Wasn't me either, which is a good sign
4000 .269 Trade it sideways based on supply and demand
.26-.28 If we get thru VFIN on the .28 ask we should be on our way.
I didn't think much stock available .24
I think the company could be featured in a local newspaper in Orlando and a network TV station could possiblly feature the company sometime after tomorrow. Possibly an article in the WSJ as well but they move a little slower.
Won't know more until after tomorrow's event unfolds. You know anybody in the Orlando area that may want to go and check it out.
market maker 1000--I need shares
.24 to .28. A good area to accumulate. That rhymes what ya think?
I feel .24 and .25 will look like excellent buys in a few weeks time. VFIN has stock available at .28. When that is gone a big move should begin to play out.
For the most part today one buyer bought about 225K shares and left. You and mtcinO were the rest. No trades since you in past 30 minutes. last trade 12: 58 Volume 301K
Be interesting to see if buyer comes back at the close. I would look for .27 maybe at the close. Especially with the possibility of something positive happening tomorrow you would think some buyers would come back later today.
I think your right. With bid @ .235 Ask .24 with limited size There arent' any market makers with stock till .27.
VFIN probably has it capped at .28 if any institution of size were to take a position.
That was you in 5 trades. Now 5000 @ .24 since your order and bid moved to .235
Nite jumped above SBSH. .235 bid now. I bet not much in in size is available at .23.
Put a bid in for 10K @ .23 below the bid. I doubt you can fill
Were you the fill in 5 orders @ .23?
VFIN and NITE seem to run together on the bid and ask. You see them on the .21. EGRP and UBS backed up right under. Interestin how they trying to play the spread. 25K shares in 6 small trades .23. Nothing compared to the the shares crossed .25 .26 earlier.
Note small trades mention in IHUB Box mick placed there by market makers indication for orders.
10 d.ma. at .22 and starting to turn up. What happens when 10 dma breaks back above the 50 and 200 dmas's Good technical sign correct?
Try and buy 10K here at .24. See how long it takes to fill. MM just took ask to .24 only showing 5K.
VFIN is .21 Bid Ask .28
Warrants are exercisable at .21. What a coincidence
On 274,000 shares traded traded today only 14,000 have been at .23. For the most part it appears to be 200K crossed in 4 trds of 60K 50K, 30K,& 25K @ .25-.26. respectively.
Market maker pulled it down to .23 temporarily. The .26 area is a technical breakout area. Notice the spread widening on bid and ask
Nothing on web. It is not actually a meeting. I believe it is a Invitation only media conference in Orlando set up by the I.R. firm .
Smack right up against the 50 dma. Acting like it should. Be nice to see another million share day. Could stall here briefly but expect it to be very brief.
4000 Biovaults? Cyberkey sales possibly?
I'm curious as if the 4000 Biovaults were made in conjunction with the recent announcement and deal Cyberkey made at the Homeland Security Conference with the military.
I think they bought Hallwood Energy. Hallwood symbol used to be HEC I think....Will research tomorrow. Hallwood was Natural Gas L.P. paid out dividends based. Will check tomorrow.
FWIW, I've been following TVIA. I have interest in interactive TV sector as been following OPTV. Just noticed you have been following TVIA as well.
OPTV has me confused FWIW. TVIA does as well
However, not confused on SQUM
AngelHillCorp with no spaces. Very Good. I'm impressed with her analysis in such a short period of time.
Mick: I thought Angel Hill Corp did a great job analyzing SQUM with only a limited amount of time.
Games; You are absolutely correct. In fact, Sequiam symbol SQUM management took in lieu of loans/bonds (a step up above security interest in case of liquidation) and converted their priority interest into common stock in the company which is restricted for more than 12 months. This is reflected in recent SEC filings if nobody believes me.
Management within Sequiam has very high credentials in my opinion.
This isn't your normal penney stock B.S. company. They are vested and can't dump stock for the forseeable future.
Good post and thanks for chiming in on this warrant issue.
Exactly, The institutions are trying to take control.
And Analystslie!!!!
Pardon the Pun, but now you know my agenda. Analysts do lie!
No pun intended
Very good and accurate summation!
HEC, Sorry for the confusion HEC is Harken Energy. I used to follow Hallwood Energy. Are they still around?
HEC, I used to follow. Hallwood Energy Partners correct. I used to play it for the dividend. They still a L.P.?
