Benacquista (fka BAQG)

[Topgun21]

Wales Walker- Excellent post... You are so correct, and yes it will be fun to pay long term capital gains versus short term capital gains on Benacquista..

Furthermore, I daytrade a lot of pinks and penny stocks that have allowed me nice sums of capital to purchase quite a bit of this company.

My favorite companies are as follows:
1. BAQG
2. FRPT


I am playing tons of pennies , but I am so happy to accumulate this excellent stock and company in its infancy!!!

Fireman Tim

[Topgun21]

Definately so, it is a really cool stock to accumulate. Reminds me when ASPN was trading like this and then bbom went to $10 and then back to $4.85 but you get the point!!!

1. Low Float.
2. Excellent product
3. Huge Margins
4. Share buyback
5. Excellent CEO


You know what, the train is leaving the station choo!choo!

Fireman Tim

[Wales Walker]

Fireman and ETHER - I'm with you guys 100%. Have a good position in BAQG, at somewhat higher prices, but am not concerned, as unless I miss my guess, we are going to see some very strong sales and earnings results, not for the June quarter, but certainly by the 4th (Sept.) quarter. And with OS at 11 million, and the actual float of about 1 millin shs, this is earnings leverage out the wazoo! Anyone who is in BAQG anywhere near these prices is going to look back in a year and be very pleased indeed. They do need some sponsorship, and I don't know what the Florida company they ostensibly hired is doing,but it's not much.

[TheTHEORYofETHER]

Absolutely, people just need to find out about BAQG first.

[Topgun21]

Ekythump- Yes, excellent PR today. I made a boat load on FHAL today and then supported the bid here at .61 while I picked off 15,000 plus shares in 2,500 share lots!!

This company will explode to the upside just like FHAL did today. Amazing how solid our management and business plan is executing according to plan. What a winner!!

Fireman Tim

[ekythump]

I might make some suggestions to people today to have a look at BAQG. We also had another great PR today that I almost missed because the headline was so similar to the last one:

Granted charts are not tell alls, but I see a break of 1.06 coming soon. All it'd take is to push it a little on a few of the other bigger IHub boards on a decent PR day, and voila`!

[ekythump]

Again, I don't think looking at the chart will do you much good with this company.

We see 30% price fluctuations on less than 10 standard-sized trades with BAQG. In the time it takes for the company to trade enough shares to start conforming to any chart patterns, there will have been 3 PRs and the rules would have changed.

Anyway, what we need is volume. It's already apparent that if we accelerated what is already happening we would continue to see the base rise and rise until it is way over a dollar.

[Wales Walker]

Good posts today gang. And yes, it is holding up well when most of the other issues are getting bashed. As far as a share buyback goes, it is quite standard for companies to announce authorization to purchase "up to" a certain amount of shares. It looks like the CEO is using this as a means of supporting the stock, if he has to, and there is nothing wrong with that. After all, it is his money at stake, which to me is a confidence builder. As far as taking the company private, he has very little incentive to do so, as he already owns the great majority of shares, and thus stands to gain the most from a decent market valuation say a P/E of 20 on $1 per share of earnings.

[Topgun21]

Lowman- Exactly... Good post, our CEO is top knotch, and nice to see the positive end here at .80!!!

Been busy fighting fires out here, just catching up here!

Looking to add another 5,000 shares soon.

Fireman Tim

[lowman]

Hey, if the company is making $$, and sees the current pps as a good investment, who are we to argue?

Once Wall St. sees 'the money', and starts moving in, Jim can cut loose with a few more shares for further developments.

The whole stock market revolves around the concept that there are people (CEOs) who are capable of making more money with our money, than we are, ourselves.

Unfortunately, too many CEOs see the public as a good way to finance ridiculous salaries and outrageous 'business trips'.

I think it's pretty clear BAQG doesn't operate that way.

[ekythump]

Very well said.

