bah tried to get filled at 88, 93, finally in at 99.. looking at 1.20-30 for the exit today =) always ride some freebies too AMR is explosive and chasing is not fun I missed out on ~20% gains
I wish I could understand why American Airlines is valued so low, its not like they are running a poor business model. Expectations for companies are way to high now a days.. like I said before the AMR name alone is worth more than a dollar EASY.
Playing this on the bumps and its great.. hopefully the party doesn't get crashed
Comeon who else thinks she can tap 1.20 before the bell?
They keep putting the ask below 1.00 with small 200-300 dollar trades lol they working real fast at it too
LOL they are working OVERTIME to keep this from running its isane on the L2
Reup at .99? I got out at 1.19
Somebody tell me why anyone would try to bash AMR under $1.00 the name alone is worth more than a $1.00 for the common shares!!
some people here must be really lit up because this is has to be the best play under a buck out there.. especially with this news!! I am so glad I bought in today!
shoulda got in last week but I hesitated. This is American Airlines folks.. they are not going anywhere. HUGE potential hear in the long term btw
Same story *every* single time. I anticipated this and sold my position yesterday around .008 for a loss.. hopefully it comes back down to .004-5 so I can re-up, just being honest!
This is a good long term play, but its a better flip stock.. I lost money buying in when it was over .01!!!
Christmas is coming up and I don't want to see people get burned like I did (unless this thing breaks .01 this week).
btw did anyone see that Trade Architect from TDA shows a research for MMTC and it lists its opinion as "SELL". You can read it another way however, since its dated from 2010.. maybe they want people to sell their shares so they can move it up.
all imo just random thoughts for my 1 post a day.
GLTA seriously, I hope it works out... if not I will be back in when it taps the .005's
looking at the L2 on MMTC and I find it funny that there is even MMs. Seriously, why arn't these transactions handled by a computer? Seems clear to me that allowing someone else to handle your transaction is inviting this kind of game.
Oh well, it does look like they are going to let it go up though.
The real story behind MMTC, is that they have a much more lucrative opportunity in their arsenal.
From the 10k:
The feasibility of the technology had already been confirmed, although never commercialized in this area of application, during a study by Wyatt for the U. S. Army through a Small Business Innovative Research program conducted in the 1980’s. We believe that the technology for this application may well represent a major opportunity on a worldwide basis for future growth of consumer market products and the currently available instrumentation and methods being developed by us appear to provide a more immediate path to developing the technology for this concept.
Our initial proof-of-principal testing in 1998 demonstrated the ability, in a laboratory setting, to detect and monitor parasites, primarily Cryptosporidium and Giardia 1 in drinking water sources and the pathogenic microbes E. coli, Listeria and Salmonella.
Potential customers for a water monitoring system would include local water utilities, both private and municipal; state water utilities and water quality and health agencies; federal government agencies such as EPA, DoD, DoE, CDC; wastewater treatment plants; ground water and well users; and potentially, as the cost of the sensors and system decreases, homeowners.
If you can't value that at over a $1.00 a share there is something wrong. I see BOGUS companies get twice that on NOTHING..no patent, no idea, no vision, no anything... NOTHING and valued higher than MMTC right now.
Sorry I have been limited to 1 Post a day for attacking JaneyH, I suggest no one else go after him on these boards. Please just ignore the bashers because you will end up like me.. play by Ihubs rules
Disclaimer: This post is not intended to be viewed as an attack on any I-Hub member.
all imo
Do your DD.
Head and shoulders shampoo anybody? Chart looks great! MMTC is poised lets do eet
From what I see in the 10k we should all agree that MMTC management keeps its ducks in a row.
dude im in the same boat as you holding a measly amount of shares and trying to make sense of whats been going on here (not to mention the fins suck this year). I keep telling myself this is a buying opportunity though, but since ive been hammered on a few stocks before landing here I don't know whether its worth going "all in" on MMTC..
in retrospect, if I would have averaged down into the .003's the few times its been down there I could have easily recouped my losses so.. I think I am going to push in with what little funds I can scrounge up because this thing has at least held its current ground for over a month on no news and no volume. We could easily be at .0001 with all the "doom and gloom" but were not.
just a random imo
ive heard a few people close to the industry mention that MMTC is going to be bought out/merged with a few other companies.. wont mention any names etc.. but its all speculative and imo, looks like big players are going to come in so watch for volume spikes soon.
all imo, do your own DD..
It is sad that good stocks like MMTC are forced to pay for promos to move the price.. all OTC stocks only garner attention during promos.. hopefully Brennan is getting things ready for an uplisting =)
imo
If I had funds I would by 300k worth of shares right now.. this is all it takes to get us into some serious territory again.
