That's a little disingenuous.
Last meger I was in there was an offering plus a reverse split that brought the shell from .0002 to .20. The RS brought the OS to 100 million with the merging company receiving 80 million, an old debt receiving close to ten, the company putting it together got 3 million and the rest was previous shareholders. Can't remember how many shares were bought in the offering but it topped out at .80. I sold at .60 was originally in at .20 presplit .0002. You never know how this will go but pretty much everyone has sold that's going to because of the RS. Now some kind of shorting especially naked shorting like what happened to NEWL is a different story but that was a scam and I don't believe this is. This whole thing depends on the money being paid back by this coming summer before the financing deal come due.
Alpine has been busted in the past. Based out of Utah. Can't remember the company but they sold millions in shares not registered.
Not even 1/10 of a percent.lol
I wouldn't say a lot of longs. What percentage sold on the announcement of the RS. Less than 10 percent. I would say most longs were not affected at all.
Most are looking for questions to fit their answer.
Good advise.
Ridiculous
No it doesn't. Especially in this field this is the norm.
People selling because of the RS are not waiting. This stock will rise post split. It might not stay but there is money to be made from this bottom where ever that ends up.
That's one way to look at it. I do believe this is what the company is shooting for.

Here is an article that somewhat covers this. It's about NITE and goes into NEWL ripoff.
Because people do buy and sell through their broker before and after hours.
So is it safe to say the possible RS is put in place in case they can not pay off the bridge loan come summer of 19?
Only 7000 shares sold in 2 hours.
Everyone holding for NASDAQ.
See how easy that was.
I can think of many reasons good
and bad. What I can't figure out is
if this is so bad why you keep hanging around.
If the market doesn't care why do you? What is the difference between you and the market?
What price does it have to go down to for the company to all of a sudden become the next great thing? This back and forth will make you dizzy.
Because they sold.
Open the day with ask slapping. As soon as .59s are about gone dbox drops the ask. Just another day in FUSz land.
Spoke to someone I know that is a software engineer with a fortune 500 company. Was telling him about FUSz and the revenue being practically the same the last two quarters. First thing he said was if he had to guess it was probably due to updates in the product. He said that was pretty common. Otherwise you would have seen either a rise in revenue or a fall if it was based on wether it was any good. This was without me saying anything about v1 or v2.
Right at 1 million share bought in the last hour in block buys. Anyone know why all of a sudden.
That's sad.
That's what I'm looking for. If we can close above .62.
Seems to happen often.
Now that was funny.
I agree but I would say he has a better chance than most even if it's not great Depending how things go moving forward. Good things need to happen.
Nobody was caught up. This doesn't sound like someone caught in.
Bill Ackman, billionaire hedge fund manager, sees a bright future ahead for Fannie Mae (NASDAQOTH:FNMA) and Freddie Mac (NASDAQOTH:FMCC) stock. In fact, Ackman has purchased 115.6 million and 63.5 million shares, respectively, of the companies.
My point is if they want to buy being on otc isn't stopping them.

Could go on and on. Being on the OTC doesn't stop anyone
Plenty of OTC companies have institutional investors.
You have no idea why anyone left. Turnover is a problem for a tech companies. You may be right or you may not but a guess and nothing more. Why spend time on this if it's so bad. Every stock I sell I never hang around unless I have a reason.

SAP unveils C/4HANA, aims to revamp CRM, leverage its ERP base
SAP outlined the details behind its CRM push, which is aimed squarely at Salesforce and its various clouds.

SAP is planning to take on Salesforce on multiple fronts as it aims to tie its back-end financial software to front-office and redefine customer relationship management. SAP has assembled the CRM parts and now the challenge will be putting them together.
At Sapphire Now, SAP CEO Bill McDermott outlined a suite called SAP C/4HANA, which incorporates the acquisitions of Hybris, Gigya and Callidus Cloud to cover consumer data, marketing, commerce, sales and customer services.
And to add to its field service capabilities, SAP bought Coresystems, a Swiss company that uses AI and crowd sourcing to manage field service technicians. Coresystems will become part of SAP's Service Cloud.
SAP launches HANA Data Management Suite
McDermott cited the need to revamp "legacy CRM systems" that revolve around sales. What's notable about McDermott's phrase is that SAP -- along with Oracle's Siebel Systems -- were the legacy CRM apps upended by Salesforce. Now SAP is trying to paint Salesforce into a legacy corner.
SAP's CEO, who foreshadowed SAP's CRM plans on the company's most recent earnings call, noted the company "was the last to accept the status quo of CRM and is now first to change it. That's a guarantee."

SAP CEO Bill McDermott wants to reinvent CRM.
The heady talk from McDermott when it came to CRM revolves around providing one view of the customer. By aligning and integrating SAP's core strength -- supply chain and financials on top of an in-memory database -- with CRM the company aims to differentiate. SAP's secret sauce will be machine learning, SAP Leonardo and integration with SAP S/4HANA, its ERP suite that has about 8,300 customers. Speaking during his keynote, McDermott said.
There is a direct correlation behind the size of the problems we solve and our existence and relevance. Our greatest validation is our customers success.

McDermott argued that CRM has to change. "We have moved from 360 degree view of sales automation where some companies focus to 360 degree view of the actual customer," said McDermott. The idea is that the supply chain and transactional data will be connected to the customer record and commerce in any channel on top of SAP Cloud Platform.

