Oh yeah, real "interesting"; they pulled such a great head fake on all you "Power Hour Putzes" with that 10 million share dump yesterday they've got 30 million waiting for you today .
Suck 'em up, CHUMP !
If they get all caught up through the 2010 10-K before the 2011 1Q 10-Q is due, then they're "current". In fact, under current SEC reporting requirements and ARET's size ( less than $75 million float value ) their 2010 10-K isn't due until March 31st, 2011. ( 90 days after end of Reporting Period, i.e. 12-31-2010 ) So, just the three 10-Q's of 2010 by 03-31-2011 would bring them "current" to that moment.
I've said it before, I'll say it again:
Sam wants a payday from Strat; he's worked for it, he's earned it, he deserves it. So, too, do us long-suffering Shareholders. So his needs are our needs, and vice versa; thus, we are aligned.
The hydrocarbon marketplace is re-asserting itself and its long-term secular trend - UP! - that was interrupted by the recent financial turmoil.
So what seemed hopeless two years ago, perhaps even to Sam, now seems at least possible and maybe even achievable.
Luck is sometimes just hard work meeting opportunity at the right moment.
If past is prologue, as Shakespeare said, all three Q's for 2010 will show up together and that'll make this whole discussion a moot issue; which is fine, heh-heh
The Pink Sheets' "Stop sign" ? Got to be within 6 months "current" according to their web site, so that would mean the 10-Q for 2010 ( June 30, Q2 ) or, depending on their definition of that "6 month" window, even the Q3 10-Q for the period ending September 30, 2010

Four to go for "current": the 2009 10-K and the three Q's for 2010. The 10-K for 2010 can come as late as sometime in March and still be current, since a "K" is given more time than a "Q". Definitely into the Home Stretch.
Oh my goodness 2,153,418 taken in one block at the ask : $.046
In the words of Howard Cosell: "I've never seen anything like this in my entire, illustrious career! "
Your question may have been in jest, but you're actually right. When they run out of shares they start desking orders so they can slow things down until they get things sorted out. They were doing this exact same thing when ARET crossed the $.02 threshold back in late December / early January as this move was just getting underway. I noticed it happening then, too .
Just a slight delay ".. due to technical difficulties". Yeah, there it is the 500-share "pull the flush handle and let it circle the bowl" signal. As soon as they pull the rug out from the fake bid there @ $.0011 this is going to get uglier than a Lindsay Lohan mug shot.
$.0012's dumping timberrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!
Nope, just another crank of the Pump_And_Dump handle.
And, just as predicted... right on time, right on cue.... here comes The Dump
Oh, har de-har-har-har.... the "smart money" is about to dump a WinterShareBlizzard on another load of NewBOBs*. Not all the snow jobs are outside, tyro.
*NewBOBs = New Bunch Of Bagholders
Yessir, looks like another Whiz-Bang Pump_And_Dump underway. My guess is this one flames out right after 10am. Then back to Trip-Zero-One, where it belongs.
It's not un-common to re-use a recruiting ad, especially since they're looking for talent whose brains are aligned to programming in this very unique software application. No, this definitely ISN'T "database" stuff.
Right on schedule, too, as I guess-timated

For 2008, the 10-K came eight business days ( Jan 19 to Jan 31 ) after the flurry of 10-Q's. Now let's see if we get the 2009 10-K in eight days, maybe less.
In Memoriam:
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
-Dylan Thomas-
Great; you'll be one of the price-chasers who will help push it through a dime in a few weeks.
"AUTO" is an ECN, not a "Market Maker" in the sense that NITE or VFIN or ETMM are.
Their niche is serving as an automated trading platform ECN for the black-box trading crowd.

