Don't do it on my account; much as I appreciate the stylish composition, settings, lighting, artistically done symbolism, and a hot babe, I was more wondering if there were decorum concerns expressed.

Lot of sites, it would not be out of the realm for that to happen.
Oh...I enjoy doing it just fine!

You're spot on in all that is present in those shots. Certainly...when first posting them...it was like a "toe-dip" trade. Most responses were positive. Never heard a negative comment, really. One or two vanished in the "cleanup" vacuum (but they were pretty edgy), but it was a silent vanishing.

Not trying to push the envelope with it either; we all know how much would be too much. I personally think they speak much louder by not giving everything away, anyway. Just a smile, and a nod to many things beautiful.

It is. My Texan is still not up to fluency. Here's part of what I do know:

tahr - Rubber or composite road contact interfaces of an auto.
tahr - Petroleum based road surface.
tahr - Metal structure used, e.g., in electronic communications.
Royalty Trust - Royalty Trust.


Brilliant!

LOL, if you can't sell off your dogs, then sell what you can.
Yep, it's the one asset class that everyone holding for any period of time at all would certainly have been in profit.

Pump and dump over on BLOAQ I truly do feel for those that are going to hold onto this play until it goes to nothing ness... In-fact, have two of those sitting in my account from the early days as a reminder...



Pennies aren't for the faint of heart, scams are rampant on them too... The ones that I was referring to in my initial post in this thread... hehe...

One day, i'll use them as a write off.

EIGH8000 Inc Common : -97.26%
CDIVCascadia Investments Inc : -98.94%

Got to learn somewhere though.

I have taken most off...

Not really a pump and dump by the traditional sense, but more of aspiring hopefulls trying to capitalize on the next Google or Microsoft stock that ain't quite there yet.

Ya see V, what happened to this play, was a sneak a peak at a press release to gain some volume and some uptickery. It wasn't because the tout stopped that the value started to drop, it was because of a counter press release....

Check it out, HERE.

The fact that they aren't really going after the Netflix market but only to introduce this to their current subscribers was what I figure the reason for the panic sells and the lack of interest. This press release came only 2 hours after the primary which really started to get the ball a rolling.

Now, the way I see it...

There are some 14 million DishNet subs, so that is a market place that is pretty fecking grand as far as things go. From there, every merchant that sells the DishNet equip will have this same service as an add on to the sell.

Now, BLOAQ, the previous Blockbuster went bust meaning that all of their earnings went from what they had to complete fuck all in no time flat.

The pinksheets...

Given the value of the stock as of current, the only place it could reach into is the Pinkies or the OTCBB. To gain regular listing, it would have to become a full reporting company and of course get the price a little higher. Now, there are most likely still zillions of outstanding naked shorts, (Not sure if this is listed on the Frankfurt exchange), but even if is, it is now owned by a rather large company, (DishNetwork), whose intent will be to keep this pig afloat.

Why?

Glad you asked.

As Dishnet is a satellite company they currently only have 1 way communication with their customers and that is a recieve only on the way of the subscribers. Opening up streaming and rentals helps them to augment their capital on not losing out to other streaming companies like netflix or apple. Of course there will always be the piracy thang and people downloading torrents and movies, but I would still say that given the immediate release dates on rentals, purchase and streaming, prices have come down and people are a little more patient when comes time to actually own or watch a quality version of this at home.

Really, who the fuck wants to go to the theatre, spend ungawdly money on watching the absolute garbage that has been released over the last decade. I can honestly say that if I had paid to go to a theater in the last 10 years, I would be demanding my money back, not only for admission but for the soaking I got on the popcorn and soda while in attendance.

Okay, so what?

Well, think of it like this. The economy is shit. I don't think there really are many better examples of this then this current last week. The metals seeing prices they haven't seen in how long? Gold has been projected at what $2400 by the end of this year and it just dropped from high to low close to $200. Silver has seen a 40% fall of highs....anyways, what I am saying is that the people who purchase the large entertainment centers for their homes are the people who actually want to stay home and use them, not hit the theatre for their entertainment. When ya can drop a quick $50 and have wings and beer for the boys while renting an online game and call it a weekend it really beats the fuck outa hitting a hun for a night on the town with the ole lady...okay, for the gals, really...let the cheap sonofabitch take you out for a nice meal instead of some boring piece of tripe starring overpaid and undertalented actors and actresses and when he wants to have an evening in, he ain't checking out the huneys at the local watering hole on a boys night out.

Okay...so, bottom line...

BLOAQ was an anticipated gold mine and might still be. They gotta gain some earnings, press into the public for additional subs and because we are coming into the Christmas months, this is the season for all of this shit to happen. Keep an eyeball on BLOAQ. Once they drop the Q and start showing a little market cap, there will be money to be made here.

As a quickie reference, check out the association of GZFX from prior as a release into BestBuy. Money all the way around.

Them other peices of shit you are holding onto and will never escape from, well, most likely the truer sense of the pumps and dumps. No bid side, some sneaky fucker waltzing in buying up a couple million shares and running a promo on it to liquidate his position for profit, only to once the dance is over to go back to a No Bid piece of shit.

Been there, done that...Still gotta couple Bags of my own.

Not really a pump and dump by the traditional sense...a No Bid piece of shit.
One of the best damned pieces of securities analysis I've ever read. If Uncle Warren, who claims to owe all of his success to Ben Graham, had Magix to give him analysis, he might not have 5B in a stock that touched below 6 bucks today before the knife catchers dragged the flat cat up a couple dimes.

But common sense is not for everyone, so, in the interest of those who might feel more secure with Street-speak, I've taken the liberty of translating for them:

Magix:

No bid side, some sneaky fucker waltzing in buying up a couple million shares and running a promo on it to liquidate his position for profit, only to once the dance is over to go back to a No Bid piece of shit.

Street-speak:

Many client portfolios have holdings of issues with significant forward-looking revenue impairments, and sufficiently low liquidity that inclusion of them in current-period portfolio revision lists is likely not prudent at this time. Many of these may have been acquired during periods of market exuberance, augmented by un-audited revenue forecasts provided by parties who, in hindsight, may not have been completely disinterested, resulting in potential analytic omissions which impacted the efficacy of the forecasts. Further, it is possible that the current liquidity impairments may persist, even as the prospects of the companies in question continue to linger.

Just trying to help.

Slower?

I need a robust do-anything go-anywhere charting/backtesting/electronic trading platform and naturally I am too stupid to develop one myself, but why bother as there are many off the shelf anyway? Multicharts looks good - just wondered if any of these bastards used it & what they thought of it.

yes , conflicts at the peak & a different beast may come into the scene . bad sign recently , usdx broken the last limit upside taken for long time & so unlimited pullback possible & eu broken in toto the upside limits with bull confirmation but tanked heavily thereafter suggesting actually not in impulse down rather BIG C started down as looking for new C noted( one already taken up ) for long back also . so bad dreams started come true !!
just checking gbpusd & same picture in eu also , not unlikely & so next big move towards 3053 , if fail take off now .and looking for new C at the very bottom also not impossible !!
