Finally caught up with the Grand Kahuna
Rob is in Kitchener all week he is in meetings something to do with new business. Glad I called he filled in quite a few blanks I'll try and pass these on here but clarification I may be a little poor on so bear with me, the guy is on his game and leaves me wondering what on earth he is talking about sometimes if I don't ask. LOL!
OK here goes FINANCING no news. I had to be blunt there to temper great expectations I know we all have. Actually it's looking like they have made considerable progress and are doing some extensive DD on the company in question before they commit to it. (I hope to hook up with Peter Varteresian in Halifax today so will update)
What I found very interesting is PearTree it's coming along nicely and is capable of making as much revenue as VOIP according to Rob. They have FIVE new customers in tow for the RV Dealership software who all look to be prospective customers. Big deal you say? Yep your right Rob was quite candid with me I hope I can record what he said accurately as possible.
PearTree is going down for a conference in the states they intend to push it now in the US and initial feedback is very favourable. Moreover some of these new customers are showing a great deal of interest in the VOIP so a win win situation exists for many PearTree customers.
Wait it gets better this software does not need an EXE file it just needs a browser they are working extensively with their new guy from Australia on this with a definite plan. That being ATV dealerships Motorcycle dealerships all the while constantly ramping it up in different vertical markets with the aim to be going after manufacturing modules and yes automobile dalerships. Can you appreciate what is going down here guys? Constant R&D leading to a steady flow from various new vertical markets.
The PearTree is the foot in the door for a raft of VOIP contracts and they both stand to make equal amounts of revenue without cold calls!!! Apparently the new update of the website has returned quite a few new inquiries on VOIP also. The crucial thing to understand is that both markets VOIP and PearTree compliment each other seamlessly.
Now very sketchy details on what he is doing but I think it was a new kind of market an off shoot of the kind of financing now in negotiation and although he did not say this it sounded like preliminary negotiation but don't quote me. I phoned yesterday and he asked I call back today but I could tell he was very immersed in what he was doing and yes he sounded mortified to be receiving a cell phone call right in the middle of his meeting (WTG Rich!) Anyway he sounds very positive on that development to date.
SUMMATION:
PearTree is being ramped up and how, seems like it's taking ALL of Rob's time nearly. Look for very good things from that sector and soon. I think he said the US marketing push at the conference was this summer and it sounded somehow tied in with the financing we are doing if not mistaken. 5 new PearTree RV dealerships contracts in advanced negotiation. PearTree is wickedly synergistic with VOIP the business plan is coming together guys in a big way. Many new applications for PearTree still haven't even been tapped yet it's a constant work in progressan ongoing R&D into new vertical markets with aggressive expansion into the US slated this summer at the latest.
I will pass on what I can from the financing progress but long story short here we're in good shape sounds like everything is coming up on critical mass for major expansion. All for now!
Best....Rich
Hanging in their ragtrade
Been away for weeks came home with the freight train flu and another stock taking all of my energy so have not been able to post much.
On this subject of financing call the director in Halifax he is the person who is handling financing , call Peter NOT Rob! He will be able to give much more informative meaningful answers as he and he alone is doing the main brunt of the work.
Heck of a nice guy we talked for half an hour!
GTG dentist awaits I can hear the drill turning...
Best....Rich
I hope "no news is good news" is applicable in our case. Just to quiet!!! Trust everyone is well.
Cheers
Atom your so close...?
Yet so far! Why would a company buy a website design company? There is only one answer here I can think of. To market a product ...agreed?
Hijacking (as you put it) is reactionary misinformation. It was more like financial hostage taking alright but keep that head clear Atom it was perpetrated by Venture Exchange NOT GBRT it seems worry and angst have replaced your salient logic here and that is disappointing. I appreciate it has been a long hard slog and to the thread I recognize you have been here longer than I so I'm not wishing to drub the good work you have done but geeeez give that head a shake bud.
