After 10 years of this BB company not performing shouldn't it be time to move on?
The BB craze was 10 years ago. When compamies were forced to file with the SEC the gig was up and this company could not comply and went to the pinks after the cost to continue to do so was too much.
Be well

Game Plan?
Have been trading and doing just fine. Just pared down to 3000 shares and sold 5K at 22.11 for a nice trade.
If we see a pullback under $22 I will double to 6K.
My call is we go higher after earnings but is always a 50/50 shot and huge swings.
I firmly believe Chambers will provide positive comments after the horror show last qtr. He ended up apologizing saying he was too negative.
Thoughts?

What is the good word?
The good word is CSCO - been on a nice run recently.

It seems the little guy is NOT on the distribution list of the secret messages sent by the investment houses when a sector becomes out of favor even though nothing has changed.
Grrrr - amazing the manipulation IMO. FFIV misses by a few million and $.01.
Sold a portion at the close yesterday the balance has turned into an investment and not a trade.
I guess it is better than .50 % or less in a bank or $$$ mkt but you would think this company would not swing so much. It is not even earnings. Sux
Oversold
Picked up more at $20.94
Time to rebound
Reloaded again today
10,000 at 21.22 this afternoon expecting good reports from IBM and AAPL - they did time will tell
love to see a $.40 move

Well said - the relatively tiny risk may be bit over zealous. The recent posts requesting demanding the company gets off the pinks and on a real exchange is the vehicle for price appreciation IMO.
Good luck

At the end of the day pink sheet - non reporting stocks do not allow an investor to do their due diligence as there is not full disclosure.
Agree?
The issue is going up $.03 on a $.07 is indeed 43% the liquidity if not there to make $$$.
It says alot when the price has been the same for years
I like stocks that are in full pennies on the bid and ask and not .077 by .079 not 3 places.
Good luck in your investments
"There are tons and tons of companies out there on the pinks with much higher PPS and market caps and many aren't as good as VTSI."
Unfortunately your opinion or any else's opinion here does not matter
The street sets the price and clearly they have not been impressed to date
The investment community does not follow pink sheet listed companies.

"Who in their right mind releases to the press the equivilent of a sales brouchure with the words 'we sold 11 of these' written across the top? "
sometimes it is better to sell the dogs and move on. ever thought of that?
You said: There's soooo much room for growth around the world. Literally millions of local police forces, hundreds of militarys, private companies etc etc. "
The issue is state and local budgets are in the red and no fed $$$ coming - stimulus - IL just raised taxes 66%. If they can get by without it then the do not need to buy
Just reality
Amazing !!!
Bill you said it right "You must stay up at night coming up with this stuff, in any case another year has passed and we're still at .07. "
The PPS of this pink sheet company has been here at $.10 and under for what 4 yrs. The pinks are the lowest of the low of exchanges. To get compliant they will need to go back from when they left the OTC - a long time ago. The thing they have going for them is being such a small co there are not that many transactions or entries for the financial statements of a more substantial company.
The other issue is very little liquidity and interest so if someone needs to get out of a large position they are the market and will bring the price down with their transaction
Pipe dream Weeble and Felix and others who spend their lives here.
Just a shame
Thank you for the info
The good news for me is I was not a CSCO player prior to earnings but have been an active trader since after the over reaction.
Digging out from 20 inches of snow today in New England. So much for global warming.
GO PATRIOTS!!!

Gotta love this market
INTC running over the last few days prior to earnings
Bylo's rule #1 do not hold into earnings
CSCO will base IMO around $21. I know I can check but when is CSCO's earnings date?
GLTA

CSCO - Looks very strong
Trades today - bought 5K at the open $20.82 sold at $20.91
GE upgraded - shorted 5K $18.71 - covered at $18.58
Shorted 10K of PFE at the close Friday at $18.33 - covered at $18.22 at the open.
Current position 6K CSCO at 20.79 - great mkt - give me $21 and I will do it all over again.
CSCO undervalued IMO
Has been a great start to 2011 - up $12K so far.
Large Caps offer liquidity to get in and out. Using margin and closing most positions and keeping core shares at equity position little or no interest cost. It's called leverage
GLTA
Great day - took i/2 off the table at $20.50.
Going higher BUT will pullback IMO
GLTA
Bylo
Grrrr
Just covered the balance at $20.33
Went long for 5K - now just need to leave it ALONE.

