scratch I'm amazed you haven't gotten any hits on your trip 1 bid.
could be they were WWAAAAAY back in that original 600M queue, but seems the MMs are picking them up more likely.
Smokey once explained how crooks in collusion can do this scam and still make money, but it didn't makes sense to me. if they are going to go BK or just screw UBQU further into the ground, in my mind I'd expect those Mms picking up trip 1s, lose their money.
last time this happened, ballas dumped to 0/1 so you could easily get your 1s, the second you bid them , you closed them.
I've been dumping my trip 2s, now taking about 110 bux loss per million, still got plenty of room to run, still thankfully making green on blue chips. but since I dump about 4M a day I'm amazed scratch you aren't catching any of them.
the ask is barely coming up after a mini dump by ballas. which continues to be good because ballas has to be holding easily 9B of that 10B he just got with nowhere to go. Good. even if it costs me and all of us bag holders, we have spoken. Run your company like a company, not as a piggy bank.
birdys the only positive pumper now has said this might be stupid, but I can easily say if it runs, I'll be fine. if it burns...I'll still have learned quite an expensive lesson. so for now I'll dump my 2s, and if the market still overall makes me a buck, I'll consider dumping my trip 3s.
only other thing I can say that makes patience, is so far it is 100% true that some of the haters post, they ALL are scams. penny pots are scams. also, the entire sector has lost it's love. I'm accumulating ACB because Its the largest grower in Canada, but my point is you can compare rotten apples like UBQU to rotten apples like MJNA, KALY, PURA etc. and also if you hold UBQU and all those others, you might be quite happily surprised when they finally let the pot sector run. maybe during the December santa rally....if there is one, wasn't one in 2018 (and that's only happened like 3 times in NYSE history)
anyhoo. also noted that this board now kind of posts like every other penny with no love: 8-10 posts a day, all haters, saying the same thing. Heck, now I'm kind of a hater, and I'm saying the same thing.
well, overall, 1% hope for tomorrow. 80% chance for more of the same and a dwindling bid slapped right back on the ask. and 19% for something even more scary and horrible.
but hey, bashing Jimmy B is always fun! :)
hopers hoping, haters hating, mocking. bid goes down, some folks claiming their 1s still not getting filled.
whole CBD/Pot/Penny stock sector from CVSI to KALY slowly dropping the death of a thousand cuts.
Pot sector run will come without a doubt.
main reason to hold all penny pots and big pots.
the lid is barely being held on in this industry. it isn't a matter of if it's when.
best time to be in big on a penny is BEFORE the news that pops it, during the misery times.
you do have a point on patterns, we were here before, where you could fill your trip 1s the second you posted them as ballas was dumping in
since no hint of BK, maybe I'll hold the trip 2s and start looking at buying back some more trip 1s.
or just hold. I've got enough.
another 50M dump. but at the moment, not getting slapped on the ask.
I think a MM would be slapping it back on the ask.
who is buying this to hold? any ray of hope there?
true dat again birdys. I'm playing other pot pennies, and being MUCH MUCH more patient before doubling down...waiting for very very deep dips. and doing my DD with both PR and message boards.
even if in the end I lose "potential' gains as you've hinted (which would be all right) or I take a significant bath if UBQU does fail, I've learned A LOT
oh yeah....again today entire penny pot sector didn't do jack yet again. articles are even \being written about the big POT slump.
so UBQU will probably pop when the entire sector pops.
if we go 0/1 it means one can only sell limit at trip 1.
one can only buy market limit at trip 1.
avoid cross trades lol.
also, until a R/S which at this point is very very very unlikely, impossibly for the share price to go down further until BK or say ballas sells and somehow doesn't transfer the stock con artists style which is much more likely
Smokey once commented as to why ballas as he dumps doesn't want to to 0/1, and why the few times it happened we recovered and went back to 1/2 by close.
if you stay 0/1 for more than a certain period of time (I believe it was 2 weeks) you get on a forbes watchlist. The SEC/OTC folks then take an even bigger notice of said stock sitting there at 0/1
company quit or lost its supplier
wouldn't that be the opposite of perfect storm to buy?
again assumes company can REPLACE supplier. and one of the 'positive' qualities of UBQU was cannazzall had some brand love by the users. would a new supplier make the CBD oil with the same recipe? since cannazall is like 80th in most review lists....not sure that would be bad.