I'm just in the door been away 18 days so know NADA about this deal you speak of with the website development firm but if true man 'o man wake up and smell the coffee. It sounds to me as if a deal is indeed closer than many of us think, a LOT closer. In fact Atom I have to say from first arriving at GBRT it seemed apparent if anyone had fallen in love with his investment it was you. It's a common mistake don't take it as an insult but as a tip. Danger being your now so close to this stock you can't see the hills for the trees.
Not sure but this post you have made appears provocating for someone to give you at least an opinion. Well here is my prediction. I postulate May will be a very interesting month for this stock indeed Atom I'm optimistic enough to say here and now it will be a more profitable one. (yes you may save this post for future rhetoric) see IHUB favourites instructions.
On my return it seems clearly evident to me GBRT is obviously preparing for something on a grand scale which says to me financing is very near at hand. I think they have been given some encouraging indicators that this is the case or they would not be adopting this aggressive marketing strategy. Is that so far fetched? It may be an entire new sideline of their's but I hunch it ties in with all there anticipated business and it is being spurred on by positive developments from the financing feedback they are getting.
Now that's just straight logic not wild rumor sir. Why would GBRT buy a website design firm if they were not planning on major expansion and how else could they afford to expand in such a large way without the coveted financing we are all here waiting for.
Moreover as CEO would you consider it wise to do a buyback when your anticipating a possible major offering on another exchange as well as major expansion? No disrespect Atom I enjoy and appreciate your infectious support of GBRT but it seems your getting a lot antsy when you should rather be a whole lot more encouraged. By all means enjoy the weekend Atom but gad man get a grip , pause before posting your looking in the wrong direction is all I can make out. Buyback? No hope for financing?
HellllllOOOOOOOO! Who's your daddy?
Well a nice change for the better. Finally a good sizebid in, showing a little interest, who knows, might just see 14, 15 cents again.
Just arrived home 2 hours ago after 2 great weeks in the Carrib.GBRT down, snowing, Sino Forest down significantly....................should have stayed away longer. A little bit of merlot should help put a positive spin on things.
Gotta say I'm still optimistic. However, a belief does not necessarily meet with reality.
Truth is, its good to be home!
Hope everyone is well.
Thank You
2.5 cents, OUCH. Boy's we've got to get some news soon. Richie, where you've been, I think most of us could use a little optimism right now.
Got to admit, things don't look good. Not much we can do except wait, should be good at it by now.
Buy back...
Rob should have planned a share back instead of wasting cash on the web design outfit! That would have stirred the pot somewhat.
Check out the bids at $0.01 and $0.02 cents, things have really dried up....simply pathetic. How long has the financing been in the works, a year now?...what a joke this is turning out to be...what's holding it this time around Rob? I thought that the main purpose for hijacking share holders to the CNQ was to get the financing done? Comments anyoune??????
March report is out!
- interesting to see they p/u a small web design outfit
- all debt has been paid out
- two employees replaced, one of them the ex owner of the web
design outfit !
- nothing, nada, mierd happening with the Financing
...the waiting game goes on lads...
Think you could be on to something. I guess all well can do right now is hope, maybe the calm before the storm.
That's interesting...
I see the website has had a facelift.
Hmmm one doesn't always spice one's own website unless one expects considerably more business in the offing to my way of thinking at least.
Anyone notice the new VOIP HTML and 80 page booklet on the front page? http://www.glenbriar.com/
Hi Atom
Not terribly much market seem to be stuck in neutral if my portfolio is any indication. Found an interesting VOIP article though,that undoubtedly pertains to GBRT at some stage possibly right now. http://www.technologyreview.com/articles/05/03/wo/wo_hellweg032505.asp?trk=nl
Just herding off to work here Atom be back in a couple days (or so they tell me)
Hello, anyone home?
Richieboy, Bearbait, Mitch, Ragtrade...is anyone here anymore, What's going on?
