That's gotta hurt /e
I've been around...just keep'n my head down...mostly. Crawling along make'n a few bucks and keep'n my nose clean...that's why I stopped back here...looking for my fair share of abuse...I miss it so. :-O
Glad to see that you're as loveable as always!
Wow...greasy...
them's fight'n words in these parts.
Not looking for a "gotcha"...just my way to trade...no one ever went broke taking a profit...
best of good luck - and I hope we both make a ton.

Someone once said, "less is more".
25% in two weeks not a bad return...650% annualized...but thats just conservative me...I expect this to roll over and retest the 15/50dma's...just a guess.
waiting.
Took profits last week...hoping for a pull back after this steep runup for reentry. Might not get it...
Your turn for a support document...just one will do...
I'd even accept a study done at 10,000', 20,000' or more.
Don't bother responding w/out a creditable source describing your hypothesis in practice. I'll give you the last word if you find something, because I'm done w/you. And the board is probably done w/both of us at this point.

Dude, please post a scientific link to support your claim...
Here is an article that speaks to the debate. Why would a study be done by a scientific body of something that was impossible as your comments suggest? INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW...

Could My iPhone Really Crash My Airplane?
What about an onboard Wi-Fi network?
By Christopher Beam
Posted Tuesday, March 31, 2009, at 7:10 PM ET
Is using a cell phone aboard an airplane really dangerous?American Airlines announced Tuesday that it will expand in-flight Wi-Fi Internet service to its entire fleet. The airline, along with Delta and Virgin America, started offering Wi-Fi on select planes in late 2008. In-flight calls, however, are still prohibited. If I can surf the Web, why can't I use my cell?
It operates on a totally different frequency. Cell phones transmit signals at roughly the same frequencies as aircraft communications—pilot radios and radar range from below 100 to 2,000 MHz, and many phones operate at 850 MHz or 1,900 MHz. Your cell could therefore—at least theoretically—interfere with navigation. Wi-Fi, on the other hand, signals at a higher frequency—anywhere from 2,500 to 5,000 MHz—and thus won't get mixed up with the plane's transmissions.
Yahoo! Buzz FacebookMySpace Mixx Digg Reddit del.icio.us Furl Ma.gnolia SphereStumbleUponCLOSEIn-flight Wi-Fi works like a moving Starbucks hot spot. The plane is rigged with three antennae—two on its belly and one on top—that receive signals from towers across the country. The frequency of those transmissions, 849 MHz, is within the range of airline communications. But they don't interfere with the plane's navigation, since 849 MHz is a dedicated frequency that was auctioned off and bought in 2006 by Aircell, which services American, Delta, and Virgin. (It's the same frequency once used by Airfone.)
But are cell phones on planes really that dangerous, anyway? Studies analyzing the dangers of in-flight cell-phone use suggest the risks are small but real. In 2003, a study by IEEE Spectrum concluded that "continued use of portable RF-emitting devices such as cell phones will, in all likelihood, someday cause an accident by interfering with critical cockpit instruments such as GPS receivers." A study produced by the Radio Technical Commission for Aeronautics in 2006 found that portable electronic devices can interfere with airplane communications and laid out testing guidelines for airlines to figure out which devices should be permitted.
The rationale for switching off other portable electronic devices is slightly different. Even if a device doesn't transmit a signal—think iPods, Game Boys, "anything with an on-off switch"—it still emits energy at a frequency that could, possibly, interfere with the plane's electronics. The Federal Aviation Administration requires all such devices to be off during takeoff and landings, but you're allowed to turn them on once you reach a cruising altitude—presumably because any interference would be minimal and temporary. There are exceptions, though, for necessary devices like hearing aids and pacemakers.
Some international airlines do allow cell-phone use. Emirates Airline permits in-flight calls as long as you use an onboard picocell network, which isolates the cellular communications from the pilot's. In the United States, the resistance to in-flight calls is strong, but often for social rather than safety reasons. Members of Congress have even introduced legislation to keep cell phones off planes, titled the Halting Airplane Noise To Give Us Peace Act, or HANG UP Act.
there you go...

OCNF posted an earnings loss of <$0.10> Aug 5/09. The first loss in recent memory. See a recent chart and the big gap down at that time...
This followed a series of positive earnings and dividend payouts back to mid '07.
Short term reaching overbought. Long term, still very oversold.

