That would be sweet.
I ended up getting too busy at work and didn't put my power hour slap down.
Good day today. The new base continues to be built. Will continue to accumulate more APII tomorrow but it seems as if a run is imminent.
yesterdays spread was crazy.
i swear i saw the spread being more than double the share price!
i have this feeling that KNBA is going to pop one day and i am still going to be upset that i didnt get more. the longer we wait, the more chances i get to find money and accumulate on my OTC patience plays.
interesting..
maybe i will join you in grabbing more APII before the day is out.
i have had a bid for 7000 at 0.105 pretty much the whole morning and so far ive received 0 shares.
come on APII, i would like to have a certain amount of shares before you make moves to the upside!
may have to slap the ask this afternoon.
I'm interested to see how fast this moves once more info is released.
Hoping we can rise and sustain a price instead a climb and drop.
Still looking to add to my APII holdings - just hoping to get my desired total amount of shares before we move much higher.
Seems like the time. Awareness is growing.
News this year.
New year with new potential deals.
Core wafer is legit with numbers.
APII can double from here and still have a lot more room for growth.
The chit chat is back and it seems a move is coming.
Glad I have been adding to my original buys from months ago.
Still looking to get more APII this week. We can move after that. : )
MMs can execute your orders (if routed through them) or execute their own.
They are there to ensure liquidity in the market but since they can see orders, L2, etc they can profit through the swings and bid-ask spread.
hope this helps.
yessir mr HT.
been some time since i last saw that buffet picture.
i wouldn't be surprised if many people who didn't sell, or sold a small portion, during PSPW's run last year have put this on the backburner and are just letting it sit until it makes another move.
i would guess the biggest piece of news everyone is waiting on is financing. given the numbers (~200 M) related to the one project which was recently in a news release, it seems as if this years financing will have to be larger than last years 50M.
albeit there isnt the hype of the seawind merger (including intl.) but OTC players love numbers.
agreed.
just trying to get better in general with my investing and my associated investing strategies and rules.
ive seen a few in my short OTC life which sat at such cheap prices for a long time before suddenly making a move. the move is usually too quick to get a similar profit to those already in and i would like this to be one of my first golden eggs.
you dont know when its gonnna hatch, or whats going to come out, but the shiny details we know create intrigue and the thoughts of potential, potential, potential.
ps - got a friend whos on vacation in Japan right now but unfortunately i do not think he has any time to hit up one of the pachinko parlors. would be some good first hand DD if he did though.
yeah, im gonna say that i like mr bonar less as time goes on.
STTN has potential but so does almost any penny play.
still have the same amount of shares here ive had for many months now but at this point they are a sunk cost.
if this moves up throughout the year, good stuff.
if not, lessons learned.
i would love to see you (plano) make a killing here but that doesn't seem likely as of now. will continue watching but not expecting much.
yessir, we await the next KNBA news release.
some are patient and some are anxious.
i put a bit of money here in december and may put some more sometime this month if feasible.
in the end they do appear to have physical locations with running operations. more to that, they are running a game which seems to be loved by the surrounding residents.
new expectations being set. :)
anytime a company down here states 'we will be <bla bla bla>' which could be an agreement, providing status update, completing projects, whatever may be, it creates a new expectation.
how often are expectations met down in this world? not often.
they stated something would come out this week - and it did.
they are stating we will see some re-branding and updates - we wait and see.
going to be something to watch for sure. lets hope im watching APII for all the right reasons because i own more shares of APII than any other pink/OTC stock.
"We will soon be releasing additional announcements pertaining to our progress in the magnetics business unit and our progress in rebranding the company with Core Wafer Systems as the focal point. Actions to be taken in re-branding APII will include a new company name, logo, and increasing executive leadership announcements."
expectations being set.
From BoD announcement:
"Greg Miller brings to the board more than 16 years of experience in the IT and semiconductor industries. He has a vast knowledge on sales growth opportunities while establishing customer and product roadmaps and harnessing relationship management techniques. His involvement will be crucial to APII as they make way with new business offerings, international sales, and growth into emerging markets.
Greg is currently the Sales and Business Manager for Core Wafer Systems, a leader in semiconductor and disc drive manufacturing solutions. Greg was previously a Service and Consulting Manager with Agilent Technologies where he was responsible for technical evaluations, pre-sales, and leading project management for complex projects. He also was a Senior Level Engineer within the Marketing, Research & Development, and Corporate IT departments within Hewlett Packard."
Date/Time (EDT) Net Amount Transaction
01/05/2012 14:19:25 $-538.50 Bought 4,850 APII @ $0.11 Detail
01/05/2012 14:19:24 $-21.45 Bought 150 APII @ $0.11 Detail
5000 @ $0.11 at 14:19:24/25
so yeah, time was correct but i picked up more than 100 shares of APII.
: )
don't own many pennies/OTC these days but still holding this one and looking for a good 2012.
so i just went to cancel my bid for 5k at 0.111 that wasnt being filled even though bid, ask and recent execution were all below that price.
the moment i hit cancel, the status changed to 'cancelling' and suddenly i noticed the last trade price was 0.11.
i refreshed my page and of course my bid executed at 0.11.
just an fyi/fwiw.
i have a bid for some APII at 0.111.
been sitting there for most of the morning and havent been hit yet.
but yes, looks like there is still a lot on the bid at 0.11.
just slapped APII for a bit at 0.14
my bids at 0.125, 0.13, 0.135 were not being filled today and after watching the last few weeks i decided to jump in for a bit more.
would love to see a nice profit gained here to kick off 2012.
i have a bid in at 0.125
would love to see that picked up just before we move up and close a penny, or a few, higher.
but hey, i am not complaining if this hits >20 today. : )
that would be an amazing way to kick off my/our 2012 investing year.
got some lofty goals and this going anywhere above 35ish will look good to me.
interesting way to kick off the new year and just when i was looking to add.
watching the opening action - might have to just jump in for a bit more.
volume does seem to be preceding the rise.
