ClayTrader, thnx for the chart, but curious why you usually don't call-out those pesky gaps (hate 'em). In this case, 0.0057 - 0.0060. Gaps tend to fill and my guess is that we see a little dip tomorrow.
Holy shmoley. Assuming Innotek still has those shares, they're worth a cool $1.2M USD. What other surprises can you unearth?

LA, Beijing to exchange ideas on solving traffic
Innotrek, Beijing ... "Intelligent City" planning ... traffic and security management ... maybe this will raise awareness of Innotrek in the U.S. To be clear, no companies, including Innotrek, are mentioned in article, but sooner or later, U.S. planners will start noticing Innotrek. IMO.

LA, Beijing to exchange ideas on solving traffic
LOS ANGELES — Two cities
notorious for their choked roads
are teaming up to share ideas on
how to better manage traffic.
A Los Angeles County Metropolitan
Transportation Authority executive
says he is working on an
agreement with his counterpart in
Beijing that will lead to an
exchange of technical expertise
and joint research projects.
While the notion of the car capital
of the world teaching China's
capital how to handle traffic seems
far fetched, experts say the two
cities can benefit from the partnership.
"Clearly there are things to learn on
both ends," said Randall Crane, an
urban planning professor at the
University of California, Los
Angeles who's working on a book
about Chinese urbanization.
"Beijing planners are desperately
trying to adjust to an increasingly
car-oriented world, where people
don't live where they work. At the
same time, LA wishes it had as
good of a transit infrastructure —
and as many people wanting to
take transit."
Beijing, which went from having
almost no private cars 15 years
ago to having vehicles snarl to a
crawl for most of the day, wants to
know how Los Angeles copes with
such problems.
Meanwhile, Los Angeles can benefit
from learning about Beijing's
speedy expansion of its rail transit
system, said Paul Taylor, deputy
chief executive officer of the MTA.
"They're experiencing the same
problems we've gone through in a
much more accelerated way,"
Taylor said. "They know we have
more cars than anywhere else in
the U.S. and probably on a per
capita basis more than anywhere
in the world, and they'd like to
know how we deal with that."
As traffic becomes universally
common, cities are increasingly
looking outward to learn how other
cities are tackling the challenges of
growth and congestion. Chances
are, a new approach to curbing
traffic in one city has been tested
somewhere else.
"We benefit so much in learning
how other places ... actually get an
innovative project to happen," said
Tilly Chang, deputy director for
planning at the San Francisco
County Transportation Authority,
which is forming a similar
partnership with Shenzhen, a
manufacturing hub in southern
China.
"Being able to say this is not a
crazy idea that we have, other p
eople are thinking about it, too,
can really open people's minds,"
she said.
Taylor said he recently spent a
week meeting with Chinese
officials at the invitation of the
Ministry of Transport. He toured
Beijing and said he was impressed
by the quality of the subway
service, and the scale of the city's
bus operation.
With gridlock and smog
commonplace, Los Angeles County
has been focusing on high-
capacity transit systems — light
rail, interurban heavy rail,
dedicated busways — to catch up
with the transportation demands
of its 10 million residents.
In late 2012, the MTA will begin
charging a fee to drivers looking
for a faster drive on new freeway
toll lanes. The concept, called
congestion pricing, uses market
forces to keep traffic flowing by
raising the toll during rush hour.
It is being tried in several cities and
has been credited with improving
highway efficiency.
Taylor noted that 35 percent of
Beijing's roughly 20 million
inhabitants travel by bus, with
another 18 percent by bicycle.
"In LA, those percentages are
probably together less than 5
percent, so it's impressive how they
do things," Taylor said.
Car ownership in Beijing has
grown so fast that during the 2008
Beijing Olympics authorities took
half of the cars off the road on
alternate days to combat air
pollution and reduce congestion.
They extended the restriction by
banning privately owned vehicles
from roads one day per week,
according to license plate numbers.
Other measures include staggering
the work hours of certain workers
to ease traffic during the morning
and evening rush hour, and
monitoring traffic speed via global
positioning systems installed in the
city's taxicab fleet.
Last month, road construction
triggered a 10-day monster jam —
stretching to 60 miles (96
kilometers) at one point — on a
four-lane highway that links
Beijing to the Chinese region of
Inner Mongolia. Some vehicles were
stuck for five days, forcing drivers
to pass the time by playing cards,
sleeping on the asphalt or
bargaining with food vendors.
Taylor said Beijing transportation
officials were interested in how Los
Angeles manages parking and
carpool lanes and how it plans for
future travel demands. China is
about to embark on another 5-
year transportation plan and it
wants to learn more about the
American planning process, which
requires an environmental review
plus public input before any
transportation or development
project gets approved.
"They think that the idea of
involving the public in developing
a plan is a novel, intriguing idea,"
Taylor said.
A call to the spokesman of the
Beijing Municipal Committee of
Transportation rang unanswered.
The committee's website mentions
Taylor's visit.
Taylor said he left China with the
impression that the country was
seeking solutions so that
bottlenecks don't stifle its
breakneck growth.
"I think China recognizes that
they're on a path that's not
sustainable," he said. "We've
already been there, we experienced
rapid growth and use of
automobiles and we're seeking
alternatives to the car."
Good research.
A few questions. In the Chinese business hierarchy, general manager is higher than chairman. Agree or disagree?
Wang Yuenong, General Manager
Wang Wei, Chairman
To confirm, Wang Yuenong, General Manager, is Wynn?
Wang Wei is Chairman.
Do you know if the Wangs are related?
In your research, have you found any articles about Innotrek or the Wangs ... independent articles by journalists - newspaper, magazine or internet? I would imagine that readers would be interested in the growth story.
Again, thnx for the research and links.
Z-Man15, who are you talking to?
Proof VCTY has not been shorted for a good amount of time:
You know the difference between Short Interest and the Reg SHO Daily Short figures, don't you? Don't make me stop the car.
As long as VCTY remains on this exchange (so to speak), there's no reason to expect a new symbol. The hydro R/M or other important event - sale/spin-off of Tactician? - doesn't change the identity of the core asset. If/when VCTY graduates to another exchange, then we'll get a new symbol.

