Cablevision only gives us the Paint Drying channel, and it's up in the interactive numbers, which when you try to launch them, it blitzes the cable modem and you're down for 20 minutes while it resets.
GLER - it'll come back. It's a fickle mistress, all over the place when all you want is a quick in and out for a good trade. News spikes it a little from wherever it sits when the news comes out, but doesn't seem to have lasting effect. Since they're good at putting out news, maybe the market is waiting for useful financials rather than deals. This deal might be good for business, but the market might be looking at it saying, "more money out the door, and not enough coming in yet."
I still think GLER is a good hold -- it just hasn't happened yet
Q2 is nearly over -- there are only 10 days left. Once this WalMart line starts selling, this will fly, IMO
MSLP - huge WalMart news!!

I think it will be important for NVSR to find the balance between selling price of the units and the monthly subscription fee. While we as shareholders might prefer the units to go full price to start, they may have to discount some, especially to larger firms, and hope to make it up on the back end with the monthly fees. They certainly want to try to rope in as many customers as possible, but don't want to give the product away -- it's a tough thing for growing companies to do -- since some can get desperate for sales, especially as quarters end. With government mandates, it might make it easier for NVSR to hold the line on price -- which is more important in the short term.
NVSR News - NavStar Technologies, Inc. Announces Upgrade From Limited to Current Information at OTC Markets
ANAHEIM, CA, Jun 17, 2011 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- NavStar Technologies, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: NVSR), a company focused on producing and commercializing products and services for tracking/monitoring and reporting on the location and condition of high value cargo and other assets, is pleased to announce it has upgraded its tier status on OTC Markets from Limited Information to Current Information.
Does anybody think this might get a pop today based on the "upgrade" to the current pinks?

El Jefe,
JAMN has been drifting lower most of the day -- do you think there's another leg up?
I think FEEL can put it all together. Maybe Lee Miller can put out some PRs regarding orders, if they're substantial enough. If TGW or one of the other etailers buys $50,000 worth of product, that's good. But don't PR that West Valley Pro Shop has bought two retrievers and a wedge.
Clint,
I've only followed AFPW and I'm in around .0051. I think they'll come back to the 60s and 70s soon enough. I would hold onto them.
El Jefe,
I've been following your board for a little over a week and it has helped. We've all held too long, and that was what soured me on my last bit of penny trading a few years ago -- fell in love with stocks and then held a few too many bags. But I thought I would try again starting this winter, and it's gone much better. Even stocks I feel have long term potential -- if they go up 30%, I'm selling. I might keep some shares and keep an eye on them, or buy back in (I'm on my 3rd go-round with GLER already).
Most of the time, I'm going in with $1,000 position and once I'm in, I immediately set sell orders for 15-25% profit. Now if the stock looks like it's running, or has longer term potential, I might make that 30-50%, but I agree that it's important for beginners like me to take regular profits. And if the stock is dropping, I've become quicker to take my lumps and move on. I've lost out on some shakes here and there, and I have to learn from those.
Smaller traders like myself have to see that making $150 twice a week, on the same $1,000, if really pretty good. Greed always rears its head, and I've kicked myself for selling and then I see it keeps running (RYUN for instance), but more money is better than holding the bag.
Thank you, and I hope you keep up this service to traders.
ITNS up 24%!!!!
ITNS up 24%
A slow drift down on low volume -- not much fun to post about. I think a lot of people gave up on SHOM. There's still a lot to like, but for those hoping to see if start running from the 2s, well, a run from the low 1s doesn't hold the same appeal.
Agreed, don't be driving to 7-11 to load up. Use the minibar.
It's Newton's first law. Now all we need is an unbalanced force.
First law: Every body remains in a state of constant velocity unless acted upon by an external unbalanced force. This means that in the absence of a non-zero net force, the center of mass of a body either remains at rest, or moves at a constant velocity.
HOUM +100%!!!
I think we could each pitch in one share now
Unfortunately, easiest way to uplist to Amex and go from 3 cents to 3 bucks is a 1-100 R/S.
El Jefe -- well, I guess you can see the potential here! Thanks for your support
I don't think people understand the revenue potential of this library. Look at those Time-Life infomercials for the love songs, doo-wop songs, etc. etc. hosted by the guy from Air Supply, Bowzer Bauman from ShaNaNa, etc. These things air a lot, and the celebs are getting a piece of the action. 15 years or so ago, when Christie Brinkley and Chuck Norris were doing the infomercials for the exercise machine, she was getting over $250k a quarter in royalties from that (he was getting more but I wasn't privy to his side of the deal), which means the manufacturer was getting significantly more than that. Those infomercials for the Dean Martin variety show, they sell tons of those. Victor Borge -- come on, if they weren't making a mint, they wouldn't be airing the ads all the time. Now personal preference aside, Elvis is going to sell a whole lot better than Victor Borge.
MyFamilyTV has plenty of room to grow -- right now it's only available to about 15-20% of the country via Satellite and broadcast partners. They air some classic old shows like Lassie, The Rifleman, etc. along with faith based shows. Christian-oriented TV is a growing business as well, and they're on the right side of the curve here. They can air their own infomercials to sell off their library to fill any air time they don't fill.
This is a really good story, folks, with a lot of potential.
Seems people playing a waiting game -- not much volume so far
RAMO Big conference call at noon!
SHOM has had a lot of these days -- seems to be short covering to me. MMs keeping it down. Eventually, they'll run out of shares to cover.
RAMO I think anything under .04 is a good entry with CC tomorrow
PianoMan - I think it's mostly impatience on these small sales. Even though SMKY has more going for it than most pennies, a lot of the people who might invest lump it in the same boat -- they'll sell it to free up some money to chase a hot runner, figuring they can always get back in. We've had closes at 55, 60, 65 lately, back and forth, and the flippers and traders figure nothing is going on. But there'll be a day when they won't be able to get back in at those prices.
RAMO Big conference call tomorrow -- running!!!
Spreads are tightening too -- a good sign
Though dead over 30 years (or is he?), Elvis still outsells nearly all recording artists year-in, year-out. These unreleased recordings of the big stars of the 50s and 60s sell like wildfire.
VLCO Rare Elvis masters -- this will be huge!!!! They could easily sell several hundred thousand copies, probably many more IMO

RHINO, it is true. I had bought Chattem at $13 a few years back since my father was using Gold Bond powder and Capsaicin cream and all sorts of other products for the old and infirm. The products weren't cheap but Gold Bond especially was much more soothing than ordinary powders. They got bought out around $90 or so a few years later. I would have never found them looking through the stock listings, nothing really would've jumped out at me. Now if SMKY could get bought out at $90 in a few years -- now that would be really good
Those were mine -- I didn't think they'd get filled. The bid was so low, I figured I could do better than .20.
I think that was what was holding it down -- the short overhang -- it wasn't moving after buys like it should have
Might see $4s
FBCD - I'm holding there as well and hope it doesn't sink too far before it rallies
Well, I picked up 4,000 @ the ask. Freed up a few dollars from some others to start here. thanks for turning me onto this one -- it looks solid
ABVV - up, up and away!!!!!
CHYU - Merger!!
On June 1, 2011, China Youth Media, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Midwest Energy Emissions Corp., a North Dakota corporation (“Midwest”), pursuant to which at closing China Youth Media Merger Sub, Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company formed for the purpose of such transaction) will merge into Midwest, which will result in Midwest becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). Upon closing, all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Midwest shall be converted, by virtue of the Merger, into such number of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Merger Shares”) of the Company so that the shareholders of Midwest will upon conversion of the Merger Shares own 90.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding capital stock after giving effect to the Merger. The Merger Agreement provides that 15% of the Merger Shares shall be held in escrow following the closing for a period of up to 150 days subject to the achievement of certain performance milestones.
Midwest is engaged in the business of developing and commercializing state of the art technologies relating to the capture and control of mercury emissions from coal fired broilers in the United States and Canada.
The closing is subject to a number of conditions including but not limited to the delivery by Midwest of two-year audited and other financial statements of Midwest satisfactory to the Company, the completion of due diligence by the parties of each other, the accuracy at closing of the representations made by the parties in the Merger Agreement, and the performance and compliance by the parties with each obligation, agreement, covenant and condition contained in the Merger Agreement. In the event closing does not occur within 90 days, the Merger Agreement may be terminated by either party.
Other than in respect of the Merger Agreement, there is no material relationship between the Company and its affiliates and Midwest.