It is an important point that BAQG's business was primarily established BEFORE going public. It shows that this company and it's subsidiaries were operating independently before shareholders provided additional funding.

No, I wouldn't worry about the buyback. My issue was that the amount of shares quoted in the buyback PR was prefaced by "up to", which means they could potentially have just stopped at 100 shares bought back.

I don't really think this is the case either, because if these guys start making some really serious cash with the FDR and other publications/art programs as is likely, they'll be in a much better position owning as much as the company as they can.

This might mean an extended buyback program from the float or a buyout. We'll have to see just how successful these next few quarters are.

[lowman]

Something like that seems to have happened with PBLS, no?

I think a little research into BAQG and the CEO would dispell any fears of impropriety here.

BAQG is kinda like a pet project gone public. Much of it was established prior to even being public, and IMO, if the pps does not begin to show serious improvement, I wouldn't doubt the CEO just buys ALL the shares back, and goes private again.

The only thing to this scenario is that Jim (CEO), who obviously has a head for business, would be left without the potential advantage that a publicly traded company can have, and the expansion that can develop from being public.

[Jagman]

I don't know about the buyback, but most companies give a $$$ figure of what they intend to spend on a buy back...did BAQG give a figure???

Two or three years ago, ADOT, a real scam company, said the directors approved a buy back of shares.... they "bought back" about a million from management and proceeded to dump about 2 BILLION in a year!!! LOL!!!

[lowman]

That's the amazing thing...there's no 'skeletons'. Granted there's a few things that don't quite seem to fit, but then all thru history, people have been slow to accept change.

'Testing the waters' has made some people VERY rich, and though many have gone broke doing the same thing, I don't see that as happening here. I see market acceptance as being the only drawback, which is exactly what the foreward-thinking investor wants.

Vision and insight is what makes men rich!

[ekythump]

I also think it would be beneficial to shareholders if the Tolman cartoon were removed altogether.

That it is a cartoon makes the promotion look almost chincy. Regardless of how true the things Tolman is saying are, I can imagine potential buyers may be incredulous if the "Walnuts as brain medicine, kidney beans as kidney medicine..." was the first thing presented to them before they had established that Tolman is, in fact, credible.

But that may only make the difference between completely selling out the next FDR in 7 days instead of 10.

[ekythump]

There is a lot of cheerleading but then again there aren't a lot of closet skeletons either.

I have a lot of stocks and I don't cheerlead any of the other ones simply because I think this one is in the best position right now.

I would criticize that I think the wording of the buyback announcement allows them to only buy back a handful and then stop once the PR effect has worn off.

I'd also criticize the use of several made-up words on the YNOT EDUK8 website. It made me wince to hear "historocity" on the cartoon clip, and see something like "vocabularium" used to mean vocabulary.

I also doubt there is a short position simply because stocks with low float like this have amplified market static. It makes it so that 30% swings are just "noise".

[lowman]

Gee, Jagman, maybe you oughtta research a little before you speak. Though the CEO has initiated a buyback program, even if he DID sell shares, it's not like it'd really hurt the fundamentals, what with the float ridiculously low and all.

Nice to see your tactics around here, nonetheless. I needed someone to bring this board to debate level. Too many cheerleaders and no one pays any attention to the game!

(no offense to present shareholders)

[Jagman]

Short position??? Who in their right mind would risk shorting a stock under a dollar that could double or triple in a few days??? I don't like it when CEO's start with shorting stories.....keep the fundamentals improving and the pps will go up, don't start pointing fingers at "shorts"....
Need to keep watch on the OS, IMO....shorts may not be the problem...

[Wales Walker]

Big volume today, at over 60,000 shs - that's 6% plus of the real float. Can't help think that much of this stock is moving into stronger hands, and thus the more powerful the upside move when the fundamental news does start to roll in. Jim Price, CEO, is convinced there is a short position in the stock of over 100K shs, and this too will only add fuel to the fire once the move begins. I'm looking for $5 by the end of the year.

