no reply necessary, I see what you were inferring from the follow-up posts. thx
mide,
"Besides the Strat" I think is a bit unfair.
The GlobeTel Super Hub™ Network is imo revolutionary vs. evolutionary.
The IP Telephony, Stored Value Cards, Wireless Solutions business units are an "integrated platform" under the Super Hub. Within each there are unique, proprietary systems and/or products.
But you know all that....Is your point that not enough people do know? That most (retail and business) still view the company as a one trick pony? You have posted before (and I wholeheartedly agree) about GTE's lack of effective,substantive marketing.
All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.
- Arthur Schopenhauer
The proof is in the pudding so to speak. Or from my generation "Where's the beef?"
The current truth is pretty much self-evident for the disbelievers in GTE, the Seth Jaysons, Zach Prensky's and ambulance chasing lawyers whom rabid shareholders have opposed, no dare I say, harrassed with blasting spam mail and stealth covert spy missions to gather intel from within the enemies stronghold.
I however see it like this:
1st stage: make fun of the silly blimp company
2nd stage: lawsuits
3rd stage: valid contracts/money making big name partnerships for the unique technologies that most here invested in the company for.

While what you are posting is true Villas it is still about numbers. The market that centerline is in is not the true legacy market as most telecoms. The international callback or store and forward is higher margin than the run of the mill that most of us associate with the communications business. The business that will carry GTE into the Strat and wireless is mostly high margin, prepaid, and international. This international aspect of thier connectivity is probably the primary reason opportunities have come to the firm from non USA sources. The transition to wireless components sales could be a big winner if they are successful in the market place. But the competition will not be stepping aside so getting volume up to a high level isn't a cake walk.
The path management is taking to establish cash flow for expansion is not unreasonable. The obvious key is to grow the heck out of revenue and keep costs as low as possible. Paying with stock is a tried and true way. Been used by many a firm. Yes, it is disconcerting to know that the information flow is so delayed. I am willing to bet that if the corner is turned information will speed up. Despite the opinion of many, the management team is doing some good things and certainly were not standing behind the door when beans were being passed out. The key numbers every quarter are rapidly rising revenue in all divisions/companies. Just hope they will go beyond 25mm in the report this week. With this we should begin to have more favorable reports and opinions and a rising stock price. It is foolish, in my opinion, to feel that it is going to shoot up without a large contract for wireless. But I'll take a bunch of small ones with continually growing revenue. This will probably put less strain on the company than a large one.
Ok I hate to do this but....lil help pls
I am leaning towards Oanda to trade with. Could someone supply me with a link to the GSF? website I have seen some posting about?
Also looking for advice on charting (prefer realtime). As a trader I would use stockcharts.com because I love their charting and then get live data through etrade. Most have advised esignal thus far. Any others and why? TIA
I agree...I hate to be a doomsayer but the timing of certain events happening could make for a "perfect storm" for the dollar....one of the reasons why I am taking my money out of equities and into trading currencies against the dollar. Sorry for the post length.
“Bernake is making markets nervous"
http://business.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,8209-2159279,00.html
good article....to bad imo author blows it at at the end with the last two paragraphs.
"With a tough and credible anti-inflationary policy, the dollar would have little to worry about, since its status as the world’s reserve currency would remain unchallenged. But under a less credible Fed chairman, the dollar really could go into a temporary free-fall."
Yeah right, blame the coming demise of the dollar on Bernake, like him or not, you can't blame him for something set in motion decades ago (coming off the gold standard Bretton Woods system in 1971 to fiat money) although it may have been the right decision then. We know if other countries could buy oil with a currency other than the dollar (hmmm like say the Iranian Oil Bourse) they would hold more of that currency (probably euro) and less dollars.
"Equity markets, by contrast, enjoy some very solid long-term fundamentals, so maybe equity investors can afford to relax with Mr. Benanke and wait to see if the Fed’s economic forecasts turn out to be right."
Dow near all-time highs and huge economic slow down eminent do not = "keep my money in stocks" to me!
Stagflation is thought to occur when there is an adverse shock (a sudden increase, say in the price of oil) in a country's aggregate supply curve.
Supply-side economics will not help us out of this "stagflation" and will only snowball whats really happening.....longer term deflation.
Supply-side economics emerged as a response to US stagflation in the 1970s. It encourages increased production, rather than attempts to stimulate demand.
So increase production of goods and services when they should decrease. Most americans have no savings and no more equity to tap to spend more. Add in lower wages (due to manufacturing and more skilled labor outsourced overseas) and you have to much supply which means....
Deflation, a decrease in the general price level, or the rise in the purchasing power of money with respect to a "basket" of goods and services, over a period of time.
The 'general price level' comprises the price of wages, and consumption of goods and services.
Deflation is generally regarded as a negative in modern currency environments, because a deflationary spiral may cause large falls in GDP and purchasing power, and may take a very long time to correct.
just my opinion of course
"Support levels are usually below the current price, but it is not uncommon for a security to trade at or near support. Technical analysis is not an exact science and it is sometimes difficult to set exact support levels. In addition, price movements can be volatile and dip below support briefly. Sometimes it does not seem logical to consider a support level broken if the price closes 1/8 below the established support level. For this reason, some traders and investors establish support zones."
It's difficult to determine an exact price support but yes $1.30ish is it for now on the weekly.
Here is an example of broken support on our daily chart....
design,
This link will help you understand support and resistance better. Then you can look at the weekly chart and you'll see where our current support is at. (Hint: look for the blue horizontal line) Hope this helps!

