That sounds like a stupid restriction. Why should any have to have 2 years experience?
Any investor should be allowed to do what they want with their own money.

Thinking about switching brokers, keep Scottrade in mind. http://clients.prq0.com/scottrade/UWt/ct.asp?tid=UWtovQLpUJWovQpvWQQ&refnum=LZGD830104

I was so looking foward to going over to Freetrades after I make enough cash but I don't have CLOSE to 2 years experience with my broker, or any broker nonetheless.

Somebody please fill me in on this...hehe

Day Trading Margin Requirements
home > help center > margin center >
day trading margin requirements

Effective September 28, 2001, the NASD enacted changes to day-trading margin requirements, which may affect your account.

The NASD provides that a pattern day trader is any account that executes four or more round-trip day trades within any rolling five-business-day period, provided the number of day trades represents at least 6% of the total trading activity during the same five-business-day period. Day trading is the practice of purchasing and selling, or short selling and purchasing to cover, the same security in the same trading day within a margin account.

If activity in your account is classified as "pattern day trading," you may be subject to the following restrictions:

Minimum Equity Requirement – A pattern day trader's account must maintain a minimum equity of $25,000 at the start of any day in which day trading occurs. Pattern day-trader accounts that fall below the $25,000 minimum equity requirement should consider limiting day-trading activities to cash-only transactions until the minimum equity amount is reached in order to avoid a day-trading buying power call.
Day-Trading Buying Power – Day-trading buying power is equal to the equity in your account at the close of business the previous day, less the Self-Regulatory Organization (SRO) requirements, multiplied by up to four. Accounts that are engaged in day-trading activities should consider being limited to day-trading buying power.

Day-Trading Minimum Equity Call – If your account has less than $25,000 equity and is identified as a pattern day-trading account, a day-trading minimum equity call will be issued. Pattern day-trader accounts that fall below the $25,000 minimum equity requirement should consider limiting day-trading activities to cash-only transactions until the minimum equity amount is reached in order to avoid a day-trading buying power call. Funds deposited in an account to satisfy a day-trading minimum equity call are subject to our 10-business-day hold policy with the exception of wires, which must remain in the account for two business days.

Sorry again Johnny, but I don't know about the legalities on that one either. My educated guess would be that it is ok, but I am not sure. Nice site too, by the way.

Delt- you are killing me dog, man you are one FIRED up cookie. Good stuff man, I want to see some heads roll.lol

and.........This HAS to be be passed along. It has to be the funniest shyte I have heard in years. Check out Dardadog's post 3/4 of the way down this page-----http://www.allstocks.com/stockmessageboard/ubb/Forum8/HTML/003797-9.html

I am still laughing 30 minutes later!!!!O M G
That's what it's all about!

ok well i was right about trading pennies on margin, its just common practice because of risk along with trading IPOs.
http://www.investopedia.com/university/margin/margin1.asp

as far as the 3 day settlement period when selling a stock, i dont know. i do know you have 3 days to get funds to your broker, which i think was throwing me off. its friday and my day off. its a relaxing and non thinking day. im pretty sure your broker will get you your funds when they want, likely its in a certain period of time, which i that i dont know (maybe 3 days?)

and yes Brada i know i was thinking the same thing when i saw all the broker posts. i guess i was bored since there was no GNFX posts.

well im ready to get back onto GNFX talk

Yeah, you pay 14.95 per month for those. But it's worth it because you're saving so much money from commissions. We're talking first 20 trades are free here. If you have Ameritrade and only make 20 trades per month you're saving $219.80 already. Then like I said, it's only 3, 2 and 1 dollar per trade after that.

Todays problem is the most severe, and because of this, I will be closing my accounts.
I cant believe that they were able to change the symbol for the Ameritrade users, but not for the Datek users. How F**KING rediculous!

Besides todays problem, they often freeze my money if I try to cancel an order.
Like I said before, I am a day trader, so I make alot of trades each day. Although today was the first time I was going to trade GZFX, I have been holding this long, and willl continue to do so.

