Let's all hope.
eventually something has to give.
Ballas hasn't run to the dilution well. first, we here at the hub would report it, and the bid wouldn't run up to the billions to support it.'
also, probably at this point he knows the SEC isn't totally ignoring him, so it is likely he's joined up with his scammer buddies and are getting the "investors" in to pump XREG or HLT or whatever
regardless, something will move.
I can't believe I'm writing this, and I don't believe that the ignoring of pot will end with the destruction of orange man bad, but I do believe one day the millennials will rule. they love pot. green new deal. there will be a focus on how to raise funds....pot the emerging industry.
even though MJ and CBD are different things, among the predictable media frenzy you'll get noob investors buying everything, anything, just cuz the media is talking about it and saying it's the bomb.
so if UBQU doesn't do something to make our shares worthless, there WILL be a "run"...maybe even in 2020, maybe even next month.
a lot of my pennies in all sectors are coming off their lows.....
100M sloughed off the ask....
still holding UBQU.
MJNA presently in pump mode, on message boards went from POS to dollar holler.
probably be some play over there for a few days, but one day, we'll get news. one day pumpers just come here to pump all the trip 2s they will eventually buy.
lol not sure I want to say to the board....but I can say something true that doesn't make me look like a full idiot unless we get total bankruptcy:
I bought so many shares at trip 3, trip 2, and especially trip 1 that I break even on my total stake at trip 8
I wish I ONLY had 85 Million worthless shares.
the opposite argument for 150M and "no news" when other penny pots have news coming out the ying yang.
Regardless of whether it's "good" or "bad" one thing was for sure, and we both know ballas has to have knowledge of how his investors feel. and every time he wrote some BS PR, he's dilute dump and so investors didn't get a warm fuzzy anymore at PR
now dilution is over, and most likely my prior theory that ambassador has done well is wrong. so Ballas has NOTHING to write about.
but...also some people here in very good trust standing have noted that the SEC might really be looking at ballas. in fact, I expected ANOTHER run to the 100 BILLION well to make another 10 million at trip 1 if ballas thought it was business as usual.
My guess it isn't. Ballas is still a shifty bastard, but he's got smarter, better shifty bastards, and possibly REAL investors looking to make real money. besides, if ballas had gone to the well again, posters here would have found it, I can guarantee 10 billion more bids at trip 1 wouldn't show up...
so ballas joins up with xreg, or HLT or whatever...and it waits....the hint that "something good" is about to happen
most of us only lose thousands...some even hundreds of thousands if this company went BK, but the 7.5 B holders...they lose millions.
So odds are indeed its calm now because those big boys are at least hoping for one more pop....at best....looking to make millions or billions with a sellout or a real company.
possible 150M valuation discussion?
I know this assumes a LOT of things I am sure even that the longs here don't believe, but I'll shoot for it.
let's assume Pinball's hypothesis there are bigtimers holding 7.5 B of the 10B shares.
also that XREG and UBQU are in financial cahoots.
why would UBQU get bought at .0015, which I am sure would make a lot of peeps (including me) happy if it popped to .0015
well, this is where my best hopeful guess comes in:
ambassador is helping increase orders.
but UBQU was always ballas' dilution cow, expansion to actually cranking out product wasn't in the works. do they even have a facility, or do they buy the product from enzo, slap a label on it and ship?
but the investors see the potential. they want to turn the dilution pig into a real factor that could pump....not just 4M a year....20M, 40M.
if there IS a facility, that's easy, buy it from ballas, and start managing this pig like a real profit aimed company.
if not, well I'm sure there are abandoned sites for sale in nearly bankrupt California, or hell, move it to Washington with no income tax....or just...anywhere.
in closing. yeah, ballas realizes his days of a small time con artist are closing, he sells out for a good 15 mil to the biggies...and then finally the biggies turn this thing around.
I guess my fear if this theory is true that they'd leave us holding the bag is alleviated by the fact that they bought the UBQU shares from ballas….so in order for them to not lose their shirts they'd have to convert ALL UBQU shares to whatever this new system would be.
I know, this is just BS, but that's my hope that ambassador sales turned this thing into a monster beyond ballas' control.
