Interesting how HESG had all that heavy volume, and then sat at .0001 with no volume for exactly one hour before upticking to .0002.

HESG just broke the 100 million mark.

Yes. Keep an eye on CXAC. Volume has been picking up lately.

I've been watching CXAC too.

Hi Weneedsprofit. So far nobody is sure what has caused this volume surge today. Lots of speculation on possible news coming out soon, plus other possibilities. We are rapidly approaching the 997 million volume level of July 22 when the pps moved between .0005 and .0009. Once past that level you have to go back to the big run in June to see higher volume.

Keep checking in, but don't ignore your mother!

That's what I'm thinking. This can't just be the effect of the faux Swedish.

Would it help if we sang about our favorite things? I know! Let's sing about our favorite things in faux Swedish!

Did you folks see that ad for that new "lose weight without dieting" gimmick? Below is the "before and after" photo from the ad. Of course they are very careful not to specifically state which one is the before and which is the after. Since it's a diet program everyone just assumes the photo on the left was taken first, but no way! Anyway, doesn't that guy remind you of Frank Olsen from the neck down? Uncanny!

It's no fun when the left hand doesn't know that the left hand is doing.

Thank goodness I specialize in lottos rather than DD. ;0)

Well, wasn't THAT fun! OK. All those who just discovered that they are IHub addicts, raise your hand.

Oh my gosh, you're right! I'd better quick cancel my GEGP boardmark so I don't find out!

bye

I belieeeeeeeeeeve in miracles!!!!

I'M OUT!! I'M OUT!! THANK YOU GeeHEEEEuhZusss!!!

Maybe this one will work.



Perhaps we could place a sign on it:
RIP Frank Olsen

or

In Memory Of Frank Olsen
Let'm RIP

Anyway, life is being good. Have even managed to recoup my QBID losses. Still working at the Opera. Got a new Prius. Feeling happy. Ed and I married last year on our 24th anniversary, so this year we celebrated our 25th anniversary AND our 1st anniversary. Still foggy as ever here.

How is it going with you, kiddo?

Hi dave! Guess the image was too grand to post. Here's the link:

Junk, thank you so much. I was so moved at the news of Frank's passing. Regardless of how things came out in the end, I think we can all acknowledge that Frank Olsen touched our lives in ways we will never forget. I think it would bring healing to everyone if we could find it in our hearts to get together, pull our funds, and create a moving memorial in his honor. After all, what's a little more money for Frank? I propose we build him a lovely monument over his grave site. Something with quiet dignity befitting such a visionary man of genius. (scroll down to see image below) A place where people can sit and reflect on Frank. A place to leave mementos and remembrances. A place where we can give back a little of what he gave to us. A place where those who perhaps have been holding within themselves some considerable bitterness can just let it all go.

IHGP volume today is double the 10-day average and triple the 90-day average.

Buying and selling at the Ask is a good way to keep the run going, or at least avoid dropping the pps. Watch out for "dupe and poop" stocks where someone advises you to buy at the Ask OR at the Bid.

You're welcome. Felt the word "NEWS" didn't deserve bold because it wasn't really news. But felt it deserved UPPER CASE because it wasn't really fluff either. However, definitely no exclamation points!

Hmmmm... 200K showing now. Pps downticked to .0005. Bid dropped to .0004. Anyone interested in seeing what a buy at .0004 will do to the pps?

That's interesting. Normally your purchase should show up as 500K volume, and the pps should downtick 17% from the current .0006 to .0005. Maybe we're lucky it didn't show up.

Choose an answer:

A) Better up and down than down and down.

B) Up and down creates more mini-adrenaline rushes than flatline.

C) You want to see up and down all day? Try Google (GOOG)

D) Yeah, up and down all day is really annoying.

It's when you only get a partial fill on your order.

Good question.

HESG at the end of June went from .0001 to .0004. Nearly half-a-billion traded at .0004. Had a major run in February.

I was looking back over the history of this stock. It started trading in August of 2001, and has never had a reverse split. Today's volume is in the same range when the last run occurred earlier this month. The all-time volume record for this stock is 479,757,600, set on 7/17/09.

Thanks again. I did very well on the most recent run of HESG, buying in at .0001 and selling at .0004. But I'm no stock genius, that's for sure. Here's hoping this one does well again.

Thanks. Here's a dumb question. When trades appear on the graph at zero instead of at .0001 are they trades that went through anywhere below .0001, or are they trades that went through below .00005? TIA.

I bought those two 9,000,000 blocks at 10:06 this morning, plus a few other blocks of the same amount at close to that same time. Don't know why those two went through below .0001. But of course I paid .0001 for them. The reason I sometimes buy in blocks of 9 million is because my broker doesn't allow 10 million trades, and I don't want to buy 9,999,999. Hope this info helps.

Great day!

Very disappointing. ETLS bidwhacked again.

I hope that proves to be true. So far it hasn't for me. But thanks.

Thanks. In recent weeks I've made a number of buys at the ask, and a number of those have resulted in upticks. However consistently bidwhacking brings the pps back down later. I don't think I'm going to put any more into this stock. For now I'll hold what I have and hope for the best for myself and for all.

Not trying to be argumentative, but when buying at the bid knocks the pps down, doesn't that discourage more buying at the ask, leading to loss of interest, loss of volume and declining pps?

If they are selling, isn't someone buying?

I don't follow. Seems to me every time we start to run someone buys at the bid, and the run is over.
