I think you are probably right that Trump and Putin have choreographed a harmless show of force by the US so Trump can look brave and strong. He will probably bomb another empty airfield, just like last time, that the Syrians can repair in a day or two. If, however, Putin follows through and blocks the US missiles, it will be a huge humiliation for the USA, forcing us into greater conflict. Let's pray that your prediction is correct. The incident will be over in a few days and it won't do Trump any good in stopping Mueller from draining the swamp named Trump.
I have to say jedijazz that I am disappointed with the cetxp dividends. When I bought I was expecting 10% cash dividends on initial price, not 10% stock dividends on deflated price.
We do NOT want a war with Russia. It would not be good for our economy, it would not be good for the world. If we must strike (we don't have to strike militarily) we should be careful to only kill Iranian troops. Trump wants to bomb Iran anyway, ever more so as Mueller's noose around his neck tightens. By getting all of Cohen's papers, he probably got ahold of every contract Trump has been involved in over the last ten years as well as his taxes. These are perilous times we live in.
And Trump's praying like hell that action on Syria will take Americans' minds off of all the unethical crap that will be revealed both before and since he became president that is in his lawyer's files. Stormy Daniels will be the least of it.
When is this fabulous news going to get a wider release?
I would venture that all the early buys at 6c read it here first.
Actually, I'm waiting for a little pullback before I sink a couple mil into it.
China did not declare war on the US, China responded to the foolish tariffs President Trump stupidly placed on Chinese products.
Jedijazz -- It's possible that the market isn't going to reverse real soon. Many people are predicting a DOW under 20,000 by June. Nothing is certain.
I don't believe CETX is a scam company, it is not true that we all know otherwise, and it is an eager assumption on your part to say that the stock promo companies CETX legitimately hires "tend to be scams." If you are going to make spurious accusations towards credible businesses, you might consider providing some facts, Sir, not just accusations you put in bold.
One of management's important duties is promoting the stock. Thanks for pointing that out and for being supportive of the stock yourself.
Can't handle the truth, AF?
When it goes down to .025, they will have made 100%.
.25-.26 has always worked for me.
I confess to not being the most sophisticated at reading 10 Q's and K's, but looking over those numbers today, I didn't see much to convince me this is a growing company.
What exactly is known about what's to come to inspire faith in large future growth, O'Brien?
From last minute sales, I assume 10K disappointed?
Any explanations?
What else did Wayne LaPierre say?
I dislike buying a stock that has just recently doubled, but I bought into PIOE today 1.58.
What kind of short and long-term targets are wee looking at?
This is my last response to this issue on Orions Money Stocks.
The Second Amendment
The Second Amendment of the United States Constitution reads: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." Such language has created considerable debate regarding the Amendment's intended scope. On the one hand, some believe that the Amendment's phrase "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms" creates an individual constitutional right for citizens of the United States. Under this "individual right theory," the United States Constitution restricts legislative bodies from prohibiting firearm possession, or at the very least, the Amendment renders prohibitory and restrictive regulation presumptively unconstitutional. On the other hand, some scholars point to the prefatory language "a well regulated Militia" to argue that the Framers intended only to restrict Congress from legislating away a state's right to self-defense. Scholars have come to call this theory "the collective rights theory." A collective rights theory of the Second Amendment asserts that citizens do not have an individual right to possess guns and that local, state, and federal legislative bodies therefore possess the authority to regulate firearms without implicating a constitutional right.
In 1939 the U.S. Supreme Court considered the matter in United States v. Miller. 307 U.S. 174. The Court adopted a collective rights approach in this case, determining that Congress could regulate a sawed-off shotgun that had moved in interstate commerce under the National Firearms Act of 1934 because the evidence did not suggest that the shotgun "has some reasonable relationship to the preservation or efficiency of a well regulated milita . . . ." The Court then explained that the Framers included the Second Amendment to ensure the effectiveness of the military.
This precedent stood for nearly 70 years when in 2008 the U.S. Supreme Court revisited the issue in the case of District of Columbia v. Heller (07-290). The plaintiff in Heller challenged the constitutionality of the Washington D.C. handgun ban, a statute that had stood for 32 years. Many considered the statute the most stringent in the nation. In a 5-4 decision, the Court, meticulously detailing the history and tradition of the Second Amendment at the time of the Constitutional Convention, proclaimed that the Second Amendment established an individual right for U.S. citizens to possess firearms and struck down the D.C. handgun ban as violative of that right. The majority carved out Miller as an exception to the general rule that Americans may possess firearms, claiming that law-abiding citizens cannot use sawed-off shotguns for any law-abiding purpose. Similarly, the Court in its dicta found regulations of similar weaponry that cannot be used for law-abiding purposes as laws that would not implicate the Second Amendment. Further, the Court suggested that the United States Constitution would not disallow regulations prohibiting criminals and the mentally ill from firearm possession.
Thus, the Supreme Court has revitalized the Second Amendment. The Court continued to strengthen the Second Amendment through the 2010 decision in McDonald v. City of Chicago (08-1521). The plaintiff in McDonald challenged the constitutionally of the Chicago handgun ban, which prohibited handgun possession by almost all private citizens. In a 5-4 decisions, the Court, citing the intentions of the framers and ratifiers of the Fourteenth Amendment, held that the Second Amendment applies to the states through the incorporation doctrine. However, the Court did not have a majority on which clause of the Fourteenth Amendment incorporates the fundamental right to keep and bear arms for the purpose of self-defense. While Justice Alito and his supporters looked to the Due Process Clause, Justice Thomas in his concurrence stated that the Privileges and Immunities Clause should justify incorporation.
