Remember — promoters like Terry Trebilcock signed multi-year deals, so they will be on the sidelines in the foreseeable future if Pro Elite tanks and goes out of business.
Actually, I see guys like Trebilcock, TJ Thompson, and JD Penn making out like bandits if ProElite goes out of business. Trebilcock/Thompson/Penn got a nice chunk of cash when they sold KOTC/ICON/ROTR to ProElite, and are in good position to reacquire those assets for pennies on the dollar if ProElite goes out of business and is forced to liquidate in order to pay off their creditors.

Not only will those three promotions survive, they'll probably be better than ever thanks to the cash infusion provided by ProElite.

I'm just pleased that I got in 4 pages late and still get to point out that from 2 to 8 is %400, not %220.

According to 5 oz pain, the cause is a single investor buying 5,300 shares at once. It could be someone at EXC or CBS trying to make it look like nothing is wrong and distract them from all the bad news.

Apparently EXC is such a small stock its asking price has little to do with its actual value.

100.00 wont make you much, but with a stock being low like that (2$) thats where you buy 10,000.00 worth 5,000.00 worth or more. that's where u make the good profits. i'm glad you did make SOME profit, but low stocks like that you gotta pay a lot to make a lot.

they're right, this happens a lot on the trading block. one investor can make almost ANY stock jump high, as long as that investor has enough. i've seen one investor purchase a stock and put over 22 mil in it and automatically make a few mil off it. Because it jumped so high after he bought it people started buying thinking something was going on. Nothing was...he just needed to buy something. it's crazy..

since you started the math snobbery, it's only right that you get called out on your stupidity.

8-2.50=5.50

5.50 is 220% of 2.50 (5.50/2.50=2.2)

So when a stock that costs 2.50 goes up 5.50, it increases by 220%
