why the heck people selling on the $1.60s ROTFLMAO
or is the laugh going to be on me? don't seem to think so.
Where did you see this news? Obviously something is up... but haven't found anything on it.
disclosure: in pretty big at avrge $1.15 :)
agreed. my target below .20 - hope for Longs, I'm wrong
yep got .283 for 15K shares... from .22 though so not near the gain you got.
didn't have the patience to see if it was going to break thru .30 when it slowed in the .29s
*thanks for the heads up on the technicals (whether they were going to come into play, or not).
Well it's doing ok today, huh
yep. that's me.. back in '97 Wolverine bowl up from Alta. Was at the 'bird for 8 years
living in the 3-valleys now. rode for a few hours today, it was nice.
Good sensible & realistic reading here guys.
I Like it! A pleasant change from a lot of the koolaide that we come accustomed to seeing on Ihub + others.
appreciate the basic technicals spelled out from those who have been working this position for a while
I'm in for a starter position and honestly not much more than a punt if/when it drops below .20 I'll pick targets for building up my stake probably to about what you got.

It's all about the next financials, eh. big gamble right here
Would be interesting to know the price point of these new 'clear' or sort of clear from what I saw Bio Degradable bags.
Price point has been the obstacle to market so far.
disclaimer:
I know a lot about the quality of the product coming out of Metabolix but very little where the price is going to go in the near term !! ;)
That was one big Pump.. from Jonathan Lebed + others - mainly short squeeze alerts.
I do have faith and believe in MBLX for the long run... but got out in the 1.70s
What we saw there was a massive Short Squeeze that is now over?
Sitting on the fence at the moment... undecided where the good entry really is. perhaps missed it in the high 1.30's today ???
I could miss the next run, but can't help feeling it was far too fast a rise with no fundamental change in Metabolix / No real PR etc. Nothing to justify $1.60 - $1.90 + except for Hope & Speculation at the moment. can't help feeling there's a better entry than 1.46
Having said that, A release of some great news on the business front FROM Metabolix will provide the next "real" and sustainable Catalyst.
IMO
MBLX Breaks out. More to Come
http://www.sbwire.com/press-releases/metabolix-inc-nasdaqmblx-breaks-out-friday-morning-403959.htm
Added more at 1.20 WOOHOO Go baby!
pretty decent synopsis of bad media
here you go starbux
http://www.buzzfeed.com/sapna/macys-caught-off-guard-by-seaworld-thanksgiving-protests
pretty much sums up the situ and goes into a full picture view.
*Interesting that SeaWorld have updated its risk factors in regulatory filings. No doubt bad numbers next year (if they materialize) will be blamed on this salacious documentary.
will be an interesting stock to watch over the next year.
GLTA
Blackfish backlash will take it's toll IMO
-Analysts covering SEAS didn't see it as an issue
-J.P. Morgan said "negligible, if any, impact on attendance"
-Goldman Sachs didn't mention it in Sept and Oct Notes about Seaworld nor in conference calls, though visits to the park have been falling.
PETA are a nasty organization at times, could see some serious attemtps to target SeaWorld Parks during peak season next Spring/Summer
Willy Nelson and other acts have pulled out of Bands, Brew & BBQ fest for 2014 in Orlando.
Maybe this will all blow over... but could become Toxic first.
Short squeeze on the Horizon.. or just the typical massive manipulation before the cover event??
There are only 400K shares available to short at the moment, but what in my opinion is a pretty darn large number of continued short positions on MBLX
Do you you think What we saw last week could have just been covering by weaker hands of this 4M Short interest..
my previous experience:
I've been in a few positions in the past with a massive short float and found that when big money / powerful players are behind the short. Well.. they seem to always Win in the end :(
perhaps this time will be different
Wanting to buy a stake but with the last two quarters showing a continual slide.. a tough call even at $2.25
I imagine fear of the possibility of another lacklustre quarter on the Horizon in the mix with push this down further
Corn Futures key indicator on price of BioPolymers
Main ingredient of BioPlymer Plastics is Corn.
It's worth noting that the past 3 years would have created a huge obstacle for MBLX on price point with regards to the core price of Corn. which directly effects the price to market of their Plastics.
I recall hearing a huge deal with major U.S. fast food chains fell apart when the price of Corn doubled 3 yrs ago. I believe this was a major factor in ADM parting way.
With corn dipping right now, could see MBLX ramping up production, getting more product to market at a more favorable price to venders etc. All resulting in significantly improved financial results.
'If' the US has another bumper Corn harvest in 2014... The World market continues to boycott GMT grown Corn and prices continue to drop - BioPolymer Plastics would have an absolute heyday, in my opinion.
And Worth Mentioning... all for the greater good of our Planet.
--News--
12/03/2013
-Corn fell in Chicago on speculation demand for U.S. exports will slow after China rejected two cargoes containing an unauthorized, genetically modified variety of the grain.

latest boost probably related to Mvera B5011 product release, Efforts by Senior management to attract market interest, i.e. the Micro Investors presentation and associated PR around it.
PR for Vanity, Bottom line for Sanity. eh.
-the proof will be in market reaction uptake and associate sales revenue
--
regardless, I have high hopes for MBLX in the long run. I believe it is the future and some incredibly bright and talented guys/gals are dedicating their lives to it at the moment within the company.
If it dips, I will just add to my stake as I haven't hit my target level yet.
GLTA
picked up more on the cheap today. IMO
With 5%/10% swings..day traders will take notice. will be popping up on alerts.
should be an interesting ride for longs
Forward thinking Marketing Statement??? anyone.
I keep thinking I want to buy a stake at this level, but can't find a good enough reason to.
Anyone want to shed some enthusiasm to this equation?
My guess- Micro Investor Conference behind latest interest levels.
Or at least more proactive efforts by Metabolix to market to and attract investors.
But then, I do agree Fridays activity was more indicative of bigger money than average.

