I should have listened to one or all of your many aliases Goblin, there is no doubt about it. I'd be buying flat out at 23c today if I had. Ah well, thems the breaks. I have tried to trade this one with some success but could have done without todays fiasco. Still, I've been in and out since 8c so perhaps not such a blow. Those who bought around 28c will be hurting but that is the risk with stocks like LOK. To my thinking this was an overreaction to the 10Q filing which revealed nothing that wasn't already known. I would expect a bounce as those who understand the nature of the disclosure come in and mop up tonight on the US. Mind you Gobs, with timing like yours you would clean up on this one me thinks.

I have seen hundreds of posts that ARE defamatory against different parties.
My conscience is clear; I don't feel any remorse about what I posted. Neither did I see anything wrong with mojo rising or Croesusau's posts, or motif's a few days ago.
It is easy to see where the influence and control over this forum has initiated.
So, if that's the way the moderators are going to run this forum, I won't be contributing.

Why we still can't prevent flash crashes
February 22, 2011 11:47 am
Although regulators have put small changes in place in the U.S. markets since last May's flash crash, our hyper-wired interconnected markets still aren't equipped to prevent another one.
By David Leinweber, contributor
There are more than a few weird moments in the history of markets and computers. Two UCLA students used 125 stock board messages to send a dead penny stock up more than 106,600% one morning more than a decade ago. A Google "oops" moment that accidentally revived and re-disseminated some 6-year-old bad news sent United Airlines (UAL) down 77% in a matter of minutes in 2008.
But the grand prize in Computerized Market Weirdness has to go to the May 6, 2010 flash crash, when the Dow tanked 998.5 points (9.5%) in minutes, and then recovered just as rapidly minutes later. Looking at individual stocks shows an even weirder picture. Accenture (ACN) dropped from $40 to one cent, in three seconds.
And now, 10 months later, we still don't have a system to prevent other potentially crippling crashes. This will take some time to get right, but forward motion has lagged. An NSF Workshop in July headed by Nobel Economist Robert Engle made succinct clear recommendations that dealt with the central economic and computer issues, but the process seems stalled. Late last week, a committee headed by regulators at the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodities Futures Trading Commission issued a report with 14 recommendations to limit huge swings in prices. These include changes to access, routing systems and creating a consolidated audit trail to detect trading abuses. Some viewed it as insufficient to really instigate systemic changes. Many considered it to be a step in the right direction, and the report is commendably open about the questions and many uncertainties relating to these suggestions.
Not enough is said about the ability of the federal agencies involved to analyze and understand change that could have further unintended consequences. Current technology has progressed so rapidly that the available tools, some with roots back to the 1980s, are unsuitable for the current century.
Market participants and regulators need to understand complex electronic markets, which are capable of potentially dangerous behavior. While May 6 is the poster child example, professional traders report a continuing series of "mini flash crashes" in stocks and other securities ? shares of Apple (AAPL) experienced one earlier this month. They have become sufficiently common that the phase "flash crash du jour" comes up on trader websites.
This isn't just about arcane systems glitches. If flash crash activity were to be become more frequent, the market's role in providing capital and the broad economy would suffer.
How did we get here? Why are our markets surprising us so often? The world's complex interconnected, ever faster electronic markets were not designed -- they just happened. And they demonstrate a worrisome capacity for flaky behavior. These "big data" markets are hard to understand, and even harder to analyze. It takes many months just to get traction on analyzing a single incident. Simulating possible incidents isn't on the menu.
CFTC Chairman Gary Gensler said that one reason it took so long to conduct the review is because it was an "enormous" effort to collect and analyze all the trading data on May 6. SEC Chairperson Mary Schapiro estimated the flow rate of the data stream: "We need? capability to receive something on the order of 20 terabytes of data in a month," Schapiro said. A great deal of the nation's ability to deal with crises of this sort will depend on technological innovation.
There is a long sad history of large-scale federal information technology flame-outs. Tapes buried in the tundra. Billions of dollars have gone into the bit bucket. We need to make sure we get this one right.
Big data doesn't always fail
There are also, encouragingly, examples of successful "Big Data" technological transformations in other fields, particularly astronomy and earth sciences. Many times the volumes of data are collected, curated, and available quickly for modern approaches to visualization, simulation and analysis. Literally billions of federal research has flowed into these areas going back to the 1960s.
Fields once characterized by fragmented, scattered incompatible data have "been there and done that" on solving their big data challenges. Supercomputers and software literally millions of times more capable than those used for current financial tools have played key roles.
Regulators hoping to make a similar leap in technology should start by considering a broader set of market risks, and clearly spelling out the right questions we need future analysis systems to answer. Then let the technology come from that, not from what's on the shelf. Here are some questions to get started:
* Enforcement. How can you spot a market manipulator who works in microseconds, working similar scams across markets and different securities?
* Systemic Structural Risk. How can we know if the complex interactions between market centers have become a source of systemic risk due to unanticipated interactions between those systems when they are operating as designed? Much of the flash crash analysis is here.
* Systemic Implementation Risk. Same question as above, but recognizing that markets are built on real computers, with delays, crashes, races, slow-downs and all the ailments and errors that occur in real plugged-into-the wall IT machinery. Some people argue this played a role in the big crash. No one argues that it couldn't cause the next one.
* Policy. Can we simulate, analyze, model and visualize what would happen if we make changes in the rules? Avoid unintended consequences.
* Financial cyber-attack. One of the worst calls the heads of the SEC/OFR/CFTC could get is "Are our markets under attack?" If that happened, test probes would certainly precede it. Could we know if that was happening in time to take any action?
A business-as-usual update of fragmented problematic systems is a recipe for disaster. I know a guy with a "Send lawyers guns and money" ringtone. Substitute "accountants" for "guns", and I fear we have a description of a likely approach to tackling the challenges of 21st century financial information. We need to recognize this for what it is -- one of the most important computer science challenges we face, and we need to expand the team to include the A-list of "big data" supercomputing if we hope to succeed.

