Doubled my stake today.. still nowhere close to Stan The Man though. LVWD could breakout huge with a bit of exposure. Companies are dying to get a good handle on the ad power of social media, LVWD is there to fill that very real need.
Is this real life!?
This stocks not going anywhere Monday... but Tuesday May be a go.
Getting heated. RSI needs to come down.
There's been steady but quiet accumulation of IACH. I unloaded a bit of my position into this a couple days ago just to pare my exposure. Going to hold the rest and see what happens.
Tight as a turtles' cloaca, you mean
Bad image
POIL PR IS "the rumor", closing of deal will be the news. Current PR is a true buying opportunity, IMO.

POIL is in the buzz cloud, though this room needs defibrillator paddles.
Didn't see that coming. I guess getting high petty high is more lucrative than getting them smarter. Who knew?!
Eying ILIV for a run tomorrow. Pending promo rumors + consolidated share price + undervalued legit company
Good choice of stocks to pump. Tons of potential with ILIV.. Story stock that sells itself.
ILIV= great share structure/great MGMT/great stock. A little buying pressure poped the lid off the .001's. More interest, more $$, more churn and burn coming.
Bollingers tightening. Bull penant, it would appear. ILIV setting up nicely for the next leg up. .002 test might come by the end of the week.
I don't know. I was mocking your initial fill. GLTY
Welcome aboard! A veritable Moby Dick with $1.70 worth!
ILIV picking up volume.. the rise and run will follow.
With a legit business model and MGMT, there will be continued growth, solid news stream and increasingly strong hands in here. Only a matter of time with ILIV.
ILIV is such a buzz-worthy stock. Volume today isn't doing it justice.
Good morning. I'm predicting some good churn today.
I'll take it. Blue chips are getting broadly beaten up.
ILIV - solid consolidated subber ready to rock
After going on the site and trying it out for a couple hours I'm feeling bullish. Not sure timing but .01 could come quickly. If the float remains stable it could continue to roll well beyond that.
I'm pumped for the weekend. Going to give this free trial of mind360 a go.
I'm with you. I'm a bit ambivalent about a momo run at this point. I am positive this will be over a penny on news before too long. It's nice to be able to accumulate in kiddy pool before the tsunami rolls in.
So many fuses lit for this company... ILVI Share price boom is coming
ILIV looking fine. Very sturdy base. There's a lot of new investors believing in the business model and mgmt. News will serve as rocket fuel, but there's potential for pps rises regardless as word spreads.
Thanks for sharing. Nothing better than solid MGMT. So rare in sub penny land.
It would be great to log a few more data points to show a stable share structure.
If investors in here see that there has been no dilution of late, that adds a tremendous amount of confidence. That stimulus alone could get the next leg started.
I haven't felt very excited about a penny play in a long time. I sense a huge opportunity here, but can't justify the next level of $$ without firm DD.
Has anyone been keeping tabs on share structure w/ the TA?
Tesla is not in the same ring as F. F makes much of is money on trucks, for starters.
As far as innovation, F is holding its own with envelope pushing apps and driver assist technologies.
There's no free lunch with electric vehicles either. Their batteries require massive amount of rare earth elements and most electricity these days is not coming from renewables, but coal and natural gas.
Tesla has a very small dealer infrastructure and a niche market at this point.
11:1 bid:ask ratio
Arrow points up for ILIV
Probably smart to get out in front if you are going to mine. With bitcoins, the computational puzzles required to earn a bitcoin get progressively harder, requiring more and more processing power and time.
Very interesting read. When commercial uses and manufacturing materialize, $$$$ will follow. Buyout by MMM would be a lottery-type situation. Hold a small position.. if it pops on that type of news, a little goes a long way.
One of these bitcoin plays is going to mint some millionaires, IMO. It will boil down to MGMT. The last few filings suggest to me that BITCF leadership are aggressive. We'll have to see if they can get the business plan rolling faster than the dilution machine. GLTA
If F falls under $15 I'm going to load the boat.
Interesting point. I find it strange how insiders have also been using social media to spread the word outside of EDGAR. This is beside the point of whether their comments are even true..
Can AAPL lurch north amidst a broad sell-off in equities? Obviously everything hinges on the Q4 earnings. I'm thinking that the top line after an estimate beat will be muted.
Pro tip: TWTR outstanding shares = 1/10 ownership
Good sign:
European Auto Sales Surge Most in Four Years on Lower Prices
Mathieu RosemainJan 16, 2014 4:49 am ET
Jan. 16 (Bloomberg) -- European new-car sales surged the most in almost four years as price cuts by producers such as Renault SA and Ford Motor Co. helped generate a recovery that industry executives say will last in 2014.
Deliveries last month jumped 13 percent to 948,090 vehicles from 839,027 a year earlier, the Brussels-based European Automobile Manufacturers Association, or ACEA, said today. That pared the decline for the year to 1.8 percent for a total of 12.3 million autos, the lowest number since 1995.
Carmakers are predicting a gradual increase in European demand this year after a sovereign-debt crisis and recessions led to a six-year contraction in deliveries through 2013. Consumers replacing old cars may account for some of the recovery, though gains are also being fed by continued incentives from automakers and a government program in Spain to encourage trade-ins of old vehicles for scrapping.