I agree birdys if one KNEW this stock was coming back, we should be greedily buying even the trip 2s.
you are correct in your calculus of gains I am technically "giving away"
however, your theory assumes the stock price will move up.
I also am holding enough that a move up WOULD profit me, but a few things have happened in the last few days.
- "mini" dumps prolly from ballas' new 10B shares at 10-50M a day.
- bid just eaten away used to me 600M now 350M and dropping. actually that's good imo. nobody is giving ballas the bid he needs to dump all 10B at trip 1 and walk away with 'only' a mil and also give him the idea he can just go back to the well and double down.
- all the bad vibe continues. no press, no earnings, responses to complainers is "don't worry we'll come back vague.
indeed , if this thing ticked to trip 3 and say I could sell at trip 3...then honestly, I just gave up about 6K.
but I get the feeling we're going no bid or ballas slips and runs before we're going 2/3
and if I'm wrong, say tomorrow we boom, even hit trip 3?...well I'm glad I tempted the luck gods to "punish" me by failing those losses.
more like casino blackjack...one of the better odds for the player even though it's for sure rigged for the house...and one can bet "insurance'
I still appreciate you birdys being the one positive voice remaining on the board. I still believe in the power of positive thinking.
so that's why every time the bid drops 100M, I sell a few mil
true dat. Oh I'm still a big bag holder. but I bailed all my trip 1s, at the low low cost of 8 dollars loss per million
now I'm starting to sell att the .00015s....still at the low low cost of -35 to -40 bux per million.
Thank God the Blue chips cover up these losses so far.
once the sector turns it around? ya I'll still be happy if UBQU takes off.
indeed. today is yet another good day in the markets.
Looks like James is smart enough to not have a stock response, even though it's the same response just worded differently.
Bid's under 400M, I think someone pulled a 100M bid unfilled.
only a matter of time until there won't be a bid at all. does that mean UBQU employees don't get paid? or just no more golf rounds for ballas?
ya tiger been off for a few days. I agree, Jimmy's mini dumping. Apparently he remembered that 10B > 600 M and he remembered what happened when he went no bid by dumping into ALL the bids last time.
of course, maybe he thinks by doing it this way the SEC watchdogs will say "oh that's not a dump"
luckily, I'm able to cover my realized losses as I shed millions of shares with some smarter/luckier bets in blue chips etc.
cya all later on ….KALY? PURA? CVSI lol
10M mini dumps.
Guess ballas is snooping or he has learned or he thinks he's sly.
10M dumps every once in a while. he is eating at the bids, I think it isn't being replenished much.
I'm sure our SEC watchdogs notice. even if he doesn't get to go to tennis court prison, he's not getting bids. he's got about 500M to go or 50K. then he's out of free money.
actually less, as some of us large bag holders sell our trip 1s and lose our trade fees at best.
once ol jimmy goes BK, I am sure our watchdogs who now track UBQU will keep most of us up to date as to his newest scam.
if not this time, Mr. Ballas, next time.
opening trades of 420 and 100
420 could be a joke, but probably 400 "keep trading sideways"
100 is "I need shares"
daily recap:
UBQU did a whole lotta nothin', but then,
so did every other penny pot.
ecal wrote a very nice letter to james ballas, very nice very professional.
Odds are James will respond with a stock reply which doesn't specifically answer the reason for 10B convertible shares...because James will have problems with those multisyllabic words that opened the letter.
oh yeah, and still nothing from all the other poo pennies...I mean pot pennies....so one wouldn't expect much from UBQU
well then it's diluting a loooottttt slower this time.
kinda like quantitative easing circa 2014...
"redoubles its efforts"
that sounds like ballas. and at first I didn't notice it for critique.
but is ballas unintentionally mocking us?
because at the moment, the present "effort" was diluting 10B shares.
and now he's holding another 10B
so effectively, he told the truth, a truth we don't want to see, but he HAS "redoubled his effort" ...that of dilution.
