Its in the Minnesota Supreme Court now, without an actual schedule date...

I believe there is pressure on the mineral side, but I've believed that before, and issued permits have been overturned...

If it ever takes off, it's going to be worth a lot of money...

Problem is still the sulfuric acid byproduct and how safely it can be handled... And the pristine waters of Northern Minnesota...

Sorry about the duplicate post...

I missed the last couple of spikes, over the last few years, and historically, they would spike and then drop straight back down... If you didn't catch it on the day it happened, you had to wait like another year...

I had quite a few shares and had to ride through the last couple of dilutions, however i had averaged down to $0.61 and was simply waiting to catch an out...

This last spike was a little different, instead of simply spiking and back down, it bounced a couple of times and settled around $0.50, instead of back down to the mid $0.30's like it had been.

Again, now waiting for a decent entry point... Would do a $0.37 or so if it hits it... Eventually this thing has to materialize. The metals they have to offer are just too precious for the country to overlook forever...

sniffing again... Sold out on the last Spike... Looking for a new entry point, but would like it to go down as little more as long as the clearances are still in the courts...

Thank you Richard, I couldn't seem to find anything on the change...

Is this still a real stock..?

thanks again for the post...

In haste, I didn't realize that you were referencing Reuters, so excuse the previous post...

Hi Ranchhand...

Really an interesting post...

If I can ask, where did you find the Corpus Christi info, mainly because I haven't seen it...

Did you actually call the company..?

I've traded GMLP for several years, both stocks and options. and when it started losing money on earnings reports, I viewed it as opportunities...

Of course, it's apparent today, that it just keeps going down... Every time they pay out a dividend, the stock just tanks... At this time, I own over 4k stocks and have REALLY taken a serious hit... the old "catch a falling knife" deal...

It's also interesting that there is no longer any management ownership in GMLP, and considerable management ownership in GLNG....

You can see why this would be so appealing to me,

I would be extremely interested in finding out about your sources or please post more info on any new developments...

Thanks, denise

I don't know if Golar GMLP monitors iHub's message board's, but if not, I certainly wish they would... I'm not really happy with GMLP right now...

Golar doesn't make it real easy to contact them, except by out of county phone, USA...

Over the years I've had positions in GMLP for periods of time, some very lengthy periods...

Most recently, I took an entry after the May 31st earnings drop and then averaged down a couple of times when it kept dropping, accumulating 3000 shares at $15.42...

I hung on to get the August Dividend, ex-div Aug 6th, payout Aug 14th...

After a couple of moderate bumps up Aug 21 - 24, unfortunately, I didn't think I had received the dividend yet so didn't sell, I didn't realize the dividend was handled differently than my previous broker, and also on Aug 17, I had let another 1500 option shares exercise into equities at a strike of $15 for an average of $15.27 with 4500 shares...

I finally realized that I had received the dividend in the form of a cash deposit for the 3000 shares, but had no idea the stock was going to again drop another $3.00 from 15.65 to 12.74 after that...

In this case, and at the current loss, the dividend is really pretty insignificant...

The question is..? Where is Golar going with this from here..?

One of the particularly bothersome things about GMLP is the management ownership is absolutely 0% for GMLP, and management ownership for the older GLNG is 46%...

GMLP has a 41% funds ownership, but again, the fund's ownership for GLNG is at 99%, and also 2% bank ownership...

I realize that GMLP is a "Limited Partnership", but it still makes you a little nervous seeing these stats...

And I've mostly done well with GMLP in the past...

But also, that was then...

denise

Thanks... I agree... Haven't traded a lot of pharmaceuticals lately so haven't looked at the FDA calendar recently, but agree, that's the key tool... I hope the FDA doesn't derail EXEL too badly though...

Likewise... TradeStation is what I use... Basically, I Daytrade... Just starting to dabble with options...

thanks... I use Seeking Alpha all the time but hadn't been following EXEL that closely, until I saw the drop this morning...

These really bring things into light. Kind of makes a crap-shoot out of the whole deal... I was really into pharmaceuticals about 5 years ago, but they really are volatile, so moved to other areas... We'll have to see what happens...

I caught it on the way down, so baought at 26.30, 26.00 & 25.34 for an ave of 25.88... Didn't think it was going to go as low as it did...

Sitting at the 25.88 for now...

If it gets up to that, and it isn't shooting upward, I might drop half in anticipation of dropping back down... It's really been bouncing a lot... and I agree with the comment a minute ago about exel being our friend...

If you missed exel today, it opened at 28.17 and dropped all the way to 24.67... Like wow..!

On the way back up...! or down..?

This is the same band of thieves as in 2009...

What they don't show is the multitudes of reverse splits, trashing investors to the side of the road, to get their share count down to 29mm...

The chart looks reasonable, but they don't show the road kill in their wake...!

The Market Maker's "Burst Basket Trades" are really on the move again...

Thanks for the explanation... Really appreciate it...

By the way, as typical in Reverse Splits, By 9:00am, MT was down to $22.36 (From $22.76 premarket)

Knock your socks off..!

