fwiw - took a position today long on HSOA at 2.52. It's another very much bashed stock. Have been writing puts given large premiums. The premiums are less now so I decided to go long.

OT:I was thinking about buying some OSTK too earlier but didn't. Wonder how that will end up. They have until Nov. 19th right? Then if they have a certain number of shares shorted they are unable to trade in the security until the trades are covered. If Patrick Bryne owns most of the shares how will they be able to cover after selling at least one or two times the float? This will be very interesting to see what really happens. I'm still holding my RMTR long. They jumped about a dollar in the last couple weeks. I'm so proud of it. I have held it so long I almost feel like it's like my dog or something. They finally have products going to market so maybe, just maybe some of my dreams will come true. I feel like it should be trading for at least $8 and after this news probably $10 now. MM'S have been holding it down for a long time and love people who put in stop losses. They steal those shares back all the time. GLTY. Thanks for your messages. I appreciate you.

i've been watching ... a new twist surfaced yesterday, ms remond reported about a counter claim that apparently hadn't been filed yet. Message 24018300 remember the journalists that were subpoenaed by the san francisco sec, but the washington sec over rode those subpoenas? according to herb there were 5 stocks and 5 sources the sec had demanded all unpublished communications. one of those stocks was ostk, one of the sources gradient analytics.