Every time I see the ask drop below 600M it replenishes. every time I see the ask drop below 900M I see it replenish.
Friends, I think we have dumping going on, but at this time it's only in dribs and drabs? MMs taking the 1s, and slapping them right back on the 2s?
have the a/s gone up? is that a true indication any of those new 10B are being released into the stream, possibly slowly?
Read a little of the article.
From investorshub - hmmm potential
quotes ballas ---ooooh bad
says could go back 3000%! back to 0030...it's seen 30 this year: sh'yeah right it did, in January when a lot of us got fooled by the first pump n dump
I am still one of those 5% hopers, but yeah, Ballas hasn't changed a bit. writes a PR piece saying nothing, has his e-mail responses to complainants be put on auto, and may have spent some of that cash he got to hire a pumper to write that pump piece. I think the only reason we haven't seen the 600M bid washed already is that the sic'em bunch may have given ballas pause.
sure a lot of 2s got bought, but nothing needed for the 150K needed to bust through the giant ask wall, from what I can tell every bit of trip 1s acquired get slapped back on the cap. sadly, I think the theory that this stock will survive, as a MM 00015 trade mechanism to make...hundreds of dollars a day until something better comes along.
I think we got ballas hoping his 5% hope that he can attract noobz. sadly, the day of stupid noobz like me going ooooh trip penny just buy a lot!.....ended by 2017...definitely by 2018. I don't see noobz coming in and pumping the stock.
ya ain't gonna get noobz. noobz will be looking into other trip pennies that are just as crap but have had better success with their pump and dumps.
I agree with a few on these boards, only hope for us bag holders are acquisition, we get global news that the sector pumpers are saying like CBD tax breaks or US free market trade in retail, or by some miracle this company's leadership changes.
only hopeful is still that 600M ask, that did get pared down to 570 and then thickened.
yesterday the board was 80% morose, 20% downright torch and pitchfork party for james ballas.
today is was 70% morose, 10% git a rope for ballas, and 20% WTF with this volume? like a sub that has gone past dive levels and starts to pop rivets...this board was kind of back and forth chaos today...
beats yesterday tho.
it is a bummer, if people think my last post was cynical or amused in any way, to be disappointed yet again.
Now I was originally TERRIFIED when ballas posted PR...so in a way my good humor at all is that we didn't have a crisis today.
but loyal longs, all of you who are very very angry? I'm with you. each day I wake up with hope that today , today is the day the PR hits where all the waiting would be rewarded. now at the end of the day, yeah, only reason I'm not raging with you all is because I'm pulling another 12 hour shift at work lol.
Now when I check for PR, it's on biosolar. now my dream of outdoing bluechips is in biosolar, or aurora cannabis, or many of the other penny pots I only put down maybe 500 bux hoping one day to get the notification I should tank up cuz they will go multi bagger.
and to beat a dead horse, this one is the saddest because every bottle of cannazall I gave to friends, they loved it. This is like seeing sears go bankrupt...JC penny soon to follow. I sometimes daydream I was CEO of UBQU cuz I assume (maybe incorrectly) that just keeping a company as good as Hemplife in the black would make its share price soar. Pay off debt, cut budgets to advertising, crypto and all that blah, reinforce ambassador. hire more people...I dunno, unless there is a shortage it seems like just cutting advertising which Smokey has implied may have gone into certain UBQU leaders pockets...would be the answer. this stock might still suck, but it'd be like KALY fighting over .01 instead of trip 1.
sigh, ok there's my vent. of the loyal longs, I probably was the biggest accumulater. but haters, now know I'm with you, but I still hope each day each day that I won't have to take the full bath that I am planning for, and that I don't need to continue to dump shares, and that I'll have enough that if this thing DOES head back toward 0100, I'll be rewarded.
the overall analysis of Ballas PR write
agreed with the haters and non pumpers, he wrote a whole lotta wait and see.
I'm guessing Ballas wrote it because he knows when he wrote fake pump pieces and dumped, he got investors angry. But...investors are angry on no news, so he wrote a piece of waitnsee thinking that would appease the huge angries who want real news...of course, it didn't do jack.
