They haven't updated with bi-weekly report yet & this for end of Jan which indicates approximately 6500+ short (down about 100 shares from previous bi-weekly report) & some may have opted to close out position b/f deadline so could be higher. Like keeping track of ORF (activity from daily tape excluding pre & A/H) & my sensing is that insiders are responsible for most of the shorting going on here just like they were in the past b/c not enough liquidity for MM's to mess with it.
Tues 2/20 - 83,137 short vol from 87,360 total vol (51,240 buy vol --- 22,285 sell vol ---13,835 unknown vol (Day range $1.04/07)

perfect timing for this news to follow effect notice so maybe it will get it moving a bit.
lol still doesn't negate the fact that OPXS is required to cover material events - they file 8K's to let folks know when they change accountants but say nothing when it comes to $ like this owner or Arland's 15+ mil - go figure!!
Didn't see his name listed anywhere in 2016 10K so what filing did you see his selling listed and/or does "can't know for sure" equate to this being your opinion b/c his 13G for his August purchases was filed with SEC early Oct 16 & his ownership/selling was a material event that OPXS should have covered - just like they should have covered the material event surrounding Arland's 15+ mil lol
lol saw 13G after it hit but haven't been paying much attention to filings. However, still wondering if i missed seeing & had a little time to look for that info in relation to "Alpha being issued all Series C" which brought Brauser back to my attention & got me checking b/c didn't remember seeing his name/ownership in last 10k so went back 2016 10K & not there, which is where he should have been listed....

too funny - am looking for an alleged past SEC case involving another company & was surprised to see a past case relating to what looks like the newest crook to join the OPXS gang >> Ephraim Fields. Amazing how they get out things & end up paying very small fines!
Fraudulent trading: In the Matter of Ephraim Fields, Adm. Proc. File No. 3-13962 (July 8, 2010). This is a settled administrative proceeding against Ephraim Fields, the owner and manager of registered investment adviser Clarus Capital Management and the general partner of Clarus Capital, LLC, a hedge fund. Here, Hawk Corporation, a Cleveland, Ohio based supplier of products used in industrial, agricultural, performance and aerospace, sought to avoid compliance with SOX Section 404. That Section requires the company to evaluate and report on the design and effectiveness of its internal controls. Extensions to comply with Section 404 were issued for, among others, companies with worldwide market values of less than $75 million. For Hawk, the closing price of its shares on June 30, 2006 would determine if it had to comply.
On June 30, 2006, a company executive called Mr. Fields. Based on the call, he concluded that the company wanted to make sure its share value fell below the required dollar level. Accordingly, Mr. Fields had Clarus sell a total of 40,000 shares of Hawk stock in eight limit day orders the day of the call. Since the average daily trading volume is just over 11,000 shares per day, the trades were unusual. The trades were also priced to cap the share price at a level which ensured that Hawk would not have to comply with SOX Section 404. The Order alleges these trades violated the antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws. To resolve the case, Mr. Fields consented to the entry of a cease and desist order and a censure. He also agreed to pay a penalty of $50,000. http://www.secactions.com/the-intent-element-in-a-criminal-securities-case/
listen, i realize that it takes much time to write long posts & i have not asked nor do you need to go into details already outlined on this board. Only requested a link to filing to support your claim that Alpha had been issued all Series C. Didn't remember seeing that & based on the story telling that this board is filled with, i tend to like to see filings to support the stories b/c everyone has an opinion/perspective/theory etc & as the past two investor rip-offs reflect, they have been way off lol. So if you don't have or don't feel like digging for it then not a problem b/c really not that important & changes nothing in relation to these shady insiders, period.
Fri 2/16 - 48+% (1,860 shares) of 3,815 total vol short (1,915 buys @ $1.03-05 ---- 1,900 sells @ $1.00-03)
20180216|OPXS|1860|0|3815|O http://regsho.finra.org/FORFshvol20180216.txt
Only asked you for a link to back up your claim about Alpha being issued most all of the series C which you seemed to have located fairly recently b/c you posted "I don't know exactly how many series C Alpha controlled to start.." end of Dec. https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=137261169
Additionally, have already stated that you are telling the same story that has been told before & seems to me that answering questions & providing info was something i have also done for you as i have gotten my answers - dug very deep here & know more about these insiders/company than most & am back on working on case for SEC so guess there is no link to show that Alpha was issued most of the Series C stock & thanks anyway.
