Wow, I guess it tanked after all. .033 (-16.46%)
Damn! Other sold stocks won't settle until Wednesday morning. Can't buy more until then.
GO MRIB!!
So far so good. Already made a few bucks!
Looks like the naysayers were wrong after all otherwise it'd be tanking by now and I'd be feeling really spooked (Like I am from that earthquake we had earlier). Yeah, there's the possibility it could end up down by the end of day or week, but at least it isn't TANKING as some said it would. And I already have plans on buying more if it DOES go down as I would like to get my average share cost to about .03 (I'm at .0443).
GLTAL
LOL!! This is so true!
Reading some of the posts around here...
makes me want some Marani Vodka more than ever.
.02 or .10 by EOW?
Those two numbers have been predicted. But, of course, nobody really knows what's gonna happen. Well, I do actually. Here is precisely what's going to happen. If MRIB drops to the .02s (or even .03s) I'm gonna buy some more and average down (I'm in now at .0443) and will be quite stressed out during the dip. But if it goes to the .10s then I'll be having one great week.
GLTAL
Why does this post make me feel good?
Thanks, but I think I need something in life to stress over. lol.
Anyhow, I'm glad that there are many here that are on the same side as I am (long) and that's reassuring.
cheers
Better late than never?
Okay, it pisses me off that I most always get in on something before a drop in price. Case in point is MRIB. Shortly after the market opened on Friday (3-12) I bought 20k for .0413. (Small potatoes for some I know but not for me.) Anyhow, within five minutes it dropped to to .0352 so I panicked and sold. Then, wouldn't ya know it, within five minutes after that it went up to .045! (MFer!) Well, I did what I HAD to do and re-bought 20K (and another 2500 @.039 on 3-14). So I bought, sold and re-bought 20K within 10 minutes. What a buffoon.
Do I suck or what? =(
GLTAL
P.S. I guess it's good to say GLTAL ("Good Luck To All Longs" as opposed to GLTA ("Good Luck To All") as the latter would include the shorts.
P.P.S. I could really use some of that vodka right about now.
Wow, even this MB has low (post) volume.
Up or down at close Monday?
Just wondering what some think.
Finally got a buyer.
I was actually getting a little scared because I was trying to get rid of 12k all at once but they weren't selling so I got rid of the AON (All Or Nothing) option and finally got a buyer. Should have done that when it was at .145 or so the other day. Anyhow, sold 8540 shares @.139. Will sell 2460 more at a later date and keep 1K. Just wanted to have some CASH in the bank.
Why the price went down.
Because earlier today I bought 20k @.045 and an additional 2500 @.039. Coincidence?
For those who bought this under .02
Where did you find out about this stock/company? Just wondering if there is a newsletter I should be subscribing to for stocks like this!
Good luck to all.
cheers
Trust me, I make TOTAL sense. And believe me I have no ulterior motive to be here other than voice my headtrips. I know I probably shouldn't but it makes me feel a bit better is all. And, granted, my posts haven't been very positive. Oh well, losers usually aren't most cheerful people around ya know? lol. Anyhow, please don't think you caught me lying or being a "poser" as another person called me. Nah, neither is the case. But I do have to say that I posted that I sold my 12K of BCYP prematurely. I'm actually SELLING, not sold yet. I put in a limit order to sell at .145 earlier today. It finally reached that point jsut a little while ago but it didn't sell. So I raised the sell order to .146. Hey, I'm just trying to get as close to .153 or so as I can which is near the average of my buys of four different times. Trust me, it'll be gone soon. Hopefully today.
Now to tell you PRECISELY how stupid I am with this stuff (And I'm gonna make ONE post over at MRIB board), check this out. Hey, there is no way I could make this stuff up if it wasn't the truth. Here goes. At 0930 EST time I purchased 20K of MRIB @.0413. Actually I was scared going in as it had such a great week and, to me, I was thinking it COULD lose some momentum soon and the early speculators might sell soon to get their quick profits. (But they DO have a great product and I like to drink so I went for it!!). Well, knowing I'm a Johnny Come Lately on this stuff, within 5 minutes it went down to around to .0352!! What did I do? I panicked and SOLD. I sold the 20K I just bought 5 minutes earlier for a loss. But that isn't the worse of it. The next time I look (about 5 minutes after selling) it was back to over .415 where I originally bought it at!! (Great huh? And you can look at the intraday chart and see precisely where I was experiencing my panic which started about 10 minutes after the market opened!) So, shortly after my sell it gets up to .047!! And I'm walking around the house kicking myself!! So what did I do? I put in a buy order for .045 and I get it. So I now have 20k of MRIB!!
