FINRA says that 78.2% of the shares today were shorts. That's pretty high.

I also can't see it. It's not even listed as a trade on the iHub trades page:

harbecu, what's the total # of trades and volume you see for the day?

Excellent point. I suppose they can manipulate "no news" into "bad news." I'm going to free up a few more dollars to buy some more, but I'm maxed for this week. Time to sit back, relax with a cold beverage, and enjoy the ride.

You gotta stop looking at the day to day and relax. As the endgame gets closer, it's hard to keep the emotions in check, but you have to or you'll go insane. Things don't happen overnight.

I really really really want to see an uplisting. Not that I don't have confidence now, but that would be the icing on the cake for me. It would say "we have decent revenues and we're here to stay."

I was being sarcastic. I've watched it happen on L2 many times. I suspected something but never thought much of it until I started following the people here and listening to their experience.

That's impossible. People must be trying to unload millions of shares into this fair market during the 0.04 drop. There's no way any MM would hold up an order that needs to be filled!

NITE is blowing all the other MM's out of the water today. Look at their trades and volume:

Interesting. I don't fully understand the triggers that make these happen, but I will certainly take your experienced word for it. It's a lot to digest.

Someone posted that Nazir said within the next 90 days. I'm not buying it though. It makes more sense to spring it on the MM's rather than give them time to prepare. So I am predicting it will be much earlier. He's already had a month and a half as well. It can't take that long to prepare the paperwork.

30 minutes and they won't fill at the ask??? Wow...

I don't know how either.

I wonder when a couple of big hitters are going to be coming in. Rumor has it they are there watching from the shadows.

At least you acknowledge it is your opinion and not fact.

Additional Information

I'd be a bit surprised if it took that long. For maximum effect he would probably want to spring it on everyone via PR so the MM's aren't prepared for it. But who knows, he might have to get a lot of financial and legal data in order first.

It completely is! If it isn't wrapped in yellow, I don't even want to eat it.

Has anyone tried employing strategies from the Monkinar on other stocks such as BRK.B or similar?

Every time I read one of your posts, I think of burritos wrapped in yellow paper for at least the next half hour. I need to get back out to SD soon.

Actually, I guess it doesn't matter. It's an FLD and they don't control it in an FLD. Plus, they still make piles of money, regardless of the plays here in Monk's Den. It will take a lot more to make them stop.

Hmm...do we really want to make a front page anywhere or change the way market makers do business anytime soon?

That should be part of the Monkinar. Not just how to day trade, but how to convince your significant other to let you day trade.

It's extremely encouraging to watch and learn from and be a part of this team. I am excited for all that lies ahead and happy for those who are already realizing their dreams. The best part is how willing everyone is to help each other and educate the new people like myself. I fully intend to carry that on and contribute when I am able.

Man, that is so true. You could not have said that any better. If anything, you might see day traders decline for the near future because the cost of living is increasing, wages are decreasing, and the economy is squeezing everyone for their cash and savings right now.

Oh yeah, I understand. There are lots of things happening at once this week that can not possibly be a coincidence. :)

Oohhh....that's right. Only the MM's and our total shareholder count know how many naked shorts there are. Nonetheless, what's the reason it was reported so late this time? I'm assuming this report comes from the MM's and they are the reason it was tardy.

This is weird. According to www.otcmarkets.com, short interest is supposed to be reported every 15 days. CDIV has been reported on schedule every time up until the beginning of this month. It was finally reported today, May 11. Anyone know why this would be reported a week and a half late? The next one is due Friday.

They can't simulate a panic right now can they? With the float locked down so strongly, the panic can only go so far. I know the MM's have a lot of control over prices, but they don't have a complete monopoly due to the inherent competition amongst theirselves.

It looks like they are shorting a little less recently? Maybe a sign of a change of tactics?

I think understanding the F's is a major component as well. I don't know how yet nor have the funds to be involved, but there are core people on the team who are making money daily, which allows them to pay bills and continue to add to their positions in the FLD's. So it isn't as if everyone is all-in at some point and buying stops. The buying pressure continues and perhaps gets stronger all the way until the end.

Thanks VZ, that appears to be a pretty decisive indicator of what is about to happen when it is compared with CDIV.

There were 215,230 shares traded today. I'm not sure that the 10,000 or less shorts have anything to do with it, but I highly doubt CDIV will be off the list today.

Each time I've seen the stock take one of those quick dives, I've never been able to actually get it filled there are even close to it.

You think so? I know the volume of the trades were higher than a normal MM toss around (10,000 + 3,743), but if my screen was updated right, it completely skipped the bid by 0.03.

That was amazing. That looked like a coordinated move if I ever saw one.

Higher highs, higher lows. It looks a popcorn machine that's heating up.

I did for 100 shares. I had a few coins rolling around on the floor of my account so I donated them to the cause. That's all for me for a while though. :)

That is extremely informative, thanks for reposting that. I've heard excerpts from it here and there but never the entire post from start to finish. I will keep that one around for future reference. Thanks!