However, several questions still remain unanswered, such as whether regulations less stringent than the D.C. statute implicate the Second Amendment, whether lower courts will apply their dicta regarding permissible restrictions, and what level of scrutiny the courts should apply when analyzing a statute that infringes on the Second Amendment. As a general note, when analyzing statutes and ordinances, courts use three levels of scrutiny, depending on the issue at hand:
strict scrutiny
intermediate scrutiny
rational basis
Recent lower-court case law since Heller suggests that courts are willing to uphold
regulations which ban weapons on government property. US v Dorosan, 350 Fed. Appx. 874 (5th Cir. 2009) (upholding defendant’s conviction for bringing a handgun onto post office property);
regulations which ban the illegal possession of a handgun as a juvenile, convicted felon. US v Rene, 583 F.3d 8 (1st Cir. 2009) (holding that the Juvenile Delinquency Act ban of juvenile possession of handguns did not violate the Second Amendment);
regulations which require a permit to carry concealed weapon. Kachalsky v County of Westchester, 701 F.3d 81 (2nd Cir. 2012) (holding that a New York law preventing individuals from obtaining a license to possess a concealed firearm in public for general purposes unless the individual showed proper cause did not violate the Second Amendment.)
More recently, the Supreme Court reinforced its Heller ruling in its Caetano v. Massachusetts (2016) decision. The Court found that the lower "Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court was wrong in the three reasons it offered for why the state could ban personal possession or use of a “stun gun” without violating the Second Amendment." The Supreme Court, however, remanded the case without further instructions, so this per curiam ruling did not do much to further clarify the Supreme Court's stance on the Second Amendment.
The simplest way I can put this is that you don't know what you're talking about.
Tell me about the well-regulated militia you are a member of.
This really isn't the place. Why don't you meet me out behind the gym?
The pledge of allegiance means nothing. Read some info on it.
The Pledge of Allegiance was written in August 1892 by the socialist minister Francis Bellamy (1855-1931).
If social democracy means communism then the GOP equal fascism. Neither equation is true.
The wrong side? I believe in truth, justice, and the American way. You guys are just ideological parrots.
Govil certainly has shown himself to be a man of character, you're right about that, lucky.
If you believe in a social democracy then we're on the same side. If you believe that government has responsibilities to its citizens and has the right to tax them in order to achieve those goals then we're on the same side. If you believe healthcare should not be a for-profit industry, then we're on the same side. If you believe that Caucasians are not superior to people of color then we're on the same side. If you believe that government has the right to regulate private industry to avoid damage to the environment then we're on the same side. If you believe that citizens don't have the right to private ownership of military grade weapons, then we're on the same side. I could go on, but I suspect we're not on the same side.
We should probably lower the age for people to have the right to buy assault rifles, right Herr vlispxpeert? The constitution didn't place an age restriction on who could buy guns. By God our rights are being trampled on by the commies who hate America, vote Democratic, and are opposed to the ease with which mentally unstable teenagers can buy military grade weapons. You're a very deep political thinker, vlispxpeert.
Oh my god, some adults agree with them. They should be arrested. I'll bet George Soros wrote all their speeches.
Hopefully, you're on the wrong side of history. If you're not, god help us.
Hahaha! People protesting that teenagers can buy assault rifles and shoot up schools are just like Nazis. Hahaha. That's so funny. Funniest video of the year!
They're more like Nazis than people who wear swastika armbands, give the Hitler salute, actually call themselves Nazis, and march through American streets chanting about getting rid of Jews. Those are fine Americans, probably just like you, not like those fascist little students who survived a school shooting. Aren't they, vlispxpert? Hahaha, that was so funny.
Correctomundo, 236. Brilliant move by Govil!!!
I added at 2.89, you beat me by 2 cents. Excellent timing, 236!
Oh no! Vicon included a standard boilerplate disclaimer in a 10K but you're right not to "worry" about it Lucky. You're right to keep the faith. Good luck with your holdings in CETX!!
$CETX 3.20 Leaving the 200dma in the dust. News of an acquisition today.

It's probably short in both length and duration.
On another note, I began an experiment at the beginning of the year. Between January 3rd and last week, I bought 12 different stocks recommended by AF at the prices he declared were good entry points, sometimes at prices that he declared would go BOOM. I dumped the five I was still holding today. I made money on 4 of them total, lost money on 8 of them total, and lost some money overall.
I don't post this to denigrate AF or his methods, I'm sure he was out of all of them before I was, and if you have time to devote all day watching his picks and getting out as quickly as he does you would probably do better than I did. If it's not something you can do, if like me you can't monitor these stocks all day long and sometimes have to be away from the computer for hours at a time during the trading day, I think it's very difficult to keep up with him and to make money on quick trades.
No hard feelings, AF. I take responsibility for every one of my buys and sells, even if I don't know what I'm doing. I like this thread (although a majority of you could use some political enlightenment) and I'm going to stick around. I've learned things reading here.
Maybe Stormy Daniels will finally tell all!
OT: The only thing that happened to the Kennedy's on 8/9/74 was that they got a little chuckle.
