So I guess my ignorance thought that you got the bid and all the orders and then the sells and if they match, you have an order.

So my guess is a MM is watching all the bids and ask and see the demand out there and they hold their buy information at one price and see if they can find ways to make the buys happen at a lower price.

What I don't understand is how can they force someone to sell at a certain level. Do they find clients who don't watch their money and show a 100% return to sell at one price so they can buy for another at a higher price and pocket the spread?

Yes. They want buys at the lowest price possible. Sometimes MMs will work with you after a long time of churning at a certain level. They'll let the thing run for a bit.

Do they find clients who don't watch their money and show a 100% return to sell at one price so they can buy for another at a higher price and pocket the spread? Retail MMs can't do that like institutionals can, but Retail MMs can make it look like that by swapping shares with other MMs at a lower price. It gives the trader the false alert of a sell off. Swapping shares at bid or below should be illegal.

LOL... had to get the post count off of 666...

You are the antichrist.

He is until this thing hits $40.

NOT ONLY was it the 666th post in this thread, Levins, that was YOUR 666th post!!

SELL! EVERYONE!

I'm going to church tonight.... WOW!

I think Levins planned that from the start. He was looking for some topic to make it all match up.

I bet Levins doesn't even have shares in FTCH, just needed a good story.

Levins,

Dunk your entire head in holy water when you get there.

I'm baptizing myself in holy water, I may bring the soap and loofa to scrub myself!

That is just creepy.

i thought we were getting a PR this week??

It still isn't out of the woods today. All I have is approximates on launches and releases.

They said that Ascend would be ready to launch by the end of May.

I figured that and the release of the financials would be two seperate releases (read up several posts on the last page or one before), and it still might transpire that way. I assumed that Ascend was going to be a PR this week, but it would make sense (as well) to have multiple PRs next week detailing the launch, financials and Interaction successes. It would make for a crazy week IMO.

at this point, just a green week would be nice

email sent aggz.

I'm in at .065. That tax refund check is going to good use!

The features are great, but look at the accounting and maintenance features. A poster who is big in his HOA pointed out to me that HOAs tend to spend most of their time on the maintenance portion.

RTGV took a tumble today on no apparent news.

someone flipped and sold at bid.... I'm not worried about RTGV, cause when the merger is signed in 2-3 weeks in London, the Euros will be in a bidding war with us, and that will be fun.

Doubled my shares today on a great buying opportunity in the .06's. Time for this thing to takeoff!!!

Yay! A green day! Even if only a little bit!

Yep, green day... I've been distracted by our imploding Baseball team and the chicken littles on the Baseball board

Weren't the chicken littles proven correct today?

J/K, our team made a valiant effort in the end, but too little too late. Piss poor bottom of the 8th by our 1,2,3 hitters. Let's win this one through the losers bracket now.

Back to our stock of choice: Lowered my averaged share price from .15 to .0802 on 5 separate purchases over the last couple of weeks. This dip (let's pray that is all it is) has allowed me to grab a fairly healthy position in terms of my play money. If this stock touches double digit $$'s in the next couple of years, I'm paying off my house!

Oh, they were right... It was just comical when it was 9 to 1... Its why I try to avoid the football board at all costs during the season.


Didn't know if you guys caught this... Frank laid out a rough timeline for the rest of the year in regards to product releases. I think this sets up the numbers release next week.

F3 Technologies, Inc. CEO Discusses Strategy for Remainder of 2009
Market Wire

As of 3:58 PM ET 5/29/09
F3 Technologies, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: FTCH) CEO Frank Connor opens up about some of the company's strategies and goals for the remainder of 2009.

For the remainder of 2009 F3 Technologies will continue to revolutionize the way users and business use the Internet. With a clear market trend pointing towards increased adoption of software-as-a-service (SaaS) and cloud computing applications, the company is positioned well to capitalize on growing business opportunities in the community, business, and entertainment industries. CEO Frank Connor has set forth an aggressive development schedule for the team with an eye on bringing several new revenue generating products to market before the close of 2009.

