I forgot to mention that year 2017 was a Jubilee Year when our embassy was moved (every 50th year) major milestones for Israel both physically and spiritually have taken place. History:
1867 - archeologist discovered old City of David in Jerusalem (setting off wave of tourism & interest of Holy Land) & first European Messianic Jewish convention took place in Prague! Also many early Jewish communities started to immigrant to Holy Land because God told their Rabbis to MOVE!
1917 - Balfour Declaration declaring desire for Jewish homeland in land captured by Ottoman Turks. Major waves of return of Jews & building of nation took place! First American Messianic Jewish convention takes place in Philadelphia!
1967 - 6 Day War with Jerusalem being re-united for first time since AD 70. Jesus movement breaks out in America for next 7 years and MANY get saved both Jew and Gentile!
2017 - Our Prez moves embassy to Jerusalem fulfilling Luke 21:24 acknowledging Jewish ownership and Israeli sovereignty.
It gets even BETTER! So now we are in the current day Moses/Joshua generation! Great Revival coming Rom 11&12 - 2020 marks 400th anniversary of our nation 1620 with Pilgrims landing. What happened after 400 years to the Israelites after being refined & tested to form a nation out of them useful for God's purpose? Thats right, they entered into the PROMISE LAND to live in God's grace & revival, peace and bounty! Are you getting excited yet? America and Israel are BOTH nations born in COVENANT with God! Its not a coincidence we are UNITED and USA is spelled in the middle of the name "JerUSAlem"!
Blessings Friends of Zion.
Why is now the time to favor Zion and ZN? Luke 21:24b is key. Our great Prez moved the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem in Dec 2017 thus fulfilling this passage in our very age. Our Prez, as the leader of the free world and many nations after him, acknowledged that the city is SOVEREIGN belonging to the nation of Israel (ie their rightful Capital and not an "international city" as the pope and UN would like it to be)! You see the Holy City of Jerusalem is in covenant with God and the nation of Israel. God mysteriously works with man to achieve His goals. For 2000 years the Gentiles have had control over Jerusalem and this has now ended with the nations taking their hands off her! Why is it important? We are living in the soon coming "world-fulfillment" times mentioned in Rom 11&12. Additionally, with the recent Abraham accords, Israel is now establishing peace with her Arab neighbors. This is very important because when ZN find major oil wealth, they will not be able to contest the ownership of the oil now that they have agreed to peace in legal contract. The time to favor Zion is upon us!
Side note: our wonderful Prez is going to be re-elected in January for his second term. Bookmark this post as the prophets have spoken with powerful confirmation. Prepare to be amazed for the blessings are coming to the world thru America and Israel like never before seen! Hebrews 11:33!!!
Boom pps hit 1.12 and may go lower. MMs were shorting at the top for a while over 1.20 - we could see $1.05 eod.
Tothe you have 3 day settlement? Good grief get a margin account.
I hope you are right and I'm wrong. Short volume and short borrow interest are both climbing... I'm not a buyer under $1.10 no way and will flip over $1.25 today.
Remember we still have several weeks to go before we spud (should be a nice press report then and will need to have room to pop)
I don't care about candles. Question is will the MMs let ZN market cap exceed 270 million with no proven oil yet? I think 300 million market cap is about the top before we get to actively drilling. Keep you eye on the short volume (going up again) and on the short borrow interest rate (slowly climbing back up too & currently at 19%).
ZN short volume update. Note that ZN continues to hold strong but short interest is increasing a little. Likely range bound. I'm looking to flip over 1.25 and buy back under $1.10 - but who knows right? With good press report picked up and covered by news outlets we could see $1.50 to $1.70 again (but will likely dip back down afterwards). ZN is all about the news. Blessings friends of ZN. Current short borrow interest rate is 18.75%.

The changes in the plan seem to only relate to those taking part in ZN dspp who choose not to transfer their shares into their own brokerage account for FREE, but rather choose to sell their directly out of the PLAN. Even with the reduction in fees, its still crazy for ZN dspp to sell from within the plan - its so easy to open a brokerage account...
I think you right on. Perfectly timed run-up to short and then the drop. I would think PPS will go up over $1.00 again soon after most of the pent-up plan selling is over.
Great info Tisdale and likely explains today's action. You da man!
John Brown is not being deceitful. However, ZN may have been delayed while in port & with shipping to destination. Seems we may be a few weeks behind schedule - no worries tho as it will arrive and be on His time and in time for His story.
Tothe where have you been? I figured you would have been much more helpful with your chart knowledge to give us a heads up on when to buy on the major dips with ZNOG was under 15 cents 90 days ago (would have been a 10x bagger yesterday) and very helpful to the board. Now you show back up?
I'm selling over $1.30 today and will buy back later. Short interest rate has jumped up and MMs will push it down again to $1.00 to cover. No way the MMs are going to let ZN trade long over 250 million market cap.
Hey bear WOWSERS that retail and "few" funds really now how to push the price around and look at that volume of 16 million too!
Interesting setup this morning with possibility of ZN seeing another dip. Available shares to short ZN are down (so not all covered) and short borrow interest rate is up. However, ZN mm control boyz like to do crazy lol. My take for a trading flip is sell over $1.25 and buy anything up under $1.10 (definitely under $1.00 is a big buy here). Nothing wrong with trading a portion ever as stock go up and down and we just came off a 17 day UP trading pattern. Good investing faithful.