I had at one time 10K shares of workhorse at about a dollar. big miss
I made bad bets on ABBV, and snoop dawg's "stock of choice (gag)" INSY
I had at one time 100 shares of amazon at about 1000. Not so bad, I solde for more green than red....make multiple thousands.
I once had a million shares of HMPQ....when it local popped, I couped my losses. but one day HMPQ could go big
I still hold quite a bit of biosolar, a tech penny....I have decided to hold. it went 5x last year....it will probably do better than that this year.
I had at one time 2000 shares of wal mart at 70...I started to learn, still got those 2000 shares.
my point? UBQU may be a dog. but I've got a lot of that dog. I've now seen too many huge pops, and I've missed winning bigly on those pops from fear and safety. UBQU is at trip 1. harder for it to go down and sew more fear in me. UBQU will pop. for real reasons or fake, I'd be a fool to unload now. guess I don't need to buy XREG. but if I do , unlike UBQU, I will dollar cost average a LOT more scrupulously, waiting for 20 or 30% drops in a day before I dip buy....expecting trip 1 just like ubqu, especially if its the same peeps running these messes.
and I might be able to buy the mansion on the hill.
$UBQU$
ROFL! UBQU shares for all!.
People used to stand in lines for hours to get UBQU shares....and that's a good thing....because there were UBQU shares.
lol I bought a tiny amount in at around 32....it hasn't dipped enough to buy more....nor has it gone up enough to make me think I missed the boat.
noticed UBQU started today only 286M on the ask wall. went back up to 838M....but....like I've preached before, all pennies are the same. UBQU will have its pop regardless of how much it sucks. best to be in on the ground floor.
bears, MMs, trolls and haters oh my
I've been on a lot of these penny stocks. one a tech penny, all the rest pot pennies, and a few ex pot pennies that exploded after (CVSI)
the nay sayers MIGHT be getting more vocal to further drive the price down so they can load up, but there are many types.
The generic nay sayers - they wait until the stock drops in a day (the real reason a penny drops, no new follow up press after a pop....they typically get a PR a month....and humans get bored. sell, chase the next pop) so after the pop, it drops back to pre pop levels, the generic nay sayer comes out and says "wow, guess this stock must suck"
The Market makers - yeah they are trying to sow fear so they can tank up. you might be able to note them by clicking on their names here, see how they've posted. if they've ever been yeah yeah go HMPQ GO! types in the past....they are a market maker, pumping and dumping.
now these are weapons of all the naysayers, but pump n dumpers use them the best
- shady CEO, called the PR rep for the company, learned a lot of bad bad things...but they aren't saying...
- DILUTION! DILUTION!....CONVERTIBLE SHARES! turns out ALL pennies pretty much do convertible shares to cover debt now....beats paying toxic interest.
- I ordered something, and not only didn't it come, the company FINED me for bothering them. horrible customer service!
trolls - as heath ledger joker (mark Hamill was the best joker) said "sometimes you just want to sit back and watch the world burn). these folks come in say "I sold high, and would never buy again, anyone still holding this POS is a fool ! BWAHAHAHAHA.
Haters - similar to pump and dumpers, click on their list, and they are on most sites just hating. I already mentioned the weapons of how to trash the stock. typically these types aren't present during the pop. on yahoo finance they WILL have the balls to show up during a pop and say stuff like "wal mart will be 99 by tomorrow" after yet another great earnings....not hard to predict there, genius, with sell in may and go away and a general robo-short on wal mart constantly, until it pops next announce....but you get my point. they go away during salad days, and come back during starvation days to say "told you so"
so XREG takes UBQU debt:
that implies XREG plans on absorbing UBQU entire.
however, I am truly dumb, need advice.
also soon I may be away from trading so might not be able to get into XREG t right time..or time it too well.
what do UBQU longs recommend?
1- hold UBQU ...all value of shares will be transferred, or UBQU stock will move prior to absorption to xreg
2- sell UBQU as soon as possible, buy XREG
3- hold UBQU but buy XREG. by the time UBQU transfers in equal value to XREG, XREG will get it's pop and no real gain in the original UBQU stakes will not be realized.
any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
oh yeah.
every last one of these in decline...including even TECH pennies in decline.
you hear some wag go "DILUTION! CONVERTED SHARES!"
again....not sure UBQU is any different than any other penny. and because of that, I hold and hope with more hope than despair.
