Over a $1M per day wasn't traded here few days ago for nothing..DD is solid
Number superstitions are all around us. I do subcontarcting for a large construction company that does microtunneling. Huge 90 inch pipes that have to be lowered into the pit by crane to be pushed by hydraulics one after the other behind the tunnel drill head. Being these operations are 24hrs until completed multiple shifts rotate and to keep track of the number of pipe sections being pushed in, they spray paint the top of the pipe as its lowered. Pipe 13 is always 12A.
Sorry. The excessive characters in the post are Chinese words that were not copied in the pasting here.
Did you know that if you press a Chinese elevator button to go to the 50th floor of a building, you may actually only be going to the 35th floor? This is because many buildings in China not only omit the 13th floor, but are also missing any floor containing the number 4, which is considered to be the unluckiest number in Chinese culture. The Chinese have many superstitions about numbers, often related to similar-sounding words in the Chinese language, which are called homophones.
In fact, the Chinese are so superstitious about numbers, that they will often spend big money for "lucky numbers" in their life. A man in Hangzhou listed his license plate, A8888, for $140,000 online. (Eight is a particularly auspicious number in Chinese culture.) Not only is that the case, but Chinese people will specifically avoid unlucky numbers during big holidays, such as Chinese New Year, or before a big exam like the SAT or Gaokao.
Here's a list of lucky and unlucky Chinese numbers!
2 (?, ÈR) - LUCKY
The Chinese believe that doubles bring blessings. Many decorations for celebrations come in pairs, and gifts are also given in even numbers. For Chinese New Year, banners are placed symmetrically on both sides of the door. For traditional Chinese weddings, decorations often include the word ? (shuang xi), which is a combination of two of the word ? (xi) , meaning “happiness”. Businesses will also repeat words in names and slogans, hoping to bring good luck.
3 (?, SAN) - LUCKY
? sounds similar to ?, which means “life” or “to give birth” in Chinese. Chinese culture puts emphasis on family and strong, healthy children, so ? has a positive connotation. In Buddhism, which is widely practiced in China, 3 is a significant number because it relates to the "three jewels", a foundational ideal.
4 (?, SÌ) - UNLUCKY
4 is well known to be an unlucky number because ? sounds similar to ? (si), which means "death" in Chinese. People will go to extremes based on superstitions of the number 4. In China, the presence of the number 4 is avoided in most public settings; in addition to elevator buttons, addresses, ID numbers, phone numbers, license plates, and product names will usually omit the number 4 for fear of being attached to bad luck. Houses and apartments that have 4 in the address number will sell for much less than ones without. Mentioning the number four to an ill family member is considered to be highly offensive, and giving anything with 4 on it to someone can be seen as a death threat.
5 (?, WU) - LUCKY/UNLUCKY
The number 5 is associated with both good luck and bad luck depending on context. Since ? sounds similar to ? (wú), which means “not” or “without” in Chinese, it can be viewed as bad luck. However, the number is also associated with positivity because many Chinese traditional philosophical concepts revolve around the number 5, such as the five elements ?? (wu xíng), which is used in traditional Chinese medicine, feng shui, martial arts, and even music.
6 (?, LIÙ) - LUCKY
The number 6 is generally considered to be lucky in China because ? sounds like ? (liú), which means "flow" in Chinese. Many businesses display the number 6 to bring good fortune. Unlike in western culture where 666 is associated with the devil, multiples of 6 is good in Chinese culture. A popular Chinese idiom, ???? (liù liù dà shùn), means that things will go smoothly.
7 ?, QI- LUCKY/UNLUCKY
Like 5, 7 has both positive and negative connotations in Chinese culture. For the positive side, ? sounds like both ? (qi), which means “start” or “rise”, and also ? (qì), which means “vital energy”. Seven is also seen as a lucky number for relationships. The Qixi Festival (???), also known as the Chinese Valentine's Day, falls on the 7th day of the 7th month in the lunar calendar. The 7th month is also known as the “ghost month” in China, where ghosts and spirits are believed to rise from hell to visit earth. While ghosts may be seen as omens, the ghost festival in the 7th month is widely celebrated. 7 may also be considered unlucky because ? sounds like ? , meaning “cheat”.
