Rather see them putting it to use for future growth over giving extra to the wasteful govt. entitlement crowd. Spend it to the penny.
Ok, you and wobbly have me convinced. Wait. Why would they be doing it? Dang now I'm confused again. Maybe "they" are just trying to not be undercut by another crappy bid for their customer.
Kinda like an auction bids stop it's sold if reserve is met, reserve is not met no selly. Done.
I can put in at ask it fills at where highest bid is filling not at the number I put in. Partial fills then bump to the volume / bid amount. AON's are the blockers. Then it's the average up or down fill where ever it can be made up.
Not arguing it, just My simple thinking.
Enjoying a bottle of KRED and dropped in, think I'll go watch the grass grow. Market seems lack luster today.
6.21
Do you realize it was sarcasm?
nowy:
Also for what it's worth, even when it does get a big pop it will get so distributed at that point it will be right back down. My sense from what is "invested" here.
If so I would have to say coo would reverse split them to the current values.
umm.... sure why not. (walks off whistling)
With the market interest factored in for new technology,
give or take whether competition has some of the tech working
I would approximate
.03 ish Rounded off of course.
Where ya been? Been missin ya. Things getting a wee bit interestin.
See I tole you! They done found out I exposed em! Now theyer' here! I gotta hide!
Ok people I said 4.70 was the break even. There was nothing in the comment about wanting to revisit it....!?!?!
I'll go with a little pullback to reset the charts for the next leg up as the chart techy's were probably nervous about it pinging off the overbought.
Naw, it's them evil M&M's manippleatin evrythang. They done took out santy clause, saw that on the tely. Now they is tryin to take over the market wif that mind manippleatin candy they putting out, saw that on the innernet thangy.
LOL, The market goes where the money is moving...
PS: You probably sent some mms / brokers into a serious pucker moment and gave you breathing room to reconsider and they would just say it is what it is until it goes off.
The short bears did a better job than the long bulls here today.
Shaky spongy thing. haha Pick any stock you would love to have and look at the volume. Only amongst heavy hitters would that maybe get soaked up.
Still LMAO! Gotta go do some real work. Y'all keep the pps down so I can scoop up a load next week. lol
Having some chuckles this AM but damn, with that I fell out of my chair LMAO!
LMAO! There's your acorn!
No mischief, just partial fills from other sells. You want 10000 acorns I only have 6000 acorns to sell I have to wait for some more to fall from the tree. Apparently some acorn threw out some cheap acorns and your broker did you the favor for the 4000 more.
Smart money just goes in and doesn't worry about intraday. Try the ask see what happens pretty sure the mean ole mm's won't block it. lol
Mean ole mm's are probably telling "smart money" to put in at ask we're ready to move it if y'all quit putting in crappy bids for a few shares more. They just need to fill their customers buy orders some how.
Just my simple thinking.
Looks like we're setting in a nice base here.
If ye all want a good idea of how it will rebound get an avg. of the other solar stocks. They tend to pull each other up and down.
Been in spwr for a while. SLTD shorter period.
A snippet from AP about google's stock split (fwiw, trouble in the google camp?):
Yet many investors have become frustrated with Page's unwavering belief that Google should be spending billions on far-flung projects ranging from driverless cars to diabetes-controlling contact lenses that may take years to pay off and have little to do with the company's main business of search and digital advertising. The big spending is one reason Google's stock price is about 2 percent below where it stood at the end of 2013, while the Standard & Poor's 500 index has climbed 11 percent.
What the heck did ya'll do over here....? Oh wait... welcome to nasdaq. Nice Volume.
Was looking for the post about wal mart not being vendor friendly.
Gave up. Saw this on MSN Money.
Wal Mart pressures suppliers to lower cost:
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. is increasing the pressure on suppliers to cut the cost of their products, in an effort to regain the mantle of low-price leader and turn around its sluggish U.S. sales.
The retailing behemoth says it has been telling suppliers to forgo investments in joint marketing with the retailer and plow the savings into lower prices instead. Makers of branded consumer products from diapers to yogurt typically earmark a portion of their budgets for marketing with Wal-Mart, spending on things like eye-catching product displays and online advertisements.
Wal-Mart has long had a reputation for pressing its suppliers to cut costs to help lower prices, but the retailer’s new leadership has embraced the concept with fresh vigor. Wal-Mart’s price advantage against its competitors has been eroded, and it has steadily been losing market share in the U.S. since the recession ended, while rivals including Kroger Co. and Costco Wholesale Corp. gained share, according to data from the consultancy Kantar Retail.
With the growth of dollar stores and other discounters, Wal-Mart is facing ever more competition on price, which for many customers is the most important selling point.
The new dictate on prices is creating tension with companies that supply the hundreds of thousands of products on Wal-Mart’s shelves.

While lowering prices by shaving down marketing budgets may help Wal-Mart draw more customers, it gives suppliers less control over how their products are displayed or promoted, and less ability to make them stand out against store brands or other rivals. That is an issue when Wal-Mart and other chains are trumpeting their private-label house brands.
