It takes ...
steel balls (for the guys) to hang in there and watch the pps drop. However, I have often kicked myself for not taking the opportunity to load up on a promising stock when it dropped lower.
I think the leaders of SKTO need to keep their focus on building the company, but it would sure be nice if they could get some of their friends and biz associates to start investing in this now. After all, it's a penny stock and some of their connections should not have a problem buying this stock at this price (.018 to .02!) in large quantities. When that happens, I suppose we will see it materialize when the volume starts increasing rapidly. Not sure if quantities will be broken down in smaller increments or if there will suddenly be million share orders showing up separately.
Chessman
Actually ...
It was fortunate for me the pps has gone down the past several days because I was able to more than double the amount of shares I had. Now sitting tight for the good news and progress.
Chessman
It is appropriate to note that the Company is aware of ...
the recent volatility in the pricing and trading of our shares.
The Company is advised that certain market participants are actively shorting the company's shares and the Company had been advised that much of this activity may be in violation of applicable federal securities laws.
As reported by the SEC, in their bi-monthly publication of significant FTD's (Failure to Deliver) – shares of the company began to experience significant fails on settlement date from April 24, 2013 to April 30, 2013 (the last date reported by the SEC) rising from 31,918 and reaching as high as 1,129,254 shares. The table below outlines the reported number of fails on each day in that period.
Date
Number of Shares Failing
4/30/2013
1,129,254
4/29/2013
1,178,227
4/26/2013
303,129
4/25/2013
347,379
4/24/2013
312,175
4/23/2013
197,806
4/22/2013
136,099
4/19/2013
31,918
Source: http://www.sec.gov/foia/docs/failsdata.htm
In addition to the FTD information two additional data points raise cause for concern that the shares failing amount to a naked short position initiated by certain market makers:
The entire short interest as reported bi-monthly amounts to 1,088,000 as of April 30 2013. The rise of FTD's to 1,129,254 on April 30 2013 indicates that this is not attributable to legally borrowed short position.
The Company continues to remain on the REG SHO list indicating that there were at least 285,000 shares failing (based on the minimum threshold formula for being added to the list) at the close yesterday. This marks the 13th consecutive day that the Company has been on the REG SHO list.
The Company is advised that some or all of this short interest may be in violation of Rule 10b-21 and Regulation SHO, this trading practice is known as "naked short selling." Short selling is a trading practice whereby investors borrow stock from a broker to sell in the hope that the stock price will decline before they have to return the share to the broker to cover their position. Simply stated, "naked short selling" involves groups of people working in concert to manipulate the market in order to force a company's share price lower.
The Company has been advised that there are the relevant indications of a significant naked shorting attack directed at the Company. The Company is concerned that such activities continue in apparent violation of applicable regulations.
Forward Stock Split (4:1)
Having regard to these concerns and in order to seek to stabilize the market for our common stock and for our shareholders as a whole, the Company is announcing a four-for-one (4:1) forward split of our common stock, with a record date of May 15, 2013 (the "Record Date").
The forward split will take effect upon approval of the same by FINRA (the "Payable Date"). On the Payable Date, every one (1) share of the Company's pre-split common shares held by a shareholder as of the Record Date, will automatically be split into four (4) shares of the Company's post-split common shares.
In addition, the Company will increase the number of authorized common shares from 75,000,000 to 350,000,000.
The forward split will affect all shareholders uniformly and will not affect any shareholder's ownership percentage.
Anyone know ...
what the short position is now and any good ideas what may be in store for LOTED next week?
Thanks !

A life changer ...
This stock will be a life changer for me. I have lost my life savings and comfortable life due to circumstances beyond my control, and all I have left is my investment in RTGV, but I truly believe RTGV will give me the new lease I desperately need. Lets go RTGV! Based on some communications and examining what is in the works, I feel things are looking very good. I am very impressed with the company and the services it is providing and will provide. The target of .05+ to .10 cents seems pretty accurate and attainable. We just have to hang in there for the new developments.
Good fortune to all!
I like the positive energy here.
Good to have people who do good DD and are optimistic. Negativity for the sake of discouraging others in order to steal shares is one of the ugly things about forums like this. Pumping also can cause problems, but I find much of the "pumping" to be just an overly amount of enthusiasm. After all, why wouldn't someone want to see a company like RTGV succeed? Success leads to both happy investors and more jobs for the people and industry.
I am a new investor in RTGV ...
and I feel this company has nowhere to go but up. I am much more comfortable investing in RTGV than in Facebook (which really dumped after the IPO start).
The chart looks good, the 8K is arriving any day now, and potential for growth in this industry is great with what RTGV offers.
Steven Baughman seems to know what he is doing, and I feel confident he will take the company in the right direction.
Looking forward to exciting times ahead!
You are welcome.
No problem. I am a concerned investor and wanted to find out what was happening.
The Doctor seems to be a little disturbed by the aggressive impatience of some investors, because international deals take a little time, and she and the lawyers are trying to get it finished up ASAP. No doubt, I want things to move forward faster than what appears to be happening, but business does not always work that quickly, especially complex international deals.
Chessman
From what I have learned from the CEO ...
I was able to successfully communicate to Dr. Agnes not too long ago. For you bashers and doubters out there:
The vodka deal is a very big deal to HBRM. It will generate a lot of profits, and the company is very pleased about the situation.
The CHRI deal will be happening soon. It is an international transaction/arrangement and more complex than a regional business transaction. It has taken longer to consummate because of the foreign entity involved, but it will be happening, and not months from now, but very soon. What I concluded from the communication is that it will not be disappointing to investors.
So ... we wait. The CHRI deal will be sprung, and it will probably catch most everyone off guard, and I think the price will surprise, also.
Investors, start your engines.
Chessman
I agree ...
It seems to take balls of steel to stay with these promising pennies, but, in the end, the patient investors win.
Chessman
Like I said ...
Bashing can be profitable. Keep trying!
Received a communication from the good Doctor ...
I think she is frustrated with the fact that many of us here are impatient about the China deal. From what I gather from her email, the deal is in the works, but it is taking time to finalize.
No doubt, bashers here are using the lull to discourage longs and to see if they can get the pps down low enough to buy in at their target price.
I believe the deal is close, but I suppose not close enough for the satisfaction of many who have bee patiently holding.
GLTA,

