ATEA is a very low floater that has been trending up. Very low daily volume, however, and the spreads are usually big. Spiked to about $11 at last earnings. $7.90 on Friday.

"I can't speak for the market, but what I can tell you is we are a relatively thinly traded stock," Etskovitz said in reaction to the sharp jump in share price. "There are only 3 million shares of stock outstanding and about half of them are owned by the chairman."
Doubloon, SMSI, you could be right, delayed(?) reaction to PR and maybe the ex-missus is finished dumping. My tech knowledge is non-existent, so I go mainly by the company's fundamentals and growth. Tech-wise, I really should stick to tech mutual funds!!! LOL!!! BTW, I've been holding SMSI for a while waiting for things to come together. They had an upgrade on 9/20, they bought Allume Systems, Inc (Stuffit products) back in July. They PR after the fact, so no forward-looking BS that never happens.....good buy and hold, IMO. I think I mentioned it a long time ago, but it didn't do much until recently.
futrcash, TDYH was used as a comparison to AMEP pps-wise, I just pointed out the OS differences between the two do not make it a valid comparison. Aren't the boards for discussing stocks?
"I think it would serve TDYH investors best interests if you would refrain from insulting those AMEP investors that might be invested here as well.JMO"
Best interests???? In what way???? Will their feelings be hurt and they'll sell??? LOL!!!
Doubloon, does 1/2 on topic count????
Silly poster on AMEP trying to compare to TDYH.....

viper4949, check the float on TDYH (2 million) versus AMEP plus TDYH is getting a second drilling rig.....apples and oranges.....
TDYH: Issued 22,250,000
of those
Restricted shares 20,250,000
Public float 2,000,000
SMSI still going up with volume...something is up. See my last post on SMSI:

Hey Terry, say something worthwhile??? OK, get out of FASC soon!!! You only found "one negative that stands out"?? Keep looking, Bro....I know you can do it!!!
TRCPA, just trying to provide some common sense comparisons for those that may get confused and think FASC "profits" actually ampount to anything. Even FASC doesn't bother to PR their "results" or future guidence, just releases the 10-K quietly like they are ashamed of it (as they should be).
TRCPA, the equity in my house is 50% more than their "profit".
TRCPA, if that was the "profit" picture for our local Pizza Hut, they would be out of business. In fact, I think the Mom and Pop dry cleaner we use does better. Different strokes for different investing folks, I guess....
No Zeolite??? Did they forget to designate who was supposed to get the Zeolite to the facility for processing????
Another $100,000 bonus!!!!???? WTF!!! I say pps in the 2 cent area tomorrow!!! That's a shareholder rip off!!!
Whatcha think, TR....hit 10 cents tomorrow on the profit news??
"As the model 3000 has yet to have been built and tested, there is no certainty that it will meet the requirements of the customer, and the sale is conditional upon performance."
Not built yet? What have they been doing?????