I finally found a forum on ihub for forex! Been paper trading for a month now. Still have some questions but have been doing my research.
The biggest question I have is....Why did I waste years of my life "investing" in equities?!
Just wanted to post a quick hello to all here....I will be reading the previous posts over the next few days to catch up.
After spending the last year as a fulltime trader, I looked into currency trading. For to many macroeconomic reasons to list in one post really, lets just say I want to sell my house, dog, and anything else (except for a particular stock transat5 and I share in common) to trade against the dollar bigtime.
Look forward to gaining knowledge here and hopefully one day passing that on to others as more and more people realize the benefits of trading currency.
fwiw
Would like to see the weekly candle close above the support line this week and obviously following (with concrete positive info from co. to boot), forming a double bottom.
Otherwise, next stop at $1....
Barring Huff's self imposed objectives not being met, too much potential positive news this summer for a repeat of last years "dog days of summer" decline. (Yes I know shareholders need performance now not potential)
Either current support or $1 will stick. Depends on timing of company objectives being met and when that is made public.
justfrank,
Maybe we could get a clarification of what "odd positions here and there" is actually. Infers small lots to me....and it doesn't seem to increase or decrease with daily volume either?
Thanks for the investigative reporting!
mkatich,
Welcome to the board! Please read the board header to understand more about what topics your posts should contain and feel free to ask questions about what you don't understand.
Although I would say that most posters are, you don't need to be a supporter of the company itself. It's technical analysis. There are posters here of various levels of investing/trading experience and we want everyone to post. Posts of "differing" opinions are not deleted, rather, they are encouraged. However posts that are not relevant to the purpose of the board, or are not supported could be.
"...And the way it is happening, the price, TA & charts are not showing accumulation."
But in who's eyes are we looking at accumulation through? "Retail" or "Big guys"?
Your explanation hit the nail on the head! In other words WE (Retail) think the signs of accumulation should be consistent increase in price, volume etc... but is that what "Big guys" accumulation looks like?
Low you really have that tin foil hat tuned to the right frequency!
and maybe we ARE seeing accumulation in the TA....

Chaikin Oscillator
Justfrank here is some more divergence ammo for a reversal.
"...movements in the Accumulation/Distribution Line are usually preceded by corresponding divergences in the Chaikin Oscillator." I'm not as experienced with this indicator but it's interesting.
Think about lowtrades recent post about the AH activity and then look at when the divergence began on the chart. "WOW, I coulda had a V8." Anyone here old enough to remember those V8 juice commercials? Anyway, lot's of theories about this topic from others so I won't expound on it.
Still waiting on the MFI 14, and RSI 14 to follow the %B 20 crossover for some confirmation. Not the immediate pop I was expecting though. Will still need consistent, above avg. volume when these and other indicators confirm or the "reversal" will not even register on the Richter.
And we know all to well what that would mean for short term price....especially with all the other "goings ons".
mide and all,
Does make for a tempting swing trade though doesn't it? I like those three indicators for a short term reversal from extreme oversold conditions.
If the company were to "do that which shall not be named" (release positive, substantive news oops I said it) the price would find the support it did not get in last years situation and much more. Obviously a big "if" depending on when/what is released.
The love/hate relationship between this stock and "news" continues....a long month of may for shareholders if none comes.
AUGUST O5
Interesting reading those posts from last year. Deja vu?
Look at the three indicators on the bottom of this chart (RSI 14, MFI 14, %BB 20,2) All three must be below their "oversold" lines at the same time. I don't normally use a 9 month daily chart btw.
ryantennis,
Please peruse http://www.investigatethesec.com/MediaLinks.php
for a large collection of information re: naked shorting.
Tons of links to newsletters, petitions, news articles, websites, congressional reports, organizations, info on other companies currently in the news, and the SEC's FAQ on Regulation SHO here: http://www.sec.gov/divisions/marketreg/mrfaqregsho1204.htm
CLARITY
Think about what this means....
Todays large movement in the stock price was "caused" by a single web article, from a 2nd or 3rd "tier" information medium.
You would think it was from the Wall Street Journal.
Much ado about nothing?
Now say it again....
ask yourself how this can happen.
We are beyond the school yard MM manipulation of the good ol' OTC days and into the AAA minor leagues now with bigger players. The company and it's smaller shareholders have not adjusted accordingly. We are reacting with finger pointing at the high and in fastball rather than knocking it out of the park.
Until more of the companies parts move into the part of the business cycle where it PROVES it can earn profits via signed contracts, this makes TA very difficult to interpret the way we are used to doing it. There are indicators we need to be looking at that are not on the charts.
I don't know exactly what they are yet but some wise ones here are speculating as to what they may be. Hopefully we can put our finger on them, apply it to the TA and make some money or at least preserve some capital.
fwiw

