Well, looking at the FTD's sheet that wwplayer has, it's exactly what I thought.
You have the following columns:
Date Volume New FTD's % of FTD's Total FTD's FTD Change
From that, you have positive AND negative FTD's showing up meaning, yes, it did happen and yes, they were covered within a day or so. We know for fact that MM's WILL naked short ANY stock to continue making a market in a high volume situation.
By the end of wwplayer's file, there were only about 150k FTD's to speak of... IN MAY OF 2006!
Come on, Mastaflash. I know you're smarter than this.
I'm told that all wwplayer has is a bunch of FTD's in 06 - 07. Grand total was around 83 million back then.
Nothing there to say that the shares still aren't covered. IMO, probably due to high trading volume and MM's trying to make a market were short due to the high volume. My guess is that they are all covered by now (or by end of last year).
I still have not heard IF there is an entity that has been found to be a naked short seller of CSHD. Since, IMO, these are multiple MM's that were short, reasoning says that they have since covered.
No one has yet posted evidence that Rufus has a single share locked up in a trust.
Then don't post b.s. that makes you (and others) believe the stock is going to shoot up without backing it up with facts.
Picked up some May $85 calls on VFC: VFCEQ @ 1.2
IMO, a strong company and I bought the May calls because I expect this company to move back up significantly in the short term but wanted to buy some time. Hopefully, that RSI will round off Monday a bit towards the north. LOL!
FWIW, since last week, my broker has shown the PPS of BHUB to be .001 which is unusual. Before that, it showed 0. My broker is optionsxpress. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THAT MEANS EXCEPT I SUSPECT A FILING'S COMING SOON.
It's dangerous to ignore B.S. posted on a public message board. Especially in a financial sector.
Proof that it exists today or that FTD's happened a year ago?
Also, is Rufus aware of this proof? If so, why has he not named a defendent yet? If not, why would he rely on a shareholder to do the work for him?
What do you believe this means? The SEC claimed Rufus (the CEO at that time) from Sept. - Nov. of 2006 filed false filings and PR's.
Has Rufus done anything about the actual complaint against him? LOL! Is there any proof in that besides the E-mailing he's done with Alana requesting a settlement?
This is a longer hold (one week?)
85.00 (VFC) VFCEQ Last 1.25 Ask 1.35 May Calls
In the interest of keeping it in perspective...
You're talking 20 million dollars of this stock trading over 25 days assuming an average PPS of .002.
I know that in my flipping, I was responsible for a few million of that volume trading in and out. Kapone, himself, traded in and out with 30 - 50 million shares each way. Factor in a lot of other traders on this board and you have over a billion shares traded over and over again to = 10 billion shares of volume trading over 25 days. That does not mean there is an FTD position today. Not to say it didn't exist but there has been enough trading for that to be covered.
For the 20 million dollar figure... that would really be cut in half or so because the figure represents my 2000 buy from someone else's 2000 sell x 3 or 4 trades MULTIPLIED by how many people were trading and considering a profit/loss as your discreptancy.
Now, if the company comes out and names a naked short existing today with some proof, that's different. But you can't prove a NSS or FTD position due to extensive trading back and forth.
Looking for (IBM) .IBMDD $120 calls @ 1.3. I picked these up yesterday at 1.4 and sold at 1.7 EOD.
.VFCDP 1.25 -0.75 1.20 1.40 Vol. - 150 Open Int - 443 $80.00 Calls
Visa options are trading.
.LYHDI (LEH April $45 Calls) Looking at premarket, these should do well today, IMO. 2.2 was the last price EOD yesterday.
Wow. In .IBMDD at 1.4 and out at 1.7 in the last few minutes of trading.
Great picks from everyone today. Good luck for tomorrow!
Well, ya. Of course. In the hopes of becoming profitable or further growth. As they do this, the big players generally start thinking of shareholder value such as IBM or VFC by doing share buy backs.