Did not pullback like I thought - still very strong - covered half at the close at 20.19 for little or no gain - loss.
Not all trades are winners.
The short is purely a day or 2 trade overall I am bullish on CSCO. Shorted 4000 more at 20.20 - 10,000 avg at 20.17
Dug out from 20 inches of snow today - fun fun
GLTA
I actually shorted 6000 at 20.15 expecting a pullback. CSCO does not go up $.50 without profit taking IMO
GLTA
Bylo
CISCO -thank you
Out at $20.08 - please pullback again

Hang in there. When one door closes - two more open.
Network - I was laid off was a job I worked at for 17 years. Mini computer company which were rocking in the 80's and 90's and I ended up working for someone I worked with there for the last 14 years for a software company.
It is all about prior work contacts - they know you and the work you will do.
Best of luck
Netjoy/All
Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and HEALTHY and wealthy New Year.
Keep the faith - $19.50 is the low and we go upward from here. $20+ first of the year!
I unfortunately am working next week but I am grateful to have a job in this tough environment.
Best Regards

CSCO #1 Buy on weakness
Cisco was top of list on buy on weakness today............that isn't negative money flow
http://online.wsj.com/mdc/public/page/2_...
Trading CSCO - got out of of some yesterday at $19.72. Unfortunately you need a quick trigger. At the open today it went down to mid 19.50's then quickly to 19.77. Would have been a nice flip but just when I was about it moved down again.
Got 5K at 19.59 a short time ago on another move down.
Total position 15K - order in to sell 1/2 at 19.75 and will keep a core position for the move up.
This is a nice stock NOT to get burned on
GLTA

The run is starting IMO
The tax bill is complete - just need to get the divy announce. The stock will run in anticipation and mutual funds will re-balance the first of the year. Time for the retail investor to position now.
$20+ coming soooon.

I guess I covered too early ORCL now 31.64
Come on CSCO show me something
All in - 10K at $19.54. Pure manipulation
Shorted 4K of ORCL at the open at 32.14 - covered at 31.92 - no stomach for it. I still think ORCL will pullback - no stock like ORCL goes up 5% in one day
GLTA
Bylo
Going to be a good day for CSCO IMO - would like to see a little more manipulation to get a dip to grab some on sale
GLTA
Bylo
Great trade - never regret if the PPS goes up after you sold if you have made $$$
They can suggest all they want - the forces of the market are bigger than the pundits - they do not know shat and a small # of the ones with inside info are finally getting prosecuted
Cramer the clown bashes this best of breed company because he got jilted and burned at earnings.
It's your $$$ - why put it at greater risk at earnings.
Not a big pullback - grabbed another 2K for a 5K position. Hope get back to 10K as I firmly believe shortly after the tax bill passes CSCO will announce their divy.
GLTA
Bylo
Netjoy - CSCO is very low risk a this level
but agree people thought that when it was $24. Biggest mistake people make IMO to hold a position at earnings - never know what the reaction is going to be.
I am 54 and love the market. It is basically legalized gambing except more sophisticated than the track or a casino and you have a real chance to win. As stated before large caps are my game.
Played INTC when it got oversold months ago under $18 - no one wins them all. That's why I trade my favorite at the time and keep a core position.
Hoping to reload at 19.60 or less later today.
Longer term CSCO gets back to low 20's. Big boys playing with it. They don't send out emails to "us" when it is going to run though - lol
Bylo
We'll let's see how this works out sold 9000 at 19.75 - was averaging down to 19.48 - not too happy when it got in the low 19.40's. Still have 3000 - do we get a pullback at the end of the day?
CSCO looking good today
GLTA

Hindsight is always 20/20 - should have sold all of my position at 19.86 yesterday. Was buying all the way down yesterday. Last buy at 19.61 - now with 14,000 shares.
Come on Chambers give us the divy news right after the senate approval vote.
Just a little more powder to buy another $4k today if it stays under 19.60
Cramer is a clown. He is like the Najarian's they always have a position when they tout a company and are out quicker than I am - LOL. Adami has been calling for the
The issue with Cramer is he had a large position in CSCO at earnings and got burned on the move from $24 to $20 next day. Now is the time to buy buy buy with it oversold under $20
