Yeah.. sorry about that... I was just looking at a new "app" on my blackberry from bloomberg.... and this popped up as IF it were current, but.. you're quite correct it was from LAST AUGUST.... had me going there... wondering what the heck was going on..
I'll be a little more observant of such minor details (like WHEN) in the future... egads.
Doh... didn't see the LAST August thingie... wonder why Bloomberg has this in such a prominent place as if it were current....
18 Consecutive days????
Correct me if I'm wrong... but it looks like for the past 18 consecutive trading days.... more shares were sold than delivered within 5 trading days....
Isn't that basically what naked shorting is?
18 Consecutive days on this list....
Aug. 19 (Bloomberg) -- The following is a list of ``threshold securities'' from the Nasdaq Stock Market, published daily in compliance with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's Regulation SHO.
The list consists of stocks for which sellers failed to deliver 10,000 shares or more in the past five trading days and the level of ``fails'' is a minimum of 0.5 percent of the shares outstanding. Securities are listed alphabetically by ticker.
Can someone explain what this means... exactly?

and... talk about some sleepy trading. 2k shares at the ask.. then NADA... and I do NOT mean North American Dealer Association!
If you'd like to be "in charge"... and can actually make the SP go UP... my vote is for you! Briguy hasn't exactly impressed me in a positive way with his wearing the "boss hat" yet so far... perhaps he has a stellar close tucked away somewhere.... I hope.
OK, guys.... I have to go and do some actual WORK, so WHO is going to be "in charge" here while I go slack off? (not that I EVER was in charge)... I simply want to know who is going to be minding the store... and will make every effort to make me rich by making the SP go waaaaay up.
Yes, I did. Was just going to cancel the order and sit for a while... and poof. That's how it goes with me. In fact... If anyone here is willing to pay me enough... I'll sell ALL my shares and I guarantee you.. that as Soon as I did sell.. this thing would take off like nothing you've ever seen before!
I'm wondering why my order hasn't been filled at .15 Anybody else want to add a few shares right now with the same order and it might just move up a tad. I really don't care if I get my 25k more shares... I'm pretty well loaded up right now... I know there is someone out there with an elcamino (which I presume is to be used for purposes other than loading with stock)..... but I think I need a larger vehicle for all the shares I've accumulated.
That open at .20 did get me all giddy... Can we please go back to that number again real soon????
I've had a buy in for 25k shares at .15 for about 15 minutes now... nada.
Actually... in semi-veiled terms he DID say that we SHOULD expect a NR this week. Since he couldn't come out and say, Yes there will be one... he clearly indicated that he WILL continue to do what he has done in the past... and since there was no nr last week... duh.
I'm on the same train as you! I loaded up some more this morning, in fact.... since I too believe that this is going to MOVE a lot this month and beyond. I bought 50K earlier this morning then put in another 50k order at .145.... most of which was filled too, then we stepped up to .15 and I doubt I'll get the rest of that order filled.
It has been suggested to me in a private message that Scott had his salary lowered to $24K. If this is true, for whatever reason, it would lend more credibility to him just wanting some cash to buy a larger ticket item.... Go figure. STILL not the best move in the world regardless of his situation.
And what is the magic number for you... when you can retire on this? Personally, I think I'll be working forever. I have a 4 yr old daughter.... (as well as 3 sons... 29, 25,19). Let me just say that "birth control" is not a sure thing!
Oh... and as much as I'd like it.. I doubt you'll see your magic number THIS week.
I talked with Tim last Friday and asked him about that whole thing... he sounded very appologetic and used the same language that others have used... in that the shares Scott is selling are privately owned.... and that nobody seems to have any idea why he is selling. It was offered as an idea that perhaps he was buying something.. car, boat, house... and simply needed the money, and that with all the shares he does own.... it was merely a drop in the bucket.
I also got the idea that everyone else there was also wondering about why he'd do such a thing, and I BET that probably ALL of them have already spoken to him about this, but that's just the feeling I got. I could tell that it was unexpected for him to do so, and it is also a huge embarassment for everyone there.
So... for those with lvl 2.... what's up with today's trades.. I see over 600k traded and the bid is now .142? Are there a lot of buys at .15 or... how are we holding there?
Does someone have to spank Scott? just kidding.. I have NO idea about who/why anyone would sell that kind of block.
well.. one of those 50k share trades is mine... and it was a buy at .151, not a sell.
Got all 50k at .151... even though order was for .16 limit. So... now that that's done... please feel free to push the buying up a notch! I wouldn't mind seeing this bounce back up to .24 that we saw the other day!
What a difference a week makes. MUCH lower volume first thing in the morning... a LOT of anticipation, but very little movement. I suspect that I won't get much filled at .16, if any. Anybody on lvl 2 know which market makers eturd uses....? and if so... what are those mms doing? Just had a look at trades... 200k sold to roughly 100k bought this am. Wonder what's up with that. Think Scott is at it again? Just can't wait to buy a new boat or something?
AND... where did all the prolific posters go as well???
placed an order for 50k at .16 No movement!