never sure why
Understatement. As you know, that's a fact of life with investing. It concerns me, though, that you're looking to a msg board for answers. Look at IR's statements/opinions from other sources - Friday Tips, Monday Analysis, maybe others - and read between the lines. No hard facts there (usually). That's for PR's. The thread seems to be viable company/frustration with communication & paperwork.
IMO
Dastardly?
Identify all the selling pressures and then make a convincing case.
Hint: PS Current Information
Shorting Pinks isn't illegal. It's a legitimate market making activity. Ugly to say, but if the Pinks are one step up from selling shares out of a car trunk outside a strip club at midnight, then I'm glad that somebody is willing to make a market in them. The problem is that the MM's and block shorters have figured out how to abuse the system, using their bona-fide market making tactics to make money, and ruin investors and companies in the process.
I think it's going to take a concerted effort by small & micro-cap companies, the engines of growth in the U.S., to make a real difference. Also, you can't enforce what you can't see. IF the SEC implements the following, maybe we have a chance.
Hope (finally)? SEC Proposes Consolidated Audit Trail System to Better Track Market Trades
are they shorting it making a ton of dough and covering their ass*s at these prices, we've all seen the 100 1000 share transactions take the price down when 30 buys and a million shares do not.
Why is it even a question? Watching GOIG closely but haven't invested yet even though the business idea is strong. Back in June, it became obvious that the shorts started clubbing the shares like baby seals. Granted, solid, verifiable news will send GOIG flying but, in the meantime, it seems easier to rant against the CEO than the real problem.
Previous post:
There is no correlation between the Daily Shorts and the declining pps, right? Walking the pps down is all part of bona-fide market making, right? Tap, tap, tap. Is this thing on? Right?

