DPER's a good one IMO
And I don't think it gives us any respect -- we're looked at as a soft touch. We need to start with the stick first, then give the carrot, not carrots all the time with no sticks.
Missed out on FOFU. Very down about that
I'm not sure we should suspend all aid BUT we should make every appropriation contingent on something, none of this $5 billion every year ad infinitum to country A, $8 billion to country B, etc. Many of our allies don't need aid, and there are only a few who do who are reliable. The unreliable ones, who go whichever way the wind blows, they should all be cut off at the neck.
Come to New York, taxes are terrible. High sales taxes, high real estate taxes, high income taxes. Governments have a spending problem since that's how politicians get re-elected. Tax loopholes and carve-outs provide incentives for businesses to support certain politicians. Few politicians support flat taxation since it doesn't allow them the opportunity for mutual back-scratching.
El Jefe, I've been in FEEL too long. The company has some nice ideas, but they've been diluting to raise some funds, possibly for informercials. I think if they produce some slick ads, they have a chance long-term, but right now, only the IGOTCHA line has much sales. The grips are a great idea but overpriced, and other than the wedges, it seems they've discontinued the other club lines. The wedges are great but have really tough competition -- nobody wants anything other than the Clevelands and the Titleists, and FEEL is coming in at a higher price.
That being said, trading from 3s to 5s is a possibility for the patient, though I wouldn't discount the chance of trading from the 3s to the 2s.
Would have liked to see a little more detail -- like a minimum dollar amount at least. But at least now their intent is public
CLEARWATER, Fla., July 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- ValCom, Inc. (VLCO.PK) announced today that its Board of Directors has approved the repurchase of outstanding Common Stock, by the Company's management, effective immediately.
The shares will be purchased from time to time at prevailing market prices, through open market purchases. There is no guarantee as to the exact number of shares that will be repurchased by the Company and the Company may discontinue purchases at any time that the Board of Directors determines additional purchases are not warranted. The repurchase program is expected to continue over the next six months unless extended.
"ValCom has recently paid down a significant portion of all short-term debt and the Board of Directors believe that the current share price does not reflect the company's true market value and has therefore approved a share buyback program," stated Vince Vellardita, President and CEO of ValCom. He continued, "The recent appraisal of the ValCom library, the value of our assets, the growth of My Family TV, and the recent distribution agreements we have signed for the library are all factors we have used to determine that ValCom stock is undervalued at its current levels."
The company recently announced the results of the appraisal of its content library. The first phase of the audit and appraisal focused on the television and film portion of the library. A present value of $40,182,000 has been placed on this portion of the library. The second phase of the audit and appraisal has focused on the audio portion of ValCom's library. A value of over $80 million has been placed on this portion of the library alone. The combined appraised value of ValCom's television, film and audio content exceeds $120 million.
ValCom also recently announced that it has entered into a distribution deal with Universal Media Group, a division of Universal Studios, for The Platters Golden Anniversary album and that it will also be releasing Ike & Tina Turner: The Lost Tapes as a subsequent album. Both projects pull from content in ValCom's library.

You're right, VZ3 about the thinness. Somebody will want to sell, and when the spread is wide, they'll end up down at the bid, which is often a fishing expedition -- hoping you'll be able to buy down there but not expecting much. In SMKY's case, a lot of us are nicely loaded, so we're not regularly bidding for more.
BGPIQ Power Hour!!! Let's rock 'n' roll to the finish!
OPMG And Tuesday July 12th's "Today's Special Value" will be in the electronics arena. Not saying it's PhoneGuard, but it's interesting scheduling
BGPIQ - huge day! Multiday runner IMO
Well, the stock did great until the court date Gotta sell the news on these.
UYMG - huge rebound from earlier lows -- great company!
BGPIQ - The new TSTRQ, only bigger and better!
SRPX -- Nice climb today
VLCO has huge potential. I thought we had left the 3s behind, but I picked up more down here.
Bruce, I know VSHC owns a nice chunk of VMCS, but does VSHC get any dividends from preferreds or anything like that?
FBCD - I've been in it for several months and averaged down some. I think they'll really start to take off later in the month around the time of Comic-Con, which starts 7/21 in San Diego. It might not be a bad play to take some profits on little runs, as the stock tends to drift lower with no news.
I agree about avoiding mutual funds. My last company's 401-k choices were terrible, and it was like throwing away half of your contribution every payday. I lowered my contribution to 6%, just enough to get the maximum 3% match from the employer. I was able to get them to put in an index fund after a couple of years of begging, since they weren't go to give us a full slate of choices (we only had about 18 people in it -- small company). They laid me off in late Feb 2009 and I was overjoyed to get my money out of there. My timing was good, as that was about the market lows, but I nearly tripled that money in 2+ years, and you know the funds wouldn't have given me that opportunity. My new job doesn't currently contribute to the 401-k, so I probably won't join. If I put the money in an IRA, I can choose where to invest it.
Think big. Think .77 LBSR
It's not 1.6 billion but 857 million. They're giving the dollar amounts as of two different dates -- they're not to be combined together.