I jumped the gun here guys
Just chatted with Rob the AGM was held in Kitchener they change it very year to reach as many as possible fairly.
Any how.... GBRT posted on their site a Power Point Presentation of the minutes of the AGM here... http://www.glenbriar.com/corporate/financial_reports.php
Nothing out of the ordinary but Rob said some shareholders did attend which I found interesting. Their comments and questions were all after the meeting held in private so don't expect them on the presentation.
I also expressed that I'd like to see the next AGM live webcast so as many shareholders as possible could attend at least over the phone LIVE. He said it's quite an undertaking but would consider it if demand was enough to warrant it.(not verbatim)
I'll have some installs to do so I can see the PPP on my Mac before I can discuss anything in the meantime fill your boots I will get back to you.
Cheers....Rich
True to form...
GBRT has not disclosed anything untoward or mislead anyone intentionally that said there is absolutely NO MENTION of the financing we are waiting for. I think that is what got mitch20 upset and I can understand now where he might be put out about that.
Fact is though Rob is going about this as usual there is no fluff or embellishment it's almost clinical how GBRT disseminates the company business of the day to the public. If history can be the yardstick then that was to be expected but I am a little surprised there was complete omittance of any dialogue on financing. That is not to say the meeting did not discuss it and in a way I wish that meeting had been webcast or at least an MP3 recording made available to shareholders who obviously could not attend physically. Some improvements in shareholder~company communication I think are now justified.
Did anyone by any chance attend the AGM in Calgary? If so could you please give the thread an idea of what went on there? Not verbatim of course but a general overview would be very appreciated.
Not that anyone could object to any proposals if it was not attended but what would have been nice in this VOIP world would have been the opportunity to have shareholders submit questions/concerns by phone during the meeting.
If we are to proceed with expansion to the OTCBB and I have no indicators to suggest it won't ; then a webcast or at least an 800 line available to shareholders is an important consideration for next year which I will advise the company on. This AGM might as well not have been held for all we are informed it didn't happen. I understand better now why mitch was getting as chafed as he was GBRT needs to communicate better especially at these meetings when all eyes are on them to perform.
Compound that importance to exihibit management performance by an order of magnitude when we go publicly traded on the OTCBB. Our Yankee brethren place huge importance and expectations on new business for AGM's. GBRT will have to sharpen their pencil on that score.
I really find it hard to discuss anything in this PDF except for the fact Rob has noted that outside directors may have to wihdraw any vote if there is deemed a conflict of interest on an issue. Am I missing anything?
Best....Rich

LOL bearbait that's what we are here for to hear your tongue wag LOL! With that mind set I suspect you will fair the best of most here I tend to agree short term may leave one tapping their toes but the time for GBRT is approaching and any one who hasn't loaded the boat by then well sorry folks but I have no sympathy you have been all been on notice for months. Good post bearbait!
Patience yes, not only in this stock but alot of penny stocks. If you believe in this or another stock,have done your homework, it's time to acquire. The stock market right now is not the place to be for short term gain with penny stocks unless you are very lucky or much better at day trading then I am. The thing with GBRT that I think we all can agree on is good management, well at least in my view. Short term, I don't expect anything miraculous however down the road they should do quite well for themselfs and the shareholders. Buying opportunities, yes, there should be plenty although I would love to be wrong. Sorry for being a bit long winded, for me that is, I had a real bad day and a couple Captains make my tongue wag.
600% GAIN OK I'll live with it.
But look more closely at that spread? .05 X .30 ??? Obviously the market is having trouble interpreting what to make of GBRT's next moves.
Well the market is in good company there I personally can confirm that one. I think the speculators are holding sway over the news which mostly is still anticipated and not yet realized.
Large orders on buy and sell side but mostly just testing the waters the volume is low even by CNQ standards. I have been very busy guys I haven't got to the AGM pdf long enough to make an assessment (sorry mitch)
Will do my best and get a long squint at it tonight. But as for today's trading the volatlity to me indicates a lack of strong commitment in either direction. Solution? Yep Mitchmeister is quite correct we need news ....but not fluff! Hold your powder guys my hunch is there are more good buying oppurtunities coming down the pike yet; patience patience which yes I believe WILL be rewarded.