I was very worried we were gonna see all 600M off the bid get eaten by a dump. I was wrong. what did happen is that 100M was chewed off the bid, and....went right back up on the ask at trip 2. I dumped another 3 mil of my lowest trips today …
overall the ONLY good news is that since no panic and no megadump, we still have a relatively strong bid. a lot of us have little to lose by holding and some people are running on that 5% waitnsee hope.
the other 95% just hate this Ballasspit. but by the same token they aren't accumulating (hence the no growth on the bid) nor are they selling and getting out.
In closing. my final conclusion is the ballas PR meant nothing. nothing good, nothing bad. if anything the hopefuls can assume ballas is still in this, and I'd claim from a little cleaner writing (a little cleaner) that someone else is guiding his hand.
pumpers can still have hope. haters can still be content that their hate of ballas is justified.
again, I don't just sell out and hate hate hate because as always, with exception of megagrower aurora cannabis, all the CBDs are getting hit. CVSI spiraling under 4 bux. pumpers claiming once CBD gets tax breaks they'll soar, also that even tho megagrowers want to acquire CBD it'll take as many months as we've suffered here at UBQU. My point is the whole sector, as ballas implied, has suffered difficulties.
but pumpers and haters, please continue. my friends investigating fraud, PLEASE continue, I think that might be the ONLY reason you haven't seen a megadump into no bid trip 1!
overall, this is still the most entertaining message board I follow. Wal marts is a political yelling match, if they MENTION wall mart at all its a miracle, biosolar, a great penny tech....sometimes goes a week without a post.
Hmpf. I expected to see it here since I got it via an investorshub news e-mail.
actually the news is neutral hopeful, thought it would be a pump.
still not on yahoo finance, which is the national enquirer of leftist finance news....
maybe it isn't a dump signal. I hope it isn't.
GLTA...
WARNING WARNING BALLAS WROTE A PR!
I only scanned it but I think it's just an update, so be prepared
"do the dumpty dump, c'mon do the dumpty dump!"
GLTA...
I hate it when they end the day on the 00015
They say HEMPQ outperforms. so I buy some, I make a little green but it drops back to 0090 regardless of news
an ad says PURA could go 25 cents....used to be a 8 cents. now you can get it for 7 and wouldn't be surprised how things are going it might dip under 5 cents.
KALY USMJ all linked blah blah. not like ubqu dropping into trips...but buy KALY at 110, sell it at 125. rinse and repeat
ya, UBQU is a scam, ballas is a baller....but reason no news is because whole sector continues to suck.
saw an ad for "this 7 dollar stock could be worth 25 in 2020!"...that's aurora cannabis. yeah, unlock Canada, and the biggest grower in Canada could supply the world....but at the moment, it dips about 25 cents a day and you might be able to catch it at 6 dollars.
less afraid now about ubqu dropping more....actually more kind of bored.
but no reason to not be patient
ugh....Ballas might be smart enough to set up his gmail account to trigger an automated response lol
sorry for trying to be hopeful there guys....yeah, it's frustrating
and indeed, I lost my poop as we plummeted from 100 all the way down to trip 1.
but now. honestly, I've quit accumulating, mentally written off the last possible 2 trips I hold if this thing goes BK.
with that being said, each day, with that 5% hope, I wake up thinking I might be a multimillionaire....or retire early....
that 1% hope is actually more endorphiney than buying a lotto ticket, which you can only have the hope 2 times a week, and its nowhere near 1
plus, due to what I learned from UBQU, I learned to be more patient buying other crap penny MJs USMJ (thanks smokey for steering me away from that) I'll wait until trip 1 before buying a mil. CVSI, MJNA, KALY, PURA. HEMPQ. these are all stocks I've heard haters say clean up while UBQU festers. right now, I'm patient. none of them going anywhere, and if they dip hard, then I'll do some board DD, see what's going on, read articles, and if I buy dips, they'll be 50% instead of 20% or things like that.
overall, I still have the power of positive thinking. in time, if you hold more than 10M shares of this stock, I believe you will not regret having it.
