Here are MSTF options for Quang Pham.

He has three years to act on those options before they expire 6/30/2012. The idea, of course, is for the stock price to exceed the strike price which gives them value. Let's say the stock price in three years is $1.75 per share. I've not done the math, but it looks like he would make around a million dollars. I wouldn't do to bad either. I don't know what taxes would be on 90 million dollars but I like the thought of it. Those of you who are thinking about flipping at .0003 or .0004 might give that some thought.

We need to see an insider SEC filing early next week to see if Mr. Moore or Mr. Walker were in fact buyers and how many shares were purchased. I would also like to see where these shares are coming from and what the purchase price was. To the best of my knowledge, there are only 5 billion a/s.
The way I read the news is that the company made a private offering to sell up to one million dollars in restricted stock. Keith Moore and/or David Walters, according to the filing, purchased $41,800 in MSTF stock leaving $958,200 to be purchased. It is only a guess, it looks like Mr. Moore and/or Mr. Walters purchased 209 million shares or more which leads me to believe something big is about to happen and insiders are buying large blocks of stock. Because the stock is restricted it cannot be sold on the open market until registered. It is interesting to note that we had a new market maker appear last week and acquired a large block of stock and is now gone. Please do not take this as fact, I am just trying to read between the lines. No doubt, something is going on.
What is the a/s and the o/s please?
I noticed that DOMS and NITE opened at .0119 then moved up. I take it that there were some who had orders in the system bought at those levels. At least that's my understanding of why the gap up from yesterdays closing. You agree?
What do you look for this morning on ATNO? Sell off or Gap up?
First trade date for FORT was August 3rd following name change. Seems this is all new. Here's the link. Info located about half way down.

You don't suppose someone would want the Executing Broker
Identifier FORT to be named after the investors business do you?
Janice, can you find out who this investor is? Is he from London or South Africa?
"We have an investor with a market capitalization of over 3 billion Sterling, or close to $5 billion," he said. "That will make our comfort level for the institutional clients that we're pursuing significantly higher than most boutiques on the Street. And all of those things link together in the ability to hire the best staff, because they want to go somewhere where they can do the business that they want to do."
"Ticonderoga Securities LLC visits the NYSE in celebration of building on a heritage of 30 years of value added, client focused services. In honor of the occasion, Chairman Joel Plasco and CEO Shawn McLoughlin ring The Closing Bell®."
It seems Joel Plasco is from London. I am going to keep digging and see if I can find any ties to Lumb. There is nothing in the securities title that has anything to do with FORT. I would like to know what other companies they make a market in, especially Lumbs companies, and if I can find a telephone number in the US for them.
Janice. FORT appears on FFGO level 2. Just noticed it today as a closed MM for the moment. It doesn't appear on any MM list I have.
I agree. Somethings up!! Could be all the .0001s are gone.
It seems that FORT appeared on FFGO yesterday and we had that huge volume on HGLC. Not sure exactly how they are connected but the next few days should tell us more.
I noticed there is a new market maker that could be connected to HGLC in the near future. The market makers name is FORT and has appeared on Level 2 under Fortress Financial. At this time it reads closed. Could this be Lumbs market maker and FORT is short for Fortress? And could this be the missing link for a run. It looks like Fortress is dealing in HGLC stock for not under .0005. The dots are coming together! If we see FORT as a MM for HGLC that would be very interesting indeed.
I noticed a new Marker Maker for Fortress. Anyone know who FORT is? Could this be Lumbs MM short for Fortress. I can't find any information.
What's your take on all the action today? If the volume had to do with new conversions, why didn't we drop to .0001 again? DOMS is not buying on the bid, perhaps he loaded up with all the volume.
Looks like Mr. Walters wife, Senator Mimi Walters, has something to say about jobs in California. "Right now we have an opportunity and a responsibility to change California, to make it the Golden State once again; by putting people back to work and saving the businesses that we need to rebuild our economy."

That is correct. .0001 - .0002
When do you think we hit .0003 on the ask?
I see we lost HDSN on the bid. Looks like a little shake going on.

