Another E-coli outbreak Karney can PR

CHICAGO (Reuters) - At least 19 people have become sick with suspected cases of E. coli after eating at a fast food restaurant in eastern Iowa, local health officials said on Saturday.


"What we have is suggestive of E.coli, but we do not at this point have a confirmatory test," Tom O'Rourke, director of the Black Hawk County Health Department, said. Final test results are expected Monday.

He said 14 of the people who became ill have been hospitalized.

O'Rourke said he could not identify the restaurant where the people ate, but said it had been sanitized and all the food replaced.

An outbreak of E. coli bacteria linked to Taco Bell fast food this week sickened 63 people in six states, U.S. health officials said on Friday. About 49 people have been hospitalized and seven have experienced kidney failure.

The U.S.
Food and Drug Administration said it expected the number of confirmed cases to increase in the next few days, since a number of other cases were being investigated.

Shares of Taco Bell parent Yum Brands fell more than 2.2 percent on Friday after an analyst downgraded the stock and raised concerns that the outbreak could have a significant impact on its sales.

Escherichia coli is a usually harmless bacteria found in the guts of animals, including humans. A new and pathogenic strain called E. coli O157:H7 was identified in 1982. It causes about 73,000 cases of infection and 61 deaths in the United States each year.

Most illness has been associated with undercooked, contaminated ground beef. But if contaminated manure gets into irrigation water or is used in fertilizer, it can get onto fresh produce or into the water supply.

Yikes, Investor100 - 5M @ 0.08 = $400,000, or, 5M @ 0.008?

Here is what I learned really fast since my penny career started last November.

Assumtion based on $10,000 play money:

When you buy (not invest) shares in the 0.5 + range - sell
after the stock goes up around 3-7 pennies or so.
$10,000/0.5 = 20,000 shares X 3-5 pennies profit($600-$1,400) is a nice enough slot machine sound in my ear. I don't care if the stock goes up another 0.1 or 0.20 afterwards. I feel happy right there.

When you buy (not invest) shares in the 0.1 + range - sell quickly after the stock goes up just a penny or two.
$10,000/0.1 =100,000 shares X 1-2 pennies ($1,000-$2,000) is a nice enough slot machine sound in my ear.

When you buy (not invest) shares in the 0.01 + range - sell quickly after the stock goes up just 2-4 tenth of a penny.
$10,000/0.01 =1,000,000 shares X 2-4 tenth of a penny ($2,000-$4,000) is a nice enough slot machine sound in my ear.

When you buy (not invest) shares in the 0.001 + range - sell quickly after the stock goes up just 2-4 hundredth of a penny.
$10,000,000/0.001 = 10,000,000 shares X 2-4 hundredth of a penny ($2,000-$4,000) is a nice enough slot machine sound in my ear.

Now, I have been where you are with DCBI and HISC. Waiting and waiting to see my money disapear. I woke up July this year and did the following:

Fact 1.) I have a life trading platform with Charles Schwab. I can see buys and sells in real-time. I can trade in real-time too.

Fact 2.) A stock that consistently sinks over a period of time is an awesome target because of its daily/weekly high/lows.

Fact 3.) I had to originally sell with a great loss to make some money back. That was the difficult part.

Now lets assume you originally spent 5M X 0.008 = $40,000

Now, lets assume you sell 750,000 shares at 0.0015 = $1,125.
Rebuy at 0.0011 - (assuming $10.00 commission per trade) = $1,105/0.0011 = 1,045,000 shares. Gain = 250 + thousand shares. Now you own 5,250,000 shares. $40,000/5,250,000 shares = cost average of 0.076.

I sold every morning after the stock went up a little and re-bought the same day lower and therefore gaining more and more free shares. The weired thing is, I never had to wait for my money to clear for three days because I sold and rebought the same stock!! I got in trouble selling one stock and than buing another the same day without waiting the three days. Sold HISC to get into PDSC. Now I was barred from day-trading for 90 days until December 17. I am ready to rock-and-roll next week again cost averaging down to the pits.

Man, sitting around sweating is not for me. I am ready to cost average down from my 0.0033 to 0.001 at least.
