LOL> i kept chasing the sell and couldn't get in. Said f**k it let it ride. Whew. Glad that I did. Still have doubts especially when losing over 100,000 at a time. Now it's green.
So you are saying 10% of today's market was you? BS!!!
I didn't, but that was excellently done. Good for you. If opens down, you are in a position to take advantage of it. This pig just couldn't sell.
OK guys. Best guess on the open tomorrow with no news this afternoon
Is that you Fran? Are you still pissed I married your daughter? Quit harassing me.
75 minutes. WOW
Not really. We understood that to mean it would remain above .10.
6829 trades; 141M shares so far
It would be more appropriate to go to RBII. That's where he belongs
Great work Falon, as usual
6,656 trades so far.
Like Glenn Yarbrough said, "Baby, the rain must fall."
Talking to yourself?
Not a question of like. It's a question of integrity and motive. You brought something to the table, but then you kept shoveling it down our throats. Why? You are not our friend or fellow investor. So why stick around unless you have a problem.
Like to see snow again now that I don't have to go out and work in it. It's just plain freezing here in Austin
My first positive 10 bagger. LOL
Bears repeating:
A Market Maker runs a 'shop' and you buy shares from him or sell them back to him.
The Market Makers act as retailers of shares and display their prices during working hours. The prices may vary (sometimes considerably) during the day, depending on a number of influences. For example, if holders of very large amounts of a share decide to sell (or a combination of a lot of holders of small amounts), then the Market Makers will reduce the price that they are prepared to pay for the share. The converse is true also; if there is a consistent and large enough demand for a share, then the Market Makers will increase the price. Market Makers make money from buying shares at a lower price to which they sell them. This is the bid/offer spread. The more actively a share is traded the more money a Market Maker makes.
It is often felt that the Market Makers manipulate the prices. "Market Manipulation" is an emotive term, and conjurers images of shady deals and exploitation. Market Makers are not elusive companies that appear then vanish overnight. Market Makers are duty bound to make a market and to meet the needs of those they are responsible, to this end they may try to influence the market.
Market Makers are however known to lower prices to "panic" investors into selling, sometimes called "shaking the tree"? Moving the price up, encourages sells, moving it down also encourage sell, hence also the term dead cat bounce when a Market Maker will mark a falling stock up to encourage buyers in thinking they have reached the bottom.
A good pricing system such as Level 2 will give you an indication which Market Makers are keenly priced. Your broker using the same systems as you now have can sometimes get a better price than those on the screen. This is because Market Makers compete with one another for business. When your broker calls the Market Maker he is giving them the opportunity to 'bid' for the business, the Market Maker may well improve on the price on offer via the screens. The Market Maker only makes money when they are buying and selling, so the Market Maker will prefer to see the business go through their books at a reduce margin than allow it to go to another Market Maker.
When you buy and sell shares in most circumstances (SEAQ/AIM) your broker has to go through a Market Maker. The Market Maker works for an institution that makes a market (will buy and sell) that particular stock. They provide the market with liquidity - i.e. there will always be a price you can sell your stock at, there will always be a price you can buy some stock at (unless the share is suspended).
Market Makers obviously have a degree of risk. If there is a flood of sellers, because the Market Maker's job is to provide liquidity, he has to buy those shares even though the rest of the market may want to sell. If the price continues to fall he could be left with a lot of stock on his hands that he paid considerably higher prices for than he can sell for now. And vice versa - if a share is rising sharply the Market Maker has to continue selling the stock to the buyers - he could end up "short" of stock. In this situation he has sold stock he has not got, to fulfill all the buy requests, and he has to buy this stock in to balance his books, but at higher prices and makes a loss.
The Market Makers are effectively in competition with each other. With the example of IMG above, why would a seller want to sell shares to UBSW at 380, when the seller can deal with MLSB or AITK and receive 385p per shares? If UBSW wants to purchase shares, the Market Maker has to raise its bid price. If Market Makers want to buy shares because they may think the stock is heading up or they are short of stock they have to raise their bid price if theirs is not the best bid on the screen. This can cause the spread to narrow. If Market Makers are keen to sell stock they may want to lower their offer price to tempt buyers in. If all Market Makers start moving their offer prices lower to tempt in buyers and offload stock, certain traders could view this as negative for the short term. If Market Makers need or want to take in more stock they will raise their bid prices - certain traders again could see this as a sign of a short-term upswing in prices.
If a Market Maker does not want to trade in the stock he is making a market in he may make his bid/ask spread so wide to discourage anyone to trade with him. If all the Market Makers do this the stock can become illiquid temporarily as no trades are going through - buyers do not want to buy, sellers do not want to sell their stock at what they envisage is a poor bid price.
Wondered when OUCHIE BOO BOO would make his third appearance of the day.
Well Hell. Keep manipulating it then
180K at .089
149K at .087
That would be Susan
starting to zigzag....consolidating
Excellent post Bonnie
Got to love it. I keep moving my buy orders up. Six times already. LOL
Now it's jumping. .055
I know. I was hoping the MMs would be jockeying around a bit higher. I have another bid in, and I'm thinking it is too low. Everone should have these problems.
Premarket is not nearly as high as I expected. I wars looking (in my own head of course) at .065, not .0532.
That's the kind of response I'm asking for.
As to that, I can only say people are always buying shells and using them, but this is way out of my realm of knowledge.
That is funny. It's not a couple thousand dollars...and I wasn't bragging, just stating some bona fides. And I wouldn't care if it was a hundred dollars. If I earned it, I don't want to send it down a rabbit hole. How the Hell do you think I made my money? Playing?
Hell, I've been up since 3:00 cause I can't sleep just waiting for the bell so don't think I'm not excited and glad to be here.
Maybe I should have said tens of thousands. My point is, we live in the real world and should look at all information with an analytical eye and move on it. I admit I have been in love with this stock, but I have loved other stock as well that ended up badly. Don't dump Darron under the bus just because you disagree with him, especially if you don't have first hand information (not saying you don't) that can contradict his assertions. No ego here. Just reality. I'm in, but new information has come in that is relevant.
Shake me? Yes. But, I will do more DD. I believe there is enough to set a fire under the stock short-term and make a killing, but will it prove to be a scam? Who knows? Maybe those on a first name basis with the principals who talk to them. All I know is I have several thousands in this and I like to keep my money.
What I hate about boards is the crap people spew when someone points out potential flaws in what has been painted about a play. Instead of doing an analysis and finding out whether the flaws are there or not, let's attack someone who really did due diligence. I was in the oil and gas exploration business for 30 years before selling my company for a cool $30,000,000 a few years back so I know about risks. I also know about throwing money down dry holes, but I don't want to throw money down someone else's dry hole. So take your bonds and....
I was a hold or die dude before these questions. Now I will probably sell 1/2 my position after the big runup. Damn.
Eeeekkk!!!!! Talk about cold water to wake up and dash dreams. I noticed that ENZC has only 4 employees? How are they doing what they are doing> Good questions.
Not that we doubt you but why not send us a picture of your broker's account line showing what you say is true? Too many people brag about what they don't have. A picture talks, BS walks.
Kind of like the devil and the angel in Animal House.
I agree with a lot of that, but ENZC has quite a few of the more informative and helpful touts that other boards are lacking. And a good portion are experienced investors. You will pick out the newbies as well as the juveniles (of every age). It's going to be interesting at what this opens up at tomorrow. I wouldn't want to predict it because we don't have all of the information, but I won't be sleeping tonight because it is going to be exciting. I retired from the oil business and this reminds me of the nights we had when waiting for a well to come in. Same rush with a sense of dread.