whole pot sector moved up a bit, but not by much. Fed said going to actually CUT rates (I think they actually want to WIN the trade war with china... um...actually CRUSH china while they are down and end china's one belt one road and all dreams they had of making a communist globalist world, but that's for another thread) ..so love left pot as a hedge bet while in doubt...and money went back to the bluechips and indices.
no news in the whole pot sector tho. but all the articles and ads are still pointing that MJ becomes a 275 billion dollar industry by 2020+
so yeah, I HOPE ballas at this point isn't running the small con, he's sitting there holding a potentially 10M bag of shares he can't dump any more thanks to the heroes of the loyal longs (thanks Tiger, thanks smokey) but I think he's got advisors...smart ones saying ballas at this point has all to lose by dumping and all to gain by holding those 10B shares.
walls stay the same, regardless of my schwab being tweaky. 900M ask, 600M bid. nobody wanting to dump a good sign.
indeed Scratch, GLTA
schwab rolls over at 1bil 50 mil,
but at the moment, I'm seeing bid 136M, ask 224M
uh oh, mms bugging out?
is holding UBQU getting you down?
Filled with anxiety that you might just lose it all?
well, there's a great new thing for your anxiety,
try CANNAZALL. it's cannazall you need.
(buying cannazall may not cause UBQU share price to go up. THC may do more than CBD in this case to alleviate any UBQU anxiety you might have. Do not taunt UBQU. Sit UBQU sit, bad dog (woof!))
the whole sector is kinda quiet.
bluechips are soaring...cuz...murrica….I dunno
but pot continues to not move.
the stock callers are calling for PURA and KALY. CVSI is trying to leverage a claim they'll be sold on shelves at kroeger…
yet...nothing....
so yeah, I'm with the optimists. the whole Durn sector is waiting for something to give....for CBD to be ready to become a household name.
Hi! I'm Mr. Meeseeks! how can I help you?
Ballas: I'd like UBQU's stock price to go up
2 weeks later
the first Mr. Meeseeks to the 400 meeseeks trying to help Ballas
"LOOK! it's never going to go up! no matter what we do, he keeps DUMPING convertible shares!
(another meeseeks) but I can't STAND existing, and as long as ballas lives...)
(first meeseeks) yes, that's the answer!!! we need to KILL...
(jerry enters the room) Hey guys, what's up?
(the meeseeks fall upon jerry)
I love UBQU.
I know the name sounds bad, but I think honestly, the name change wouldn't matter, in fact, UBQU is quite a noticeable standout symbol, with two Us and a Q, and it sounds like the dog that sat and was a good dog back in the day people watched network television...
with that being said, this stock could be called Poopypants macfartfart if it was making money and the stock price was soaring.
Rick Sanchez would be an awesome CEO of UBQU
for about 2 days, then he'd get bored and burn down the plant...
I'm kind of hoping someone else will be writing the PRs for him.
or you might see a new CEO....
Eleanor Q Ironsmith, taught home economics for 40 years in Herpy Herpson High School....to this day, she has never failed to balance a budget...
BUY BUY BUY
the connection this board found (and I trust some of them) is that Ballas is on the XREG board as a "consultant"
man I know the XREG connection could have some good spin.
and sadly, even tho I want to make lots of money I got too much of the cynic in me....
say XREG aquires UBQU....XREG has about as much actual value as ubqu...like 150K
but xreg is at .0022
stock jumps to say trip 8
then ballas dumpity dump dumps
then again, ballas better hope there's 10 billion on the asks running back down to trip 1.
positive in me is that guys at XREG stay ballas' hand. maybe quantitative easing? y'know only a mil a day, something that could be absorbed at trip 8, higher if he doesn't cause any spooking.
well anyhoo, at this point, ANY action would be more interesting than these doldrums.
"may you live in interesting times" - traditional Chinese curse.
the power of positive thinking, my friend:
a lot of possible positive possibilities
- sector overall gets great news pop!
- turns out they buy a facility or more grow land - pop!
