CoolPennyStocks.com - USOG has reversal pattern, may breakout big
January 28, 2011
More on USOG
Make sure you have USOG on your watch list, it's very surprising to see a company making millions a year trading at these levels. In my opinion I don't think we will see USOG down here much longer.
USOG is displaying breakout tendencies as explained in my previous email.
USOG is showing a lot of potential on becoming an industry leader very quickly.
Their wholly owned operating subsidiary TurnBull oil generated $16.5 million in revenue in fiscal year 2008!
This kind of revenue in a horrible economy speaks volumes.
Earlier this year USOG made their second acquisition - United Oil & Gas, Inc.
The management team at United Oil has been immersed in the oil and gas industry for over thirty years!
This longevity has enabled United Oil to develop and run a highly efficient distribution system and customers span two states, and nine counties.
The large oil and gas companies have gone offshore and overseas in search of finding the "big" oil fields.
This gives USOG a lot of opportunity with U.S. fields. Over 10,000 oil companies have left the U.S. fields since 1982!
Not to mention the strong push by the government. The US government strongly supports domestic oil and gas exploration and production projects.
The tax benefits generated by a direct participation in oil and/or natural gas are substantial!
You can read about various tax benefits here on USOG's website: http://www.usaoilandgas.com/benefits.html
USOG acquires established companies with significant revenue, proven track records and experienced management reducing the risk of trial and error.
USOG has a dedicated prospecting team of specialists that have been successfully providing acquisitions to public companies for over 7 years.
USOG has a proprietary method of identifying and securing acquisitions that meet the following criteria:
1. Solid growth history
2. Profitable
3. Opportunity to increase profits
4. Strong management team willing to stay on board for minimum of two years
5. Little or no debt on the books
USOG's value proposition is to explore, drill and produce oil and gas and valuable co-products less expensively than larger oil companies.
Growing awareness in the United States is mandating the development of ecological integrity in the extraction of oil and gas.
USOG has a focus on developing green technologies that will improve efficiency, reduce damage to the environment, and provide positive marketing to the investment community.
USOG Technology: Drill Green Think Deep.
USOG has developed and maintains a portfolio of pending patents and patent applications that form the proprietary base for their research and development efforts in the area of Eco-drilling and small foot print technologies.
Recent USOG developments include:
Patent Application for AUTOMATED LEVELING SYSTEM FOR A PORTABLE DRILLING
rig that will save setup time and increase precision drilling efficiencies with the smallest footprint keeping with USOGs Green commitment to produce oil and gas with the most advance technologies minimizing environmental degradation.
Patent Application for A SIMPLE FIBEROPTIC SEISMOMETER FOR RUGGED ENVIROMENTS
that will dramatically reduce the cost of seismic sensor arrays having the fidelity and reliability necessary for permanent downhole and seafloor installations. The advancement promises to make big oil techniques for oilfield production management and exploration techniques available to the middle market players.
Without oil it would be pretty difficult for most of us to maintain our way of life.
U.S. oil consumption is approximately 21 million barrels/day representing a huge market for USOG!
USOG's market strategy is to capitalize on their expertise by positioning the Company to acquire well-run companies within a variety of oil and gas industry segments.
As a Parent Holding company, USOG functions from the perspective of an engineering firm. This is the nucleolus that directs what acquisitions are made and creates strategic alliances, develops proprietary technology, and increases the value for USOG investors.
More information on USOG is available at their website: www.usaoilandgas.com Always do your own research and consult with your own financial professional.
Exactly - only frozen through Fri. 6/17 per WSJ.
LOL - Be careful of rumours.
LOL - 214 shares at .0001 = 2 cents at EOD.
Who thinks this?
LOL - It did NOT hit "no bid" today.
It was only at .0001 for a small time.
Rumours are running rampid on this Board today!
I am in here for the long-term.
All good things take time.
There is nothing to panic about at this time IMO.
Excellent post Dev.
I totally agree.
I am amazed that so many people can't see the entire picture.
...unless it goes no bid.
I don't plan on selling my shares for awhile.
I have no problem waiting for $1.00+++
No bid.