So, yes, BCYP will be gone soon and I'll be happy when it is as I'll be happy that I'm not trying up too much of my new (pre-owned) car money. In fact, I might buy a few thousand more of MRIB on a monthly basis. Well, depending on how it's going of course. I can afford this stock as 5000 shares at, say .05 is only about $260 (incl. eTrade fee).
I just checked it out. BCYP is now at .1465 and my sell for .146 didn't go through (Hell, I don't know why but I'm kinda glad as I jsut raised the sell to .147.) Hey, you can believe me or not, that's not my problem. But, you'll see, it'll be gone. I simply don't want it anymore as I have a NEW stock to look at (and a new headtrip). So, for the last time, thanks for the tip. Oh, and yes I was scared about MRIB cuz sometimes when you get a tip it is already too late. But I have to say, I'm already up a few bucks and I actually feel good for a change. :D
Bye, and sorry about the name calling.
Decided to sell BCYP. Yes, really.
Good luck to all.
cheers
@nsomniyak. You talking about ME with the "poser" comment?
Are you fkm? (Fugging Kidding Me?) Hey, I've been to MBs but this comment is one of the most IGNORANT comments I've even seen.
@thedeadparrot.
I get that it's not ALL about "luck" and that skill, "due diligence", a good computer program or two, etc. is a part of finding a potentially hot stock. But all I'm saying is I'm just frustrated in MYSELF knowing I could have done better than puttin gmy money into BCYP. (Yes, I've done worse!). I really wasn't here for a real long term investment. Heck, I jsut wish I had done as well as YOU have done with picking some winners is all. And the proof is right with the stock Message Boards you have posted on. I checked out the boards you have posted on (I am guessing you have purchased shares in each, but that's not really the point). Here they are:
MRIB
LATF
SKTO
WDDD
NLST
PLPL
SVLT
SLTD
TRTC
BCYP
(I excluded NVIV and OTIV because there rise in stock value occurred was long before Jan. 1, 2014).
Anyhow, I looked at the stock charts from Jan. 1, 2014 (I excluded NVIV and OTIV because they rise in stock price occurred before Jan. 1) and, well, it's just my luck, that BCYP has done the WORST of the bunch!! Yep, out of ALL of them. So please excuse my frustration. And I can see why you have followers as you obviously know what you are doing. Hell, I thought I was doing great when I bought a few thousand shares of HEMP at .008 and sold at .24. It was a great feeling to make that kind of money in so short of period of time. No, it's not comparable to YOUR "gambles" but it didn't, or doesn't, have to be. It was still exciting.
Anyhow, yep, MRIB looks great. Hope it's not too late to get in. And, yes, I read the excitement of many of the posters during that skyrocketing of share price recently and it must have been a great feeling to have gotten in when you did and see it kick ass.
cheers
P.S. No more rants, anti-BCYP posts, etc. from me.
P.P.S. Why or why didn't I find out about MRIB sooner? Now I'm bummed out again. lol..
Oh my. Wrong choice of words for some I see. Guess I should have said "I'm losing hope", would that have been better and less "God based"? lol. (I think I've already mentioned elsewhere that I'm the "impatient" type.) But, aren't I allowed to moan or voice pessimism on a MB when things don't seem to be going as well as I had hoped they had? Or is a MB only for GOOD NEWS?
Anyhow, MRIB is PRECISELY what I had hoped for BCYP. (And congrats on that!) Where did you hear about them? Hell, (oops, that's a religious thing huh?) now I'm wishing I had posted my previous message a week ago. That way your "latest and greatest rumor" of MRIB would have gotten me to check them out around when their shares were at .0130. What a great looking Penny Stock!! So, just wondering, how high do you think MRIB could go? Just a guess I know.
