Correct, lemmeh. Brad Huebner has been pumping LD Holdings for five months now. Guess he won't be any more.
Brad Huebner from the BH Group indicted on 83 counts of conspiracy. www.toledoblade.com/local/2012/09/3-local-men-face-chargesof-defrauding-investors.html. I think this is the guy that owns the promo company of Ldhl. Doing some dd on this!
Judging by yesterday's action I guess he's had his regular fill.
Was unaware of the background, thanks.
Sounds like I'm not the only promoter John screwed over.
This stock is a turd. John uses it as his personal little piggy bank. He hires promoters from time to time to generate enough interest to pay his bills and then stiffs the promoters.
It's nothing but a worthless shell company.
Why would anybody buy this POS stock? Seriously???
Crickets... ? +48% today but judging by the chart, getting in is a bit tricky.
Tell John, he never paid me my 200,000 shares back from 2008 for promoting this turd for him. This company is and has always been just a shell for John to make money from.
It's funny how some stocks that could potentially explode, have the loneliest boards.
Like I said hold and allow the buying to occur.
This can run so much higher if we just hold on to our shares and allow the buying to occur.
Corporate Strategy
PPS = Market Cap / Shares Outstanding
PPS = 37,000,000 / 24,500,000
PPS = 1.51
It is amazing what can happen with low float stocks when people hold and buy. We are up 45% and the market has been open for less than an hour now. It only took about 20k volume to move like that. I plan to see $1 again and this time stay in that area for longer.
The trick with these low float stocks is that they move on little volume. If current holders hold for a while and we accumulate (more shareholders buy), we can jump up very nicely. The dollar run happened so fast and it can happen again if we holder during the buying rather than sell. I know it is tempting to sell, I sold out too early and now I am back because I realized low floats can deliver amazing percents. GLTYA
Another set up from LDHL, this time I'm in for .50 or higher. Let's go!
with confirmed 20' break has SS to go higher for strong gain opp at these levels
LDHL
Congrats!. I jumped too soon!!
LDHL .21 WOW I'm out!
Someone knows something that we Don't know?I would think a R/M would be coming
I closed out my 160k position @ 7. Didn't think I'd ever see daylight again on this one but I averaged down and ended up with a double. Took 4 years, though...lol
Closed with a 95k bid @.07
I noticed, too. Wonder what's up? This one's been deader than dead for a long time!
LDHL .06/.20 someone has been buying shares the last few days @.06
I see Mr. Ayling is pumping his stock again. I wonder if he knows solicitation for private investment is against Regulation D rules.
LDHL now .03 / .05
Maybe they got that diner open and sold a burger or two??
I think this stock is dead. droped to .005 and the last buy was 150 shares at .02? wounder how much that trade costed?
All this is my opinion!!!! The "diner" concept. Check out "Rick's Silver Moon". Perrysburg, Ohio. IMHO it appears to be "owned" by John. LDHL will buy his diner and announce a big business plan. I suggest, BE CAREFUL if you plan to invest.
PS: John you let me down on that other SCAM when we talked. IMO.
I lost big money. (My fault, of course).
ALL IMO ONLY. Good luck to all honest people!!!!!
$7.00 A SHARE. I SOLD 700K BELOW 0.05 FOR LOSS. 3 YEARS AGO THEY WOULD CALL WITH PROMISES THAT THEW WILL TRADE SOON AN AMEX.
GOOD LUCK WHO EVER BUYS THIS POS.
THIS IS NOT EVEN ME.THEY HAVE LIST OF EMAIL THAT THEY EMAIL EVERY SIX MONTHS OR SO.

Dear Mr. Tomkiel,
Thank you for your investment in LD Holdings, Inc. (LDHL:OTCBB). It was a pleasure speaking with you today. We value you as a shareholder and are committed to building the long-term value of your investment and confidence in us. We believe that our business plan is a large and timely one and will do much to help the shareholders of LD Holdings, Inc. be very proud of their investment. You can rest assured, that the management is very shareholder conscience and welcomes suggestions from shareholders about things that can help us execute our business plan.
Our main focus, other than operating the business, rolling out our Area Sales Director model (ASD) and searching for acquisition candidates, is to expand our shareholder base. We need to expand our shareholder base by about 500 shareholders. This will allow us to become eligible to be listed on a larger exchange, which will give us more exposure and more liquidity to access institutional investors and institutional financing. We would like to know of any of your family, friends or associates who may be interested in this early stage type of investment. We encourage you to introduce them to the company and/or call one of the company officials or myself and we would be happy to talk to any potential shareholder at length.
