Olibri is a First-Rate Seer
Look at that. Just like he said. One good ask slap and it's back up to .005 Man, all that sunshine coming down on those dark clouds must hurt, huh? I still think it's likely that it'll finish somewhere in the 5s today, and it's been pushing back fairly well against attempts to drive it down to the very low 4s. Not saying that won't eventually happen (gotta go through the valley in order to climb to the top of the mountain, after all); just that it hasn't happened as yet.
I See a PR In...2 Weeks
Not really. In fact, I have no idea if one'll ever be in the offing so I'm just going to have to go on performance. Being as I'm a relative newcomer to the great ocean of stock known as VYGO I've got my patience underwear on and a comfortable pair of shoes as well, so I'm all set to see what I can see in the next few weeks, months and years. That's what going long means to me.
Now buck up all you little buckeroos and stand strong. After all, where's everybody going to jump? Pretty much nowhere else, from what I can see (LOL!)
Does a PR REALLY Matter?
For those of us going long, not really. For those constantly slapping the stock down, what's the point? Olibri isn't a company officer, from what I can tell and why would any of us think that he wouldn't be anything but bullish on the thing? He's holding a lot of stock, so of course he's got to jump on that bull's back and whip it into a frenzy.
Again; I'm trying to figure out the motivations of the folks who are so bearish on it. What's in it for them?
Buy and HOLD
Today, it feels like a hold day. I wouldn't rush in to buy until it looks like the new floor's been firmly established. It looks like that's what's going on but I figured that .007 was going to be the new floor just a couple of weeks ago and ever since then the stock's been on a downward march. Seeing it pop into the green, however briefly (until SC and the others scared it back down to the read, that is...LOL!), was a good sign, I think
Volume Is Relatively Heavy This Morning
Volume's up somewhat since the start of trading and certainly it's a bit more vigorous than yesterday started out to be. Of course, the price, after making a little bit of headway, is dropping down but the stock is really volatile this week and there's not much us small players can do to keep that volatility at bay. So grab your bums, boyos, because it's going to be a bumpy ride
Now Look What You Did, Mr. Lexus (LOL!)
It's solely because the view that the price it right back down to .0048 Don't try to deny it because I know you and Dr. Evil (aka Rickyracer...LOL!) are on the case and making sure that there isn't a technical breakout about to happen, right?
But seriously; I think the stock is going to be in this kind of up-and-down pattern until definitive results are delivered in the coming weeks. They're just appears to be too many skittish investors, all sitting at their desks, fingers on the " sell" button and ready to run at the first sign of enemy action. Time will tell, I suppose, right?
Guys, Take a Look at That Price
Yup, it's looking mighty fine right now and it's in new, and green, territory for the first time in a couple of days, though -- honestly -- it's got a ways to go before it recovers to the 7s. But that's really not the point right now. At present, it's just nice to see it start battling back. So take that, all you "the sky is falling" types (Ha ha ha!). Today it's all chocolate covered cherries and snowy white unicorns. Certainly, where I'm living, it's bright and sunny and in the low 80s, so life is GOOD
Ha Ha, Why Restore the Box?
After all, the price is only going to go down today, right? So why the need for the box? It's only there for entertainment purposes, it seems like to me (wink, wink).
Me? I'm flying high and riding blind today and am just coasting along, sitting on my shares and looking at them much as I'd look at the change I'd take to a casino to plop into a slot machine.
Let's all play a game today; leave the box alone (because there are plenty of other places where, if somebody really wanted to, they could see the change in price) and we'll all take a guess as to what it'll end up at on EOD.
Mid-5s Today Looks Likely
All this fluff about the A/S and the O/S is just a distraction. Like you say, it'll be a long time before the A/S converts over to the O/S number. I get that some might think it's the company's way of trying to raise easy cash that shows little chance of being recouped by investors but I don't think that's what's going on. There was some serious bid whacking and it showed in the chart that was posted late last night. I'm trying to figure out the motives of the naysayers at present, because I don't see them as short sellers in this instance, so why the gloom and doom? Something else is going on.
