Small caps StockCharts John Murphy

SC newsletter today has this short piece & $RUT chart.

http://stockchartscom.cmail2.com/t/ViewEmail/r/D369678D3712B95A2540EF23F30FEDED/3C38BCA88B88E06A6A4D3D471B02C3D7

SMALL CAPS CONTINUE TO LAG BEHIND
by John Murphy | The Market Message
One of the nagging concerns about the current market rally is the lack of participation by small cap stocks. This week's action was another example of that troubling trend. The Russell 2000 Small Cap Index lost -0.72% this week (versus a +0.54 gain by the S&P 500 Large Cap Index). In a strong uptrend, small caps should be rising with large caps. Chart 4 shows the early July top in the Russell 2000 failing to overcome its early March peak and losing 4.5% since then. The RUT/SPX relative strength ratio (below the chart) shows how badly small caps have lagged behind. Since March 4, small caps have lost -4.7% while the S&P 500 has gained +5.5%. That 10% underperformance by the RUT is the worst since 2012 when the market was in the midst of the last downside correction. The good news is that the RUT hasn't yet suffered any serious chart damage. Friday's 1.5% gain kept it above its 200-day moving average. The RUT may also be finding support at its 62% Fibonnaci retracement level measured from its May low to its July peak (green lines). Although I remain concerned about the relative weakness of small caps, the RUT would probably have to fall below its May low to signal a serious problem with the rest of the stock market. For the record, small caps usually peak first at market tops. Janet Yellen's comment at midweek that small caps were "stretched" contributed to some of this week's selling.

UK's Serious Fraud Office Investigates Possible Forex Rigging

The U.K.'s Serious Fraud Office is gathering information about possible rigging of the foreign exchange market, the latest sign of the seriousness of the global probe into currencies trading.
"We are receiving and examining complex data on this topic," a spokeswoman at the SFO told The Wall Street Journal Sunday.
"If and when we open a criminal investigation, that decision will be announced in the usual way," she said.
The involvement of the U.K.'s top antifraud agency in the global currencies probe was announced last week by Martin Wheatley, chief executive of the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority, who said his agency was working with the SFO on the matter.
Since last year, authorities in the U.S., Asia and Europe have been investigating possible misconduct in the GBP 5.3 trillion-a-day foreign exchange market, including possible efforts by traders to manipulate the market to their unfair advantage.
The FCA has said that the investigation has led to "unprecedented global cooperation" between global financial regulators, including requests from other regulators in 52 instances solely related to the foreign exchange probe.
Since the start of the currencies market investigation, more than 30 staff in several locations have been fired or suspended by top currencies dealing banks.
Regulators and bankers have said the currencies probe could be as big or bigger than the investigation into efforts to rig a key interest-rate benchmark, the London interbank offered rate, or Libor. Ten firms have settled Libor-rigging allegations or been fined by authorities, while prosecutors in the U.S. and U.K. have filed criminal charges against more than a dozen individuals.
The FCA said earlier this year that the outcome of its currencies investigation is unlikely to be public before 2015.

Kunstler also US faith friendly thriller
Yes read that quote. Ugly part is how some even in late 1920s & certainly in 1930s were trying to write off Hitler's goons as just a psycho fringe. Granted that was the first example of mass mood manipulation on such a national scale 'politically'. Before that it was usually for God, Church, King, State that a people could be brought to a group-think boil.
National Socialism was able to mix in the factors seen in Napoleon's and then Lenin's national unification with a war like foundation seeking mass industrial expansion via 'elbow room'.
Mid East thing seems hell bent on lighting some kind of fuse along those lines. Force the populace into one path, and then reach out across state lines. Reminds one of Saddam into Kuwait but this time using propaganda more than a hired standing army.
Kunstler is a sharp cookie with a depth of experience. Be interesting to see his take on this.
Of course the US isn't immune to narrow group ways of thinking.
I write this as one who spent some kid years in the suburbs of Philly. Took Manhattan to shake up my brain pan. Philly was a nice place but does tend toward narrow thinking. Luckily there was enough of Ben Franklin's broadness around to act as a balance.
Never heard/read a word one about this film until today.