BTW I have a Pro Trader contact in the US whom I have asked to make an unbiased appraisal of GBRT , he is very knowledgeable on things TECH. I can't promise anything guys but hopefully he'll get back to me. I have pretty much got him up to speed on what's happening here so if he is not to snowed under (like I am) he'll return the request but no promises here he is extremely busy as you might expect.
ALL you realize? JMVHO! GLTA
Cheers....Rich
I think what happened was there were 5000 shares for sale at .07, 4000 were bought leaving 1000. I think the seller just said screw it and dumped the remainder at whatever the offer was, .02. Looked pretty dismal there for awhile however the buy today at .14 puts me in the money, that is if I were to sell. Not yet.
Hmmm hadn't even noticed?
So busy today I just got focused on little ol GBRT I wonder how exchange management will react if the CNQ falls prey to NSS? Here is an article that is the best I have seen in describing the problem. http://www.ncans.net/byrneshort.htm
My guess is someone wants this lower and a lower close fits the strategy so they can scoop a larger bunch with everyone looking the other way. No doubt using a super low commission flat rate broker. Either that or they just got lucky hard to really say.
I should correct myself that was not the Exchange President hosting CNQ radio but nevertheless the guy (Beecher?) did an excellent job.
Easy Atom we have to see if this 2 cent close is an anomaly or a trend first IMHO.
Best ...Rich
We're at $0.02 cents, Ouch!
Who was the desperate soul who sold 1,000 sh at the bid? Does that even cover the commission???
Anyone catch this yet?
http://glenbriar.com/corporate/business_edge.php
Kuala Lumpur??? LOL!
Interesting article best I have read on Glenn-Bri-R :)
Wow CNQ Radio Show
It's like night and day compared with Wall Street reporter which was very dry and staid IMHO. This CNQ Radio guy did a great interview BRAVO Robert Cook! He's also the CNQ president? Geez sounds like a very talented guy to my mind.
Rob was far more at ease with the Radio Show than Wall Street Reporter I wonder if Francis Ghaskins is still at Wall Street Reporter he does a super job with tech interviews too. I'll have to check and see if he is around anymore a great interviewer can make all the difference and let's be honest we have to be good for the American listener as well as the Canadian investor.
Well I'm very pleased all in all notice in Wall Street interview mitch20 Rob said we have an eye on long term more than the short term. Did you care to comment? Quite honestly I think if this financing goes through as expected the old numbers just won't jive it's a whole new ball game to my mind. I'm looking for more poppage after we hit the OTCBB if that is the outcome. The financing your correct I think it may not get quite so much exposure on the CNQ I could be wrong we were certainly doooomed on Venture it simply wouldn't have worked. Not for lack of trying mind you the CNQ is really getting aggressive in acquiring new listings IMHO. We shall see of course Clearly Canadian definitely surged on their financing news we'll just have to wait this one out if you don't have a ticket you can't win!
I'd like to see the CNQ go publicly traded that would speak volumes to reluctant share holders of any persuasion. I'm very impressed and expect to be buying more CNQ stocks as their list grows ;very solid progress for this new exchange.
I thought the interview with Robert Cook put the listener immediately at ease that guy must have media experience his delivery was extremely professional and easy to listen to main points. Rob sounded much better too practice makes perfect.
I will mention I heard NOTHING on subject of this controversial financing did I miss something? Okay back to Adobe Reader and more AGM study geez I switched to OS X for ease of use and I'm not sure Adobe Reader is harder to use now? ....brother!
