I always hate to read through old threads and see the last posts of a desperate bag holder, frantically asking for questions and looking for a ray of hope.
At first a few well meaning souls trot out the old "desperate shake by mm's" or "west coast hasn't waken up yet" or "filling the gap" or "News is coming" or "calm before the storm" posts.
Soon the bagholder posts the inevitable: "Am I the only one left in this"? which is sometimes followed by a post saying "Hello??????" or "Is anyone out there"? Then silence.
Eventually the bagholder begins the transition and convinces himself that he intended on going long the whole time.

"Clear the launch pad this baby's ready for take off." Or anything that referrs to a rocket.
"MM's holding this down"
Low volume no movement - "selling has dried up" or "calm before the storm." High volume no movement - "you know the old saying, volume increases and PPS follows"
"It's just the lunchtime lull"
"If the price drops I'll just buy more"
"Good buying opportunity"
"Could be the last chance to buy at these prices"
"Say good-bye to the .0001's. We'll never see those again"
"The PR probably has not reached everyone yet. But once they hear it........"
"The CEO doesn't have time to answer questions... he's busy running the company"
"Alot of companies gag the T/A. Happens all the time"
"The CEO said this is the last time they will file late."
"The CEO said the Q is in the hands of the auditors, it's really out of his control"
"I've talked to alot of CEO's and T/A's... I think I've learned to be a quick judge of truthful words.... and our CEO sure sounded honest to me."

"This action is of particular importance if you feel that TDAmeritrade has unlawful relations with a Market Maker in PLNI that is engaged in shorting/naked shorting the stock, and such action by TDAmeritrade in allowing sells but not buy orders is meant to help that Market Maker make big profits on his short. You have the option to file a complaint 'anonymously' as well."

"American's love their freedom, which includes the freedom to loose everything, just like in any other stock. Having a Big Trading Firm step in and limit their freedom by saying you can sell your existing shares but you can't buy more is an incredibly bad move by TDAmeritrade. As if that action is warranted simply from the warning Pinksheets has put on their website (if you speak with a broker at TDAmeritrade, they will read to you the paragraph on pinksheets.com to justify the trading restriction)."
