Who is the panic bid dumper? Desperate much? Let the bid algos build it up genius! Geez, trying to get pathetic penny-ante gains instead of showing a little patience.
Ok so who was it? Someone on this board? Who smacked that opening 42 cent bid and only got 800 shares filled/sold? LOL just couldn't wait could ya? Had to dump the rest at 38 cents,,,live and learn. The bid algo's wont fill 5000 or 10000 here. They will give a partial fill and then drop it. A tired, old scare tactic.
Without the panic bid dumps over the last few days, TMPS in my opinion would already be in the 50 to 60 cent range.
Yeah, and to avoid answering shareholder inquiries.
That is good news. Looks like an algo outbid you, if that's not you at .4040.
MMs walkin that bid up slowly but surely. We knew this was coming. DO NOT SELL out to these MM/algos on the cheap! LOCK YOUR SHARES!
As Timmy & frauds, oh I mean friends continue the unlimited dilution, charts mean nothing.
AJH, another great find. We are on the launching pad.
IMO any new buyer that wants to get in and open a long position of 100,000 shares or more, and its on bigtime.
The pinksheet market makers just don't have the shares, or that is to say none that they want to sell at these current charade levels.
Im also convinced that they have ZERO appetite to provide liquidity (aka sell naked short) any shares of TMPS at these levels.
I think we are at a rare moment in pinksheet history. Everyone involved with this stock knows what time it is, everyone is watching. There is no mystery here.
OTCmarkets is showing a mere 3,066 open shares short as of 7/15. Whether that's 1 or a few different shorts, they best have a hair trigger and be ready to cover at any second.
Hit the ask if you want a certain fill. Tryin to hit the spread,,,no guarantees of a fill.
1 share at 43 cents? Is that from anyone on this board? Algo's trying to signal eachother that 'its on'?
I-man, you are at 80 cents, very critical support level. It held and bounced 2 months ago. If the short sellers and algos break that support, IMO you are in for a rough ride down. Buckle up and stop swallowing PR koolaid from JCP happy talkers. You better start buying and trying to prop this joke up.
It is indeed, 8.9m just aint a whole lotta shares to go around. The sell algos list a couple thousand or whatever on the ask at any given time, and jump at every single little peck of 100 or whatever when the ask is hit. ZERO appetite by the MMs to naked short at this point. That alone says it all IMO.
No one will lose anything. Especially no one in the corrupt far leftwing wacko enemedia, and that includes the sucka$$ WSJ. Whether its business, politics, editorial, whatever. They can lie, cheat, steal, commit high treason, and just hide behind the 1st Amendment, claiming 'confidential sources.' And just like that you are SOL pal, period. 'Sources say.'
But by all means feel free to talk JCPQ into suing the WSJ for slander, libel, and anything else they can think of. See how it works out.
I-man, all I can say is, best of luck with the 'fight to the death' scenario that you have laid out IMO. JCP longs will need a lot of luck IMO. If you believe in this 'BIG TURNAROUND' we continue to hear about, well then feel free to keep holding and buying.
Yup, that's why Im saying it may not take until October 19th. It could end tomorrow.
Because IMO the DoD doesn't like sour grape crybabies. They lost the contract fair and square after getting 2 extensions when the writing was clearly on the wall. Then they launched this little pussyprotest outside the normal process by directly going at the Navy officer.
They are being shown the door slowly but surely IMO, and they obviously will not go quietly.
The military aerial refueling sector is very important to national security. As Ive said many times, this isn't about restoring tile floors at a frickin big government building somewhere in DC or something else way LOW on any logical priority list. Aerial refueling, very important. And OAR is now an impediment instead of an asset, once again IMO.
They chose this course of action. They could've bought those TriStars and didn't. They could've made a fair offer to the Johan's for all of Tempus, and they didn't.
Lets see how it all works out for them.
Bob keep in mind it could end much sooner than October. The Navy office denied the protest. That carries huge weight IMO. If one of the 'top guns' at GAO reviews this and dismisses the entire protest, game over for OAR. NO more BS protests, NO more recourse. They are done. No court of federal claims (which would take years not months), no district court, no nothing. Done.
Personally I think OAR has shot itself in the foot for future DoD contracts, just my opinion.
Its the same BS regurgitation we've been hearing from this scam since the Johnson debacle. The 'BIG TURNAROUND' just around the corner! Next quarter look out! Every quarter this massive joke continues to circle the drain with the other dying dinosaurs.
This nightmare hoax story has been spun a bazillion ways for 8 years now. Time to just file chapter 11 and be done with it. Its the only way to any realistic future. Common entrenched bagholders don't wanna hear it, but they know its the truth.
LMAO 'debt advisers.' Nice fraud street code for bankruptcy counsel.
That's all it could be. It would've been nice to have a PR from TMPS stating that the Navy officer denied the original protest. Just sayin.
LOL no that was not me! Have not bought any TMPS today.
Is 'Ulick' still the CFO? LOL just think 'Revenge of the Nerds' And Dean Ulich. I would frickin change my name and slap my mother in the mouth.
Yup, I called GAO and got the same answer. GAO is the final stop. What we need, is VERIFICATION that's where this 'protest' is right now. An 8k from Tempus clearing all this up would be very helpful right about now.