Yeah, just been reviewing the last few weeks.
Seems like a pattern in the penny world which is why I am considering picking up some more here.
Time will confirm our gut feelings, but hey, we have waited a while and a little bit more is not gonna change that. There's good potential for a bigger run this year and I remember how nice this moved up from teens to over .30.
Just started looking at my pennies again as all turned into patience plays EoY 2011.
Glad to see this moving up again and things moving forward. Really wishing I picked up a bunch in single digit but that's what happens when you save for other things in life instead.
Will be watching closely.
Yeah, interesting choice of day.
I know I'm like others wishing I could scooped up some 20s.
Still trying to figure out how to get 50% more shares. : /
Wouldn't mind that so I can buy back in.
hey, if you dont mind me asking, which puts are you playing exactly?
also, appreciate the advice.
i have been looking for points to sell and minimize my exposure as ive already taken a very large hit (relative to my investment portfolio) due to FIOs movements in the past month.
got out of almost all my FIO this morning but will definitely be watching it for many days and months moving forward.
this reminds me of YNDX as a similar thing happened to me there. both drop like anvils in bad times and rocket up during good times.
current big issue is watching for the tops and protecting those profits. my gut felt the top coming, but my actions didnt match.
*Edit: just saw the price, and my final VTSO trade executed. officially hold 0 here but damn those new equity values in my account hurt.
hahaha. thats awesome.
i hope you get to do that and report back.
i will be going to japan in the future, just dont know when yet. that damn money thing is always getting in the way.
i don't mind us establishing a strong base of .10ish until something is finally released by the company.
i am trying to go through all the people i know and which of them speaks (and can read) japanese.
much appreciated posting brother; nice to see the photos and hear that particular blog is being updated.
in response to your message..
for now i have focused on stocks and was considering starting options more in 2012.
i know all the theory and how the world believes the market and options should work, but i haven't traded them yet in the real world. still watching them to see how they operate within reality as most of what you learn in theory is a bunch of BS.
seriously considering my entire holdings here until an uptrend starts establishing itself. i clearly f'd up my rules with this play and it cost me severely.
for those that made money, im happy for you. one day i hope to see green again in my account. for now, a break may be needed.
possibly go back to more learning and watching.
good post and agree. the game is to make money and you seem to be on the right side of the things right now.
i have been on the wrong side for the past month or 2 and its taught me some lessons. hurts, but i expect 2012 to be a better investment year for me.
not disputing the ignorance of article writers or financial analysts, however, the lock-up period has been known since before their expectations/targets were set. we can't say with vindication that their calculation includes the correct effect of the lockup period because like economics, many often predict wrong.
also, many investors are just as ignorant when reading articles such as the one i posted a link to. that's where the herd mentality comes from.
i see your point about adding shares to the tradeable float would decrease the SP, which is why i have adjusted my holdings here, but there are still unknowns with the world, US and euro economies which could have a large impact on the SP since FIO is a leader in an emerging industry.
FBN Securities Analysts Initiate Coverage on Fusion-IO (FIO)
http://localizedusa.com/2011/12/14/fbn-securities-analysts-now-covering-fusion-io-fio-stock/
price targets from different companies around $32 and $35
are you sure about the date?
I read it was "approximately 11,944,719 shares [that] will be eligible for sale upon expiration of the lock-up agreements for this offering, at various times beginning on December 19, 2011, subject to extensions under certain circumstances."
sounds good TakeChances.
and yes, i agree with your statement about PRs. then again, we are hoping the audited financials show that we have something really good here and then the PR brings in more investors.
like you, i dont have a paid subscription yet so no responding to PMs. need to make some serious coin before that slides up my priority list.
respect on the PM - it really just reminded me of myself and things i have said to my friends in the past. take accountability even if it wasn't 100% your fault. i find that accountability is fading quality but is always nice to see.
still got more cash in my account but im trying to improve my trading/investing and as such i am trying to have more patience between buys unless i see something significant enough for the that rule (in my 'trading strategies' mental book) to bend.
My thoughts were similar. Integrity straight up.
I love it.
Liking this board more every week and that's before the price movement we expect.
yeah, i thought so but i read the posts late at night so didn't want to make that comment unless i knew for sure.
i use Questrade as i am in Canada.
i just noticed there was a lot more volume today and checked my broker.. 5000 bought at 0.101. interesting that i couldn't buy at 0.105 but they sold to me at 0.101.
not gonna read much into it though - low volume.
so i have my starter positions.. depending on how things go i may be adding here soon enough.
yeah, i got home and was happy because it seemed as 5000 volume was added at a price below my bid.
but then when i signed-in to my broker there were no executions.
by small im assuming you mean less than 5000 shares, which i have seen happen more times than having a bid of 5000 shares and still being skipped.
we will see if i get any today. its a GTC order for now.
nice buy.
had a bid for 5000 @ 0.105 yesterday and today.
yesterday there was a 5000 sell at 0.101 and today you picked up 5000 at 0.1011 (I think) but I've had 0 bids execute.
just moved my bid to 0.101 to see if it changes anything.
thanks for that information. always more to learn about the penny world and the investors/traders that lurk in these waters.
my initial bid is in and i look forward to joining the KNBA patience party.
oh and the lights on comparison to audited financials is spot on. im excited.
