good morning i have another theory on why a great company like tcbg isn't going up and there are several parts to it. firstly though, i don't mind a rumor here and there in fact i heard sai's theory before, even heard the dates are 8/13-8/17 so we will know soon enough, i just don't post something like that without something to back it up, i.e. level four printouts showing who and how much is being shorted, a copy of a dtc showing cert transfer request, a copy of court documents filed in nyc showing judges order to deliver tcbg shares, some verifiable sign of short covering in the market place which i could document and prove on this thread. However i don't have any of those things so i didn't post the info i had received. it has to do with a posters credibility, how many times can someone post a blockbuster like 2.5 mil share short pos'n has to be covered this week before people stop listening, just resent a trial member with not one piece of dd posted anywhere on si, coming on this thread giving out other stock picks and calling a non-verifieable rumor, news. i requested sai to post the source of his news or hard copy, still hasn't posted, there is a credibility issue there, imo Cavalry

Why price isn't rising, in my opinion only 1) seems to me most bb investors don't use any money management 2) instead of using a percent of bankroll/portfolio on each purchase they are racing from hot stock to hot stock 3) people think this a quick result type of thing as opposed to a long term investment 4) sometimes a companies success can't be visually seen in days or weeks, sometimes it takes months or years and small investors get bored and move on quickly. 5) people who chase from stock to stock just get eaten up by bid/ask spread, for example in on Monday at $1.43, better rumor by thursday somewhere else out at $1.37, repeat this ten or twenty times multiplied by 100's of investors this can drain liquidity out of any market. 6)many attracted to pennies are undercapitalized in some respect and are forced to fold too soon 7)many people won't invest without seeing financials 8)people don't realize how many luches walmart and winn dixie sell a week 9)people dont see how much better ripitsipit is than competition 10)some people were put off by extra shares in float, however if they got a hard copy fax from ta they would see this is a non-issue 11)this stock is still sitting on a double from less than 3 months ago more to add later enjoy the weekend all jesse