Enjoy your weekend
Perhaps an easier link to webcast
http://glenbriar.com/corporate/interviews.php
Scroll down for CNQ Radio Show
Wow I have issues with Adobe Reader you NEED to be an acrobat! I am extremely relieved Rob came through on suggestion of webcast any American investors on their toes can now get in cheap before we hit American markets (assuming that transpires as expected).

Gee someone sure is in a tizzy...
Hi Mitch :) I have been away the last 16 days and was just catching up to your posts. May I offer some timely observations?
Yes I agree we are all here to make money but any further and I must correct your DD here. The only thing said was not by Rob but by MYSELF and if you recall I mentioned I HUNCHED Rob MAY have something you seized upon the March 10th deadline because of the AGM and I dare say old chap you really have ran with it geez I was thinking you had entered in a marathon? LOL!
It is really dangerous when you start believing what you'd LIKE to happen as opposed to what WILL happen. I think in that regard you have stepped over the line with both feet there mitch? LOL!
No I am just in the door have not heard anything from GBRT when I do I'll sure share it with you but I think you have let your imagination run a little wild here the past two weeks and the danger is everyone begins to judge GBRT by this misinformation. Trust me happens to blue chip plays also nothing new but damaging....you bet.
Sure it's hard waiting and yes frustrating for all but my guess is Rob and GBRT are totally powerless until they get a definite yes or no from the financier. It is quite natural for these deals to have a date set by the company or investor putting up their money allowing them and the other party enough time for adequate DD. That is a professional approach IMHO this is what we are waiting for. Now if we hear about financing at the AGM WONDERFUL but let me make myself crystal clear I did NOT intend anyone to be mislead into thinking that please.
Patience Mitch I'm certainly not going to say any day now but oh how tempting LOL! You really have gotten yourself in a lather here what a state your in but now amount of wringing of the hands will expedite this deal. Let's see what the AGM bringeth and if it isn't earth shattering you better learn to live with yourself before your online hari kari gets a little to brutal to watch and we have to put a PG13 on this thread. LOL!
Hang in there man it's not when or whether the financing goes through that's so crucial right now. IMHO it's more important to look at the mechanics of it. I'm extremely confident it will go through but it could be 6 weeks away yet and yes possibly tomorrow I simply don't know ANYTHING for sure. What I am EXTREMELY interested in is how GBRT on another exchange will effect us.
I see this entity of shareholders the most insignificant eventually perhaps very soon. The majority of them will be influencing the stock the most and if I had to guess right now to my mind I'd say the US shaeholders will likely hold the majority just like Clearly Canadian today the main strenth in shareholders are the American investors they outnumbe rcanadian ones by a large margin. Just don't beat yourself up nailing it down to a certain date you'll drive yourself around the perverbial bend there man!
All you realize mitch20? Extremely subjective theory here and entirely JMVHO! GLTA Have a great weekend for me it's Miller time hang loose and take care.
Cheers....Rich
$0.03 Bid Pulled!
Earlier today there was a .03 bid. I'm guessing it was pulled for FEAR it would get filled and he/she would end up getting stuck with this DOG like the rest of us.
It's time to get the tar & feathers out for Rob, any financing now would be anti-climatic.
Well I guess the things didn't go so good. Has anyone heard anything?
17 Stocks in action.
Here's a shocker, GBRT wasn't one of them.
RichieBoy were are you?
Does anyone know what is happening at the AGM?
All the reasons people give to why they bought this DOG are all valid; - Small Public float (approx 12 mil shares)
- Rob is a great guy, he's genuine, more CEO's should be like him
- VoIP is the next hottest sector
I say HOGWASH to all these reasons.Bottom line is we are here to make money.Rob has one job as CEO and that is to increase value of this DOG and inturn the share price would reflect that. He has had 6 months now, after SHANGHAIING us to the CNQ, to do so and hasn't. The JOKE'S over! We need more transparency from him, more so we have a right to know what the status is with respect to financing.(the last thing I want to hear is, "any day now")
To quote Gordon Gecco, "This is a DOG with FLEAS".