Losing faith.
So, the positive news of yesterday results in a stock price LOWERING in stock price? WTF? Indeed, as of 1150 today BCYP is -1.35% (it was MUCH lower earlier!). But why does GOOD NEWS result in a DECREASE in stock price? Well, I have just read something by Peter Leeds in his book "INVEST IN PENNY STOCKS" (pg. 11). It has me worried a bit actually. He says this:
"There is an expression in the stock market that says, "Buy the rumor, sell the fact." It's a lesson that all new traders shoudl learn, because it will help them profit while avoiding selling too late.
The idea is simple. When there's an outstanding rumor about an upcoming event for a company , investors buy in once they hear about it through the grapevine, thus pushing share prices higher. Once the event itself is actually realized, the share price loses that upward buying pressure and the stock drops in value.
For example, ABC Inc. is likely to get FDA approval for its new drug. The upcoming ruling is widely expected, and many buy in, speculating that the announcement will send the shares skyward. This starts pushing the stock upward.
Eventually, once the actual FDA approval comes out, the shares don't spike much higher since the speculators had already run the share price up so much., Now that the announcement is out, many of those same speculators start cashing out, putting a great deal of selling pressure on the stock. Thus, despite the release of some very positive news, the shares actually head lower!"
I know this isn't the same thing. And with a positive court ruling on it's patents/lawsuits or settlements, BCYP shares should rise when the news is widely read. Well, that is what is SUPPOSED to happen, right? But yesterday's news and a LOWERING of share value? It bothers me.
Cheers
P.S. Sorry to sound so pessimistic once again. But, well, my kid just recently bought some JC Penny stock, only about 450 shares or so, and he's already made $300.
Okay, so "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)." Anyone have a guess what DECADE/CENTURY that share price might come to pass in?
Okay, so perhaps I shouldn't check out the charts and BCYP as much as I do, but I can't help it. I like the thought of making some money at the end of the day for doing nothing. But what is starting to irk me is that even while today we got some good news, BCYP still ended up FLAT for the day! BCYP closed at .148 (up .003 2.07%) but in after hours trading lost the days gain and went back to .145. Apparently it's just the intraday traders who are making the money. Up it goes for an hour or so then back down it goes. Heck, I'd actually like to make a few bucks with this by Sept when I want to get another car. I mean at least can I get my trading fees back?
Sorry for venting.
DOH!
Certainly that "News Alert" wasn't there when I posted my last message. lol
Was this the news?
I know. I was just trying to be humorous. And failed. lol..
Oops! Was replying to post #2301 down below.
As of 0800, not BCYP! (-4.40%)
Lowered my order to .137. as it's at .139 now (0730) down 11.13% since I bought in. Figures. I'll probably end up getting 3K more sometime soon and that'll be it.
I'm going to buy more if it dips to .138. (If it gets to .10 or .11 I'll be a wreck). I won't sell until after the litigation, depending on how it all goes.
Imho, you are spot on about the "news" bit. I'm currently following (for the heck of it) 11 stocks which I have recently received (pump?) news on just to see how they would do in the short term. The "news" came in the form of a text or email with most being on the PumpsandDumps.com website. As of this morning at 0735, 8 of the 11 stocks are UP, 2 are EVEN and, yep, you might have guessed it, ONLY Blue Calypso is DOWN (ANOTHER 1.42%)!! Why? It can only be as you said. Because there is nothing in the way of "news" making people want to buy BCYP while ALL the others had "news" about the stock which got people interested enough (for some reason or another) to buy.
Anyone know when the Markman Hearing (originally scheduled for Aug. 27, 2013) is going to be now that the PTAB decision is out of the way?
Thanks for the reply. I get the "skinny bones" thing but when you have a ton of shares the volatility can be quite scary.
Cheers
P.S. Excuse my ignorance but what does GLTA (GLTAL) mean?
GRPN, IZEA, YELP and BCYP Post-PTAB.