ZN market cap is important to keep in mind friends. Its not likely the MM's will allow ZN's market cap to top over 300 million unless we are drilling deep and/or get great seismic reports of oil first (being valued presently at 220 million is a super gift this early on but still looking strong and news will only continue to push pps upwards). ZN at 300 million would put a price of ZN at $1.36 w/220 million shares outstanding. Once we get to drilling we should hit $1.50-$2.00 imo. Just my 2 thoughts if anyone cares and has the next 3 months to hold onto their shares. Blessings to you ZN faithful. I pray God's timing & favor for ZN is upon us. The signs and times are looking favorable.
Friends don't worry about the dip this morning (and great for you if you sold over 1 dolla and purchased back in the 80s!). ZN is still in a very strong upward mojo trajectory - just a little profit taking and retest. When you see volume confirmation in the 10s of million at the top, that is when you know for sure its likely a short. Not this time friends, just good action & consolidation. We will be over $1.00 again very soon with good news pending and drilling by end of December.
ZN market cap at 220 million! Wow just wow and we are not even drilling...
The Chicago stock option exchange board decided 3 months ago that once ZN went to OTC market, they were not going to allow "NEW" selling of options/either naked or new covered calls. They are only allowing current option holders the ability to buy to close of existing long positions or sold covered calls. Basically we are in a one-sided crappy option market...
If you purchased calls I would hold them as they are like GOLDEN as once you sell to close, you are out of the option game :)
Wowsers are we a biotech lol bear or just following RIG :)
ZN friends please make sure to celebrate & give thanks extra special this Thanksgiving as it's our 400th anniversary of the Pilgrims arrival in 1620 and also true birth of our nation!!! Why aren't we seeing this celebrated in the news? Now it makes sense why the devil would want to stamp out celebrating this super special Thanksgiving with the covid scare... Also in Scripture 400 years has special significance: God's promise to Abraham was 400 years and the time between the old and New testament was 400 years of waiting. So what does that mean to us after 400 years I ask? It means we are living in the times of the Moses/Joshua generation and also Elijah/John the Baptist! Prepare yourselves, our church and families to enter into God's promised land and fulfillment both spiritually and physically! What a great time to be alive! Hallelujah ??
How high are we going Bear? 1 dolla by tomorrow and $1.25 by Friday?
did we break it just slightly or simply match it?
Our Prez a ZN investor?! Anyone else yesterday afternoon notice the official ZN twitter post of liking "RealDonaldTrump" support of ZN? Has been deleted now but here was the post from yesterday:
https://twitter.com/zionoil/status/1331046121255424000?s=19
Nice day. We break 90 cents today or tomorrow for sure. Bear did you add to your RETAIL position lol?
bear omgoodness RETAIL is pulling us up just like you said. Way to go Mom & Pop they see it too, ZN new year high of 1.00 dolla+ on deck... today???
If she came this far, the big boy MMs aren't going to settle - they want a new year high. Looking for 90 cents to 1 dolla!
Short volume continues to hold (no big increases) so UP we go bear!

.777 on the ticker bear - retail investors are on a tear lol
No matter, MMs want us over $1.00 when we spud, I'm thinking 1.50 by the time we get to 5k feet (that will put us over 350 million market cap!)