- ballas can't manage canazzall which is a great brand, but whomever acquires it sure can - pop!
slow in all penny pots CVSI MJNA USMJ KALY PURA
CVSI is supposed to have news which would make it explode.
pumpers claimed pURA would be at 25 cents right now.
upside: the theory that all pots are holding back to wait for REAL news in the industry could mean Ballas is likewise being patient.
downside: so far all the negative things about ubqu have proven true, sooooo….math is with UBQU continuing to be at 1/2 hovering over BK.
Company on thin ice - well, a bunch of investors on this site wrote the SEC/OTC and I believe even an FBI agent. and smokey and friends got positive results. Since it is almost a 100% assurety that Ballas and UBQU agency have seen posts on this board, this is the biggest theory as to why no dumping. UBQU took out another 10B in convertible, also the math is bad for dumping, since only 700M on the ask.
Not even a squeaky hint of R/S, which would make dumping useful again. However, since UBQU on "thin ice" with SEC, odds are they can't apply for a RS.
positive theories are that Ballas teamed up with larger, bigger, and smarter con men...I mean INVESTORS and Ballas' PRs (regardless of cost) were put on hold because they were "training' investors to expect a dump after each one.
Also at the moment except for local pops, most pennhy pots are slowing down. Of course, one bit of news like CBD gets released from a lot of FDA scrutiny and it can be sold at bigger markets (CVSI just claimed kroeger will sell it on their shelves, if you believe it, get in now it's trading down...shrug)
Ambassador - check out homebrewers recent posts. sounds positive.
negative sentiment about 2 weeks ago was a spate of negative posts of no orders filled no refunds to the BBB. of course, weirdly, that stopped too, or the peeps posting about it stopped checking in. oh yeah, also after that, a lot of us were thinking about orders not being filled. the bearish argument was incompetence and failure on the part of UBQU. but other issues might be going on. of course, the bears could be lying, trying to pick up those trip 1s. but possibly it could be that there is a MJ shortage. happened in canada in 2018. and the various states have to use pot grown in their state.
Also, sure ambassador might slow down if there is no more product to sell or a shortage. but...also...another reason Ballas is NOT posting PR is say, ambassador is done so well that ballas could move 8M, 10M, 20 million dollars of cannazall....well this thing was his pet 4M a year machine to dump shares to bag holders. as tiger money says "he might have a tiger by the tail" ...he'd need REAL investors....could be why he took out another 10B at 0010....maybe someone IS willing to give him 10 million to buy his own growing plant, or his own labs.
Peeps like the product. that's for sure. maybe Ballas can't keep up. maybe ballas wouldn't mind being acquired by say....I dunno...anyone....for 10 million. can't say that would help other than a short term pop to trip 8. then again, I can see a CEO shift to anyone DD says is a guy who can keep a budget and get a company operating in the black again might cause a serious jump.
MMs last week started chewing the stock back and forth after the 10B extra convertible find by Smokey and friends. lots of crazy trading through the 00015 point. even so, a lot of investors are not getting their trip 1s filled. which they say is a good sign.
then it stopped. ask raised to a billion, but bid stays strong between 600M to 700M. Also Smokey and the chart gurus and the sites that say sell hold buy, recently UBQU got 'upgraded' from 32 sells to 24 sells and a hold!....sounds like the Bluth company in "arrested development"
check out scratchgolf's sticky at the top of the board. this comment calmed the whole room including yours truly. As you noted, things have been calm(er) here at UBQU, compared to the dump nightmare in late 2018.
regardless, no point to sell. at trip 1/2, risk 100 bux to maybe make a 1000% gain. buy just a million, even if we pop to a believable 0020 or 0028, 1400 bux. if the game is up later, sell it when they announce the R/s and only lose fees. well, that's the thought, that the stock can't plummet, it can only bounce against trip 1 like a handball court.
well, more than you wanted x100x, but I'm bored lol. Yeah, there's still hope. it's at 10%...the biggest haters have left (for now) or they've changed their handles and expect to come in to pump....there's actually 10% hope for a pop....there's still I'd say a solid 50% hope that you can't afford to lose much more on your present stake.
friday, no news, general markets and pennypots all down a little.
yeah, light trading, probably small hands and mms moving things around for lunch money.
