Would depend on which of two companies that have an interest to merge/buyout. Merger with the first of two would move price upwards to 17.7 cents; merger with the second company would move price to $1.90.
Level 2 cues indicate $1.90 and NITE knew yesterday about merger.
MM making volume to get price hike on PR of merger. Merger will remove chill and provide needed capital infusion. Expect 17.7 cents soon.
MM on the move today! What will come next is Press Release News! My guess a merger is cooking?
The price manipulations going on with this stock is shameful. How will this stock gain investors on Q3 PR with price a manipulation history for potential investors to see? How could any investor put much money in this stock with this amount of price manipulation going on?
I wonder if the SEC would consider this stock having price Manipulation? Pre-market opening Ask of $8 and closing price near 1 cent?
What explains a price drop like this after positive PR News from the Beauty Press Event in NYC on 9/24/2014?
Our prediction for [HBRM ] is that the stock price will likely close the day of 2014-09-24 [HIGHER]. Your stock may go up in price 34.4%. Based on our analysis, our best advice for this stock is to BUY.
Method used by HBRM at RS:
Valuing Warrants with the Black-Scholes Model
Although there are several possible methods for valuing a warrant, a modified version of the Black-Scholes model is most common. This formula is for European-style options and, though American-style options are theoretically worth more, there is not much difference in price in practice.
In the Black-Scholes model, the valuation of a call option is expressed as:
C = S N(d1) - X e-rT N(d2)
Where:
C = price of the call option
S = price of the underlying stock
X = option exercise price
r = risk-free rate
T = time until expiration
N() = area under the normal curve
d1 = [ ln(S/X) + (r + s2/2) T ] / s T1/2
d2 = d1 - s T1/2
Because of the dilution that warrants represent, the value of that call needs to be divided by (1 + q) where q is the ratio of warrants to outstanding shares, assuming each warrant is worth one share.
Impact of Stock Warrants:
Stock dilution is an economic phenomenon resulting from the issue of additional common shares by a company. This increase in the number of shares outstanding can result from a primary market offering (including an initial public offering), employees exercising stock options, or by conversion of convertible bonds, preferred shares or warrants into stock. This dilution can shift fundamental positions of the stock such as ownership percentage, voting control, earnings per share, and the value of individual shares. A broader definition specifies dilution as any event that reduces an investor's stock price below the initial purchase price.
Some clarifications about stock warrants. Without considerations to using as cover shares for short interest and/or trading signals:
Companies issue stock warrants to raise money. When stock options are bought and sold, the company that owns the stocks does not receive any money from the transactions. However, a stock warrant is a way for a company to raise money through equity (stocks). A stock warrant is a smart way to own shares of a company because a warrant usually is offered at a price lower than that of a stock option. The longest term for an option is two to three years, while a stock warrant can last for up to 15 years. So, in many cases, a stock warrant can prove to be a better investment than a stock option if mid- to long-term investments are what you seek.
Maybe the next "Warrants" issued will be Arrest not Shares.
IMO the entire reason for warrant shares being issued, even if cash was deposited with the Transfer Agent Co., was to enable short buys to profit at the expense of Longs.
Wharphrat, what do you think the 1 and 2 share trades represent? If they are signals then they are either attempts to manipulate price or PR news flags or processing of warrant shares? I think the SEC can look into the before and after impact of these 1 and 2 share trades to determine if they represent any trading violations and make the decision as to whether a trade halt is warranted on this stock.
I understand your point Wharphrat but I have never seen more grounds for halting trade. Ultimately, the SEC will make the determination as to whether or not to halt trade. Although the 1 and 2 share trade signals didn't get reflected in the price of the stock they may represent intent to manipulate trading? The SEC can make the determination as to whether these signals impact the trading of tjis stock.
You're welcome kr8008st. I want to see Longs get price gains to reflect the true Market Value Price. This stock has a very bright future, if we can get rid of the price manipulators that use short interests trades and profit by driving price down.
Thanks Khas. My sentiments as well. Even if the SEC puts a trade halt on the stock for awhile the longer term best interests will be served for the stock and the investor trading.
I could care less about the stock but I want the price manipulators charged with trade violations and prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
Expect Trading Halt upon SEC investigation. Seems likely that 1 and 2 shares trading over a long period of time and the accompanying price manipulations that follow will be grounds to halt trading. IMO
Another 1 share trade signal at 15:09:14 at 1.5 cents. More documentation of price manipulation.
Yeah you're right Wharphrat, an interesting situation that has the appearance as Conspiracy to Commit Fraud by stock price manipulations using 1 share trading signals. Hoping for a trading halt until issue is investigated and charges made. May involve insider trades as well?
Hey Warphrat, yeah the 1 share trades have been going on a long long time. My reason for being here.
Hey Comb. Here's what I got back from SEC. Bear in mind there is a long history of 1 share transactions that appear to be price manipulation signals.
Thank you for submitting your online contact to the Securities and Exchange Commission's Office of Investor Education and Advocacy. A representative of the Office of Investor Education and Advocacy will respond to you shortly.
Two 1 share transactions at .017 at 10:34:54. A trading violation for manipulating price drop, IMO.
I am the person filing complaint and will update Longs when SEC responds. These 1 share transactions are price manipulation signals IMO.
SEC investigating 1 share signals as potential price manipulating signals.
Complaint submitted to SEC alleging Shorty is manipulating price. May get a trade halt?
Shortys' rope is shorter. IMO
Volume climbs ... Price too low. Fair Market Value 12.8 cents
Lock up your shares...Shorty with warrant shares on the loose!!!
Today's forecast is increased volume with slight price increase as new investors continue to enter the stock. We expect a 5.7 +/- 1.2 price hike on Q3 PR. May also get PR News from NYC Beautyfest Event. Early canvassing on satisfaction levels from AcnEase is very impressive and great sales revenues follow.
Volume getting higher, price to low
Double ask!!
Lock up shares from Shorty!
Today price hike starts. Macroaxis shows 473M shares outstanding with over 25% owned by "Shorty"
Thanks guys for the information. I only have 600k shares but I will not sell for less than 12 cents. May be Q4 before I exit. Happy Trading!!
