Alan, I think the blog is informative and is really
needed.
But they need to do away with the BLUE text over that GREEN AQUA background...It's killing my eyes. C'mon Jack Z, we gotta change
the color scheme baby.
I'm a 39yr old geezer and I know there
are other geezers out there that are squinting harder
than me to read the stuff on that GREEN AQUA background.
Just my 2 Yen....
bardamus
Mappo,
I've been MIA due to work....and also our
team being down...we root....we just don't root
as loud anymore.
My eyeballs aren't as glued to the stock price
as they used to be. And Mr. Humor has been
killed off here more times than Kenny from South
Park. But we still check in. Good to read the
posts.
Be safe this Sept. and Oct. as these are
DANGEROUS TIMES to be in the market.
bard
Still here Akec.....my day job keeps
me really BUSY though. I prefer to read the
posts now more than anything....still
rooting for the HOME team.
bardamus
Thank you Abrahams.
Your post rings true with wisdom.
Hey, at the bottom of what you wrote,
reads:
"My buddy Bob is in jail here. It is
unfair. Free Bob so he can exercise
his Freedom of Speech, guaranteed by
the Constitution."
Yeah, ok...did he hit someone?
How can we help?
bardamus
Thanks supraman911.
That was a ___ FINE first post.

Mappo!
You hit it on the nail -
"IT'S NOW OR NEVER."
We need to watch out
for any late selling.

Hi Seldom,
My computer shows $0.155 as the close.
Isn't it nice that we finished today in
a standstill? A standstill sure beats a last
minute ambush by our sellers.
bard
Stay on them!
Stay on them boys! (coughing coughing)
Watch for the LOW BLOW.
Watch for the LOW BLOW. (coughing coughing)
Hey AbrahamS,
It helps if the popcorn don't have
butter or salt on it. When you do a lot
of jumping up and down on the bleachers
like us - it's easy losing weight.
That was some wise words you gave Gidget
about sittin & waiting.
THE BIG GUN CLUB didn't become "big guns"
by just acting impatiently...
Ok ok, down to business....me and Retardamus
is seeing movement on the left flanks....
KATX Sniper Squad - we hope you is in place.
We are spotting for you.
bardamus
Good morning KATX people!
(still morning where we're from)
We hope everyone is fine.
And thank you john10204 for the kind words
and gesture. That's some real ALOHA on a
so-so day like today.
We have sore throats today so we will
be lacking full vocal power for the 3:50pm
festivities.
I told Retardamus not much is gonna happen
today because both the enemy and us is a little
tired. Heck, there'll be less than
2 million troops on the battefield so that
qualifies as a skirmish in my book.
But we still root for the home team because
we ain't fair weather fans....rain or shine
- GO KATX -
bardamus
Pooter,
You and my other KATX brothers have posted
some very wise and insightful observations
regarding Technical Analysis and Fundamental
Analysis. It is often a heated debate
(it should not be) and we all need to think
this through calmly and methodically.
The only way to get to the bottom of this debate
is to just ask the stock itself what it is
that moves it. So let's all put our ears very
close to our monitors now, cause we need to
hear the answers that the stock is gonna
give us (we got carried away and asked
many questions):
KATX STOCK, WHAT IS IT THAT MOVES YOU??
(silence)
WHY DID YOU GO DOWN TODAY KATX STOCK??
(silence)
KATX STOCK, DO YOU CARE IF I EAT
A PIZZA OR A HOTDOG BEFORE BUYING
YOU?
(silence)
KATX STOCK, DO YOU CARE IF SOMEONE
BUYING YOU BELIEVES IN FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSIS
OR TECHNICAL ANALYSIS?
(silence)
Darn! Why can't we get any straight answers from the stock??
Stay calm! Stay calm!
Retardamus, keep working the radio -
I don't care if she's broken.
Kitty, you ain't got no paws left
almost. Don't worry, don't
worry....some of our boys is
standing by. They is trained
to look for THE FOOT.
4th and 10. Do our Die time
boys.
bard
You could be right Ciscokid,
We is all worried a little, kitty's bitin
the nails on all 4 of her paws...
Me and Retardamus is on the radio, trying
to call in REINFORCEMENTS. Darn, if the
enemy has jammed all communication lines!
They is sneaky.
The cavalry might show up at 3:55 or
they might not.
Wow Midnightcruizer!
We need your kitty in the trenches!
We need someone to take out Mr. Dumper.
..or your feline can join us on the bleachers too!
Hold the lines....Hold the lines....
Yes, that we do Akec...
That kitty can hold a machine gun
and a grenade. He can meow meow
louder than any other kitty.