Faith Friendly Political Thriller Persecuted Outperforms Sex Tape and Planet Of The Apes in Key Heartland Markets As Film Comes Under Fire For Casting Of Fox News Host
LOS ANGELES, July 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Persecuted, a new faith-friendly political thriller is surprising box office watchers by out-performing blockbusters Sex Tape and Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes in key heartland markets including Wichita, Memphis, Columbus, Philadelphia, Wilkes-Barre, and Cincinnati.
"We are very happy to see that many traditionalist viewers are coming out to enjoy this movie in such large numbers," said writer/director Daniel Lusko, of One Media LLC. "I never dreamed we'd be outpacing the big movies in these markets. It's a thrill."
Despite these strong numbers, the movie hasn't been as popular with critics who have criticized the choice of Fox News Channel host Gretchen Carlson who makes her acting debut in Persecuted.
The New York Times opines, "The title -- "Persecuted" -- and the presence of the Fox News personality Gretchen Carlson in the cast are really all you need to know."
"Persecuted is a heavy-handed and didactic drama which also manages to be totally mushy in terms of the message it's trying to convey. The ubiquitous presence of Fox News Channel anchor Gretchen Carlson ensures that," wrote Christy Lemire for Rogerebert.com.
"Featuring Fox News Channel personality Gretchen Carlson as a television news anchor the not so fair and balanced film might have made its religious themes palatable if it worked reasonably well as a thriller," noted The Hollywood Reporter.
"I'm used to being attacked simply because of where I work," said Carlson. "Some people may consider the criticism a bigger reason to actually see the film."
"I'm glad we chose Gretchen and I'd do it again," said Lusko. "I don't mind criticism of my movie but singling out Fox is ridiculous. If I had to choose between critics and fans I'd go with the fans any day."
PERSECUTED, the story of a preacher turned fugitive who is framed for the murder of a young girl was released through Millennium Entertainment on 700 screens and stars former U.S. Senator Fred Thompson (Die Hard, Law & Order), James Remar (X-Men First Class, Red), and Bruce Davison (Lost, CSI, X-Men) along with Brad Stine, Gretchen Carlson, and Natalie Grant.

Convert or get the sword Mosul Christians

Christians flee Iraq's Mosul after Islamists issue ultimatum

Iraqi Christians leave city en masse after Islamist militants threatened to kill them unless they converted to Islam or paid a 'protection tax'.

AFP

1:21AM BST 19 Jul 2014

Christians were fleeing Iraq's jihadist-held city of Mosul en masse on Friday after mosques relayed an ultimatum giving them a few hours to leave, the country's Chaldean patriarch and witnesses said.

Iraq is home to one of the world's most ancient Christian communities, but their numbers have plummeted as attacks against them mounted after the US-led invasion in 2003, which unleashed a wave of sectarian violence.

"Christian families are on their way to Dohuk and Arbil," in the neighbouring autonomous region of Kurdistan, Patriarch Louis Sako told AFP. "For the first time in the history of Iraq, Mosul is now empty of Christians."

Before 2003 the city's Christians numbered some 60,000 people, but that dropped to some 35,000 by June this year, Sako said.

Another 10,000 fled Mosul after Sunni Islamist militants took control in a sweeping offensive led by Islamic State (IS) insurgents that began on June 9, and has since spread to other parts of northern and western Iraq.
A statement dated from last week and purportedly issued by IS warned Mosul's Christians they should convert, pay a special tax, leave or face death.

The deadline to leave the city is noon on Saturday, according to the statement.

On Monday two nuns and three orphans were released after being held for 17 days in Mosul, Sako said, a development he described as "a glimmer of hope, and a breakthrough".

However, his optimism was to prove shortlived.

"We were shocked by the distribution of a statement by the Islamic State calling on Christians to convert to Islam, or to pay unspecified tribute, or to leave their city and their homes taking only their clothes and no luggage, and that their homes would then belong to the Islamic State," Sako said.

Witnesses said messages telling Christians to leave Mosul on Saturday were blared through loudspeakers from the city's mosques Friday.

The patriarch, who is one of the most senior Christian clerics in Iraq, and residents contacted by AFP said Islamic State militants had in recent days been tagging Christian houses with the letter N for "Nassarah", the term by which the Koran refers to Christians.

The statement, which was seen by AFP, said "there will be nothing for them but the sword" if Christians reject those conditions.

Iraq's Christian community includes Chaldean, Assyrian and Orthodox sects, but it is a shadow of what it used to be - once numbering more than a million nationwide, with upwards of 600,000 in Baghdad alone, there are now fewer than 400,000 across the country.

FreeSeas Announces Receipt of NASDAQ Notices of Bid Price and Equity Standard Deficiencies

GlobeNewswire
FreeSeas Inc.
4 hours ago

ATHENS, Greece, July 18, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FreeSeas Inc. (FREE) ("FreeSeas" or the "Company"), a transporter of dry-bulk cargoes through the ownership and operation of a fleet of Handysize and Handymax vessels, announced today that the Company received from The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC: (i) a letter, dated July 15, 2014, stating that, for the previous 30 consecutive business days, the bid price of the Company's common stock closed below the minimum $1.00 per share; and (ii) a letter dated July 16, 2014 stating that for the period ended March 31, 2014, the Company's reported stockholders' equity is below $2.5 million. Both are requirements for continued listing on The NASDAQ Capital Market pursuant to NASDAQ Marketplace Rules 5550(a)(2) (the "Minimum Bid Price Rule") and 5550(b)(1) (the "Equity Standard Rule"). The NASDAQ letters have no immediate effect on the listing of the Company's common stock, which will continue to trade on The NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol "FREE".

