Ooh this was a SLEEPER! Didn't expect it to sell yet, and BOOM! Sold when I wasn't looking. Nice! :D
So now I'm buying back into something else I did well on. Woo!
The minute I drop the sell point by a penny, she's gonna shoot up 15-cents. Just watch! I actually had the sell point higher but didn't want to wait it out.
LITE is in the top two out of eleven communication picks, according to an Oct 11 article entitled, "Investors' Soapbox: 2 Communications Picks for Upside Earnings -- Barrons.com." Rated at BUY with a $66 price target.

They've substantially reduced their debt, they have developmental projects in the pipeline, and there is plenty of "near-term growth potential" here.

HOV is tickling my happy bone by a penny, never quite getting to the itch. Give a penny, take a penny, what to do, what to do... It actually got up to my happy number several times today, but somebody else got the goodie, my autoset sale did not trigger.
Thanks Fozz. Appreciate the good wishes Almost makes me hope for a radical price drop so that I can buy back in at the "right" price to even out my PPS. Now it needs to either shoot way the heck UP, or drop way the dickens DOWN, for me, lol!
I rarely follow a stock to the top. So when I'm out, you are right, it may well still be climbing. I've missed some incredible plays that way, sometimes to the tune of $1 or $2 more a share. But opting for safer profit isn't always a bad thing, either
ODP is buying out CompuCom and adding tech support services to its retail stores, similar to the Geek Squad. One of Office Depot's major shareholders, Paulson & Co. which owns a 2.5% stake in ODP, is cheering the move.

