There's absolutely nothing wrong with a mod asking them check out this problem.
Hope everyone's doing well over here- y'all are a friendly bunch!
I'm currently loaded to the gills in BAA at .28, looking for 20% or so, around the mid-.30's.
Best of luck to all.
BAA- Absolutely loaded to the gills at .28, hope you're right!
Dew: This board is first rate, the best on iHub. I’ve seen you refer to a few others, the Momenta and Natural Resources boards for example.
Are there any other non stock-specific boards that IYO are worth following? TIA.
There's obviously some weird shit going on between all the long-term posters here. Too much for me, can't even get a normal question answered. Over & out.
ARIA- Anyone know why the crazy AH activity? Some sort of leak/rumor about news tomorrow?
Well, damn, if that's all it took then you just discovered the magic formula! Way to go.
As far as I know, just like a U.S. company, a Canadian company must first have a proxy vote asking shareholders for permission to implement a reverse split.
Has this been done? TIA.
Sounds like a good plan.
I certainly don't mean for this to sound judgemental or elitist, but many traders just can't afford to have things sit and percolate. They need the money now. In these times of high-frequency trading, that's especially hard: a computer using algorithms will beat you in the short run most of the time. The long run is where retail traders have their best shot.
A few years ago I had $500K worth of a small regional bank. I held it through thick and thin, through some very dark times, for 18 months. Most weeks I just didn't even bother to look at it! Finally got a double out of it, made my year.
I don't doubt what you're saying, I just don't know if I want to embark on a similarly long journey with BAA.
I have no doubt that there's plenty of interest in the .25-.28 range. As I said, however, those few pennies make a world of difference to me.
For a long term holder, it might be best to just put it on the back burner and let it percolate instead of obsessing over pennies.
I actually played this in early/mid June (I think), from the low .40's to the high .40's, so I did fine. I feel bad for anyone who bought then and is still holding.
HUSA- LOL, I'm just bitching, I try not to take any of this stuff personally, it's just business.
Things do run after people sell, it's happened to me often. One is always trying to determine if the current low price is the low price or a sign to cut losses. For this one I decided on the latter.
iHub forbids gambling, so we can't bet, but let's make a deal: you buy me a milkshake if it drops below .30, I'll buy you one if it doesn't.
HUSA- Still licking my wounds from yesterday. Not only does the actual cash loss hurt when I hold something this long, but the incalculable missed opportunity cost is doubly annoying. Oh well.
Think there's a very good chance that this sees the .20's, will look at it again then.
I tend to take fairly large positions. I thought that .28 was the bottom, but I should have waited a day. A penny in this is a lot of bucks to me!
Not selling yet, but .26 - .255 would be my absolute bottom, I'd take the loss and move on.
Best of luck.
No offense, my friend, but it doesn't work like that. Many, many retail and institutional sales at the bid--in fact, most--who are not short. Lots of other reasons.
Or not.
Just got in yesterday @ .28, added a few there this morning.
Yesterday and this morning: as soon as it gets to .28 or a bit lower, buying heats up. That looks like a pretty safe floor.
Best of luck to all.
FHCO- I've traded this before. What I like about it is the general sector, the fact that they've got almost no debt, and it's right around the year low. What I don't like is the low volume.
HUSA- Dumped it all. @#$%&*!
I did my share of inhaling in the past. I agree with the non-agressive thing, that fact becomes rather obvious after a while.
The one thing that still bothers me though is my gut-feeling that inhaling smoke can't be very good for your lungs. Here's a 2012 NYT article citing a study saying that it does not impair lung function, but again, just instinctively, I have trouble believing it.

What is a hideous disgrace and embarrassment is idiotic people like you and Faux News who are desperately trying to make it seem like this is the story.
This...is...not...the...story.
Yep, all he did was say that the facts are currently limited and his administration will be closely monitoring the situation.
A real man like Bush would have invaded the Ukraine, Turkey, Russia, Belarus, Poland, Bulgaria, Romania and Turkey by now.
Nice trade. And the "calling-it-a-day" part of your message is one of the keys to making a living at this!
LOL. OK, I'm just on the way to being totally disgusted, not quite there yet, so I'll hang on.
ps: your little what?
I have way, way too much $$$ in HUSA and I'm getting friggin' fed up. I rarely just give up and take a big loss, but I might with this one and then move on.
Since all this Tea Party crap started, I've had one answer.
One of them will start their garbage about my refusal to listen to who they really are. I'll say that I know exactly who you are, you're the old Ku Klux Klan.
In one poetry class lesson, I used to begin by asking how many people were immigrants or relatives of immigrants. A few hands would go up, including mine.
Whoa, I’d say, I don’t mean just this year or last, I mean in the history of your family. Many more hands were raised.
Gee, I’d say, we must have a lot of Native Americans in here. Almost all the hands were now raised.
Come to think of it, I’d say, even Native Americans came here over the Bering Land Bridge so even they are immigrants. All the hands were now raised.
We'd then read and discuss Emma Lazurus’s wonderful poem inscribed on the base of the Statue of Liberty. It is who we are, it is what our country is about.
The New Colossus
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
Oh my gosh, it's a woman, I just dropped by and didn't realize that. LOL, now that is unusual.
She can't have a real husband or partner, so her fantasy must involve hordes of immigrants coming over to abuse her blow-up doll.
He seems pathologically obsessed with sex slavery. Hmmmmm.
OT: Just finished Pulitzer Prize winner Sheri Fink’s book about New Orleans and Hurricane Katrina, Five Days at Memorial: Life and Death in a Storm-Ravaged Hospital.
While the specific story is head-shakingly amazing, the whole thing is really about end-of-life care and human behavior in crisis. A must-read.
