Yes I believe it is exactly what I was looking for, you do good work.
So far none of the links are permitted to be used so far but I have a few ideas..
Even the Xenexheap was mentioned on that note...it is/was a privately traded company at that time. What I am trying to determine is whether it can be traded now, before/if it is going public.
Thanks so much for your post, If I learn anything I will let you know.

In search of a little help....
I used to be on this board before I got too olde and a few other reasons.
I came back to IHub today as I had a link to a message that promised to give me some into on a small company I am interested in. All I have is a message ID. And it’s not on this board. I tried a search but was told it would not work with my membership, still free....
Does anyone have membership such that they can do the search. ID is. message_id=107331960
Thanks in advance if you are able and willing to help. It’s a privately held company but I’m told the above message has some intro that might help.....
The company builds and sells robots that disinfect facilities like airports, hospitals and etc....from Covid 19 and several other maladies......

A big hello to you Bob Bliss
Only one milllion Bob. Been so long since I’ve been here I don’t even know if thiis will post. I gather this isn’t the same board it was before, what’s the scoop. I came over to IH to search for a stock and don’t know if I will find that or not, but thought I’d stop in here on the way to my task.
Best of luck on your trade. Chuck
SPX looking tirED.
Been away for five months (from the board). Looking at the SPX this morning the last ten days looks like a fifth wave ED which if true could be signaling a turndown or corrective waves next.
ED/Chuck
I'm on the rally wagon going up the mountain, BUT
I'm expecting this to break down as the path gets narrower and the wagon is going off the side......
...and, I hope I'm wrong.
Thanks jglider,
It was the second of two procedures. I had Cataract surgery three years ago. Evidently there was/is (unbeknownst to me before now) a 40% chance of the rear membrane of the cataract lens left in the eye to anchor the replacement lens to go South in a similar wave. My vision has been deteriorating for most of year and I thought it was just another body part running out of warranty. But I realized that it was more a blurring of the vision after trying stronger lens for pc work twice. Little on line research broke the code and I made appointment last week to get it examined and it was confirmed and they did the first eye on the spot. Cleared up the vision before I bedded down and very clear by morning. So the second was done yesterday morning and again this morning I have good vision in both eyes. They literally burn a hole in the membrane through the lens with a laser. Maybe they don't inform you before the first operation or we would be bugging them every time we have a floater, but I would rather have known about the possibility.
One must "read" the drafts of posts before posting for it to work for you.....
I had eye op yesterday morning before the debacle......
I had eye procedure (Laser-out patient) first thing this morning....maybe that's why I didn't see this coming and jumped the gun on upside myself.
Speaking of wrong thing to do......not the day to be half blind all day.....that was awful. I can see better this morning, but don't want to look.
Prayers going out to all being affected by MICHAEL Hurricane. Had rain most of evening NW of Atlanta.
Dollar averaged on Oct 26 Upro 55.5 calls
agreed with your view...bought UPRO Dec 57 Calls
Extended call position to include Nov.
Watching the near term position as well..
I also note TL from May and late June lows ....
..seems to touch where Friday's low occurred.....roughly speaking.
I don't know what that means, but it extends aback to the April lows as well. Maybe if we break below that TL it might mean something in that direction. How often has anyone thought that in this very long march upward.
I can't do that DD, you're not stupid at all.
Posting Ewave comments like I did without a chart for clarification is lazy and stupid on my part, but you got the gist of what I was saying/meaning at that moment. I was down in the mud again. If you view a two day chart today with 5 minute frequency you can see the wave I was speaking of at that time of the day. I have been using the x.y.z. nomenclature for long time but that doesn't make it universally understood and without the chart impossible to understand.....forgive me....I'll stop it and go back to just alerting on suspected ED's which I trust more than some of other formations of late. In fact, on that two day chart the fifth wave of that wave to Fridays low looks very much like an ED formation itself. Signaling the rise up for rest of afternoon maybe. But, it is still unclear whether we have had enough correction to get another shot to the upside now or not....we may still need to get a smaller wave up to say 2893 area (a=c) and then another shot to the downside. It's beginning to look Greek to me again, a language I don't read or speak or read or write, or count for that matter. But, 2893 would be near a phi correction of that wave down maybe.
bought 5 SPX 55.50 late Oct Calls
For a turnaround or a bounce....
Thanks DD. Sold 20 UPRO 55 Puts at 1.91 to close position.