At yesterday's close, ArcelorMittal's stock was like $7.46...

This morning, just before open, MktSmth was first showing $7.54 in the stock price , and like $22.70 something on the the chart... Tradestation was showing the 22.70 deal on premkt...

Surprise, surprise...! Nothing on Seeking Alpha, nothing on the news..! Nothing on iHub... I finally found an article under NASDAQ http://www.nasdaq.com/press-release...

DewDiligence, Saving Grace...
Thanks for the private response...!

Dah..??? I can't believe I did that.... Really paying attention here..!

Again, thanks...

Also, there is no "u" in Axiom Capital...

Does Axioum have any relevance to Cliffs..?

Thanks for the input, just trying to make sense out of some of this...

I do admit, Lourenco is a "shoot from the hip" kind of guy in a lot of respects, but on the contrary, he's made some brilliant moves in the past.

About this time last year, clf was running about $3 a share, and he made a compact with Arcelormital (MT), which resulted in $2 jump to $5, and than went up $8... Just saying..!

Trying to figure this out recently has been a real stretch though... And ClayTrade recently made the assessment, based on the charts, that clf could still drop to like $5.30 levels or so, based on previous lows... don't remember the exact number..? I'd still like to think that this thing in the low $6's should be a buy...

Thanks for sharing... An exerpt from yesterdeays 8-K form...

Item 8.01.
Other Events.
Cliffs Natural Resources Inc. ("Cliffs") is responding to articles published today by Barron’s Ben Levisohn and Axiom Capital Management’s Gordon Johnson with respect to an open market purchase of 200,000 Cliffs shares made yesterday by its Chairman, President and CEO, Lourenco Goncalves. These comments include statements that are inaccurate and materially misleading regarding Mr. Goncalves’ previous share purchases. In particular, Barron’s and Axiom inaccurately reported that Mr. Goncalves' last open market share purchase occurred in March 2015. In fact, Mr. Goncalves has made multiple significant open market purchases of Cliffs shares since March 2015, totaling 300,000 shares, including two purchases in May 2015 and one purchase in May 2016. All of these purchases were reflected in Form 4’s filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Both Barron’s and Axiom would have been well aware of these later trades from publicly available information at the time their comments were made.

Cliffs believes that such materially misleading misstatements are an intentional attempt to manipulate Cliffs’ share price to support the “bearish” position Mr. Johnson’s firm Axiom has historically taken with respect to Cliffs’ stock. As a result of these statements, Cliffs has already instructed its outside legal counsel to pursue appropriate legal action against all parties involved.

Thanks...

I don't understand the "Whip-Shot" deal here..

On the 28th, I caught the dip for few hundred dollar profit..! and closed out...

On the 1st, I caught another "dip to rise", but held on to it...! In the "After Hours", profits went up to over $400.... At open, it was down to about $200...

There was no real news at the open so I held, and finally dropped it late morning for a profit of about $20... and Extremely glad I did, as in the After hours today, it took a serious nose dive [$8.19 to $7.33].....

now some news comes out...! Like "What the F**8"...?

It's why I asked the question..?

I didn't understand your comment..?

"I think it's a no brainer to catch this nice fade. Seems like easy money."

Are you saying this is a good place to "Short this", or a good entry point on the dip...?

Thanks in advance...

I don't know how many people caught this, but OCLR went up to $8.90 per share in after hours "Form T" trading today...

Unfortunately, my trading platform doesn't allow "after hours trades"...

Be interesting to see what the morning does...

Thanks...

Though, I am not sure what you're actually saying with the quote...

"They are trading at 3X forward earnings. Am I wrong on this number?"..?

Are you saying the stock price is based on like "3 times the first quarter earnings..?" or something like that, and what would it be based on..?

Again, thank you very much for your input...

U.S. Steel -17% after shocking Q1 loss; other steel stocks lower

Apr. 25, 2017 4:57 PM ET|By: Carl Surran, SA News Editor
U.S. Steel (NYSE:X) -17.2% AH after posting an adjusted $0.83/share Q1 loss instead of an expected solid gain.

The company says Q1 results for its flat-rolled segment declined "significantly" Q/Q, "as we expected, primarily due to higher raw material costs, increased planned outage costs, seasonally lower results from our mining operations, and restart costs associated with the Granite City hot strip mill and our Keetac iron ore mine."

X says market conditions have continued to improve, and that it "will realize greater benefits as these improved conditions are recognized more fully in our future results."

Other steel stocks are down in sympathy: NUE -2.3%, STLD -2.8%, MT -4.2%, AKS -4.4%, CLF -5.2% AH.

Is Cliffs Natural (CLF) Poised for a Beat in Q1 Earnings?
April 25, 2017, 03:17:00 PM EDT By Zacks Equity Research, Zacks.com
Read more: http://www.nasdaq.com/article/is-cliffs-natural-clf-poised-for-a-beat-in-q1-earnings-cm779035#ixzz4fIIGILpx
Cliffs Natural Resources, Inc.CLF is scheduled to release first-quarter 2017 results before the opening bell on Apr 27.

