If somebody sells, that means somebody else is buying...DUH!!!
lmao at both of you.
Take a look around. There is a crisis. If H3 opened 5 stores tomorrow, the stock still might not move.
Big companies with piles o cash on hand are trading below book. Penny market is dead right now, has been for a while.
Smart money is trading big boards like the penny's of old.
Its a mess out there. Continually crying here doesnt accomplish anything. Unless it just helps make you feel better.
Shaking my head...
"One in a million" is the best all time GNR tune!
gonna listen to it right now...
Alot of trash talking going on when a guy aint here to defend himself! lmao
ben zona!
Just got back from Denver yesterday. Friggin Corona's for $2 and pitchers of beer for $6
And Americans say they are in a recession?
A Canadian could stay drunk for a long time with prices like that! Of course $200 American out of the bank machine gets converted to $260 from my Canadian bank account!
Chitty for me for vacations but great for Business!
Working too much, just dabbling in trades...even in a drunken stuper my timing has been impeccable.
Only 4 buys in the last 60 days in the market...all were on the open or premarket on two days the DOW was up over 800. Fluke or mad skills?
Life is good.
Just my opinion...
Happy Birthday Popeye!
May all your silver turn to gold!
Yeah, those 2.50s went off After Hours.

Thanks, got lucky randomly picking those two yesterday after sitting on the sidelines for so long...

no, couldnt pull the trigger quick enough, I flipped to another screen to look for news, and she dropped as fast as she went up. Still big chunks going thru AH at 2.50...
Still holding both NCC and SFI despite my original plan to sell this morning.
WOW, was anybody watching SFI!

Happy Thanksgiving!
I jumped into some NCC at 2.14 and grabbed a nice chunk of SFI at 1.16 this morning!
A very nice day, will probably unload both on the open tomorrow.
Yeah, but...
"Canada Rated World's Soundest Bank System: Survey."
Canada has the world's soundest banking system, closely followed by Sweden, Luxembourg and Australia, a survey by the World Economic Forum has found as financial crisis and bank failures shake world markets.
But Britain, which once ranked in the top five, has slipped to 44th place behind El Salvador and Peru, after a 50 billion pound ($86.5 billion) pledge this week by the government to bolster bank balance sheets.
The United States, where some of Wall Street's biggest financial names have collapsed in recent weeks, rated only 40, just behind Germany at 39, and smaller states such as Barbados, Estonia and even Namibia, in southern Africa.
The United States was on Thursday considering buying a slice of debt-laden banks to inject trust back into lending between financial institutions now too wary of one another to lend.
The World Economic Forum's Global Competitiveness Report based its findings on opinions of executives, and handed banks a score between 1.0 (insolvent and possibly requiring a government bailout) and 7.0 (healthy, with sound balance sheets).
Canadian banks received 6.8, just ahead of Sweden (6.7), Luxembourg (6.7), Australia (6.7) and Denmark (6.7).
UK banks collectively scored 6.0, narrowly behind the United States, Germany and Botswana, all with 6.1. France, in 19th place, scored 6.5 for soundness, while Switzerland's banking system scored the same in 16th place, as did Singapore (13th).
The ranking index was released as central banks in Europe, the United States, China, Canada, Sweden and Switzerland slashed interest rates in a bid to end to panic selling on markets and restore trust in the shaken banking system.
The Netherlands (6.7), Belgium (6.6), New Zealand (6.6), Malta (6.6) rounded out the WEF's banking top 10 with Ireland, whose government unilaterally pledged last week to guarantee personal and corporate deposits at its six major banks.
Also scoring well were Chile (6.5, 18th) and Spain, South Africa, Norway, Hong Kong and Finland all ending up in the top 20.
At the bottom of the list was Algeria in 134th place, with its banks scoring 3.9 to be just below Libya (4.0), Lesotho (4.1), the Kyrgyz Republic (4.1) and both Argentina and East Timor (4.2).