But darn it - he and his other
head is eating all the popcorn!
All of us will spot for any SNIPERS
who try for a 3:58 or 3:59 attack.
bard
Thank you rebelsleeper.
(Hands and paws to our temples)
bardamus
Double-Headed Kitty,
Pass the popcorn! Geeeeeeeezz. Yes, I know
I know Retardamus - they is startin early.
Still, this drive might lead to somethin...
stay positive, stay positive...
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Oh boy! They is startin fireworks early!!
We are makin our way to the bleachers right
now! (--day job interruptions be damned --)
Action's heating up boys.
bardamus
Ferowe,
Your "Gooooooooo KATX!!!! sounded
really good to our ears.
Don't worry about something
disappearing here or there.
That's one skill me
and Retardamus have under our belt.
Nobody, and I mean nobody can beat us
for NEVER BAD-MOUTHING another poster
or saying anything negative about KATX
- and yet many of our scribblings have
ended up in Siberia.
GLTY,
bard
Good morning KATX people!
We hope everyone is fine!
Well, it is only half-time and we are RED so far.
Retardamus sees nothing positive today.
So I am reminding him constantly that some
lucky bastard has or will buy at the LOW
OF THE DAY.
And then I remind him of THE BIG GUN
CLUB - our KATX brothers who have a
combined share count of around 7 million shares.
If they started as grunts like us but have
risen in ranks - then we might have a chance too.
We welcome any new enlistee's who are making
their first buys today.
bardamus
Thanks Capt. Fade
You've been added to my list of "big guns"
....sorry, I'm on the cheapie account so
cannot PM.
(hands to temple)
bardamus
Why you sorry?
Stand proud Major TmanB.
(hand to our temples)
bardamus
Homevendor,
You and Capt. Nachzala are "big guns" in my book.
Cause anyone holding more than 500,000 shares ranks up there.
Retardamus and I would love to hear a friendly "hi" from
anyone in the 1 million share club.
We know the GENERALS and the KATX Army will not salute
you for taking on this much risk at this time.
But me and Retardmus just want to salute you sir.
(hand to our temples)
bard
Tradersrule,
Aloha brother! Me and Retardamus is in a grumpy
mood this morning cause there is no more creamer
for our coffee -- Before we run out, we thought
it fitting to remind you of IH Admin [Shelly]'s
signature block:
"Great minds discuss ideas; Average minds discuss events; Small minds discuss people." Eleanor Roosevelt
...don't worry Trader, me and Retardamus is in the
SMALLER THAN SMALL MINDS (we is pea-brain sized)
because we always discuss imaginary people like
Mr. Market and Mr. Dumper.
bard
Er0ck,
Sorry for late reply, just got back from the beach
on a glorious day here.....
I guess we have a "fundamental" difference in our
thinking on why we are in the KATX Army.
Everyone joins for their own reasons....
But that is ok with me...I respect your posts, and
if you look at all my posts - you will see that I NEVER
get involved with discussions on the Fundamental level.
I rely on you and the other Generals of this board
to put down The Great Doubter and his minions. They
are the ones you should channel your GUSTO
into - not little old bardamus. I fight with the grunts.
....now let me just tell you, there were a lot of BEAUTIFUL
girls at the beach today...Ohh, I'm so lucky to be single.....
Too many to count....
Ok, let me ask you General Er0ck.....remember the last
time you noticed a very attractive woman? (Hope it is not
too long ago) Was it not her outside beauty that caught
your eye?? Was it not her hair? or say her figure? or maybe
the perfume she wore?? Or could it have been a dress or
heels??
The point is - the attraction (at least for me) comes from
the outside appearance FIRST. Of course a girl's looks
are the first thing I notice, no shame in saying
that. And then, if I am interested - I
will seek out her FUNDAMENTAL characteristics. I
will get to know her personality and all those inside things.
There is an "image", "appearance" or "attraction" to this
company. And I am just telling you that some people find that
thing that I'm talking about - in the stock price and in the
patterns that form in the charts. They are "attracted" to
KATX solely because she is a "very attractive" looking stock.
Have a good one,
Bardamus
Trader,
our time horizons are so different. I hope not to be
misunderstood. There is a short term "trend" and there is
a long term "trend". The real gains will come from the
LONG TERM trend. This requires you to "sit still"
for weeks, months, maybe a year or so - who knows.
You see the short term one as not so rosy.
Me and Retardamus see the LONG TERM trend very rosy.
I would NEVER hold this stock down to .05 because I would
cut my losses quickly. And -IMO- it will never see south of 0.12 again. A DEVASTATING news event would have to happen.
