So you estimate this to be a long hold?
Hmm, jumping out of JST with a stop loss is gonna be interesting. Let's hope we won't have to do that.
One doesn't. You can either call the transfer agent listed for that company, or rely on whatever your broker posts for you (not a good idea with pinks). Or the T/A may be gagged, then you can only guess.
In JST at 29.54.
Ah, good. That might put them ahead of those who use corn. That is, if the kind of biomass even matters for the plant.

Hope they don't use too much corn at LLEG :)
:)
About bloody time. Congratulations! :)
Nice trade :)
Gotta be careful there. As I understand, it intends to sell big ticket items, right? Those have very established channels, and people hwho buy those items usually go through those. They have to be given an incentive to go through a new channel, and there're few incentives for them to do so.
The incentives to go through a new channel would be finding something they weren't able to find otherwise; bragging rights about how savvy they are; the recommendation of someone they trust and subsequent good experience with it.
The incentives to not do so would be the people who buy big ticket items being rather conservative with their time, and so not necessarily willing to try some new channel with its potential hassles (which time could be spent on something else); going through the established channels meaning having someone else do the legwork for them, as opposed to having to do it themselves; amd the natural suspicion of someone they don't know or can see (the anonymity of Web).
That is, if we mean the same thing by big ticket items. If you mean just cars, boats, and big screen TVs, they'd have to compete with the likes of Ebay, Craigslist, Recycler (and whatever local publications are out there), and tons of others.
So to me it looks like a "get in quick, make money, get out quick" type of play. But then, doens't it describe most of the pinks? ;)
COuld be. I gave 50K as a "devil's advocate" number, the actual numbers would probably be more around 10-20K (without knowing the company's specifics, it could be much higher, but not lower, as it's not a social networking site). However, 1/4 of them being potential customers is way too optimistic. Even for sites geared specifically for selling something (so people only visit them to buy something, you'd think), the conversion rates are still below 10%, and it goes further down if the site has interesting info on it, as then more poeple come there for that info (the thinking is that some of them might convert). Still, I was only commenting on the ad part, don't know anything about this company.
Well, I was just commenting on the ad revenue part that was broached, nothing else.
Not much ad revenue there. 5 million hits per day roughtly translates (it can vary, of course, based on their website's content) into about 200K unique visitors. When it comes to monthly stats, that number becomes something like 10-15K unique visitors per month.
The actual ad revenue depends on the agreements they get, how specific their audience is, what kind of conversion rate they can deliver, etc. Still, even assuming 50K unique visitors per month, it won't generate much ad revenue, unless they're paid per conversion and manage an insanely high conversion rate. The problem with pay per conversion ad rates is that you usually just net the first conversion, after that the customer goes directly to the vendor's site for new purchases; so you have to have NEW customers all the time.
Per-click or per-view ads won't generate much on that sort of traffic.
So to actually prosper, they'd have to have something in addition to ad revenue.
Also, the traffic is usually listed in per day stats. Per month stats are listed when per day stats don't look too great, and it'd look more impressive to someone who isn't in that business.
And that's a good thing in my book :)
Speak for yourself. Of course, some can will a stock to go up. Look at Monkish's signature :)
Or "now, you maggots are about to make the first f... voluntary sacrifice for your country. To the infirmary, on the double, go!" :)
That's why I take my profits, sometimes too early.
Yeah, got away from me, too. Well, I won't chase it.
Pity I missed that one. Oh well, let's see if it comes back to me.
Did that with INIX, but they seem to prefer to sell below my bid :)
Until it moves to the garage with the other toys ordered removed by the general of the house during housecleaning or remodeling :)
WOuld be interesting to get a concealed carry permit for a tank. If you dismount the machine guns, it's not a fully automatic... :)
Does he have a carry permit for that one? :)
Yeah, I'd be one of those staring deeper into the abyss with every glass, it staring back at me, and I'd be telling it to mind its manners, as it's impolite to stare.
Yeah, that's what people do in pinkieland. Makes it an interesting place to be :)
What it'd look like to the MMs is, "hey, look at that penny herd trying to manipulate us again. When will they learn. Oh well, time for another shake, gotta keep 'em on their toes, just where we want them" :)
The Army sends 'em to the NTC instead. Mojave Desert, yumm :)
YUp, and then there's the whole "life changing stock" drama. Add to it pumpers, bashers, and all those accused of either (or both). A regular soap opera, day after day :)
iMedals are "it" :)
Well, given how we give awards these days, it's only natural. "You're special, just like everybody else. You're a real hero, just like the hero who managed to come to work for 4 years" :)
Sure, print it out and put it on the wall.
Yeah, that guy from St. Thomas had it for sale :)
I see, so you're now a "basher" then :)
"It's good to be in D.C., hooray, hooray" :)
Tried buying it today at .06 and .065. Buys went in under me all the time, but no fill. Oh well :)
Most of the planet loses money in so many ways that noone's counted them yet.
Beat you there, I got 5 mil. We're quite some capitalists :)
Gotta be careful of the companies where you're on first name basis with the CEO :)
Yeah, the lesson is, take your profits on runs, don't ride the whole thing, just a small part of it, or it'll ride you to the ground. At least, in pinks.
I have GEGP too. Got it at .0001, and wanted to sell at .0002. Sure enough, it traded at .0002 and .0003, only I couldn't sell it at those prices. Still have it, and it's at .0001. You never know, maybe one day... they do an R/S, and it WILL be possible for it to go down further :)
$500 lotto play.
Isn't that a normal state of affairs in pennyland?
