I am not all that familiar with the lists you are talking about but I also don't think it would show who is selling. If someone has over 50,000 shares and sells 1,000 how would the list show that unless you knew how many the guy started with?
In any case, I don't think there's a board on all of I-Hub that has the lists you are talking about published and it's a bit of an odd request.
There were 2 "sells" today of 1000 shares each and one known buy of 1500 shares. The buy of 1500 was put in for Ask at 20 cents and was filled at 18 cents. If it would have been filled at Ask, we would be even at 20. Because it was sold at 18, we were down 10%. Looks pretty darned calculated to me. This we know for a fact. The 2 "sells" well know knows. 2,000 shares total representing about 179.00 when you take out the commissions on these transactions. Wow, that is almost sad.
Hardly a dump going on here so I'm in no hurry to investigate who is "selling".
The volume of this stock is about 1/100th of most OTC stocks. There's no dumping going on here and even if 2000 sold today, 1500 of them were instantly snapped up. Market makers aren't getting more to play hob with. Tragic.
No wonder NITE is top dog in the OTC. He has got it so good he can afford to sell shares below his published ask. Must have enough in those Cayman Island accounts. I mean seriously - why would a market maker do that unless the entire purpose here was to take the stock down?
Why not just NAME the Ask at 18 instead of publishing 20 and selling at 18? Some FINRA rule I overlooked about how much cheaper one market maker can go than the other market makers? I will have my securities attorney look into that for me.
Can I get some at 15? I can buy more that way. This is like the Priceline.com NAME YOUR PRICE thing - is that what we are doing here now? Well great, let's find 20 people who want to get in on this sale NITE is running and see what happens. I am simply going to have to start selling the furniture now so I can get my hands on these discount shares. It's okay I was getting tired of the decor.
It is an amazing job the market maker NITE is doing. He's got the free market system all figured out. Simply invent shares that don't exist, sell them always at least 5-10 cents cheaper than the other market makers (NITE 20 cent ask, HDSN 25 cents, AUTO 30 cents). Sell some at bid. Make the spread so unappealing those with scared money don't come knocking on your door to buy. Drag it out so that if shakey ever does buy you scare him into selling at a loss. Hope that shakey cries over spilled milk and helps bad mouth the "big bad longs." Try to take the stock down and hand it over to flippy.
Sadly NITE is playing Checkers and I prefer an ancient Chinese game upon which many tenets of the Art of War (Sun Tzu) are based.
NITE you just won't get my shares and you will never get those of the majority shareholders. Remember man, there's only 10M in the float and 255 shareholders of record. Most of whom are way too busy to check in on your bullpucky games on a daily basis.
Good luck trying to fill that hole you dug.
Ball is in your court, NITE. I would stop this mickey mouse stuff you're doing that's as transparent as a Victoria's Secret nightie
and start covering, but I'm just sayin'. Start by getting off the Ask - you don't have 5000 shares to sell at 20 cents and you know it. I'd happily buy some from HDSN at 25 cents.
I fail to see what it would clarify to post people's names on the board.
There are 255 shareholders of record per the 10K.
Find me a board on I-Hub where the list of the shareholders is posted. That might even violate the TOU privacy-related rules.
I didn't think Qtip was naming names here.
It does seem a little unlikely that someone needed the $100 minus commission (probably 89.00 after commission) that badly that they would sell for 10 cents but I suppose some people are that shakey.
Or they are on NITE's payroll. Shakeeeeey or employeeeee, they both help shortie in the end. But shortie is so short he will need way more help than 1,000 shares or even 10,000.
Of course I still have to wonder if it was simply a bidwhack purchase of 1000 shares. It has happened. My first shares I got at a discount for 9 cents. I'm still gloating over that.
My broker is under orders that anytime I want to sell shares they get sold to AUTO. NITE won't get mine. Of course I am not selling a single share, I have an order to buy some, placed after hours because I got busy with something else. Buy orders can be requested to go to AUTO too. I guess AUTO then has to get them from NITE's apparently unlimited treasure trove of shares. I'm not sure, does that mean NITE owes AUTO shares then? I guess they settle that up later.
I will do what I can to help you get out if that's what you want. I have brought 9 investors to TelVue not including me (that's 10) and I am not done yet. More people wanna come in, then you can get out. Won't be long now for you.
Mike Shenher owes me (really US as shareholders) a few things I have been pounding the drum for. When he is back from China I am expecting these matters to be attended to:
1) new website. I have been told it is in the works but let's get this done and up.
2) IR firm. Someone said there is one but I don't have the data on who they are and I have seen no press release about having an IR firm. There was a website dug up by someone on here weeks ago. It tooted their horn saying they ran a successful PR campaign for CPOW and giving Mike as the contact. When I asked him he said he never heard of these people and he was getting professional help to look into it. If someone knows of an actual IR Firm get me the data.
3) attract investors. I would hope this is being worked on.
