1) Dont know the first one... I wish we did
2) Yes.. the Pats are going to win and in 2 weeks as well..
(Great D - anyone see Ty Law's interception - or my ex- Charger- Rodney Harrison- 1 Int and 1 caused fumble)..
+ Tom Brady remains cool and dumps those short passes ( He has won a Super Bowl already.. Manning, Delhomme or McNabb have not and do not show the poise in the big game..)
Sorry- mind the grammar.. kids is (instead of are)..
working on 3 other things here but had to comment.
drives me Wacko !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I tend to disagree with you..
It is not gambling.. placing it all on black and spinning the wheel...
follow the top 20 rules for investment success..
No 5) Cut every loss when it is 8% below your cost (without exception).. you can always get back in later.. so these posts saying that you are in love.. holding on forever.. down with ship.. well then, duh, it is gambling. and potentially to lose all.
However if we stuck to all rules.. we would be breaking..
1) stocks with 3 yrs earnings up
2) Recent quarter>25% up
3) avoid cheap stocks (under $15)
4) spot sound bases and buy at exact points (not just because you love it)..
...
should I continue..
yes this is for risk appetite of portfolio.. but not to throw away.. and I just keep thinking that when people post B.S. that drives away investors.. yes.. drives away (no matter what you think.. if you see this kind of stuff on a board.. well you know what most would think .. ) Sorry guys/ladies.. just my thoughts..
It just sounds like the guy who says yeah I still love my wife even if she:
... is cheating on me
... with 10 different guys
... dont know who the father of my kids really is
... she beats me up
... wants to start a new profession as a crack whore
... gets out of prison in 30 years..
but I still love her..
See how it sounds..
Wacko- it is posts like that which Sortagreen is correct in complaining about....
I will always be there.. wont go down with the ship.. in love with the stock etc. etc..
Even if you have the best intentions, it sure sounds like pure pumping which has the same effect as a basher to a true investor/newbie or someone performing due dilligence on the boards before getting in...
it scares the hell out of people.. I go to a site and see this and think it is full of pumping or bashing.. and wonder why? that prevents you from getting in!
think about it before you post this again. Please!
That is why you are suppose to wear your helmut..
Wikkid- you are already having a monologue so why not deliver the punchline?

Wacko- O/T- on TRDM
I like the outstanding- only 30 mill but vol is too low for my risk appetite regarding liquidity if I want to sell.
Yesterday's volume was 30k- avg vol 50 days is 86k and 200 days is 36k- So it only trades between $10-$30k in value per day.
I think that there is a need for a penny stock to trade over $30k avg to make it liquid enough for a big play. IMO..
Hockeypond.. you didnt see the post on spinbull because you have not logged on there since Dec 9th- at least under that alias.
post 935- under the general discussion board. Either search general discussion board - or go to the tab of most recent boards off of the home page.
Hockeypond- no I do not know him- It is a big industry- When I was in London there were over 750,000 people working in financial services just in that city. You tend to get to know the management more.. ie. Divisional Heads, COOs, CFOs etc..
There was a chance but no.
Ok- off to finish reading a book (last 100 pages of 500 pager)..
however, if anyone is interested in trying to find the best stocks to invest in based on my post 8937 here.. let me know.. I have cut and pasted the portion of that post again below..
Spot a winner- we all could work on this one like how Dan thought of the PPS exercise- we should look at best value/opportunities. Look at something like TASR- it was $3.50 in March 2003 now it just hit $105 in after hours today.
Sales went from $7 mill to $13 mill sept- Sept 03-04. But here is the thing, it had only 2.8 million shares outstanding (now 3.21) .. and only 50 mill authorized - but not used. Therefore, with earnings, market cap is now $331 mill based on all of these new sales announcements.- high PPS to EPS - even analyst consensus of $57 and up to $103.