HMPQ has more billions of shares than ubqu!
agreed, guys.
you could buy 5000 lottery tickets and have less chance of winning even a few million.
if this thing goes to 2 cents you get your million....sure, the odds might be 1% in 2019...but beats the lotto.
even then, better than 50% chance you'll see trip 2, and you can double that 5K.
when peeps I've never seen come in here and say "i'd never buy this stock"...my first thought is "if you wouldn't buy it, why did you even show up? to troll?"
UBQU, or HLT or whatever $$
Ya I like your analysis scratch.
but, one problem with it:
if everyone has got in position, including ballas and his pet market makers....why is there 1 BILLION on the ask?
you'd think they'd wanna thin that out and make even more at 3...or 4
So, can JAMES ballas screw us by:
opening up HL Health, LLC
transferring any positive assets to said HL Health LLC leaving the debt on UBQU.
then declaring bankruptcy for UBQU, leaving us with nothing?
or is this possible conversion to HL Health without press releases good for present UBQU shareholders. I'm seriously curious.
well, I went from being down thousands on my stake to being plus 800 bux on my stake in the same time it's raining hard in the blue chips on fear being peddled by the bears on china trade war II lies.
so I sold a little just in case we head back under a penny. BUt I definitely held enough that if this thing goes multipenny or even dollar holler, well, I'll be thinking about early retirement.
What's my point? well we got solid news, similar to workhorse. workhorse got a trump mention they are buying a plant in Michigan. they went from 64 cents to 3.27 and now hovers multiple days at 2.00
HempQ says it is COMMENCING bottling a CBD distillate.
great news.
of course, the bears and haters will claim fake news later, or other complications.
but even if true, peeps bought now, hoping in many months...many...months....HMPQ will start rolling a popular new product off an assembly line, and yeah, boom dollar holler...if you bought even just hundreds of thousands of shares....you get the point.
but I've now been in penny stocks, and penny pots mostly for months now. Investors can't even go DAYS before they start hating, driving down prices, and shorting again.
in recent times, HMPQ sines between 0060 and 0200.
my thoughts? well, with hate pouring everywhere else, we might get lucky and some article writer or Jason bond, motley fool, etc, will call out a local pop, we'll get more momentum, and maybe hit 2 or 3 cents. then you'll see a selloff back to sub penny as the market makers beat the longs to best entry and exit.
I am hoping I'm wrong and instead, we get a tilray or workhorse event, where everyone, taking their profits from fake china trade war II decide to take some of their profits and pay the penny slots, see if they can double their money in 1 or 2 days. then yeah, we get dollar holler event. but similar to tilray, it won't last. even then, I'm sure anyone reading this if that happens, they'll sell and gtfo and wait for it to drop near to penny again.
what they will need is confirmed positive press that yeah, they are bottling, soon they will sell, and wow what a product. then it'll go dollar, sell just enough to make sure you are playing on the house's money, but ride the rest to NASDAQ listing levels.
anyhoo, had a million shares yesterday, now I have half a mil. I do expect it to come back to 60....prolly in a month maybe two....but until then....I'll hold and when it comes down, I'll try to be patient and dollar cost average down every -20%
But regardless, congrats HMPQ on being one of the few pennypots and overall stocks today that saved me from having a very very bad day on paper.
Here's hoping we can have an event pop this like what happened to workhorse.
MULTI DOLLAH HOLLER!
Regardless of whether this sinks back to less htan a buck (which I will be there to buy mass quantities) or whether it heads to 5 dollar territory (where I made a 500 dollar purchase and will double my money)
I want to congratulate a penny stock that did a massive big pop. Only seen it three times personally since I don't chase the ready-to-pop pennies like the Jason bond trader guys who advertise on YouTube do.
I also saw tilray go from 50 to 300.....and...now it's back at 50.
Regardless, it's a GREAT feeling to see it when it does.
ya I know the software part is dead.