I heard the interview you are talking about... and Scott clearly is a geek-boy extraordinaire... Knows his stuff about software... BUT that alone is NOT enough to run a company. Software knowledge rarely translates into people skills.... marketing skills.. etc. NO.. he NEEDS this team as much as they need him. After all the hard work and time Scott has spent with this company... (not to mention all the shares he owns) it is HIGHLY unlikely for him to be going anywhere... if and until he could cash in.... as all of us could... for well north of $1 a share.
So... please relax on this issue... I think you're just overthinking it.... have a good weekend... and we'll all see what next week brings us.
OK.... you DID Call it AGAIN. What's your outlook for next week????
So, Pete.. how many companies have you started from the ground up? Sounds like you have a lot of opinions as to how things must be done... but I suspect that you don't actually have the experience to back up your treatise on how to run a startup company.
On another note... I called Tim at Exobox and had a nice chat. One thing that I learned is that it isn't out of the question for the product to be released before the mixer.... not that it WILL be... but it COULD be. It all comes down to when the developers feel that it has passed the rigors of beta testing and fixes... If I understand correctly, though.. it WILL at the LATEST be released by the mixer. So..... things COULD heat up somewhat faster than I expected.
So... selling 2 million shares when you own in the neighborhood of 75 million.... is NOT a big deal. I have got to think that he is kicking himself for selling a day or two early, however!
From my perspective.... you might want to consider that management might have different objectives from yours. I don't think they are motivated entirely by a quick movement of the SP in a continued rally. I think they are much more concerned with the long term and would prefer to let the SP work itself out in the market, instead of expending energies making sure that the shareholders see a steady and sustained rally.... I mean IF the product is what they say it is... it WILL go up a LOT in the not too distant future. So... why worry about a dip after a couple of monumental trading days?
Looks more like a little MM shakeout to me. I think many mms sold shares that they couldn't buy at a price that they could make any money on.... .so now they're putting the fear into the shareholders that will sell..... to cover.
Just my humble opinion.
In most development stage companies... employees... owners/officers are not paid very much and often have to sell some of the stock they have received as compensation. In this case, it looks like they got all excited when it hit .10 and didn't know what was coming in the following couple of days! OOOPS.
So.. what does your son the clairevoyant see for the eod pps tomorrow???
Personally, I think that it's QUITE likely that some big player... Microsoft or one of the Symantec/Norton/Mcaffee companies will at least make a pass at exobox... make an offer, or see if there's any interest in being bought... does anyone else see this as a liklihood?
I agree about the need for some kind of news to sustain this exceptional rally. This company, (unlike MANY others that I have invested in) apparently doesn't release news unless there REALLY is some news... and I completely appreciate that. The volume has been so incredibly HUGE, that I have to believe that there is something HUGE coming up. WHERE did all these buyers come from? They MUST have more than a sneaking suspicion that this thing is going somewhere. I am thrilled NOT to see a bunch of hype from the company.... and hope to see some significant news in the near future... WITH news I wouldn't want to guess where this could go.
Since we backed off rapidly to .20 or so.... I'd have to guess that someone hit the "at market" button.... oops.
CLEARLY you are right. There is simply too much volume and upward pressure for there NOT to be something REALLY REALLY good in the wings. I picked up another 50k at .175 this morning... yehaaaaa.. Lucky me.
To me this looks more like traders who might know more about the market than those who might be beta testers... or those who might have seen a demo...
Just seems to be too much volume for that to be the case.
The question I am asking myself is... where is this new increase in interest coming from? With no news.. I have to assume that they have found good reason from some other source to invest so heavily in the company. Trading volume is waaaay higher than it has been for as long as I can see. So... where are they getting their information.... and WHAT is this information?
I am a recent investor... bought 50k at .085 just a few days ago... not a bad return on investment so far!
There have been VERY few NRs from the company.... compared to many others in a similar stage of development. What I'd like to know from those of you in the know is... why do you think there has been the very sudden meteoric gain in SP? My take on it is... that the product is very very close to market... and that it seems that it has been very well received...
Am I missing anything more?
I see that there is a lot of back slapping on here of late. I can certainly understand that for those that have been in this for a long time.... The chart really hasn't done much of anything until very recently. Congratulations to those who are being rewarded for their patience.
I would be EXTREMELY surprised if he was NOT posing (and posting) on here.
Apparently it ain't a gonna happen right now! Still watching closely... been doing pretty well lately, hasn't it?
I am very surprised that the SP has held up as well as it has so far this morning. It is going to take some very good news to keep this up, however... and there are limits to how long people will wait for such news. The next 10Q, I feel certain, will have an even more negative impact than this one... if there aren't material changes that drastically enhance shareholder value between now and then. In the meantime... I also am convinced that management will continue to print stock just to keep things going... and, of course... to reward their ever increasing list of "consultants".
Also... anyone have any idea why E-Turd isn't showing a bid or an ask.. as well as obviously the sizes of bid/ask...? I am guessing that the mms ETurd uses for this um...(for lack of a better word) Security.... might be no longer covering it as actively as they used to? Ideas?
