BS! That probably accounts for the volume surge on Thursday and why we are back below 1.20 on Friday
Finally.... we see strong buying!!!!!!!!!!!! Someone is definately building a position.
Per your theory... can you explain how the 1.2 million share trade that went off @ $1 without dropping the price works if their is no liquidity?
Say your wish comes true and there are 50 million tradable shares. How does that change anything?
Since all of you seem to think that more shares outstanding creates stability. How many shares do you need for that to happen?
So.... you are assuming that a stock with 10 billion shares has more players? Shares dont trade themselves.
You may not be able to sell the 60K at $1, but I guarantee you throw a market order out for 60K and it will execute. Thats liquid! Not getting the $1 you may want is a result of low demand, not low liquidity.
Adding more shares to the float will not add more players.
Like I said yesterday... there is not a liquidity problem there is a demand problem.
Laugh all you want. The point I am trying to make is that this stock does not have a problem with the number of shares outstanding. It has a problem with people wanting to buy it.
Lets be honest here, the people that own these shares are holding onto them and possibly buying more. The ones daytrading are creating the noise and those that are shorting have been very successful. The moment this is an attractive buy, the price will move quick due to the low number of shares. Until then, we will continue down.
What I mean by the quote you find so funny is: The depth of orders has nothing to do with the number of shares outstanding and everything to do with interest in the stock.
Look at the level II quotes at any given time. You only have 3-4 orders on either side that are not market makers. That is not due to the low float!
Even the market makers have a $0.40 spread on their orders.
I am not referring to the $0.10 & $0.20 moves. This stock has been on a consistent downward slide for over a year. The movements you are using as examples have nothing to do with liquidity and everything to do with interest in this stock. There are stocks with 500 million shares outstanding that will have movements like that because there are only a few people trading them.
I hate to say this, but if you add liquidity at this point we will be back to $0.05 in no time. The depth of orders is not always correlated to the liquidity of a stock.
I will have to disagree. The low float is going to be your friend if/when people start buying. Demand will drive the price higher and with fewer shares people will be willing to pay more for the shares they want. The price movements will be substantial just as they are now to the downside with no one wanting to buy.
What everyone here is looking for is the same price movement to the upside as we have had to the downside! Adding liquidity is not going to generate buying. Revenue will generate buying.
Falling knife!
They have done everything except get users! I am not against the company, they are on the right path. I am only saying (to the newbies on the board) don't get too excited yet. They have a lot to prove. Just as the folks that bought a year ago, you all need to be mindful they have almost no cash flow and need to issue shares to finance their operations which will further dilute the value. If they cannot generate some revenue soon to prove this is a viable business model they will continue to issue new shares and we will be back at $0.05. The longer they take to implement their products the more opportunity there is for competition.
They have said their service is live before, but every quarterly report we see NO revenue from VOD services. 18.2 million households have access to the service. How many of those households actually have a box that can provide the service? And, how many of those households have actually purchased a movie. According to a recent press release, they have been beta testing their service so we should see revenues on the 4Q report. If we don't, it will be interesting to see if they can get new investors to fund their "Administrative Expenses" for the next quarter.
Everyone new to this board needs to keep in mind the reality of this deal! They have been signing up cable companies for 2 years. That does not mean people are actually going to pay for their service. Every new press release says the full suite of offerings is going live next quarter (they have been saying this for a over a year). I am starting to wonder if it's ever going live or if they are even close to going live.
Jiaflix is a very real threat to YOD. If YOD does not get their s*** together soon, both Jiaflix and Netflix will take a majority of the streaming business from YOD.
YOD made a presentation this morning in New York to a group of potential investors. Following the presentation, YOD immediately filed an 8K with the SEC along with the slideshow of the presentation. Take a look at exhibit 99.1. The link is below.

The SC/13G shows that Fidelity increased their position in YOD. I am assuming they took part in the most recent round of financing. Fidelity increased their holdings from 984K shares (9.4%) to 1.16M shares (10.74%)
FYI......
The YOD website now has the "YOU Cinema on Demand" and "CHC Cinema on Demand" tabs activated. They previously had coming soon, but are now live.

YOU On Demand Joins Russell Microcap Index
Last update: 6/26/2012 9:00:00 AMNEW YORK, June 26, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- YOU On Demand Holdings, Inc. (YOD), China's leading national Pay-Per-View (PPV) and Video On Demand (VOD) platform, announced today that it has joined the Russell Microcap® Index following Russell Investments reconstitution of its family of U.S. indexes. A full and final membership list is available at Membership in the Russell Microcap Index, which remains in place for one year, means automatic inclusion in the appropriate growth and value style indexes. Russell determines membership for its equity indexes primarily by objective, market-capitalization rankings and style attributes. Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for both passive and active investment strategies. In the institutional marketplace, an industry-leading $3.9 trillion in assets currently are benchmarked to them. Russell calculates more than 80,000 benchmarks daily covering approximately 98 percent of the investable market globally, 83 countries and more than 10,000 securities. Annual reconstitution of Russell Indexes captures the 4,000 largest U.S. stocks as of the end of May, ranking them by total market capitalization to create the Russell 3000® Index and Russell Microcap Index. These investment tools originated from Russell's multi-manager investment business in the early 1980s when the company saw the need for a more objective, market-driven set of benchmarks in order to evaluate outside investment managers.
Hopefully they can make it to the final list. This list of additions will be updated 2 more times before the final is issued on 6/25. When a stock is added to an index it inherently adds shareholders such as mutual funds/etf's that are benchmarked to that index. This will ultimately move the price up temporarily since the funds are forced to buy shares as they reallocate to match the index. With that said, this scenario is more common to stocks that are added to larger indexes (i.e. S&P, Russell 2K) since there are more funds that track those indexes.

Not sure if you have seen this yet, but take a look at the link below and make sure you scroll the right to see everything. It seems one of the new board members is quite the marketing guru.

I agree with stan. the uplisting is not enough. It will bring in a few new players and hopefully prop the price up in the near term. We still have a long way to go. However, I will be a buyer under $5.
I am sure they somehow bought @ $3.75 due to their expertise even though it never hit $3.75.
It may jump and then settle back down to the $5 range. There are alot of people that buy on the uplisting and sell the next day. I wouldn't get to excited just yet. The real upside is micro & small cap mutual funds can now buy!
You should call the producer from Mad Money today and see if they will discuss prior to the debut tomorrow

I would say yes
DJFLEM.... when this thing is uplisted or we have definitive confirmation regarding the uplisting, you need to get on the phone to those wackos at Mad Money. I am not a fan of Jim Cramer, but it can't hurt.
Just an FYI.. The form 8-A12B is typically what is filed just prior to a stock listing or IPO. We may seen an uplisting within the next week.

From my understanding they would only need to disclose a position is they own over a certain % of the stock. Also, I doubt they would invest directly under their name. Most likely it would be through a trust or llc.
Last week a very successful Micro Cap & Small Cap hedge fund called Kennedy Capital disclosed a 78,000 share position in CBBD on their Q1 holdings report.
