    Koop, point taken about emotional conjecture, but killer did as me what I thought and even though I read through a lot of written data, in the end, what we do is based on what we "feel" is the best course of action at the time.... Decisions based on as much fact as can be found (good due diligence) and then make a decision based on what you decide. Call it a feeling or not, its all just an educated guess.... at best.

One thing i have learned is to not love any stock and to have a stop loss on every trade and now i even learned to have a stop loss on my investment account. I left my previous broker because in the dot com meltdown I was calling for him to sell, lighten up in my positions and unfortunately i listened to him and lost BIG..what i learned was that they don't call em a broker for nothing cause that's what they do.. make you broker and broker... Who is gonna look after your dough better that you? I like what i have learned following you, relmore, sl65, tripple8"s and the rest of the merry band of altruistic sirius subscribers who know satrad is , no make that, should be the future way to communicate with the world at any given instant, from radio to tv to broadband wifi...

    pardon the babble folks,
    koop
    long siri due to not sticking with my plan.

    Really, well I will just say this, you had better get a thicker skin. If you think I am going to change, I got news for you. Its not going to happen. I would suggest you just skip my post altogether because it gets worse trust me. Hey cos1000 or killerkaul why dont you tell them how much worse it can get.

    Ladies I suggest you dont read from here on.




    Now on to relmar, You really need to get a grip. First of all we are people that have said we are not professionals just people that have invested alot of time (as for money I dont know what some would call alot). So it is not the responsibility of any of us to take on the burden of anything of anyone else. I personally could careless if people read what I put up. I do it mainly so I can say latter "I told you so", because thats just who I am. As to anyone else that has a problem they can just piss off. Ladies that gos for you to.

I have Etrade also and unless you trade a minimum per quarter, you have to pay a fee for their Power Etrade Platform that will allow same type of trading. I had Scottrade but just wasn't satisfied and dropped them a while ago. I'm sure they have enhanced their trading platforms, but I wouldn't know.....
    I have the Etrade pro platform. I tried again to enter a bid for 100 @0.1252 and an error window pops up saying that I have to enter a 2 decimal digit order. I think I'll call TD Ameritrade and talk to them. Trying to compete with 2 decimal digits when the mm are using 4 is like being in a cage match with both hands tied. Not TOOO GOOOOD!

    this is my last post to you regarding this issue:
    1. If I never write this post then the debate of the issues doesn't take place. I have posted many controversial ideas and in the end, the discussion and debate that follows usually comes to the correct conclusion, as was the case here. BK is a possibility, but not a probability, I will hold my 1/3 position and additional buy that I made on Wednesday, and continue to a full position by the weekend of the 14th. The May debt now has to be resolved before the 17th of March to avoid a default per the "going concern" paragraph.

    2. The article was written by Brandon not me... When Brandon reacted to my thread the way he did, I tried to pull him back from the ledge. He instead decided to jump off the cliff and run with it...... that is on HIM. He has definitely exposed himself as a person lacking credibility and is just another hack IMHO

    3. Whether or not I should have known better is debatable on many levels, but I am not even going to bother with responding..... You are not MY conscience and it is not You that I need to reconcile..... My intentions are to seek answers to question. Hind sight is always 20-20.... and Revisionist History always favors the source....

    4. As far as my trade, It was perfect for me at the time it was made..... The fact that a couple pennies showed up the way it did is irrelevant. Read #3 about Hind Sight.....

    With all of the above said, I am now done with this topic... If you choose to bash me in the future for my topics of discussion that is your prerogative.... Just make sure you have your facts handy when you decide to do that.... I will still be here and trade as I feel is prudent for me and my family... good luck with your trades and I hope on the best for you and your family.....

    If you never write your thread, and bring up the topic, and start nitpicking the every word of the SEC filing in question, would Brandon have ever written his article? .13 should have held in after hours. In fact, it barely did. Thread that broke the camels back? Who knows, you could be responsible for that(due to your influence on Brandon.) He saw a "neat" story around your "due dilegence, and purely innocent work". Nothing is innocent. So if the stock ever goes over .20 cents again, even .14 cents again, you worked AGAINST THOSE efforts. If it goes BK, we can all praise how wonderful you are.
    2. Can anyone for sure say what the effect of the article is to the sp? But more importantly to someones position(anyones position).
    Albeit a little old lady, or a man trying to feed his family. Or a bagholder from premerger.
    And please, answer honestly. What is your part in all this? If you feel nothing, than I would respecfully disagree with you. As your are cos1000, I have taken it easy on you the last couple days. I think everyone knows how I treat bashers(negative posts with no facts to support them).But I can only keep my mouth shut for so long. As you see, Brandon has gone off and been Brandon. Im more angry with him, but YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER IS MY POINT. Your more innocent than I first made you out, for that I apologize. Lets throw your "trade out of it". As its the only conjecture of yours I was critcizing. And it was a bad trade, you could have sold .03 cents higher 10 minutes later. You claimed it was a good trade. I disagree. But thats neither here nor there.

    cos...

    i have to agree with your trade. you made a profit. you may have held a little longer (greed) and unbenownced to anyone the next tic could have been lower. my dad told me years ago after i borrowed my first $500 that any time you make money in the market it is a win. he said that after i made my first double, and a few days, had i left it it would have been a tripple. oh well turning 5 into 10 was better that 5 into .13. LOL

    Cos1000,
    No one blames you for that sheeple idiots journalisim. I for one value the differences of the opinions, and the painstaking detail, presented by all of you whose post I have back read through @april, 2008. Maybe we should move on to bigger and better topics?

    Hey Druid!

    I have Ameritrade Apex as well. I can trade four decimals in level two and had no idea others could not until recently.

    Amertitrade does have a price for the level II service but if you average 5 trades per month over a 3-month period or maintain an account value of $100,000, you'll qualify automatically.

    I just got my priveleges back. They spanked me for trading the same issue too many times in the same day or week, It seems the limit is two and I went three. My guess is that they are trying to prevent wash trades or something.

    Anyhoo....thought I would warn you about that.

    Koop I said this to relmar on 2-28, in the other thread.


    relmar2003, As someone that has been long for some time. I dont think there is anything wrong with buying at .07, .08, .09, and selling at .20 or a little more. I mean I might if the greed monster doesn't grap me by the collar and pull me back down that hole. Now that does not mean I am selling the shares I got at 4, 3.5, 3, 2.5, and I cant go on anymore its making me sick. It just means that 1, 2, or 3 hundred percent is pretty good to make on shares I bought at .07 or at .11 or at .15, once again I cant go on because it is making me sick again. You see I still have the same feeling about the amount of spectrum the company holds that I did when I bought it at 4. The only difference is they just doubled it and took out the only real competition they had in doing so.



    So as you can see I agree.




    Hey koop, leave the kids out of this. Sure those are some ugly PJs. Thats still no reason for you take it out on the kids or the very old man baby sitting them.