World stocks fall sharply again
Friday October 10, 8:08 am ET
By Pan Pylas, Associated Press Business Writer
World stocks slump again as fear pushes interbank lending rates higher; Dow futures point down
LONDON (AP) -- European stock markets slumped further on Friday following massive losses on Wall Street and Asia on mounting fears that this week's efforts by central banks and governments to break the logjam in credit markets have failed to ease lending rates between banks.
At midday London time, the FTSE 100 index of leading British shares was down 328.03, or 7.6 percent, at 3,985.77, below the 4,000 mark earlier for the first time in five years. Germany's DAX was 399.92, or 8.2 percent, at 4,487.08, and France's CAC-40 was 254.03, or 7.4 percent lower at 3,188.67.
Trading has been suspended for various times in Austria, Russia, Iceland, Romania and Ukraine while Milan suspended share dealings in nearly half of its stocks because of excessive losses.
Despite the coordinated interest rate reductions announced on Wednesday, and massive liquidity boosts, the rates banks lend to each other continue to rise. This is ominous because it means banks are afraid to lend to each other, and raises the chance that they and other businesses won't get the credit they need to operate.
The London Interbank Offered Rate, or Libor, for three-month borrowing in dollars has jumped another 0.07 percent to 4.82 percent, two percentage points higher than the rate just a month ago, and despite this week's half point rate cut from the U.S. Federal Reserve and other central banks.
"That's torrid and continuing to send the wrong message...policy actions are clearly going over the heads of the markets," said Howard Wheeldon, senior strategist at BGC Partners.
"This is capitulation in a way," he said, using the markets term for the moment when the last holdouts have given up and decided to sell.
This week's coordinated interest rate cuts by the world's central banks to thaw frozen credit markets and boost investor confidence have fallen flat as markets remain gripped by fears about the scale and depth of the likely global recession.
The latest woes in Europe came after the Dow Jones index in the U.S. closed 678.91 or, 7.3 percent lower, at 8,579.19, its first close below 9,000 in five years. The slide on the Dow was partly fueled by the decision of credit-rating agency Standard & Poor's to review its rating on General Motors Corp.
The Dow's seven-day decline of 20.9 percent is the largest since the seven-day plunge ending Oct. 26, 1987, when the Dow lost 23.8 percent. That sell-off included Black Monday, the Oct. 19, 1987 market crash that saw the Dow fall nearly 23 percent in a single day.
The losing stretch looks like it will rise to eight. Dow Jones industrials futures plunged 250 points ahead of the opening bell in New York.
In Japan, the benchmark Nikkei 225 index in Japan 881.06 points, or 9.6 percent, to 8,276.43, its lowest closing level since May 2003. It was its biggest one-day percentage loss since the stock market crash of October 1987 and meant that the Nikkei lost nearly a quarter of its value during the week.
Kenji Akasaka, 69, president of a local printing company, said he had never seen it this bad in the 40 years he has traded stocks. He said he invests mainly in blue-chips including Toyota Motor Corp. and Nintendo Co., both of which have lost about half their value over the last year.
"I pray before I go to bed that the Dow will recover," said Akasaka, 69, as he scanned a monitor displaying the latest market levels.
Finance ministers and central bankers from the Group of Seven industrialized nations are due to meet later Friday in Washington to address the financial meltdown but analysts are skeptical that they can do anything to soothe concerns about the world economy. U.S. President George W. Bush is due to make an address to the American people later in the day.
Gordon Brown, the British Prime Minister, has called for a "global solution" to the world financial crisis and is urging countries around the world to follow Britain's lead in buying stakes in troubled banks in return for some element of control.
Few places around the world have escaped the deepening gloom. In Australia, where the S&P/ASX200 plummeted a record 8.3 percent, market watchers were calling it "Black Friday." Key indexes in Hong Kong, Singapore, the Philippines and India were all down about 8 percent. South Korea's Kospi closed down 4.1 percent, while the Shanghai Composite Index posted a more moderate decline of 2.8 percent.
And in Indonesia, authorities suspended trading indefinitely on the Jakarta Stock Exchange after they had halted trading Wednesday after the index plunged more than 10 percent.
It's not just stocks that are taking a hammering. Oil prices continue to plummet and have fallen to a one-year low below $83 a barrel while the British pound has been sold heavily, falling below $1.70. The Japanese yen and gold remain in demand as safe-haven assets.