MMTC LONG
If you want info on the MIT 1000 a good read is here:
http://ddr.nal.usda.gov/dspace/bitstream/10113/41910/1/IND44365309.pdf
It contains the results of the MIT lab and USDA lab tests
IMO after the 10q we are going to see good news that has to be why they extended the meeting.. because of the quiet period or rather because since their is shorty attention on the stock they know they will be reported for breaking the quiet period rules before submitting the 10q. I would hope for some contract news for 2012 orders..
this is all imo, but think about it.. 2012 "Doomsday" paranoia is going to be feeding this soon ( $MMTC ). The fear of mass disease will be rampant.. and fueled by the media for attention. At 40k a piece the MIT1000 can easily be the centerpiece of many large businesses wishing to ease the public fear.
it sucks when you think about it, it would take a serious tragedy but this stock would go up to a $1.00 or more on such misfortunes.. HOPEFULLY that is not the case as I rather take a loss than know that I am profiting while people are dying..
maybe I would give away the MIT1000's for free with my earnings.. who knows
ALL IMO do your own DD before investing YOUR money.

I see the same faces are here, and they are still up to playing down the potential for MMTC. They wan't you to look at the short term and play it out as disappointment. I said it once before, this is a nice growth stock..buy it set it and forget it. Add the cheapies and eventually patience WILL pay off.
Every vegetable has its time. - Russian Proverb
Regardless of what they want those extra AS for, the company still needs volume -which can only come from renewed interest through some form of PR.
IMO w/o higher volume the number of AS is irrelevant... and more volume cannot be achieved without renewed interest in MMTC.
Lets do this
Sideways is always good =)
357500 for the sharecount btw
Some observations about the MIT 1000:
-Anyone else notice that the price of the unit makes it affordable for almost all businesses to prevent recalls that cost way more than 40 grand in most cases.
-The price also makes it easier to replace the unit after a few years instead of a company making a larger investment on methods that can be outdated in years or even months.
-3.5 Billion dollars is a lowball number for the food industry (think of all these organic farm small startups for instance).. if this equipment is distributed worldwide it has a potential value way higher than 3.5 Billion imo
btw sorry I have been gone for a couple days, been watching the rollercoaster with the SP, IMO what we are seeing is people taking the opportunity to make some easy cash on a Stock you that is good for flipping because of its low potential for failure.
MMTC, be quicker than the MM's short term
MMTC, be patient for the long term
going off on a drunk rage on the MMTC board and calling out a few of the bashers by name
Welcome to the can bro, yeah MMTC is looking better I have been meaning to post about the fact people havn't even considered the Food service applications and especially small business Organic farms who can afford this kind of equipment to avoid more costly recalls.
Hey Dan,
I know why I am here, I apologize because I was angry and inebriated. Please excuse any posts that overtly violated the TOU. I will ensure that my conduct on the forums is becoming of someone civilized and clearheaded.
Sincerely,
M Perez
LOL I was pretty lit when I checked out your link and began reading the posts from 2010 as if they were recent. Mostly the stuff from Kgem and other longs, pretty interesting stuff though -especially when you consider the events going on right now.
Only real question I got for people who have been here a year is why we are still in the pinksheets?
Dude pray Sykes isn't getting his followers on this. He has the hookups to short any stock and I have seen his handy work during the Lithium frenzy.
Hopefully he will wait until the PR before he jumps on this since he knows what a MOMO squeeze feels like, but if he wants this thing down he has enough peeps and resources to bring it down to .002..
If you suspect Dilution, I would call investor relations directly and ask them to tell you the share count and/or if they are diluting.
They can't really lie to you in the face and get away with it (I think its illegal? Especially if you document it correctly!).
That being said, I am almost sure its not dilution but rather MM loading shares to sell into the MOMO (upwards or downward).
Its pretty straightforward that is what they are doing.. nobody buys that many shares in one buy because it wouldn't raise the SP as dramatically as spreading that amount of cash over a series of trades.
That doesn't mean dilution, just means MM took it down for another load so they can resell at a higher price given the MOMO this stock is maintaining.
There is either a lot of BSing going on around here (duh) or a whole bunch of noobs. Sell if there is MOMO downward and then rebuy for the MOMO back up (unless the company itself is total BS, in which case you haven't done your DD)
Be faster than the MM's to make money simple as that
p.s.
Screw people who short btw, when our economy goes to the crapper it will be their fault cus they are the fear brigade.
BTW there are alot of people here both pumpers and bashers who know better and should be keeping it real with folks..your making the investment community as a whole look bad and pretty soon you won't have anyone to sucker.. they arn't born every minute anymore
Interesting read
"any market makers, banks, and hedge funds – mainly big players with deep pockets – are known to fade breakouts, which are traded by many retail traders. Their game plan is to make money from the majority of the crowd who thinks that the price will rally merrily after an upside breakout or decline dangerously after a downside breakout. Since market makers are the pricing counterparties to their retail customers, they have to take the opposite end of your trade, whether you like it or not.