A few weak hands are leaving every day. Those that sell at .0001 give the rest of us a chance to acquire shares really cheap. The twos will dry up in the next few days and we will gradually move higher until big news. I thought at first that I would buy up to 100 million, I have changed that to 499 million, just under the 10% reporting level. I don't think I can do that at the .0002 level unless most of those now holding strong decide to sell. I have been looking for thirty years for this kind of opportunity. I can own 10% of the company for only $100,000. Life is good.
I'll be happy to buy at .0003 or .0004 or .0005. I have millions of reasons to do so.
I'll be adding another 1,450,000 before the bell and a few more on Wednesday and Friday.
I agree with "something's coming." As I have said before, when DOMS moves off the high ASK it seems to mean shares are thin. I don't know how the MMs know, but they do. I also find it interesting that David Walters asked the question, "How did you find out about us?" It's almost as if somethings coming and he wants to know how you found out. IMO if we knew what was going on in the MSTF Board Room we would all high tail it to the bank and take out a loan. Life is good.
I think there are several of you watching level two and will buy at the first sign of being left out of a run. I also think there are several still trying to buy at .0001 if they can get them. It's hard to say how tight the spring is wound or when a run comes how high we will eventually go, I still think it is .06 to .08. It is interesting there are no MM with a large bid or ask. Usually DOMS sits there with 100,000 or more on the ask. It's like we are all waiting for the feature presentation. I believe we will see some 50 and 100 million buys when things heat up. If that happens then we will be looking at cheap 3's and 4's. Life is good.
Adding more tomorrow. 1,450,000. As long as we are at .0002 I will add every week. If we hold at this level until January, I will add another 50 million. As most here will find, we have a lot of runners waiting at the starting line for the gun to go off, then the race is on. I have a feeling we will back fill quickly with health care a hot topic and this stock will move up to true value of .06 to .08. I look for some wild billion share days ahead.
Growing companies need money. At least we have income to offset expenses. We are basically a new unknown company being put together by some high profile people. Some of us see this as the best time to buy. Enjoy the ride.
Today's action at least lets us know that ones are are not being bought and twos are holding tight. This stock was at .0001 on the ask for a long time. So in the bigger picture we are holding strong with a good group of board members. My ACH deposit will hit on Monday and I will buy more. Call this the quiet before the storm.
It took me several minutes for my 1475000 this morning. The pink train has a mind of its own. Many here want us to move fast, but a few of us who have large goals and good cash flows, are looking at 100 million or more and are enjoying this tremendous opportunity to accumulate every few days. Depending on movement, I'll add a few more tomorrow or Monday.
A great morning to you and other MSTFers. Looks like we have another day to accumulate a few more shares before the train leaves the station. There will be a lot of activity when a couple of MMs drop off and we are down to three or two on the ask. I think there is a large group just waiting for things to move just a little. I think I can...I think I can...
There have been no buys today at .0001, only sells. Unless you get caught up in some unusual trade that comes off from .0001 to .00019 you won't get any ones.
I don't know any way to figure MM action in this stock. We know 250 million will move it but we don't know any MM inventory levels or potential conversions that would offset buys. This stock has been in the basement for some time now and without knowing what action the company is contemplating or what their funding needs are, we are at the complete mercy of management. If we knew there was insider buying or a real pending merger or contracts linked to earnings we would have something to hang our hats on. Until then, all we can do is guess. Having said this, I am buying more based on MM changes such as bid/ask totals and DOMS action and what appears to be getting ready for a move up.
I've never seen DOMS drop off the ask and stay on the bid. This is some very different trading, especially since he has the highest bid. Strange indeed.
The last thirty minutes was interesting to say the least. Lesson #1: Market Makers can shake your 2's right out of your hands for .0001 #2: Take everything you read about buys etc. with a grain of salt #3: Stick to your convictions or someone else will own your stock and you will thank them for it and #4: Don't watch the market all day, it will drive you nuts!!!
Another addition of 2,425,000. Working on those 100 million shares. Life is good!
This stock will gain a lot of upward energy when we get some real numbers on income and actual outstanding shares verses a/s. Those that buy ahead of that information always take the biggest risk. If we get an announcement of MSTF becoming a reporting company with revenues growing, the big boys come out of the woodwork and there will be no stopping this stock. Until then we wait. The movement each day is positive. It's just a matter of time.
Now we are on the same page.
I'm showing 6 MM bid .0001 and 7 MM ask .0002 on Alpha Trade level 2
Are you talking about MSTF?
If everyone who has indicated they are adding in the morning does so, the two's won't last long. I'll be adding 2,950,000 myself. I believe the GTC orders Friday cleaned out many of the flippers and day traders. I think volume will be over 100 million or more in the first thirty minutes, then it will be, "Who wants the threes?" If we get announcements of another contract or two, then 4's and 5's. I think the float is smaller than we think, especially since many are like myself and holding for five or six cents.
