re: "...until it's officially stated as far as I'm concerned he's said nothing..."
funny you should say that, because that is exactly what i have been stating all along...that the only "official" share structure notification is dated as of sept 30...now a full five months and 10's of B's of shares traded ago
BKMP?
oink, oink...weeeeeeeeeee
Mike Allotti, let what "sink in"?...
i was speaking of this company and statements reportedly made by its pres
and you post in bold text a snipit about trajectory?
['though it sure do look purttie]
---------------------
there are literally hundreds of examples, but lets just take one:
cybertel over the years has PR'd "agreements" with many prestigious names [microsoft, etc]
meanwhile 10's of B's of shares were dumped, and they went through a 1 for 500, plus a 1 for 1000 RS
did their PR'd "association" with microsoft, et. al. make them more credible/honorable?

Stock guru raises share prices and some concerns
By Michael Flaherty
Fri Mar 3
NEW YORK (Reuters) - He rants, raves, throws chairs, tosses pencils, slurps water -- and the wild host of the U.S. television hit "Mad Money" moves stock prices, too.
Jim Cramer's show, which airs three times a night during the week on the CNBC network, has drawn a loyal following since it began nearly a year ago, with viewers lured by the broker-turned-commentator's pledge to make them rich with his stock picks.
His manic enthusiasm entertains viewers, and his recommendations spark frenzies that have moved so many stocks that "the Cramer effect" is a phrase now widely used on Wall Street. In one case, buyers piled into shares of NMT Medical Inc., which shot up 30 percent after a Cramer tip.
But buyers beware.
Jumping into stocks on the blessing of a market guru is dangerous for the individual investor, experts warn. Thinly traded small-capitalization stocks, which Cramer has routinely sent flying, are especially perilous.
While these picks may be tempting, they can just as easily send someone into poverty as into a higher income bracket, market veterans say.
In fact, the power of the Cramer effect has surprised even the disheveled host himself. In a comparatively subdued interview with Reuters, the former Goldman Sachs broker and self-described "Street addict" said he has become more careful with his recommendations.
"What I think I had to realize when I first saw it was I better caveat things," said Cramer, 51, founder of TheStreet.com, a business news Web site where he writes market commentaries. He is also a columnist for New York magazine.
Cramer warns his audience about the risks of investing, but people still can't resist a stock tip.
Indeed, his fan base is growing. To date, in the first quarter beginning December 26, the "Mad Money" audience hit 463,000 a day, up 16 percent from the previous three months, according to CNBC, and far above viewership achieved by the show's predecessor.
RISKY BUSINESS
When Cramer speaks, his viewers react, which concerns some experts.
"People making investment decisions based on nothing more than his say-so probably shouldn't be in the market," said Steven Thel, former general counsel for the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and a law professor at Fordham University.
"There are real doubts about whether the small (investor) ought to be making his money by making his investments in certain stocks," Thel added.
Greg Goldstein, president of Long Island-based broker-dealer Marquee Investment Capital, agreed.
"All of sudden, if they don't sell fast enough, once the buying stops, they're dead," Goldstein said. "People have to be careful. If you can afford to lose money, there's nothing wrong with it. But a lot of people don't want to do their homework."
Cramer implores listeners to do just that, and makes a point to say that it's not him, but people reacting to his tips who push stocks higher. Nevertheless, the Cramer effect is immediate.
On Thursday, shares of Rite Aid Corp., the No. 3 U.S. drugstore chain, rose more than 5 percent after Cramer recommended the stock.
His blessing also has prompted jumps of 30 percent for medical technology company NMT, 10 percent each for biotechnology company ZymoGenetics Inc. and footwear designer Deckers Outdoor Corp., and 23 percent for semiconductor maker Conexant Systems Inc.. The list goes on.
The share-price pops are a testament to Cramer's reputation, but they also pose a potential problem, since some of these hot stocks have dropped as quickly as they rose.
Shares of Canadian drug company OccuLogix Inc. have fallen nearly 60 percent since his backing. Dick's Sporting Goods steadily dropped after his support, and XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. is down 26 percent.
RIDING THE WAVE
Cramer said the reaction to his picks has caused some introspection and some changes.
The moment of realization came shortly after the show launched, when he recommended technology firm CMGI, seeing it as a short-term bet.
"The trade was overwhelmed very quickly so what I realized was, I'd better do more than short-term trades," he said.
Cramer says he owns up to his bad picks. And so far, the gems he's chosen appear to have outpaced the dogs.
His pick-of-the week stocks are up on average 18.6 percent from last April through the end of January, according to TheStreet.com.
Day traders, or individual investors who quickly move in and out of stocks, are big fans of Cramer's show.
"The stock moves right when he starts moving his mouth," said Charles Vaccaro, president of New York day trading firm HLV Capital Inc. "We're playing off what we know is going to be a reaction."
Day traders have the experience to get in and out of stocks quickly -- something the average investor lacks.
Cramer is aware that his effect comes with a level of responsibility to the mom-and-pops watching his show.
"You begin to recognize that it's an awesome power," he said, "and you better get it right and you better not abuse it."