[lowman]

That's my take too! Anything under a buck, with the ridiculously low float, is practically absurd, and a buying opp. without question!

That BAQG already has revenue tops it off!

[ekythump]

Not to mention that it's ridiculous that it's not above $1 right now with the absurdly small O/S.

[ekythump]

It means that there are a lot of smart investors. We're dealing with a company that not only has promised profits, but has produced them and is expanding their operations that made them money.

[lowman]

Bouncing nicely this AM! Volume coming in nicely! Hmmm...wonder, 'wut duz dis meen?' :)

[ekythump]

I haven't been able to open IHUB on my computer in a little while for whatever reason.

As I was saying before, this thing drifts down and spikes up quickly on very low volume. It only took 2-3 sells to get down here so it should only take 2-3 buys to get back up.

It's a bit nerve-wrecking but also allows for excellent opportunities. I had my trigger set at $0.70 and bought a little more today.

I don't know how much they promote investing directly into BAQG on their tours, but it might be beneficial for everyone if they were to put a "For opportunies for direct investment into Benacquista Galleries..." on all their publications.

I suspect we'll see around $1.50 once they announce that they smashed through their second FDR printing--unless they print a lot more than we think they will. I also suspect that we'll go much higher when the money numbers are published.

Am I correct to assume that they have been taking pre-orders for the FDR? It would be nice to see financial results in the next quarter report instead of the 4th quarter one.

[lowman]

Pretty quiet around here! I'm a bit surprised, given the future BAQG is developing. The variety of revenue this little gem is beginning to capture is rather fascinating and I'm sure it won't be staying at these low prices for too long, once more people catch on to the strong fundamentals here!

[ekythump]

121,745

That's the number of visitors so far to the FDR link on the new website. I hope there isn't anybody out there wondering if the new edition won't sell out as fast as the previous one.

LACO-- where is it posted that they are working on a diet? I couldn't seem to find it but then again I didn't look too hard.

[ekythump]

I hope they PR the diet soon! That's amazing that they are developing a diet. At this O/S and this float it shouldn't be long before people are paying $3+ to get a piece of this next Atkins/Art-Ebay.

[Topgun21]

Wow- Super news here. Nice work!!! Been busy out here with fires!!Anyhow, they have updated their website very nicely.

Just thought I would let you all know to check out their special. They are shipping the FDR August 1, 2006 for all preorders, and furthermore if you order now, you will receive the DVD version free also of the FDR! It even has a countdown clock saying 24 days, 18 hours, 10 minutes and 27 seconds till the FDR is shipped to you.

Another point is the fact that on their website Don Tolman is working on a Don Tolman diet etc. Pretty exciting things along with their breakdown of their books and volume discounts. Very nice!

Excellent news this past week. REally impressed!

OK, take care, and have fun!

$100,000 is a decent chunk of money for something we weren't even expecting! Wow!

Oh man the more I think about this company's position the better I feel about my position with them.

I can't wait for the results of their tour.

[Wales Walker]

You are right on, eky. With only a million or less in the actual float, BAQG is going to act like an unguided missile from time to time, and thus the chart can easily fool the investor. As long as the fundamental story keeps improving, any big plunge is sure to be short lived (witness the recent action)and a buying opportunity.

[ekythump]

I have to say I wouldn't even bother with looking at the chart for this one. Judging by the low volume and solidness of the gameplan, good or bad I don't think the chart will tell you much useful information.

Either way, we're all in for some very promising gains.

Just my opinion.

Me Likeee. Go LOW.

[Topgun21]

Sweet Day!!! Happy to cut a block of FRPT and add this the past few days. Thanks for solidifying my position to 6%... What a GREAT PR!!! This stock will skyrocket very soon with explosive sales and I love the wording of the PR today..'

Fireman Tim

[lowman]

Yes, Jim's pretty easy to talk to...unlike some of the bullheaded, arrogant, and deceiptful CEOs I've had the misfortune to approach. He's got a good gameplan, for the patient investor.