I've been in VSHC a while and have watched the trading action and to me, it seems pretty solid. Like everybody else, I'd've preferred a bigger move up, but that's how it goes. I've bought a little more here and there on dips and had some sell orders in to catch a rise. Those were my 15k today at 63 -- a partial fill. I've finally learned that while I might consider a stock a good long-term play, there's no shame in taking a few dollars off the table now and then, and picking up a few more shares on dips. Bruce has some strong convictions about VSHC, and I agree it has potential. But with these small companies, you just never know. Trading action doesn't always reflect the value of the stock. Companies with real earnings sometimes trade like POS and some POS companies seem to levitate for weeks on ridiculous PRs.
But Bruce certainly didn't put a gun to my head to buy it, and if it was just a pump and dump, he would have been outta here weeks ago after after the first ticks over 70, and on to the next pump. If I thought this was hopeless, I'd sell and take some losses, but I think it can break the penny.
The medical software field is very competitive, and there are a lot of companies in it, though most are not publicly traded. There are a lot of niches in the field, from regular hospitals, to nursing homes, ambulatory surgical hospitals, doctors' offices, walk-in clinics at the drugstores, insurance companies, medical billers, pharmacies -- the list goes on and on, and a company can find profits with a good product and just one specialty. This field is going to grow, as less than half of medical offices have electronic recordkeeping. As long as VSHC can get a share of this big and growing pie, they should be OK, provided they continue to upgrade the product and don't dilute the stock.
Re MSG: The Knicks and Rangers play their home games there. The Barnum & Bailey Circus is there for a couple of weeks. St. John's plays a good chunk of their home games there, and it's been the site for the Big East basketball championships. They have plenty of concerts there as well, the Harlem Globetrotters for a few dates, plus a few graduations, but the Knicks and Rangers are the bulk of their dates and gate. They get the occasional large group there for conventions or meetings, but it's not really suited for that. It's an antiquated arena with difficult freight entry, as it's actually above street level, perched above Penn Station, the railway station for the Long Island Railroad, New Jersey Transit and Amtrak. The MSG Networks air the Knicks and Rangers, some college hoops (though not always games from MSG), and assorted sports shows. They carry a horse racing recap show on days there is racing from Aqueduct, Belmont or Saratoga. Personally, I doubt the NBA season will be significantly shortened -- maybe 10-15 games at the most. Granted, who would've thought the NHL would've been out for a whole season a few years back.
While there is money to be made by players outside the NBA, it's not at the level of NBA salaries. And the opportunities aren't as easy for NBA players as it was for the hockey players back in 2004. The Euro leagues might bid for a few stars, but I think the owners have more leverage here. I think they'll end up with a slightly "harder" salary cap, and maybe, maybe a slightly worse revenue sharing deal for the players. Most of the owners have done fine with the current deal, and none of them really want to open up all their books to the players association. So many of these owners also own the cable network that airs the teams' games, so they pay the team a smaller licensing fee for airing the games than would prevail in a free market. Why did George Steinbrenner build the YES network? To make it easier to move money from the team itself to outside entities, controlled by the same people. The Dolans so the same with MSG.
But I think if there is a lockout/strike which threatens the beginning of the season, the stock of MSG could get hit by 20-50% on the emotion of it all. Granted, a lot is held by funds and institutions, so there won't necessarily be panic. But the stock could drift lower until there's a resolution, and it could easily drift down 1-2% for every Knick game missed.
I think you might have a good play with MSG puts. Much like Cablevision, it's poorly run, but the Dolan penalty might already be part of the stock price. It could be a good play if it looks like the season doesn't start until 2012
It's true. My settled trades were about $400 five of the last six days. I don't know whether that will continue, and I have some stinkers I'm hoping will run back up for me, but I can't count on that. I did sell some disappointments this week and still managed OK. I bailed out of SFIO yesterday (guess I should've held on another day) and I still eked out $100 for the day. Still, it really was a great week. I have a couple of longer term shares I'm holding, and I hope to buy some more DTTO around .015. I sold it three times these last six days in the .021-.025 range and keep buying more. I'm thinking now that GLER has soared and crashed again, it'll be time to buy some more in the 2s and wait for next PR.
Have a wonderful weekend as well. I'm doing much better on a daily basis since trying to follow your principles. I'm leaving money on the table by getting out too soon, but I'm not having to reach into my pocket very often to cover losses.
I have some MLHC as well and volume's been so thin. It's tough when you want to hold on to stocks and don't have enough to buy more.
Your emails are terrific. I greatly appreciate all the work you guys do.
I bought some back then and I've been holding. Sadly, it seems the emails take forever to arrive in my mailbox. Gotta love what'shappening with SMKY, too
Sell the rumor, buy the news LOL
I sold most of mine at 29. Might try to get back in on dips in the lower 20s
I think the 6 cents are gone. As long as interest keeps building, this is a great sign. SMKY had been in that trading range for quite a while and broke out in a big way. Here's to a multi-year runner
Everybody's waiting for more news. Trades mostly at 5s & 6s today -- nothing to be excited about. News now or after hours would move us up into the weekend.
I have three without trades -- what a drag! And on another one, my buy is about 75% of the volume, and total dollar volume is only about $800. At least ADHC is moving back and forth.