4) expand the company by completing the deals in the works. We know about the JV with CGG being finalized but there are a lot of loose ends as you point out.
I've never been to Regina and I am really not that likely to go up there. The totality of my dealings with Mike Shenher, CEO CPOW, have been in a few banal emails where I have asked about things like Share Structure and other items that could not possibly be construed as inside info. I have posted anything and everything I have gotten from him on this board. You guys need to form your own opinions.
Everyone needs to keep in mind that this company is a start-up. You just cannot get much riskier than a company like this. I do have to admire them for surviving the total shellacking they got from shortie and chicken little with the falling sky all these months. Shortie has not gone away. Here's your proof:
20110510|CPOW|136340|0|654463|O
20110509|CPOW|96527|0|420567|O
20110506|CPOW|48234|0|370202|O
There were no shorts on May 5th and only 6000 on May 4th. The shorting started again with news of the JV and is probably a key reason for the shareprice we are seeing. Someone just does not want to see this thing go up period.
Now here comes the arguments that these are "temporary shorts while market makers settle their..." blah, blah, blah. Yeah I have some beachfront property in Kansas too.
WAYYYYY back in this board somewhere there are some messages about someone that went up to the Regina plant. Check around Dec/Jan for the converation on this. It's too bad they took down the General Bio Energy website because there was a video on there that showed the inside of the place and how they make biofuels from canola.
Now THAT is a specific. Let's deal in the specifics then and not the generality of "no due diligence".
Someone want to take Eagle up on his challenge and make some calls? I have my hands full with another matter today.
I ask anyone that has not done so to watch the 3 videos uploaded about TelVue. They should be to the right of this message for clicking and if not, you can search for ticker TEVE in the video section of I-Hub.
Oh my this is a bit of a generality.
I gotta admit I missed something.
Granted it has been a busy few weeks for me and I have been getting out of my cave more that winter is over, but I missed this PR Firm.
Someone post for me the name and contact info.
I mean I would have to ask them but I assume they bought that whole wall of socks they have at wholesale and are selling them at retail, much like everything else in that store. It's an organic supermarket kind of like a Whole Foods but it is locally owned and operated.
14.99 at the store I get them from. They are the longer socks. I have a few pairs of the shorter ones I think they were 10.99.
CGG is a state owned business and does not trade publicly per what I know.
I have observed this as well.
As with all other rules it will need enforcement.
You will like them. I am wearing a pair now. My favorite organic supermarket has a wall of them.
I also have one in.
Someone post a level 2 please - supposedly all the orders are supposed to show up now per the new FINRA regs. Maybe not - I won't pretend to understand the regs fully but something was going into effect TODAY about order display.
Here is some data about this:

I do not know what will happen with CPOW shareprice today but I wish you all good luck. News will only move this stock if buying pressure comes in IMHO. I'd like to see Mike Shenher attract some Chinese investors now that GCC is on board.
One does what they can to call attention to the opportunity here. There are 2 sides to a trade - the short position and the long. Shortie has a lot of time, money and effort in betting against the company. The company persists, longs are not selling, this float is small and newbies coming in are being sold shorted shares. The hole is getting deeper - keep digging Sir NITE. Those holding their shares on the long side will see money. The time horizon - well, who knows. How long is someone willing to wait to get paid on a sure thing versus gambling with their hard earned money in other places? I got tired of market makers taking my money from me in other stocks. I work very hard for my meager paycheck. That's why I am here now.
Makes you wonder what would happen if Mr. Big came in here and bought 100,000 shares at Ask. Would they simply be shorted and delivered with a fake smile or would shortie get the idea it's time to start covering? And how much does shortie have to pay us for our shares before we are willing to sell them back to him for said covering?
Firstly this is not a full Level 2. These are bid and ask quotations. Full level 2 would also show you trades and at what price and at what time they traded.
You cannot really look at that thing before a certain time in the morning because all the quotations are not in. Even when the opening bell hits, sometimes these quotes are delayed.
There are new FINRA rules going in TODAY about these quotations and I posted that earlier to the board.
If a market maker doesn't want to be on the Ask, it is customary to set a very high Asking price just to be off the front lines but not completely off the battlefield.
My other stock, T*VE, has DOMS usually at $500 for shares. He is actually almost correct on that one (it's a MOASS) but I'm just sayin'. Right now neither stock is going to be trading at those levels and the market makers are in Park instead of Drive.
Good luck to CPOW investors.
Most of my friends are younger people and have a higher risk tolerance. Some of them did not have IRAs or even trading accounts until I encouraged them to open them, buy some TelVue shares and practically forget they are there. This company will be around - it is not going anywhere. I agree with Qtip's predictions for the future - uplist to NASDAQ. Institutional buyers coming in (most of them CAN'T buy in until the stock is over a certain shareprice). Dividends. etc.
For traders looking to get in and out quickly with extra cash, well that might be a problem for now. I just happen to know a ton of people and for most of them this is something for the future.
