Jiesen, Good job on GMSV. I can't find anything good about this stock. Even the penny stock publications say it is worthless. This slime is really bottom of the barrel. How did you happen to find it?
billyjoe

Apparently, GMSV was just getting started. It's already down 50% today. This is going to hit 0.0002 even sooner than I thought.

guess not, seeing that GMSV is down more than 30% again today. well, that's just par for the course for them... meanwhile CME is up another 6% today! I'm on a roll this week... 2 more days like this and CME is back over 230. I just wish my XING limit had been hit at 8.8 this morning, could have been a trifecta.

oh well, there's always tomorrow, and I still say we'll see 0.0002 for GMSV.

[billyjoe]

Only one day left and this contest is history. Today's standouts:

Gatorman
CMN + 3.31%

New-Born
FDG +2.11%

Jiesen
GMSV short +33.3% this won't stop until it hits 0
SYNA +1.96 adding insult to injury

It looks like a slam dunk for Jiesen especially with GMSV's news that they purchased a fleet of FIAT trucks to haul their Hazmat waste. Final numbers tomorrow and start getting your list together for next week.

Mid-day not much action:

Scifos
short CRA +2.12%
short CRGN +2.03

billyjoe

[jiesen]

well, blow me down. GMSV actually ended up 25% today. Though I suspect a little foul play here, since 17 trades at 0.0004 preceded the final $40 purchase at 0.0005 (wow, that's a lot of money to entrust with GMSV), I can take it, since that still puts me at a 55% gain for the week.

Speaking of the week, it looks like the minority rules again, as the bulls beat back the bears for the first time this year! Maybe there's something to be said for going against the masses, eh?

We have a winner in week 2 of "Portfolio of the Week"

Final Standings
1. Jiesen $12,650 GMSV one not so great little stock
2. IIC 10667 Came on strong, but ran out of time
3. New-Born 10037 A good steward of the $ given him
4. Gatorman 10025 ARLP faded at the end
5. Scifos 9804 The past champs shorts went long and longs went short

So Jiesen gambles some pennies and wins $2725. Had I put all my assets in shorting GMSV at the beginning of this week I could have retired 3 years earlier, but no I'll be digging latrines for 8 more years. Don't feel bad for me I occasionally get to take a break and shovel snow for relaxation. Now we need 4 challengers to take on Jiesen. Can he become the first to ever defend his title?
billyjoe

[jiesen]

yes, since I will play this game every week despite the detriment to my productivity. I WON! YIPPEE!!!

[New-born baby]

Foul!!! Foul!!!! I Protest!!!!!!!

BillyJoe,

I play this game under protest! You cannot short shares under $5 on Scottrade, and with the new shorting rules, I dare say that not one single broker on earth would allow anyone to short that crummy, cheap, penny stock!

[If anyone thinks I actually care--think again. I am just practicing complaining].

Remember when Geo. Brett smacked a game winning homer vs. the Yanks, and as he crossed home plate, Billy Martin went out to the umpires and complained that the pine tar was too high on the bat, making the bat illegal, and voiding the home run? He won his protest. And I want to win mine!

[billyjoe]

I protest Jiesen and New-Born. Jiesen, I don't know where you got that quote.Look at the time of my post and the time of your "quote billyjoe post" and read the figures again. New-Born, give me any trouble and I'll take away my "good steward" quote and anyway what's Scottrade got to do with anything? You are a man of the cloth. Why can't we all just get along?

actually, the MM's trading GMSV are all trading naked shorts with each other. rules for NASDAQ and NYSE stocks don't apply to OTCBB stocks, and with enough money, some brokers will let you short just about anything.

case in point, more shares typically traded in a single trade of GMSV than were currently outstanding (or they did when it was possible to know how many shares were issued and outstanding- this was before the name change to GMSV).

oh yeah, and how dare you tarnish the good name of penny stocks everywhere by calling GMSV one. micropenny, or perhaps even nanopenny would be a more appropriate term.

to what quote do you refer? I'm confused.