A few days of downward movement is having an effect on a few of the bigger buyers, but I look at the daily trading volume and I don't see a likelihood anytime soon that it's going to enter into an extremely deep trough. Has it been a week characterized more by the downs than the ups? Of course, but this is an energy/oil stock and the markets -- no matter if they're OTCBB, sub-penny or whatever -- are sensitive right now due to that issue with BP/Transocean and the Gulf oil spill. That's bound to have an effect even on the tiny of the tiny (in this case, VYGO). It's not all about that, but there's a component to it.
Shhhhh! You're Scaring All the Women!
All the doomsaying is having its desired effect, no doubt, and a couple of the stalwarts are now having second thoughts. My reply to them would be "in for a penny, in for a pound." There's no sense in cutting and running now, is there? All that's going to do is cause further panic -- which looks to be a subsidiary effect of all this gloom-and-doom stuff -- and drive the price down further.
What's Your Guess on PPS EOD?
So what's your guess on today's EOD pps? Leaving aside the desire on the part of folks here who hold a relatively large amount of stock to rah-rah it back up, what do the folks here who apparently are bearish on VYGO think is going to happen, pps-wise? I see the A/S number is high but from what I can gauge, from the trading volume, there's nowhere near that number of shares outstanding. It'd be good, from my point of view, to see this company trading about 10 million shares per day (I think it hit 9 million one time in April, from what I remember), but it doesn't look like the daily volume's close to being that consistent so what's going on?
Obviously, I get that a few are trying to pump the stock as well. What I'm trying to figure out is why some are trying to drive the price down? Unless somebody's bought in high and has taken a short position (and who'll profit on the short sell) and I don't know why they'd be so vigorous in their slagging. Is it something personal or some desire to save potential buyers from their own worst impulses? That's laudable but misplaced, in my view.
Awright...What's the Betting Line Today?
From what I can tell from the gloomier types here, the CEO should be hauled away from his desk in chains and sent to Devil's Island. And with no cable TV package, to boot. Also, a few of the stalwarts seem to be going a little wobbly and ready to bolt from the line due to the amount of incoming fire being received. In other words, I wouldn't be surprised to see a couple of folks running around screaming FLEE, FLEE...RUN FOR YOUR LIVES! today.
I don't think it's all that bad, though there may even be a triple bottom, as we were discussing yesterday. Given that, what's the consensus? I think it recovers enough to finish somewhere in the 5s today, at least. My guess is Mr. Lexus (SC300) predicts a finish in the 3s Speed Racer (Hey Ricky you're so fine, you're so fine you...get the point LOL!) no doubt, will be right there with him. On the pro (or, as I refer to them, "the forces of goodness and light") VYGO side, I see a lot of entreaties to BUY, BUY, BUY! GET THOSE MACHINES TURNED BACK ON!! from the fan club. Also; more than a few remarks about the nefarious individuals who engaged in bid whacking like a Soprano whacks a competing mobster. That whacking -- carried out by what is claimed to be a bunch of whackjobs -- seriously hurt yesterday.
But, today's a new day and it's all bright and shiny just like a freshly minted penny newly arrived from the federal mint, right? So let's get it on, boys and girls
Ouch! That Chart Makes My Knees Hurt
Oof! That's a gut (or n*t) punch, when it comes to looking at that chart, but there's a point where you're either all in or all out and no chart's going to change that. You're right that the bid whacking that went on was quite something and that there's a downward trend at the moment. But time will tell and even if there's a triple bottom there's still hope. Besides, the longs have nowhere to go but up because they're certainly in no position to hedge and go short, right?
