well the banks look good. I'll agree to that. I don't know about some of the bonds.. But I don't care. .. as long as there is a short squeeze.
well, technically I sold enough shares to almost break even (-$100).. If I sold all but 600 shares now, I'd be up about $1000. But I'm going to wait after the price reset or if it gets up rediculously high... ;) So this stock pps will have to crash into the pennies in order for me to lose money..
yep... sort of like a snowball, as long as it goes up, it will probably go up because of more margin calls and because of more investors coming in. But if it loses momentum....
hitting myself in the forehead for selling most of my shares at 1.40... oh well, that was my plan anyway. Take profits wherever you get them.. I'll see where the rest of my puny shares go to..
probably the only way you are going to get 10-15 dollars is by short covering after the price reset. Otherwise we have to hope billions of dollars of new investment money is coming in. A more likely target is 2-3 dollars if you are simply relying on new investment money (but remember those ribotsky bonds - not sure if this is a good long term investment).
Maybe. It also could be that Rufus is simply being too generous... or it could be just a confidence game to lure investors... I personally don't think Rufus is a scammer, but then again, some of those bonds do look funky...
wow, for a moment there I thought you were perfect... oh well. If you see another PAIV, then let me know...
Doubt it.. it was 1995 legislation that helped cause the dot com buttle in the first place.
The probable reason that SEC isn't doing anything about naked shorting is because it would be a financial disaster for brokers and hedge funds if they had to cover all the stocks that they had naked shorted. Basically you'd see a lot of big name companies out of business because they would be forced to cover for money that was already spent (can you say ENRON all over again).
I agree, most of the bashers posts have been either lies or what ifs. Except for Serf's posts (and he has brought up some things concerning the bonds that are a little worrysome for the long term investor). That's not say that the pumpers posts are all clean either. Many of them are what ifs as well.
I just decided to stop reading most of what is on this board because of all the bs that is on here. Only occasionally reading to see if there are any facts.
Hmmm , only thing I'm convinced is that there are a lot of liars out there and MM's are manipulating this stock. However, I don't know if things are goin to pan out for who. I'm sure both sides have tricks up their sleaves, and it'll be interesting to see what happens (if anything).
what if they begin naked shorting the stock after the reset?
It may be true that there might be margin calls assuming the PPS can stay up for a while (and that is a big IF)..
It'll be interesting to see if brokers follows the rules though...
I mean they weren't supposed to be allowing naked shorting to this degree in the first place...
Who's to say they will follow the rules this time?
when there is a sell, there is always a buy... someone has to sell something in order for someone to buy it... I don't know why people keep on saying these transactions are just sells or just buys... they are both sell/buy.
man, reading this bb is like a soap opera.. it's not even funny. Almost like looking at the Israeli/Palestinian conflict.
maybe a short or FTD cover?
I got booted too.. the only thing I heard about CSHD was about bolinger averages or something like that.. he thought that it might go down to test .87, and IF it goes below that, then the next limit is arond .81 (which could be a good thing IF it goes about .81)....
But I got bounced off shortly thereafter. Anyway, he seemed like he was a chartists... Things will be choppy probably this next week teusday or wednesday, when the supposed 8k might come out..
well think about it, it doesn't make sense to make a public statement.
If they are shorting, then they will admit to doing something illegal or attract the attention of the SEC.
If they are not shorting, it still doesn't make sense to respond because it could hurt their stock price if people read it (even if it is true/false).
Again, how is Rufus going to do a squeeze? dividends? forcing certs? Reverse split? lawsuit? call the SEC and see if they care?
How is Rufus going to force a cover of the FTD's though? I still don't understand that.
I'm becoming cynical of just about everything posted on here. seems like half the stuff here is either hype or lies or fear based speculation.
It might have worked during the first 1-2 months.. but it's going to take a lot more than this to convince me that something is wrong.
not too surprising.. I don't see how Rufus is going to stop the shorting unless he files a lawsuit, somehow gets everyone to get their certs (not likely), or issue a dividend. But a dividend is a pretty expensive option, as well as a lawsuit... I'm guessing he's trying to do things cheaply.
well, I'm not buying then.. ;)
have you bought any of these? or are planning to?
Interesting.. but how is cshd going to force TD ameritrade to cover those FTD's? lawsuit? Are they going force certs for every share that could be potentially bogus?
I don't think that the 144's are an expectation on part of the seller of the amount they think they will sell, you just take the price of the stock that day, multiply by the number of shares they plan to sell, and then you get the estimated value... On Sept 7th, the pps of the stock was at .84 (or around there). So the math checks out.
actually when I do the math, I get .84 not 1.20..
I don't see Rufus Harris' name on any of these 144's.. That's not to say that he couldn't make money in other ways of course (other than a 144)...
maybe sellers are selling large chunks and buyers are buying small chunks?
naked shorting?
or is there some other reason?
call it the curse of WhisperNumber...
yeah, that stock is not a good example anyway. It looks like it only traded millions of dollars to keep the PPS up... this stock needs billions if we want to sustain a high PPS assuming everyone sells at the reset.
Is it the ask that are the buyers or the people at the bid?
I thought it was the bidders that were the potential buyers..
well, if the 10k does require that all shares of cvsu be accounted for, then it implies that FTD's will have to be covered in some way (however, we don't know how many of these they are - could be very few, or serveral).
probably next week... imo..
sounds like a way to make a killing on this stock is to short it once the price resets... you can cover after it plummets in value...
Maybe that's why brokers like Schwab are trying to buy up shares.. it's because they will have to have shares on hand for the shorters to borrow when the price is reset (they may not have enough to borrow from margin accounts)..
(not saying that anyone should do this of course... because Rufus may come up with a nasty surprise)..
why would it be tommorow? tommorow is just the 8k not the 10k...
careful, last time he got quiet, he apparently was busy typing up the fake C&D and that web site... maybe he is up to something else...
well, what do you know.. FHAL saw 1.00 again...
Riiight... Dr Mensah is going to give up on 60 million dollars of investment money.
That makes a lot of sense..
for it to be a 50-100 bagger, 5 to 10 billion dollars of new money is going to have to come into this stock (assuming everybody sells of course). But even if everyone doesn't sell at once, we're still talking about billions of dollars having to come in.
I don't see a 50-100 bagger. Maybe a 2-5 bagger (and I do mean maybe)... looking at a few hundred million dollars coming is, is a bit more reasonable (assuming the 10k is okay)..
Otherwise hedge funds would go bankrupt if this were the case.
I didn't see a huge float position when Serf posted it last time.. something like over 2 million or something. There maybe a lot of FTDs out there, but unless a lot of people call in certs from margin accounts, I don't see it squeezing...