Here's the catch: Salesforce has already made big strides becoming that relationship operating system and continues to acquire and grow. Meanwhile, Salesforce's latest quarter highlights the strong demand the company is seeing.
SAP's C/HANA portfolio includes SAP's marketing, commerce, service and customer data and sales clouds. SAP Sales Cloud unites Hybris Cloud for Customer, Hybris Revenue Cloud and CallidusCloud. SAP has consolidated these front-office functions and cloud based CRM efforts under a customer experience management suite.
According to Ray Wang, principal of Constellation Research, SAP has a CRM installed base due to bundling the application with its ERP tools. However, customers are also buying Salesforce even if SAP is running the financials and back office. The two CRM leaders in Wang's view are Salesforce and Microsoft in terms of users. Oracle also has a large installed base.
Add it up and SAP's CRM plans may be more about keeping itself in the loop with customers and gaining enough mind share with enterprises. SAP's Service Cloud is solid, said Wang. "SAP is saying that it is not ready to cede the market to Salesforce," he said. "SAP has a base there and there are Hybris commerce customers that may look to SAP for marketing."

SAP is also looking to shift the CRM conversation from managing sales to gaining productivity and return on investment.
What's unclear at this point is how SAP will be able to blend its various moving parts and technologies into a coherent suite. "Putting it all together will take a lot of work," said Wang. "SAP will have to get to a level of a common UI." He added that SAP's Fiori design language has turned out better than expected and can bridge gaps between the applications. Here's a screenshot:

SELLING SAP C4/HANA
To date, SAP's cloud strategy has been fairly straightforward: Acquire companies with installed bases and then cross-sell to bring down customer acquisition costs. Whether it's more recent purchases such as Callidus, Concur or Gigya or older ones like SuccessFactors or Ariba, SAP has mastered the cross-sell and wallet share momentum.
But if SAP is going to become a CRM player with a new customer-first e-commerce spin the company will have to branch out into playing small ball. SAP has historically been about large enterprise deals, but the software market is more direct and land and expand.

Enter Bertram Schulte, chief digital officer of SAP. At SapphireNow, SAP outlined plans to make SAP.com transactional. Schulte's team of 100 people has a simple mission: Simplify the buying process for customers.
Today, customers and partners buy SAP applications and the back-and-fort with contracts, procurement and fulfillment can take weeks, explained Schulte. Adding 10 more users and an extension module goes through a similar process.
SAP.com is now aiming to handle those transactions. "We are establishing the digital channel and it won't be a parallel universe to field sales, but an augmentation," he said. "There will be channel parity."
As a result, the new SAP.com should facilitate more subscriptions over time. "This is also a cultural effort. In big deal scenarios, we don't rely on scalable no touch efforts. We need to think about trial to buy and retention. It's a land and expand way to think about it."
Schulte said that SAP is farther along than it initially thought it would be when the digital initiative launched. While the digital sales efforts may not be a direct fit with C/4HANA, the plan is worth noting. If SAP is really going to challenge Salesforce in CRM it is going to have to play small ball and get some folks to try out its software on the side.
THE C/4HANA, S4/HANA PROMISE
Should SAP's C/4HANA really get traction it's likely to be with customers that have already standardized on S4/HANA ERP as a platform.
The move to launch C/4HANA also illustrates how enterprise software vendors are going for platform plays across multiple functions. If successful, SAP's efforts will rhyme with what Microsoft is doing with Microsoft 365. Think enterprise software buffet.

But first, those S4/HANA standardization efforts need to pick up. To that end, Accenture announced at SapphireNow that it has rolled S/4HANA out broadly to 15,000 users. According to Dan Kirner, Accenture's deputy CIO, S/4HANA was coupled with Microsoft Azure to support diverse units, add real-time analytics and financial reporting, integrating mergers and acquisitions and being able to add SAP's new technologies onto the S/4HANA base.
Enterprises learning to love cloud lock-in too: Is it different this time?
That last point is critical if C/4HANA is going to be a big success. Accenture, a key SAP systems integration and consulting partner, runs on SAP across the company. "The whole ERP market is moving that way (to a platform)," said Kirner. "We look at SAP as an overall suite whether it's finance, SuccessFactors, Ariba or Concur."
Accenture took a year to fully roll out S/4HANA and it's among the first companies of its size to complete an implementation on S/4HANA and Azure.
Those early S/4HANA customers are going to be an initial target customer base for C/4HANA. It remains to be seen whether SAP's CRM efforts expand beyond its installed base. The company, of course, is optimistic.
"We believe C/4HANA is very differentiated and in line with what modern enterprises are thinking of today when it comes to customer experiences," said Alex Atzberger, president of SAP Hybris. "We don't believe our customers have seen SAP as a CRM choice, but we're now going all-in on CRM again."

One of the few stocks where hitting the ask brings it down five percent.
I get what you are saying and agree if something was complete. There are reasons to go into a quite period though if something is in the works but not completed. Here is one example.
In light of the recent speculations regarding a potential Humana acquisition, the insurer issued an 8-K filing Monday to relay that it will enter a quiet period because it's not "company policy to comment on rumors or speculation regarding possible merger activity."
Public companies aren't required to enter quiet periods, as the Wall Street Journal pointed out. But many companies cite securities laws as a reason for going silent the weeks leading up to the release of earnings reports. Humana stated that it will address 2015 earnings during its second quarter earnings conference call, scheduled for July 29.