Last trade was for 76,000 shares at 10:11:41
Scottrade is still locked.
ENTI stayed in the 3's most of the day.
Got my MMX T-Shirt today.
Thanks Tony.
Most of us are in the same boat.
What's Behind High-Frequency Trading
* AUGUST 1, 2009
Wall Street Journal
By SCOTT PATTERSON and GEOFFREY ROGOW
High-frequency trading, long an obscure corner of the market, has leapt into the spotlight this year. Wildly successful in 2008, high-frequency traders are the talk of Wall Street, attracting big bucks and some unwanted attention. Concerns that some traders are taking advantage of less fleet-footed investors has drawn the attention of regulators and members of Congress. The following is an explanation of the core issues, based on interviews with industry participants and regulators.
Q: What is high-frequency trading?
A: Definitions differ, but at its most basic, high-frequency trading implies speed: Using supercomputers, firms make trades in a matter of microseconds, or one-millionth of a second. Goals vary. Some trading firms try to catch fleeting moves in everything from stocks to currencies to commodities. They hunt for "signals," such as the movement of interest rates, that indicate which way parts of the market may move in short periods. Some try to find ways to take advantage of subtle quirks in the infrastructure of trading.
Other firms are "market makers," providing securities on each side of a buy and sell order. Some firms trade on signals and make markets.
Q: How do players make money in high-frequency trades?
A: Many high-frequency traders collect tiny gains, often measured in pennies, on short-term market gyrations. They hunt for temporary "inefficiencies" in the market and trade in ways that can make them money before the brief distortions go away.
Market-making, high-frequency firms hope to make money on the difference between how much investors are willing to buy and sell a stock, or the "bid-ask spread." They do this by selling and buying on both sides of the trade. Many exchanges offer "rebates" of about one-third of a penny a share to outfits that are willing to step up and provide shares when needed.
Q: Who are the big players in high frequency?
A: They range from well- to lesser-known firms. Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Chicago hedge fund Citadel Investment Group LLC have high-frequency operations. An innovator in superfast trading strategies is hedge-fund firm Renaissance Technologies LLC.
Privately held Getco LLC, a Chicago high-frequency firm founded in 1999, is a registered market maker with operations in markets around the world. Other high-frequency outfits include firms such as Jane Street Capital LLC, Hudson River Trading LLC, Wolverine Trading LLC and Jump Trading LLC.
Q: Why is everyone talking about high-frequency trading?
A: In the trading community, high-frequency has drawn interest because it was a wildly successful strategy last year. More recently, it made headlines when a former Goldman Sachs employee was charged by federal prosecutors with stealing trade secrets from the firm's high-frequency platform.
Also grabbing attention are the volume numbers. High-frequency trading now accounts for more than half of all stock-trading volume in the U.S. It also generates more revenue for exchanges. NYSE Euronext, owner of the New York Stock Exchange, is building a data center to cater to high-speed traders.
Q: What are "flash orders," and what is the controversy surrounding them?
A: Typically on trades, exchanges pay rebates to traders who post shares to buy or sell and charge fees to traders who respond to those offers. This setup creates an incentive to earn rebates. That is one place where flash orders come in.
With a flash order, a trading firm can keep its order on a certain exchange for up to half a second without matching an existing buy or sell order on another exchange, a move that puts it in a position of poster, rather than responder. The hope is that another trader who needs to buy or sell quickly steps in on the other side of the trade. This dynamic boosts the chance the flash-order trader will complete the trade on the exchange and get the rebate. Exchanges offer flash orders to keep market share.
Regulators worry that certain unscrupulous participants in the market with ultrafast computer technology could game these orders, trading ahead of them and affecting the price of the security.
Q: Who will be hurt if flash orders are banned?
A: A ban on flash orders, under consideration by the Securities and Exchange Commission, could hurt the profits of high-frequency traders who use flash extensively. Some flash-order advocates said a ban could cause trading volume to drop on the exchanges as traders look for better execution in alternative, less-transparent venues.
Q: What is "naked access," and why the controversy around it?