The zeal on pricing is part of a push by new Chief Executive Doug McMillon and U.S. head Greg Foran to turn around Wal-Mart’s core domestic business, which booked $288 billion in sales in the year ended Jan. 31, 60% of the company’s total. While U.S. sales were up 3% last year, the growth was a scant 0.5% excluding newly opened stores, and the division’s profit fell.
With the heavy investments related to its promise to raise wages and the development of a vast e-commerce business, Wal-Mart has fewer options for chipping away at costs, putting suppliers in the cross hairs.
Messrs. Foran and McMillon laid out the pricing message during a private meeting with suppliers in February. They want suppliers to operate with the same everyday low cost model that Wal-Mart employs from top to bottom.
“They kept pushing, ‘We’re going back to basics, it’s all about low pricing,’ ” said one supplier who attended the meeting.
Mr. Foran, who became president and CEO of Wal-Mart’s U.S. business in August after leading the Asia division, plans to address Wall Street analysts Wednesday to lay out in more detail his plans for the U.S. business.
Financial arrangements between suppliers and big retailers aren’t just a matter of coming to terms on volumes and a wholesale price. They often also bundle in a host of extras including slotting fees, funds for special promotional discounts and money to pay for shared marketing. The latter is particularly important for makers of branded consumer goods.
“We want to get back to a point where we are playing offense with price because of the way we go to market,” Mr. McMillon said, according to a transcript. “Our pricing strategy is aimed at one objective, and that is building trust.”
The effort to get suppliers to reallocate the marketing investments reinforces the company’s long-standing business strategy to keep costs low, said Deisha Barnett, a Wal-Mart spokeswoman. “It’s a proven business model that works,” she said. “We think the smart investment is to put the dollars into price.”
Former Wal-Mart employee Derek Ridenoure now works at C.F. Sauer Co., a company that supplies the retailer with spices, seasoning mixes and other packaged food products. He said a team at Wal-Mart closely monitors commodity prices and asks suppliers to reduce costs when it observes downward trends in ingredients prices.
After a long slide left soybean prices at a multiyear low recently, the retailer asked Mr. Ridenoure this year to cut his prices. Soybean oil is a key ingredient in many condiments made by C.F. Sauer.
“I pushed back initially,” Mr. Ridenoure said, reasoning that soybean prices could march higher if farmers switched to other crops.
Wal-Mart’s response was that if soybean prices marched higher, suppliers could take their prices up again. Mr. Ridenoure’s company ultimately agreed to cut costs by giving discounts for bigger orders.
Recently, in what was widely seen as a move to pressure Procter & Gamble Co. to lower prices of its popular Tide detergent, Wal-Mart struck a deal with consumer products company Henkel AG to introduce a new premium-priced detergent brand, Persil, exclusively in its stores. Wal-Mart is selling Persil at the same price as Tide, and displaying it on shelves next to Tide.
Ms. Barnett said Wal-Mart decided to start selling Persil in the U.S. to broaden the assortment in its laundry aisle. A P&G spokesman declined to comment about its relationship with Wal-Mart, but said the company welcomes competition in the detergent business.
Wal-Mart’s U.S. division is in the early stages of a turnaround, having just posted two straight quarters of positive same-store sales after a long slump. Executives at the retailer have attributed part of the increase to falling gasoline prices, which have led some shoppers to spend more and to make the longer drive to the stores.
The gains are tenuous, however, and Mr. Foran has been meeting with former executives to understand what gave the retailer an edge during its heyday. The native New Zealander is a devotee of former Wal-Mart executive and board member Jack Shewmaker, who developed the company’s everyday-low- price strategy and died in 2010.
Looney tunes has a better reputation than that.
Most everything that comes out of the orient is fraud, pirated, scammed, stolen, lies, etc., etc., etc.
Adjectives can go on for days.
Think I'll stick with EPGL news.
No it was real. It was AH trading for a few long timers that got a special invitation. Thought you were one of us too. Oh well sorry you missed out.
Ok, stop picking on people who buy the peak of news.
4.75 was my break even. : ) Rollin Rollin Rollin
Can't remember when the snippet I threw out but Apple was wanting to stay away from the Medical arena. As of recent too politically involved (Cook Clown).
EPGL seems to want to be in the middle of the med side too, hence Cooper.
But...never know when they come back a knocking.
Come on EPGL! Drop the Big Cookie! Let's fry some flippers!
Been there done that. I wouldn't worry too much about the 10k it's fairly common. Rather it be correct than pushed and amended.
C'mon DD you know all da big deals gotta go down at Vinnie's. You jus throwin the competition off wit da chili's thing?
What.. that was my best Italiano script.
lol
That's why I don't sweat the narrow minded. All in time.
With no mention of a PR I was hoping to get another pop to catch a few shorts off.
They need fresh ammo running out of used old rebutted ammo trying to get it to go off.
FWIW, out of 15 different stocks of mine, 0 are green today. :/
They usually balance each other out Green / Red. The day is not over yet. :)
Did you have a shade in mind?
Shorts do the same for red so...?
