NEWL- They also had a 1-for-10 RS on 3/6/14, a 1-for-3 RS on 11/20/13, and a 1-for-15 RS on 10/1/13!
There is no NASDAQ or NYSE rule about the number of reverse splits allowed, but there should be. IMHO this is fraud.
LOL. Happy as a lark, crazy as a loon.
You win some and you lose some, hang in there.
Friday afternoon I was this close to buying CRMB at .72 looking for a quick 10% scalp. Whew!
OT: Over the years it's been interesting to see how many folks stop posting their personal specific trades at specific prices, and switch to a more general discussion of stocks on their watch lists.
It's great to have public victories, but the downside is public defeats.
World Cup semifinals, good game from both sides, both deserved to win.
I think it's going to be Germany over Argentina in the finals, rather easily, 2-0.
As a recent study points out, it's more about exercise than food:

From the article:
I can't see that. Argentina has a far better team than Costa Rica and the Netherlands just squeaked by them.
IMHO it's Germany vs. Argentina in a "pick-em" final, I'll go with Germany.
LOL. People are going to be saying that.
I love the guy, he put U.S. soccer on the map and still a superior player, but he alone would not have cured our weaknesses.
Nice game from Belgium. They've got big, physical players with speed and skills, and they play beautifully as a team.
I'm proud of the U.S., a very competitive showing.
IMHO, two things we need: first, more agression/possessions/attacks. Klinsmann will see to that eventually. Second--and this is more difficult--we've got to get some of our bigger, stronger youth athletes away from other sports, especially football, and into soccer. The lack of U.S. size was very noticeable.
I'm going with Germany winning 2-1, with them taking their foot off the gas at that point. This allows them the pride of victory, but doesn't prevent the U.S. from advancing depending on Ghana/Portugal.
LOL. I suffered no damage unless being infected with a lifelong cynicism can be claimed as a war injury. I'll check with the VA.
Relativism is relative: IMHO, there are many absolutes, but that's a discussion best held accompanied by large quantities of alcohol.
I apologize for wasting the board's time in the middle of the trading day, and this is my last comment: just try and think a bit before posting that little tag line.
I agree, but I believe we'd run into Argentina next and that might be it.
Yes, that's why I said both teams will take the tie.
Germany doesn't want to lose, players at this level have a lot of personal and national pride. But neither team wants to get anyone hurt.
They'll play reasonably hard, but carefully and deliberately, then switch to cruise.
Very, very difficult for FIFA to tell if professional players are just fooling around with the ball or seriously setting up plays. These guys are good at it!
From a Wiki article on match fixing:
Neither team has any love for Portugal or Ghana, but they have many, many close ties and relationships with each other.
I think you're going to see a reasonably competitive game for the first half (very cautious and conservative) and 10 or 15 minutes of the second. If it's tied at that point, both teams will noticeably ease up and happily advance.
As I said a couple of weeks ago ( #msg-103224036 ) I don't really worry about the general market, there are always individual stocks that are both fundamentally and technically good buys.
To butt in (excuse me): the main difference between knee-jerk averaging down and waiting to buy when the stock bottoms is exactly as you indicated.
Whatever fundamentals/news/reports/etc. that caused the drop have now had time to do the damage they're going to do. The stock settles, it begins to move up. Now average down.
Jordan is currently massing forces on the Iraq border. This relates to something that has long bothered me.
Ultra-radical Islamic fundamentalism threatens all other forms of government: democracies, republics, even monarchies. Jordan,Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emigrates, Oman, Quwait, Bahrain, Qatar, etc. are all very far from free societies, but the leaders and their lifestyles are all threatened by extreme groups like ISIS in Iraq.
The thing is that it is their immediate problem in their backyard, not ours. We can no longer be the policemen of the world. Why are we even discussing re-invading?
All the countries I mentioned have plenty of money, with large and modern armies and air forces. These forces are virtually next door, not half-a-world away. They could and should handle the problem, not us.
I've never worried too much about the general market, other than in very extreme times (e.g. 9/11). There's always something that individually looks like a solid company at a good place on the chart.
IHub, like all message boards, is full of a million Babe Ruth wannabe's. Singles are the way to go.
My goal is $10K per month so I'm set for June. Off to Florida for a week, best of luck.
JIVE- Out 10K shares @ $8.30 from June 4 purchase @ $7.27.
No posts on any message boards as far as I could tell, I simply found it on the 52-week low list.
“If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, looks like a duck, it must be a duck”. -Old Proverb
Small, cautious buys. Super-tight stops. Take profits quickly.
Play moneyball: singles and walks are fine, just get on base.
No, not playing that one. I tend to keep very few things on my stove top, then just let them percolate.
I also much prefer to find little deals on my own, like JIVE. I noticed it on yesterday's "52-Week Low List" and thought it looked interesting.
Not to say that I haven't successfully played many, many stocks that are mentioned on message boards--yours included--and I will in the future. The problem is that often you're trying to get in the door with the crowd and then out the door with the crowd, and it can be tough.
Hoping for a quick little 10% with JIVE, but will dump it in a heartbeat if necessary.
dc- I see that you very politely asked Biomaven (a genuine biotech expert) on the Biotech Values board what the real scoop is with an NDC. Good for you.
He completely, plainly, and honestly answered. I'm a bit surprised that you haven't linked that answer here.
Best of luck.
JIVE- Up to $7.50-ish from yesterday's purchase @ $7.27, looking for 10% or around $8 in the next week or so.
From Glenn Greenwald's superlative 2012 Salon article about the meaning of the word:
JIVE- Every once in a while I buy something just because it's at or near a 52-week low, and it has decent volume. Starting a position at $7.27, looking for 10% eventually.
L.- Just read your post, interesting and valid POV, I disagree.
The vast majority of iHub stock-specific boards are merely cheerleading clubs, complaint clubs, or--as you point out--grief counseling group sessions. Very little real info.
Unfortunately this board has a bit of a history with some posters who are not so much interested in discussing MNTA as in dissing one poster. Very silly, distracting, useless.
Those one or two posters aside, someone who provides an accurate and fact-based bear thesis in a calm and logical manner is invaluable, whether they own the stock or not. On 99% of stock-specific boards those posts are immediately deleted.