SQUM Sequiam New Product Brochure just released. This is same as CKYS Cyberkey's Regency Biolock.

Nice volume at the close SQUM 941,700
PRVB, I got a small taste yesterday @ .38. Looks like it wants to kiss the 200 dma @ .34 one more time. Bounced nicely two times off it already in the past month.
Private-Equity ETF Poses Some Problems
By Jen Ryan
TheStreet.com Personal Finance Reporter
When it debuted in late October, the PowerShares Listed Private Equity Portfolio symbol (PSP) generated a lot of excitement.
That's because it was the first exchange-traded fund to give investors exposure to stocks whose main business is to invest in or lend money to privately held companies. Everyone seems to have a strong opinion as to whether this is a good idea.
So when one of the ETF's holdings, Utek (UTK), plummeted almost 40% on Oct. 26, just days after the ETF launched, industry observers took note. But it wasn't because the stock's decline had a big impact on the ETF. In fact, Utek accounted for only about 0.75% of PSP's portfolio at the time, and the ETF managed to close higher that day.
It was a bit of wake-up call though, reminding investors that they need to check what securities underpin an ETF before plunging in. Many say this is particularly true with the private-equity ETF, as there are some other questionable holdings and the ETF may not be exactly what it claims to be.
"Any ETF has the risk of having one of its components blow up like that," says J.D. Steinhilber, founder of AgileInvesting.com, an investment advisory subscription service that provides advice on managing portfolios with ETFs. However, he says the private-equity ETF, which has just 34 holdings, is more concentrated than most. That makes it more susceptible to a big decline in an individual stock.
Additionally, Steinhilber says that because many of the companies held in the ETF are small and are micro-caps such as Capital Southwest (CSWC , Gladstone Capital (GLAD ), Investment Capital (TICC ) and Hercules Technology Growth Capital (HTGC), coupled with the general risks involved with private equity, "this security will be more volatile and have a higher risk profile than [other] ETFs," he said. "Anyone buying it should have that in mind and have an appropriate time horizon."
Greg Newton, a freelance financial journalist who runs the Naked Shorts blog agrees: There are some "pretty questionable companies" held in the ETF, he says. "People have to be a lot more careful about taking a look under the hood."
Other observers also have expressed concern that the private-equity ETF may not be exactly what it claims to be.
"Part of the problem is a lot of the companies in this ETF basket aren't really private equity," says Carl Delfeld, president of ChartwellETFAdvisor.com, an ETF portfolio advisory service.
A lot of them instead "lend money or do leveraged buyouts or service private-equity companies," he says. "So it's kind of an awkward fit."
There are companies in there that are more lenders than private equity companies in the sense of buyouts and venture capital, says AgileInvesting.com's Steinhilber. "The name is a bit misleading."
Some of the companies Steinhilber points to include Allied Capital (ALD), which accounts for about 6.5% of the portfolio, American Capital Strategies (ACAS), which makes up about 8.5% of the portfolio, and Capital Source (CSE), which is 7% of the holdings.
Those stocks are "very different from a lot of the other companies [in the portfolio] like early-stage pharmaceutical companies and owners of mutual fund companies," he says. "It's a real mixed bag, so I think investors really need to examine" what the ETF really is.
CEO Interview. It must have expired or the website is down.
VFIN now on the Bid @ .23. Wonder if they got caught with their pants down
Merci: Very nice SQUM chart
Business looks good and great fundamentals as well.
CKYS is reselling SQUM products. Cyberkey has relabeled Sequiam's Biovault under Cyberkey's Keepsafe brand. They have some decent margins but the Biovault/Keepsafe is manufactured by Sequiam.
Therefore, Sequiam wholesales the Biovault to Cyberkey in which Cyberkey places the Keepsafe logo on and marks up the price.
I'm not sure about the Biolock arrangement. From what I hear that is still being negotiated. Black and Decker is involved with the Biolock as a partner with Sequiam. I doubt Cyberkey's profit margins are very high on the Biolock as they are selling at the same price you can directly purchase from Sequiam at the present time.
It seems that Cyberkey has some contracts with the government which is reason for Cyberkey Sequiam relationship.
I feel Sequiam is the better buy at the present time.
Good job. Just got back
I'm going to be gone for a couple of hours.