To the naysayers, yes, shorting is a bona-fide market making activity. Per SEC regs, bona-fide market making does NOT include activity that is related to speculative selling strategies or investment purposes of the broker-dealer or that is disproportionate to the usual market making patterns or practices of the broker-dealer in that security.
Impressive. This is Bechtel-level project management - the blank-sheet-of-paper stage - engineering, construction, management, and development services. Company has ambitions, IMO.
I trust that Lori is going to fix or, at least, better track the root prob (for litigation?) in conjunction with the previously announced company plans.
... the company will shortly unveil a China-based expansion plan, which by all accounts should breathe new life into RMDM.
As mentioned, nobody likes the O/S, but it's enabled the company to accumulate a significant amount of cash, which makes it an attractive takeover candidate or to buy another real-deal company.
Good move, IMO. Lori Livingston, President of Transfer Online Inc. is one of the good guys. For years, she's been a lone voice, one of the few finance professionals brave enough to speak out against the DTC's unconscionable, predatory practices.

more difficult for even MM's to short shares
Agree that the Pre-Borrow and Hard Locate Requirements per Rule 204T and subsequent Rule 204 are extremely welcome.
However, I keep looking for the results. The NSS and Daily Short figures are still off the charts for too many stocks.
Wondering if you're familiar with the fact below. This is one of those holy shhhh... statements (new to me on the learning curve), describing a practice suspected but never seen in print. Also, the statement is NOT by someone wearing a little tin-foil hat opining on an obscure blog. It's by Frank Hatheway, Ph.D., Chief Economist of NASDAQ.
http://www.sec.gov/comments/4-590/4590-31.pdf
Securities Lending and Short Sale Roundtable
Panel Examining Pre-Borrow and Hard Locate Requirements
9-28-2009
Under current rules, firms that maintain securities inventory for trading or lending are permitted to issue multiple locates per share, theoretically issuing multiple thousands or even multiple tens of thousand of shares in locates for every 1,000 shares in inventory. This is not to say that firms today actually issue a limitless number of locates per share. Securities lenders are constrained in issuing locates by the risk of a “short squeeze” or other event that would force simultaneous delivery of all “located” shares. Borrowers are similarly constrained from accepting locates from unreliable lenders who over commit their shares. Lenders and borrowers are encouraged to act prudently because the cost of such an event could outweigh the premiums lenders charge for issuing locates. The regulations do, however, permit firms to assess that risk on a stock-by-stock basis.
At least things have improved a little bit ...
True, the SEC is waking up, but you can't enforce what you can't see. Best hope (finally)? SEC Proposes Consolidated Audit Trail System to Better Track Market Trades
Market maker NITE understands how this works completely!
That is the only statement that I agree with in your unfortunate tutorial, especially since Knight is a beneficial owner of UWRL to the tune of 42,229,521 shares per 13G. Fox guarding the hen house? Sheesh. Think I'll lend myself, say, 20M shares and short-cover-short-cover allllll day long.
Where did you get your info?
The more liquid this security becomes the less the entity shorting this stock will be willing to do so. That is true with any stock.
The higher the percentage of short sales, the higher the percentage of retail buys. The lower the percentage of short sales, the higher the percentage of retail sales.
You're sorta describing bona-fide market making; the original, legitimate purpose of market makers ... the necessity of stepping in and buying/selling a stock from the MM's inventory or risk capital when nobody else would touch the stock. However, your conclusions are out of whack, IMO. You neglect to mention that the 211 market makers in the Pinks are here to make money. The more liquid this security becomes the less the entity shorting this stock will be willing to do so. Wrong. The MM's break out little umbrellas for their drinks and do the Lambada when volume (liquidity) starts pouring in.
See number 4 below ... Knight's Types of Businesses as provided to FINRA ... Trading securities for own account ... which should read as Securities manipulation. License to steal, IMO.
This just in.

Company dumped previous plans with two merger candidates and I'm glad. Tells me they're being more selective. LoadCom was a dog, IMO; obviously demanding more money as explained in a previous post.

I hope your opinion of LoadCom is better than some of the job interviewees. If their opinions are correct, that would probably account for the dilution. LoadCom is holding out for more upfront money?