So when I place an order and then the price moves away from my bid, I will cancel and put in a new bid.
When I do this, there have been many times that my order gets frozen in the "requesting cancel" state. This usually lasts between 3-30 mins, and it has lasted up to an hour before. Obviously when this happens, my money is frozen, and there is a possibilty that the order went through.

So if it did happen to go through, and I dont know it for 15min, by the time everything is normal, I could be down 5K $ because the stock went down and I couldn't do anything about it.

And one more thing, is that I was supposed to recieve stock dividends from JGMHA. There was a naked short scandal going on with the company, and many brokerages were in on it, including Ameritrade. So to make a long story short....i didnt recieve my dividends, until i called them up and made a big deal about it. They were already a month and a half late, before I called them up. And at first they acted like they didn't know anything about the dividends. Then they magicaly appeared 4 days later.

I will be researching different brokerages this weekend to decide who to give my business and money to.


Good for you flipper.lol.True Long always have a sound good sleep.lol

Up 50% today, looks like it still has enough momemtum to carry it tomorrow and possibly into next week. At 0.0042 right now, but if it has enough momentum it could hit it's resistance at around .01

Just got an e-mail back John which confirmed information I think most people here knew already, but I wanted to know for sure.

John is not the same guy who is the VP of FORD Europe, just has the same name.

Doesn't matter either way to me, I just like to keep my facts straight.

It's on that stockskill page too, going to e-mail them with the real knowledge. Only thing erroneous I have found on there. Just wanted to clear it up because so many people seem to read it.

Peace out brotha's!

Just sent an email to the Wisemans about the lack of Meta Tags on the website, really hope they fix this.

This was mentioned before but I will bring it up again, if you have a website, add a TEXT LINK to veegeez with "online video game rentals" or something similar. Sites get listed higher if they have more sites linking to them.

So where to now. The site is open, the name has changed. What now. Is there any other news we should be looking for anytime soon. Yes, I know this company has a lot of promise, but does anyone look for it to be a rather steady stock for awhile and not do to much? Or do you think after the huge volume friday and large climb up, things will continue. I really feel like ever since the close of the market Friday, many people have just gone to talking about other things on this thread and not GZFX. Any thoughts welcome?

Silverstreak....look over the Billboard article again:
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/nm/20040124/film_nm/film_online_dc_1

The actual launch of GamezNFlix has not yet happened. The article points to February as the launch target time frame. I think we still have that to look forward to in the near future. This will be the addition of DVD's to the games already offered via VeeGeez. I also anticipate an advertising campaign to coincide with this development (based on the partnership with Legend Mobile).

Once that happens, I think the excitement will settle down a bit until the next quarterly revenue results are released.

This is all IMHO.....please base investment decisions on your own DD!

Silver....we are still awaiting the BIGGEST news....
The Gameznflix.com website! This other stuff was nice, but when the Gameznflix site is up......we should move higher. Dont bail yet, I dont think think peolpe will forget about this stock any time soon.

And your point about not talking about gameznflix, came from the name change and problems people were having with it. And I will continue the subject in my next post.

Wooter...I am still pissed off! I am not talking about missing out on a couple hundred $'s. I got screwed out of thousands of bucks on Friday. What happened yesterday was completely unacceptable. I am still waiting for a response from an email I sent to Datek/Ameritrade.

I just dont understand why they didn't put in the effort to update their system to allow internet trading og GZFX!

Since I took it in the pocket on Friday, I will return the favor and move my money elsewhere to a broker who will take care of me and my money! When someone isn't capable of doing their job....they get fired! And so I am firing Ameritrade! I will hire another Brokerage which is capable of doing their job correctly

what did you find out on the different brokerages bud? Anything significant? I really don't want to use Freetrade if they are going to screw me in the future. Thanks!

The Gameznflix web site is coming but the article also said there would be an additional 2-3 distribution centers to go along with this and the location of these could be huge cause as far as I know, and I could be wrong, I don't believe that there are any online game rentals that have even 1 distribution center on the east coast and faster turn over for these customers in one city, Say the size of New York City could really make a big difference.

Keep holding tight. This month still holds some major developments for GZFX.

