Thought "bluebird50" had joined us, GUYS. . .hey, he's a good one, I promise!!!
Well. . .they're still HERE, for sure. . .it just may be they're "putting emphasis" elsewhere. . .I guarantee you, WHERE BIGGER MONEY IS to be made (probably). If PHIL goes up. . .they'll try to outwit us AGAIN, I promise!! Deviant!
Yeah, Tonloc, I agree with you. . .don't like 'tempestuous changes,' especially those against us. But. . .unfortunately, sentiments change inside & outside the market hours, much to our chagrin!!
Brokers do some trades (between themselves--as I understand it) pre-market. . .not all, but some do! You nor I, retail investors generally cannot.
Some do trade, during certain "off-hour," with certain time limits--pre-morning or aft-hours till 7 p.m (8 p.m. eastern).. . .but no pinkies, only NASDAQ & other major exchanges (NY & American). Your brokerage secures certain paperwork (from you) before you can trade pre-morning or "aft hours."
Somebody adjust/correct me, if I missed it!!
As a Vietnam veteran myself, I certainly feel confirmed too about Henry's dedication. . .I served in Binh Touy and Vinh Long, both a short distance from Can Tho, would give a gold tooth to return and see all the goings-on AFTER the diamond exchange is completed!! (Too old to do that, however)!
I think he will hold true to all the new things starting up or ongoing. . .chief of which (to me) is to protect our value (during these rather turbulent present times).
I hear you, Kenny. . .like I said, let's hope he is serious!!
Hey 808. . .it's pure orchestrated mechanics. . .nothing (or very little) to do with PHIL except as $$$$ applies to the equation, flipping, shorting & the MM activities. . .their chance/opportunity to gain some "bucks" That's all. And in the case of the MM's, flat-out manipulation (illegal-type). So the analysis of co. spirit/business practices is well in-hand. I just abhor all these other dubius events/happenings. . .and the SEC, complicit as per norm!!
Well. . .you know, northern, AS A GENERAL RULE. . .the CEO appearing (on any of these little conferences), that day the co. stock tanks--generally speaking--I've seen it time-and-again, virtually ALWAYS HAPPENS!! That's why I'm always "skeered" when he makes that overture. . .to go public with that explanation or panel discussion. . .happens everytime!! Not complaining. . .just a fact, call it "evil news reporting," or whatever!
Late night bear attack. . .thought you were in bed by now. Go PHIL!!
Good deal!!
Most any CEO talks "a good game" regarding "shareholder value" and enhancing it. But truly few really mean it. It seems "other pressing matters" get in the way of effectuating such when the time comes about for this. Let's hope Henry is "serious."
Thanks again. . .I had earlier (#70274) made a similar post. . .thought perhaps you read it. . .your recent post mirrored what I earlier posted (with 70274). We shall all see together a bit later. Enjoy all your informational posts!
Your account, Feldan, is certainly meritorious with this post. I am only saying AT A NEAR POINT, HOPEFULLY--and as shareholders--we deserve to know the 'bottom line' on sub-company statements as to the worth/income of these entities. . .as a matter of fact, legally--to be current--they have to report such. Since I've been around, there have not been reported figures that one is aware of, only "word of mouth." I'm not activist oriented. . .just desiring to see the HARD FACTS/FIGURES of HOW WE'RE DOING financially. And one presumes that is coming about soon and in good detail.
Oh it is bear. . .and the way they continuously "stack the ask" throughout the day. . .all illegal. Some say the new changes forthcoming will curb some of their antics. I have no such confidence. . .it's all a pure shame, what they do. . .and the SEC takes little or no action on our complaints. We need to keep filing those,however!
All the talk about these quarterlies and their implications and indications of revenue (of Vinafilm in particular). Why do we have to wait for reports. . .our fathers (specifically H. Fahman) 'right now' know--within tolerance-- what Vinafilm's monthly/quarterly revenues are. Why aren't we a little more transparent than we are?? Really, these heads know what CLOSE inklings of income are! We're putting all the emphasis right now on reports when the facts are basically known already. I, for one shareholder would like to know Mr. CEO what they are. . .we are far too clandestine with these FACTS as I view things. . .almost teetering on covering them up!! Two-years' ago income is not present-day earnings! Other ACCURATE earnings should be put forth too. . .all the subs, as far as that is concerned!