I'm Not on Twitter
I quite frankly don't care about Tweets or Twits or whatever else the hoi polloi is using to communicate these days. I care about bottom line performance. So far, I haven't seen anything to disabuse me of the notion that we'll see improvement in the long term. To me, a long position is long. Not just weeks, but months or years. That's what being in it for the long haul is about. I can imagine that having a pack of nervous shareholders constantly demanding updates would lead me to cancel my Twitter account, at the least
Time is on My Side
And the haters will never drag me down to their level, just so they have somebody else to join them in their misery. I'm a big boy, over 18 (and crazy) and I know what the stakes are. If I fall it's because of me and not anybody else. I think I can make out on my own what's good and what's not. Right now, barring something weird, I think VYGO's still got the juice. It just needs to ripen and mature a bit, but from what I'm told that may only be a matter of weeks away.
Real Men of Genius
We real men of genius always find a way (LOL!). In other words, find a way to make money in any economy and in any circumstance, and you'll do just fine. Basically, people have to stay hungry and always on the lookout for the right opportunity. But folks also have to have patience and discipline (that's where the figurative testicular fortitude comes in) in order to succeed. Running at the sound of the first shot is a quick way to be taken down. High risk/high yield requires even more discipline in order to do well. The disciplined folks here will find that out.
I Like the Sound of a Technical Breakout
That'd be sweet. Anybody sitting on the stock now should be looking at the long term. Just as they should have been looking at the long term at .007 and .006 and so forth. I think the dump and run is a little premature right now, especially as we really don't know much about fuel delivery fulfillment at present. If that comes off, a lot of folks are going to be red-faced. I look, right now, at the stock as if I'm trying to fill an outside straight. Not too difficult, in other words. If this were an inside straight that I was trying to fill I'd be a little more concerned but it's not, so no worries.
It's Called a Sub-Penny For a Reason
If I wanted to swim in non-shark infested waters I'd put money into a blue chip like Google or in one of the Fortune 500 companies. But because I have a high tolerance for risk I'm willing to sink a few grand into something like VYGO. In actuality, I wouldn't normally read the prospectus or other literature on a stock like this. Play the percentages, buy low and sell high. That's all one needs to know about this kind of stock, which still most likely has a greater likelihood of success than investing a buck in a scratch-off lottery ticket would, right?
Not So Gloomy. It Makes My Knees Hurt
Don't be so gloomy. It's only the bottom of the third, not the bottom of the ninth. There's a lot of game left to play and being a pitcher facing a bases loaded, with no outs, scenario is just an opportunity to strike out the next three batters, big guy. Remember; the Chinese symbol for danger is made up of a couple of other characters, one of which includes "opportunity"
Yup. Effective Counterbattery Fire Will Commence Shortly
I expect a return to the norm soon, naysayers be damned (LOL!) We will retake the field, roll up the opposition (kick a$$ and take names, IOW) and then emerge triumphant. And filthy, stinking rich because of this stock (BIG SMILE).
The Eeyores are Winning the Day Today
Looks like all the doomsaying is having its desired effect. The weak-kneed are fleeing the field of battle before it's even been fairly joined. Too bad. Those who've dug their fighting holes correctly and are geared up to sling lead and send rounds downrange and then order in an arty time on target spread will do fine (i.e. those taking a long position will be okay...hahaha!). Sorry for all the "milspeak," but it's an apt analogy for what's going on here today.
I'm a Teetotaler
I don't drink alcohol What, specifically, is so bad about this sub-penny pink? It's an actual company, after all, right? I'm struggling to understand why anybody investing in pinks and sub-pennies, OTCBBs etc. wouldn't understand the high risk/high yield nature of such securities. It's better to look at such an investment as being akin to the money one would put into a slot machine, wouldn't you say? The visceral pleasure derived, if it pans out, would also be similar.
Okay; What'd I Miss?
Not much, apparently. It's still messing around in the 5s, so no surprise there. The naysayers are singing their naysaying songs and the sunshine boys (me included) are still singing hosannas to the power and glory of this stock. I like it.