In accordance with NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has a grace period of 180 calendar days, which expires on January 12, 2015 (the "Compliance Period"), to regain compliance with the "Minimum Bid Price Rule"), by maintaining a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days during the Compliance Period. If the Company does not regain compliance by January 12, 2015, NASDAQ will provide written notification to the Company that its common stock may be delisted. The Company may, however, be eligible for an additional grace period of 180 calendar days if it satisfies the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards (with the exception of the Bid Price Rule) for listing on The NASDAQ Capital Market, and submits a timely notification to NASDAQ of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split of the shares of its Common Stock, if necessary. The Company may also appeal NASDAQ's delisting determination to a NASDAQ Hearings Panel. FreeSeas intends to evaluate available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule.

In accordance with NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5810(c)(2)(C), the Company has 45 calendar days to submit a plan to regain compliance with the Equity Standard Rule. FreeSeas believes that it has already achieved compliance by virtue of the capital increase effected on May 28, 2014, following the successful closing of its $25 million public offering, which will be reflected in the unaudited interim financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2014, which the Company expects to file within the next month.

SEC Says House Insider Probe Involves 44 Funds, Entities

By Patricia Hurtado Jul 18, 2014 12:01 AM ET Bloomberg

An insider-trading probe involving the U.S. House Ways and Means Committee and a top staff member also includes dozens of hedge funds, investment advisers and other firms, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission said in a court filing.

In arguing against the House’s motion to dismiss the case or send it to a court in Washington, the SEC told a Manhattan federal judge that the geographic scope of its investigation is “much wider” than described by lawyers for the House and involves a total of 44 entities.

The probe concerns some of the largest hedge funds and asset-management advisers in the U.S., the SEC said in the July 16 filing. Twenty-five of the 44 are based in New York, it said.

The agency subpoenaed the House committee and the staff member, Brian Sutter, for its inquiry into whether non-public information was illegally passed about a change in health-care policy that resulted in a spike in share prices of insurance companies. The case is testing whether U.S. insider-trading laws allow regulators to investigate the committee or its staff.

According to the regulators, minutes before the government announced the policy change, an analyst at Height Securities LLC sent clients a flash report outlining the proposal. Sutter may have been a source used by a lobbyist at Greenberg Traurig LLP who disclosed the health policy changes to the Height Securities analyst, the SEC said.

Trading Spike

The government announced an increase, rather than decrease, in payments to health insurers, boosting the shares of companies including Humana Inc.

“The Humana investigation is substantially concerned with the investor clients of Height Securities who received the subject Height e-mail, and who the commission believes may have engaged in relevant trading,” the SEC said in a filing to U.S. District Judge Paul Gardephe. It didn’t name the investors.

Sanjay Wadhwa, senior associate director of the SEC’s New York regional office, said in a memo to the court that 25 of the firms the agency is looking at have headquarters in New York, while the rest are based predominantly in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Illinois and California. One is in Washington. The probe is being handled by SEC lawyers in New York, he said.

2012 Law

The SEC cited a law Congress passed in 2012 that requires public officials to keep confidential non-public information about government matters that could move stock prices.

The House and Sutter are fighting the subpoenas. Their lawyers argued in a July 4 filing that staff members are “absolutely immune” from having to comply with subpoenas from a federal regulator in an insider-trading probe.

Kerry W. Kircher, the top lawyer for the House, said the information the SEC is seeking concerns legislative activities protected by the Constitution, which can’t be reviewed by federal judges. If Gardephe won’t dismiss the case, it should be moved to federal court in Washington, Kircher said.

The case is SEC v. The Committee on Ways and Means of The U.S. House of Representatives and Brian Sutter. 14-mc-00193. U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).

7 Indicted in $50 Million Pump-and-Dump Scheme

“This was not the typical boiler room of the 90s and early 2000s,”

By STEPHANIE CLIFFORD NY Times
July 17, 2014 4:16 pmJuly 17, 2014 10:25 pm Comment

Loretta Lynch, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of New York, announced the charges.

The former husband of “The Sopranos” actress Jamie-Lynn Sigler was indicted on Thursday along with six other defendants in a pump-and-dump stock scheme.

The indictment, filed in Federal District Court in Brooklyn, describes how Abraxas J. Discala, known as A.J., who ran a capital-markets advisory firm in New York and Connecticut, joined with a company executive, a lawyer and corrupt investors to place worthless stocks in clients’ portfolios.

The scam, in which investors lost $50 million, centered on a company called CodeSmart Holdings, which purported to offer online education in medical billing, according to the indictment. The defendants bought up shares of stock, issued overblown press releases and then deposited the stock in clients’ accounts as they sold it and it dropped in value. Their manipulation began in 2012 and ran through this month, prosecutors said.