Paulson Gives Latest Office Depot Deal Thumbs Up -- Market Talk

Looks like a good time to buy in. Prices are crazy low right now.
If it drops to 0.09 then I might take CJ's advice :D
Heck, I'm in at these prices!
I'm out at 25-cents a share profit. Nice job, MLSS! Wise man say, Don't Get Greedy.
Huge indeed! MLSS definitely caught someone's eye this week, in a happy way
Some of us are genuinely sitting on a huge loss, watching a PPS that never seems to rise no matter what good news comes out the gate. We are not all trolls.
The 26-cent teaser... my account positions window is open right now as I'm watching two other stocks hover near a sell-point. The stock just above, and the stock just below TRTC are both in the 26-cent range. So when I glance at the list and see TRTC, my brain sees 26-CENTS WOO WE'RE CLIMBING BACK UP! before realizing that nope, it's not TRTC after all.
Come to mama, up we go... heck, this one spends blocks of time above 1.50 historically, reaching peaks over $4.00.
If the 52 week high was 56-cents, and this is considered to be a safe number by investors over traders, then what PPS do you guys realistically anticipate from the upcoming good news before any potential R/S?
Appreciate the vote of confidence in hanging on awhile longer. When are the landmark events? Ach, I guess BidnessMan posted them as a sticky.
You don't think it would time an R/S to just before big events so that the events would carry the price beyond an R/S? My penny in the pot well hopes that you are right!
Didn't she just take off today! Up 10-cents from today's open. Nice way to start the week. Climb every mountain...
My PPS is below the 52-week high. I agree with you that the PPS can get to and beyond even the all-time high without an R/S. But it just smells like an R/S will come before the price gets up there. Gut feeling, but I don't think they'll allow a natural price rise until after they do an R/S.
CJ, that's my FATHER holding for a week or two. Not me. I've never seen his account so I have no idea what's in it besides what he tells me. I think my father gets some newsletters with stock picks, in answer to your other question. I do not. I fly solo.
I pick my own based on the chart and other factors, except for letting my father get up in my business with TRTC, lol! TRTC wasn't from a newsletter, it was from the news cycle, pot stocks being the Next Big Thing. I don't let him anywhere near it, now. He trades on those newsletters, the news cycle, and general business cycles.
I generally expect to hold for 2-3 months. Although I've got one from 2006 that totally tanked, I held it, and amazingly it clawed its way back up and mine should sell within a few weeks at a profit. My spouse has one from 2006 that did an R/S, and a spinoff, and one of the two spins is trying like the dickens to get to profit stage. It's almost there. Rather a magical thing to see. We were both working too many hours at day jobs to really watch it closely back then. Twelve hour days inc drive time.
As for TRTC, I trust the potential. Totally. I just don't trust the stock price to follow a logical path of Good News = Price Shoots Up, or that mgmt even wants us peons to come out in the green My 2006 company, I never lost faith in it. Therein lies the difference.
It's the new California gold rush. Who made money during the gold rush? The miners who sold the farm to buy shovels and pans? Or the businessmen who SOLD them the shovels and pans... and rented out rooms, and sold food, and weighed the gold and paid the miners, and such.
Magnum, you're preaching to the choir with me, lol!
Someday TRTC or some offshoot of it will shoot to the moon. But what happens between now and then... how many reverse splits or other plays... lots can happen, good and bad for us.
Will the current common shareholders be allowed to ride the rocketship up with the creators? Or will it be preferential seating only? Reserved for the gods, while we watch the flame burn its way through the atmosphere...
That's what it feels like from the cheap seats right now.
I think I'll throw a penny in the well and wish for a sign this week... my finger has been hovering over that SELL button, but I just can't make myself pull the trigger at such a loss.
AP, he may well have the last laugh. He's right about a lot of things. And he claims to make a nice side income from his stock plays, to boost his retirement income. He's a flipper. Doesn't stay in anything long, I don't think more than a week or two. He totally jumped on the pot stock train. But this go-round, he lost on it. Politics got in the way for both of us. Them Washington folks...
My position in TRTC is too embarrassing to share, lol! Trust me, I bought in at the WORST possible time. I've done every possible calculation to figure out what I'd need to do to survive an R/S, but the number of shares I'd have to buy... I don't generally invest that much in a single stock. Especially one that I lost faith in.
Do I believe in TRTC's future? Absolutely. Do I believe in the Powers That Be to allow the price to rise organically, to allow it to rally on good news and such? Heck no. That's where my issue is. Trust.
There are too many ways they can alter expectations. I worked in accounting for decades, as an underling, but enough to have seen all the number crunching. I've also seen dirty tricks from behind the scenes. You see a lot in an accountant's office. Ain't pretty.
One thing I did learn, is WHO makes the money. The person that owns the land and buildings and rents them to the company. They sit super pretty. And the trusting partner that sinks his life savings in but owns nothing but the hope of future revenues, he's the one who goes down. Of course, that's in companies with no public stock. The TRTC guys found a way to ensure they get paid, through you and me.
CJ, the investment strategy that works best for me is to avoid R/S at all costs, and not to take stock advice from my father.
I've done well with every stock I picked on my own, except for when I tried to ride out an R/S.
TRTC did not come up on my stock screen. It didn't fit the normal profile of stocks I buy. My father got up in my business with pot stocks, which is how I ended up with TRTC.
It did make sense at the time logically, with everybody expecting pot stocks to shoot off into the cosmos, but the chart was totally wrong for my standard strategy of buying into the dips on a stock that usually trades much higher, with a long enough history to be confident that the highs aren't just flukes, with a few other factors ruling it in or out.
TRTC wasn't in a dip when I bought in. But daddy dearest was so certain that it wouldn't matter. He was wrong. Now I'm trying to figure out the best exit strategy for the least damage. Father doesn't always know best Chicky does better flying solo.
Did the math. The trouble is in prepping for a split. I can work it out if they split to uplist, but if it's for any other reason, my numbers don't work. Because you have to count on the PPS to shoot UP afterwards. And the consensus here is that there will be an R/S long before they uplist. But you just gave me an idea... woo!
Love that scenario! No worries till April, plenty of time to either sell off or prep for a long game. Feeling jittery because I don't think they'll wait that long.
Profit? Somebody's holding with profit? Who? Where?!
Missed it by a penny. Maybe Monday :D
50-cents up and I'm still holding.
She's turning the corner. Seaport Global initiated Novavax at Neutral today. I try to buy stocks BEFORE they start going up, before everybody says BUY, sometimes even when others are selling. Not always right, who is? But I'm taking this as a good sign
Somebody must agree with me because there are more buyers than sellers today. Average volume.
Price has been rising for a long time. Steady climb upward. TheStreet says BUY. MarketEdge says BUY. The others say HOLD. Nobody says sell on my broker's page.
I'm holding out for $3.25. I'm in this one for the long play. $2.30 is more easily reachable, however. I expect when the dead of winter sets it, she'll get up there
She's got an interesting chart when you look at the 20-year, 10-year, 5-year, 3-year, and 1-year, and compare the trends.
I wish I didn't share your doom and gloom. But after watching the teacup break as if someone were holding that price down intentionally, I believe you. With all the good news and positive maneuvering this company has done to get ready for the big time, the price by all accounts should be MUCH higher. I've lost faith.
Up 45-cents, feeling giddy... am I the only one excited by this stock this week?
Up 41-cents from where I bought in. Weeee!