Therefore, a mission could be one of 2- find something similar to TASR- low shares outstanding (and auth) with solid growth Q over Q- sales and EPS. to run for 1 year.
and second one is to find 1-5 penny stocks sub .05 that you monitor news ready to pounce - when anomalies show for value.. like GLBT (IDNW) showed low debt and over $120 mill in rev with market cap of under $10 mill - pretty obvious after that 10Q where the PPS was heading...
Anyone up for the challenge? if so please let me know posting either here as a reply to me or on spinbull.com
It is probably the best way to spend our time while we wait for activity with NSDM
Dr.- I tend to stay away from companies that had financial filing issues- ie. fraud/Bankruptcy potential etc..
I understand that they have a new bus. plan . The positive is that the market to book is 8.5 to 5 so the value of the stock seems to be undervalued on that alone but again, how to trust books ? I think that I can find better return with less risk that is all-
Wacko- I like ONT as a product..
only 75 mill shares out so it could go up a few bucks.. currently trading slightly above 200 and 50 day avg. My concern would be that the CEO and another insider both sold shares and exercised options at the beginning of Jan.. that kind of insider transactions usually does not give a solid indicator of the short term price of the stock.. I was thinking about them if their rev targets looked good but the insider transactions have me on hold with them..
Info like this is helpful and that is why many investors may wait to get a peek at NSDM info before buying shares.. The only thing is that it may be too late to get a good entry price at that time (ie. Feb- March).
Well King- I am not an analyst so my recommendations are not as valued. Lets just say that NSDM is under 5% and greater than 1% of my portfolio. I am looking to make money on a mover. Look at GLBT (IDNW).. I was not monitoring that one but caught it at .031 (on the day when it started at .013) - it went as high as mid .20s and now back at .12.. I had 200k shares. I want to be able to spot a stock sub .05 and buy 1-2 million shares on a mover (like AGIS and others recently) that go up to .30- $1 so that I can make $300k- $1mm on the risk part of my portfolio). Some say that you can't make a million and I say that is B.S. yes.. if you do it right.
I have 3 trading methods:
1) is classic mixed portfolio of which NSDM is part of risk portion
2) Watch the news wires to catch breaking info fast.. like how I picked up GLBT (IDNW at the time) or AGIS.. and have up to $40k cash always available in my portfolio to catch those 1 day jobs like AGIS- that you get in sub .03 knowing that it will run to at least .15 - these seem to happen about 2-4 times per month.. I have been mirror trading (ie. no cash practicing when to get in and out of them- SNNW was an example of .01- went to .13 then back to .03 then up to .08 again).. so I am ready to play that way now.. - missed AGIS as I went for a walk and when back it was already .13 when I saw it.
3) Spot a winner- we all could work on this one like how Dan thought of the PPS exercise- we should look at best value/opportunities. Look at something like TASR- it was $3.50 in March 2003 now it just hit $105 in after hours today.
Sales went from $7 mill to $13 mill sept- Sept 03-04. But here is the thing, it had only 2.8 million shares outstanding (now 3.21) .. and only 50 mill authorized - but not used.

Anyone up for the challenge? if so please let me know posting either here as a reply to me or on spinbull.com
Wacko- Thanks.. any suggestions and they will be done.. (re- user friendliness). That goes for anyone else.
Also, regarding my background- see post 1019 on this board (for anyone who has joined after Oct 19th 2003) to verify my credentials. I am performing this role as well as trading my portfolio. I have performed the roles of COO Global Equity Sales and Infrastructure, CFO of Global Markets Sales and Global Head of MIS at an Investment Bank.
As stated, I have always been upfront on who I am. I have stated my reasons for being here too.. ( I have stated my experience so people can use that information for their own judgement regarding my opinion on this or any other stock advice).. I am not an expert in penny stocks but wanted to be involved for the risk percentage of my portfolio.
I still believe that this is an interesting month and I am personally betting the risk percentage of my portfolio on this stock (and a few other stocks too) with the expectation of a solid return. However, I do remain cautious and posts over the last few days cloud the opinions of serious investors or newbies. Any true investor should be aware of this when they are posting.
Thanks Dr.