I liked the Ubiquitous part. if problems finding Hemplife, and it needs Hemp in the name for the searches, I just threw that out.
but yeah, I get it.
Name change at this point would maybe cause a local pop but more frighteningly introduce the reverse split.
there could still be an upside even to that, but I have given up apologizing for ballas.
what holding and trading UBQU is like on a daily basis
so I read that latest post.
….yeah yeah ceo "PS"....we've been talking about that now for like...forever...lemme check your post history....ah first UBQU post in months if at all.
CEO claimed 100% revenues? hunh?
wha? hunh?....it's bad but not as bad as this guy is saying
did you.....like get a lot of those 400M 1s and now pissed you haven't flipped them already? or maybe you were the 150M dumper today?
hunh?
ouch my brain hurts.
then the copy of ambassador growth from nov 25 to jan 31st...actually, that's kinda hopeful.
I leave you all with the extended version of what holding and trading UBQU is like on a daily basis.
Tiger I may be misrepresenting smokey, but it is to my understanding that in the charter of the company, there is a line where the executives claim no fiduciary responsibility to shareholders.
so written for sure. maybe spoken on that confererence call to which I was not present, and definitely implied on actions taken with convertible shares etc.
Honestly, at this point we longs definitely have a tiger by the tail.
I don't necessarily agree with smokey that earnings should be higher than they are at present due to ambassador. I think ambassador could cause the viral event to cause explosive demand for product.
My fear is that since ballas doesn't care, he isn't GEARING up for such an event.
why am I not panicking yet?
1 - if that happened, it would still cause a local pop OR force him to sell to someone who could meet the demand
2 - as smokey himself said, down 99% not much more downside, and every dog has its day.
3 - sure ballas is making money by dumping hence he doesn't care....but he's making less and less, MMs are covering shorts.....as Einstein is accredited "insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results"...Ballas is kind of forced to let this stock run or he might not find the new blood to keep this "alternate" way of making money going to his benefit.
I know I get a lot of flack for comparing to bluechips
but...when UBQU dumped, the whole market dumped.
fear is on sale everywhere today!
and sometimes, the blue chip fellows run to the otc.
but right now HEMPQ, LXRP ain't doin nothing. KALY is up 7%, but that's a typical upswing for a penny, it isn't huge, and sadly I sold most of it for green and am waiting for a painful entry point.
this is just profit taking mixed with a bunch of no news mixed with extra speshul fearstirring which has been in vogue since October 2018.
nowhere to run to nowhere to hide. For now...weather it out.
I really didn't think we were gonna break 2s today anyhoo...
ugh, write an optimistically cautious piece, get a 200M dump.
I should stop being optimistic.
name change
perhaps we , and the ballas team is mis-thinking this.
How about a compromise, change the name to Ubiquitous Hempware
so far no big 100M+ dump after PR.
I am thinking that Friday's 200M+ dump was a MM.
noticing some newbs coming in marveling at the ask cap.
I also could be wrong, but I'm guessing MMs made a play to scare up more 1s. they have about 400M 1s, and they put them all on the 2s to get quick 100%
and so far, no more dump machine. and, the PR which I originally spun negatively, turned into a positive spin on the board.
sure, only 50M so far today, but as typical without a dump, accumulation is in the upward direction, no new slaps so far onto the 2s.
without the dump, the MMs don't have the chaos where they can get the next level down.
too much damage to the stock so far to get those that tanked bigly to tank so much more, so their hopes to make 100% quickly isn't happening.
I agree, launch happens, probably not today, but if no big dump from ballas, eventually the MMs will realize they can get 200% by lifting the cap to 3
wasting away in pennyUBQUville
looking for my, lost cost to change
some people say, there's a Ballas to blame,
but I know
it's just how OTC works....
I ordered 200 bux (not an ambassador) and I was told by one person I gifted to they shall buy more on their own.
so yeah, even in my microverse I see revenues going up.
that will even if ballas mis-fid-douche-iaries all the earnings, will attract noobs and add to the viral event.
and if ballas continues to douche, cause an even bigger upswell for a management change of a great company.
if he rights his sails, excellent. more power to him, I'll forgive his past digressions.
ya, 3.5 Mil in revenue, and an ADDITIONAL 50K in Q1 2019 from an entity that JUST launched in that new year. right out the stall.