Man, what a mess out there
Maybe Kevin is right with 6K Dow bottom
All I know is I am in all Cash and ready to buy once we find bottom. Wherever the fk that may be...
How can you not like AAPL, SCI, NOV and countless others down here?
Look at the volume on AOG. A good old bottom feeder like yourself has to appreciate that one. But then again, im drinking again so who knows...wtf
Blame Canada lol!
>
I'm not pluggin this guy, but what do you think...
Damn, I missed it, got caught up with some other stuff.
Where's SSC to give us a full update on what is questions were and what answers were provided?
How do you know this? Because someone posted it on a message board it is the truth? Did you call the TA yourself?
I didnt say "automatically", I understand the process, they need the opinion letter from the lawyer to remove the restricted legend in order to make the shares free trading.
And you will also note, I did not say CEF did sell their shares, I said they could have. Just as all the things you and SSC have said could be true.
big difference between fact and possibility.
Just my opinion...
Why would a gagged transfer agent release information about CEFs restricted shares but not the company share structure?
all of my posts are just my opinion as it states clearly in my siggy. And I respect other opinions when they are presented as such. I dont think its right to pound the board with my opinion presented in such a way that most shareholders begin to believe it to be fact.
It is possible that Dr. Ben and his crew have sold their shares and contributed to the decline in the stock price.
Just as you have stated on this board for a long time that Keith is selling and holding the stock down.
Many people believe your claims as fact based on how you stated them. I really dont have the energy to go digging up links to your old posts, but you know what I am referring to.
My point is; None of us knows for certain who is selling or when.
As far as flsun posting a link to my post, unfortunately, I cant stop that and I dont really even bother anymore to look at any "links" he posts, its pointless and offers no value to me as a shareholder.
Now that is funny...
So the 9 million shares was only for the first 5 months worth of work? So, potentially over 100K for each of Ben and his team for 5 months work. How nice for them. This just keeps getting better.
And the shares went to CEF and not Dr. Ben personally?
That is laugh out loud. I wonder what the CEF stands for?
Hmmm what could it be? lmao
Believe me, I do pay attention to the details.
Speaking of details, did you get us an update on how many shares "CEF" still holds?
Hmmm....Not sure why we are still talking about St. Pete...but anyway...since we are rehashing the past..it looks like the good Rabbi is wrong again.
Here are my notes from the con call held by Dr. Ben on July 23rd, 2007
Some interesting statements made by Dr. Ben back then...

Just my opinion...
If the shares became free trading on June 4th, he could have started selling at .05 and unloaded around 250K a day, then continued selling at the ask at .04 in late June early July, then finished off dumping at .03 in late July on those high volume days. At 250K a day, he could have unloaded his entire position in as little as 36 days.
9 million at .04 Avg is $360000. Not bad for 3 guys for about a years work. $120K each is pretty sweet.
lol. The holding period for restricted shares is one year.
So as of June 2008 he could have began selling.
To state as fact that he wasnt paid is clearly inaccurate.
He got 9 million shares!!
Go ask Ben how many of those 9 million he still holds.
I wouldnt put too much faith in what you read on a message board, especially this one. According to publicly available informaton, Dr. Ben and his team recieved 9 million shares in June 07 and even at a current price of .035 thats...over Three Hundred Thousand dollars! Nice money if you can get it.
Interesting for a poster to come on here and state as fact that Dr. Ben wasnt paid and accuse others of half-truths.
lol Shaking my head.
Just my opinion...

Moody's: Municipal-Only Bond Insurers Might Get AAA
July 31, 2008: 10:46 AM EST
CHICAGO -(Dow Jones)- Bond insurers that cover only municipal and public purpose bonds might be more likely to win a top credit rating than insurers that dabble in securities backed by consumer and other loans, Moody's Investors Service said Thursday.
Moody's held a conference call Thursday to discuss its recent ratings actions on bond insurers.
Earlier this week, Moody's put the B2 rating of Security Capital Assurance Ltd.'s (SCA) bond insurance units on review after the insurer announced a deal to cancel contracts it had with Merrill Lynch & Co. (MER) to cover losses on the investment banks' collateralized debt obligations, or CDOs, that are backed by subprime mortgages.
Last week, Moody's said it might downgrade the remaining two stable triple A- rated bond insurers from the seven that held that rating last year, Assured Guaranty Ltd. (AGO) and FSA Corp.
Several downgraded bond insurers have announced plans to start up new bond insurer subsidiaries that would only insure municipal bonds, in order to have a chance to win the top rating, which most municipal bond issuers require.