[TheTHEORYofETHER]

Your choice of wording makes me think you may have talked to him already. I made a few suggestions, and not being specific in any way he simply responded that he was already one step ahead of me.

I can assure you we won't see this stock drop again because I'll be right there to gobble up another large chunk if it does (I bought some more yesterday, but not a lot).

[lowman]

Yes, Jim seems very receptive to ideas and suggestions, though I feel he may already be one step ahead of the many that could be posed to him.

By all means, give him a call anyhow. A good CEO is always willing to speak with those who sail together, with him.

[TheTHEORYofETHER]

I was thinking they may be able to work with a company called Altmed. They are a natural/alternative medicine clinic that has a lot of branches across the nation. I just might give the CEO a call in the next few days.

Man, I'd be feeling really good about my positions today because of BAQG if I hadn't bought that PVNC yesterday.

[lowman]

Though it would require a licensed holistic physician to create it probably, the concept of a Farmacist's Diet is an excellent one, and will probably be 'part of the package', in due time.

[TheTHEORYofETHER]

I just love how these guys continue to hit their objectives one after another. I also like how their PRs contain very little speculation and a lot of action.

I had a target price of $2.50 for this one but that might have to change at this rate.

I'd also like to seriously suggest to the company coming up with a "Farmicist's Diet".

We're seeing them walk up the PPS again like before, hopefully now all the flippers from the $0.40's and $0.50's are gone so we can soar above $1.

Benacquista Announces Farmacist Desk Reference Update
PR Newswire - June 29, 2006 10:57

SAN DIEGO, June 29, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Benacquista Galleries, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: BAQG) announced today an update on the Farmacist Desk Reference (FDR).

At the time of completion we will ship all pre-ordered copies and initiate all media promotions here in the United States including the Farmacist Times, The FDR affiliate program and the promotions by our PR firm Event Management Services."

"Benacquista Director and author of The Farmacist Desk Reference, Don Tolman is half way through his second tour of Australia, New Zealand and Southeast Asia promoting The FDR. We are pleased to announce that Don and 'The FDR' were recently featured on the Kerri-Anne Kennerly show with outstanding response. In fact Mr. Tolman has been invited back on the show July 11th for a more in depth conversation about the FDR and its message. Ms. Kennerly has hosted multiple Australian Television programs including Midday with Kerri-Anne and the original Good Morning Australia. Kerri-Anne continues in the Australian Television industry as current host of Mornings with Kerri-Anne. The show is the top rated Morning program on Australian Television."

XPANSION 2 XTREME is very well wired into the mainstream of media throughout Australia, New Zealand and Southeast Asia and is doing a fantastic job in gaining exposure and sales for the FDR."

"We believe that the FDR is one of the most significant educational products to be released, in terms of empowering individual consumers to understand not just disconnected information about their health, nutrition and well-being, but more importantly in showing them the integrated relationship between health, whole food, education, self-awareness, the virtuous cycle of being and the importance of mental, cognitive and attitudinal attributes in contributing to an overall sound level of health," concluded Price.

Understood

[lowman]

ekythump, as a rule on all the boards I moderate, the 'promo' of other stocks is generally frowned upon and usually deleted.

This is done under TOS violation "promo".

I moderate this way as a courtesy and out of respect to/for ALL shareholders.

Even though it is more often done only with good intentions, to me, it is comparable to selling Mac tools in a Sears store.

Thank you for understanding and GL with your other positions.

[ekythump]

PVNC

I feel as if fellow BAQG holders might appreciate PVNC also. It just made its first announcement in almost a year and it looks like their are doing some big and potentially profitable acquisitions.

It has been drifting down ever since their year high of $0.13. It is going for about $0.07 right now.

But whatever you do, don't sell your BAQG do join in! PVNC does not have as much value to it!

[Topgun21]

Nice basing here!!!