I love this board...
It regularly proves the point, by example, that there is a very thin line between genius and insanity. Posters who share rational, thoughtful sometimes edgy contributions (theirs and from their brand of experts) to our day-to-day world will suddenly go "postal" with the most outrageous drivel...and defend their mind-numbing stretch of logic with illusions to magic that only a few see. Where no amount of subjective or objective information will finally create an undeniable contradictory result to their unsustainable logic. There are medical terms for such behavior. Saying that, I do agree that the pathological behavior of the Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeldt gang suggests that they were capable of participating in and advocating just about anything, sinister or not.
BTW - as I sit here in my home office, my usual cellular tower connection is about 10 miles due west(=~52,800 feet at last check), across an unobstructed body of water. The closer towers are obstructed from me because I'm in a bit of a canyon and behind hills to closer connections. It has been this way for years as shown on my monthly statements even back in time with my old motorola brick.
OK...I like that chart. /e
Or this ARM reset chart from a previous poster. It is heartening that folks like yourself are taking notice, but it yesterday's news...
The real Q is what to do about it.
My first thought is to not run down the street with your hair on fire when the criminals who perpetrated this heist have generally left town with the money...and have done their best to recruit "912ers" for example to cover up the deeds and blame it on the new guy.

Where were the dingbats like yourself when the last administration drove this country off a cliff? ...rooting for them?
OCNF - thar she blows...might get a pullback to 30dma for entry, but don't count on it. 5%+ short interest so there is some fuel. Closing at HOD today will bode well for a gap up tomorrow...imo. Right now trading on previous high mark.
Hey TG
Keep an eye on OCNF ($1.43 last) for a move to fill the previous gap down (8/5/09) from $1.70-$1.46.
The first pop up thru several MA's has already tested $1.44 today but the shipping news out of Hong Kong etc bodes well for this co. You can also track DRYS as they move somewhat in tandem. OCNF moves quickly when it does so pops occur (both directions).
disclosure: I own some @ $1.37
Should continue to move toward filling the gap.
There is a big gap to fill @ $1.46 to $1.70 based on the gap down Aug.5th '09. If we get up thru $1.46-$1.50 then the melt up to $1.65-$1.70 should go quickly.
With any shipping growth and report of earnings, this could see double digits in the medium term.
Friday Failures...By design so the Feds can come in over the weekend...make the internal shifts required so that the Bank can reopen (usually) on Monday w/new owners or whatever for the depositors to access their insured accounts.
Bull_D. Thanks for your comments. I don't need "talking points". Just telling the truth as I've studied it and I know it to be. I'm not smart enough nor do I have enough blind loyalty in my readers/listeners to either lie convincingly or remember the irrational and confused matrix one has to weave when trying to debunk nose-on-your-face facts. Talking points are for those who can't have an intelligent discussion over the realities and need a short phrase to shout down honest logical discourse. (And I really can't comment on Mars. Never been there. Although with an atmosphere of 95.3% Carbon Dioxide and 2.7% Nitrogen w/trace oxygen, climate change is an interesting concept - and rest easy, your SUV emissions, should they get there, would be a phart in a whirlwind, so to speak)
Insurance companies are not demons. Some of their behavior however, often times is unacceptable in the context of spreading financial risk of health care needs over the broadest base of premium payers possible (the definition of insurances). I have an insurance license and know the business. Basically the mantra is collect maximum premium, avoid those in need of health services and pay as little in benefit as the legal team can argue. I have great health benefit thru an HMO so I have no axe to grind nor financial interest in maintaining the status quo. A lot of good people have bad, little or no health insurance. Seems patently un-American to not promote the "common good"(and un-Christian as well but lets not go there...Jesus didn't care who he healed).
A relative who owns a company with 700 employees in the Health care providing business much prefers to work with Medicare patients than Insurance patients. Medicare reimburses w/in a few days...Insurances can take months...same care different payer. The problems that may loom for medicare have little to do with efficiency...it is highly efficient. Insurance +/- 30% overhead, Medicare +/- 3% overhead. Medicare did not help create the problem other than partially define what it looks like to have 97% of premium dollar going to actual health care. Just try to take away Medicare from those who have it.
Best way to convince folks of government failures is to hire incompetent people for highly public and specialized work. If you are trying to destroy the public's opinion of gov't (We the People...remember) just continue the "Hell of a job Brownie" kinds of employee hires. Their public incompetence will do the dirty work for you...
Absolutely...and take the bull(sh*t) by the horns to appropriately redefine the argument.