They're owned by Citigroup; draw your own conclusions from that.
The conclusions that can be drawn from AUTO's appearance on both sides of the spread today and yesterday are that there are at least two "black box" traders fixing to play with VirTra, at least one on each side of the trade.
Meaning things could get "interesting" in a hurry, here.
"because the market will get destroyed if that happens."
No it won't, you're making the mistake of confusing markets with politics.
Markets in a plutokleptocracy will always survive, precisely because martial law has been declared. Surely, you've heard the expression, "Whomever has the gold, makes the rules." Well, the plutokleptocracy certainly fits that description, doesn't it ?
Even when most of a market does crash, there are always some sectors that defy the general trend. Any sector connected with the extant paradigm will exhibit said defiance; and "security" will be such a sector
Lockheed Martin is probably going to be one of the Prime Contractors implementing the regime when Martial Law is declared in the United States, so it only makes sense they're going to need lots and lots and lots of VirTra sims to train their legions.
It's now traded the best volume of 2011 up on the Toronto Exchange and more than all but two days in 2010.
"something" is up, all right.
Hey ! How about "VitraRange SKEET" ? Just the savings in clay pigeons alone would pay for one . Not to mention avoiding the environmental issues of the clay pigeons.
The Central / South American sales are still done through dealer / distributors, aren't they ?
So that would be the channel for those sales. This "material contract" with the as-yet-to-be-identified "customer" appears to be the Company dealing directly with said "customer".
So, two separate "deals".
I doubt it's ShowTime for $1, but a decent run to the $.40's might be in the cards. Depends on what's coming down the line.
I am; have followed this saga for years. The last week of trading has that definite "somebody knows something" look to it; I'm guessing it's good news about the arbitration with ElSalvador, they must have paid off all of the TinhornsInFunnyHats crowd and now it's ready to roll. I doubt it's about that new property in Panama, still too early with that one.
Ok, EDGAR timelines time. It was three business days - Jan 14 to Jan 19 - between the 2007 10-K and when the three 2008 10-Q's all showed up at once.
IF they're on that same roll with 2009 we should see at least the first of the 2009 10-Q's perhaps on this Thursday, February 3rd .
Sort of sounds as though emotion is ruling you, "Barney". An emotion called "panic". Just suck it up and cover at the ask, "Barney", it'll only hurt for a moment or so.
Another sale to that school in California:

California alone is going to be buying these sims by the truckload once the rioting starts. Actually, they'll be shipped in by air freight because the roads will be impassable.
No "big oil play" here; just somebody getting ready to run a dirty little whiz-bang Pump_And_Dump. But it'll be playable, just don't get greedy and think it's for real, or anything.
Do you have any concept of how totally insignificant 10 barrels a day of production really is ? 10 barrels a day is a rounding error for any real oil company.
10 barrels a day - hold on, I need to laugh hysterically for a few minutes; ok, I'm fine now - won't even keep the lights on or keep full the tanks of the rent-by-the-hour Lambos and Ferraris there at the "Instant Mogul Office Suite" in beautiful downtown Addison on the North Dallas Tollway Boiler Room Gold Coast.
10 barrels ? A day ? Tooooooooooooooo funny !
10 barrels a day @ $90 a barrel = $900.00, gross.
Then off of that comes the mineral owners' 1/8; then off of that come the severance taxes to the state, the county, the municipality, the school districts, anybody with their hand out actually; then off of that comes the operating costs and the overhead.
Your $900 is probably down to about a third of that. $300 dollars a day is going to support the price of a stock with billions of shares out already and who-knows-how-many-more on the way ?
Dream on.
I could be wrong but it appears people are digging what's in the 'K.
3 million and cranking away on $.04
10 barrels a day ? Are they kidding ? 10 barrels a day ?! From that whole lease ?
Ah, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
10 barrels a day isn't enough to pay the light bill ! Wow, talk about being sold a Bill Of Goods ! A Pig In A Poke !
The brutal reality, 'jake, is that there's no such thing as a "safe play" in the stock market. Just ask anyone who bought Enron.
That said, Nacel is a very-high-risk speculation but at $.06 and given its prospects - should it succeed - it is a very attractive speculation.
Think of it as a Lottery Ticket that won't expire unless and until and only if the Company does.
GSRE is a classic example of that expression that goes...
"The first step in digging yourself out of a hole you're in is to stop digging!"
I don't think they've ever heard it, they just keep digging themselves deeper and deeper and deeper.
"Charts are for traders, not investors"
That has to be one of your most inane statements, to date. Charts are useful to anyone - trader or investor - seeking to enhance their understanding of a stock, an index, or an entire market.
There seems to be no limit to your intellectual dishonesty, does there ?
I want everyone to take a long, long look at this chart:
ARET - Daily Candlesticks
because this sort of chart action is something almost unheard of, namely a stock that is already overbought, has started a normal, healthy correction and then - BAM! - puts in a bullish engulfing candle such as you see made by today's price action.
This is one of the rarest chart patterns there is, and speaks of the incredible power behind whatever is pushing this stock higher.
Couple that with today's record volume - overwhelmingly bullish ( read: buying ) and it means only one thing: people who really do know what's going on inside the Company are buying this as if their life depended on it.
I'll believe my own numbers, taken straight off the Time & Quotes log, before I believe numbers served up on this redolent cesspool from ADVFN.