In the next few months the company will be launching three new products on its Ascend platform to attract new business customers.

Ascend SkyBox (http://www.ascendskybox.com) will seamlessly combine a company's website, inventory management, point of sale, and CRM under one online umbrella. Companies will no longer have to run four independent platforms to accomplish the basic business functions of growing sales, processing orders, tracking product inventory, and managing and marketing to their customer base.

Ascend Insight will unlock the creative side of a company's workforce and let it identify the innovative ideas that will help catapult it to the next level.

Ascend Share will automate the distribution of information throughout a business and keep everybody in tune on company projects and strategies.

Throughout most of 2008 and 2009 the company has been very aggressive in launching the Interaction Community System product and is very pleased by its current functionality levels. Although development for Interaction will continue indefinitely, all core functionality will be in place by the end of June 2009 signaling the end of the Interaction 2.0 development cycle.

The company plans to target a wider range of community types including cities and other municipalities, mega churches, companies (employees and consumers), universities, PTAs, and property management companies. The company will also be launching a stripped down version of Interaction later in the year to compete directly with other social networking sites like Facebook and MySpace.

FargoTube will see major development start back up in July 2009 with a re-launch expected in late August 2009. The re-launch will mark a targeted effort towards the entertainment industry with a new spin on how to best monetize video content on the web. Multiple FargoTube spin-offs are expected before the close of 2009. Details on these new product offerings will be revealed at the appropriate times.

With the new product offerings and sales efforts forthcoming, the company and its management are highly confident we will be able to show continued growth throughout the 2009 and 2010 calendar years.

So, is this news gonna make it plummet like the last couple of announcements? I had thought about doubling up each time to get some extra shares before it took off, but I guess it's a good thing I didn't...so far.

Have a question as to why the MMs would be playing games with trying to keep the price down. I realize they want to buy low and sell higher, but are they just trying to accumulate as many as possible now so they can sell once it gets to $.50, $1, $5+? Or are they just trying to sell for a 10-20% gain each time? I would think that they would be just as happy if it kept gradually climbing because they could keep their profit margin as it kept climbing. But I really don't understand how the MMs process works.

Also, if there is a quote of .065 x .07, is that strictly the MMs or does it include my bid and/or ask? For example, if that was the quote, would it be possible for me to have a .068 bid and you to have a .069 ask, or would our bid/ask prices then reflect a quote of .068 x .069, assuming we were highest bid and lowest ask? Guess I'm basically asking if the L2 quotes that show include retail investors bid/asks or just MMs.

FTCH

So, I shouldn't have invested my life savings, my mom's life savings, and maxed out the cash limit on my credit card investing in this stock?

TAG = FTCHscam.

At least he finally grew up enough to post under a "real" handle. Too bad he's still a jerk. It's one thing to post constructive debate fodder...it's another to just be a jackass.

I have no clue what you are trying to say in your writings to me.

Very poor communication skills on your part.

I would guess you majored in liberal arts.

You are a real life creep, trying to draw attention to yourself with comparing ANYTHING to the sexually abusement of young children.

My apologies to Levins for the past comments. I just saw some red flags about ihub and needed to ask some questions about it.

I am back in at .065!

So Levins, how many companies do you see like this that are legit that start at .002 w/ a billion shares outstanding and are legit companies. How many companies trade on the pink sheets are legit. Is a good number legit?

FTCH is a sucker bet

How many pinks are a good (hell I wouldn't say good, I'd say legitimate) bet? Maybe 2%....

Most pinks are companies that are shells, or are companies that have Q listed and gone bankrupt. If you're going to play in the pinks, you might as well play them as momo plays, and play with money that you can afford to lose.

There are a handful of startups in the pinks, and of those startups, probably 10-20% are legit for explosive growth.... I think FTCH is one of those because they have product(s) that are in great need.



Thanks for dumping all over my thread Tag... glad to see you haven't changed much...
