Quiet Period
The federal securities laws do not define the term "quiet period," which is also referred to as the "waiting period." However, historically, a quiet period extended from the time a company files a registration statement with the SEC until SEC staff declared the registration statement "effective." During that period, the federal securities laws limited what information a company and related parties can release to the public.
On June 29, 2005, the Commission voted to adopt modifications to the registration, communications, and offering processes under the Securities Act of 1933. Among many other provisions, the rules update and liberalize permitted offering activity and communications to allow more information to reach investors by revising the "gun-jumping" provisions under the Securities Act. The cumulative effects of these rules are as follows:
Well-known seasoned issuers are permitted to engage at any time in oral and written communications, including use at any time of a new type of written communication called a "free writing prospectus," subject to enumerated conditions (including, in some cases, filing with the Commission).
All reporting issuers are, at any time, permitted to continue to publish regularly released factual business information and forward-looking information.
Non-reporting issuers are, at any time, permitted to continue to publish factual business information that is regularly released and intended for use by persons other than in their capacity as investors or potential investors.
Communications by issuers more than 30 days before filing a registration statement will be permitted so long as they do not reference a securities offering that is the subject of a registration statement.
All issuers and other offering participants will be permitted to use a free writing prospectus after the filing of the registration statement, subject to enumerated conditions (including, in some cases, filing with the Commission). Offering participants, other than the issuer, will be liable for a free writing prospectus only if they use, refer to, or participate in the planning and use of the free writing prospectus by another offering participant who uses it. Issuers will have liability for any issuer information contained in any other offering participant's free writing prospectus as well as any free writing prospectus they prepare, use, or refer to.
The exclusions form the definition of prospectus are expanded to allow a broader category of routine communications regarding issuers, offerings, and procedural matters, such as communications about the schedule for an offering or about account-opening procedures.
The exemptions for research reports are expanded.
A number of these new rules include conditions of eligibility. Most of the rules, for example, are not available to blank check companies, penny stock issuers, or shell companies.
The rules address the treatment under the Securities Act of electronic communications, including electronic road shows and information located on or hyperlinked to an issuer's website. The rules define written communication as any communication that is written, printed, a radio or television broadcast, or a graphic communication. The definition of graphic communication and, thus, electronic road show excludes communications that are carried live and in real-time to a live audience, regardless of the means of transmission. Electronic road shows for initial public offerings of common equity or convertible equity securities will have to make a bona fide electronic road show readily available to an unrestricted audience to avoid filing the electronic road show with the Commission. No other road shows will be subject to filing.
The effective date of the rules is December 5, 2005. For more information, please see Release No. 33-8591 — Securities Offering Reform.
well i'm in again at 0.09, but HISC now down 11% and trades of 0.88 going through
not sure what to make of the 250,000 & 260,000 & 483,000 sells that just went buy at 0.09 - i have an order in for 0.09
tentatively looking at being able to get 4 chucks - first one at 0.095 (but i just pulled that after seeing 0.093 go by) - then 0.09, 0.085 to 0.08, and the last one, if it got there would be 0.075 to 0.07
come on down HISC i want to buy you again
IMX, OSIS, IDNX, TASR, IPIX all up today
maybe MM's loading up for some great news coming
although TASR is "broken" at what point might it become a buy? thanks!
thanks for the humor
way to serious on this board - to many trying to cut you down on common sense items - they're defensive about a potentially great stock - i've been long and hope to be long again - you'd think i was bashing it or something
have a great evening
you win
i know nothing
and how do you define rich?
do you have a "family office" running your 100's of millions?
ok forget that - you don't
(and i didn't have any bitter experiences - i'm as happy as can be taking profits along the way)
are you willing to bet all the money you made in HISC that MSFT will go to 0.01? no, did you say no? then i guess i know a little about risk management
you have your opinion and i have mine - good luck to both of us
MSFT won't be at 0.01 tomorrow but HISC may be - you have a lot longer ride time on MSFT before your money runs out than HISC - that just may be a "guarantee"
good luck all - don't mean to offend folks here
didn't realize you were in this conversation - maybe you don't know how we are equating what we are saying?
sorry for being naive
we are talking about degree of risk not guarantee like some others on this thread seem to think HISC may be in the long run
yep, if it couldn't be said about any stock we'd all be billionaires (i don't mind being picked on <lol>)
but some are safer than others if you want to perserve some capital along the way
perfect
i like the diversification and i like the swing trader part
you are probably correct - i don't play the pennies that much - probably does call for a different strategy
of course betting it all on one stock doesn't sit well with me
one piece of news explodes it higher or crushes it
i guess thats what you are expecting from the pennies
this was an interesting play for me - it intrigued me - good sector going forward - lots of potential - but not willing to wait 6 months or 2 years for the port idea to come into play
i'll be long again before long .... good luck
and if i make $50,000 catching it on the run i guess i live with missing out on $5,000 by not having stayed long all along
small price to pay to being able to sleep at night
"Can't afford to leave it?" Not talking about me, but some on this thread may only be trading with $2-4000
would you have them put it all in HISC and sit and wait to see what happens? i would not
one slip up and HISC could be worthless
one part on the cyber tracker not be shipped and casuing production delays and this stock tanks!
