Mide,
You made a great suggestion in a post a while back for all here to create a list of questions and submit them in advance so that they would receive thorough answers giving the company time to prepare the response. Was anything done to your knowledge?
Although it certainly pertains to the board it might be easier to organize this and pass information by email. I don't want to nominate anyone who doesn't want the responsibility of editing and crafting the document but if we could generate an email list and take it from there we could be fairly efficient.
I won't speak on Justfranks or Pagans behalf or interest in this but if posters wanted to email their questions, knowing there may be some editing to combine, condense, and clarify similar ones on their behalf, we could generate this. Those who prefer privacy could get a webbased email account with yahoo or google and communicate that way. I will offer to create the email list, anyone interested can shoot me their email address and we can go from there.

I work in Herndon VA. I may just pay a visit to the Technical Contact on Tuesday....
also interesting US copyright? images of "vip card" and "discount card" in english but rest of site in ruskie?
actually looks more like a descending triangle....hmmmm
Awesome find despot. I was just looking at the channel I was trading getting smaller and voila....
After a reread I also thought the wording of this was interesting...
"...which the New York Post portrays as financial journalism, written by SEC critic Christopher Byron..."
villas,
I suppose this qualifies although it is not specific.
From Dumas response to NY Post.
"We can only speculate and discuss with the regulatory authorities (as we have done over the past few days) the facts surrounding these apparently coordinated attacks which have been launched against our company recently by a series of law firms, tabloid journalists and professional short-sellers."
A google search reveals some well known names also attending the conference:
Accenture
Cypress Semi
Tellabs
Teradyne
and some interesting emerging companies like Millenium Cell among others.
btw 2 hrs appears to be standard for the other presenters as well but again this is a solid lineup.
Just in case anyone misunderstands, this is not a 2 hr meeting with solely GTE and Cowen. It is at the Cowen and Company 34th Annual Technology Conference and there will be other presenters over the 3 days it is being held. No doubt decision makers will be there and it would make for a great time to release news, as many companies do at these conferences. Would not assume it happens though I do think the webcast is an excellent idea.
Exited the EUR short last night at 1.2789 because I didn't want to risk it reversing before I got up. Lucky me because it reversed before it went oversold on the stoch and I would have lost my gains.
Channel still holding as possible break to the upside this am seems to have reversed for the time being. Thinking about reentering the short now when the 5 and 15 go back to overbought if it hasn't broken through channel top. Sure do wish I had got up earlier, I might have gotten in around 1.2875.
ok guys here goes the chart....the EUR/USD channel I am playing in my demo acct. Sorry for the "noise". The green dotted lines are just my current position entries short at around 1.2849 and 1.2842 with the red dotted lines my stop loss and take profit triggers. Yellow lines are fibonacci retracements. Again sorry for the clutter didn't really mean to have that stuff on there. I'm following the dark red lined channel until it breaks and the stochastic showing overbought and oversold. It's a 4hr chart, which I have never used before (normally use the 5, 15, daily, weekly to trade) but seems to be showing well currently.
Burden of proof lies with the accuser. It is the majorities opinion that the author of the NY Post online article took entirely too many liberties with the "facts" based on very little investigation.
If I had a blog and wrote an accusatory article wherein I stated that GTE had paid Delta Aero 5 million for services not rendered, inferred that Huff was funneling monies into this company and paid himself millions as an officer, would you not expect me to tell you how I know this?
I am sure you understand that GTE is gaining exposure. This upside website is no different than the NY Post in that it benefits them to "push buttons" because they get publicity and free exposure themselves from increased website hits.
IMO we are lucky that our IR sees fit to convince Dumas and Huff that they even need to waste their time to respond to this trash. These aren't even legitimate news sources PEOPLE!
Some posters are suggesting that the SEC is going to begin an investigation into the failed GTE/Internafta deal due to lawsuits filed by known frivolous litigators who in turn have only online "articles" (if you could call them that)as proof.
This is not something we should be throwing around lightly. That GTE has contacted the SEC is much more likely given that they have already sought mitigation through the AMEX for damage done already.
However, research for yourself the litigation releases concerning the different civil lawsuits brought by the Commission in federal court and form your own opinion....

