Not everyone is limited. I can post as much as I want.

iHub sometimes imposes posting restrictions if posters are spamming.

In other words, you want the CEO to subsidize the company by offering a below-market rent.

That's not a strong business model.

That said, I would prefer the company not be renting space from the CEO.

>>4. Basically pee or get of the pot….

Personally, I was hoping they had something more substantial in mind...

A better question is "do they care?"

It is the "Breakout Boards List", not the "Post volume broke out last week" list.

I think the "breakout boards" formula has something to do with the CHANGE in post volume, not the level of post volume. That makes more sense, and would explain why, after jumping to a higher level of daily posts and then holding at or near that level, VDRM hit the breakout boards list but is no longer on it.

"Non-accelerated" certainly describes VDRM in many ways...

The table stakes for shells is now the $100MM it takes to IPO a new SPAC.

One more thing on these forced sales - it appears to me that when the margin department forces a sale to meet a margin call, the DO NOT have to go out through level 2 (to get the best bid) to do so.

I have had several stink bids filled at Schwab where my bid price was actually lower than the price published on level 2 at the time. From this I can only surmise that the margin department can (and does) go to open buy orders within their own customer base when doing a "sell at market" on these dumps without having to market the order through level 2.

Perhaps someone who has worked in the margin department at a brokerage could provide more color on this, but that has been my actual experience.

Or, even simpler, he does not create a separate account and just mentally keeps separate portfolios. If he then goes under his margin requirement and does not provide new funds or sell securities to meet it, his broker will do that for him, starting "from the bottom of the portfolio". This means pink sheets first, then the rest of otc, etc.

When a broker does these forced sales, they don't wait for a good price, they just hit the bid, even if it is ridiculously low and there is a big spread. This is why you often see pink/otc stocks trade at a ridiculously low price right at the open, particularly on Mondays (especially the Mondays after monthly options expiration) and on the first trading day of the month. Many brokers will let the margin call slide until the end of the week or month, but then enforce it first thing in the new week or new month.

A consequence of this is that you can sometimes get a fill on a really stinky GTC stink bid right at the open on those days.

Perhaps your weekly updates, and final congratulatory note, should mention who's in second place (behind KnowledgeIsKing).

You are preaching to the choir. I already own some shares.

I doubt it. AGSI is an otc stock that not many people know about and fewer people care about.

There is good potential imho but, like most little otcs, the vast majority of people will wait to see the promise come out in the financials (which is a pretty smart tactic in most cases).

If you are going to be "early" on an otc company, ya gotta be patient.

Sure doesn't provide any urgency to cover, if someone actually was short. I doubt there are a lot of AGSI shorts who read this board.

Because APSI is an otc stock with little interest and only 4500 shares (about $1200 worth) volume today. In other words, because no one really cares.

Well, we all hope something is indeed imminent. Yet we still are waiting, so it is legit for a poster to say they are losing patience.

Well, goodie for you. I am glad you think you are so special.

Anybody. Not just on the GSPI board here, but on any stock board on iHub, ST, etc.

People who take on a name with the symbol in it don't offer balanced commentary - in effect they are single-issue voters (always dangerous). You can't check other boards to see what they post there and whether they are consistent, as people with those handles always post only on that company's board.

There is also often a pretension of authority regarding the company that simply has not been earned and is not warranted.

Other things equal, I am generally very wary of any poster that puts a company symbol in their handle.

Is that better or worse than an exciting otc ticker run by clowns?

Perhaps you can help me with the lingo here. I don't know much about the transport and logistics industry.

What is a "freight bid"? To me, as a layman, a "bid" sounds squishier than a contract or a sale. Does the term mean something more concrete within the industry?

TIA

Share lock up not Sherlock up! Stupid voice to text

Yeah, but I am not holding my breath.

I’m interested to see what they have to say as to what the reasons for the lock up would be. It may have something to do with the fact that they are building a small conglomerate and a lock up. Might make it easier to acquire new companies for shares as the principles of those companies would have some assurance that previous IL US insiders would not be dumping and reducing the value of the shares given out for the new company.

The prospective benefit of a Sherlock up is that if all the insiders and major holders agreed to it, that would give some assurance to retail that there wasn’t going to be a big dump

I am concerned about lack of liquidity during the share lock up.

I currently own both ILUS and QIND, but I am wondering whether I should revisit that.

In particular, it seems like QIND will be more visible and more liquid, and I have concerns about having my funds trapped in ILUS if there is a share lockup like they are suggesting.

I am considering adding to either or both, or maybe selling ILUS to focus on QIND.

Thoughts?

That's a good update.

In that case, why not take a dump onto an XCPL stock certificate?

CBOE will open up May options the Monday after March options expire - that would be Monday 3/20/23. Generally, for stocks with monthly options like LWLG, there will be options for the next two expiry dates plus the next couple quarterly dates (June and September) plus the next two January expiry date for LEAPs.

I would agree that the open interest hasn't changed much since late last year, which makes sense since LWLG has not generated any significant news since then that would motivate someone to buy or sell an option.

As others have mentioned, linking your company's operational calendar to FINRA developments is a recipe for delay and disappointment. Doubt they would do that.

Been watching a long time.

Maybe there were too many people trolling them and demanding that something finally happen

That $56M asset sale is almost twice as big as the market cap was at the close Las Friday.

The stock may well be a P.O.S., no argument there, but Patrick did not turn your $30K into $1300. YOU did.

Right - I consider it to be like selling risk in alphabet soup futures. I doubt the value of alphabet soup (whatever ticker) will go down 50% by January, and it might just appreciate.

Thanks. I did the buy-write on WSG only because of the extremely high option premium. I know nothing about WGS itself.

Anyone know anything about WSGWW?

I just did a buy-write on WSG (bought common at .49, sold the Jan 1.00 calls for .26 - seems like a really high premium for a call that is out of the money by 100%). Anyway, poked around a little and saw that WSG has WSGWW warrants expiring in 2026.

I think "supposedly" sums up the reason people are not scooping up shares. There is still a lot of doubt that MVNT is for real, in addition to the considerable uncertainty as to whether/when MVNT will elevate its profile.

Objectively, volume today is already twice the normal daily average. I would agree that this qualifies as unusual. As to what is behind the volume, your guess is as good as mine.

Moose - while I think there is little likelihood that the presence of this jet in the US signals interest in AUPH by Novartis, there is some precedent.

Back in the day (1984 - before the internet, when dinosaurs ruled the earth), there was an article (WSJ?) about how one astute investor made a windfall exactly this way.

T. Boone Pickens had offered $72 per share for Gulf Oil. After some bluster about wanting to stay independent, it became clear that Gulf was going to have to sell out, and the only question remaining was whether a better bid would emerge from a "White Knight". The investor was sitting in a plane at the Pittsburgh (Gulf HQ) airport and saw a SoCal (predecessor company to Chevron) corporate jet there on the tarmac. Taking a flier, the guy bought a bunch of GO call options and profited handsomely when SoCal offered $80 per share a couple days later.

So - while unlikely, it can happen.