Read this to your eTrade broker.
This is what you agreed to when you opened your margin account ... as sweeping a statement as a broker can make it ... applies to ALL stocks, marginable or non-marginable. Ask to speak to a supervisor and ask him to email you a statement that eTrade does not lend non-marginable stocks via customer margin accounts under any circumstances. Let us know.
I acknowledge that securities held in my margin account may be pledged, repledged, hypothecated, or rehypothecated for any amount due E*TRADE Clearing in my account(s) or for a greater amount which E*TRADE Clearing, at its sole discretion, may deem necessary.
eTrade has a sense of humor.
I called E-Trade, and they said MMs cannot borrow non-marginable stock.
Sure they can. Ask your eTrade broker to fill in the rest of the sentence and stop misleading people.
eTrade: MM's cannot borrow non-marginable stock if you have a cash account. If you have a margin account, yes, we can loan out your shares - even non-marginable shares - per your Hypothecation Agreement so that we can make a bundle of money and the MM's and block shorters can short the bejeezus out of your stocks.
Check your Hypothecation Agreement, the doc or clause in your initial account registration.
I'm not an eTrader, but here's their official position. I would hammer somebody at eTrade to give you a Loan Exempt Restriction.
Thank you for your message requesting a loan exempt restriction to be placed on your account. Unfortunately, E*Trade does not offer this service as it would be a direct violation of our hypothecation agreement. The alternative to this would be for you to have margin capabilities removed from your account. If this is something you wish to pursue, please contact us at 1-800-ETRADE-1.
See TDA saga. Loan Exempt Restriction possible.

Thnx for asking.

They're monitoring their waterways. The city of Pinghu, adjacent to Shanghai, is "laced with a network of rivers and has an important deep water harbor." In fact, it's the only import & export port in the north of Zhejiang Province. Worth watching, I would think.
If you're serious about a tour of Innotrek installations, I'm sure it could be arranged.
Re: Reverse Merger Beasts ... Excellent. TY. e/m
Once again, Fire Lane, you have proved that you don't have a clue.
you are not trying to pass off that photo as that of being innotrek are you?
Yes, it's Innotrek's photo.
What exactly do you think the company is doing? Simply making cameras and throwing them at municipalities? "Here ya go, guys, start taking snaps and vids of the traffic."
For those who are interested, among other high-tech things, Innotrek is making high-def, digital, R/T security monitoring systems; 20-30 fps which can also spit out jpg's for printing. It can ALSO ID the vehicles. So, keyword: Systems. This requires a digital infrastructure - cables, patch panels, computers, networks to and from exterior cameras and other external networks (databases), not to mention the software and monitoring hardware. So the gov or private facility can get as simple or star-wars sophisticated as they want. Hence, an example of a monitoring facility below.
See Command Center. There's a little more detail - descriptions and schematics - in the Chinese pages.
http://www.innotrek.com/english/page5.html
Monster traffic jam X 2.
The first was 62 miles long and lasted nine days.
Four days later, a second one, unrelated to the first, jammed an expressway for 19 miles.
Wouldn't be surprised if others haven't been reported.
Now if only Innotrek could give us R/T monitoring of all the forces jamming this stock, we'd be getting somewhere.
At least for highway safety and surveillance, Innotrek's Snow Eagle HD Checkpoint Pursuit System sees all and is recognized at all levels of the government.

Just awaiting lawyers review on the merger of China Hydro company with VCTY. VCTY USA based legal counsel just returned from China and VCTY has two agents remaining in China to answer any questions or assist the Hydro merger process.
Rocks or rockets based on pending news?
Plenty of both. Here's two success stories that depended on a frustrated but relatively patient fan base which was eventually rewarded. Too bad they were both killed by mgt incompetence, but they still answer your question.
IBZT and QBID flashbacks. QBID in particular: People suffered through pending, tantalizing but non-existent news for too long ... 9B float ... .0001 to .028. Most of the .0001's and .0002's bailed at .0025. Others were patient enough to ride it for another 60 days to .028.
IBZT: Watched for a year .... the usual pending news ... finally .0022 - .0031 range to .075.
There are more impressive examples that have gone into the stratosphere.
