If one is long or wants to be, the only risk about trying to time one's entrance perfectly is that, if you miss out on the after hrs or pre-market press release, you will miss out on much of the gains (if news is positive) when market re-opens.
The other side of it is that, if it drops to .0085, do not expect the stock to suddenly make it to 10 cents in a month if good news shows up right after you perfectly time its bottom. To drop that low means dilution of such extent, most likely, that 3 or 4 cents might be the max target one can reasonably hope for.
To that end, have no idea why people have enough shares at .011, but will buy tons more if it drops another 10-20 percent. If it drops another 10-20 percent, its reasons for dropping that much might be negative enough that the upside of the stock is then lowered a good 50 percent.
Anyone who wants to be long has to hope that news of a renegotiated loan is coming soon, or that a buyout is coming soon. Accepting continued dilution is definitely not the answer, as it makes a potential 10-bagger quickly become a stock one simply hopes to make some fast food money from.
Thanks for sharing the SeekingAlpha article, which I overlooked. Its overall thesis is hopefully still intact, and hopefully we get news sooner than later on a restructuring of loans and/or some sort of acquisition offer for the company.
The dilution seemed to be cranked up a bit yesterday -- so getting the feeling that this investment will add some additional stress to one's life for a while -- but don't see worst case scenarios happening (though find it harder for the stock to reach certain price points the longer the dilution continues). Best of luck to all.
Disregard my comment. A fundamental transaction could result in either positive or negative developments for shareholders. The definition of "fundamental transaction", when Googled, spells out all the possibilities fairly succinctly (as they might relate to ICLD).
"Absent (an upcoming) fundamental transaction", Munro and the other insider will not be able to exercise the preferred shares they recently received in exchange for the monies they lent to the company.
A fundamental transaction is a buyout or a merger; it is not a bankruptcy.
Whatever the NETLAYER site means in relation to the company, the doomsday scenarios occasionally attached to it do not make sense IMO.
correction: I mean I expect the company will get acquired. The settlement helps to make a potential acquisition easier as well.
If they do not get acquired, I am surprised the stock is not getting pumped so that its (predatory) lenders can exercise all their convertible shares.
I am betting on a partnership because the recent July press release re: the conversion by insiders of some loans to company into preferred shares (that can only be exercised if company gets acquired, if I'm not mistaken) was probably not made (just) because they care for shareholders.
They want to make money, and if the company is soon acquired and their paychecks quit coming, those preferred shares will give them a healthy bonus as they consider new ventures.
Company has the same problems (the convertible debentures, etc) that it has dealt with for more than one year, and during that time, the stock has jumped tenfold on more than one occasion as well as dropped tenfold. For those seeking big risk/big reward, it's a more compelling stock than dryshippers and junk like that.
And since there is the possibility that the debt will be renegotiated soon, there remains great chance this stock will do better than many great gold plays (ATC, etc) or great biotech plays, etc., and that it may indeed recover to the point that it could get relisted on NASDAQ at some point in the next year.
Assuming loan gets renegotiated, wouldn't that be a huge positive catalyst? Also, since lenders want cash, not the company, isn't there an incentive on their end to pump stock at some point? Realize the negatives pertaining to this stock, but at some point, isn't it working against the lenders to not allow the stock to move up at this juncture?
Blue Calypso's gaming patent appears as if it may have some value now. Have no clue about its connection, if any, to Pokemon Go, but it does seem as if they foresaw the future of mobile gaming in interesting ways.
Perhaps someone is indeed trying to accumulate now -- though the large Sell at the stock's $1-mark suggests it may also just be some daytrading activity.
Definitely a puzzling stock. When it was pushed to 60 cents, it wasn't as if people were accumulating a ton, and now that it's having a great day, it seems to be doing so on as few shares as possible. Until news of landing a contract with a big company, etc, it will likely be a variation on the roulette wheel.
That said, some positive news about location-based advertising, etc.

So it appears people spent this weekend mulling over Andrew Levi's comments, and now agree that this company is a rocketship?
The transcript was the most positive, and optimistic transcript I've read from Blue Calypso. That they settled with Groupon, on terms that likely work well for both, and that they seem able to further avoid diluting shareholders, is certainly a plus.
Unlike VHC and some of the other patent plays, Blue Calypso appears to have a genuine, and genuinely growing business, and if they can become profitable this year, then they can soon start justifying a much higher market cap.
In other words, if people sell on last night's conference call, definitely expect the selling to be short-lived.
Van Eck sold over 11 million shares that it was holding in GDXJ, as Midway fell below 75 million market cap at the time they do their quarterly re-indexing (which fell on last Friday, with shares always scheduled to be dumped the week thereafter). Not sure what other miners were affected by this, but Bear Creek was on the bubble.
I posted info about the re-indexing earlier in the day, as I heard about it on Stockhouse. Sometimes, this creates a great buying opportunity the following trading day -- sometimes not.
Best of luck to all...and whatever you choose to do. One of the reasons I personally liked Midway was the unexpected humor on their website -- with the newest presentation labelled "latest and greatest" -- but the last sentence in their press release today just stunk. It's like they wanted to tank the stock themselves.