“This was not the typical boiler room of the 90s and early 2000s,” said Loretta E. Lynch, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of New York.

CodeSmart had a couple of employees and a business plan, prosecutors said, but was not a thriving business. Still, the defendants, including CodeSmart’s chief executive, Ira Shapiro, sent out frequent press releases trumpeting the company’s growing business and university partnerships, which were overstated. The company filed documents with incorrect information to the Securities and Exchange Commission, prosecutors contend.

Wiretaps and texts from the defendants’ phones showed them boasting about the scheme, prosecutors said. Mr. Discala ran a firm called OmniView Capital Advisers, which described itself as a financial advisory firm, out of Rowayton, Conn., and New York. He described himself as “Yoda” to a corrupt investor’s “Obi-Wan” in one message, Ms. Lynch said.

“I structured it perfectly,” he said to the investor, Victor Azrak, in a message in June after CodeSmart was trading for pennies, according to court documents.

“I know, that’s beautiful. By the way, that’s, that stock is in the hall of fame, you know that?” Mr. Azrak said.

“It should be in the hall of shame,” Mr. Discala responded.

In May, again in an exchange with Mr. Azrak, Mr. Discala discussed how a registered broker involved in the scheme, Craig L. Josephberg, was going to “stuff it in someone else’s account,” apparently discussing stocks.

“We should start sending him morons, by the way,” Mr. Azrak said. “Send him a moron, you know, a guy you don’t know and then we’ll just buy stocks.”

“You’re not getting it — that’s what Jobo does,” Mr. Discala said, referring to Mr. Josephberg. “It’s like going to the casino with their chips.”

In a related civil action, the S.E.C. on Thursday brought a case against five of the seven in the criminal case: Mr. Discala; Marc E. Wexler, the president of Mr. Discala’s firm, OmniView; Mr. Josephberg; Matthew A. Bell, a Texas broker who took out ads seeking clients on Christian radio; and Mr. Shapiro.

Mr. Bell and Mr. Josephberg are registered brokers. “What makes this case particularly disconcerting is customers of Bell and Josephberg were doing exactly the right thing” in investing their money with licensed professionals, Daniel M. Hawke, chief of the S.E.C. enforcement division’s market abuse unit, said at a press conference.

Joseph Tacopina, a lawyer for Mr. Discala, said: “Anyone who knows A.J. is shocked by these allegations. And that is exactly what they are: merely allegations. He will vigorously defend these charges.”

Lawyers for Mr. Shapiro and Mr. Azrak did not immediately respond to requests for comment. A lawyer for Mr. Josephberg declined to comment, and lawyers for the other people charged could not immediately be determined.

Prosecutors said that all the people involved were arrested Thursday, even as they had begun work on another stock-manipulation scheme, this one of a company called Cubed. The S.E.C. said it has halted trading of that stock.

Ivanhoe Energy Proposes Share Consolidation to Preserve NASDAQ Listing
06:57 : Friday 18 July 2014

CALGARY, July 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ - Ivanhoe Energy Inc. (TSX: IE) (NASDAQ: IVAN) has scheduled a special meeting of shareholders to be held on August 13, 2014. The purpose of the special meeting is to give shareholders the opportunity to approve a proposal to effect a share consolidation or reverse-split as a means of regaining compliance with NASDAQ's minimum bid price requirements prior to September 2, 2014. Details of the proposal are included in the proxy materials mailed to shareholders of record as of July 11, 2014. The proxy materials have also been filed on SEDAR and EDGAR.

The special meeting has been scheduled to preserve the Company's ability to pursue the consolidation proposal as a viable alternative for regaining compliance with NASDAQ's minimum bid price requirements in a timely manner. The schedule allows sufficient time for the dissemination of the proxy materials to shareholders and, if the consolidation proposal is presented to the shareholders at the special meeting and approved, for the Company's post-consolidation common shares to trade on NASDAQ for a sufficient period of time to re-establish compliance prior to the September 2 deadline.

There may be other alternatives that would permit the Company to regain compliance without pursuing the consolidation proposal, such as the successful execution of a business opportunity resulting in a material appreciation of the market price of the Company's common shares, but there is no assurance that any such alternatives will be available in a timely manner. If, for any reason, the Company does not regain compliance with NASDAQ's minimum bid price requirements in a timely manner because shareholders do not approve the consolidation proposal or for other reasons the Company's common shares may become subject to delisting from NASDAQ. If the Company's common shares are ultimately delisted from NASDAQ the Company intends to maintain its current listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

Ivanhoe Energy is an independent international heavy oil exploration and development company focused on pursuing long-term growth in its reserves and production using advanced technologies, including its proprietary heavy oil upgrading process (HTL®). Core operations are in Canada, United States, and Ecuador, with business development opportunities worldwide. Ivanhoe Energy trades on the Toronto Stock Exchange with the ticker symbol IE and on the NASDAQ Capital Market with the ticker symbol IVAN.

