Wake me up when its time for another shot of morphine.

[licker4450]

6000 share at $.004. That is a $24 trade. Not exactly a ringing endorsement of this stock or company. Nevertheless, it is some sign of life at least. Not that I am banking on much happening. But stranger things have happened.

[licker4450]

That really sucks if it is true. Would you care to share where you got the 411 on this POS? How reliable is it (as if them answering the phone is not an indication of what is going on)?

[EquityTrader]

Heard they were doing $200k/mo. in sales after all the products they were given and investments made. ...And, couldn't make any money because of excessive spending. So, they called it quits. Game Over.

[EquityTrader]

Looks like it. POS CEO.

[licker4450]

Did we all get taken on this one? They had such a great story last summer. Now what?

[Perchaser]

still not answering the phone - anyone able to speak with anyone?

[EquityTrader]

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[midtownmurphy]

You got that right Small.(((

[EquityTrader]

Throwing one last nail into the coffin here. CEO doesn't appear to have a clue.

[midtownmurphy]

They don't answer calls, their website looks like s**t, and theres no news. Looks like TOAST to me. JMHO

[Perchaser]

nyone know anything about this sucker - they still in business?

[midtownmurphy]

One would have to wonder if their still in business????JMHO

[Perchaser]

I tried to call yesterday and no one answers the phone. Leave a message and we will get back to you. Troubling at best. And you can't even look up their product line up on their website.

[midtownmurphy]

Maybe he got himself aother job?

[Perchaser]

Anyone have any news here yet? Has anyone been able to speak to the CEO

[stcknovice]

When I was in contact with the CEO in August he mentioned approximated 1.5 - 2.0 M per year in Sales for '08 almost all from ArmorCoat. Projections for '09 were 20M but that required getting ZUUM up and running. Looks like that hasn't happened.

What concerns me is i've tried to contact CEO recently to get an update and no response.

[EquityTrader]

How much revenue is DYTB doing per month? A few hundred thousand?

[EquityTrader]

What did they say in your call? Sub penny now. Cheap "if" they have any news to report.

[Perchaser]

they have a good product - I need to call down and see what they are doinbg

[EquityTrader]

This thing have any life...are they doing anything to bring money in? No news.

[Perchaser]

Hope so, the news is good, maybe they need some PR help

[EquityTrader]

They didn't even use the right news service for financial disclosure. Doesn't even show up on Finance.yahoo.com - http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=dytb.pk

We'll see if they get some coordinated buy efforts.

[Perchaser]

hmmmm - I had read in July they got a 1.1 million order

[EquityTrader]

If this company has sales, wouldn't they want to put out press releases announcing it? They have no PR effort and when you call the management they sound like they aren't sure of what they are doing.

[Perchaser]

What do you think the problems are - we have sales at least don't we?

[EquityTrader]

Most of DYTB's problems aren't related to shorting.

[Perchaser]

Thanks so maybe there is hope here.

[EquityTrader]

We'll see if this helps DYTB which has been shorted in the past.

SEC Issues New Rules to Protect Investors Against Naked Short Selling Abuses

Washington, D.C., Sept. 17, 2008 — The Securities and Exchange Commission today took several coordinated actions to strengthen investor protections against "naked" short selling. The Commission's actions will apply to the securities of all public companies, including all companies in the financial sector. The actions are effective at 12:01 a.m. ET on Thursday, Sept. 18, 2008.
Additional Materials

* New Short Selling Rules

"These several actions today make it crystal clear that the SEC has zero tolerance for abusive naked short selling," said SEC Chairman Christopher Cox. "The Enforcement Division, the Office of Compliance Inspections and Examinations, and the Division of Trading and Markets will now have these weapons in their arsenal in their continuing battle to stop unlawful manipulation."

In an ordinary short sale, the short seller borrows a stock and sells it, with the understanding that the loan must be repaid by buying the stock in the market (hopefully at a lower price). But in an abusive naked short transaction, the seller doesn't actually borrow the stock, and fails to deliver it to the buyer. For this reason, naked shorting can allow manipulators to force prices down far lower than would be possible in legitimate short-selling conditions.

Today's Commission actions, which are the result of rulemaking under the Administrative Procedure Act, go beyond its previously issued emergency order, which was limited to the securities of financial firms with access to the Federal Reserve's Primary Dealer Credit Facility. Because the agency's exercise of its emergency authority is limited to 30 days, the previous order under Section 12(k)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 expired on Aug. 12, 2008.

The Commission's actions were as follows:
Hard T+3 Close-Out Requirement; Penalties for Violation Include Prohibition of Further Short Sales, Mandatory Pre-Borrow

The Commission adopted, on an interim final basis, a new rule requiring that short sellers and their broker-dealers deliver securities by the close of business on the settlement date (three days after the sale transaction date, or T+3) and imposing penalties for failure to do so.

If a short sale violates this close-out requirement, then any broker-dealer acting on the short seller's behalf will be prohibited from further short sales in the same security unless the shares are not only located but also pre-borrowed. The prohibition on the broker-dealer's activity applies not only to short sales for the particular naked short seller, but to all short sales for any customer.

Although the rule will be effective immediately, the Commission is seeking comment during a period of 30 days on all aspects of the rule. The Commission expects to follow further rulemaking procedures at the expiration of the comment period.
Exception for Options Market Makers from Short Selling Close-Out Provisions in Reg SHO Repealed

The Commission approved a final rule to eliminate the options market maker exception from the close-out requirement of Rule 203(b)(3) in Regulation SHO. This rule change also becomes effective at 12:01 a.m. ET on Thursday, Sept. 18, 2008.

As a result, options market makers will be treated in the same way as all other market participants, and required to abide by the hard T+3 closeout requirements that effectively ban naked short selling.
Rule 10b-21 Short Selling Anti-Fraud Rule

The Commission adopted Rule 10b-21, which expressly targets fraudulent short selling transactions. The new rule covers short sellers who deceive broker-dealers or any other market participants. Specifically, the new rule makes clear that those who lie about their intention or ability to deliver securities in time for settlement are violating the law when they fail to deliver. This rule also becomes effective at 12:01 a.m. ET on Thursday.

There is too much good about this to keep sinking. We need more P/R with the truth about orders. This company is really making something, and folks are buying.

[Perchaser]

The $1. million order should help, huh?

[EquityTrader]

No news, no volume...
see that http://www.daytonabrands.com and http://daytonabrands.com go to 2 versions...should probably update that.

[Perchaser]

Any new news on DYTB? Seems very quiet in spite of the orders.

[stcknovice]

Definitely with you on the stock price.

Hopeful the website is the first step to bigger things and better days. Time will tell.

[EquityTrader]

I checked out the website...then the stock price. Now let us see some commercials on TV and products in the store.

im used to it. patience is the key for DYTB....

[EquityTrader]

I'd love to buy more under $.10, but until we get a few peices of news kind of hard to do it. I'd even chase it a little with some buys if it had 50k in volume. :( Surprised we haven't heard boo lately...wait, maybe not that surprised.