The Best news in my Opinion would be an announcement of a new product to market.
if they can use.. What is arguably the best BioPolymer on the market to create a product the world wants & needs. Jeez the multiples would make this one of the best investments of the year for us.
They've got the tech, the intellectual property and the processing equipment to product viable products.
Thus far there wasn't enough update on the biodegradable packaging to drive forward this business... this is the problem
Awesome Result. MBLX getting some great attention. just the start.
Brazil hitting normal curve of hypo growth economy
did my Poli-Sci degree in Latin American Studies back in the late '80s.
Amazing place with tremendous opportunity, but economically and politically - it's a mine field with no real evidence of changing

Honestly Extremely impressed with MDMN PPS over last year or so
I say this sincerely.
based on the obvious current and tract record of facts I'm blown away every time I check this board out and find it hasn't dropped through the floor.
I could be completely wrong, but convinced this is going no-where short of suckering in 100's and even 1000's of gullible retail investors who have dreams of getting rich.
for the fact it holds so well year after year these days should give me hope.
but alas... I'm just too risk adverse until I hear something that can be verified. perhaps that's what happens when you qoute-unquote become rich. You protect it ;)
Good Luck to those of you with more conviction 7 confidence than I.
No harm in keeping score. Isn't that what DD, Tracking and Charting is all about?
What I think the gentleman was eluding to: Status of Portfolio could benefit well from inundating message boards that have an extraordinary high reading rate with what has sounded in the past as near 'inside', highly researched/intelligent or at least enlightened knowledge.
*This has been proven across a vast amount of different stocks both from a Long and Short perspective, since the advent of Message Boards, Seeking Alpha, Ihub etc No?
Rick is clearly portraying a Long position, Krakatoa a Short.
how much they trade back and forth, only they know.
but for the rest of us, all we can do is read, digest and Decipher and keep score.
thought I saw one a week or two ago here?
just seemed very strange to go from 2Mil volume one day to nil points the next.
oh well, I have my fingers crossed for you diehards that something materializes here.
I was in a position for far too long where we sat there in hope only to have the rug pulled out on us. don't wish that on any honest investor
good luck to you
trading halt? before an announcement that takes it to $2-$3
obviously just one possible explanation for the trading going on today vs. let's say yesterday.
anyone tried to buy today as a test?
wow.. did not expect -10% close. The Bump earlier in the week I thought was something in the works.
Does anyone know about this??
Reminds me of a hiring philosophy I used to follow.
You can work with people you don't like, but Trust.
You can't work with people you like but don't Trust.
to be honest - from what I've read over the past couple years - I don't like these guys and they've shown no indication you can trust them either.
what's the next (potential) catalyst here...?
Nope.. I'm here lurking in the background. Just nothing to report and not convinced where's its going in the short term.
personally believe it's a strong prospect in the medium to long term though
Until news of a new product, interest on a previous product/IP or most importantly investment money for a production facility materializes... unfortunately this will slip into the realms of 'de-list risk' to pinks.
Some incredibly smart and honest people running this company. So Fingers Crossed.
I'm going to do some digging to see if I can get some word from the ground.
Getinin's post should be a sticky. It would do a service to any who happen across this board to see this balanced view that to be honest it seems 80%+ of the people here buy into.
Instead of some silly video frame grab with "THERE'S over 6 $$Billion$$ worth of Gold in that Mountain." LOL
JMO
"I wouldn't believe it, because just about any shred of information on this "company" has been either completely false, or eventually proven false.
I wish I could look some of those here in the eye when you pass along some of this "information". Its a complete sham.
MDMN is going nowhere."
FCSC? I only see feces..
What was someone saying when it was £6.00?
$100 here come!! or something utterly ridiculous like that.
Where does all the optimism come from?
Just get the impression that it's blind hope after sticking funds into a very risky bet?
-
So I've been watching this for probably 3+ years since I was given the heads up by an equipment supplier to this industry who then warned me against going near it a few months later. Obviously this really got my interest going!? and I've been lurking since ;)
then I remember seeing the research on how the main guy behind Ibio spun what I remember as a vitamin re-sell/wholesale type brand/business into some leap-of faith ( at least on paper ) move to growing plants in GMT for drugs manufacture.
then there was the exodus of a couple staff members who by all accounts should have had the most inside knowledge on the grand future of ibio.
then there is the obvious lack of ability to hit basic listing requirements.
Red Flags!? or am I just being too negative and going to miss out on the next 10-bagger.
What have I missed????
Short of any news on product development, new viable products, investment, or outside interest in existing IP... Can't see any reason this will hold. On the other hand if any of the above become PR... It will surge above 2
Share price rise defies logic..... At least in my mind it's a baffling reality.
But hey ho... I'm not short and I certainly would be nervousness as hell to go long.....
So barring a vested interest, I wish the best for any incredibly committed and die hard longs!!!?????
Good luck to you and hope to see this a ten bagger for you and a missed opportunity for me!!!
All logical arguments point to the other direction tho... Just saying
Jeez. I read all these extremely positive and optimistic posts and can't imagine I'm looking at the same POS that I when long on pre approval.
Hoping for the best, obviously... But I thought the cost of this at retail pretty much wrote it off as a high flyer off the shelf.
Has that argument changed in the last year+?
What's the revelation and argument for doubling down ????
Thanks jetpilot. This is only the 2nd OTC stock I've ever tracked.
but thanks for simple explanation. Got it!