10 Questions to Ask Financial Advisor
By Jocelyn Black Hodes
As important as it is to understand the fundamentals of financial planning, the reality is most of us don't have the time, knowledge and/or interest to create, implement, monitor and update a comprehensive financial plan.
Working with a qualified financial professional can help take the burden off you to figure it all out. But financial professionals can differ dramatically--from their background and methodology to how they get paid and what products they offer.
Read: What's the difference between a broker, financial planner and financial advisor?
If you choose to work with a financial professional, plan on interviewing at least three candidates to make sure you get the right fit. Here are 10 questions to ask:
What experience do you have?
Ask them to explain their work experience both in financial services and out, if applicable, and how it relates to their current practice. Certified Financial Planners(TM) (CFPs) must have a minimum of three years experience in the financial planning process.
What are your qualifications?
Ask them to explain what licenses they have and the training they have completed, and any designations they may have. Also ask about continuing education and how they stay current with changes and developments in the financial services industry. Every professional has a certain amount of continuing education "credits" they must complete at various intervals to maintain their licenses and certifications. Keep in mind that financial professionals generally cannot sell insurance or investments like mutual funds, stocks or bonds without proper licenses, or give investment advice unless registered with state or federal authorities.
What financial services do you offer?
Financial professionals can offer different services depending on their credentials, areas of expertise and interest, among other things. Some professionals only manage money and don't do comprehensive planning, some do both, and some may focus on a particular area like wealth management, insurance or estate planning. Keep in mind that no one person can be an expert in every aspect of financial planning, so if a candidate tells you that he/she is, beware. Some professionals partner with other professionals who specialize in particular areas, which they should disclose up front.
What is your approach to working with clients?
Financial professionals should begin every client relationship with some kind of Q&A regarding the client's particular goals and concerns, investment experience and risk tolerance (and the more thorough the better!). Some professionals meet with clients only once or twice a year, while others will make themselves available to clients at all times. Some prefer to meet with clients in person while others are comfortable communicating remotely. The important thing is to make sure you are comfortable with the proposed arrangement.
What is your approach to investing?
The professional's investing philosophy should make sense to you and seem suitable for your needs, and should not feel too cautious or overly aggressive. Find out how they will carry out their financial recommendations and whether they will invest and manage money for you or refer you to someone else who will.
What types of clients do you typically work with?
Keep in mind that some professionals prefer to work with certain types of clients (such as business owners, teachers, retirees, widows or divorcées) and often have something in common with them. Find out if and how the candidate relates to your specific situation. Also, some professionals will only work with clients whose investible assets fall within a particular range, such as $250,000 -- $1 million , or require you to have a certain net worth to work with you. So, it's important to make sure the professional is a good fit for your individual financial situation.
Will you be the only one working with me?
Some professionals work with their clients solo, and others use a team approach. You should know this upfront and have the chance to meet everyone you'll be working with before committing to anything. And if consultants such as insurance agents, estate attorneys, CPAs or bank lending representatives may be involved, you should get a list of their names and affiliations upfront to check on their backgrounds.
What do you charge and how will I pay for your services?
Although what you pay will depend on your particular needs, they should be able to provide you with a cost estimate based on the work to be performed. As part of your agreement, the financial professional should clearly state in writing how they will be paid for the services to be provided. Financial professionals can be paid in several ways:
* A salary paid by the company for which the professional works. Their employer receives payment from you or others, either in fees or commissions, to pay the professional's salary.
* Fees based on an hourly rate, a flat rate or a percentage of your assets.
* Commissions paid by a third party for the products sold to you to carry out the financial planning recommendations. Commissions are usually a percentage of the amount you invest in a product.
Are there any potential conflicts of interest I should know about?
A professional may have some business relationships or partnerships that could benefit her/him monetarily and affect her/his judgment to act in your best interest. For example, financial advisers who sell insurance policies or mutual funds have a compensation arrangement with the companies that provide these financial products. Ask the professional to provide you with a description of potential conflicts of interest in writing. Professionals who are CFPs have agreed to abide by a strict code of professional conduct and have an ethical obligation to put your needs above their own.
Do you have a clean record?
Several government and professional regulatory organizations, such as the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), your state insurance and securities departments and CFP Board, keep records on the disciplinary history of financial planners and advisers. Any documented violations should be disclosed to you upfront, but you should also do your own homework, including checking their FINRA record at brokercheck.finra.org and googling them.
It may seem like a lot of questions to ask. But if you're going to invest your nest egg with someone, it's worth investing the time and effort to make sure you choose the right person. Finding an adviser who understands your needs as well as your finances can do wonders for your peace of mind--and your portfolio.