This was mentioned on Stockhouse yesterday from another investor. If true, expect either a sale or a huge transfer of shares (from one entity to another) in afterhours today. Often makes for a great buying opportunity for stocks; in the case of MDW, no clue...
Being Deleted from GDXJ Tomorrow
MDW is being deleted from the GDXJ as part of the quarterly reindexing tomorrow. Van Eck currently holds 11,579,318 shares of MDW in the GDXJ ETF which will be sold tomorrow.
There will probably be a large Market on Close imbalance on the sell side tomorrow which could drive the share price down significantly based on the average daily trading volume.

Blue Calypso hosting a conference call about its patent portfolio on Oct 8:
http://www.virtual-strategy.com/2014/10/07/blue-calypso-host-conference-call-provide-update-its-patent-portfolio#axzz3FTO8xXOL
Apologies, the person provided the link in his original email: http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/942801/000119312514337824/d787510dsc13da.htm
Think the issue has more to do with Bill Ogle than with Andrew Levi; since Chez/Merriman has been the company's primary financier/promoter, it will be interesting to see how this plays out.
Van ECk held 26,329,945 shares of BAA in its GDXJ ETF. The "dump" was due to the technical reason that BAA's market cap was under 75 million during a day of their quarterly re-indexing. Any GDXJ miner that was not valued at 75 million market cap on that day (Sept 12)
was dumped the following Friday.
Since Van ECK does not dump the shares until a week after the quarterly re-indexing event happens, this also explains why the stock has traded so poorly for these days leading up to Sept 19.
In other words, this is a buying opportunity. And if it goes down another penny or two, it's a better buying opportunity.
Agree, I loved the move of Dave Mathewson to Tanqueray. Makes that stock interesting in itself -- it's under 500,000 market cap, if I recall, but with Mathewson at the helm -- and should be a great asset to GSV if and when Mathewson succeeds there.
Plus, I like the CEO buying shares, and seemingly trying to make an effort to get this stock moving again
A $2.80 price target from Rockstone:

I am personally not used to trading speculative stocks where the insiders keep selling on good news, or the potential of a homerun year. It is possible that the continued insider selling, in other words, has kept the stock from making the move that it should have made after its last PR.
If not for the insider selling, I would assume it's being brought down for reasons of accumulation (for example, MDLNF or DRRSF, 2 other hyped Canadian stocks with lots of potential and mediocre stock action) -- but because of the insider selling, have no clue.
New press release suggests their business is becoming increasingly profitable. They have cash, are hiring, and are strengthening their portfolio too.
Apparently they've also submitted 1500 pages of documentation in defense of their patents too.
Who knows where the bottom will be -- but the upside is certainly higher than current share price.
Thought this was (possibly) entering the territory of Blue Calypso's patents:
http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2014-05-05/twitter-and-amazon-go-hashtag-shopping-and-solve-a-problem-no-one-ever-had
"Amazon.com’s priority is to remove every barrier that might keep someone from buying something online. A particularly minuscule obstacle fell on Monday as Twitter made it possible for users to add items to their Amazon shopping carts with a tweet.
Just enable the service on your Twitter (TWTR) and Amazon (AMZN) accounts, and you can add a product discussed on Twitter by replying to the tweet and adding the hashtag #amazoncart. The next time you visit Amazon, the item will be in your cart, and you can then complete the purchase."
fyi that the newest newsletter of the latest calandra recommending the selling of GSV shares (at a loss) in order to buy shares of Angkor Gold and others that Calandra is hyping at the moment. Calandra's newsletter is a fun read (and free in delayed fashion via Stockhouse or ceo.ca) though am unsure about his overall intentions. (He certainly has overhyped Bitterroot, Gran Colombia and Solvista, IMO.) Since Brent Cook has also long ago recommended the selling of GSV (when stock was more than double current share price), not personally sure what "market makers" are thinking of it anymore. I seem to have a bias toward any company whose press releases are partly about the teaching of geology. I like Colorado Resources too (they're also struggling).
If it's nonsensical for an investor to sell at these prices ("It seems nonsensical that people are selling at today's sp"), it's also nonsensical for an insider to be selling.
Anyway, I would agree, if one has faith in mgmt and its update, that it's a good time to buy more shares (if one has the funds to do so). Since neither John Calhoun or another insider has dumped more shares for over 1 day, perhaps we can read some bullishness into that.
New press release is extremely optimistic, and should lift GSV whether or not the Russia/Ukraine issues escalate.
The week's been a trainwreck so far, but I still think stock is being traded like gold miners last December. The market maker will take it down as far as possible, then it will shoot up hard and quick. Since I don't think Dippin' Dots is a raging success story right now, Fischer too has a need for CRUMBS to rebound and to stay on NASDAQ too. I think his involvement suggests there's an interest in CRUMBS franchise stores resembling the Dunkin Donuts stores -- with baked goods, coffee, and ice cream -- and at its current market cap, the potential upside just seems incredibally huge.
