25.25 at the open. Set orders for 1/2 exit at 1/2 to target, and stop order at -5%. Trading plan.
low, BCSI: Why would that be "early" entry if the price has already closed above the ascending triangle breakout level of ~$25 like it did on Friday? Isn't that confirmation in and of itself?
Looks like I missed this one, already gapped up to around $26.50 pre market. Would have been a great entry at $25+ on Friday! Nice!
I believe oil co's work together a lot, and politicians help them, to keep new technologies OUT and to keep the monopoly on oil for energy intact. lol
onewho, Petrobras profits will go way up if they can transport oil more efficiently in pipelines at better quality and with less CUI on the pipes. Longer lasting, or better working, pipelines means a lot less ongoing maintenance expense. Which is a big part of their overhead. It's not just what they charge per barrel which impacts profitability or competitive advantage.
It's the same thing... lowering production costs for both companies. Fatter margins, less maintenance cost per barrel, etc, same thing.
Textiles still require a lot of overhead, but I agree on that note... not nearly as much overhead as oil.
That's what we're told, and I don't doubt that in many cases. But at the same time, then why was Petrobras Ok with Cabot & Aspen publicizing that they'd switched to an aerogel/xerogel pipeline solution for a couple projects? Wouldn't that be a competitive advantage?
Just food for thought. Because for all we know that's completely true, or else for all we know they wouldn't want anyone to know they're using Nansulate because they aren't sure of it yet and don't want other companies to see their name attached to it? So as not to prematurely mislead anyone? Such is the plight of a startup trying to get credibility I figure.
LOL! trade, Many penny stock CEO's might do well as politicians if the BS factor is valuable!
Could be. Let's explore that thought... why would Coats prefer nobody knows they're using Nansulate?
Nope. The problem is, though, that if it goes enough years that way then the cycle of dilution/equity financing pump and dump cycles become all the stock can do anymore. Nothing but a bunch of stock-group plays. Well, unless things suddenly improve in the business... and then I guess massive RS can be done and shred all existing shareholders and then right the ship from that point forward.
That's the catch. In that scenario, everyone except the share flippers gets completely shredded and has to start over with a new position even if the biz starts doing really well. Because I can't imagine a bloated OS being left un-RS'd if the business started doing great. But who knows.
trade, Aside from some prime examples of how both parties have wasted massive population wealth, and both started certain ill-advised initiatives for very questionable reasons... it's a shame that a 3rd party can't win. Hard to see that happening, since promising common sense and responsibility isn't what gets votes nowadays. More and more free stuff (which in the end hurts everyone), plenty of BS, and lots of ill-advised initiatives are what gets votes. The game is rigged. lol
Hi Kolorgen, I just remembered you said within a few weeks we'll see official publication of Coats Plc test data, or something along those lines. I hope that last PR wasn't what you were referring to(? - it was about 3 weeks after your comment), because that was a nice kudo but was anti-climactic and didn't say anything clearly about any future plans Coats has for using the product. We could assume that they would, since they saved 10% on steam usage. But who knows. What was that PR trying to say? Whoever writes the PRs is either purposely fluffing, or they need a lesson on how to be more clear.
Or is there more info coming from Coats? They publishing test data so that it's more believable and credible?
Gold, maybe. Back when they were mostly selling costco goods on ebay, their volume started to be substantial and I thought they would break into profitability. But, then volume went down, and the dilution started. Then the Lucky 7 came along, and some other stuff and I stopped following because the biz model didn't seem to be working anymore as far as fundamentals go.
But if they get it crankin, maybe they'll be able to stop diluting again sometime. Or if their volume is consistent, maybe someone will acquire 'em. I don't know the odds of that, but that'd be a cool outcome.
onewho, I agree with you, both seem screwed up and they've been around too long and have lost their values - or worse, they can never get elected or get to power in the party in the first place if they don't play the right games and give up the old fashioned honest motivations. They fill special interests, some overt and some covert, while mostly just trying to do the opposite of the other party instead of actually doing something beneficial to the country in a longterm way.
Gold, I agree the biz model sounds good; and I thought so in the past. But does it perform? A poster in the past went to Lucky 7 and it was some racks of clothes and a worker ringing up sales on a laptop and it didn't sound very busy. Would be good if they've got a better setup going now.
The problem with a losing business model, if it continues to lose money for a number of years (this one has, but not TOO many years yet) is that the stock gets very very heavily diluted over time. Then it's reduced to nothing but a game where only those with great timing make profits - by jumping in when bloomfield does, etc. Instead of an investment. Then again, I do realize most OTC stocks are better traded than invested in. Not all, but most. So maybe this one is doing fine in that regard.