There has also been some talk about expanding overseas - CEO John Fleming was quoted in the local Franklin, KY newspaper about future expansion into England. Have no idea as to time frame.

well Fozz......

All that tough guy stuff I pulled the other day and today has kind of backfired. I have run into a slight problem after researching other brokerages.
It seems like Ameritrade is one of the few brokers that allow unlimited shares per trade without any extra fees. There are many which charge fees for trades of over 5000 shares.

I'm not sure about Lowtrades. Anyone who uses them, can you tell me if the ECN fees are applied to all orders, or if they are only applied to select ECN orders?
Also, with low trades, is there a limit on shares traded per trade?

Besides these two, Investrade allows unlimited shares for 7.95(market orders), and 29.00(stocks under 2$) but I have never heard anyone who uses them

Scottrade 12$ + 1/2% of principal for otc stocks. so if you placed an order for 200000 shares of GZFX @ .1 you would pay 112$ commission

Etrade might allow unlimited shares with no extra fees with PowerEtrade. I'm not sure. Does anyone know?

I'm still checking out my options, but I will be moving at least 2 out of my 3 Ameritrade accounts somewhere else.

Fozzy...I will be back tomorrow with my final decision on where I will transfer to. If you have any good ideas, let me know!

Silver Streak and all:


I do think PSU is right about earnings coming into play sometime down the road here after all of the anticipated news releases(Gameznflix.com and Mobile among others) are out. The possility of flattening off before the earnings IMO is good. People might be re-evaluating their positions, etc. taking a breather. Profit taking. Waiting for "real" financial numbers to come out.

But at the same time I think this also............

IMO, and this only IMO, but, this is the way I look at it:
These are the reasons why I think there is no real way to predict where or when this puppy will level off. I probably won't sell my shares anytime soon because I don't think I will be able to accurately predict the swings this big dog might have--

1- GREAT IDEA: why?

A) RENTING VIDEO GAMES:

As stated in the past on this thread the video game industry is booming. I just bought an X-box 6 months ago and own 8 games and play it 2-3-4 times a week. Many of my friends own systems and play video games still to this day, and I am 27. People from my generation are still playing video games. I have friends aged 24-32 who still play video games, not to mention my brother who is in college and all of his friends. Video games are becoming awesome and more virtually realistic everyday. Also works well for games because some games take longer than the regular 3-5 day rental period to play and beat. Say you have a 2 game subscription- you can keep one for a while- Say a sports game or two player type game you can enjoy with friends. And you can keep the other game- say a 1 player game - for as long as you want till you beat it, then turn it back in for another. Gives all kinds of options, not to mention the 3 and 4 games subscriptions. Then through in movies.

B) DVD's

Netflix has proven there is a viable and as yet, still barely tapped market out there for DVD rentals. I think I read somewhere the CEO of Netflix said they only have 3% of the DVD rental market, please correct me if I am wrong, but seems to be a large, wirtually untapped market out there.

C) This is not a new idea, but late fees do SUCK! What a ripoff.


2- VISION:

One thing which is REALLY starting to impress me in this deal is the vision of John Flemming. - England, are you kidding me. I studied in England and I KNOW for sure that they play video games AND watch movies. In my wildest dreams I had thought the possiblities of expanding to foreign markets would be a great idea. Now- John is already mentioning it. Europe has somewhere over 350 million people last I heard- England alone would be huge! Wouldn't be too hard either IMO- you would only need one dist. center and they speak English already; would be easy to coordinate from that perspective. I don't know much about having multi-national companies but, WOW, there's an idea. Also, maybe there is a reason for John wanting to be on the Berlin Stock Exchange- (The Berlin Stock Exchange part is all complete supposition on my part, but who knows.)

3- DOT COMS

As MACH said, and IMO .com's are back or are coming back. Dot coms, like any new idea or thing, start out as a good idea, gain momentum, then attract bangwagoneers. Once too many bandwagoneers jump on the idea/industry gets inflated, inflated to the point it creates a bubble which bursts. A shake happens, the real companies and ideas remain, the other "fake" ones fade away, then a more substantial, real-valued base is established. This has happened to dotcoms, Tech/nasdaq, and Telecom companies in my generation. I have the, what I think is reasonably accurate opinion, that it has happened many times over history, and if not to all industries, then most. Think about what happens during a boom and a subsequential bust or retrace. When the bust or retrace happens, the bubble bursts, all that remain are the "real" companies, not just the bandwagon ones, the companies with good ideas and who have a stable foundation (ie. good management, CEO, business plan etc.)