7 penny peeps in manipulation Feds
Looks like 0.20 area OTCBB ones

Seven people have been indicted on federal charges for allegedly manipulating the stock movements of publicly traded companies, according to an unsealed indictment.
Among the indicted were executives who worked for some of the companies in question, including CodeSmart Holdings Inc Chief Executive Ira Shapiro , as well as Abraxas J. Discala, the CEO of OmniView Capital Advisors LLC and ex-husband of "The Sopranos" star Jamie-Lynn Sigler .
The government alleged that the defendants agreed to defraud investors and potential investors in publicly traded companies CodeSmart , Cubed Inc. , StarStream Entertainment Inc. and Staffing Group Ltd. by artificially controlling the price and volume of shares.
The defendants are accused of using false and misleading news releases, regulatory filings and manipulating share prices, as well as buying stock without the authorization of certain investors.
The alleged scheme may have begun in October 2012 and run through July of this year, according to the indictment.
Prosecutors were slated to hold a news conference at noon in Brooklyn to announce the unsealing of an indictment in a market manipulation case.

Logic takes times to overcome the emotions. You'd hate yourself much worse if didn't do right thing. No way she should suffer for you....

As to puppy choice em that very large dogs can develop said arthritis and even enlarged heart. Like a Great Dane can get a big old heart at early age if not funky bone structure - inbreeding over the years by pushing for ever larger sizes.
Do a little research & chatting on puppy choice, will sidestep the feelings a bit. Know the hurt well.

did the humane thing!

Noticed her tail between her legs even as you were petting. Usually petting should show a happy result.
Getting puppy in time would be good thing.

CALGARY , July 17, 2014 /PRNewswire/ - Ivanhoe Energy Inc. (TSX: IE; NASDAQ: IVAN) today provided brief commentary on its business affairs and a response to the recent trading activity in its share price.
The company is not aware of any specific factors, other than what has been previously disclosed in its public filings or news releases, which would result in the recent decrease in the share price.
In terms of project updates, the potential joint venture in Ecuador , while delayed, remains a key focus for all parties involved.  The timeline for completion has been longer than what Ivanhoe originally envisioned, but we hope to have clarity as to project advancement over the coming weeks.  Recent delays have been related to issues beyond the control of Ivanhoe.
Efforts regarding HTL commercialization continue to advance on all fronts. These efforts include discussions with certain parties in Colombia, Venezuela and other parts of Latin America , and Canada. The company remains keenly focused on delivering on the value potential of the partial upgrading technology.
The company is also considering a number of options to enhance its corporate treasury to fit its current expense structure.  The company is cognisant of its funding needs and continues to implement cost-reduction initiatives. 
Further announcements on all fronts are anticipated over the coming weeks and months.

ARNA saw that intraday as fell

It was sliding down, found base, up bit, closed on lows. I like the concept of med mj so surprised on response. Seems clean enough with no r/s record or such. Bit of checked past tho.
They have a small pipeline of drugs in various Phase stages.
Best win would be a price war for a take over. Worst case no bidding war and ESALY stands aside looking to grab it on the very cheap.... Have it on watch list already.

London July 10
Arena Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ARNA) shares plunged Monday on news that its chief executive Jack Lief sold nearly 40 percent of his holdings in the company.
Lief sold 223,525 shares on July 1 at $5.85 per share. The transaction was an "automatic sell" apparently triggered by a declining share price.
While unusual, the transaction isn't unique among Arena's insider deals. Dominick Behan sold 200,000 shares at $6.30 per share in October, according to filings.
"Lief dumping 40% of his Arena shares all at once when the stock is hitting new lows isn't exactly confidence inspiring," wrote TheStreet columnist Adam Feuerstein .
Feuerstein said the transaction is the death knell of intermittent rumors that Eisai Co. (OTC: ESALY) will acquire Arena.
After opening sharply lower Monday, Arena traded recently at $5.33 , down 8.73 percent.

Cynk Short Squeeze Blamed by Trader for Costing Him Job

By Zeke Faux and Jing Cao - Jul 15, 2014

A Wall Street trader said Cynk Technology Corp.’s (CYNK) 36,000 percent stock surge cost him his job, and he blames a short squeeze and regulators who didn’t halt the shares before the company’s value shot past $6 billion.

Tom Laresca, a market-maker at Buckman Buckman & Reid Inc., said he was among traders who thought they spotted a scam as the shares jumped to $2.25 last month from pennies. He sold it short last week around $6 -- which means selling stock you don’t own with a plan to buy it cheaper soon, pocketing the difference. Laresca figured the Securities and Exchange Commission would suspend trading, sending the price toward zero. Cynk has said it’s a social-network service with no revenue and one employee.

“The stock looked worthless, if there’s even a company behind it,” Laresca said. “My 10-year-old knew it was a scam. It was a complete joke.”