To buy the CTs ...
one really needs to buy at the ASK. The players in the background are not going to let these go cheap.
I already have ...
Have buys at .10 on three of the CTS and nothing is filling.
Good Doctor ...
We really need a PR now. Maybe we catch the MMs off guard.
Anyone ...
know what the conversion is for DIMEQ to WMIH shares? Seems that this is the biggest unknown right now.
TIA!
Chessman
Not sure why ...
but the commission on a trade for LHHMQ was going to be $150! So I canceled that order and went for LEHNQ, which I was able to pick up again today, and the commission was less than $10. Very strange stuff going on in the gray markets with these CTs.
Chessman
The trade ...
was for 1000 at .10, and it was mine.
Apparently, some MMs are making it difficult to get trades of the CTs done by the brokers. I had to work with one of the main guys at the trade desk at TDA last week to get them to route the four CTs so people like me with TDA can place orders. This manager had the initial opinion that the CTs had "expired," but I explained to him what happened with the Lehman BK and the CTs. So he went and got someone in a different department to help enable the routing.
Today, I called him up again and told him I had an open order for LEHNQ that hadn't been filled for a couple of days and that UBSS was sitting on the shares (I knew the shares were available). He checked into it and said he had never encountered such a weird situation. Then, he went and checked on it again, must have made some phone calls, and ... waddya know ... my first order after the accidental delisting finally went through! Those fucktard MMs! Someone is making it really difficult to trade the CTs, and I think we all know why.
I am off to hunt for some more.
Chessman
You are right, but so am I ...
Of course, it would benefit all CT owners if the MMs raised the share price to $1.00, but I am saying that right now I would like to pick up more at the ask or close before they all start heading to $1.00 or more. It all depends on how many shares one currently has. If you have 100,000 shares, then, no doubt, bring on a dollar! If you only have 10,000, then it would be nice to pick up some more at the low prices. That's all.
Chessman
Increase it to ...
500 shares at .10 and I will pick it up.
Okay, let's get to the bottom of this ...
First, I own CTs, and I want more.
I called my broker two days in a row. They tried checking with different departments like preferred, fixed income, reorg, etc., and got nothing. They put an open order out there with MMs for me and have received no response. The main person I dealt with feels that they are "expired," but I told him that they aren't, and I told him exactly what happened (accidentally delisted, then shoved on grey sheets, and preferred and commons lumped into the big share). I explained to him that they are actually worth something and that it appears that someone is trying to hide them away. He doesn't know what else to do other than just leave an open GTC order out there for me. I told him I would research further and get back to him.
Can Lehman be reached and what is their number? Let's force the issue. I hope that the MMs won't raise the ask to $1.00 or more.

Anyone have an idea as to ...
when the DIMEQ shares get converted? The Ps, Ks, and Us seem to have been converted already, but there is still no indication as to what the conversion rate of DIMEQ to the new shares will be.

Sharky ...
Thanks for your "help," but I am not being misled. I just simply am surprised and intrigued about the idea that this company may rise from the ashes as a shell or something similar and that the shares may be resurrected. I already accepted the idea that the shares have been cancelled (but I didn't write them off yet), but you never know. So, I will simply wait and see.
Chessman
Excellent post and DD! Thank you!
Thanks. I just think ...
that it is important to get past the hurdle of the Effective Date. Then everything for the CTs changes -- either in a big way or not.
Chessman
The point is ...
The point is not that the CTs are debt -- I have always known that -- it's just whether the CTs will be lumped in the big share pot. That will be the confirmation. Some have said -- and you may have been one of them -- that they could and would be lumped in with the commons and preferreds. I am simply saying that if they are not, then that will confirm recognition of the CTs as a debt instrument, and then the ball begins rolling in favor of the CTs.
As for the FJR, it was the IT claims that caused Walrat to even consider colorable claims. You should get your facts straight. Go ask the better DDers on the WAMU boards.
Chessman
Like I said ...
The proof in the pudding will be the effective date and confirmation of debt. Everything else will follow.
As for WAHUQ, IT triggered the FJR.
As for raining on a parade, you seem to do it on many boards. Kool Aid has nothing to do with it.
