Nice. Insider stock purchases are just about the single best indicator of company intent IMO...honestly wonder why other legit sub-pennies don't so this more often! I love to play "with the house".
I saw a few "action" pictures in there! Okay, it was some people sitting at the Infrax table talking...
...but maybe they were sealing another deal!
FEEL - reversal confirmed. Plenty of room to move up from this morning's levels.
[marked] - nice board and team you are putting together here CMAJ!
MMTE looks close to bustin' a move this morning
Can't shake when there's nothing but ask hits!

Notice they kept trying to lower the bid even as the last trade price held and steadily increased. It took about 35 transactions at the ask to finally convince the MMs to raise that bid.
Friday was the best single day buy-to-sell trade ratio I've ever seen for IFXY. The Times They Are A Changin':
Welcome MrPink33. What are you watching going into this week?
I am 100% aligned with you on FEEL. I didn't include it in our picks going into the week because some conditions need to be confirmed. If Monday looks good, let's alert it as a BUY!
My pick is CPBM 0.101
Best of da Board - week of Jan.31
LGBS - Mods cmjr123, DrZ, and HMP contributor Awaken all like this one to move bigly soon!
ZLUS - Several of our contributors like ZLUS this week!
EXSA - [Awaken]
RPPR - [cmjr123]
And, a couple of carry-overs from last week:
MXMI - Smit Dog and DrZ still playing this low-floater.
MCLN - A "Smit Dog Special" We know what that usually means...
VYGO - Didn't go last week yet we still feel a run is due. [cmjr123]
Yes, and I'd like to include some of yours too please. You like LGBS, AUCI, and...?
Mods, what are your top 2-3 plays for a move this week?
Wow super alert there BC. Gotta remember to look over here more often. :)
Yes, I use the weekends to DD recent suggestions from HMP mods and contributors, combine that with a few of my own ideas, and assemble our weekly list by Moday's open like this. Do you have one to perhaps feature here?
Best,
DrZ
That was just a report on the one stock we picked specifically for Hot Stocks. The tricky part about that contest is no one really trades a stock for the exact duration of of business week, right? Most of my picks have surged up 20-70% by Wednesday (where I take profit) but they don't hold their gains. I'm sure you and many others run into the same challenge.
Our scorecard for the "Best of the Board" picks going into the week was quite good!
From that aggregate list of 5 picks, there was:
* A huge MOMO runner (TEMN)
* A solid 80% gainer (MXMI) Your play originally then I bought and endorsed it too.
* The 30% bouncer you called (BGOI)
* Even FLTDD made for a 20% trade on Monday (just picked specifically for the Hot Stocks contest..didn't buy any)
Only VYGO didn't do anything during that week.
------------------------------------------------------------
Originally my thinking was to pick out from all of the posts only what I liked for that week and "hosting" it on behalf of the board. But you are such a talented stock picker in you own right, I have no problem with breaking out our recommendations by moderator.
I still want to limit the overall number of our picks. One "trick" many other boards use is to throw up a ton of tickers, then later claim, "see, we called XXXX". Well yeah, "XXXX" was the one that actually ran out of 12 guesses! Do that with 2 guesses then I'll be impressed. So our goal here is to offer a smaller list with a higher percentage of winners.
Would you like your own "Smit Dog's Stocks to Watch this week" sticky post?". Your best 3 or 4 perhaps?
I am PMing you with an important message
I know 4 holders accounting for about 25 million shares alone.
NP, just having fun being low man this week.
AUCI AUCI AUCI . Sounds like something people say when they stub their toe.
You like anything in the trip zeros, eh? I see here they have gone as far as to actually announce a potential RM candidate. Kind of unusual, most of the time it is not named up front like this. Do you know anything about the reputation of CEO Doug Mann?

You two tore it up this week!
Me? Well..hey, it went up
Whoa! Speak of the devil...

I keep thinking VYGO's GOTTA run soon...
Love the ADX crossover. And are my eyes deceiving me, or is that dang Accum finally curling upwards ever so slightly?
Right, the bigger the speculative run up hoping for news, the more likely it would another sell-off when the news hits. A solid 10-15 gain this week is perfect IMO. It is much more important to me that we establish and hold incrementally increasing support levels. I own too many shares to endorse big MOMO runs that collapse back and hurt the stock long-term.
MXXH break out!!
Looking like we finally have this float well tightened down again.
Okay everyone, now no "swing trading" please!
Were not changing the way we trade or make calls. Don't even have to change the name. Just brainstorming about ways to more accurately reflect what we do here. I've been thinking about a way to categorize a few distinct trading strategies.
The term "MOMO trade" to me means it is not bought until the volume and the true MOMO effect has already begun. It is basically a day trade, although sometimes the MOMO has enough staying power to hold for 2 days. Total turnover period would always be less than 3 days because you we not waiting for MOMO, we are playing it NOW!
Then there are those "Low volume pre-momo loaders" based on DD and other subtle signals that us mods are good at picking up on. Every company situation is unique and somewhat unpredictable obviously. But for the sake of trying to define the strategy, imagine a roughly 20 day window. Lots of time to build a large position at a great price by buying on daily dips. Then we sell on the first big move, or if it is lucky enough to also catch true MOMO, sell into the peak of the MOMO. We were loading TEMN at .0005 and .0006 when nobody else cared about it. I've been reading posts from the big-name MOMO players that write "made $800 flipping TEMN he he". Well several in our behind-the-scenes crew made more than 15-TIMES that....building positions with many millions of shares.
We also try to support great buy-and-holders like TSE:CUM. Not to say we never trade those; smaller batches can still be mini-flipped while always holding shares. Look at the chart alongside a simple 50MA...perfect little buy and well signals while very bullish longer-term.
TEMN Recap: yes it was our HMP email pick @ .0005!
And since then notice how well it has been called publicly.

Thinking of changing our board's name to allow for picks that require a little more patient trading style. Open to suggestions!
LOL LOL LOL !! That was the funniest post I've read here in a while. MM Good? No Dad, MM bad!
I'd person-mark you twiceif iHub would let me.
Take 2 runners and call me in the morning.
Oy I hate that! That is why, as long as my purchase price stays relatively stable, I don't mind holding much longer then the typical flipper. I for one make mistakes when trying to force too many trades in too short a time....would rather pre-load more shares on the 1-3 I am most confident in (like TEMN) than try to flip 10 stocks with a few shares for small profits at a time.
It's quite a balancing act between tying up money in a stock that isn't moving vs. impatience and too much chasing, huh? Seems to be more a "feel" thing than an exact science. If ATIG runs I'll just have to take my lumps. Your timing is excellent for the most part - hey we're human dawg.
Nice. FBP is another one in a similar price range I like right now for a buy/hold or occasional trade.
Doh! Okay, I'm done with this one for now...it will probably need news to move.
NEXT!
More great news at IFXY. Man this company delivers the goods. Looks like it's getting more sustainable upward movement today - thank goodness no AM gap.
Steady as she goes traders....please don't destroy my stock.
GridMesh is READY!!
Kudos for including RINO. Maybe just a chart play now, but a great big board trading stock IMO before the fall from grace! Its future is completely unpredictable now...I guess seeing your post made me realize it has been reduced to a chart play only. A little sad for a ticker that has done so well for me, yet understandable.
Right...it realistically HAD to be that way.
I'll be watching next few days for another optimal loading opportunity....promise to put some shares in my non-flipper account this time so I can be a real long here. :)