First of all, let’s see things from their point of view. For example, if there is an expected crowd demand to buy at a certain price above a resistance level, these firms know that they will have to sell to their customers, so how will they position themselves in an advantageous position? What they routinely do is that they reach into their pockets, spend a bit of money buying up the currency pair to the level where stop entry (and stop-loss) orders have been placed by their customers, so that they can now sell to those people who are desperate to buy, thus making some decent profits from this trick.
The next stage of this trick comes when customers’ stop (both entry and exit) orders are triggered and the retail crowd goes long. This gives the market makers and other big players a chance to close the previous longs they entered by selling to the crowd. However, the big players know they can make money in both directions, so now they begin shorting to overwhelm the buying pressure from the crowd, thus pushing the currency prices down, back below the breakout level, where many stop-loss orders have been placed by the buyers who trade the upside breakout.
These stop-loss orders then become executed, and the big players can gleefully offload all or some of their shorts by buying from those who are selling to close their losing breakout trades "
This is the story behind the false breakout – beautiful in the eyes of big institutional players; hideous and greatly undesirable in the eyes of the crowd. Hedge funds, with their immense capital, can play these tricks on the unsuspecting crowd as well, even though they trade only for themselves.
Market makers have the information of where their customers’ orders are from their order book. Even if these big players have good intentions, they could still potentially trade against you so as to cover imbalanced trades or to supply liquidity to the market. Of course, trading to maximise profits of their internal accounts cannot be ruled out. A potential conflict of interest can thus exist, and retail traders must know that in order to know how to protect themselves. After all, market makers exist to give profit to their share-holders, not to their customers.
When big players go on a stop hunting spree, false breakouts are likely to be the consequence of that. The crowd may think that the false breakout is due to the sudden turning of the market, but it is most likely the direct result of the games that big players play. Taking out stops placed by the crowd at predictable levels serve their monetary interests. Retail traders must know what these big players are doing or are thinking of doing in order to join in their game of scooping up money from the majority of the crowd.
False breakouts also arise when market makers execute stops before the interbank market has reached those prices or execute stops that lie just outside the actual trading area. Sometimes you may see that prices have pierced slightly through the breakout level in intraday charts, or even longer-term charts like the daily charts, and then make a quick U-turn back into the pre-breakout price zone.
Lack of fresh blood
False breakouts do not just happen because of the tricks institutional players use; they could also be the result of the market running out of steam to reach higher highs or lower lows in a sustained price break. This situation occurs when there are not enough fresh buyers to sustain an upward price move or fresh sellers to sustain a downward price move. The lack of new blood into an already very long or short market often heralds an unexpected turn of the market as the market move becomes attenuated."
Just to keep it real, those big buys could just be MM's filling their coffers for the next trading day. I mean someone could be slanging around 92k but if they were they wouldn't do it in one block. Why?
because its smarter to pay the commissions to walk the SP up with those 92 grand.
IMO Market Makers see the momo and are loading up on shares to sell tomorrow.. they are Market Makers after all it is their job to do just that.
If it is one buyer buying 92k at once well.. I don't think its a savvy investor but rather just someone tossing 92k at something that has potential.
Just keeping it real.. btw im down 50% before someone tries to say something about my cred on this
Don't think anybody could keep up with the EOD L2 on this thing. The buys/sells go through and the price is adjusted.
Just set it and forget it.. I got my sell order up at what I think MMTC is worth. I am pretty sure they will have some pretty solid news, if not "oh well".. panicking never solves anything.
Fear pushers will get whats coming to them soon.
Just IMO.. what if awesome news came out right now? what then.. ?
Calling out the obvious shorts again:
Ballbag
Goodstok
MNYC
Street Soldier
Suspect
all want this to fail so I would assume all have either a short position or are trying to get in real cheap. I doubt the second since it would jeapordize the stock's MOMO. In the end all they did was ruin the ability for ALOT of people to make money so that they can either make money themselves the opposite way (off peoples misfortune) or a good laugh.
Woe is you
Me and others might lose money here today, but in the end Karma is a mofo and a few people here will have to face it:
Street Soldier
Nextgen
Ballbag
Bankshot
Suspect
Goodstok
MNYC
Etc..
It may be today, tomorrow, next month, or even years from now.. but you will get a dose of your own medicine.
Take that prediction to the bank, thats not IMO thats 100% FACT
GL to all MMTC players today longs, shorts, and day traders alike. I wish everyone success in their investment. Lets keep the fear mongering to a minimum today.
E. coli Outbreak
Prompts Ground Beef Recall
The USDA has announced a national ground beef recall
on more than 60,000 pounds of ground beef due to
"high health risk" from E. coli. At least three major grocery chains are affected:
Publix Super Markets, Winn-Dixie Stores, and Kroger.