Brock, regarding the buyback idea, have they recently broken into net profit? I honestly don't know since I haven't followed lately, but I figure that'd be the only way to do a buyback unless they'd get financing for a buyback which I doubt. Pumping isn't about honesty, it's about profits, so you might get slammed for that post. lol
Now, if they've broken into a net profit.... then I'd be thinking this business model is very interesting again!
Instead, why don't you prove even 1 of my comments incorrect. Go ahead.
Bloomfield played this stock prior to last year, also, and in a couple of cases it ran nicely then too. A two-bagger or maybe more in a couple of cases, I don't remember.
I agree, let me know when it gets exciting or when it breaks into net profits or stops diluting so much.
BZCN has a solid business model, selling brands on numerous sites, in a manner such that revenues don't cover costs now for a few years in a row. Right? Or wrong? I don't even know anymore, but .0007 tells me they are not generating net profits. If they're net profitable for a quarter or 2 in a row, I'd buy some again at these prices.
What's the game here now? Is it about hiring promoters? Is the business model still unable to cover its costs? Is the OS larger and larger? Is it now all about loading up on pullbacks and flipping for gains on any movement? Typical diluted POS?
I remember the days when this stock was all about NON dilution and the hopes that the business model might break into profitable territory. Ahhh, how times change!
LOL! Anyone who believes a word of any business / stock / revenue promises this company (cough, cough) makes, at this point, needs their head checked. No, wait, I have some excellent swamp land in Florida to sell them! Or a really nice bridge in Brooklyn that I'll sell them!
Ida, Did we get in based on some false PR such as Fairbanks, or some misleading revenue PRs such as summer of 2009, or the 50,000 gallons requested by Petrobras, or the $50M revenue projection given to investors by the CEO in 2005, or the Chinese private label partner announcement, or maybe we got in based on promises of upgraded stock listing, or maybe that the co is sure they can fulfill the US Army's needs, or countless other announcements that weren't mentioned again? We believed them just like you're doing now. They said they had a PO from China for around $1M a couple years ago, oops. They said they had a PO from DEBA I believe, oops.
Hmmmm, if everything was solid all the time then we'd be way up with profits by now on our holdings, wouldn't we? Wonder why we're not?
98% negative you say? Maybe attitudes should match the stock performance? If the stock is down 90+%, then 90+% of comments should be negative? lol If the stock goes way up, comments should adjust accordingly to match the percentage? This stock is down 90+%, the longterm chart is terrible looking, and the track record on announcements is also very bad. Happy joy!
Have you considered emptying your piggy bank into this stock? You think others are making things up, you don't care about facts or the past or track records very much, and you're certain everything will be great with this stock? And, maybe it WILL BE! So, don't worry about what anyone says nor any info and consider loading up like never before? Who's stopping you? Message boards have very little to do with the stock price of legit successful companies, so then you have absolutely nothing to get so annoyed about. Enjoy your massive success, and what others say shouldn't matter to you at all.
trade, Doesn't it take an After Hours trader to know an After Hours trader? LOL
stogie, Is a NEW competing product patent from NASA considered "OLD BS"?? A yes or no will suffice. Thank you.
Or did you miss those posts because you're so upset with the objective viewpoints that you don't even want to be bothered with facts?
trade, stogie called you an After Hours trader! lol
stogie, Sorry you are so sensitive and can't handle the discussions. What's more odd is, I guarantee you that in the past day things have been posted that you did NOT know about. But you just keep on pretending you don't care about anything but cheerleading.
Hey, how'd that PR analysis turn out? Did you have the courage to actually look up what I suggested?
trade, I agree on all counts. I guess many unanswered questions is what we get when we deal with pinksheet stocks and companies, even those real ones with real products (instead of so many complete scams in the pinks). Unless they make it to real success levels, then there are always more questions than answers. lol
trade, Thanks, and to be fair... IF all this stuff about bigger revenues for INTK is true, and IF they're about to also land a multi million dollar initiative with Coats Plc globally, then it's possible that things are already cooking right along just fine now.
That's a lot of ifs, and in the past the "ifs" didn't pan out... but we have to account for the possibility at least.
Still, I'd rather see a credible well established firm selling the product either way. Six years seems like a good trial, things didn't work out so great so far from a sales perspective. Maybe someone will buy them out.
trade, Good questions. I don't know who, if any, the other dried aerogel/xerogal particle manufacturers are, or if INTK has switched from Cabot. I don't like the concept of using a major competitor to supply raw ingredients, though. If that's the case, then I'd rather see Nansulate's IP licensed to Cabot and let them sell Nansulate since their managmeent team and credibility are far above INTK's IMO.
But about whether the patent is affected if Cabot isn't the supplier... I kind of doubt that would hurt the patent nor hurt INTK. It might just be a legal requirement that you have to give a reference to any company whose product you use as part of your patent/invention. But I think "silica aerogel particles" is what matters, not the supplier necessarily. Not sure though.