No one is debating this comment (" there is no way to determine if a director divestiture has any meaning") but it sure doesn't help a stock when insider selling is happening right before investors were expecting rather game-changing information that would transform NATCORE into a profitable operation.
And when insiders are selling, it's reasonable to inquire from the company as to why. I still have hopes for the company; I have less high hopes that they are going to announce some deal with a Chinese company anytime soon, though...
Currently, John Calhoun's selling activity should provide sufficient reason for concern:
Apr 3/14 Apr 2/14 Calhoun, John Direct Ownership Common Shares 10 - Disposition in the public market -5,500 $0.730
USD
Apr 2/14 Apr 1/14 Calhoun, John Direct Ownership Common Shares 10 - Disposition in the public market -26,500 $0.760
USD
Apr 1/14 Mar 31/14 Calhoun, John Direct Ownership Common Shares 10 - Disposition in the public market -35,500 $0.770
USD
Mar 31/14 Mar 28/14 Calhoun, John Direct Ownership Common Shares 10 - Disposition in the public market -40,000 $0.805
USD
Mar 28/14 Mar 27/14 Calhoun, John Direct Ownership Common Shares 10 - Disposition in the public market -10,000 $0.804
USD
The insider buys continue. Expect the stock will start to push higher once press releases on the 2014 exploration program start getting released.
If major investment companies have found Natcore, as it were, then the stock price would be dropping as they accumulate.
It doesn't explain the recent insider selling (http://canadianinsider.com/node/7?menu_tickersearch=NXT+%7C+Natcore+Technology) though, but perhaps there's a reasonable explanation for that.
Anyone have a clue why the stock is getting particularly hammered today (and on heavy volume)? Is accumulation happening... or something else??
insiders are buying (go to Canadian Insider to verify):
Mar 12/14 Mar 12/14 Awde, Jonathan Charles Timothy Direct Ownership Common Shares 10 - Acquisition in the public market 5,000 $0.760
Mar 11/14 Mar 11/14 Awde, Jonathan Charles Timothy Direct Ownership Common Shares 10 - Acquisition in the public market 3,000 $0.750
Mar 11/14 Mar 11/14 Awde, Jonathan Charles Timothy Direct Ownership Common Shares 10 - Acquisition in the public market 7,000 $0.740
Mar 11/14 Mar 4/14 Mathewson, David Direct Ownership Warrants 16 - Acquisition under a prospectus exemption 150,000 $1.00
Mar 11/14 Mar 4/14 Mathewson, David Direct Ownership Common Shares 16 - Acquisition under a prospectus exemption 300,000 $0.720
Mar 7/14 Mar 3/14 FCMI Parent Co. Direct Ownership Warrants 53 - Grant of warrants 972,222
Mar 7/14 Mar 3/14 FCMI Parent Co. Direct Ownership Common Shares 16 - Acquisition under a prospectus exemption 1,944,444 $0.720
belated thanks...
Thanks.
FYI that the other "Carlin-like" play in the Yuko, ATAC Resources, has jumped from a 60 cent stock to over $1.30 on no updates (except a good Northern Miner article, more or less).
Once everyone gets a better sense of the Railroad Project, or else simply attributes the same optimism being accorded the ATAC project, this miner should have far greater room to run than simply 80-90 cents per share.
So far, the Pinon acquisition is only helping stocks of the seller (Scorpio Gold, which had more debt than market cap before the sale).
In time, it may prove a great deal for GSV.
Anyway, continue to watch this everyday. Made little sense that I announced when I sold, but I was a bit miffed by the press release with all the retractions (which has since become a press release also used by Scopio, and others; apparently a lot of oversight over miners and their websites are taking place).
A huge, apparent sell (129000+ shares) to start after-hrs trading.
Merriman Capital actually raised its BCYP price target on Feb 21 to 70 cents per share (which equates to 20 percent of their actual valuation of the company). A poster on the Yahoo board included an excerpt from it, which is posted here for those who are curious (and my apologies if it was posted before):
Maintaining BUY Rating and increasing PT to $0.70. Our previous PT of $0.50
was based on a DCF model which leveraged conservative long-term growth projections
to show the value inherent in BCYP shares. However, our previous assumptions only
looked at settlements from Groupon (GRPN, $10.28, NR) and LivingSocial, completely
disregarding all other potential infringers, the company's operations and their place
in social-networking; thus, we're intrigued on what the value of BCYP's IP/technology
could be to major social networking players. If we examine the acquisitions listed above
it quickly becomes evident that a $1 billion price tag is a modest sum to pay if the
acquiring technology can increase the monetization rates of hundreds of millions of
social networkers. Therefore, we are using a $1 billion price tag as a starting point for
valuing BCYP. If we divide this figure by 275 million--our estimated all in share count--
we arrive at a $3.64 PT for BCYP. However, to be conservative and take into account
risks inherent in the company's ongoing litigation, we are only assigning ~20% of this
value to our PT, which leads to our 70 cent price target.