I do think we could be looking at maybe....maybe...5M revenue for 2019....if ambassador exponentially climbs even faster....um.....ya 10M isn't unfeasible (in a system where ballas LETS all orders be filled, etc)
Hey the pumpers are here:
let's encourage them.....one more time for power of positive thinking!
I know I'm aacting kinda schizo today...but right now the facts are negative, but what we do need here is positive thinking. I've experienced it actually, even the pain of how much UBQU has dropped has been manageable thanks to the power.
so yeah, GLTA everybody. positive thinking. let's try it.
true Jdl. and I really wish I didn't feel the need to keep being cynical with the haters, but at this point if you are a long you need to know.
it's easy for Ballas to report a profit:
1- he can just fudge all the debt numbers.
2- where other companies might put every last bit of earnings against the debt to pay it down, Ballas can still even report his non convertible debt honestly, NOT pay it down 100%...and leave a little for profit. Similar to say, skipping a mortgage payment on your house (going into additional debt later with penalties) but claiming that skipped mortgage payment as addition to your bank.
but indeed, hopefully it might bring in new blood to soak up what might be another toxic dump today. I'm still hoping that Ballas doesn't increase the o/s into those "locked" 5B shares, hopefully by now he KNOWS a BUNCH of us are WATCHING him very closely on that.
but he still has MMs churning this thing at 1/2 for him. actually hopefully, so he doesn't need to dump those 5B shares. if the Mms are sharing their 1K per 1K invested profits with ballas, he might not need to dump.
I actually feel sad for new blood if and only if this thing doesn't get let go and it pops huge in the future.
I still am more than 50% optimistic for a brighter future. sadly, I'm only 2% optimistic that that brighter future will be today.
Yield to stop
I'll be honest, I have No CLUE what that's about, here's my guess:
there is some OTC site out there that analyzes pennies on the OTC and says whether to buy or sell it.
so going from Yield to STOP on UBQU is bad, very bad.
I'm glad posters here posted that tho, since I do believe sentiment does get back to ballas, perhaps his advisers will tell him to alter course.
Regardless, I raise the probability of this thing going to 0/1 to 25%
the latest PR
Okay, I see a mix of good, horrible and whu? responses.
I'll admit, I've been wrong before but my overall take is expected leaning towards bad but that's ok cuz we are 1/2 already so it won't cause a panic sell.
Ok, Q3 was tepid with 975K earnings, 125K profit OOPS no 15K profit! ballas admittedly cooking the books and being super super super DUMB about it.
Regardless, I think we dropped off from 100 to now based on that 15K change.
Always said 2018 Q4 pre ambassador would be tepid, thought he's SKIP it. but ballas is honest in his stupidity or corruption. so instead, he does what mark twain said was worse than a damn lie....he used statistics. He published the WHOLE year.
Ya, 3.7 mil sounds better than the LESS than 900K and a DOWNTURN compared to 2017. 5K total profit....well that sounds like he cooked that also, what? if he had +15K in Q3 and I \swear he had plus profit in Q2 and Q1, that means he lost money bigly in Q4 or he continues to cook the books.
Now Smokey, ballas' haters and other critics will grab the year fins when they hit pour over them and tell you the pros and cons, I am only guessing, hoping and honestly with a bit of cynicism commenting, still trying to figure how to make money assuming it's a corrupt pig.
but if debt is way down, expenses which appear to be hidden luxuries for ballas and friends is gone, and monies are into ambassador and advertising (then again, everyone says theballas youtube videos are a total lame bust) ...then ambassador.