It is on the general discussion board..
go to the tab, board with recent posts on the home page and you will see that board

I have never used any other alias however, I would like others to know some piece of information.
I agree with Sorta...
Multiple aliases with some personal hidden agendas going on here and only now do certain people highlight interests..
Given certain errors in grammar, spelling, expressions, etc, it is easy to deduce certain potential aliases.
I also have other means. Again, I can honestly say that I have only used this logon and no other. The question that the rest of us have is why? What is their agenda or gain? What I have never understood is how they received information in advance of the rest of us and how accurate they were with regards to PR predictions etc?
If anyone knows, do us all a favor and advise us? Also, you have to wonder why someone teases with "I can't tell you now but later" and there are a few posters that do this. Maybe, there is great pending news which will move the pps or maybe, it is all hype for personal gain. The point is that we will not know until people come clean with rational points stipulating about these comments.. or... facts from the company are released.
I tend to believe that the latter will be first.
As a stockholder, I hope it is positive.
that is the point.. we don't know and leading up to the next few weeks should be interesting..
Prince- do you mean the commentary about payoffs, deals, partnerships, funding, filing, or the current pps?
Seems like a lot of stuff being talked about for a company that has not disclosed anything yet?
Maybe it is being manipulated down again before a double double?
Have to see. This is one of those that will keep your hand on the trigger (or keyboard)... to either sell fast if something happens or buy as much as you can asap- no one knows yet?
It will be difficult to be away from your computer around the end of Jan...
Skydiver.. the problem with the American Bulls site is that they choose when to show the buy, sell or hold indicators only to reflect their ability to provide recommendations with a large percentage..
They pick arbitrary dates and lengths of recommendations to show that when they told you to buy a stock or sell a stock.. they will keep that recommendation until they can show a strong % change (either up or down) irrespective of the correct time to enter or exit a stock. You will actually notice that they keep many fluctuating stocks on hold. Their aim is to show that when they told you to sell - it went down say greater than 20% and the same when they told you to buy.
Irrespective of the movements in the meantime.. ie.. they tell you to sell, then it goes up for 100 days then it finally goes back to 10% below that original price (say .10- to $1 for 75 days and then it tanks to .08 after 120 days and they say look the stock had a loss of 20% since we made our sell recommendation 120 days ago).. and that is when they will publish their info...
seen it on many stocks so I don't use them.. better to use the recommendations on the barchart techn indicators site.
Devon- Do you not think that maybe Dan and A2Gems may be one in the same? Just a thought? As stated before, too many aliases and too many personal agendas about manipulation going on lately.
Both have stated that they wont be around - A2 saying permanently and Dan saying no comments about NSDM..
fyi- I have always appreciated your insight- I have told you that in the past, I just criticized the way that you presented it and the manner sometimes.
Since day 1, I have said lets have info and added value: concepts about the industry, how to value PR- ie. quantified content etc.. to be able to act fast.. I have always appreciated that aspect of this board and wish that the direction would lean more toward that end than personal arguments.
PPS looks like it may be slowly being manipulated up today based on early indications.. lets see.
Nazgul- Best of luck to you. The animosity seems to occur as to a difference of opinion or facts. Also, the challenges seem to get a bit personal.. it reminds me of growing up at the dinner table - people have experienced many emotions and fluctuations with the price depending on when and how you played NSDM. If you read a few posts, almost all of us have made personal comments but if you read between the posts, you will notice that there are some contributors that add value to better understand this company, the stock, the industry and other trading tidbits.. Welcome- Consider it like like someone dropped $million of diamonds in the sewage system... you may have to wade through a lot of crap but there is a lot of value here..
Prince.. thank you for your continued kind words..
You are one of the Voices of Reason which have must read posts.. Along with some others.. I dare not start to mention them as I fear I may miss a valued member. Lets just say that there are compelling reasons to read (and post here) however, sometimes certain posters/posts have the opposite reaction..
I prefer the former- again for the added value content.