A: Many brokers allow high-frequency outfits to trade directly on an exchange using a broker's computer-access code. Most brokers closely monitor the activity, but some allow the traders to interact with the exchange largely unchecked, according to regulators such as the SEC. In the industry, this is known as "naked access." Critics worry that a rogue firm's system could destabilize parts of the market, even leading to a broad-based market selloff, without proper oversight and risk controls.
Q: How does it impact mom-and-pop investors?
A: Proponents said high-frequency provides a constant, ever-ready flow of securities when investors need them, making trading cheaper for everyone. When a mutual fund wants to buy 10,000 shares of Google Inc., odds are a high-frequency shop will be ready to provide the shares.
Critics worry that traders could use quick-draw capabilities to drive up prices, selling them back to investors at an inflated level. Another concern are rebates that exchanges pay to high-frequency traders, as the costs could be passed on to investors.
Q: Am I a high-frequency trader without realizing it?
A: Most online brokers that cater to individual investors and nearly all full-service brokers have servers at the stock-trading platforms to cut buying and selling speed down to milliseconds. This ensures orders are disposed of quickly and efficiently at high speeds. However, brokers generally don't use the highly sophisticated strategies plied by dedicated high-frequency traders, such as trading off of obscure signals in the market.

Ex-Dividend Dates:
When Are You Entitled to Stock and Cash Dividends
Ex-Dividend Dates:
When Are You Entitled to Stock and Cash Dividends
Have you ever bought a stock only to find out later that you were not entitled to the next cash or stock dividend paid by the company? To determine whether you should get cash and most stock dividends, you need to look at two important dates. They are the "record date" or "date of record" and the "ex-dividend date" or "ex-date."
When a company declares a dividend, it sets a record date when you must be on the company's books as a shareholder to receive the dividend. Companies also use this date to determine who is sent proxy statements, financial reports, and other information.
Once the company sets the record date, the stock exchanges or the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. fix the ex-dividend date. The ex-dividend date is normally set for stocks two business days before the record date. If you purchase a stock on its ex-dividend date or after, you will not receive the next dividend payment. Instead, the seller gets the dividend. If you purchase before the ex-dividend date, you get the dividend.
Here is an example:
Declaration Date Ex-Dividend Date Record Date Payable Date
7/27/2004 8/6/2004 8/10/2004 9/10/2004
On July 27, 2004, Company XYZ declares a dividend payable on September 10, 2004 to its shareholders. XYZ also announces that shareholders of record on the company's books on or before August 10, 2004 are entitled to the dividend. The stock would then go ex-dividend two business days before the record date.
In this example, the record date falls on a Tuesday. Excluding weekends and holidays, the ex-dividend is set two business days before the record date or the opening of the market – in this case on the preceding Friday. This means anyone who bought the stock on Friday or after would not get the dividend. At the same time, those who purchase before the ex-dividend date receive the dividend.
With a significant dividend, the price of a stock may move up by the dollar amount of the dividend as the ex-dividend date approaches and then fall by that amount after the ex-dividend date. A stock that has gone ex-dividend is marked with an "x" in newspapers on that day.
Sometimes a company pays a dividend in the form of stock rather than cash. The stock dividend may be additional shares in the company or in a subsidiary being spun off. The procedures for stock dividends may be different from cash dividends. The ex-dividend date is set the first business day after the stock dividend is paid (and is also after the record date).
If you sell your stock before the ex-dividend date, you also are selling away your right to the stock dividend. Your sale includes an obligation to deliver any shares acquired as a result of the dividend to the buyer of your shares, since the seller will receive an I.O.U. or "due bill" from his or her broker for the additional shares. Thus, it is important to remember that the day you can sell your shares without being obligated to deliver the additional shares is not the first business day after the record date, but usually is the first business day after the stock dividend is paid.
If you have questions about specific dividends, you should consult with your financial advisor. You can also get information by going to your library and reading Standard and Poor's Dividend Record Binder.

Your synopsis would only make sense if Tony WANTED to totally kill ENTI.
This is not the case. Tony has BIG plans for the future of ENTI.
Great post Dev.
This is 2011. The way of doing business today is way different than it was ten years ago.