Yea, don't think I'll be quiting work anytime soon. Where's Richie, thought he would be all over this the last few days.
12 minutes in stand up unit yesterday.....preparing for two weeks with Mariner of the Seas (RCL). I questioned my broker maybe 18-24 months ago about buying RCL. Took his advice and didn't buy........since then, it has increased more than 4 times.
There were others he completely was wrong about as well.
I do most of my own investing now days.
This board is dead as this stock!
I can't believe the AGM is tommorrow and not one bit of speculation/opinion on what is about to unfold.
I've got a feeling I won't be getting sloppy on the 11th and the only vacation hot spot I'll be able to afford is 8 minutes in a stand-up tanning booth.(approx. 100 shares @ .08)
19,000 shares traded, are you kidding me?
If we were on that shady exchange (Venture) we would have easily been in the hundred of thousands range. On this DOG exchange we aren't on anyone's radar, except each others. There is Four days left before the AGM and ROB better be throwing a bone our way soon! Why is financing being kept such a secret? Acquisitions?
No news is bad news!Even if there is good news there is no guarantee there will be enough volume to trade out of this DOG.
(ie. 100,000 shares @ $0.50 good luck)
As far as the Feb. report goes;
4.DISCONTINUED PRODUCTS OR SERVICES
- GBRT DID NOT DISCONTINUE ANY OPERATIONS
I take this as a hint that GBRT is still in business.
9.NEW DEVELOPMENTS
- SEE DEC. & JAN. REPORTS
In other words, NONE!
10. EMPLOYEE HIRINGS
- IT SUPPORT REP.
Maybe hired to handle the exorbitant work load created by the two RV software sales.
Rob has had well over a year to get this DOG on track and as of right now, hasn't.
... and that would bring as to $0.50 at asking $
Hold on to your shares people, we may want to plan a big GBRT party somewhere hot and sunny! Any suggestions?
GO GBRT GO
Would you believe 5000 now? Nice to see a few trades no matter what.
Only 14,000 shrs up for sale!
Not much market depth available, everyone willing to sale GBRT a month ago have changed their mind. Let's hope it pays off for all of us who have held for so long. Definitely great to see GBRT start to get some exposure. I really like what they have done with their web site as well, very informative and much more friendly now.
I have called Rob and left him a message...I will post my discussion when I get a chance to speak to him.
Cheers.
Atom
Well boys, hope this is the news we've been waiting for. Been long enough. Would be nice just to see a trade or 2. Ahh, what's another week or 2?
Thanks ............ I am very tempted to add more shares! Feel more comfortable now than in recent months.
Media Coverage!
Looks like our man Rob has been preety busy getting the word out. The next week should be preety exciting around here.
Check it out below:
http://www.cnq.ca/CNQ_NewsRelease/1/101/050302pr.pdf
- Article in Mar 3rd "Wall Street Reporter"
- Business Edge Magazine
- CNQ Radio interviews our CEO
Rob must be holding out on us, me thinks he is saving the best news for next week. I like the strategy.
February progress report shows they've got an additional Voip contract and they've also hired an additional IT person.
All aboard, cause the train is about to leave the station.
By the way, there's some interesting listing on the CNQ. Anyone here following any? I am starting to follow a few. Picked some QDRA.U last week, kicking myself for not picking up more. May bite at XPEL.U
Good luck to all.
You've taken the wind out of my sails!
I was going to beek-off about how this DOG hasn't traded for a whole month. I have slightly less (but close) to the same amount of shares as you and holding tight. One of my motto's is that of my blood type - "B Positive". I'll sit tight and keep an eye out for the action to begin. The AGM is fast approaching and the wait shouldn't be long.
Another one of my motto's comes from my university days,
"IF YOU'RE NOT WASTED, THE DAY IS!"
Here's to getting sloppy drunk on the 11th.
