RAPT..pitiful volume and movement on what is supposedly the last "piece" of their acquisitions.
RAPT..pitiful volume and movement on what is supposedly the last "piece" of their acquisitions.
EZTO...small shake
RAPT...shake before next weeks news or just tanking??
I think I will buy some more.
CYOS...does it bounce today or just head down and stay there??
CYOS...Thoughts on bounce tomorrow if it bottoms in the .03's in the AM??
PBLS...No trades for nearly 45 minutes. If NITE or someone else lowers the bid, we may go below .01 I wouldn't mind seeing that as this is a longterm hold, IMHO and I like to buy low!
AMRE..what's moving AMRE today? Any new or rumours?
CYOS...think it bounces today when it hits bottom or does it stay there or does it keep falling?
PBLS..wish NITE would slow down...and let it drop a bit. No need to try to make it all in one day!
PBLS...Curious, how far do you think it runs w/out pr from Company?
Thanks, Rig and EZ...wish I jumped first thing this morning...how could I ever doubt you 2! :)
Didn't mean to imply that your info was not appreciated.
Ameritrade filled 320K shares at .012 or lower while ETRADE filled 30K from a 1Million share order that had a bid of .013 Again, ETRADE shows just how much it SUCKS!
RAPT...very low volume. With good acquisition news next week, I think it goes over .1 Doubt it will stay there though. JMO
I can't remember. You can look it up on the SEC website. I'm not even going to bother. MLXO needs NEWS and REVENUES or relisting won't mean squat. JMO.
They also need a broker/dealer who will "sponsor" or list them. Tom told me a few weeks back that they have a firm who has committed to do that. It won't matter all that much unless he starts putting out some pr's. He needs to pr every new contract and possible deals. He needs to get some MOMENTUM!
OSFT .0075 x .0081 1x1
IGTN...Any ideas why this is up over 60%?
I'm not hung up, I'm just postulating why the pps has been so stagnant recently given the good pr's.
BB... Yes, a LOI ain't binding, till the deal is done! But don't the pr's usuall saying "binding LOI"?
RAPT...We will have to wait and see if they actually close the deals. Still very tenuous, but I'm going along for awhile longer.
RAPT...Not exciting, but it actually looks like they might be going about it the right way...that is, buying existing ops that (hopefully) provide cash flow rather than having to lay out capital for buildings. Time will tell.
RAPT News...
PLANTATION, Fla., Jun 07, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Raptor Investments, Inc. (Pink Sheets:RAPT) announced today that it has signed a binding letter of intent with Thrifty Brothers, Inc. to acquire its thrift stores and eBay drop locations in both Clearwater, FL and Largo, FL. The LOI with Thrifty Brothers, a long standing community-focused thrift store, estate and corporate liquidator and power eBay (EBAY) member, marks Raptor Investments' second acquisition since the company's announcement that it is joining Las Vegas, NV based Net2Auction Inc. (Pink Sheets:NAUC) and Dallas, TX based Orbit Drop, Inc. (Pink Sheets:OBDP) in the eBay drop store business. The Company also announced that the acquisition of Tampa, FL based EZ Auctions & Shipping is scheduled to close on June 20, 2005.
Jamie DeSane, acting CEO of Raptor commented: "We are very pleased by the cash flow generating businesses that we are in the process of consolidating for Raptor shareholders. Thrifty Brothers' existing stores serve as both eBay drop locations and community-based thrift stores while its warehouse facility, in addition to housing the estate and corporate liquidation business, will provide the centralized shipping, receiving and storage operations for our immediate global eBay drop store operations. These critical infrastructure components will enable us to serve local communities and scale our model to an international audience immediately, without hastily or haphazardly acquiring retail presence for the sake of growth alone. We believe this focus will help the Company provide the highest quality service, ensure reliable cash flows and maintain the essential 'human element' and community focus through careful and deliberate thrift store acquisitions into which we will overlay the eBay drop store business."
Thrifty Brothers, an estate and corporate liquidator, opened its first retail store front in the beginning of 2005 and has experienced average monthly revenue in excess of $20,000, with costs of good sold (COGS) as a percentage of sales of 12.5%. DeSane remarked, "The Thrifty Brothers business, while not yet fully mature in terms of the industry average monthly revenues of fifty to sixty thousand dollars, already possesses compelling profit margins, that when scaled significantly, will be even more impressive." He continued, "The thrift and liquidation business will provide a solid base with which to smooth and stabilize our monthly revenue recognition." DeSane concluded: "Our next acquisition, which we anticipate announcing within the next week, will add a final critical business component and a two year operating revenue base of over $8 Million. At that point our integration team will unify all operations under the new global brand, implement state-of-the-art inventory management, supply chain and CRM infrastructure and initiate the company name and symbol change."
Raptor Investments has scheduled the closing of the EZ Auctions & Shipping acquisition for Monday, June 20th, 2005. EZ Auctions & Shipping, Inc. has completed over 8,000 eBay transactions to date, representing more than twice the combined totals of rivals, Orbit Drop & Net2Auction. Market capitalizations for the three eBay drop store sector constituents suggest considerable disparity. Based on Monday's closing prices and available share data, Net2Auction has a market capitalization of $118.9 Million (based on 49,154,500 shares outstanding), Orbit Drop has a market capitalization of $226.8 Million (based on 202,550,000 shares outstanding) and Raptor Investments has a market capitalization of approximately $4.98 Million (based on 92,325,181 shares outstanding).

Not much of a bounce from the news. I get the feeling that Investors (new investors) are a bit leery of EZTO based upon missed deadlines, disappearance of Otto, sites down, etc. IMHO, it will take a little while to build up trust again. I'm not bashing, just giving my opinion on why pps is just hanging around these levels.

I agree...MOBL has done wonderful under Jay Wright. I'm still mad that I foolishly sold 68K shares last week to cover some pos moves I made. I was going to buy back then the quarterly news hit. I still have 90K shares in a different account. And I bought 150K shares this morning at .36, but I might have to sell most of those off unless I make some other moves today to cover. Long-term, you have to love MOBL.

MOBL Sprint News...
http://biz.yahoo.com/e/050606/mobl.ob8-k.html
That is what I linked to. But people were spreading rumors of Sprint. Thus, the market has discounted what is otherwise good new. It ran pre-opening on rumors, when it turned out not to be Sprint, it retraced some.
MOBL...So far, market is not excited as investors were probably looking for Sprint. If no rumours had been floated about Sprint, this would have stayed low and then shot up some, instead, it shot up and now retraces.