Not people per se, but the ignorance of consequences of people's behavior.
Global Warming IS scientifically undeniable. So what. Global Warming produces Climate Change...sometimes regionally hotter, colder, wetter or dryer, but changed. Where the ignorant or those with economic or religious conflicts of interest get fuel for the argument is the misnamed "Global Warming" (scientific) v. the more appropriate "Climate Change" (consequence of warming).
How can a region get deeper snow for example when global warming is occurring...good question. The answer is Climate Change. Shifting weather patterns from warmings can cause for example, increases in moisture in a local air mass. A 10,000 foot mountain is still cold enough to fight off a one degree shift, but will benefit greatly in snow depth by increase precipitations on it's own slopes.
If you don't look past the deep snow on your mountain, it is easy to debunk the warming issue.
Multi-billion year earth changes are true. What the added human behavior of putting so much extra stuff in the atmosphere in geological near term has caused is an increase in the amplitude of potential cyclical waves of change or created new waves. It is the increase in cycle amplitude that causes potentials of catastrophic human consequences.
The earth doesn't care. It is an island floating in space with with it's own intricate version of checks and balances. It will continue to spin...It will just look different to it's occupants.
Health CARE is not the issue and whoever managed to frame the debate using these two words to represent the health insurance costs issue totally "got it" in regards to how to defend obscene insurance company executive payrolls and routine denial of claims. There is something inherently wrong about one insurance exec making several HUNDREDS of millions of dollars per year while denying claims to the sick or injured insureds.
The issue is health INSURANCE. Why pay 31 cents of every dollar to insurance company overhead when the Gov't can do a BETTER job of administering the INSURANCE side for three cents of every dollar.
Medicare works. The VA works.
This is not about "care" when you finally get some. It is about access to care, who gets to seek wellness and who gets to get rich on the backs of payers of premium - with or without having to provide the service.
The shift of the earth's magnetic poles have occurred multiple times over the millenia...
Useless factoid to follow:
Oceanography/Geology testings in the Atlantic Ocean around the Mid-Atlantic ridge are amazing. The Mid-Atlantic ridge is the north/south line of sea floor spreading from plate tectonic movement that mark the cracks in the plates where new molten material spews up out of the earth's core. It is the reason North America and Europe are moving farther apart. This is the crack that formed a volcanic Iceland and why Iceland continues to grow larger even today. The new molten material moves up out of the earth and spreads symetrically both eastward and westward forming north/south ribbons of new surface material. When the molten material cools, it takes on the then existing magnetic charge, forming a magnetic signature of the new material in historical time. This magnetic charge can be easily measured and recorded. There are (approximately 170+ times - if Oceanography 101 memory serves me correctly) where the magnetic poles have flipped from the northern position where it is now to a mirrored position in the Southern hemisphere's polar region.
Even today, if you are a navigator or map reader, you understand that the magnetic variation from true north on a map or chart is shifted, as in the Pacific Northwest's case for example 23.5 degrees off true north. The movement of magnetic north continues at a geological pace.
The question of course is do the full +/- 180 degree shifts of magnetic polarity occur slowly or is there some catastrophic event that flips it all at once...?
There is some evidence from stone age Austrailian fire pit polarities that the flip has occurred once since man has known fire. A long burning fire will give up it's magnetic polarity at temperature and will then take on the prevailing N/S polarity when it cools.
But that's enough on this...the science is out there

You missed my point. Your math is correct. Your assumption that it is a zero sum game that suggests an equal future price is deeply flawed. I don't think they can get to the other side of the river without lots more money.
This is how they finance their world with stock. Authorize, issue, sell, reverse split...wash/rinse/repeat.
Good luck.

Bottom of the channel established in play since 15th May. Oversold condition so bounce now or breakout down thru channel to some new level. OBV still positive territory so some hope for a turn from this downdraft.
KFN
Looks to be consolidating in the $1.38-1.44 area
in KFN on the VTL breakout...
saw some of you in and out of this one...looks to be in a reversal breakout from the downtrend from $2.20's highs of early May...
(VTL = verifiable trend line...3 or more touches)
My screener is screaming!
Just reset my inverted springlefluke pattern with the "grow a pair" or send the puke bucket addendum pattern screener and it sent me here.
Who'd a thunk my $2.60 sell would look so stupid??? And me shopping for a teen...
Sign?
Or maybe a good Hawaiian-raised guy giving his HangLoose sign.
Whatup bro?
$0.59 x $0.61 AH..$0.59 last
Point of interest...
My buy in the last hour in the o.55's was printed as a sell. Suggests that this should probably rebound more again tomorrow with even slight buying pressure. imo /e