On another note: The Technicals have moved back to Sell and short term hold.. I still believe that this is a correction that will turn upward (hopefully near term)- have to get to that .068 by cob tomorrow - that was my prediction.. and I think it was actually one of the most conservative when we were at .06. A few days in green will attract investors.. leading through the month and pps will get higher than if it stagnates for an extended period..

had to get that off my chest..
sorry for being long winded but wanted to make a few points
Things that make you go Hmmmm!
Sorta- I agree that you need to back up statements and not just say that I have a smile. Also, what confuses the new or current investor (myself included) is all of this "quasi- inside posting" going on this board.
People posting pictures of operations here when they are not even on the Northstar Diamonds web site. Also, people aware of PR in advance, other pieces of information direct from the company but not available to others.
I really appreciate the insight when people tell us valued information (yes Christian/Devon- from you too- I never complained just sometimes how you gave those one sentence sell jobs)about all aspects of this company and the industry.
That is why this board has attracted so many. The question that has always made me and maybe others wonder about the integrity of posters is how they actually acquired some of this information and how they presented it.
For all readers/newbies, etc... I got involved based on the following: (+) :
historic patterns of the company (range so good movement upwards), volume (for liquidity), and great long term potential. They were progressive in explorations in the Ukraine and had already found diamonds (latest Ukraine PR denotes it in a quantitative way) and now they have the Superior Craton region where they keep acquiring more land...; they were stating that they would be going to the OTC BB and therefore, I expected financials should be supporting..
Since then (-): The value of shares outstanding came out much higher than anticipated diluting the upswing potential that many of us originals had hoped (i.e $10-30pps) - Most of us Longs still believe the value could go between .20 to who knows.. maybe over $1 - how high is the great debate on this board.
Some things still remain, Longs still see the potential and at minimal the range coming back leading up the filings/OTC BB move.
So for all you readers and Newbies- Forget about the infighting, look at the past due dil on this board. I have stated my reasons for acquiring shares and for why I still have shares.. maybe it would do everyone a benefit if each of us stated the their reasons.. and if you can't provide your reasons, then, people may discount your opinions in the future.
Thanks Dan- Anyone fancy becoming a spy..
Clandestine stuff etc.
While I was living in the UK I watched a show called "Spooks" on BBC.. it is playing on A&E here called MI5
I was checking out the BBC site to see when the 3 season will hit over here and I found a "Spy Academy" .. it is kind of cool for anyone interested in that stuff.. We all like research so this is a way to relax and have fun .. I just started playing with it and found out that according to their profile and requirements- I am a born natural- maybe a new day job?
If anyone is interested - site is as follows:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/drama/spooks/spy_academy.shtml
thanks for the info..
Some good news today (for me anyway)
Since everyone is talking football, I have a question for you?
My team is the Chargers (sorry- joined in 70s). Anyway, they finished tied for last with Giants and Cardinals at 4-12.
Anyone know who gets first pick in the draft? Last time Chargers had the first pick, they traded it (Vick) and down to get 2nd pick- Ladanian Tomlinson and picked Drew Brees- oops..
anyone know who gets first pick in draft? I do have other secondary teams still playing.. Pats (and winner between them and Chiefs win Superbowl this year) and Packers but they wont go all the way
A2Gems- How does my name get in there? I never made any comment on the PR... take a look at my posts.
I only commented on the idiots posting with multiple identities. Dont bother making up stuff.. I dont talk crap..
I admit that I may be wrong with my interpretations sometimes.. but dont accuse me of things that I do not do or say. You can ask others on this board if I have not provided very good advice about other stocks. Obviously, I can't always be right.. if so, you wouldnt hear from me because I would already be extremely rich and not involved. I admit when I make mistakes.. I have incorrectly predicted the price of this stock. Follow my posts.. I did say that the pps would go up during the holidays and it did... I also said that the price would correct... and it did (just that I thought it would go up further first to say .08 and then correct by the end of the week down to .068- instead it topped in .06 and corrected to .04- right concept just off..
I did not make a comment on the PR so stop talking bull...