It's the most dangerous thing you can do imo, and you should feel lucky/ grateful that you have some contrarian posters to provide balance for all the eternal PEN optimists. But what would I know?
PEN is very tradable, but not out of the woods by a long way imo.- *Removed* this post has been removed from public view

I'm in the same boat having traded PEN from time to time.
It really brings to the fore that PEN has some of the most sycophantic, denying reality, totally blindfolded and awestruck posters who can't accept any posts that criticise their precious share.
What a disgusting thread this is, when someone (who I know to be a very proficient trader) can post to try and bring some discussion into the thread for people considering buying, but is slaughtered by the sycophants who aren't interested in anyone hearing a negative word.
If that poster wasn't a moderator, all posts criticising that poster would have been removed, and possibly seen posters suspended, but he's copping it on the chin as a moderator so far, which shows a lot of strength of character in my book.
Shame on many of you.- *Removed* this post has been removed from public view

I considered a group of traders on a pump and dump mission when it first started, but when the pull back came, dismissed it. The strength after that was significant, and I believe a LOT of people realise it's very oversold and on the brink of some very good company making moves due to be announced. Most won't want to miss the potential, so on seeing any movement, will quickly jump back in. That's no pump and dump.- *Removed* this post has been removed from public view

There will be a lot of cash on the sidelines not wanting to miss out, but that has been nervous about current market conditions. Movement in stock price is enough to bring that money back in. Nothing to do with management, just investor psychology imo.

Do you have a 2.7 million deposit for a new home?
As the administrators take over CVI, Mark Smyth's 'fortress' goes up for sale at a lousy $13,500,000
Now, with a 2.7million deposit, and interest rate of 7.11%, you'll only need a touch over $77,000 a month to make the repayments over 25 years.
Feeling sick enough yet?
Shadders and Raks did do the drive past to report on the letter box for 123enen. I remember it well from just after the EGM days.
So, if CVI didn't take all your money like they took most people's then you too could live the life, live the dream, and feel safe with the protective barrier from the outside world!
Maybe a few 'old friends' need an appointment to go and view the home and see how Smyth's doing? Is the dementia well advanced yet? Any house guests? Malcolm Johnson, Anton Tarkanyi, excelsior perhaps?
To make your appointment for Perthites, and just for a sick session for others:

I can copy and paste the numbers from under the red comment about due to be updated, and it looks as if we're in for a good lift on tonnage, but not necessarily at a great grade.
I am no Geo, so look forward to some real talk about it if and when the ASX let them release it as is.
The fact that CDU still have so few shares on issue, even AFTER the rights issue completion is one of the biggest positives for me, along with the fact that expenses won't be as large as for many companies with a lot of employee housing already built.
Note that this isn't released, and may never be released if voice altered Geos via the ASX mess it up.
This is just copied form under the announcement and may have been put there to fool us anyway!

Right now, imo it's a buy.
What does that have to do with anything else?
Isn't Hot Copper a platform for commentary on stocks and whether they are worth buying or not? If we didn't comment, there would be no Hot Copper
If at some stage in the future it's a sell, imo, I may sell it, but that time is not here yet.
Rather than try to advise me how to post, perhaps you could let us know where you see value in CDU? Do you wait for it to be proven and moving up again?
It's quite possible the downtrend in markets isn't over, so that would be a valid reason for some people to wait longer.
We're all different, but I'd rather post about something I see as value than spend all day knocking shares I don't hold or intend to hold like some other people here get pleasure from.

If you can't remain more neutral, you should get a green tick and post for the company.
You simply can't give a value on it without ALL the information.
Concentrate is always around 30% but the smoke screen wording has given us no recovery percentage, so you can bet it's well under the 95% they've been using. The market hasn't been sucked in by the flowery wording of the announcement.- *Removed* this post has been removed from public view

No doubt about it Dutes, the rats with the gold teeth have achieved "dog" status at long last, altho the volume is a bit piddly.
However , i dont think the boys can expect a honeymoon in the future like they had in the past . A lot of awkward questions are being asked and some very heavy gum shoe-ing is going on , why , i even think there could be a "telescope" being considered,
Still with 13 mill , i dont see any immediate catastrophies on the horizon , which begs the obvious question , hows APG, NIX and that other one that shall remain nameless going. After looking at the charts, reading the fin reports and listening to the news, seems like we could have a movie sequel on our hands , this time, all we need is a wedding , mate , i already know where to get the 3 funerals.
Cheers

Yep, I agree. I know the people as well. They have a whole heap of old TEC ground. Its a great hit. and I think they are continuing the drilling.

These were the first 3 posts ever on CSE.
Although Dezneva only posted "...I know the people as well...", I can see how you may have remebered that as "...the boss being a good bloke..."
Problem is, it was Bendigo he was replying to and not you!
How do you explain that?

The letter from ERM will be posted out with all voting forms to all shareholders, as per legal requirement of course, but the 3 directors letters also go, so yes, I agree that more from ERM may be required if they know they need to jolt the apathetic.
Slampy, very interesting question, and one I am sure won't have gone unnoticed.
Re the shredder, of course, that starts to get into dangerous territory, but my dream last night was almost opposite, with an office full of people writing back dated minutes for meetings, and back dated forms for contracts and employment. It was a hectic dream, and I hope there's no reality in it at all.

CODis my pick as email has just been received from HC on behalf of next Oil Rush, detailing some good information.
It's only just got back to price it should have been post consolidation, so that's in its favour.
Very little to sell, I like that, as it will move quickly.
Many won't have received the email yet as they're at work, etc.