First off, a statement by Ted Murphy, IZEA's Founder and CEO, which was made BEFORE the recent decision of the PTAB:
"The Patent Office's recent actions make clear that these patents should never have been issued in the first place," said Ted Murphy, Founder and CEO of IZEA. "IZEA looks forward to the patent office's final decisions on the business method patent reviews and conclusion of the Blue Calypso litigation."
And here are how the stocks of some of the companies that BC has sued since the recent PTAB decision:
IZEA: Feb. 19 @.60 / Feb. 28 @.480
*YELP: Feb. 19 @90.00 / Feb.28 @94.42
GRPN: Feb. 19 @10.00 / Feb. 28 @8.31
BCYP: Feb. 19 @.16 / Feb. 28 @.14
(I believe the other companies were private.)
Seems that both IZEA and GRPN were adversely affected while YELP is actually doing BETTER since the decision! But BCYP itself?? Well, it seems like there never was a decision at all! It's as if nobody heard the news! Or is it that not many cared about the news to buy? No GAIN since the decision but an actually LOSS in stock price.
I might be wrong, but isn't this mostly about SUPPLY and DEMAND? If so, then there just seems to be too little DEMAND for BCYP right now. But WHY? And what if this stock went down to, say .11 or .10, it's lowest ever. Would the LONG'S here STILL be holding it and hoping (knowing?) for a return to higher prices? Just wondering.
Frankly, I think I'm just trying to make myself feel better while getting battered. lol... Well, not that I'm really losing my ass or anything but it's down some at it's down over 10% since I bought a bunch of shares (on 4 different occasions!) Heck, so why wouldn't it be UP over 10% since I bought it? I mean, considering the "good news" about the PTAB decision and the stock price goes DOWN? What's up with that? Okay, yes, I can afford to lose every cent I've gambled with on this but I just don't want to because I'd feel like an ass for being so stupid. And why is that? Well, because so many "experts" say to stay away from these Penny Stocks because they are can be manipulated. But because they are so cheap the allure is that yo ucan purchase so many shares so cheaply. Which I did. And the "experts" say you can lose yer ass on Penny Stocks. Which I hope I don't. But, depending on tomorrow's showing, if it goes lower, it's approaching the lowest price ever which was .12 on Jan. 21, 2014 (It might have gotten that low in 2013 as well). But for the life of me I can't understand why this is so seeing the recent decision by the PTAB. It's almost like that decision didn't matter a bit for the stock price. In fact it's price is now LOWER than BEFORE that decision!! How can that be anything GOOD? And if THAT NEWS didn't get the stock rising what will? A positive court decision down the road how many months? Frankly, I was hoping to just hold on to this stock for a few months then sell, not to have to hold on to it for a year or three to see a profit.
Anyhow, I think what I need are some other stocks to gamble on to take my mind of this one. But it just stresses me out. Seriously. But that's what I get for getting in at the wrong time. I guess. Will know more tomorrow.
Sorry for the rant. But I feel a bit better now. But if it goes lower tomorrow, you can bet I'll feel a tad sick. And even more depressed. And pissed off too.
Cheers
Anyone know when the Markman Hearing will be now that the PTAB is out of the way concerning some of the patents?
Does Facebook's purchase of WhatsApp have anything to do with Blue Calypso's technology? Just wondering. I mean, is there another possible lawsuit in the future or is WhatsApp completely unrelated to anything concerning BC??
Please, be nice, I'm new here.
I see since the PTAB decision BCYP has had only 2 up-days. Frankly, I thought that decision (and the Merriman report that followed) was great news but it really didn't do ANYTHING good for the stock price. (Well, I guess it did if you were shorting it!) In fact, the share price has actually dropped! (And the volume is quite low as well.) Can anyone explain this? Heck, if this is the kind of response to this news I simply can't see the price of this stock rising in the near future without some other sort of NEWS.
I hate to sound so pessimistic, but I am. Not to mention a bit scared. So I'm thinking of cutting my losses (perhaps Tuesday, depending on what happens tomorrow) and then re-buying sometime down the road when it's lower. I do like this stock but I really had hoped something much better would have happened and much sooner in regards to its stock price.