My logic has always been sound here just maybe not always correct- I must say that my predictions have been better on other stocks- but lets face it- this stock was in the teens when I got involved.. it has been months below .07 - none of us figured that out.. so lets just say that I am in the same boat as most but at least I speak my mind and provide reasoning to my statements/speculations.
Sorry but sometimes you just have to comment....
I can't take it ...
How do people expect to be taken seriously when they have multiple errors in their posts.. Like (Bald Face Lie.. etc)- These are either new expressions or it just makes me wonder if they all went to the George W. Bush School of newly created words and expressions..
You can understand spelling/typos.. but sometimes people just come across barely literate.
Then, you get the idiots who post under new aliases like Smilingblond21 this morning.. attempt once- get burned and then come up under a new entry the next day.
They all give themselves away.. just read through the history of posts. Look at all of the posters that end statements/arguments with !!! (3-4 always) or use "your" instead of you're etc.
It doesn't take a Brain Surgeon to figure it out..
I can honestly say that I only post under one alias and what you see is what you get.
Anyone else sometimes wonder about this stuff?
It is posts like SmilingBlond21 and other aliases that destroys the value of the board. Do people really belive that everyone is that gullible?
Wouldn't Daddy actually get you a diamond or car for $24,000 - I think so.. not waste it on an airhead. Also, my wife is blonde (not 21 but Scandinavian- lucky me) so pretending to be a dummy under this stereotype is a joke.
I guess Daddy would be pleased- why not use the money to send you to school. Or better still maybe he should have just given you $5 so you could have gone to the "Mall" and bought yourself a "clue".......
Too many multiple aliases on this board..
Devon Andrews = Christian (Andrews) DX?
Maybe others that have not posted in some time are actually posting under some of these new aliases?
Stick with one handle- no need to play games - Just post under one id please here!
I am also using the spinbull site - it has a chat room, and price predictions/accuracy as well as spam/noise filtering so people with multiple aliases will still be singing the same song but it will be much easier to value posts and get the best return out of reading info. That is one of the reasons why I have not been posting as much here lately..
DR... I would never tell expect someone to buy or sell on my advice just like I wouldnt do it on someone else's....
However, the point of these boards is to exchange information and discuss potential which usually involves some opinion.. if it was just fact, we would all be rich... it can't be fact other than breaking news or some insight now recognized in the market. Most people's opinions are formulated on some rudimentary analysis so that at least gets us all thinking..
again, that is what I thought these boards are for.. (idea creation, thinking outloud, sounding board, feedback, comments, research, analysis, etc).. not just entertainment
Hey- that spinbull site now has a chat room...
I just set up an NSDM chat room and I am in there now if anyone wants to join in..
My bubble hasnt just burst.. it never existed on this stock.. I will be the first to admit that I have got this wrong more than right- but I am sure that most others are in the same boat..
It has been hard to predict.. Others that can be associated together in performance and tracking are easier- like NTE and CYD or Sohu and Sina etc..
I still think it corrects - too steep of movement up..
IMO- for what it is worth.
Predictions...
NSDM up from move over xmas as stated.. will go up more then correct.. then keep going in Jan..
I also told Wacko that NTE was in a better postion than CYD coming out of the weekend.. today...NTE is currently up $3.40 and CYD is down $2 at 2:45 today....
These things get predictable when you group performance, techn, charts with certain companies together...
Over Jan - CYD will max at $35 at best while NTE may go back to $40 but more likely $36 or so (now $31)
Again- predictions- NSDM up, correct then continue up.....
Look at the technical indicators.. I picked this off the spinbull site: ... first time in a while that overall recommendation is a BUY- 32% (only long term is sell - due to the last few months history - however, after another solid week or so, and continued good news leading to OTC BB listing.. it should be GREEN across the board on technicals and that will only add fuel to the fire.. like a rocket soon...

dont know if my last post was confusing on the Jan 31 prediction.
Jan 9th- .068 (after correction from .075+)
then keeps going up and over .15 by month end