IMF says world economy to stay strong
Wed Sep 21, 2005 09:06 AM ET
"The fund said global inflation had picked up slightly on the higher oil prices, but remained at moderate levels."
By Lesley Wroughton
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The world economy is set to grow a swift 4.3 percent this year and next -- above the 3.9 percent average of the past decade -- despite higher oil prices and a battering from Hurricane Katrina, the IMF said on Wednesday.
In its twice-annual World Economic Outlook, the International Monetary Fund downgraded its forecast for global growth in 2006 from the 4.4 percent expected in April but retained this year's projection.
"The world economy has proved tremendously resilient over the last few years," IMF chief economist Raghuram Rajan said.
"Disease, natural disasters and soaring oil prices have only caused minor blips in an overall picture of healthy growth," he added.
Still, it warned that risks were rising, fueled by widening world current account imbalances, growth distortions across regions and lingering concerns about limited crude production capacity that kept oil prices high.
Crude oil prices hit record levels above $70 a barrel last month, more than double the levels at the start of last year.
The fund said global inflation had picked up slightly on the higher oil prices, but remained at moderate levels.
Core inflation in industrialized nations appeared generally contained, the fund said, adding that price expectations were well-anchored, although the impact from higher oil prices would bear careful monitoring.
The IMF said financial market conditions remained benign, amid low borrowing costs, high equity prices and strong corporate balance sheets.
Emerging markets' financing conditions were favorable, it said, reflecting strong economic fundamentals and an increased presence of long-term investors and search for yields.
The IMF trimmed its 2005 forecast for the world's largest economy, the United States, to 3.5 percent from the 3.6 percent it envisioned in April, and reduced its forecast for 2006 to 3.3 percent from 3.6 percent.
It said the direct toll on U.S. growth from Hurricane Katrina would be moderate and wouldn't weigh long on growth.
UNAMBITIOUS PLAN
But the IMF was critical of Washington's "unambitious" plan to cut the U.S. budget gap in half by the time President George W. Bush leaves office in early 2009.
The U.S. budget deficit hit a record $412 billion last year. While recent tax receipt data suggests the shortfall has been narrowing, the potential cost of cleaning up Katrina's devastation -- which some lawmakers say could hit $200 billion -- has led analysts to raise their deficit forecasts.
Japan's economy looked poised for a good recovery with the IMF forecasting growth more than a percentage point faster in 2005 than forecast five months ago. However, it urged the Bank of Japan to retain its zero interest rate policy for now.
The fund forecast Japanese gross domestic product would grow 2 percent this year and next. In April, it had projected growth of just 0.8 percent.
The global lender said its outlook for the euro zone remained somber, blaming weak domestic demand, a lack of structural reform and rising fiscal deficits.
It said growth will be lower than expected next year and the European Central Bank should be ready to cut interest rates if the economy falters again.
It also cautioned China that it may need to tighten monetary policy if investment growth intensifies and fears are reignited about economic overheating.
The fund said 2005 Chinese growth was now poised to reach 9 percent, up from 8.5 percent predicted in April. In 2006, Chinese growth was likely to reach 8.2 percent, up from the IMF's April outlook of 8 percent.
In Africa, the economic expansion continues to be underpinned by strong global demand, structural reform, better domestic macroeconomic policies and fewer wars, the fund said, but added that growth would slow to 4.8 percent this year from 5.4 percent in 2004.

Oil $67.85, NG at $13.12 (is that a record high?). Look for Tandem to go up more today.
MY vivid imagination?????????? I can't imagine anything past the pps!!!!!
Then tell AMEP to stop drilling!!! Use up the Saudi oil first!! LMAOAY!!!!!
Has anyone called the White House and told them to stop buying foreign oil?????
TRCPA, your silence says it all!!! LOL!
What's the name of the circus and does TRCPA do their books?
nlightn, I think if we had more daily volume the TA would be more meaningful. For now, I guess we just follow the trend and the CMF looks good from that standpoint. The RSI says "oversold", but it will say that at $10 too!! LOL!!!
SYTE and ZENX picks of the week!! (so far)...
MM's seem happy to keep it going on up. Let's see how they close it today, I'm guessing they will maintain the trend, buyers available, IMO. Over $4 by the end of the week, sector willing....
Gold, one final correction????
“There’s no doubt gold and the mining stocks are going much higher, but investors will probably get a chance to buy in on a pullback--although the next pullback will be the buy,” says Tom O’Brien, editor of the Gold Report. Since topping out at $873 per ounce in January 1980, a time of rampant inflation, gold endured a 20-year bear market, double bottoming at around $250 per ounce in 1999 and in 2001."

Some more chart talk.....when the 10 day (blue) ema crossed the 50 day (red) ema back in June was the "sell" time, when the 10 day ema crossed back over the 50 day a few days ago was "buy" time. Check the charts of your other holdings and the 10/50 day ema's crossovers will be apparent........
Yeah, silly me bought NGAS instead! Besides, I thought AMEP was a Buy and Hold?????
Sector moving TDYH up.....I'm betting it will hold after the storm worries, others will probably fall back sharply if we get through this next storm OK. Update news soon???
Is AMEP the only G&O stock that didn't go up today??
NGAS going crazy today with the O&G stocks, up 16%....got in at 8.43 when 8.00 didn't look possible on 9/14:
