I make a point daily to read through the posts on this board primarily to stay abreast of any pertinent news related to CLWD. As I read through them I can’t help but conjur up memories associated with my own investing experiences. Over the decades I’ve stayed true to my personal directives related to investing which is heavily weighted towards the search for value. I like the challenge of tracking down those plays that reflect stability but also are still relatively undiscovered. During my thirty plus years I’ve been fortunate enough to have had more winners than losers and as the dust has settled the portfolio resembles more the SP500 as opposed to the Russell 2000. I’ve always had a long term mindset even more so as I’ve gotten older. But, I do have some fond memories of the 90’s with my newly established E*trade account & DSL connection and being caught up in that addictive day trading frenzy. Although I must admit a lot of times I ended up calling my broker and having the trade administered due to the allocated bandwidth being so low back in those days. My obsession with investing has diminished immensely over time and it’s viewed more now as a side hobby which allows me at this period of my life to redirect portions of the day on activities I truly consider being important.
I can certainly relate to the frustrations expressed on this board stemming from the psychological battles one will wage within themself. The torturous mental push/pull effect so aptly represented by the analogy reflected in the song made famous by the CLASH “Should I Stay Or Should I Go.” Back in the day it seemed I would always have that song running through my head just before pulling the trigger on an investment.
I know that person quite well who I get a glimpse of every morning in the mirror whose face certainly reflects the wear of those emotional bouts regardless of whether the decisive act resulted in regret or exultation. The bottom line being…it was all emotionally absorbed. Why didn’t I hang on to the Amazon position I bought back in November of 1998 when it was in the twenty dollar range? Oh, that’s right the brick and mortar debate was still raging. Conversely, what an extended rush taking short positions on MicroStrategy back in the early 2000's.
When you fast forward twenty plus years and the added bombardment on the mental psyche due to technological advancements over time has created so much more exposure for the mind to try and put into context. But, the wealth of information that goes along with this and the effort in doing your own due diligence is where refuge can be found.
Constantly remind yourself to base your judgments on important questions you need to ask about a company you’re investing in and make the effort to find the answers. Is it undervalued based on current fundamentals? Are their products and services being developed in a way to keep them a step ahead of the competition? Is management making an effort to finance growth without it having a negative effect on its shareholders? How large are the clients they’re signing? Study the 10Q’s each quarter: How does the percentage of top line revenue growth compare to the previous quarter? Is management working efficiently in minimizing expense but creating value in order to maximize bottom line growth? It’s all available and the advantage of this particular message board represents the fact it’s readily available. The longs on this board leave no stone unturned. One in particular’s “seal” of approval is reflected on all the vital factual information posted. What an advantage when so much of the DD has already been made available to you.
Don’t be swayed by the random contrarian who appears on the board stating nonsense with no factual documentation to back it up or the perplexing activity seen on level II at times. They have very little direct significance to share price value over the long term. In fact it has been my experience those elements usually represent the tightening of the band and results in more potential upside movement as the company hits their marks.
In closing…just don’t end up being that individual ten years from now who looks in the mirror and sees the person whose portfolio reflects a mid to upper six figure number for his Amazon holding instead of an eight figure number as a result of not staying the course with the original position and ends up buying eleven years later when the share price was a hundred dollars more.
As someone most famously stated on this board…”know what you own.”
And well rewarded in the process.
Hard lessons to be learned in pennyland.
Well said.
Well put. Very healthy action.
She was just in need of a little extended foreplay. The majority of the time it's well worth the wait as she proved today. I'm referring to the stock.
They certainly are primed and ready for that next step. Being able to get in at the ground level of an equity that is positioning itself so well is so rare.
Well in this particular case, of being detached from reality, has equated to a 200% increase over the last six weeks so far. I'll check myself into that type of institutional setting any day of the week.
Too funny! Great clip MJAM.
Time for a little perspective--let's replicate what has played out since the May 15th earnings release into the next quarterly reporting period and utilize the .0090 as the new .0016 normal. In the first quarter the May 15th report didn't stimulate any measurable spike in share price. It took the June 16th guidance PR and the June 25th Desert Mountain contract to launch CLWD to a high of .0163 on July 6th with a closing high of .0145 the previous day. That represents a 1,018% and 905% increases, respectively. Most on this board expect the catalyst this time to be the release of the 2nd quarter FINS. Now using a .0090 new normal share price times 1,018% increase would take the price a little above .09 cents. 45 days after the close of the second quarter would actually be Friday, August 14th. I'm thinking that week we'll have a nice build-up of momentum into Friday with an early part of the day earnings release leading us to an encore the rest of the day into the following week. I don't know about everyone else but I think it's certainly worth the wait.
When you've observed level II activity for decades these types of low volume, watching the paint dry days can be recognized early. Ideal for shorting, flipping or averaging down. It was easy to tell at the very least half the volume was on the short selling side.
Yes in deed. Thanks to the presence of Larry, Curly and Moe it does make the trading dynamic of the stock much more predictable. "On a side note"--quickly read this for it may experience the same demise as my previous post #18020;)
Appreciate the kind words. Just trying to defend the principle aim the longs here have expertly established long before my arrival. CLWD!
What I find so dumbfounding is the low grade of argument reflected in the post and the fact they somehow think people invested in this company are naive enough to let it have some influence. What? We're supposed to believe they've nothing better to do with their time other than come across as the savior for those about to make the biggest investing mistake of their lives. By their nonsensical conveyance which rivals the intellect of a gnat by trying to make you believe all the information submitted to the SEC up to this point in time are all lies and the fact the projected guidance somehow doesn't match up to the financials at this point? Give me a break. I've witnessed various forms of under the radar manipulation related to the markets over time. I won't even begin to expound on the period of the late 1990's through early 2000's when the air started coming out of the Tech Bubble. A large percentage of the volume that was being seen was from shares being traded institutionally from stock being held by the proprietary trading desks of large brokerage firms, "phantom volume." As a result retail investors were deprived of the shorting opportunities while the red carpet was rolled out for brokers and institutions. Unfortunately to this day Securities Brokerage and Clearing Firms still have their avenues that skirt the letter of fair practices in order to keep a share price suppressed.
Was that a denial?
As soon as the intern from "Down Under" vacates the premises you'll notice this will start trading with less upside resistance.
We'll need a nice uptick in volume for it to happen. One of those 3 AM PR's would definitely trigger it.
Hey, Sello--22% gain on your .0077 bundle. NIIIIIIIIIIICE!
The short volume ratio was much lower today than the previous few trading days. Lets see where we start heading tomorrow now that the red carpet has been rolled back up.
I agree. I think they need a virtual joining of hands kumbaya moment. You know things are digressing greatly when an ex-wife reference comes up.
Just returned from my enjoyable leisurely stroll through the pines. Life is good.
It's just MM direction movement. There's more money to be made for them to the downside with the current volume level. Get them while they're hot cause once this dictated movement is over it will surge big time to the upside.
lol. Nice grab.
"but I see more reasons to be in than out at this point"--the 10Q certainly illustrates your point. It's there for all to read and make their decision. I'm here for significant long term gain and that is inevitable.
I don't recollect offhand the post you may be referring to but if it is in some way related to the 598% increase in share price over the last month let me be the first one to express his appreciation!
Hey Lakota-wikcémna tópa aké zápta--Sooner rather than later is okay by me.
I must say this has to be one of the best IHUB boards in existence. Member's formulation of occurrences in a way that leaves no stone unturned, leading to as close to a definitive conclusion that can be found, is quite an education in itself. As far as my two cents go: HOLD ON TO YOUR SHARES! because once this below the radar manipulation to lower the share price for profit and picking up cheaper shares finishes those involved have every intent on taking it much higher. I'm very curious in seeing just how the amended 8k is worded and when it actually comes out. My guess it won't be within the first couple days and we'll still see more downward pressure. But, if anything was learned from last week is the importance of keeping "dry powder" at your disposal. Warfaretrader anticipated the opportunity all week with his posts and it was there for the taking. Ah, you just gotta love pennyland it certainly can be very entertaining to say the least.
If you've had the opportunity to read through 10Q's filed by pink sheet company's the one area that really stands out are the convertible note listings and most pink's 10Q's are littered with them. This is what stands CLWD apart from them. I know the last 8K caught everyone a little off guard but, "Divest" took time to put a quality post together, which was much appreciated, #17394 giving a possible explanation as to why and judging by posts today a CLWD representative did reach out stating an explanation will be forthcoming. Divest also mentioned in his post there are two older notes left and we're all hoping that CLWD management is committed in handling them in a non-dilutive way based on what you should really wrap your head around when evaluating this company properly. They have a very effective service platform in a 129 billion dollar industry and their revenues are starting to reflect significant growth. Their net operating income is expected to exceed 1 million in 2020 and the Reg A+ offering will generate additional capital allowing them to completely remove themselves from the arena of dilution. Even if it takes CLWD 2 years to reach .25 anyone who has a cost base average of .01 would be hard pressed to locate anything else in their portfolio that grew as much exponentially over that time. Studies over the decades have proven investors that flip in and out of a holding end up earning less than half when compared to those who stay the course.
Chuck,
It's gone from .0016 to .0095 in a months time. That's a 595% increase in stock price appreciation. The trading week is over and nothing can be done to reverse what played out. Don't allow it to ruin your weekend.
I've been waiting on someone to state the obvious.
Going from .0016 to .0163 over the last month combined with the unlikelihood of PR's towards the end of week and negative connotations connected to Parscale's demotion and out of the blue 8K makes CLWD ripe for short selling pressures. Couldn't help but notice the sites I track listing shares available to borrow reflect a lower inventory for CLWD over the last few days.
You're exactly right. Part of the appeal that drew me to CLWD was Parscale's history. When you factor in his connections due to his exposure I fail to see how that can't benefit CLWD and in an immense way potentially.
I hope it gets there because I doubt if CLWD can request a "mulligan" concerning the OTCQB.
I managed to fool you one time. Back on June 12th when I managed to accumulate half my position. If I recall correctly you made a reference to the trading possibly being note conversions and I believe it was "stock777777" who indirectly gave a compliment by stating that he thought it was just smart retailer's investing. He was correct in his assessment cause I was buying million share blocks at .0016. I wish I would have been the lucky one who bought at .0013 that day. Anyway, I appreciate all the info. you post on this board and the majority of the time you're spot on.
That thought certainly crossed my mind as well.
No question. If they just manage to hit their projections the share price will be much higher than what we've seen up to this point in time.
We will. A person can't make such a big deal out of one days trading action. Since Covid-19 an interesting dynamic has taken place that has changed the complexion of trading. With the unemployed numbers being so high and stimulus money being supplied a dramatic increase took place in online trading accounts being opened. Consequently, you have a larger populous of flippers the can really effect the markets in more of an extreme way. Regardless, what's going to drive CLWD's share price is "actual" news of company growth. The larger the growth the bigger the gain. I happen to think they're in a unique enough situation that should create the scenario. Time will tell. I'm certainly willing to wait.
Already situated. In the eight figure range with and average share price being .0031. The best part they're all free shares.
End of day closing price will be a good read on the level of interest in CLWD at this point in time. Just how seriously is CLWD being considered by the OTC investor community?
Nice anticipated move.
