    It's funny to me that some people are supporting Blockbuster. I hate Blockbuster. I also think $8 is a good deal for streaming video considering HBO/Showtime/etc are all like $15-20 a month and a lot of them block you from DVR'ing movies on those stations.

      Bloaq is the liqidating entity, you might as well buy $2k worth of lottery tickets. It's simply an out of the money call, buy that and I'll kick you in the nuts.

      Most people I talk to have nothing but good things to say about you, but you sure come across as a condescending prick. Do you have an inferiority complex you've attempted to overcome through overachievement? Or were you fondled as a child?

      You and slow99 should date. You both have passive aggressiveness down pat.

          Now would be a fantastic time for Cockbuster to come out and announce the exact same business model and pricing that Netflix just did away with. What a kick to the nuts that would be.

            Send me your money and I'll send half of it back to you in a year. It will be a better return than this deal.

              Some of the guys at my office were just talking about that. I know that's what I would do.

                The problem is, do they have the ability to offer the service?

                  It is probably very complicated and can't be done. I know the Netflix guys started out by going to Best Buy and buying DVDs and renting them out through the mail. I'm sure there are legal concerns these days and it would be much harder to do.

                    I read an article about Blockbuster doing the same thing with new to DVD movies in order to fill their Blockbuster Express kiosks with the "28 days sooner" releases.

                      I'm not an investor (newsflash), but if a stock is worth $0.07 on Monday and it is at $0.13 today and I bought $1000 worth on Monday, that would be good... right? Short term? Should I sell it?

                        Risk adjusted i doubt you're outperforming shit. You understand what that entity is correct? I would sell it and enjoy the fact that I got lucky.

                          I don't know everything there is to know about it, but I get the gist of it. I was looking at percentage of increase, not too much more. I also know about the Dish Network/Blockbuster relationship and Netflix recent fuck ups. That's all.

                            Sure, but speaking from experience I can't tell you how many times I have watched a $0.7 stock drop to .000X.

                            Just looking at the chart and looking at patterns, it is pretty much at a high and isn't going to go much higher unless something extraordinary happens.

                            If you buy now you are pretty much 98% certain to lose 50+% of whatever you invest.

                                I am speaking from experience... Look at the MAX chart, the highest is .20, yeah it will go up another 25%. The thing is with penny stocks they don't typically go up or down by a few percents, their gains and drops are significant, that is why they are attractive. You can make 25% today and then in 30 minutes it drops 75%. I see it daily.

                                On that same note, penny stocks typically aren't going to fulfill a several thousand dollar order.

                                By all means if you want to risk whatever you invest, then go for it. Just go into it knowing tha tyou could very well lose all of it.