Request concerning >> "If U look up whom the series C were issued to U'd see 100% going to Alpha" --- really don't want to get into digging back into these filings again so would appreciate the same consideration i have given to via providing link with page # & most especially since this was a recent find for you b/c you claimed in a post around the end of Dec that you did not know how many series C Alpha started with which seems to have changed so help me out here! Thanks!
Not a problem & thanks for explaining those 16 shares - missed that Jan 2017 ref but this is an area that i'm working on learning/understanding BUT just wish it was with a better company rather than this scam thing that likes to change/complicate things lol. Have pulled all series C #'s from filings & will go back & add 75,000 commons listed in latest Q to the 75,000 commons they had listed as of 1/17 - had all of 2017 to correct that but they just kept on listing 40 series C in 2016 (2 separate conversions) - go figure.
Additionally, when i get more time, i am planning to go back to look for Alpha info that you indicated & if what you say is true & he was in fact issued most all of the series c convertible stock then think something like form 3 or 4 should have been filed with SEC which i have seen listed when checking other company insider info out? And last but not least, we already covered that 2010 filing that claimed that Alpha allegedly sold his OPXS DE shares to Arland that OPXS DE never issued to him to sell so mute point & is not relevant imo & all you gotta do is scroll back a bit to locate those conversations we had. Not to mention, nothing in filings concerning the disappearance of Arland's & his 15+ mil or him reselling his stake back to Alpha etc which most certainly should have been covered imo.
thanks & simple for you maybe but not that simple for me lol. However the simple math concerning the 78 shares i get but words in red are a bit confusing along with ref concerning 16 series C at bottom BUT doesn't really matter anyway b/c same Alpha conversion/selling story - just a different year with a different series stock is all.
...most of it going to Longview in return of the settlement of big chunk of debt which BTW was what first got me more excited about the company Longview went from being a debt holder in complete control to a common holder like me. ... Forgot to address this & has been awhile since my OPXS DD days & no need to let me know if you are not interested - just throwing this out here b/c i know these insider's game better than most so might wanna explore South Texas Oil b/c believe something similar happened there.
And fwtiw - played mod on this board a few years back & had no problems ignoring some posts so feel free to ignore mine rather than resort to personal attacks in the future b/c not cool imo.
10Q - Series C
not embarrassing myself at all & believe you "claimed" to prefer the annul report when i referenced something from a 10q so used your preferred report. SO you gotta link to prove that story about Alpha being issued most all Series C b/c company annul report clearly states they had almost half series c left as of October 2017.
And too bad i didn't take a page out your book with some your mistakes so let's try to play nice in this sandbox lol
Series C Stock -- Ok so your posts today inspired me to double check filings & just so you know, have not seen anything indicating the C stock was "issued all pretty much to Alpha" which you indicated was the case in your post here https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=138578456.
Not to mention, last 10K pretty much negates this "story" too b/c company claims there are still 174 preferred Series C outstanding which almost half of the initial 400 so...
you need to say what you mean & stop twisting things b/c Alpha's 11/17 13G filing clearly negates what you initially said
not twisting anything. You said "Per the latest annual, Alpha was down to like 700k+ total" & Alpha's 13G listing his 818,190 shares was filed on 11/7 which means he had to sell his 1 mil in approximately 5 weeks so not sure who was selling the 1 mil you were talking about in June b/c wasn't him.
lol a lot of Alpha selling in approximately 5 weeks time & "they've dumped about 1 million shares into the market with a majority of it since June 2017 as far as I can tell based on when series C were being converted from time to time" must be null & void now BUT don't think OPXS has even traded 1 mil shares from Nov to Dec..
lol you really need to go back & check filings or read this thread!!
Here is something else from filings while you are pondering the Series C. (Ephraim fields 12/26/17 13G did not make list with 5% holders & Gate City increased stake after POS filing.)
13G - Alpha @ 818,190 shares https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1140358/000121390017011813/sc13g1117alpha_optex.htm
POS pg 55 - Alpha currently @ 734,959 https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1397016/000161577418000801/s108897_posam.htm
13G - Gate City Capital @ 410,400 shares https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1397016/000139834417006202/fp0025764_sc13g.htm
POS pg 55 (company added a few extra here) Gate City Capital @ 410,410 https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1397016/000161577418000801/s108897_posam.htm
no conspiracy & is known fact that insiders have ripped off their investors 2x in a row & no way Alpha's selling alone was responsible for this!!