Our plan shows that if we can increase our shareholder base by 500 over the next year, we believe the price of the stock, with the larger liquidity and float, could approach over a dollar a share. Our 5 year business plan, if achieved, would show a price of about $7.00 a share, assuming we can make acquisitions, get financing, integrate those acquisitions and hold our outstanding share count to an acceptable level. This will give us a valuation based upon normal market multiples.
The following quote symbolizes what our corporate philosophy is:
“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost proverb. Education is not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan “press on” has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.”
- Calvin Coolidge, 30th president of the United States -
If you have not yet done so, I encourage you to visit our two websites at
www.ldholdings.com and www.nanocapnation.com and to also share these sites with your friends and family. I have also attached an Investor Information Sheet for you.
Your comments and questions are always welcome and I invite you to contact us at any time.
Once again, thank you for your investment and confidence in your company’s future.

THIS MANAGEMENT WILL TAKE YOUR MONEY AND DISAPIER.
LD Holdings, Inc. anticipates over the next few weeks and months, that the company will start to accelerate its business plan which is to fill a void in the sale and transfer of "Baby Boomer" aged businesses to the next generation of entrepreneurs. The void in the market place is companies between $2 - $20 million in sales and $.5 - $3 million in EBITDA. This segment is generally too large for individual investors to finance and too small to attract institutional financing.
The company's plan is to bring together businesses that are for sale, next generation entrepreneurial management and financing with a key element of financing being small Angel Investors from around the world. Collaborations, partnerships, reorganizations, spin-offs, joint ventures and other means will be used to enhance shareholder value.
Through its wholly-owned subsidiary, LD Financial, Inc., the company has started providing consulting services to corporate clients through its Business Services Division. This Division of LD Financial will initially target a tri-state area consisting of Ohio, Indiana and Michigan and has started generating revenue. Plans are to establish additional regional offices over the next 12 - 18 months.
LD Financials’ Business Services Division’s initial marketing efforts will focus on businesses that are in need of additional sales in this period of economic stress. Many of these programs are designed with a small monthly retainer and results-based compensation that is based on the incremental increase in sales achieved for the client. Additional consulting services include: business partnering or company sale, corporate financing and executive search, as well as general consulting services in terms of strategic corporate planning.
Another wholly-owned unit, is being launched with experienced management personnel and will source acquire and manage companies that operate in an underserved segment of the small business market. This segment is companies with sales between $2-20 million. It is LD Holdings goal to acquire 40-50 of these companies with an average $10 million in sales, over the next 5-7 years. These companies should be rampable and scaleable to drive organic growth after acquisition.
The initial business unit is anticipated to be a "Local" Diner Concept, which has proven successful over the last five years, located near the company's headquarters in Perrysburg, Ohio. The Diner Concept appeals to local repeat customers who are know on a first name basis and are greeted by attractive personable waitress staff and served consistent value-driven food items in generous portions. The atmosphere has a local, "what's happening around town" flavor. This sets the stage for the company to get its tentacles into the local community and has its loyal customer base as a source for finding businesses that are for sale. Some of these customers will also become shareholders in the parent company. It is anticipated the company will open or collaborate to have 10 -12 locations operating over a three state area (Ohio, Michigan, Indiana) over the next 12 - 18 months.

LD Holdings, Inc. (LDHL) is a financial and management holding company focused on a niche business opportunity created by changes within the Baby Boomer generation, the largest demographic group in America. An overwhelming amount of the 25 million small businesses in the United States will be sold in the next 15-20 years as Baby Boomers begin to transition out of business ownership and into retirement. Employing a strategic three-step approach, LD Holdings seeks to take advantage of this shift by acquiring multiple profitable business entities to produce venture capital returns while mitigating the risks associated with venture capital start-ups.
LD Holdings is currently targeting acquisitions in four sectors: biomedical, tech, entertainment and the green sector. The company recently secured a $10 million line of credit from a qualified institution to pursue its acquisition targets. This credit facility will enable LD Holdings to complete its first three acquisitions, which will total $16 million sales and $2.3 million EBITDA. The company anticipates closing on the acquisition of its first target, which is in the green sector, in the third quarter of 2014.
By merging acquired entities into cohesive business units, LD Holdings sees its potential to generate revenues of more than $30 million during the first five years of active operations.
With qualified management and a firm understanding of small business, LD Holdings is positioned to capitalize on the changing dynamics of the Baby Boomer generation while enabling investors to diversify their investment by owning several companies with increased valuations in various sectors rather than just one company at a time.
Investment Highlights
Business Units
LD Holdings’ business model and services are carried out through two key operating divisions, each with distinctive responsibilities throughout the acquisition and operational processes.
The Business Services Division includes the buyers, managers and investors of the prospective companies; the Business Operating Division will manage the portfolio of companies in which LD Holdings will hold varying percentages of ownership.