I have to admit I find this article confusing. The volume described does not match what actually traded on Thursday or Friday. In fact, the volume is exceptionally low for this stock right now, a fact which probably has to do with a bit less short selling of this stock and longs holding what they have and not buying more. Is it possible this article is from earlier this year and somehow was pulled to a current date?
I agree it would be great to see a buyback or some other action taken. Until then, I just tell everyone I know about TelVue and encourage them to get a slice of this pie.
Welcome back to the board Eagle. I was wondering where you went.
This is a good point.
Although I will say apparently the prospect is viable enough for GCC to fund 95% of this project.
New FINRA Regs to be implemented Monday.

Good luck to CPOW investors.
Nice. Thanks for posting this.
lol. I like your enthusiasm. A lot of the investors in this company never see I-Hub. I forgot what the # of shareholders of record are for CPOW but there are only 69 people watching this CPOW board and many CPOW investors are Canadian folk. I asked about getting some Chinese investors for CPOW now that the deal is coming together.
Good luck to CPOW investors.
Good questions.
michael.shenher@gmail.com
He's in China, remember for time zones.
I just posted it.
Set yourself up with a Google alert for CPOW. You will get these things when they hit.
Volume still pretty low - it's a Friday and some folks thinking only about the coming weekend.
Hopefully the word gets around.
Good luck to CPOW investors.
TEVE low float. 10.371M shares. Majority shareholder = billionaire Gerry Lenfest. Google him.
Good morning littlerichie.
I didn't understand your post, what happened exactly?
Thank you for this.
Good luck to CPOW investors.
From the SEC website:
You Have Options for Directing Trades
If for any reason you want to direct your trade to a particular exchange, market maker, or ECN, you may be able to call your broker and ask him or her to do this. But some brokers may charge for that service. Some brokers offer active traders the ability to direct orders in Nasdaq stocks to the market maker or ECN of their choice.

Recently I have been requesting my buys are routed to AUTO. SEC allows this as above. My prerogative.
NITE's always so much cheaper but I'm just sayin'.
I guess my orders to AUTO get AUTO to go to NITE to get the shares since he's almost always the cheapest Ask. They'll settle that between them I guess. Shouldn't be a problem, right, if NITE has shares. He does have shares, doesn't he? I mean he seems to have SO MANY shares over there he can sell them below published Ask! Wow! Shares on sale over at NITE, get 'em at 16 when the Ask is 20! Maybe even cheaper! Thanks for the cheapies today - what did I do to deserve that?! You made my Cinco de Mayo, dude.
NITE filled all buy orders today, including those I got from him on a via from AUTO. Get off the Ask if you don't have shares, NITE. Here's your butt hanging out again on the RegSHO list tonight:
20110505|TEVE|46250|0|80800|O
Probably would have shorted the whole lot of them if you didn't scoop up those stop losses at 14. Didn't get enough though did you?
Get off the Ask if you don't have shares. Or raise the Bid and get people to sell you some. Don't sit there selling at 16 and 20 cents and pretending you have shares and you don't have to cover.
I ain't selling you any of mine. Even if I was going to sell I'd tell my broker to sell them to AUTO.
Good luck covering.
Finally.
Let's see how the market reacts tomorrow.
Good luck to CPOW investors.
The first transaction of the day for 6250 was a buy at below published Ask. A fellow I-Hub person. I got me some cheapies today too. Almost impossible to sort out here what is a buy and what is a sell. Not that it matters. I do wonder how many stop losses got scooped up today.

Yeah we got some stability here and the only thing that will probably move this is news.
All I have, folks, is a 1 line email from Mike Shenher that I already posted here.
He's still in China and says "keep watch" which I assume means watch for news.
I had emailed and said hey look it's time for some news.
Gotcha. If someone is putting in bidwhack orders trying to buy shares at bid or closer to bid than ask, do they end up in that same line?
I am feeling a little slow today so humor me.
You are talking about a sell QUEUE which is something I never heard of. And you are saying you have a sell order (or multiple orders) in for 2500 shares. You're going to sell at .101 which is the bid or are you trying to sell at Ask? Or are you putting in limit orders to sell above ask? How can you see where you are in this queue?
Not attacking you here I am genuinely curious if there is a way to see all this, because for me it has been impossible on Level 2 to tell what is a buy and what is a sell. This is because sometimes (actually often) purchase trades are executed at bid or any old bidwhack purchase that comes along is filled even if it's 9 cents below published Ask. Those helping the market maker here occasionally get their sell orders filled at Ask.
If you are trying to sell that's fine I just hope NITE gives you a good price for them. It seems like you have been here awhile and if you really want to get out I hope you can do so without a loss.
Please post to the sell queue you refer to. I believe some of those orders are bidwhacks. People wanting to buy below ask. I'm good with that as long as they understand what's happening here.