All except 38 shares from 23,338 total vol short (8,300 buys @ $1.02-04 ---15,038 sells @ $1.00-01)
20180215|OPXS|23300|0|23338|O
No, this was not your initial request which was >> "Show me where Alpha had been actively selling their position..." & i let you know this info is in this thread but can also dig into past filings like others before you did to find this info too.
And you are kidding yourself if you think/believe they will run out shares - can always pull more from that 2 BILLION A/S lol
whatever & i rest my case too. You are not the first person to post info from filings in relation to Alpha so you are telling the same story just in a different year is all lol
have suggested several times that you go back & read this entire thread which i have done so not into going back & pulling anything up for you but can tell you that your posts about Alpha selling are not the first posts on this board & this broken record will probably be played until the bitter end, as he is allegedly the bad guy here & his selling is the problem blah-blah
Same Alpha story just a different year... AND that "POS" definitely does apply here for sure lol
Once again - Longview/Alpha/Hirschman started this company & Alpha didn't leave the building back in 2014/2015 so highly unlikely he will be leaving this time either. And didn't just notice POS & maybe you missed the effect notice today?
lol >> "...We anticipate we may have to raise additional capital in the future to service our debt and to finance our future working capital needs..." pg.9 https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1397016/000161577418000801/s108897_posam.htm
not sure i understand what you mean by "fintel" so are you talking about financial intelligence & if so then good that it's meaningless b/c opxs likes to hang out in ranges for years. 01-02 was its favorite resting place but campaigns/pumps got it moving so some $ to be made for those that play them - like the last er here that brought about 20 cents to the players that caught it early lol
PS - Redburns comment was right on, didn't even have any er players this time so no spike to $1.20 with this win. In addition to ripping their investors off, company has also destroyed their rep/cred etc which will take YEARS to undo if it is even possible & that is assuming they are trying to change their m/o, which i don't believe for one second! i tend to learn from history & might fool me once but not twice lol
PPS/shorting is telling the real story imo & i too focus on fundamentals which is how i caught the bs in this OTC scam company's filings...
Wed (ER day) - 14,941 shares from 26,741 total vol short - (5,620 buys .95-$1.02 --- 18,666 sells .93-$1.01 -- 2,455 unknown - .97- $1.01)
20180214|OPXS|14941|0|26741|O http://regsho.finra.org/FORFshvol20180214.txt
Tues 2/13 - 2000 shares of 3956 total vol short (1756 buys @ .99 -- 2200 sells @ .94)
20180213|OPXS|2000|0|3956|O http://regsho.finra.org/FORFshvol20180213.txt
completely understand but like it or not, OPXS chart clearly reflects this is a P&D company & all spikes in chart coincide with promotional campaigns/pumps which i broke down/lined up in a post way back. And what i meant by clean-up work was the clean-up work the company allegedly did after their 2nd investor rip-off in order to give themselves more play time to keep on doing what they have been doing since inception b/c imo, highly unlikely that these cheetahs are gonna change into some other critter at this point in their business careers!!
In any event, truly wish you the best & like i said back in 2014 after extensive digging that had me going all over the place to uncover the facts/truth, will have no problems admitting if my assessment is wrong but it wasn't then & i highly doubt it will be this time around either...
rotfl relaying facts is not bitter in my book & knock yourself out trusting them OTC filings from a scam company that has ripped their investors off 2x in a row since inception b/c they (whoever they are) say the third time's a charm :)
Puh-lease - back to back profits still under $20M & within old ranges before toxic financing etc + pps still range bound & way under 01 cent (pre r/s) & clearly needs another pump to get it popping. And i rest my case about the OTC filings & again you are only fooling yourself if you think Alpha is going anywhere - started this scam with Longview/Hirschman and they will get every drop of milk before leaving which is what they do with every company so let's see what happens in another year b/c they bought themselves some more play time with that alleged clean-up work lol
lol have seen way too many OPXS hypothetical stories over the years so gotta link to filings to back up your claim that Alpha "took over" (bought back) Arland's shares because 2010 filings claim Alpha allegedly sold his OPXS DE shares to Arland even though 2009 filings reflect that Alpha was never issued any OPXS DE shares to sell & don't believe SMID ripped their investors off two times in a row or did any splits etc, etc
once again - cannot trust "OTC" filings from a scam company that set everything up to rip their investors off right out of the gate in 2009 & then again 2014/15 plus still would like to know what happened to Arland & his 15+M who just disappeared from the filings without any explanation lol.