Instead of falling, the price more than doubled the next day, July 9, starting the squeeze. Market-makers who had sold the shares short got nervous and scrambled to buy them to close their positions, driving the price even higher, Laresca said. The SEC stopped trading two days later, citing concerns about the accuracy of information in the marketplace and “potentially manipulative transactions.” That was too late, Laresca said.

“When it goes from 6 cents to $16 and you haven’t done anything about it, I’m sorry but you fell asleep at the wheel,” he said. “Everybody knew it. How come they didn’t know it?”

Resigned Today

Judith Burns, an SEC spokeswoman, declined to comment. Laresca said he resigned today after his firm cut his ability to hold positions. He declined to say what the trades cost.

“We temporarily restricted his trading activities,” said Tom Buckman, an executive at the Shrewsbury, New Jersey-based brokerage. “In the firm’s opinion, Mr. Laresca, who is a veteran trader, did not manage his Cynk Technologies position properly.”

A phone message left at Cynk’s corporate number wasn’t returned. The SEC didn’t accuse the company of wrongdoing when halting the stock.

Cynk’s price swings caught the attention of business television hosts, journalists, columnists, bloggers and Twitter pundits. As the valuation passed $5.4 billion, Wall Street blog ZeroHedge called it “pure madness.” That figure was based on the 291 million shares the company says are outstanding.

Market Rules

Only 500,000 of those shares were authorized to trade publicly, according to Cynk’s transfer agent, Pacific Stock Transfer. About $12 million of stock changed hands during the past month, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The low volume meant that market-makers couldn’t find shares to cover their short positions, Laresca said.

“If you’re short, you have to buy it within five days,” Laresca said of market-making rules. “That’s what was driving the stock higher.”

While Cynk’s $6 billion paper valuation was unusual, spikes and crashes are common in the over-the-counter markets where it traded. Regulators bust alleged pump-and-dump scams there regularly. Many involve defunct companies, or shells, with shares that still trade. The SEC has suspended trading in at least 255 shells this year.

Kevin Kelly, chief investment officer at Recon Capital Partners LLC, which manages about $150 million and issues exchange-traded funds, said Laresca took a risk by shorting Cynk even if he thought it was sketchy.

“He should know that markets can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent,” Kelly said. “He’s a professional.”

‘Big Game’

Organizers of schemes often slap a new name on the shell and announce they’re in a trendy new business, according to Thomas Sporkin, a former chief of market intelligence at the SEC. Then they distribute stock to associates who’ve agreed to trade it back and forth between themselves to make it look like investors are pushing the stock up, he said. Sometimes they hire promoters to tout the company in e-mails, Twitter postings and on blogs.

“You lure other people into the marketplace, whether they believe it’s legit or they’re just along for the pump and believe they can get out before the dump,” Sporkin said. “It’s like a big game.”

Curb Exchanges

Nathan Michaud, a day trader and one-time stock promoter who runs Investorslive.com, said he didn’t see any signs that Cynk was being promoted. Articles and blog posts pointing out its valuation actually drove the price higher as traders tried to ride the surge, he said.

“The publicity given to this stock after it jumped up from 10 cents to $4 was the cause of this short squeeze,” he said.

The SEC has been fighting penny-stock fraud since the agency’s creation in the 1930s. Its first chairman, Joseph Kennedy, shut down several curb exchanges -- predecessors of today’s over-the-counter markets. In the 1990s, Jordan Belfort and his Stratton Oakmont Inc. defrauded investors out of more than $200 million using cold calls to push stocks, a scheme depicted last year in the movie “The Wolf of Wall Street.”

One of the most prolific promoters in recent years was AwesomePennyStocks, an e-mail list that helped fuel $3 billion in spikes in 39 stocks, most of which now trade for less than a cent, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. In March, the SEC sued John Babikian, a Bugatti-driving 26-year-old, claiming he used the list for a pump-and-dump. He settled this month without admitting or denying wrongdoing, and his lawyer, Stanley Morris, didn’t respond to messages seeking comment. AwesomePennyStocks closed before that case and didn’t promote Cynk.

‘Stupid Things’

Cynk’s auditor in 2012, Peter Messineo, worked for at least two companies promoted by the list, public filings show. Messineo, reached by phone, said he wasn’t aware of those e-mail promotions and doesn’t always follow what happens to shell companies after he audits them.

“Most of those companies go dark,” said Messineo, who hasn’t been accused of wrongdoing. “I have no clue.”

Cynk, which lists headquarters in Belize, as said on its website that it’s a service to buy contact information for people like celebrities.

OTC Markets Group Inc., which runs the trading venue once known as the pink sheets, marks questionable stocks on its website to warn investors. It branded Cynk with a skull and crossbones. Cromwell Coulson, the trading venue’s chief executive officer, who predicted the SEC suspension, said the agency will eventually figure out what happened with Cynk.

“I wish people would just not trade the stupid things,” he said.