8 (?, BA) - LUCKY
8 is the luckiest number in Chinese culture because ? sounds like ? (fa), which means “wealth”, “fortune”, and “prosper” in Chinese. Multiples of eight are even better, as 88 bears a resemblance to ? (shuang xi), or “double happiness”. While the Chinese will go to great lengths to avoid 4 in daily life, they will try to incorporate 8 wherever they can. In the Beijing summer Olympics, the opening ceremony began at 8:08 pm on 8/8/08. Since the number 8 is believed to bring good luck, many airlines in Chinese-speaking countries will use combinations of 8 as flight numbers.
9 (?, JIU) - LUCKY
? sounds just like ? (jiu), which means “long lasting” and “eternity” in Chinese. At birthday and wedding celebrations, the number 9 is welcome as it represents longevity. 9 was also traditionally associated with the Chinese emperor. The emperor's robes had nine dragons on them, officials were organized in nine ranks, and the Forbidden City is known to have a total of 9,999 and a half rooms.
More exiting middle class soon..
Time to buy! This shake shouldn't scare you if you read the DD
Meaning they also have an invitation likely with incentives from their government to set up a facilty in the Bahamas.
Hung up over a mill at 93 and it got taken out with one chomp lol
Anyone notice the 911 right before they started stacking ask lower
Anything below a penny will get eaten up
I always have "good for the day" and is the same for me
Yes. For me always $4.95. I can place an order for 10M and it has to be filled in 15 partial fills and will still be $4.95. No conditions matter, its $4.95 in any case
Yes. Perhaps different rates for different trading quantities. Any amount is also great like you said, my Scottrade won't make a 10M buy, have to do 9,999,999 at a time. E*TRADE I can make a buy for 20/30 mill no problem.
It was $9 something little while back, but now every trade I make it's $4.95
$4.95
I've never had any problems trading any ticker with eTrade
They say a massive set of balls beats all, even with 7-2
Lol it's not happening, we were just talking about it bit to pass time but it's not happening. I can't round anyway :p
They walked it down and than stacked the ask pretty high, we would get through it and they put up almost the same big amount a tick lower lol on and on. I bet some were mad,made the effort of a few hundred thousand chomp to clear it only to see triple the amount come on ask a tick even lower
I'm not Mojo lol. I was just making convo out of a previous post. Keeping entertained. I know you have pocket aces btw
Exactly right, and then like xZx said. Some will make irrational decisions based on what they think others have. Getting out of your comfort zone is not a good idea if you don't have a really strong stomach.
I agree, like I said it pointless, it can give a rough idea but it's all assumptions and can cause a little chaos like you said.
Sweet!! You managed to chomp right through the finish line and kept going. Lmao
Well there ya go..you broke the ice. Does that really mean 1M? Lol. Jk
Nope. I was another board that every one disclosed and we had a rough idea of remaining float, but like you said, that's assuming everyone is being honest. So it's pointless, even if everyone IS honest, we just don't know that
We could get an approximate off the longs on this board alone and see what's left, although everyone would have to disclose there position and that would not be so easy.
Being DOLV will be providing this lifestyle, fitting to get an electric boat named...."My Oars Charge"
Mastermind was also a LOI, and was completed and we now have their revenue. Sometimes deals work out and sometimes they just can't seal the deal for whatever reason. I do think their intent is to make further acquisitions, they aren't just saying it for fluff, or lMastermind would have never happened.
Next time someone emails him, include a PS "Please sign off email Richard Oravec for "yes" or Richard O. For "no" thank you :)
People probably said the same thing when they saw George foreman was going to be used as the face for a grill. Many pockets were filled with that. You never know. They already have one acquisition, should be working on more. They still have harrington. I do believe things are happening, they are just not being very informative to us shareholders and time has a demoralizing effect on people. Honestly, I'd rather no news than fluff. It will come
I'm happy with today's trading. I can live with this everyday until we get what's coming.
Too bad OTC site doesn't have a chat, we could all head over there now lol show's over here folks.
In NJ the stop signs are in our garage hanging next to the tool box along with any funny named street signs
Although few ticks up or down don't mean squat in our situation, a green close would be sweet to see
Always the informative one xZx lol
Thanks! Also Great to know we have eyes in China on here with us, welcome! We are in for a good time here.
I totally agree Navin, just figured I'd comment being I saw a few posts on it. I'm. It worried about it one bit.
I'm not Oravecs assistant, idk lol. I'm heavily inclined to say today but I don't want to build hopes without knowing for sure.
I believe they would rather have the stop sign up temporarily than release filing to stay current and in doing so divulging info. I would think china is enjoying the holiday and not trading and it would be pretty disrespectful if he gave us a day of headstart on trading the new information.
