On the other hand if I invest enough to own 51% of the company then I get to start calling the shots , right . I could force them into the boar semen business and make them place orders for 1000's of doses a week. Then I could hire more help at my farm and sit back on my boat while everyone else is jerking off the livestock.

See what a small investment can do.

Man, then you'd have to do disclosures when you bought or sold stock and a bunch of fucking rules. You get 6 guys to buy 10% and then get them to put a director on the board that will force the semen industry entry.

THAT'S how you hostile takeover, son. :-)

I got in for 200 shares at 30 bucks. Sold half when it doubled, so I am in strictly with my gains on the remaining 100 shares.

So it looks like it hasn't been more than $0.03 per share since 2008, which is nearly a decade ago. What makes you think it's ready to explode? I mean, it's great that it's apparently now producing revenues (which apparently it wasn't for a while), but...?

And yeah, CP could go a GoFundMe and probably buy the whole company. LOL.

I like that strategy. I do something similar when I get a good gain.
[Reply]

It was $0.03 in 2008? So if you bought in 2008, you lost 98% of your investment? Hog Farmer is a brave dude buying low.

Let the winners ride and cut your losses quick. That is the advice of most top-notch money managers yet us amateurs do the OPPOSITE! We think a stock can't go any lower so we ride it into the ground and lose all our money. On the other side, we panic when a stock gets so high and think it's done rising and it goes up another 20-30%, giving up huge profits.

If you paid $4.36 for a single CALL option contract, which equals $436 for controlling 100 shares and the stock is roughly $18.20 today, if the stock goes to $23-$24 within the next 6 months, you will double your money.

Why? Because the option would be around $8-$8.50 as you would be much closer to the $30 strike with plenty of time left.

Make sense?

I got balls of steel !

I hope it goes back to $0.03 for you. You'll be lighting cigars with $100 bills.

Good God.

You people aren't seriously putting money on PNOW, are you?
[Reply]

You want 51% of the votes. All shares aren't created equal! They probably have a poison pill and they'd just dilute your shares if you got over x% anyway.

I looked at pnow. It seems they have some revenue growth recently and are issuing preferred shares to long term investors. It seems their core business of booking hotel rooms sucked but they bought some coin company that is doing better? I'm not real familiar with the (rare?) coin business or why it's profitable.

I learned what the word numismatics means.
[Reply]

errr...actually it is. Price per share times number of shares outstanding is market cap, as I'm sure you know, and is what the market thinks the company is worth. Typically when someone wants to buy the company -- in a going private transaction or otherwise -- then they offer to pay some premium to the market cap to entice a high enough percentage of the stockholders to sell and then they can clean up the rest.

So yeah, it's not a PRECISE indicator of value, but it's the BEST indicator of value on any given day.

I saw a statement where they'd made revenues four months in a row. That's serious progress. (Note that it's not a particular amount of revenue, just revenue.)

And check out this statement:

To bring Pure's numismatic market's value into perspective, just this past week, Heritage Auctions -- a platform where Pure's subsidiary, Meso Numismatics, will soon offer its collections -- exceeded sales of over $65M for the week, simply selling numismatic material.

I can do them even better. My company purchases our office supplies on amazon.com, which has revenues of over $107 BILLION. What does that say for the market prospects of my company?
