Oh I am quite aware of penny stock actions.
I have been in and out of this stock in several different accounts for a long time. I think my first purchase was back in 2009. I have no problem waiting for the next pop. This stock and others like it all fall into my mad money category. If I lose money on it, my retirement won't suffer and the kids still go to college. Sure I would like it to go up, but I can wait. Like you, I believe OPXS will rise again.
Go OPXS
No volume day again?
Makes one think that other than our select group of investors in here, no one really knows about this little gem. I suppose there is the inevitable next pump to give this sleeper a little nudge.

The Market is being exceptionally cruel today.
Earnings per share and revenue all increased but the company issued earnings per share guidance for its 2014 third quarter in the range of 12 cents to 17 cents, below the Capital IQ consensus of 22 cents per share. NTRI also missed on revenue as they reported expecting revenue to be between $85 million and $90 million, compared to the consensus estimate of $94.49 million.
The shares fell in after hours trading and currently is down almost 12% today. The shares are down over $2.00, pretty much wiping out the past 3 month slow and steady gains. I find the sell off strange as the company reported an increase in net income to $8.70 million for the 2014 second quarter, from $6.35 million for the same period last year.
Let's see. They are making money, their forward estimates are bullish and their customer base is rising. Like I said, the market is being quite cruel today...

Never saw UNIS slide like this.
Around 5 months of pretty steady decline. A few bounces and the like but the stock since the middle of March has lost over half it's value and seems to be stuck at these low prices. Is this a sinking ship or one hell of a buying opportunity? Time will tell.

52 Week Low Today.
Well done and exceptional patience. Looking at the chart for the day, it appears there was a good sized dip right after the open. Good call and hopefully it goes up from here.

Where is this going?
In the past 30 days, this has dropped from around $34.00 to it's current price of around $27.00 a share. I guess the buyout rumors have totally worn out and we are back to the roller coaster that is NPSP. Seems strange that even when good news hits, there is a negative effect on the price. This is a tough one to figure out...

While I am sure you mean well, all that you reference in your links is pretty old news. Almost a year I think. New Vitality seems to be totally out of the picture currently. There were rumors flying around as to why but I cannot confirm them so I won’t repeat them. It does seem obvious that there is really no deal with New Vitality at this time. Also, it’s only my opinion but I think that “Wall Street Buy Sell Hold” would interview anyone they thought they could make a buck off of. If you look on YouTube, you will see many interviews by Chris Castaldo and others of WSBSH with many “CEO” types. I’m not sure if it is a good or bad thing and the exposure couldn’t hurt, but it seems they are pretty open to interviewing anyone. Kind of all things to all people?
Congratulations on working with Nutra Pharma. I hope it goes well for you as it would then perhaps give some direction to the rest of us as to how the company is doing. Keep us informed where you can please.
I use TD Ameritrade. I have for years and never had a problem. GLTY
Good luck with that.
The lowest this stock has gotten in the past year was $2.55 and it seems to recover just when you think it might tank. I've been in this stock for a long time and got in cheap. Just riding the waves right now waiting for that next big jump. Good luck to you.
Would be nice to hear something.
This is from Bloomberg all the way back on June 5th...
With drugmakers pursuing deals like never before, Shire Plc (SHP)’s best defense against becoming a target may be to go on the hunt itself.
Reports last week that Shire is weighing a bid for NPS Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NPSP) have pushed that company’s shares up 20 percent. While NPS said it hasn’t held talks with Shire about a deal, Piper Jaffray Cos. said Shire needs to make purchases if it wants to keep from being gobbled up amid the record $139 billion in pharmaceutical deals that were announced so far this quarter. Dublin-based Shire has been speculated as a takeover candidate because of the $35 billion company’s Irish tax base and focus on fast-growing rare-disease treatments.
“If they want to stay independent, then going on a bit of a shopping spree makes it harder for another entity to go after them,” David Amsellem, a New York-based analyst at Piper Jaffray said in a phone interview. “They will be approached. They probably have been approached.”
NPS, a $3.5 billion maker of medicines for short-bowel syndrome and hypoparathyroidism, would be a logical acquisition candidate for Shire because it would bolster the company’s portfolio of rare-disease drugs, according to Wedbush Inc. Other possible targets for Shire, which has increased its dealmaking the last two years, may include muscular dystrophy drug developers Prosensa Holding NV (RNA) and Sarepta Therapeutics Inc. (SRPT), said Cenkos Securities Plc.
Jessica Mann, a representative for Shire, said the company doesn’t comment on M&A speculation.
Well, Now what???