The board needs your input, Feldan; we 'preciate it, Pal!
They need to have "something to say" different than the NORM. . .in addition thereto, not stating the average or mundane.
They come out cheerleading the company and mostly (generally all) about the past. Difference is the public/market wants to know WHAT THEY'RE ACCOMPLISHING (specific terms), INNOVATION and HOW ALL IS ADVANTAGEOUSLY AFFECTING THEIR BOTTOM LINE. . .all of which is not easy to "hem up" (I realize) in a single presentation. BUT the average, normal or mundane will getcha what we got today, as shareholders, a good whipping!!!
This whole area (a public presentation) is truly tricky, when you get right down to it. WHY do you think MOST PRESIDENTS' acceptance/notoriety plummets when they do press conferences? Same thing with a CEO (and us as stock shareholders)!!
No, not current until INTO JULY. . .IMHO!
Looks like I'm going to be forced now to SET UP PAYMENTS on it (the Lambo)!
How much you down today, flipper?? Went against you, didn't it?
DOES ANYBODY have info on any further push-back of the APR dividends?? I have not seen any thus far!
I feel confident it will rebound too. I didn't sell, still got my shares, they're not trip-valued though!
I've seen it time and again. . .CEO talks publicly at some little conference rally. . .stock tanks (I'm sure there have been exceptions too), but such has been my experience. I always WORRY when head man is staging a talk of some kind!
I've observed other stocks: SRNE, ENZC where the CO. CEO goes/presents at a little conference. . .the bottom literally falls out on shareprice, that day. It really does. . .mm's/others paint a picture of confusing statements, not enough information, etc., (nothing at all wrong in reality or has changed), but they make it out to be such. . .big bold lies by all shorting or the mm's (and their posters)! Yes, it can happened. . .has happened again here, today.
Is this thing gonna come back ANY thid afternoon??
I do too, brother. . .AND in getting in that posture--philthy rich--let's enjoy it certainly. . .but might we do the Samaritan deed in a form of helping other far-less fortunate ones, the sickly, the meager certainly or else other ones (or entities) who could stand a helping hand!??
O.K., Big Guy, I gotcha. . .just trying to understand/recognize a lot of different Phil viewpoints. . .long-run for me! Go PHIL. . .Bless You!
Yep. . .he's that kind of man alright!
Me too, ka ching!!
Hey, bud. . .sometimes dealing with these ruthless market-makers and extreme shorters. . .none of us ARE PROS!!
Good post, sircoggs. . .agree with your theory 100%. . .that's basically my outlook as well!!
I respectfully disagree with you. . .there are all kinds OUT THERE, perhaps nothing greatly new, but quite a bit for new ones perhaps tuning in to see what PHIL is all about, and all the subsidiaries, especially the new Asian Diamond Exchange going into operation now. . .yes, quite a bit for new investors to consider. You've heard about these new operations. . .a lot of others HAVE NOT. The ADE is quite dynamic and will produce great income for PHIL.
Yes, Henry made quite a good talk in my personal view!! The 10-K filing later today will greatly help our posture!
Yeah. . .that's exactly what it is. . .oh, these guys are dirty. . .pure dirty!!
Outstanding day for newbies to tune in and BUY, BUY, BUY into very possible life-changing stock. Go PHIL!
Any particular reason for our going down. . .other than the normal culprits??!! He made a wonderful an right-on-target talk!!
You can't know that, brother, as smart as you are: BUT I hope you are EXACTLY RIGHT!!! (IT'S EVIDENT, WON'T BE LONG--.02. . .in spite of the outright manipulating against us by the market-makers and shorts)!! The SEC should lift their hand against these guys, they really should!!
We're coming back up. . .looks good going into the Emerging Growth Conference (EGC)! GO PHIL! 300 million traded so far, just over an hour!!
Pure outright MANIPULATION!!
In selling, you're trading pennies, losing DOLLARS bigtime!!
