Camber Energy Inc was the stock du jour … hard to borrow, I paid between 2.88 and 3.78 cents per share (around $333 per 10,000 shares) … CEI did 144,000 trades today Again, it came on my radar a little bit late, but in plenty of time to be tricked and trapped several times before 10AM.
Movies Watched -- The Snake Pit (1948)
108 minute running time … I went to 4x fast forward after a full half hour of normal speed and don’t regret it … a mental illness picture from the 1940s … interesting to see the shock treatments and ice baths … Olivia De Havilland was treated better than the other inmates because she was better looking and listened to Brahms. It was probably an impressive picture for its day, but I couldn’t get into it and don’t recommend it, though John Farr does. You can’t win ‘em all, even when you have Farr screening them for you.

Stock Du Jour, Thu. Apr. 2, 2020, APOP
Cellect Biotechnology Ltd was the stock du jour … hard-to-borrow, I paid 2.16 cents per share ($216 per 10,000 shares) … it did 112,000 trades today with about 12,000 of those being mine (half kidding). I didn’t notice APOP immediately, so the data begins around 9:38 AM.
Stock Du Jour, Wed. Apr. 1, 2020, APT
Alpha Pro Tech, Ltd. was the stock du jour … IB had plenty of shares available, which meant I could get in plenty of trouble fighting it.
This is a new feature… I’ll try to post the Bookmap view of the stock du jour every day.
APT was a latecomer so the data begins around 10:30 AM
Bookmap Features Wish List Number 04
I wish that you could pin the separated Bookmap chart to the screen so that it stays on top … IB’s TWS and ThinkOrSwim both have this feature:
Lift You Up Another Semitone
Probably my favorite song from the latest? Arctic Monkeys’ album:
Arctic Monkeys - "Four Out Of Five" Taken from the new album 'Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino', available now globally. Buy & listen: http://smarturl.it/Tran...
Vivus Trade (VVUS) with Bookmap View
Vivus (VVUS) was the HTB du jour (it did 170,000 trades by end of day) … it was so hard to borrow that I had to attempt to locate the shares over and over and over (something microcap HTB players know all about) and when I finally got some they were 35 cents a share! ($3,500 per 10,000 shares). I still took the borrow because I believed I could make around a dollar out of it … watch the video to see how brilliantly I handled this one. As Nona Horowitz famously said, reality bites.
Set quality to 1080p so that it's clear. Recorded at 128x fast forward which makes it around four minutes to watch ... speed it up using the YouTube controls...
SuperCom Trade (SPCB) with Bookmap View
SuperCom (SPCB) was the HTB du jour. Borrow cost was 2.16 cents a share ($216 per 10,000 shares borrowed). SPCB did over 100,000 trades today. I’ve sped up the video so it only takes two and a half minutes to view. I haven’t gotten a mic, but have written some comments in text within:
Bookmap Features Wish List Number 03
I wish the slider bars for size, transparency and clustering had some number associated with it … it’s a pain to adjust them chart to chart while being blind to the numbers involved.
