I went to Evolution Capital Partners' website and filled out a web request form to see if I could get any information on their dealings with HNSS.
Web form gave me an error and said it could not submit at this time...
Emailed Black asking for details to be made public but have not heard anything back.
Etrade says 10/18/2013 as the release date. Don't companies typically report on a Monday or Tuesday?
Odd that AAPL is down but the general market (Dow) is up. If it was Washington-related, wouldn't you think the whole market would be down?
Nailed it.
Apple's drop last week from a series of bank downgrades and a coordinated media blitz was a prime example. No one could ever make me believe that was not a planned take down for the sole purpose of creating fear in investor's minds and causing a selloff.
This helped them pick up cheap shares prior to the launch and also let them keep all the money they made on people buying long calls prior to the launch that ended up being worthless.
Apple is losing market share, but who cares? People don't understand that losing market share (in percent terms) does not mean Apple is selling less phones.
Example with easy numbers:
100 smart phones sold this year, 10 of them are iPhones.
Apple's market share? 10%
200 smart phones sold next year, 15 of them are iPhones.
Apple's market share? 7.5%
So, Apple's market share went down, BUT... Apple increased its phone sales by 50% YoY. Only idiots and spinsters would try and tell you that's a bad thing.
Bottom line is Apple continues to increase its customer base in real number of phones sold, even while the competition floods the market with cheap crap that has only a fraction of the profit margin of an iPhone.
Its going to be a dog fight getting back to $500. Shorts really don't want to chase it up in order to cover, and are working overtime to keep a lid on the pps.
Agreed. I thought we'd be hearing the company's plan as soon as the RS was completed and everyone had their shares back.
Yep. Most of us just want to see our investment back at breakeven. Even that will take a monumental effort by Black to create a viable and successful company that new investors want to be a part of, all while doing his best NOT to dilute the OS and continue the decline in shareholder value.
Figure we should hear something fairly soon.
Bahahaha... You just linked to a 20 year song (a horrible one, by the way).
How does that "explain" anything about Apple?
Answer: It has absolutely nothing to do with Apple.
I think max pain for Sept options is $465. Might see that hit end of day tomorrow. After that we move up as iPhone 5C & 5S sales numbers for the first weekend come in.
If I had the choice, I'd choose sleep right now!
Why wouldn't you buy short at the current price of 474?
Not us. NITE probably wants to buy all they can at .061 so they can turn around and sell to you at .062. Maybe make $5 in profit, but hey, that's how those MM's work.
Why is AGQ down this morning with physical silver up? Something to do with options expiration tomorrow?
Only played with for a few minutes now but I like the new look.
Its a little laggy when texting which I attribute to my phone being 2 years old and having been dropped several times from heights ranging from 10-20 feet in the air ha. The memory was also almost maxed out prior to the update.
Downloading now. No matter what I think about the update, I'll be getting a 5s ASAP. My 4s is on its last legs.
On it. Just a friendly reminder that there is a market for your shares out there if you decide you've had enough.
G'day.
Same. Loaded on January, looking to April for the next leg.
The negative iHubbers were wrong, but Wall St. wasn't wrong. They knew exactly what they were doing when they orchestrated this take down. Everyone who bought sept calls before the iphone announcement got screwed over big time.
Apple will bounce back in a big way.
Sell your shares bud. Someone is willing to buy 10,000 at .061
Don't think its shorting either. Said a few days ago that we should be ready to see a mass exodus of unhappy investors/traders as their shares become available after the split (post was removed for some reason?).
We'll probably see this for a while and, as always, its going to be up to Black to create a level of support while also adding per share value. This can only be done by conveying to the public a properly thought-out plan for HNSS, and subsequent execution of that plan.
Its up to Black to prove HNSS is a legitimate investment or we'll see selling at the bid take us back down.
Looking forward to some news sometime soon..
Yes, I see you "wrote each word" from a pre-printed list you found online. You even left the adjectives in alphabetical order as found on the link I posted.
PS: Half of those words do not pertain to Jobs. "Soft-spoken"? Please, the man was one of the MOST ARROGANT public figures I've ever come across (he had every right to be... he was Steve Jobs, afterall).
Did you just copy/paste this list of "Character Traits"?
http://www.escapepress.com/characterTraits.html
Wow... gonna have to try a little harder than that.
Also, "dead beat", is two words...
Also, don't be surprised if you see the bid being hit as some of the more pessimistic posters on this board dump their shares. They don't care about the price of the stock, or what they do to it when they sell at the bid, they just want to get out.
Same! Now its time for Black to reveal his plan for HNSS & follow through on it successfully.
Right. It's a false bounce up. Like I said.
The "dead cat" might bounce when dropped from a great height, but always returns to the ground. That's not we want to see with AAPL.
Yes.
A dead cat bounce means a rise followed by a sharp drop... I don't think you want that. What you want is a "rebound". I think we'll make up some of today's loss over the next week or so.
I don't think that chart is misleading at all. It clearly says "Cumulative iPhone Sales", which means each point on the line is the total sum of all iPhones sold up until that point.
That didn't take my engineering and math degrees to figure out. The author of that article is trying to make a story where there is none.
From Etrade:
Our custodian, DTC, automatically works with the company to get the new shares. E*TRADE doesn't have to get directly involved. Unfortunately, OTC stocks can take 4-6 weeks on average and at this time we still do not have a payment date.
Same here, also looking to either add to my JAN14 600's or start picking up APR14 calls.
Not sure why AAPL wouldn't make a bigger deal out of the release of this news though... Maybe they didn't want to have to chase the price up when buying back shares?
Hopefully Tim is going to pull the ol', "But wait, there's more" trick.
I'm following this live blog..

Same response to me.
Black responded to my email and said the TA has been authorized to distribute shares to the brokerages, and that it is the brokerages responsibility to request shares from the TA for their customers. The TA is responding to brokerage requests the same day the request is made.
I responded to Etrade asking them to make the request to the TA to get the ball rolling. Will update with info when I get it.
Seems like a lot of downward pressure being put on AAPL over the last week, holding it around the $500 mark. Has made it very hard to create any positive momentum going into the announcements.
It did, on google finance. Now it shows 493.64 as the low. Weird.
Response from ETrade said, "We are still waiting on the company to deliver the shares.".
Asked Black what the status was, but no response yet.
