Good session covered a lot of solid foundation priciniples as well as a LOT of misunderstood facts about offerings and splits. And how traders frequently react to them wrongly. 

Offerings 

     -Secondary – http://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/secondaryoffering.asp

     -Prospectus

     -Shelfs     http://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/shelfregistration.asp

     -Almost ALL low priced stocks need money, they will almost ALL have shelfs ready. Common misconception of newbie shorts is this means they will use them and the price will go down. NOT ALWAYS THE CASE. Pricing.http://www.investopedia.com/terms/o/offeringprice.asp

     -ATM – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/At-the-market_offering

     -Par Value https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Par_value

     -More par value http://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/106.asp

 

Holding long overnight YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS, in momentums stocks. 

     

Split

     -Simple concept, most do it ala $AAPL just to be more accessible to wider range of investors

 

Reverse Splits

     -Maintain market compliance.

     -Maintain legitimacy

     -Raise capital via offerings

     –http://www.investopedia.com/terms/r/reversesplit.asp

     -Why do these run?

     -No fundamental reason 

     -Reduced Float

     -Hot right now

     -Market expects them to “get the price up” in anticipation of offerings, so momentum buyers come in and shorts pile in, in anticipation of the offering. ETRM