You should try out the various demo accounts offered by online brokers. Try before you buy. Once you have a better idea of what type of trading you will be doing you can pick the broker that fits best for you.
some demos I tried:
oanda.com
gftforex.com
interbankfx.com
Please search the previous posts on this board and you will find some comments on the various other platforms out there.
This is a link to a site that lists many brokers sites. http://www.goforex.net/forex-broker-list.htm
Also go to babypips.com for some great info.
In the board header there is a link to the board "chat room". Might be a good way to easily pick some brains about who they are using and why. I believe it is usually active weeknights pm.
Hi Ataglance,
Playing the EUR/USD also. It looks to me like it's in a downward retracement channel and I have just been playing it back and forth. Until it breaks the channel one way or the other, I will just play it both ways.
I normally go by close price but this is a volatile channel. If you take the daily price highs and lows from the recent high on May 14/15 till today you can see the channel. If I can figure out how to post a chart from the interbank software, I'll do so.
cookie,
"MY TA says down further if no PR"
Please elaborate what that TA is, other than it went below the LOD and you sold because "you think it will go lower tomorrow without news."
"I bought and I sold--too many shares traded on a down PPs day"
Volume was average not higher or lower, how are you determining what too many shares traded for a down PPS day is? Were you looking for less than the two previous days or just less than avg.? How do you think that will affect price tomorrow? Is there a specific chart pattern you are looking at that caused you to exit because of the volume or is this just part of your trading plan?
I understand as a swing trader looking at today's daily chart setup you were looking to enter on the obvious price takedown from negative article and hold if news came or price and volume turned positive. Since neither happened, you sold and are now looking for a new swing trade.
You are obviously an experienced and knowledgeable trader who understands how to make money. If you could take the time to offer a little more substance in a few more of your posts, you will offer more to readers that way, both those who are on your level of expertise and those who aren't yet....
Any Brazilians out there find this part of the post article personally offensive?
"Now GlobeTel has begun a whole new fan dance, this time featuring plans to sell prepaid phone and debit cards to Brazilians looking for ways to move cash in and out of the U.S. unobtrusively."
I don't read the post but this was representative of the whole article. Unprofessional and unsubstantiated, which lends no credibility to any of it.
Not that I agree with the AMEX explanation of this practice as "odd positions here and there", but so those concerned will please stop posting about it as a specific issue to GTE.
Here is Grey Wolf info from qoutemedia:
7.78 1656100 AMX 17:47:19
approx. half of their 2.6 million in volume for the day.
If only to keep our overworked moderator, justfranks, blood pressure from blowing his ears off....TIA :)
Rules 135 and 135A, in general covers cancellations of trades because of errors. Could be how they weasel out of it....
http://wallstreet.cch.com/AMEX/
The way I read Rule 115 of AMEX Constitution and Rules....you were right msturgeo, in that our specialist should have notified AMEX to halt trading at that point earlier today.
http://wallstreet.cch.com/AMEX/
This is an unacceptable failure of our "specialist".
Humor?
How bout this for some humor from the AMEX website about quality:
"The AMEX Exchange's specialist-based auction market structure and experienced professionals create a quality trading environment that promotes...
Liquidity—allows investors to buy and sell quickly, easily and with minimal price impact, a key to building investor confidence
Narrower spreads—the interaction of buyers and sellers results in smaller price differentials between trades
Decreased volatility—specialists consistently maintain a fair and orderly market to minimize volatility
Protection from short selling—the Exchange's uptick rule prohibits investors from selling short a company's stock when it is declining"
mide,
I am very interested in your net accumulation numbers thus far or must we wait for EOD? TIA
Ok then a gentlemans bet of one share of gte stock! :)
To further support my theory; I know we all have seen these type of sells happen before where a sell is way out of whack with the current trading range and it is adjusted either during or end of day to show a different low of the day. Like the sale never happened.
I'm not saying the LOD is wrong or will be changed.
But no way they will have to eat the loss. They are all in bed together and we can only speculate as to how they will GET AWAY with reconciling this.
Again NO WAY they have to buy them back "at prevailing market prices".
GTE off REG SHO list? I don't think so....getting my drift?
Just pure speculation on my part! ;)
Who wants to bet me?
The "error" will be corrected by amex. They sold the half mill shares on open market and that sticks but the other mill sold in "error" will be magically adjusted.
Think it would be better coming from amex themselves. Fat chance that happens.
One word.....MANIPULATION

Doc,
Yes, but remember that it is an oversold vs. overbought indicator like stochastics.

Sir Christopher Meyer to Become Independent Director of GlobeTel Communications, Relinquishes Role as Chairman
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 17, 2006--GlobeTel Communications Corp. (AMEX:GTE) announced that Sir Christopher Meyer, its Non-Executive Chairman, has requested a change in his status, effective March 19, 2006, to that of an Independent Director. As a result of his current professional obligations and commitments in the U.K., Sir Christopher has advised the Board that he feels unable to commit the time to the Chairmanship of GlobeTel that the company's shareholders have the right to expect.
Sir Christopher stated, "I have the highest regard for GlobeTel, and its Officers and Directors. But my pre-existing obligations carry a heavy weight of responsibility within my own country. Thus, I believe I would better serve the company by passing the leadership baton to another qualified individual who is equipped to devote the time and attention that this important job requires."
Ah yes young grasshoppa....
Whats not revolutionary in antiquating the cellular, telecom and cable industries at the same time? Kidding LOL!!!!????
Because they can use 2-3 strats to cover an area the size of texas, you can connect to your wi-max network EVERYWHERE.
"That shift in communications would provide a new price point for voice, DSL and cell coverage (plus others me thinks) to not only the U.S., but for many of the developing countries around the world" (like Brazil).
You mean commoditize because it will all eventually be so cheap? I agree with you there. We will all be walking around with a blackberry type handheld that is a home computer, work computer, cell phone, land phone, tv, wallet (anything I missed?) soon enough (less than 5 yrs?). We will just plug in baby uhh... I mean "transmit" baby.
Have changed my mind about Oanda. Specifically because the e-signal charting, even with the plug-in, is not able to access the data feed from oanda specifically. The charts will not be accurate between the two. Oanda's charting will not work for me which was the whole reason for needing e-signal charts anyway.
Soooo.....Back to GFT and Interbank. Anyone used either of these that could offer some feedback. I like Interbanks charting software. GFT's charting is also good but not as user friendly imo.
I think the term you guys are looking for is "divergence".
thx for the info. That's about what I expected. I opened my account with them and have been using the demo. So far pleased. Let me know if you run into any issues.
Off topic....what part of chicago are you "livin"
good point....economies change, go through ups and downs. How far will/are we heading down is the question.
Growth of other nations economies does have an effect on ours but we currently have no new industry to develop as we have in the past when we have been able to come out of the down cycle. (ex: tech industry after late 70's early 80's stagflation)
I'm hoping it comes out of the alternative energy industry because america (as leader of the free world) and the rest of the world (not to mention mother earth) sorely need it.
Currency trading question:
Any users of Oanda that could give me an idea of the pip spreads they are getting in general? The demo is always 3 total in and out. But they apparently do not guarantee that.
I think the real s will hit the proverbial fan for americans when the cad is worth more than the usd. Could happen this year. Hopefully that will help remove the fog most of the country is under concerning where our economy is heading and more importantly why.