Share buy backs help profitable companies by holding their shares in a company trust. And guess what that means? As the PPS goes up, so does the value of their trust. Guess where that shows up? Yup, in the assets section of their balance sheet thus bringing more value to shareholders.
All without eternal selling. Maybe Bighub will do this. But probably not.
In other words, pubic companies sell shares to fuel growth and value. But, they don't have to continuously sell shares to do this.
LOL! Again, snow during July in Florida will come first, IMO.
I'm just saying, don't bank on that. Prepare for what 99% of pinks do. That's diluting regardless of a R/M. I have shares in this as well.
Let's see what happens.
Because that's what pink companies do to make money. Now, if we were to see some audited revenue numbers posting a profit, that'd be different. But I believe we'd see snow at a July 4th party in Florida before that happens.
IMO, of course.
Fair enough!
2:30, on the dot. LOL!
They probably won't at first. They'll want to open this up in the green and probably not start diluting until POSITIVE momo is underway started from a PR blitz. They are well aware there are a lot of folks ready to dump and they will not want to have to compete with the initial sellers.
IMO, of course.
Got my .IBMDD on this last dip. IF IBM does what it usually does, it will regain a good portion of today's loss starting around 2:30. LOL! Sorry, that's just the pattern I've seen with it over the last few years.
Good luck!
Well crap. I put my bid in too low for IBMDD and missed the train ride on the correction.
No. All I know is that I held .BADP until this AM and got out at .65. I got in at .7 2 days ago.
You were right on but I wonder if this is more to do with IBM running for several days in a row? Or, combination of both.
LOL! IBM = My comfort zone.
Watching IBM $120 April Calls (.IBMDD) Down .75 so far today.
FWIW, my realestate index fund has been up all week starting last week. It's up over 10% from the last 12 months or so. Can't say it's an indicator for housing but it is finally doing something after a long lull. I've been bying it up waiting for a boost in realestate. Will continue to do so because I believe there's a lot to be made on realestate purchases made today.
Doesn't really matter to me one way or the other. I just know these POS stocks like to PR "planning a move to higher exchange" text with no intention of following through. A lot of folks buy on that and create momo. Thus, I'd sell.
The shares I own are free but even the free shares get old to look at after a year of no activity.
IMO, BHUB has been dormant long enough. LOL! Time for this to start trading on the Pink's again. If we're real lucky, if/when this is relisted, we get a PR suggesting it will move to the OTCBB.
Of course, I'd be selling on that news! LOL!
Thanks guys!
FWIW, when I started trading, I've always used optionsxpress. I started off with penny stocks and the commission was HIGH for the million share buys, etc. So I talked to their customer service and right then, they lowered my commission to any stock @ any amount of shares for 9.95 per trade. So I stayed with them. They've never restricted buying of a security either.
I'll first give them the chance to lower my options commissions before making a switch. Their customer service is really good.
Thanks again!
I use optionsxpress for my broker. Their site and tools, especially for options, is really easy to use. But they charge $15 in and $15 out on contracts up to 10. 20 contracts cost me $30 both ways. That seems high.
Any opinions on what a reasonable online commission should be for options trading?
IBM's been reacting independently to the others. They have a 15 Billion dollar stock buy back for this year announced a few weeks ago. It has been very strong.
I picked up the April $80.
IBM having a nice pull back today. Watch .IBMDD (April $120 calls). Down .70 right now. Should reverse, IMO.
I didn't. I only had the BSC and BA calls. Still sitting on the BA calls.
LOL! I love that saying. "Ringing the register."
You watching BSC (April 12.50 call).BVDDV? I'm afraid I rang the register too early with a measly 70% gain.
Something's going on with BSC. Check out the calls.

I wonder if another increase in offer is coming? Thoughts?
Yes sir!
3.15!
Interesting. Out of all it's holdings, only 2 went up after hours (not that AH's is a huge indicator but...):
MMM and CAT seem to be the only ones up for today. IMO, IBM is losing steam as well which is their largest holding. IBM has run from 113 - over 119 the last few days.