I find us fighting way through wave 5.3.3 and this is as close as I want to sweat this out.
Entry was at 1.07 not long ago. Probably leaving a little on the table here but better than having it fall off the table this time.
Will evaluate whether to reenter or to flip to the upside.
Nine points of bounce is all my stomach will take and then we go South some more.....
That's one guess....fish well.
Enjoy your trip. Hope you stay in touch.
Now for example, I see the potential of an ED
to end this whole thing......ED2 being in process now. It is wide open on the different paths this could take at this point.
If we are about to go into a 3.3.3 we have a wide range of the depth of the correction. If we are moving into ED3 of the down move I see it somewhat more limited in the net depth of the correction.
DD, I am watching the hearing this morning but wanted to acknowledge your post.
I will confess that there are times on short term activity I go into minutia to attempt to "see a count" so to speak. In other words I refer to very short one minute charts at time.....A sample would be right now.....the downwave may have completed at end of day, the one I called a third wave and now a rebound which on a one minute chart overlaps wave 1. I suspect that we have overlap to what was wave one. From that I now suspect that wave 3 might be wave 3.1 and this bounce is wave 3.2 and then we would move, if we are indeed going South somewhat, into wave 3.3 down.
Of course I back off to longer term charts to view total picture and how it might fit into it.
That's a brief picture of a segment of analysis I do at times. Back to this hearing now..... ADDED EDIT
I have to edit this.....there are alternates that exist of course, like the one that says that's it, and we are now going to rebound with vigor. Tonite one might interpret the counts quite differently. What I described was how I sometimes do real time analysis and attempt to deduce the counts coming......I hope that does not cause anyone to roll over in their graves.
DD I like your figures...
...make that numbers. I count us in third wave down from what I saw as an overshot ED. We are in the fourth wave of wave 3. That translates to a 3.5 wave down for about 10 points as the fourth wave should be less than 5 up. Then we would get another wave 4 which should be flat in comparison to wave 2 we had already. Then we should get a 5th wave to finish this (first) move down. The 5th should be another fiver and I'd approximate between she sizes of 1 and 3. 1 was about 25 abd 3 should be about 35 points. Guves rough range of 2875 ti 2850 plus or minus on both ends.
My next question is what happens if this becomes a "thing of beauty versus a thing of pretty?" It would seem to be the case that Elliott counts and your current Hurst projections might be within some measure of agreement. I used to think if we could connect the two methods we might be able to make some money.
The waves are maddening but a flag formation...
....may be forming. The relatively sharp decline is the pole, and now we have been forming a flag/pennant. Watching for a breakout to the bottom, or for a stop, the upside.
The fiver down in flagpole encourages me to think the breakout will be to the downside but never guaranteed.
30 point fiver wave down
8 point abc up correction
As I recall next should be another five wave down...might tell us a story. Could take us back below 2900.
Been in court with daughter for all week,...
just got home now. Been tracking a little on phone on breaks but difficult. Around lunch time I sold my call position as and averaged down on the PUTS.
I have every confidence now that I did that that the market will rise exponenttially. But I still feel that was the punch through finish of the ED and gave us a new top for the moment. I'm expecting at least a meaningful correction here and now.
Just for the record, SPX is riding the bottom TL upward.
The vertical range of the run to top TL of the "channel" seems to be as much as 20-30 points, but the distance to the old high is now about 14 points and shrinking.
i hope the count is better than my corrections to the post....
UPRO 55 OCT PUTs
Hedged with PUTs on SPX at 155 MAKE THAT 155 UPRO PUTS.
Still thinking one more up wave to close out the calls....
My pipe is still lit here.....
...we may still be in an ED of sorts. Begins with lows of last Friday on the SPX around 2865 area on a ten day chart.
ED1 tops Monday open timeframe above 2885.
ED2 goes retraces most of that to low on Tuesday morning.
ED 3 would then run up to the high (pick it) Tuesday afternoon or Wednesday.
ED4 would be overlapping the ED1 high Wednesday morning or afternoon
ED5 is in process and had broken out above the upper trendline of the triangle but could have one more leg up to complete both a new high and the ED. ED3 is greater than ED1.
As I type the downmove now is breaking the Trend Line up the rising bottoms and it could be all over, or it could turn up again....it could also drop significantly to get overlap of a larger ED1 and this ED hunter will go mad and go home. Of course it could also be the corrective wave of the abc of the c wave of ED5. Wish I could still do pictures easily, been so long since I've posted one.
except no overlap for ed.
pipe dream for ED maybe..