To me this just happened with Dot Coms. If you noticed- we just went through a boom and bust with Dotcoms. So, what is left after the shake(bust)?- Dot Com companies with good ideas- Amazon, E-bay, Yahoo, Expedia, Monster etc. All are still there, and if you have noticed by their share prices, are now recovering strongly. (Actually I don't know if all these are publicly traded, but do you get my idea?) The essence is that they are returning or have already returned to a more real value and are starting to grow at a more real value rate. Another example of this are what happened to the tech companies- LU, NT, CSCO are great examples, check the recent trends in the charts.

This happens because, after a bubble bursts, the public is afraid to get back in: they just got burnt, don't want to get burnt again. They are interested more in fundamentals and less in hype. A more supported (real) base is established. This is happening with .coms and techs now IMO, I would guess it will happen or is happening with telecoms too. There is definite real value in these companies. Just look at the 3-4 year charts on any tech stock or dot com company. Dot coms are coming back, albeit much more conservatively than before, they are still coming back. Look at the new Overstock.com ads, and Netflix.com to name a few off the top of my head. The market is still there for *good* ideas. Won't be as many "bandwagoners" as before, they will be scared. This = more "real growth" IMO
BOTTOM LINE: the market is still there for good ideas.

4- RIDING THE POSSIBLE NETFLIX WAVE:

If these upcoming events and news releases pop us up a couple of price levels (.20-.50) cents, (which IMO is very realistic after watching this stock over the last two months), in the next couple of months we will start getting on the "bigger boys" radars. It is possible we might be touted as maybe being the next Netflix. People are always looking out for the next "gem" at all levels. All we need is a couple of good publicity spots here or there and then- who knows? Even if we ride even 1/10 of the Netflix wave where does that put us. The question to me would be- will they start buying in before the earnings come out, or after? Maybe a little before, lots after, if the report is good. This part is a little out of my league as far as predicting, but maybe this helps you get the idea of my train of thought.

5- IT IS A PUBLICLY TRADED COMPANY (and the
only one who rents video games) :

Why is this important?

A) Free publicity in the news if the PPS grows, allows us to get on bigger radars, so to speak. Also any "good" publicity is good, whatever form it takes.

B). Free promotion through shareholders- ie. letters to magazines, fliers, letters to tv shows, buying subscriptions for friends/ relatives. The free networking of a good idea is priceless. Especially a subscription based one.

C). Another example I can't find a title for is- A poster on this thread said they would comp John's company HP equipment at a discount price, ie. sell a printer to them at 20% off or a copier for 35% off. I think the possiblities along this line have huge potential with a publicly traded company.


I might be getting ahead of myself, especially with the England thing, but these are all reasons *I* am holding mine LONG for who knows how long. When I look at the company the only honest to god negative thing I see is the o/s and, from what I have heard, pretty sure that is easily taken care of with a reverse split at some time. (again a little out of my expertise) but then again look where SIRI is right now at 2.60 ish pps wise( I think over 1 billion o/s an IMO screwey CEO, bad financials, not even close to their market cap numbers ) just on the ANTICIPATION of subscription numbers.


Who knows, Silver Streak,
IMO in a couple of months you will feel lucky you got in when you did. I do. If you do anything, get out with free shares, takes a lot of the emotion out of things and allows for clearer thinking in an investment. For example if you buy 100,000 share at .04 cents, then sell half at .08 cents you get your orginal investment back.
In my opinion definitely hold as much as you can reasonably hold (but be prudent, if you don't like to take risks or are not in the position to take risks ie. you have a family or people to support. Then hold as many shares as you feel comfortable holding and minimize the risk.) I am personally holding all of mine for a while, but I am not supporting anyone but myself, so I can take the risk of holding onto all of my original investment, might be adding more. Nothing risked, nothing gained IMO. I still have some conservative investments so I don't end up working at McDonald's, and am not SCARED to (which is big), but in my opinion this is smelling more and more like a winner, creeping along steadily towards the conservative investments side of my porfolio.


