CIST:nice update out this morn from liquidity coon picks.:
With the expectation that a continuation of higher volume could enter the stock, I consider CIST could be an easy double-digit gainer...but how high?
Well, in this case I don't know if the symbol "walks the upper Nollie". But if CIST closes at where the current upper Bollie level stands then it could make for some quick returns that I believe would make most investors happy.
Well, on Friday CIST produced an impressive 17.86% close in one session...but watch for the symbol to potentially take some dips and bounces.
CIST could present several opportunities for traders to profit this week...look for what could be an interesting next few trading sessions....and a potential money-maker for early entrants.

CitySide Tickets, a leader in nationwide ticket sales for sporting events, concerts, and theater, provides consumers with easy and affordable access to the hottest events in America. They offer a diverse range of tickets through their website at www.CitySideTickest.com, where visitors can also sell their own tickets. Based in Boston, the company is now spreading its influence in the industry through the acquisition of smaller ticket firms across the country.
Below is a small sample of the type of events offered.
• Concert Events – Taylor Swift, Bon Jovi, Elton John & Billy Joel, Black Eyed Peas, Mariah Carey, AC/DC, Phantom of the Opera, Wicked • Sporting Events – Major League Baseball, NBA Basketball, NFL Football, NHL Hockey, Monster Jam, National Finals Rodeo, Ultimate Fighting Championship, U.S. Open Tennis Championship, WWE-World Wrestling Entertainment • NASCAR Racing – Daytona 500, Atlanta Motor Speedway, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Michigan International Speedway, Pocono Raceway, Watkins Glen International, Phoenix International Raceway, and many more.
To many, CitySide represents the latest and greatest example of the electronic democratization of secondary ticket sales, a long needed move away from professional scalpers who would truck in vagrants to stand in line and buy up all the tickets, which they might then end up selling for ten times face value to average consumers. Today, the box office is open 24/7 across the country. The best primary tickets are still often reserved for season ticket holders and corporations, but primary holders are often free to sell them online, in highly visible competition with everyone else. Furthermore, secondary tickets are available to anyone, with the ticketing company getting a small fee versus an outrageous markup.
The system doesn’t prevent someone from buying up tickets and re-selling them later. But, because the box office is open to anyone at any time, with real competition and transparency, it makes the whole process a lot less risky. It also makes season ticket holding more affordable, since it’s now easier for such holders to sell off the tickets they don’t use. It brings the average consumer back into the equation, spreading the value more evenly. For CitySide Tickets, it represents a huge and growing marketplace.

(PINK SHEETS: CIST), which owns and operates www.CitySidetickets.com, a nationwide event ticket purchasing venue that caters to a diverse selection of popular theater, music, and sporting events, today announces that the company will be forming CitySide Entertainment for the purpose of promoting and sponsoring Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) events.
Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) attracts a youthful demographic, with a good portion between the ages of 18-24. While the techniques of MMA are not particularly innovative, it’s the distinct combination of martial arts forms that has captured the attention of sports enthusiasts.

Building itself as a mainstream competitive sport, MMA is now a multimillion-dollar industry. It can be found on pay-per-view television, as well as in thousands of training halls across the United States.
Company CEO Michael DeAmicis stated, “Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) has become one of the fastest growing sports in the United States.

Hototc group coming in tomorrow weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee:
Posted by HotOTC...
Everyone is looking for that next Cinderella story, that rags to riches company. The next Google or buyout candidate.
CIST just might be it, let me explain why...
CIST is positioning itself to become a major player in the event ticket market. CitySide offers a diverse range of tickets, including concert tickets, theater tickets, and sports tickets for sale through their website.
This is a huge industry and with CIST still a penny stock this could be seen as an opportunity to get involved early.
Have you heard of Stubhub They are the leader in ticket sales online and was just started 10 years ago, by a college student. In 2007 Ebay bought Stubhub for $310 Million!!!
Early investors in Stubhub are probably now retired.
CIST is quickly establishing themselves as a real player in the ticket sales industry, in fact they were just recently featured in an exclusive article at TicketNews. Article here be read here: Company CEO Michael DeAmicis stated, We`re getting a lot of attention right now as others begin to take notice of what were doing in the ticket selling industry. Just a year ago, only a portion of Bostons residences had any idea who CitySide Tickets was and now millions are discovering our service as we push forward with our strategic business plan.
Keep an eye on this company as they could become a giant.

CIST has pulled back to a support level, so this looks like a great opportunity. It's unbelievable that CIST is trading where it's at, considering the growth of the company.
CIST just reported after the market close today, that CIST is entering multibillion dollar MMA industry!! If you ever been to an MMA event, most of the time it's sold out.
Company CEO Michael DeAmicis stated, Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) has become one of the fastest growing sports in the United States. With our focus of becoming a major player in the event ticket market, it only made sense to include MMA in our business strategy.

Live Nation is the world's largest concert promoter. They've had deals to the tours of major artists like Madonna, Jay-Z, and U2!
Live Nation currently trades over $13 a share!
There was big news last month about Live Nation merging with Ticketmaster, the number one ticket seller.