1/2 OT: re; "...on topic please..."...
huh?
its midnight EST...and on a weekend
i am confident that if one were to review posting histories they would find that most everyone posts occasional OT...and interestingly, some moderators even more so than the "little people"...and, sometimes within minutes of "...on topic please..."
--------------------
btw...about the TA/share thingy, and the conflicting "reports" of what winick may have told people
...how long have i been questioning those numbers?
i believe it was weeks ago i suggested 4.5-5B OS possible...
for the record, i would like to update that to 7.5-8 B OS
and as to what the retort may be by some longs of "...look at all the POS that are running which have more shares and 'less going for them'..."
actually i agree in part...that any POS has the potential for substantial runs
but at this juncture [or actually at any time], it goes to credibility...and if deception were to be discovered/confirmed, it really puts a dent into "long term" viability...and then the trading vehicle is simply dumped into the same pile of SOS

OT: Grape Juice Good for Aging Brain
...hey "mom"...hope you find this helpful:
--------------------
Grape Juice Good for Aging Brain
FRIDAY, March 3 (HealthDay News) -- Antioxidant-rich concord grape juice may help keep aging brains limber, a study with rats suggests.
The study -- partly funded by grape juice maker Welch Foods Inc. -- included mature rats nearing the end of their expected life spans. Researchers put the rodents through a series of tests designed to measure their short-term memory and neuro-motor skills.
"Concord grape juice appeared to enhance the cognitive and some motor skills in the test animals. In many of the tests we saw significant improvements or trends toward improvement," lead researcher James Joseph, chief of the neurosciences laboratory at the U.S. Department of Agriculture Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University, said in a prepared statement.
"As our population ages, we are continually looking for ways to maintain our mental and physical skills," Joseph noted.
"While these laboratory animal studies are certainly preliminary and much more work needs to be done, we know that consuming high levels of natural dietary antioxidants is a good thing from a number of perspectives. And it appears that drinking Concord grape juice has the potential to help retard the mental and physical declines of aging."
The findings appear in the March issue of the journal Nutrition.

imo jump on this "gem" if/when volume comes back
raised AS from 200M to 400M on 01/03/06

unlike so many others, '06 has not been kind to this "gem" [the old struthers...gag]
apparently, mo' shares is da problem
but imo could bust a move soon
re: APPI, been trending back up...
...past couple of days
...may close out the week strong [over 20M should do it]
looks fully capitalized [approx. 900M], so could be an overnight RS candidate

todays filing:

take note, and how this may apply to the MANY other BDC's:
"...a member of the SEC’s staff indicated that the SEC was in the process of scrutinizing all small BDCs and that they considered that with its limited capitalization, our company was not an appropriate candidate to be a BDC..."
[remember the big run by so many companies to form BDC's over the past couple of years?]
also take specific note of current share structure:
"...on March 3, 2006, we had...93,238,196 shares were outstanding..."
...big bounce coming off of recent 10 bagger "consolidation"?? [wagered a "couple" of bucks]...seems to have leveled off @ .004/.005
[but never forget we are dealing with tilton]
re: "...the same source says a share consolidation will becoming in the not too distant future..."
anything new regarding this supposed "share consolidation"/RS?
------------------------
after all, the source quoted was right about the imminent "pump", as we had a nice 100%+ pop off lows less than a week after the post
...will the share consolidation "prediction"/rumor be accurate as well?
------------------------
and cripes!....look at the potential for money being made on swings in just the past month

re: "...Pigs we tryed to move forever would go nowhere..."
just goes to show that most of the time all the pumping in the world wont make a difference with big runners...they move when they are deemed "ready"
imo jan/feb '06 will be remembered for the unprecedented number of HUGE runners [most of which also happen to have a history of being the most manipulated/abused]
my guess is that something big is brewing that is influencing these runs...something that jeopardizes their existence and many of these runs may be their "last hurrah"
is there some new legislation/SEC guidelines coming into effect in '06 that could have a major impact on these "gems"?

and i can assure you, MANY of the individuals that believe that post authentic, are the same ones that argue the merits of holding these "gems" long term

speaking of funny posts...
for those that do have history deeper than the long list of ever-changing/revolving new aliases [usually the same ones that insist on learning the hard way]
does anyone have a copy of perhaps the funniests post EVER...the one about "why dont any of my stocks go up"/"dinner and some whine"??
TIA if someone can dig that baby up
oink, oink...weeeeeeeee

riding a wave can be fun, but oh boy, when it crashes, it stings [eg: look at at the mon/tues runners today]

fyi: sold remaining position today...never kick a 10 bagger in the mouth, lol

...whether its winning state lotteries or pink/otc "lotteries", gaining the $ seems to be only part of the battle
eg: how much of the potential $100K windfall of an initial $1K in USXP was given back or squandered somewhere else?

re: "...I feel MUCH more confident having money invested in MSEP than in either of those "turds" you mentioned..."
perhaps that "strategy" is part of the "problem"?
having money "invested" in any of these "gems" rarely works out well longer term...and that is what "invested" means, isnt it?
now off these levels...off a trade?
well, thats a different story, and therego the USXP's, IVOC's, and CNES's of the world
but rattle off yet another one of your "famous" 10-20 paragraph monologues...ya never know...maybe that will be the catalyst needed
good luck
GOOOOOOOOOO MSEP ;)
how did we do today?
you can put lipstick on a pig...but can you make 'em fly?

re: "...VWKM will explode..revenues justify it..."
really?
what revenues would that be, pray tell?
have you EVER known an astrom company to EVER be "justified"?
this "gem" may have another pop, [and i do "love 'dem .0001's"], but this, as ALL astrom "gems" are certifiable...certifiably POS!
i_like_bb_stock, agreed, but since most of us cover our initial "investment" with an early partial sell, its no "loss"
greed and fear
its always been what drives the market...and will always remain so
good luck
i_like_bb_stock, i am sure those that turned $1K into $100K in 30 days care, lol