Look at yesterday's volume/price chart and tell me that MMs didn't short a pile at 74 cents yesterday. Spare us all your technical definition of MMs as its common vernacular and universally accepted - you can call them ruling class funds or whatever but I call them market makers by definition. Good read for you:
COMMENT ON RULE S7-24-99
The rules, which allow Market Makers (MMs) to naked short stocks, should absolutely be changed. The behavior, which results from this activity, under any other circumstance would be criminal. The MMs, represented by their law firms, use the argument that it is necessary in order to maintain liquidity and to make a market, but in actuality this argument is nothing more than a smokescreen, which enables them to continue behavior, which caters to their own greed and profit motives. At a bare minimum the current rules allow activity which is a conflict of interest. It is like having the fox watch the hen house, and their actual past behavior clearly indicates that they cannot be trusted and are not capable of self-regulation.
There may be some value in the basic concept of shorting, but in current practice it has gotten out of hand, and the practice of naked shorting, on the OTCBB, should never be allowed, under any circumstance, by anyone allowed to trade on U.S. exchanges. The reason is simple; when someone goes long on a stock, the maximum loss is limited and there is a floor, since the stock can only go to zero value. When someone goes short, the losses are unlimited, as there is no ceiling. Under this circumstance the pressure is increased to do whatever is necessary to protect ones position. And that is exactly what happens to induce activity, which should be considered illegal market manipulation. Even the MMs can make mistakes and the practice of naked shorting allows someone to get into a situation, which they cannot get out of under normal means. The problem is exacerbated by the MMs being in a situation, where they can do this without any accountability, or required disclosure of their position. They are then empowered to actually set the price of a stock and control its movement. This is clearly a conflict of interest, which should not be allowed. How can anyone, even for a second, think that this makes sense? History has proven that money and greed are one of the most powerful motivators. People from all walks of life, have committed major crimes and behaved in ways that are completely unethical and immoral for far less money than is available to the MM industry through their ability to short and manipulate the stock market.
I have witnessed the effect of this type of potentially illegal manipulation on the price and movement of a stock, in my case INVT (Investamerica/Optica Communications) and have read numerous examples of others. I never would have believed that this type of activity could happen if I would not have seen it first hand. MM manipulation can be absolutely devastating to a company and it's stock. As a result, most of the risk on the OTCBB is not with the companies, but rather with the MM trading patterns. An investor can evaluate the risk of investing in a start-up company, but there is no way to evaluate the risk of MM manipulation. The MMs are in such an uncontested position of unregulated control that they feel invincible. With no checks and balances on their behavior, they have gotten out of hand. I have watched the MMs sit on, and even lower a stock price, over and over again, and for extended periods, in the face of significant buying, yet lower the price on very little selling. I have seen numerous trades executed for thousands and tens of thousands of shares with little or no upward price movement, followed by a lowering of the price on sells of a few hundred shares. You can watch intraday trading and tell when they are going to start lowering the price by watching them trade between the spread and then start walking the price down. You can see them trading between themselves to give the appearance of selling in order to lower the price, or selling to investors at the bid in order to paint the tape lower. They will raise the ask only to fill an order, or fill a partial order move the ask higher to fill the rest of the order, and then drop the price right back down, the net result being no gain from the buying. When watching the trading activity day to day the MMs seem to have constant downward pressure on this stock, even in the face of strong buying, or news from the company. Lack of buying, even without selling, causes the price to drop, and when there is no news the behavior is even worse. These tactics are all designed to play on the emotions of a less experienced investing public, and these are just a few of the tactics that are used by MMs to manipulate a stock price to their benefit.
This activity makes no sense, unless it is done in order to protect an excessive short position, or move the price to the benefit of the MMs alone. This often results in the MMs being at odds and in an opposing position to the company and the investing public. This should not be the case; the MMs should make their money on the trading activity and the spread. They should never be allowed to get into a position where their own position and greed takes precedence over the company, the investing public and the normal movements of a free market. In the current environment, they obviously cannot be trusted. Anyone who thinks that these things do not happen either has not looked closely enough, or has blinders on. It is virtually impossible that all of the people who are crying foul are wrong. The question is not whether, it happens. The question is whether anything will be done about it. If not, then all of the talk of protecting investors, fairness for investors, accurate warnings in disclaimers, and the expectation of a fairly executed and regulated market mean absolutely nothing. It is easy to see all of this as just movement of numbers and dollars, and forget that it all involves real people and families, who work hard for their money and are trying to find a way to make their money work for them. All investors should have a reasonable expectation of a fair market, instead they are being robbed by an unregulated environment that should not exist. Now what is going to be done about it?
ZN price action is surprisingly super strong (w/current market cap valued at 150 million!) New pps floor is 65 cents (quickly tested this morning with solid bounce back up to 70 cents). ZN will likely be range bound at 70-75 cents until we get more PR news w/picture updates. Here is the latest short volume update:

WOWSERS seriously bear retail on 3 million volume yesterday YAY! c'mon man
as if retail bid it up to 60 right bear? c'mon man lol
200 Million dollar question. Will the MMs let ZN's price continue to rise possibly over $1.00 w/resulting market cap at 250 Million??? We are currently over 132 million market cap.
I'm impressed with this climb to 60 cents so fast. Keep in mind with price at 60 cents, ZNOG w/220+ million outstanding shares has a market cap over 132 million and the MMs are mindful of this. With the recent rig arrival in Israel, ZN likely to be held back in a holding pattern until we start to get picture updates of crew+assembly. I think ZN will honor shabbat & Jewish holidays too. Going to be interesting how the pps reacts during the waiting period.
Did anyone bother to call ZN's office and ask about the rig & ship? lol I didn't either :)
Breaking $1 will be an interesting orchestrated battle and then right afterwards pps will jump to $1.50-$2.00. All for show lol. I'm not selling at $1. This is ZN's time
Nice consolidation & strong support. Is it a coincidence that Zion will finally be drilling & discovering the blessings of the deep but only "after" the recent signing of peace treaties with her Arab neighbors? Do you see God's timing and why this is important? I'm waiting for Saudi Arabia to "officially" sign the Abraham Accords here soon. As the leader of "moderate" Arab states, Saudi Arabia already gave their blessing to others that did sign & its just a short matter of time before they will do so too. The irony is that Saudi Arabia has already made peace with Israel and work together militarily. Many exciting converging prophecies are coming to pass. We are beginning to witness the Fullness of Time and the Fullness of the Israel alongside the Fullness of the Gentiles. Luke 21:24b, Romans 10&11. Zion Oil & Gas will prayerfully have an amazing role to play!
