LVL 2 quotes. Professional platforms have that and there are some (free?) sites out there that show real-time order matching and offers.

I wouldn't mind seeing real time data as well. Any links? Are they in flash? Because I only have access to the internet via iphone while at work.

LVL2 can be misleading, as it shows the block as one giant block. You need Total View, which breaks down the blocks on the books as who's betting what.

AFAIK, there are no free "real-time" LVL2 service, it's delayed a bit (of course unless you're an elite trader).

Avoid...I think I wrote how I feel about it few pages up.


Anyway, something definitely leaked at GNVC, as I see a bid of 329375shares at $2.42 on level 2. you just don't bet $800k on a tiny biotech company and just hoping for the best.

You might "bet" that much if $800,000 represented only a small fraction of a percentage of your total net worth or something. Don't be so sure. You're potentially jumping to conclusions without all the facts. For you and me 800K might seem like a lot of money but consider that maybe somebody who has $80,000,000 to play with placed that order. . .if it resulted in a loss it'd only be 1% of their worth. If they had $800,000,000 to play with it'd be a paltry .1%. If you had that kinda money and you had a tip that there was a 50/50 chance that something might pan out but you wanted to be conservative, you might place this kind of a bet because it's a paltry loss should it not work out in your favor.

looks like the ONT/Google is a done deal. we might we some pi$$ed off ONT owners selling their shares today for a lot less than the value of 0.001 share of google + 15cents. probably not worth hassle thou.

one should be able to get level II access from your broker, Ameritrade charges $9.99/month, free if you are Apex member.

The last site that I found used Java. I stay away from it at work so I'll see if I can remember to look at home.

As someone mentioned, it only shows blocks, not individual ask/bid.

GNVC will likely get hit hard today thanks to to the news from GlaxoSmithKline and XenoPort's FDA Complete Response Letter for Horizant(TM). Horizant was denied FDA approval because of a preclinical finding of pancreatic acinar cell tumors in rats. Al though unrelated products and company's, it's still in the bio-tech industry and it hurts the confidence of gene-therapy drug company's like GNVC. Gene therapy is untraveled territory and will likely be scrutinized by FDA.

XNPT XenoPort Inc, closed yesterday at 6.97. It fell over 12.63 points or 65% after the news of the FDA denial. If that doesn't make stock holders worrisome about GNVC, I don't know what will.

GNVC looks green now after a drop in the morning.

It's been a while since I looked into Horizant / xenoport, but from what I remember the research history on gabapentin enacarbil wasn't nearly as robust as it is for TNF-alpha.

From a quick read of the news, the FDA overlooked risks with gabapentin for seizures due to seizures being rather serious business. Restless leg syndrome isn't anywhere near the same level, and doesn't even approach life threatening. Pancreatic cancer is obviously a whole different ballgame.

An FDA denial would be bad news, sure, but I think you can line up a big list of reasons why horizant was denied that simply don't apply to TNFerade. Maybe a direct comparison isn't that helpful, but on virtually every level GNVC/TNF comes out looking like it has much better chances.

Buyers confidence looks to be less raveled than I expected. It's remarkable the sell offs are meant with just as aggressive buying. Not sure what to make of it, people must have some high hopes with the TNF treatment.

too bad hope is not a strategy ;)

Not sure if anyone here plays pennies ever; I'm currently in HDVY. They have proprietary technology that can be applied to several different fields. The biggest and most pertinent one is that it can detect prostate cancer from a urine test. No biopsy. The problem with biopsies is that they're invasive AND their accuracy is NOT that good, there's a reason the American Cancer Society doesn't endorse them. This company's test offers an alternative that supposedly will have HIGHER accuracy, from a piss test. Just a head's up. I'm up about 40% on it right now, holding out for some Phase III results from Quest Diagnostics. There's boards on Yahoo, Raging Bulls, and InvestorsHub I believe.

Anybody thinking of making an investment in Toyota (TM) during this dip due to all the recall problems? Do you think the current level is as low as it will go? I really feel like Toyota will come out a better company in the long run after this is all said and done. Could this be a nice buying opportunity? What do you guys think? I'm talking about as an investment here, not a trade.

I've been favoring two stocks:

SIRI has been doing very well and I don't think it is too late to get in. It is now trading at about $1.14. I started buying when it was at 50 cents and wish I had thought about it when it was down to $ .05 a year ago.

My other choice has been CNLG. There is enough movement on it to get in under $2.30 and sell at over $2.40 same day or over the next day or two. Making any real money you need to buy volume but a 5% gain in a day is pretty damn good. Alternatively, if it goes to above $2.45 I would short the stock.

UBS (market maker) just placed a bid for GNVC for over 300,00 shares. This is a good sign for GNVC today.

GNVC signs a 3.8 million contract with Homeland security for their DHS vaccines platform . In terms of size of contract, it's hardly anything but it does put GNVC in the spotlight a little and gains a little more confidence in their vaccine program.

Some thing tells me this was the news that was leaked out last week.

Pre-market looks up, so there is going to be a nice jump start today. How the market will react to the offical news is anybodies guess.

Interesting. Maybe this was the cause of the recent run up?

It'd make sense right? Perhaps it was just leaked that they had a new contract, and not the contract amount?

Anyways, I think you see this quite a bit on GNVC. Look at the large drop prior to the dilution...