Ballas gets one more try, if Q1 2019 shows that ambassador has a chance to give the "viral event"....then yeah, hold the course.
overall with 700M on bid and 500M on ask at 1/2, and the piossibility ballas was lying out his ass on no more dumping, you might see 700M at 1s get eaten up bigly.
then again, maybe there will be noobz out there, or longs who disagree with my cynicism might cause a local pop. I don't give it huge odds though. but maybe there are noobz like I was who stil would go "ooh over sold with SO MUCH potential and look it makes a profit while other CBD pennypots post negative income....and only 20K for 100 million shares? buy buy buy
more likely, now I give a 20% chance that ballas is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
stupid we see a billion or so dumped and we're looking at 0/1.
most likely I am guessing tho that the 700M on the bid will get a good chew, yhou might see the 2 billion MM specter show up on the ask. and ballas will be willing to get 50K for the 5 billion he has left. we might get a few push buys into the 2s to buoy the price and keep the longs from groaning in another day of on-paper pain.
you might also see more and more crowds on the 2s just to unload plus the MMs knowing that this thing will last longer and 10K profit pretty much guaranteed (the time frame is the only question mark now) if for every 1 you gain you slap on the ask at 2.
and we'll continue to wait, and pray for the viral event.
at least it isnt' name change plus RS.
also, at least Ballas continues to be ballas. I'll give that for a crook, his PRs are filled with ….weird and creepy honesty. perhaps he's well advised.
I still don't feel this is a reason for a panic sell. I hope I'm wrong, but I expect at the end of the day the hopefuls will say "wtf?" and the trolls and haters will come out and say pretty much what I'm saying but in 10 words littered with "POS" and making you feel bad for being a long, if you are.
on the optimistic side, today is the day to possibly tank up on 1s, if that is your goal. I think I'm gonna try for a few more million. maybe.
hope I'm wrong, hope this calls in some noobz and tankers.
GLTA, and warmest regards.
LOL! YA but I got that one yesterday....and...it's gone
but the ACTUAL one for a day after trading ubqu?
post market bid, 329M, ask 33M
Not 100% sure schwab reports the GLTs well, since I swear every day we get the 1s all sold back on ask, and the bid back to 800M< to 2B.
even so, it's possible that the MMs might have a slow day capping the ask or maybe if not GLT, they might one day want to let this thing run.
and whoever bought those 400M 1s even if it was to slap them on 2 and make 20K, they either believe or are flat out told that UBQU is going to be around long enough for them to get their money's worth.
again to reiterate a post form yesterday, I bought maybe 3 packets of 100K, 50k, 175K just to keep it at the 2s, limit 0002....and the first 20K of each buy (when price at 1) was either 0015, or 0001.
of course my fee is only 4.95 if you are buying such tiny packets with higher fees or you don't haver so many shares that a 4.95 dollar fee loss is nothing compared to the paper losses of a single tick, perhaps you don't want to do that.
everything I learned about trading I learned from smokey and the school of hard knox.
trading is like running a marathon, skeet shooting, calculus equations or excel data entry...you can read all about it, watch videos, but you have to actually experience doing it a thousand times before you get a good feel.
Maybe i'm in a bad matrix, and everything bad the negative nellies predict about this stock comes true instead of going well.
Ballas did grab a company with stock and turned it into his own dilution soaked piggy bank.
but my instinct tells me he grabbed a tiger by its tail when he allowed ambassador. also, I've now bought 6 of the CBD oil vials and given them around.
nothing wrong with the product, I can tell you that.
I think canazzall may outlast ballas
well then lucky, welcome to the cartel!
so far nobody in our group has said panic and sell.
you'd have to dig through a lot of posts to see my rambles. I recommend Smokey 13's daily posts
in the end. it is a Friday and next week is another week. even Friday trading on otc pennycrap has a different flavor than other days.
we are 60% optimistic this should turn around and head up, 40% pessimistic that it'll either grind at 1/2 forever or worse.
I'd say if you want more risk, catch some 1s to dollar cost average...or just be ready with the finger over the button to sell into the 1s in a rage dump before we head to 0/1
if no accumulating but riding this nuke all the way down slim pickens style is your play...walk away....it's like watching a train wreck here....and most OTC pennycrap who survive trips do it a month after you stop watching them.
"create fake projects and money..."
yep, actually you and I are in agreement.
I believe there is no money backing these diluted shares.
no there are a lot of longs who know each other, and chat.
I refer to that fascesiously as the cartel.
we are not the giant MMs who are bouncing this thing between 1 and 2 at 200M a pop.
are you one of those MMs?
mike I hope you are right and that ballas has a fiduciary responsibility at least to this big fish lender.
...I hope you are.