Well this is rather confusing.
NPSP files an 8-K to dispel rumors of a potential buyout. What are the lawyers going to do now?
- - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
Although it is generally NPS Pharmaceuticals, Inc.’s (“NPS”) policy not to comment on media speculation and market rumors, in light of the erroneous press reports that Shire Plc (“Shire”) has had communications with NPS concerning a purported offer by Shire to acquire NPS, NPS confirmed that to date NPS has not had any communication with Shire or any representative of Shire concerning the acquisition of NPS by Shire. NPS intends to continue its policy of not commenting on media speculation and market rumors and undertakes no obligation to update the information contained in this Report.
In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, and such information shall not be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act unless specifically stated.

SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Pomerantz LLP Investigates Claims That the Merger May Not Be in the Best Interest of Investors of NPS Pharmaceuticals, Inc. - NPSP
12:34p ET June 2, 2014 (PR NewsWire) Print
Pomerantz LLP is investigating claims on behalf of investors of NPS Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("NPS Pharmaceuticals" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: NPSP) (ISIN: US62936P1030) (CUSIP: 62936P103) concerning the proposed acquisition of NPS Pharmaceuticals by Shire Plc.
NPS Pharmaceuticals shareholders seeking more information about this acquisition are advised to contact Robert Willoughby at rswilloughby@pomlaw.com or 212-661-1100 or 888-476-6529, ext. 237.
The investigation concerns whether the NPS Pharmaceuticals directors are breaching their fiduciary duties by failing to adequately shop the Company and maximize shareholder value. Under the terms of the agreement, each share of NPS Pharmaceuticals will be exchanged for $40 in cash. However, the Price to Revenue and Book Value multiples are below comparable transactions' averages, and at least one Analyst set target price of $44 per NPS Pharmaceuticals share.
Pomerantz LLP, with offices in New York, Chicago, Florida, and San Diego, is acknowledged as one of the premier firms in the areas of corporate, securities, and antitrust class litigation. Founded by the late Abraham L. Pomerantz, known as the dean of the class action bar, the Pomerantz LLP pioneered the field of securities class actions. Today, more than 75 years later, the Pomerantz LLP continues in the tradition he established, fighting for the rights of the victims of securities fraud, breaches of fiduciary duty, and corporate misconduct. The Firm has recovered numerous multimillion-dollar damages awards on behalf of defrauded investors. See www.pomerantzlaw.com.

Possible Buyout??
Shares of NPS Pharmaceuticals, a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing therapies to treat rare diseases, skyrocketed as much as 26% after rumors surfaced that it could be the target of a buyout.
According to a report from FT Alphaville, which cited familiar sources, Shire (NASDAQ: SHPG) has held internal talks and has been working with its advisors to possible arrange an all-cash offer for NPS Pharmaceuticals of around $40 per share. If Financial Times' blog is accurate, it would represent a valuation in excess of $4 billion for NPS and place a premium of roughly 50% on the company compared to yesterday's closing price. As of this writing, no comment has been issued by either Shire or NPS concerning the matter
Well, the stock sure jumped today...
Wednesday: 16 Trades I think?
The chart here on IHub is a bit wacky today. Yahoo shows just under 1.3M shares traded but not near that on this chart.

There are a few other reasons people do not move on. Remember, every stock has to have the “White Knight” to tell us the error of our ways and OPXS is no stranger to them. Of course there is the knit-picker that has to over analyze everything yet will offer no insight of their own. Then we have the “I told you so” person. You know the one that can make the correct call all the time because it’s always after the fact. Finally, we have the arrogant “I know more than everyone” person who can do no wrong and obviously knows more than mere mortals concerning well, just about anything. Add these to the pumpers, the dumpers, the cheerleaders and the doomsday people and we have ourselves a party.

Tanking again.
Can anyone give me a hint why this stock is a roller coaster? I am having trouble understanding the huge moves on what appears to be no news. Perhaps I am not looking in the right places?
NPSP was one of Zack's 10 best for this year so I did a little research and bought a small position at the beginning of the year. I am starting to wonder if I will ever see green again.
Big shock. A late filing again.
Rik filed a FORM 12b-25 - NOTIFICATION OF LATE FILING.

Sierra World Equity Review has moved on. They have a new alert to pump(?) and have left OPXS behind. On their website they, of course, claim OPXS was a success with a 25% gain. I have not attempted to verify their numbers as frankly, I don't care. I'm not sure if they were the kiss of death or not, but it sure seems they did little to help the stock. It makes one wonder just how many followers that wannabe stock picker site actually has.