“There’s a good case to say that the car market is improving on an underlying basis,” Sascha Gommel, an analyst at Commerzbank AG in Frankfurt, said by phone. “The fleet aged a lot in Europe over the last years because demand was so low, and you still have very low interest rates.”
Confidence Climbs
The sales increase in December was the steepest since a 13 percent jump in January 2010. It marked the fourth successive month of growth, the longest stretch since the June 2009 through March 2010 period.
Among countries using the euro, economic confidence rose in December to a 2 1/2-year high after an 18-month recession ended in the second quarter. Inflation in the U.K., which isn’t part of the euro zone, slowed in December to 2 percent from 2.1 percent in November, which may allow the Bank of England to maintain interest rates at a record low.
Registrations rose in Europe’s five biggest auto markets, with jumps of 24 percent in the U.K. and 18 percent in Spain, where the government revived a cash-for-clunkers incentive program in October. Growth in another 11 countries exceeded 10 percent, including a doubling of demand in the Netherlands that was propelled by buyers seeking to avoid a government surcharge taking effect in January.
German Discounting
French carmakers PSA Peugeot Citroen and Renault together ranked among the three biggest vehicle discounters in Germany all year, according to industry publication Autohaus PulsSchlag. Ford, which posted a 20 percent European sales surge in December, widened its German price reductions to 12.2 percent that month from 11.5 percent in November. Fiat SpA’s namesake brand, which sold 2.3 percent more cars in the region, pushed its average discount to 14 percent from 13.5 percent.
The ACEA compiles figures for European Union countries plus Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. The group will start including numbers this year from Croatia, which became the 28th EU member in July.
Russian sales rose 4 percent in December to 264,257 cars and light commercial vehicles, boosted by unusually mild weather and customers seeking to take advantage of a car-loan subsidy expiring at the end of 2013, the Moscow-based Association of European Businesses said yesterday in a statement. Deliveries in 2013 fell 5.5 percent to 2.78 million, the first drop following growth averaging 27 percent in the previous three years. Sales this year may decline to about 2.73 million vehicles, the group said.
Aging Vehicles
Vehicles on European roads have been in use for an average seven to eight years, unusually long for that market, prompting buyers to seek new models, Stephen Odell, head of Ford’s business in the region, said in an interview on Jan. 13. At the same time, euro-area unemployment near record highs will hold back growth prospects, he said.
Odell predicted that Ford’s 19 main European car markets will expand as much as 6 percent this year. That compares with a industrywide increase for Europe of 4.2 percent estimated today by Erich Hauser, a London-based automotive analyst at International Strategy & Investment Group, and a minimum 3 percent foreseen by Gommel at Commerzbank.
Demand may be helped as an “unusually high number” of car leases expire this year, leaving consumers and corporate customers to decide whether to keep the model or buy a new one, Hauser said by phone. Another signal of potential growth is a recent increase in used-vehicle prices, as “the saving to be had from a used car gets smaller versus a new car.”
Audi’s Gain
For the second year in a row, the Fiat nameplate was outsold in Europe by Bayerische Motoren Werke AG’s namesake brand, Volkswagen AG’s Audi division and Daimler AG’s Mercedes- Benz, the world’s biggest premium-vehicle manufacturers. Of the three, only Audi posted a sales gain in the region in December, with a 17 percent jump, while Mercedes was the only one reporting full-year growth.
Tata Motors Ltd.’s Jaguar Land Rover luxury division sold 6 percent more cars and sport-utility vehicles in Europe last month, contributing to a 9.5 percent full-year gain for the unit. Volvo Cars, the Swedish maker of premium vehicles owned by China’s Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co., posted a 32 percent jump in European sales in December.
December sales by Munich-based BMW dropped 5.7 percent in Europe, pushing the full-year figure to a 0.6 percent decline.
“Europe still remains quite tough,” Ian Robertson, BMW’s sales chief, said at a North American International Auto Show press conference in Detroit on Jan. 13. “It’s going to take several more years” for the market to reach previous levels. “You still have unemployment,” and “an economy that is extremely fragile.”
Dacia Boost
Group registrations in Europe increased 22 percent at Wolfsburg, Germany-based Volkswagen, the region’s biggest carmaker, and 29 percent at third-ranked Renault, which was bolstered by a 48 percent surge at the entry-level Dacia brand. Second-place Peugeot sold 8.6 percent more cars.
General Motors Co. posted a 13 percent increase as a 22 percent jump at the Opel and Vauxhall divisions based in Europe more than made up for a 29 percent plunge at the Chevrolet brand, which is being withdrawn from the region by the end of 2015. Toyota Motor Corp.’s sales in Europe, where the Japanese carmaker places 10th in sales, rose 11 percent, while demand at Tokyo-based Mitsubishi Motors Corp., the 18th-biggest seller in the market, more than doubled.
Hyundai Motor Co.’s European sales fell 8.4 percent last month, the steepest drop in the region by an Asian carmaker. Seoul-based Hyundai’s sister brand Kia sold 3.5 percent fewer cars in December, while Tokyo-based Honda Motor Co. posted a 0.9 percent decline.
“Many European markets are over the worst of the economic crisis, but recovery will be slow, particularly in the first quarter,” Allan Rushforth, chief operating officer of Hyundai in Europe, said in an e-mail. Hyundai “will continue to develop our sales organically rather than pursuing market-share gains at any cost.”