PS-
Also-

ELBOW GREASE-

I, along with others, also realize it is really important to "get the word out" about this idea. Magazine articles, fliers, tv shows, there are all kinds of ideas out there. Imagine how this would take off if we were able to get an article in something like "Maxim" magazine (because of the male reader base) then maybe a more family oriented magazine when movies are added. Remember this is "our" company too and IMO any good, hard elbow grease put in now can and will reap huge benefits in the PPS, especially because this will be a subscription fed revenue stream to start.

Seems to me we are building the strong base a company needs- Think of a house- needs a strong foundation right?- Businesses are the same way. The bigger and better fundamentally sound foundation you build the bigger and better badazzed business you can put on top of it.
I personally think a really good base is being formed here with this company. What will happen if good earnings start coming out on top of this good base/foundation we are forming? I feel confident saying it would be a pretty stinking big deal.

One thing I feel I can do to help give us good earnings is to throw in a little elbow grease. Giving the subscription to a friend/relative, writing to magazines, getting a subscription yourself; these are all good ideas. Think- If your brother who is in college had a subscription and all his friends saw it and thought, "Man, what a cool idea!," then went out and got a subscription for themself, or even as a house of buddies, split a subscription. It is a really good idea, getting the word out can reap exponential gains. Actually, now that I think about it, this shareholder thing is "network marketing" at it's finest. AMWAY look out!

This is why I'm so positive about this flier idea. I know we as shareholders already have access to a flier, but it is definitely outdated. If all of us shareholders had access to a COOL looking flier, to make at our convenience, to distribute anywhere. Think of how much FREE advertising and promotion we would have. Are you kidding me!
I M H O

this could be huge!

OH JEEZ, I just might have talked myself into buying more shares! Gotta think about that one


PPS- IMO on this board and others, there seems to be some really smart money in on this one or at the very least- discussing it. Eveyone seems to have a good "feel" on this one.

PPPS- Disclaimer: I come from a good business background, family wise (my grandfather was a VP of Lance cookie corp. and my dad started a manufacturing rep. company and did very well IMO), I went to a pretty decent business school (Stetson University) and think I have a knack for watching trends. BUT please don't buy into anything I say unless you research it yourself or it makes sense to you. Also, I am not God and have no idea what will for sure happen in the future, but I do believe what I just said enough myself to be about 500,000 shares deep. Maybe buying more.

CHEERS AND GOOD LUCK TO ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!

HEAYZUES!, did I just write all of that. That's a freekin book
Lord help me oooooof ooooooof. I have been writing for 6 hours !!!!!!!!!!!

And- actually I feel many people on this thread and those who check in regularly have thought about some if not all of these ideas at some point, so this is not rocket science or anything new. Many of the ideas have been stated previously at various points here and there along with the sum 842 pages of discussion we've had.
Those are my ideas at least.
Anybody who has anything to add or who have facts to correct me on- Post 'em Johnny.

Yippee Kai-A mosafosas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Queer buy for the Straight guy? QBID that is.......VEE-SLEEZE?.......BOY stocks?.....Are you kidding me???????????????????????????Funny stuff.
I love it!
I need to go to bed.

Hey Wooter, very nice narrative. It's funny, I bet a lot of us think exactly the same. I have been telling a lot of people about this company since November and the 5 points you discussed are pretty much the same opinions and reasoning I have used when telling others as to why we will be successful.

England is perfect as market to go to Europe. Because of the bad weather people over there are having a lot of time to play games or to look DVD's.
I don't think we will stop with England, the rest of Western Europe has also a lot of potential. This because of the fact that renting games and DVD's through the internet has not yet begun over there. GZFX could be one of the first and the only one on this market.
When they start combining games and DVD's on the European market I will become a member, that's for sure.
The sooner the better I would say.
No,let them grow first on the US market.