Just for drill, possibly another quick ED formed???
That mess today could be ED1 abc up, followed by ED2 abc down, then a larger three waver to upside as in ED3, and then an abc sideways for ED4. A finishing abc for ed5 tomorrow might be in order and make things interesting....who knows.
You're kind DD, I've been on great trip....
...i just returned this evening from NC where I had a minor collision which disabled my auto and storm threat made rental cars unavailable. I finally lined up a truck this morning and finished my trip back.
I was without wifi since Thursday and busy with a retiree reunion in VA on the weekend.
Now I need to get back up to speed but it looks like market broke and then retested the Trend Lined of reducing highs. It then seemed to penetrate to downside and then retested to the upside and rapidly continued up. Not clear yet but I am still expecting another test of the highs before we get the major correction.
And the theater goes on......drama......dipsh
I sold my UPRO 55 Puts at 2.00
I flipped to UPRO 58 Calls.
I do not expect a fifth wave down to follow this but
we'll have to wait and see.
Would look like one more wave down here.
I am feeling we will not break through those levels
AND I'm always right, right? Good luck all.
Targets for SPX and UPRO
The A=C points calculate to roughly 2890 SPX and to 56.00 UPRO.
If those points are blown through then we may be in for some a larger 3rd wave perhaps followed by a 4th and 5th .
I think the stage is being set for an announcement later today but maybe slipping a bit. Pure theater going on IMHO and I hope it doesn't bite any of us today or this holiday weekend.
Interesting how it ties together and unfolds.
Looking at SPX again..
It looks to me that the ED I think finished up? this week, that seemed to break up through a long term trend line of rising tops.
Then it tested that same trend line and broke through to the downside.
Then it broke through a short term trend line of rising bottoms.
Today it tested that trend line from the bottom.
I prepped an order to sell if it broke through again, and it appears to have failed this test again...and may be heading down . Further, it appeared to me to be a clear five wave down retreat to the low and the correction today is between 50% and PHI in clean abc form.
I am thinking we are owed at minimum another five wave move to downside. All of this leading up to some kind of an announcement on the Canadian negotiations. This is "theater." IMHO.
We'll see.
Like the way you think...
...and the way you share.
Opened with a toe in the water UPRO Puts.
Oct variety.
Welcome and we will all appreciate your moderation.
I was puzzling over a short position after I typed my note and there you were volunteering. Great minds. Good luck with it.
Thanks DD
Still looks like a topping formation to me and I'm happy with the trade, much more happy than I would have been unhappy had I held for more, and it flopped this mornin.
I have historically had a bad habit of targeting a nice round number like a double or triple and hanging on for it destroys the trade.
By the way, I nominate you for assistant moderator of the board.
Looking like the ED might be completed here and we shall turn down.
I just closed out 10contracts UPRO Sep 21 '18 $53 Calls at $4.00.
Entry was at 2.20 opened 7/24.
Look at a one year chart on DJIND, SPX or NDX, all somewhat similar. That is a triangle for sure, at least to my geometric mind.
I am fretting over the Mex/Can deal and what that might do, but it could go to bottom of channel before another final break of uppper channel but I'm not chancing it this trip.
I'm flat and thinking on both sides.....
It's simpler than that.
UPRO 52.81 -1.09 -2.02% -- -- -- -- 3,460,070
SPXU 35.30 +0.69 +1.99% -- -- -- -- 3,028,846
Looking to above info for Friday's action
SPX I believe moved down about 0.71 %. The two ETFs move approximately triple that. -2.02 % and +1.99% The ETFs values though moved -1.09$$$ and 0.69$$$ .
The calls would have changed in value more than the Puts .
The main point might be that because the ETF is viewed as a Bullish or Bearish ETF, the calls and puts used actually determine whether you are taking a bullish or bearlish position. A Call is normally viewed as bullish in the underlying investment. But, a Call in a bearish ETF is in reality a bearish position in the underlying security. And the reverse is true for for Bullish ETFs.
Since I am looking for greater movement relative to my strike price, in dollars it is my view that the higher priced ETF would be providing that movement better than the other. Sometimess its the Bearish ETF that is the greater in value. Those mismatches in my opinion are created by longer periods with movement in one direction or another.
The thought and theory are only worth what you send my way. Glad to hear any other opinions. I have not formal proof. Good luck as usual.