Thanks Long, that works for me. All of this should indeed spark some serious buying interest. GAO is the last stop and Omega isn't going to win.
IMO the DoD has had it with these greedy self-serving bastards. Going forward it will be interesting to see if any of their future bids are flat out refused.
LOL I hear ya man. OF COURSE its the one Tempus/TriStar was awarded on April 18. There is no other. The Johan put out the 8k stating as much. IMO that's all we need.
And of course OAR, again IN MY OPINION, knew they would lose if they used the normal direct approach of going to the SBA/OHA/GAO, so they protested directly to the Navy official. Total BS. Be ready for OAR to appeal to the court of federal claims when (not IF in my opinion) they lose this appeal.
The answer I cant find, is if they do that does it still hold up the contract?
ABBA, isn't the 2016 contract the same one that Omega got the 2 extensions on?
Yeah I agree with you on that. This is saying there are still 1,445 shares short with 999 days to cover.
Perhaps the short or the short market maker is unaware that they still have this short position open, or perhaps they just feel STG commons
will eventually be canceled in the BK.
In my opinion, I wouldn't play with fire. They could just cover that short position and move on for less than $20 right now.
If the chapter 7 trustee here comes up with $8 to $16 million for the estate, STGGQ would quickly move up to the .50 to $1 range. All in my opinion of course. More than likely the commons will get ZERO here, which is the usual.
0% short interest according to OTCmarkets. My mistake, I guess all the shorts have covered. Very well, carry on.
Short sellers, it would be in your best interests IN MY OPINION to contact the chapter 7 trustee here and find out that she is trying to obtain fair value for 'what was sold.' And no, I am not going to do your homework for you. Its public information, deal with it before you think STGGQ is automatically going to zero. Best of luck to you. This whole post is my opinion.
What exactly again did SoSi get for the supposed $83 million they paid? Oh yeah, a 5 year $50 billion GSA contract plus every thing else STG already had. Wow. Unreal this fkn sht is allowed to happen with tax payer money. OH yeah, ALL IN MY OPINION of course.
BEEN well over 90 days, where is the big merger announced 3/5? Looks like another huge lie by these conmen IMO. They SAID it WOULD close in 90 days. Well its been 120 and nothing. Im sure the SEC doesn't care.
Dollars is inevitable. It should be there already. At $1 TMPS is still only at a market cap of $26m. Barely over $10m is still a joke IMO.
Ive been thinking that all morning. Would be nice to see an S4 after hours today. That would explain todays action. Ya never know. Maybe the Johan decided to start toying with these MMs and their algos. Proxy buyer.
This is the 3rd attempt by the ALGO's to suck out shares @ bid by running a wide spread. It did not work the first 2 times. Looks like it is failing this time. Each time the ask price stayed firm, and they had to walk up the bid. This time they're slow-walking the bid.
It was .3170 x .407,,,,bid has bumped up a few times now @ .0328.
Sooner or later it will resonate with these MMs that longs simply are not selling at these levels.
Agreed that's why I don't want anyone to panic and fall for it every time they wipe out the bid and the bid drops to some joke number in the .20s. They already tried it twice today and failed. Super small float here, if MMs want to naked short this, they are basically committing suicide. Make them earn their money, don't hand it to 'em.
MM/ALGO long spread/scam spread tricks have failed twice already today. DO NOT FALL FOR THEM! .41 x .43 now. I expect 1 more shakeout attempt before heading up to .50.
LONGS DONT FORGET TO LOCK YOUR SHARES! SELL LIMIT GOOD TILL CANCELED $10 PPS or higher! DO NOT GIVE THESE SCUMBAG SHORT MMs easy 'liquidity' power! Don't leave any amount of shares unprotected.
.36 x .37,,,36000 x 11738. No one seems willing to hit that bid. Hmmm.
Looks like MMs are running out of real shares to sell.
No one is saying its not about the money. No one expects OAR or TriStar, or anyone else to do anything 'at cost.' Don't be so condescending and asinine, you know what I meant.
Omega is holding this Navy refueling contract hostage simply because 'the rules say' they can. That may be good enough for you, its not for me. Its a matter of perspective. Eventually we will know just how genuine their intentions are/were. Now take your imaginary 50k and go.
Buck, BillJay, the only way Omega ever gets any respect from me, is if by some miracle they played this card just to make a fair total buyout offer for TriStar/Tempus. That would of course include this current $121m contract.
I don't wanna hear anything below $4 per share. In fact, make it $5 for openers.
Disagree. They ruined any patriot card they had by lodging this greedy, self-serving protest.
Using the language 'incumbent provider' clearly illustrates their arrogant, elitist sense of entitlement. They did this protest simply because they 'could.' Its been said many times here by myself and others, this is an important sector/contract with national security ramifications, its not underwater basket weaving or a contract for redoing tile floors.
Omega still has several other government contracts, but just couldn't resist that greedy protest of this one. SHAME on them and to them.
We will know the whole truth in time. Should the Navy office rule in our favor, and then OAR pushes the protest to the COFC, then we will know beyond any doubt they are in it only for the money.