At the corporate level will be the support professionals that will be needed in various capacities by all of the acquisitions.
Portfolio Expansion Process
LD Holdings’ Business Services Division is the heart and soul of the company. It’s where the acquisitions are found, due diligence is performed, and investors are sourced to provide the funds to purchase a target company. For further support, either the acquisition target’s existing management and/or individuals in LD Holdings’ database of young entrepreneurs will complete this acquisition team to grow the parent LD Holdings through a 3-Step process:
STEP 1
Keep an existing database of target companies that meet company criteria, and continually source and locate new businesses for sale. This allows the company to look for synergistic opportunities to combine one or more acquisition candidates at some future date. This database also provides LD Holdings with a historical perspective of different industries and distribution channels along with any type of geographical variation in the valuation of businesses.
Much like the residential housing market, where sellers hesitate to reduce their asking price only to find themselves “chasing the market lower” as transactional prices steadily decline, people tend to remember the past worth of their asset rather than what the asset and terms of sale are in the current market environment.
STEP 2
Maintain a database of entrepreneurs with specific backgrounds and expertise that will be available for both acquisition evaluation and strategizing the post-acquisition business model once the financial aspects of the transaction are determined. Particular attention will be given to developing relationships with those entrepreneurs and managers that want a career opportunity to perform in a results-driven environment, which has the associated incentives in place to create personal wealth for them and above-average returns for the company’s stockholders.
STEP 3
Keep an ongoing database of investors who share the company’s vision and objectives. LD Holdings is searching for long-term investors willing to hold their positions for at least a year, desirous of superior rates of return and looking for ground-floor opportunities.
LD Holdings currently has a database of 250,000 potential companies, 800 entrepreneurial leaders, and a growing number of institutional and non-institutional investors.
Baby Boomer Market & Strategy
There are currently more than 25 million small businesses in the United States, and economists estimate that of these, small businesses with an aggregate value of more than $17 trillion will be sold over the next 15-20 years. A stunning majority of these businesses is owned by the largest demographic group in America, which represents 78 million Americans: the Baby Boomers.
Using this as a focal point, LD Holdings has identified a significant business opportunity to fill an impending void in the small business space. As the Baby Boomer generation rounds the corner to retirement, LD Holdings’ strategy is to become a “known buyer” for those individuals looking for an exit strategy into retirement.
Because of the difficulty of financing and lack of competition in this area, LD Holdings sees an opportunity to buy great value.
The First Value Driver is the ability to bring together smaller non-transparent, non-liquid private companies and build larger public company groups. This allows for higher valuations because of size. Secondly, the valuation differences between private and public companies in this small company sector are 2-3 times higher for public companies. The Third Value Driver is to bring in younger entrepreneurial, highly incentivized leaders to replace the retiring owners, which will drive organic growth through superior marketing, sales and technology skills.
LD Holdings initially will focus on profitable companies with $25 million in revenue or less, and those with existing management and personnel, brand equity, customers and cash flow at discounted prices. The company will then attempt to produce Venture Capital-type returns without venture capital risks of a start-up company.
The five-year plan is to accumulate at least 50 of these small companies and to meld them into cohesive business units whenever possible. Using a conservative $10 million of revenues as an average, this will result in consolidated total revenues of $500 million by 2018.
The company's initial focus is on four broad business sectors that are aligned with the goal of doubling each company's value over a three-to-five year period of time:
LD Holdings will be aggressively using the Internet and various major investor groups to find Angel Investors that are looking for a higher than normal rate of return to provide the capital while the search for these business acquisitions is being conducted.
Funding Objectives
To help accomplish its funding objectives for acquisitions, LD Holdings has established two affiliated websites to assist private investors: nanocapnation.com for U.S. based investors; and for international investors, nanocapglobal.com, which will serve as the focal point to develop financing centered on a qualified and screened database of 1,500 accredited investors (Angels and Institutions) and 1,500 non-accredited investors.
Within these investor groups, there would be a core group of 300 investors designated as “The Platinum Group.” This group of investors will be given first look at any transactions deemed suitable for them.
With more than 25 million small businesses in the USA, and $17 trillion worth of businesses expected to be sold over the next 15-20 years, there will be many opportunities for wealth generation.
However, financing the purchase of companies that have sales of $25 million or less and earnings of less than $4 million, has been difficult and now with new banking regulations is almost impossible. LD Holdings intends to help investors capture this wealth generation by sourcing companies for sale, doing the proper due diligence, and if they meet LD Holding’s criteria, acquiring these companies.
LDHL intends to move its acquisitions into the public market and acquire these companies for $0.50 to $0.75 on the sales dollar while financing them for $1.50 to $2 on the sales dollar due to the public market leverage of 2-4 times.