Mich I hear your frustration but hang in there buddy. The Feb report will be out Mar 1st, tomorrow! I am really looking forward and expect some surprises in the report regarding financing. I would also suspect that Rob may be working hard on a NR before the AGM, he wouldn't want his head on a platter! I haven't spoken to Rob lately but I am planning on giving him a call tomorrow if there's no mention of financing in the Feb report.
Don't know how many shares you guys are holding of this puppy but I can tell you I am holding 100k at an avg of $0.09. I am counting on this puppy to pay back and then some!
The reasons I got into GTI er GBRT over a year ago were 'cause of:
1. Management, if only other CEO's could learn a thing of two from Rob - the market wouldn't be such a bag of S_^$% at times.
2. The number of sh held by insiders
3. VOIP potential
4. Peartree & the list of client under their belt...
Let's face it, I betcha any $$$ that the people on this board have at least 1 Million shares of this play put together...that would be close to 10% of the public float and not too many of you are selling are you?
Lets hope for GREAT things to come, real soon. I could use a nice trip to the Bahamas with the mamas!

The lumb in Rob's throat must have been the MILLIONS of new shares he is about to issue.
The more I ponder about what is about to happen, the more frustrated I become.The only saving grace regarding this issue(no pun intended)that I keep coming back to in my own mind is that Rob being the majority shareholder wouldn't be jamming himself in the rear unless he has an alternative motive.
But my real frustration stems from the fact that this DOG seems next to dead.The lack of volume here is killing me along with the lack of communication from the company.No news seems to be bad news.
Instead of asking for those sandwichs with no crusts to be served at the AGM, we should be asking for Rob's head to be served on a platter.
Hi mitch just in and out
Got an hour off ok that soon eh for some reason thought AGM was MAY 10 ok now I follow. Gee no time to ask Rob here about that possible webcast ok thanks will check in here whenever time permits (probably next week) Well hmmmm that's why he didn't want to talk about something obviously he has SOMETHING for the AGM whether it's DA BOMB unsure. OK GTG! TTYL thanks!
Cheers....Rich
March 10 AGM.
I hope someone from GBRT throws us a bone on or before then in regards to the nonsense that is about to unfold.
GBRT should be communicating their intent to us shareholders in some form or another.They should be more transparent like this exchange their on.It was a big enough bomb to us when we learned in October that we would be trading on the CNQ.Now what are they going to drop on us?I guess we'll find out when the dust settles.
Off to make a living
Be gone a week minimum boys they sprung one on me last minute so best of luck here I'm sure we can pick up the topic of expansion into America soon enough but be interesting to see how Clearly does also. Might be a good bell weather they are already firmly entrenched in both markets US and Canada mostly stateside so one to keep an eye on.
I had a conversation with Peter Vartersian the other day most interesting guy and yes mitch I was very impressed. He seems to have his act together having completed similar deals I'd say we are in good shape old boy.
All you realize? JMVHO GLTA GOOOO GBRT
Cheers....Rich
OK waaay to many I better save myself for work here.
Well not so sure mitch
I may have fallen and hit my head last night but on a stack of bibles buddy I only had one beer I swear!
What is the significance of March 10th please? These lapses in my synapses are gettin embarraskin...perhaps more than 4 hours sleep might be a solution but for the life of me March 10th bears no significance to me.
Can you enlighten me here mitch?
WOW,this could be interesting!
These new shares to be issued coupled with listing on a new exchange are probably conditions of the financing agreement.
GBRT has a relatively small float to begin with.(I'm sure Rob will get a good chunk of these new shares to maintain control)
The more shares the more liquid we become, hence we get a more realistic value of this DOG.
Listing on another board, more exposure.
I could be DEAD wrong (Definately not trying to influence anyone's decisions)but I've got a feeling that financing could be in excess of what the previous deal was.
How many more shares, will we be able to move shares between the exchanges,the value of financing, etc. are all questions that will be answered on or before March 10.
I'm looking at this as a positive move, it sure beats just sitting around filling our diaper like we've been doing.