Sen. Levin urged SEC to end market-taker

Levin Urges SEC to End Maker-Taker, Payment for Order Flow

By Dave Michaels Jul 15, 2014 3:39 PM ET

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission should act immediately to eliminate two stock market pricing models that create conflicts of interest for brokers, Senator Carl Levin said in a letter to SEC Chair Mary Jo White.

Levin, a Michigan Democrat, criticized systems used by exchanges such as Nasdaq OMX Group Inc. (NDAQ) and wholesalers such as Citadel Securities that pay brokers for sending orders to be filled. Intercontinental Exchange Inc. (ICE) Chief Executive Officer Jeff Sprecher and IEX Group CEO Brad Katsuyama also have called for regulators to ban maker-taker, a system in which rebates are paid to brokers who provide exchanges with liquidity.

“Eliminating maker-taker pricing would improve confidence in U.S. equity markets,” Levin, a Michigan Democrat, wrote in the letter released today. “Such action also would reassure investors that they can rely on their brokers to provide best execution of their trades, without having to question whether a broker might instead be seeking to maximize its own profits at the customer’s expense.”

SEC spokesman John Nester declined to immediately comment about the letter.

The comments by Levin, who leads the Senate’s Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, could add urgency to the SEC’s review of stock-market conflicts, which White described last month. Institutional investors such as T. Rowe Price Group Inc. (TROW) and some academics and exchange officials have prodded the SEC to test trading without maker-taker.

Levin held a June 17 hearing that focused on payment for order flow, the practice of brokers selling their retail orders to stock-market wholesalers such as Citadel and Citi Global Markets. TD Ameritrade Holding Corp. (AMTD) disclosed to Levin’s committee that it “virtually” always sends orders to trading venues that provide it with the highest payment.

BB idea what this Trademark means IVAN

IVAN still a Nasdaq stock. Just saw the price drop today 2-4p ET and then this at 4p via OTC Disclosure & News Service. Have you any experience with this - like is it indication of company looking at a sale, acquisition, or just getting some housekeeping?
Near $446M accum deficit & work cap surplus $8.8M in 5/12 10-Q.
Might this be something done before a R/S, none shown yet. 10-Q does make typical mention of 'going concern' by then (not accountant) if can't raise more money. At this price Nasdaq should come knocking by now. Would they just want a Trademark thing for protection pre first R/S? Maybe a Canadian thing?
Thanks mucho!

ZION ah Fed 2 week request, hmm.

Been sniffing at this for old timey sake but now?
29.53 -0.17 Might need 20 to interest me in future. Looks bit
lower ah. I don't mess with Fed.

Zions Bancorp, a regional lender whose capital plan was rejected by the Federal Reserve earlier this year, said the regulator will take up to two additional weeks to evaluate its revised plan.
The Salt Lake City -based bank said in a regulatory filing Monday that the Fed requested a two-week extension to evaluate Zions's resubmission. Zions said it now expects a response from the Fed by about July 28.
Zions resubmitted its capital plan to the Fed in April, and had previously said it expected to receive a response by July 15 .
Zions has been under pressure this year due to its portfolio of collateralized debt obligations, a type of complex investment targeted by the Volcker rule, which restricts certain types of trading activity at banks. While the rule's treatment of certain CDOs has been softened, Zions has been selling its holdings to cut down its risk.
Its large portfolio of CDOs contributed to the Fed's rejection of Zions's capital plan earlier this year as part of the regulator's stress tests of banks.

icon thx, here's my take on bio

Maybe wrong but over the years this is main thing I've gleaned from this sector. Market seems to only cut a real break on one that has such a dramatic decline when half-way decent known fundas AND the failed product wasn't sole one AND for a condition/disease that is damn hard to work on.
See ROSG OXGN PPHM they often bounce off failed drug since priced in - unless was only drug (those die).
One of most swingy sectors, just for mad money. Tough areas would be orphans, AIDS, and ones like Alzheimer's, arthritis, gout boomer conditions that have striken so many for generations.
Those can catch the bounce since odds of a 'cure' so high that few others willing to do the loss leader work.

SCOK jumps 21.7%, name chg & sym too

02:26 PM EDT, 07/14/2014 (MT Newswires) -- SinoCoking (SCOK), a vertically-integrated coal and coke processor, said it intends to change its name to Clean Synthetic Technologies Corp. Shares rose more than 21%.
The company said the change reflects a new emphasis on large-scale production of clean-burning synthetic gas and other clean energy products. The company said it would also change its stock trading symbol on Nasdaq.
SinoCoking is currently building a plant for the conversion of carbon dioxide into synthetic gas, a fuel utilized to produce fertilizers, solvents and other industrial products. The facility, set to begin operations in the fourth quarter, will produce as much as 25,000 cubic meters of syngas per hour, SinoCoking said.
In afternoon trade, SCOK was up to $1.90.