That floor is firming up at 0.12 -- Since you love to
flip, I'd be standing by with boatloads of cash if
it should reach there again.
GLTA.
bard
Thank you for the quick reply Er0ck.
I think even though we are on the same team, we look at things very differently. You obviously champion the FUNDAMENTALS of this
company. And I am more of a "trend" follower based on the
TECHNICALS of the stock.
You: "First of all charts don't lie, but they also don't tell the truth either. What they provide people with is raw data. In this sense they are non-bias, but contrary to your statements, they are full of "maybes, what-ifs" etc..."
Truth? Who is talking about truth? There are stories behind each
candle rise and fall - but those things belong in the FUNDAMENTAL realm and do not concern followers of the TECHNICALS.
Anyone who studies charts knows not to buy into
a stock that DOWNTRENDS. Because there is a reason for the
selling. What it is - IS NOT IMPORTANT. Just from seeing a lot
of red candles, you would know to stay away from it.
Er0ck, you believe in KATX as a company but if I am hearing you
correctly - you are saying DO NOT BASE YOUR BUYING DECISIONS
ON WHAT THE CHARTS/STOCK IS SHOWING BECAUSE THAT IS AN UNRELIABLE
INDICATOR.
I am saying: "KATX of course has good fundamentals - I just don't care about that. BUT DAMN, WE CAN SEE THAT THE BUYING OF IT'S STOCK IS OVERWHELMING THE SELLING. There is a clear trend there. So let's put our money into it."
You: "One thing is for sure, we are not in a "up trend" as you stated, we are in a down trend. We have been in a down trend since the end of may, roughly. We had an "up" week, but the overall trend is down."
Buddy, zoom out your focus...why are you starting in May?
Start from Nov. 2009 and try to look at this stock from a longer
perspective. It doesn't count to look at it that way because it is a PENNY? I mean, you are a LONG right?? Our time horizons
should not be based on anything less than months I hope.
No matter what we believe in, I will only wish your Account
Balance grows.
bardamus
Thank you Rick-UK for that excellent post.
I gotta save your post so I can go back to it and
reread it in the future.
Yours is the first post I have read that mentions
the FUNDAMENTALS of this company as well as the
TECHNICALS of it's stock. These 2 things are as
different as night and day....
Everything you wrote, I totally agree with - I am only going to
add some garnishings and my own observations. I hope I
can keep it brief and simple so that I do not waste anyone's time.
Since it is the KAT'S chart that I am in love with more than
anything else - I will talk about the CHARTS only.
Stock charts DO NOT LIE. That is the beauty of them since
there is no "maybe", "what-ifs", "how about" "IMO" -- there is no
muddy debates or bullshit going on with the charts. There is just
PRICE and candles and volume. And the astute investor/trader who can
read a chart (it's an art) - should be able to see patterns and trends.
I'm no different than anyone else - I love watching the stock,
I cheer for it, and me and Retardamus's eyeballs are glued
to the monitor everyday. But I really think we don't need to do that.
This stock's trend is UP...and that is why our money is in it.
If we zoom out our focus on the KATX chart, we just need to look back
to Nov. 2009. THAT IS WHEN THE UPTREND STARTED. And the stock
has continually been going up and up. The daily battles in the
stock price are fun to watch - but it is THE ZOOMED OUT "Big Picture"
that really matters. That is the real "trend"
We just need to sit tight like old Livermore said. "Sit tight" y'all
bardamus
Yippee!!
Everybody have a good weekend.
bardamus
WATCH THE FOOT! WATCH THE FOOT!!
Final buzzer going off soon!
Eyes on the prize boys. Eyes on the prize!!
Stay on them boys!
Locked and loaded you are. Don't

I don't know Retardamus, just enjoy

Ohhh, this is gettin good...
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Push them back!!
Defense! Defense!
Ahhh, Lt. Mappo.
Always a pleasure to fight by your side.
Actually, I have no ammo so I root for
all the "fighters".
We are a little cloudy here today sort of
like the weather on the battlefield.
But me, Retardamus, double-headed kitty,
and the others is slowly gettin situated
on the bleachers. We are excited.
Action's heating up Mappo.
bardamus
Thanks Akec.
We need to arm them kitty's.
Left one gets a machine gun and the
right one a grenade.
They is attacking early today with
their cheap pot-shots.
Hold the lines boys.
bard
Cisco,
Good enthusiasm. I like your fightin spirit...
Just that if we Precious Metal Pussies are
gonna stand our ground - we got to be
aware of THE ATTACK brewing after 3:50pm.
...GET EM Cisco!!
bard