Honestly, I don't see the company slinking away like some carrion eater after a bright light's been shined on it, so I'm taking a wait-and-see for now. Barring an attack by the pirates of the Caribbean (and there really ARE such groups), I think the company fulfills contracts and goes from there.
High Risk, High Yield
That's why stocks aren't guaranteed. But the higher yields they deliver are meant to be the reward for taking a gamble on something that one could very easily lose one's shirt on in no time flat. None of these securities are blue chip in the least and even the blue chips these days aren't so blue chip (Google's lost 50-plus dollars off its share price these last couple days, for example).
To me, if I'd bought in at .010 or .020 and the stock was sitting at where it is now, I'd have either sold off long ago or I'd be doing what I could to get the stock turned around and headed north again. Personally, I'd just consider it a very long-term investment or I'd have already written it off and moved on.
Some Mighty High Standards Here
Herb Kelleher, founder of Southwest Airlines, designed and started up his airline on the back of a cocktail napkin in a Dallas-area bar. Airlines I know for sure, because I was a director at Northwest prior to the merger with DAL. The point is, companies get started up, and ran, from a variety of venues. I have a couple of businesses that pretty much exist only in the form of 1s and 0s in my computer but which deliver a good product, so I'm not worried about the specifics of where it's run. Instead, I'm interested in results. In the end, what VYGO delivers will matter more than anything else.
Another Nice Buy
You're the perfect example of what I mean by long buyers who strengthen their positions by getting in when the pps is low and then who look to make their green when it rises, which this stock seems like it'll do if a few things pan out. Stocks are a gamble. If they weren't they'd be offering a guaranteed ROI. But they don't, so folks hyperventilating about price sensitivity (and this one is a tenderoni, no doubt) when it comes to securities like this makes me scratch my head a little
Speaking of Volume...
A few people just did the bugout boogie, it looks like. Running like the scared, spineless jellyfish they are, normally content to just float along and go with the current
That's okay, because the stock's hitting a point where it might be wise to scoop up a few more shares and then just park them in old Al Gore's (aka "The Goracle") fabled "lockbox," which is the same place all our Social Security money's supposedly parked (hahaha!).
No Guts, No Glory
I agree with the notion that newbies are running like scared rookies in the face of their first firefight with a determined enemy. That's unfortunate, but to be expected. I don't see the problem with those sitting on a long position because, by definition, going long means riding out the dips and rises. Also, by definition, going long would mean strengthening that position by buying a few more shares when the stock's low and then betting on an inevitable rise. Again; nothing wrong with that. The only problems I can see would be if somebody's trying to protect themselves by also shorting the stock but I don't see that happening too much with this sub-penny.
No, I think that it's going to take some time to get this stock sorted out properly but the good thing about it is that it's based on a real company, with real assets and real performance to judge. I can't speak to the specifics with this Sebastien fellow and his desire to abscond to Costa Rica with all the shareholder money he's supposedly got socked away because there'd be nothing any of us could do about that in the first place if he and his fellow officers were to do something like that. Due diligence doesn't mean putting private detectives on the man's trail, after all. Rather, it means looking at performance, potential for performance and also how much risk is acceptable. So far, I like what I'm seeing with VYGO. If that doesn't pan out, then the fault's on me and my poor due diligence and stock assessment skills.
Mmmmm! I Could Go for a Rally Burger!
A big, stinking, cholesterol-filled, greasy-yet-succulent rally burger. With all the fixings and sizzling hot. 'Course, we'll probably see a few valleys before we finally scale the highest peak but that's the way of things when it comes to a pinky. A little bit of patience will yield a lot of bit of green, or a double-rally burger with a side of fries and an ice cold cola
VYGO Recovered to .006 Yesterday
The stock's been going through a lot of ups and downs the last week and a half, with it dropping to the low 5s and even flirting with the high 4s a couple of days ago. If it behaves today as it's done the last couple of days there may be an opportunity for those looking for a short position (though most folks on that board are taking a long one, from what I can tell).