one other company getting a port contract and this stock tanks
the Bush guy quits and this stock tanks
no one knows for sure this stock is going up - potential yes - for sure ... absolutely not
nothing wrong with sitting on 50,000 shares if you have nothing better to do with $4000 - i would assume the folks on this thread run the gambit of trading a couple thousand dollars to those trading the IRA in the hundreds of thousands
if you can't afford to leave the $4000 sit for 6 months or even risk losing it, then don't park your $4000 in HISC - try MSFT for some safety
probably - at some point for sure - when is the question? - in another month if i trade it 3 more times for gains i'll be real happy while those folks are waiting for 15 to hit - as soon at it hits 0.10 or 0.11 i'll be back in for the ride to 15 as well
i hear you - praying and hoping for lower reentry
i'm not a long term holder any more - been in to many that continued down and down and further down
changed my strategy to give up some gain on the way up but be in a position to jump on it once it starts moving again
this is the 3rd profit i've taken out of HISC so far - if i had held i wouldn't have any yet - just paper gains - and with these profits i buy more and more shares each time i enter
i'm out at 0.091 & 0.089 today (in at 0.071 & 0.063)
i'll take the profits and chance being able to pick it up again between 0.075 and 0.08 next week
if it takes out 0.10 without me i'll consider chasing it from there as well
i like seeing actual profits and not just paper gains <VBG>
ok thanks - it looked a little cheesy
nice ... but their stock was up 40-some % today
would you take that for a day trade or want to hold onto HISC for 3-6-9 months hoping 0.50 comes around???
i want both <VBG>
old article but no mention of HISC here

because if their test pan out ... Sniffex, Inc. is the holder of the license to sell Sniffex, an explosives detection device, in most areas of the world
not just Lebanon
and since they are testing with the Army the US gov't will print greenbacks to buy their product
i was responding to a comment that this was the best buying opp you are going to find - i didn't say it wasn't a good one - hence, i bought some yesterday - i would say buying IMX yesterday was a better buying opp than buying HISC - IMX is selling and closing contacts - HISC is still in the wishful thinking mode - you can always jump on the bandwagon on the way up but forgetting to get off on the way down is the killer
news not that well received at the open - should have kicked it up a little more don't you think? - company doesn't appear to be trading on possibilities any more - folks want concrete deals now - not many shares traded at all - no one is buying this news
thanks - and best of luck to you as well - go HISC!
very nice - don't know to many people will to risk $32,000 on a penny stock make $216,000 - but you nailed it - awesome job!
"best buying opportunity you are going to find"
not if it goes to 0.05 tomorrow or 0.04 the next day
i said don't fall in love with it and use stops
but just got ridiculed
who is laughing now?
hate to be a holder for 0.13 or 0.11 or 0.09
i'm long from 0.63 today but have a stop in place so as to lose only commission $$$
i'd like to see a close of 0.075 or higher - HISC wide spreads now 0.69 x 0.74
for better or for worse ... loaded up at 0.071
earnings release not bad - but HISC needs to stay on top of things or a slow, slow, slow price decline will take place
i'll be at the Hard Rock in two weeks - were are you staying? hot enough there for you?
i think the other factor is how much money you are dealing with and how much you can afford to lose
if you put $25,000 into this stock and can't afford to lose it you better have a stop in place (somewhere, not necessarily at 7-8-9% on a penny - maybe 20%)
if you have $5000 into HISC but are trading $150,000 portfolio then sure the heck with a stop and you can afford to lose it - tuck it away and check it in 6 months (not my style)
and i don't mean to be arguementative, but i think stops are more important if you "are away from the action" - if you can sit at the computer screen all day and know what is going on and react accordingly then less need for a stop - again just my trading style - i don't like waiting months for my stock to recover to my purchase price - i can use that time and money to make it back somewhere else (probably not on a penny stock though)
at least we one thing in common - GO HISC!
"for every one of those events the are a hundred of the other"
since it works for you that's great - but i would argue the total opposite of what you say is true (unless you are only talking penny stocks - if you are talking every stock every situation then my philosophy is different from yours)
if you can park your money and hold a stock for a long long time hoping it will recover then the more power to you
i have limited funds and like to trade so i'll take getting stopped out and look for another opportunity (maybe the same stock 30 minutes later) to put my money to work - i hate having dead money - money that sits waiting for recovery
how do you handle not having stops and having your stocks go down and not bounce back up with a week or month? or are you that good a trader/investor you never have a loss?
appreciate the info "mr. hbo" <vbg>
i believed you and thanks for the education on real estate - i also believe great things are on the horizon if they can execute - let's make some money! go HISC
if this were easy we'd all be rich
if the CyberTracker doesn't work as stated or if someone else gets a contract HISC is going after then this stock heads down
no one knows for sure what will happen
i am long and hoping for the best - just always on guard
"dont ever ever ever ever ever use a stop loss"
disagree with you 110% on your trading philosophy - but thats okay - we're allowed to have our own styles
always use them - some looser than others - but used none the less
good luck
you can always buy on the way back up with a buy stop
or you can watch it fall and fall some more and then wait and pray everyday until it gets back to the price you bought it
i keep a little position and trade the trend with the other
i'd rather miss a few pennies on the upside than watch lots of pennies going to the downside
just my style
and again, i am long and like this stock - lots of potential - just being patient waiting for it to come true
gothcha - agreed
none taken
"representing a seller" - what about representing the buyer?
if you told me that 50% discount was a fluke and buy it at the going rate i'd find another agent willing to try to get me a better price
do you buy a house at full price thinking in 10 years the value will go up? i don't think so. i think we always are looking for a something off (grocery shopping sales, car sales, clothes sales)
some on this thread were saying to hold on - don't sell - and those that bought at 0.10 thru 0.14 are looing at HISC yesterday showing 0.07 at one point and wondering what is going on - and all i said was don't fall in love with the stock - trade the trend
i suppose if you have money to lose and are going to hold forever and willing to risk this one fizzling out then by all means see you at the alter
everyone has their own style - mine suits me and is not for everyone - but i'll tell you i'm not holding YHOO from over 100 like some are
good luck to us both
