at least you now have an option to sell a few for profit :) Always nice when that happens to one sitting in your pile that has dropped. I got lots of those for sure
nt_ci sold 20% and got my $ out in case its a one day thing. Still holding 80% to see what happens...
lol, and what a cluster that one has become...could end well though.
Yeah, saw that too. I had a bid in but the .0035's started to go so I grabbed .004 just in case. These are the kind that can explode with a little vol. L2 does appear to be thin...
Got those .004's, interesting one. Appears that it could go big....
joined the party today and grabbed a small starter with those .20's
There has been some steady quiet accumulation for several months, hoping we get that run soon. Like you said, this would be a good time for a Flu stock to go
I'd say that qualifies ;)
amazing call on STOA, well done
Joined you on st_dr today. Didn't get much but it could be an interesting one though. g/l
More games...that was my bid today at .0362 and those shares certainly didn't end up in my account.

The m100 Smart glasses are their new big venture. The m100 has received quite of bit of press from the likes of CNET and Engadget among others. Here is the link to the m100 Information sheet from the company's website: m100. Most indications suggest that the m100 will be priced at or below $500. It will be interesting to see if Vuzix's showing at next weeks CES will further propel the pps. Hard to say... One CNBC reporter suggests it might be a hit at the show: http://my.news.yahoo.com/five-hot-gadgets-coming-years-154431331.html
The most recent press release was centered around the release of the new m100 deveolpers SDK which runs about $999. I like the idea of them opening development of content to everyone. This could really be a key to establishing themselves as the leader in this area especially because they will be beating their main competition, Google Glass, to the marketplace.

Interview from 2010 with Paul Travers:
Not exactly sure, gonna be doing a lot more DD tonight. Bought mostly on todays action and a little research, time to learn a bit more about this.
Good size bid at .12 on VUZI now...
Fwiw, it was also mentioned in a CNBC article about this years CES:
http://my.news.yahoo.com/five-hot-gadgets-coming-years-154431331.html
Grabbed a few today.
FWIW, Scottrade is allowing online orders again with the new symbol RAFA. One hurdle down, now for those pesky JAQ shares to be converted and we will be all good.
I didn't call today. I figured that I would wait a few days to see if it gets resolved. My account now shows my original shares from JAQC again and they have a Market Value so it is back to "normal" since the 1:1 announcement. When I have called in the past with regards to these kinds of stocks, they aren't really much help anyway. Lots of shoulder shrugging and "I'll have to call someone and get back to you".
I'm with ya there. Even though my average is about .15, .30 ain't gonna cut it. Especially with current pps being .94 and the potential being much much higher than that. My account is now showing a Market Value on my old JAQC shares so hopefully this is just a way to account for things during the transition. We shall see.
Yeah I'm not exactly sure whats going on with it. It does show the funds in "Total Cash Balance" but not in the "Funds Available for Trading" so we'll see how it shakes out. Also, they won't let me put an order in for APKN online anymore.
Same thing here in my Scottrade. My JAQC shares are still shown but now with a value 0 and the equivalent of .30 a share in cash in my account...odd
Agreed. One thing I have learned is to never believe the story completely. There are always unforeseen things that come up when you trade these types of plays. Just have to put a bet down that you are willing to lose and see what happens.
I hear ya
Got in early on a possible huge RM--->enter APKN out of the blue--->its ok, we will get 1:1 shares of our JAQC---->maybe a problem issuing those shares---->????? :)
I am still feeling alright about everything. I'm guessing it gets resolved. I am planning on buying more here as shares are issued and loosen up a bit. Best of luck to us...
Thanks BB, its never straight forward is it
Wasn't concerned about the whacks either but this new info sure gets my attention. Where did you hear this about DTC?
I'm sure hoping you're right Brother, that chart works just fine for me :)
I'll randomly throw buy orders in there but they are never filled, nice grab. Holding a similar average. As for APK/JAQ, I think there may be an opportunity to add as people's shares are delivered and they take profits. Got some lower bids in there as well.
Is all of that zp-cm you today? Was wondering what was going on there
I sure like this part:
I was so close to selling, really glad I didn't. Knew I should have bought some APKN a while back but never did. I would be double happy today. Well done to those that did. Can't wait to see how this all ends up...

Scottrade won't let me do it online and they let me buy just about anything. If I have to call an order in, I usually hold off. Definitely crossed my mind though.
I hear ya, looking at that volume and trading for October on APKN made me a little sick to my stomach. Feeling like we may have been backdoored on this one. I haven't sold any yet either but kicking myself for not trimming my position when it hit around .90
Just when you thought you had seen it all....
Not a bad idea....I can't decide what to do on this one though. Just when you think you have something figured out, it zigs when it should zag. Never a dull moment trading the pennies :)
Wow, talk about a curve ball! Looked to see if Scottrade would let me buy APKN but it said you had to phone in to trade it. Should be really interesting to see what the pps is of both JAQC and APKN when this all settles out. Thanks for bringing this to our attention Big Brother.
Agreed, simply on the fact that the upside here is so enormous IF this thing is legit. Now if only the company would help to remove some of the 'if' from the equation.... Until then, I can't do much but sit back and watch it unfold. Best of luck to everyone here.
Always fun to try and sift out people motivations for what they post on a message board :) It is intriguing nonetheless. This particular stock is so interesting (and potentially lucrative) and I have plenty of patience to wait it out but the ways things are being handled sure doesn't scream multi-million dollar r/m.
It sure seems that way, doesn't quite pass the smell test. Hope I'm wrong. If true, he would be a tremendous asset
Interesting, when he first took over I asked Mr. Maye about a potential partnering with Home Creek as I saw he was the head of both. He seemed surprised by the idea but said he was open to the possibility in the future
Very little, I had a good line of communication going with Mr. Maye for a while but he hasn't responded to any recent emails.