VYGO Open .006
Second day in a row it finished previous day's trading at .006 after dipping into the low 5s (the day before yesterday) and even flirting with the 4s and then making a recovery. Those going long on it aren't too upset at the daily ups and downs and I can see where taking a short position to start the day and then cashing in sometime during a low throughout the day are doing good, too. Nice pinky.
Absolutely Right (Pinks)
Going with pinks is a variation on venture capital activities without the need to listen to pitches or make a pitch to get the capital. Treat pinks like the high risk/high yield ventures that they really are and all should be okay. There's a reason these aren't known as blue chips, right?
For me, I'd rather spend my $$ on a pink than on another trip to the casino or on yet another big boy toy, such as a new car or a boat or a vintage 1966 Les Paul Custom gee-tar (yee-hah!). And certainly, when it pans out it's more satisfying than buying a dollar scratch-off lottery ticket and finding that I've won 2 dollars.
These aren't BB stocks, like you say. Once folks understand that, their stress levels usually go down.
Rally Monkeys Up!
I brought a whole troop of the little buggers with me today, so don't mind the monkey poo fights they'll get into because they're going to be bringing the mean green with 'em, too! (LOL!)
Now, everybody put on those rally caps (worn inside out and backwards, natch) and get down to the long strokes and let's see this puppy begin that big move to .05 Ahhhh...I love the smell of fresh money in the morning (hahaha!)
And it Looks Like the Rally Monkey Showed
Yup, all that dancing around the stock bonfire by Teffy and the other pro VYGOs did the trick because it made a nice recovery to finish out the day at least back where it started. That's nice, considering the prediction by a few of the more morose among us that the thing was probably going to do a Hindenburg and land itself, in flames, somewhere in the 4s. Oh the humanity, the humanity...
Well, Well...Second day at .006
Who's propping up the stock price? Nice recovery from the mid-5s back up to .006, which seems to be where it's going to be stuck at until further notice, for some reason. Just goes to show the essential relative strength of the thing, to me. Too strong to be deflated to the .004s, barring SC's reverse stock split, of course (LOL!).
Again; going long on this stock is the way to go.
Only the Strong Will Survive
You're right about this stock. Gotta have the testicular (and intestinal) fortitude to ride out the rough seas in expectation of the smooth sailing that lies just a few degrees further to the north (not south). Man...some of you guys are going to CLEAN UP if it does what's being predicted about it of late.
Heh-Heh: Reverse Split
Well, that'd be one way of getting it to .05, right (hahaha!). Maybe a one for ten, huh? Actually, I'd rather see a stock split (preferably, after it hits that magic .05) and all the folks here holding stock become rich beyond the dreams of avarice, or least rich enough to buy a new Smart Car for Two (LOL!).
Okay, Best Guess: When's it Hit .05?
What's the consensus from the pro-VYGO forces as to when it bumps up on a half-a-penny/pps? This dip is good, no doubt, and I think it's in a valley (which means a peak's coming), so when does it climb out of the trough and start heading for the big time (and thank YOU, Peter Gabriel...LOL!)
VYGO .0055
This stock's been on a roller coaster of late. I don't have much in it, but apparently a lot of folks on that board do. For a sub-penny pink it's certainly started a vigorous "discussion" on its relative strength and merits, I have to say. Anyway...it might make a good buy when it sinks a little lower (it almost dropped into the high 4s yesterday) and then sit on it until it makes a breakout to .050 or better later in the month. At least, that's what a lot of the guys there are saying...
VYGO .0055
It's been up and down the last 10 days and as high as .008 though it's been trying hard to stay out of the 4s. There are more than a few people over on the VYGO board loading up on the stock right now. I'm going long on it and I don't actually have all that much invested in it because I suck at pinks, currently, and I'm not confident enough to go all in but the stock's definitely going to make a big breakout soon, that much I can tell.