billy,
damn I was paying to much attn. to GTE and missed out on this one popping. Interesting chart....looks like someone knew something doesn't it? Maybe I'm just bitter cuz I sold for under a buck.
crash,
You are correct that we are in an oversold position (daily and weekly btw)looking at stoch, rsi, and Wm%r indicators at most settings.
If we were a more "consistent" stock, I would agree with you that now would be a great time to buy however if you notice there was a time last year when we were technically oversold on the weekly chart from june to october while price continued to go down!
Of course we didn't know then what we know now about russian opportunity though we were waiting on stratellite news.
Unfortunately for all but the most experienced traders and the real longs this stock is still news driven and very risky to trade solely based on TA.
She is about to pop out of that tight band one way or the other! A little bit of divergence between chi osc and accum/dist. Other than that not much to 6 mo. chart boys. So we wait....
Still looking to reenter on pullback....
I guess it will all depend on what the news is for us. I have a long position but would love to get back some swing trade losses when we first came to amex last year. I just filed those away as "TA education expense" lol! Will sure be anti-climatic if it's something unrelated to "material change in business"! glty
Did you place before we were halted? If you placed the same order now and trading resumes at different pricing ex: bid 3.00 ask 3.01 wouldn't that affect the 10 cent above current ask price rule and keep you from getting filled?
Have you already placed it? Meaning "if" news is bad, it could execute anyway?
Would it increase chances of getting filled if you place an order NOW? Anyone have any orders already in that haven't triggered yet?
could it possibly be because of our non-compliance issues?
For the TA followers:
After watching the level 2 the past few days, I saw large resistance at 7.15 and we finally broke that after lunch today. I would like to see a close above that and look for that to be support with next real resistance at 7.50. Let's hope this is the confirmation of the next upwards trend.
unix,
I was impatient with this one back last year and quit playing it. I like the chart setup on the weekly for a move up so I got in. I have been accumulating since 7.50 down to 6.80.
Possible explanations for the weakness:
Long trend up....needed a pullback
Recent exposure on "Mad Money" cramer bullish brought out some hedge money to scare the retail investor out of some shares
natural gas prices have gone down (not sure of the exact figures) and I believe that is core drilling bus.
Recent downgrade by analyst
I exited to early on this one. Got out at .24 and .25. Still made out ok as I entered around .135.
Possible pullback to low to mid .30's and im in again. I think there may be another up trend after this pulls back. But I said I would reenter at .22 after i sold and I missed it.

trosh--I agree with you in that it might be better at this point to get into something further along to producing however I got out of urix (small uranium play if i remember you follow uranium also right?) for the same reason and it has more than doubled since. ouch. The "market" doesn't always play logically.
is the gas "combustable" up there? in other words....if the object is ultra heated from entering our atmo, will she blow up or just lose whatever gas cells the object pentrates through?
Someone interested in the company asked me a question and I have no answer for him....Was thinking maybe someone here could give me an idea of the chances of one of the stratellites being hit by an object coming into our atmosphere say a meteorite however small and the consequences of that?
thanks all in advance
tackler,
Thanks. Don't know why I didn't think to check if there was one.
GPXM TA:
RSI 14, MFI 14 and %B 20 all dipped below extreme levels. Got partially in at .135 and was waiting for confirmation to enter fully. Short term resistence .15 but I think that becomes support after this week. Chart below:
Sorry. Trying to post a beta chart and only got default indicators. Well anyway, the MFI 14, RSI 14 have dropped and %B 20 is on the line. Just between you and me, I have followed some other stocks since your post that confirmed those indicators and got nice short term jumps. Do you think they are good for long term trend reversals as well? To get all three to confirm is rare for more stocks than not and does seem to lead to a long term trend reversal from the ones I follow. Is that what you normally trade by? I'm hooked.
William,
Been watching the three indicators you were looking at in that post. What do you think now?! With the recent pr just gravy on the indicator cake, I am thinking it is time!
Chart link below? Not sure how to post a beta chart.

Lowtrade,
I would like to thank you for your time and effort you take to comment and answer questions on the boards I see you post on and especially your own here. Whatever your goals or intentions are for taking your own time (time=money) to start a forum of your own, I hope it works and meets your expectations. It seems to have started off very well and I have been following.
I know you are only posting opinions and experience as to what has worked for you but many will take something from that and apply it to themselves for the better.
An example being myself. I have seen you post various times about your trading plan (how you buy and sell in %'s etc)and to always have a plan and stick to it the best you can. To be honest I did not think I needed a structured "plan" per se like that.
I recently gave it a try though. I just modified what you do to come up with my own version that fits me a little better and on my last two swing trades and it has worked for me. Both ways. Cutting losses and in turn increasing profits. It is also less stressfull for me.
Thanks.
Mide,
Ditto to squ1dk1d's comments! I have also known about the "box" but did not delve into it more. Thanks for the brief lesson. It is something I would like to try. I like the capital preservation concept!