Cliffs' adjusted earnings for the fourth quarter of 2016 came in at 41 cents per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 25 cents. The company surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the trailing four quarters, with an average positive surprise of 57.33%.

Sales for the quarter came in at $754 million, surging 58.4% from $476 million in the prior-year quarter. Sales also beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $688.5 million.

Can Cliffs surprise investors again or is it heading for a possible pullback? Let's see how things are shaping up prior to this announcement.

Earnings Whispers

Our proven model shows that Cliffs is likely to beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate this quarter, because a stock needs to have both a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) for this to happen. This is the case here as you will see below:

Zacks ESP : Earnings ESP for Cliffs is currently pegged at +35.29%. This is because the Most Accurate estimate is 23 cents and the Zacks Consensus Estimate is 17 cents. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they're reported with our Earnings ESP Filter .

Zacks Rank : Cliffs currently carries a Zacks Rank #3, which when combined with a positive ESP, make us reasonably confident of an earnings beat.

Note that we caution against Sell-rated stocks (#4 or 5) going into the earnings announcement, especially when the company is seeing negative estimate revisions.
Cliffs Natural Resources Inc. Price and EPS Surprise

Cliffs Natural Resources Inc. Price and EPS Surprise | Cliffs Natural Resources Inc. Quote

Factors to Consider
For 2017, Cliffs expects to generate net income of $510 million. The company projects its full-year selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses to be around $100 million, an $18 million decrease from 2016, of which $25 million is expected to be non-cash expenses.

The company will benefit from its pellet supply contracts with U.S. iron ore customers. It will help to mitigate the impact of volatility in iron ore pricing in global markets. Cliffs should also gain from major supply pacts with ArcelorMittal MT and U.S. Steel Canada to supply pellets, ensuring steady business growth in the segment.

Moreover, steel demand in the U.S. is expected to be driven by strength in the automotive sector and an expected increase in construction activity, which augurs well for iron ore demand. Steel market conditions in the U.S. have improved of late, driven by favorable developments on the import front in the form of imposition of heavy tariffs on imports.

Cliffs is also focusing on cost management, reflected by a decline in overall cash costs in 2016. The company's cash costs for the U.S. operation fell roughly 7% year over year to $55.97 per long ton in 2016. The company's cost initiatives are also expected to support its earnings in the first quarter. The company has also implemented a strategic capital allocation plan to ensure optimum utilization of cash.

Cliffs remains focused on de-leveraging its balance sheet. The company's net debt fell around 25% year over year to around $1.8 billion at the end of 2016. The company redeemed all of its outstanding senior notes due in Jan 2018 in third-quarter 2016, reducing its interest expense by $17 million a year. Cliffs' sustained commitment to reduced debt will further lower its interest expenses, which would lend support to its earnings.

However, Cliffs' shares lost around 19.3% over the past three months underperforming the Zacks categorized Mining-Iron industry's 18% loss.


Stocks That Warrant a Look

Here are some other companies in the basic materials space you may want to consider as our model shows these have the right combination of elements to post an earnings beat this quarter:

The Chemours Company CC has an Earnings ESP of +4.08% and carries a Zacks Rank #1. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks Rank #1 stocks here .

Franco-Nevada Corp. FNV has an Earnings ESP of +15.8% and carries a Zacks Rank #3.

That would BE earning's... Honestly, type much..????

that would earning's

Is CLF's earning tomorrow..?

I didn't see this till now, but nice call...!

The only thing anyone can really do is watch what happens next to the stock...

I've taken some pretty bad hits from IMUC over the years...

One of the things I've liked about IMUC is their efforts to develop some kind of a cure for "Glio-Blastoma" Brain tumor cancers...

To date there is no cure for "Glio-Blastoma", sp?, and efforts in the past have, "by and large", been fruitless...

It's hard to catch these kind of jumps when they happen in one day, and for no apparent reason... Imuc has been idle for a long time, even before their reverse split sometime back, to keep their “AMEX” registration… They might have even been NASDAQ at one time…
They have been trading around 100K shares for a long time… And who pays attention to a stock that’s simply been degrading for so long… But, about 1:30 eastern time today, institutional trading started picking up, and began to skyrocket by 3:00… By the end of the day, they had traded like 1.5 million shares… I don’t suspect many retail traders caught this, but somebody in the institutions must have caught wind of something….

Long time no see...

You must have really got nipped someplace...

35 is tough to beat..!
I've been in and out of ford for about six years... Here's an order from 2012 though... See below.. Commissions were $9.95 back then... I know somewhere I had also gotten some in the 8's...

I never get out totally, always at least leaving the dividend stocks in... I try to miss some of the dips though... They're not always easy to catch... like that $2 hit back in July or August (I think)...

I had 1600 shares + the odd dividend ones, but in Dec, dropped 1200 when when the stock really started to dive again, and bought 600 back on Tuesday morning Jan 2, for $12.31... Could have got it for $12.14, if I wouldn't have diddled around...

One thing about ford I've found over the years is, you don't have to get real heartburn over the stock, if you can catch it low or even get hit with dips, it will eventually come back up....

Good luck trading...
