Hey...anything to help a friend.
Thanks for the buy. It makes me fell good to see it up $450. bucks for the day.:)
Glad you see it that way on the add exposure...and that is what I call "Street Smart".
Cats are street smart...you must have a cat.
I have been hanging around the 3's and no one likes me to sell to me...so I just found some friends at the 4's that need my money.
I feel better now...I have friends and one fireman.
I guess I'll hold until they retire. They will care about the pps then. Then maybe I'll move to Sweden will all the dough.
Good to know. Never expected a third win. Follow-up position is an excellent result that should yield some added exposure. Just picked up some more 4's
not bad...so much more a reason that they talk to us!
A CLOSE RACE FOR THIS YEAR ....MEDIA ADWARD
Link below shows that OMD took the award and Tre Kronor Three Crown came in second.
WAIT....how close was it....the email from Chairman Froberg says it all...a real heart breaker.....
If this was a football game, I would say lets take a look a that play on video.

Losing with the second decimal….so closer you dont get
Niclas Fröberg
Thanks Lucky15, for the information. Till now they have not been good communicators, at least with shareholders, but lets see if they are good listeners.
Understand....Let me give you two items of news.
In writing a concern letter to past Chairman Lars Thomassen, he sent me an e-mail April 4 regarding UCP and this is what he said....
"As you know, I am out of UCP and now just a passive shareholder. My impression is that the Sweden and Norwegian operations are doing really well and Niclas Froberg is doing a great job.
Lets all hope that Niclas and his team will manage to get the shareprices back to where it should be."
Best regards,
Lars Thomassen
There must be good things happening and we will find out how good soon.
Second item is in today's Swedish newspaper. During this Award Media week there is a call for CEO to be more opened with information...
"It is becoming increasingly important to companies' top executives to marketing and communications issues."stated
Lars G Nordström is Chairman of Vattenfall and is a former president of including Post Office and Nordea.
Today he was interviewed on the Stockholm Media Week, elsewhere he insisted that it is increasingly important to companies' top executives to marketing and communication issues because the tempo is so high today.
- In acute crises can not be president and chairman of the board to wait for the communication manager should collect their department and develop a strategy, said Mr. Nordström. To which companies do not understand the communication is risky, says Lars G Nordström.
- A company's success is based on that you can not communicate error. Communication must be top of mind in the management.It is not about communicating the right but not to communicate errors.
As a CEO you have to ensure that they are selling works before you disclose it.
I would say that Niclas and Carl was in the meeting.
BUY....only if you can lose it and walk away without any lose of sleep and understand that you may need to wait three years before seeing a profit.
Now that being said, I have been buying more shares between 0.0004 and 0.0006. I never buy stock....always funds or ETF....but I broke my rule a few years ago because I had a good feeling about UCP. Now it may take sometime to see the stock back up to 5 cents but who really knows....it could take off. I think UCP is doing well with cash flow.....so it's not going broke anything soon. I think that 1st qt. report is going to show us an operational company for the first time that is taking positions for future growth.
The concern I have at this time is that we stay in the US on the Pink Sheet. I do like the idea of having a duel exchange oversees.
Please understand that my "thinking" is from a barn cat so do your homework....remember...NO PAIN...NO GAIN.
The only way a turtle can go forward is stick its head out.
We must do the same when it comes to UCP....sticking our head out.
Sometime cats don't even receive respect from a turtle that is moving forward....
It's increasingly difficult to stay focussed and somehow believe that, management aside, things are ok with the company and moving forward. This is manageble up to a point but there comes a time that the disparity between turnover/income and share price can no longer be accepted and explained as "the stock is under the radar, presently unknown" etc therefore the low stock price. That is the stage you have to ask yourself if there might be something fundamentally wrong with the company and that what is published and read in the newspapers is untrue.
If the 1st quarter figures again show strong growth and share price stays at .0003/4 then you have to wonder if something sinister may be at work. Just my thinking.
Have already 2M shares .. maybe I should buy more..
I love ur enthusiasm Lucky. I will remain hopefull. Thx for the reply and positive words.
Sorry scienceguy....this stock won't burn because it will be making money this year.
Well...I'm happy you are long and not short.
Tell you what.....if I was a preacher cat....I would ask you to believe...I mean really believe in UCP management making money...
now forget about if they can talk to stockholders...we know they must be shy....and BUY more stock today which would bring you cost down per share.
In other words, dollar cost avg. ONLY IF YOU BELIEVE.
Now take that and put it in your fire truck.
Lets here it for firemen!! lol
Just horsin around Lucky. I thought I would throw some humor into the bleak stock.
Im still long, seeing as I cant do anything else at this moment.
I could try to set it on "Fire"
heheehehehe
Great Question.....There are so many ways to cut a deal. I really don't have a clue on the "how" to make it happen...If it does happen.
All I know is how can a public company grow if it doesn't communicate with shareholders? How can they be happy If they have shareholders upset with their action or no action?
Believe me......they have feelings that are no different than you or me......every morning they put their pants on one leg at a time....unless they are firemen.
I hope we do stay public because I plan not to sell for 3 - 5 years.
??? I'm buying on the bid.
Going to sell more .0003 Weds.? Something that the ask was still at .0005.
Nonetheless, I'd find a buyout scenario a very interesting option. We'd have to bring together the largest float holders, form a corporation, and get a funding partner.
However, management would very unlikely be willing give up control at all.
alternatively, you'd have to acquire a controlling interest on the open market or approx. 870m shares. Problem being, management holds 51%+ already.
Last one was the average price.
buyout offer price = whatever someone is willing to pay
How would a buyout price be determined?
Yes....dogs are better than cats when it comes to making the owner feel good.
Cats have a way to stand back and think about what is happening base upon the past which would be a window into the future.
Let me bring it down to UCP owners.
Sometimes we appeal to our own behavior in order to predict the behavior of others. We do say to ourselves,"What would I do if I were him?" The UCP owners love to run and operate a private company which is great. But now they have overnight a public company to run....this is not their style of doing business. Soooo...we put ourself in their place and with all the signs of not speaking out and giving the stockholders a vision and day by day the stock keeps falling.....one must think like a cat and put yourself into their place and say...I WANT OUT of this public company.
Yes...dogs can bark loud but cats are thinking about the family next door up at 2am because of the barking.
But are dogs are better than cats ?? /Bark Bark !!
Article posted today in Sweden paper at 8:26am their time...........
Below is the link. Once there...go half way down and click on
THEY CAN BE MEDIA REPRESENTATIPN YEAR...it will take you to the article.
http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=sv&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dagensmedia.se%2F
It's hard to beleive that they could win three years in a row, however, if I was going to bet on a win or not....I would bet WIN.
Why.....these men hate to lose and let me take it one more step....they love having a private company without stockholders looking at the books or asking when will that report be out.
OK...I 'm not going to say anymore in this email about what COULD happen in the future with UCP. It is a cat gut feeling and that's all.
Everyone knows my thinking and if not read...IS SILENCE OF THE LAMB BACK......post 1214.
Do you have a link for this article? Is it from this year? I didn't expect to see TKM nominated again.
I am 100% sure that the shareholders will not hear it from UCP.......
However....they can run but they can't hide so the papers will have the winner. Below is a link from LAST YEAR AWARD.

In looking at the history of both Niclas and Carl, they do know how to make money...Both Scored 100....but running a public company and having an open relationship with their stockholders they receive a score of 10. Look...I don't know why I gave them 10 point....maybe cats are a little nicer than humans.
Well lucky if they win we will read it in the swedish newspaper but I doubt you'll hear it from the company....
Stockholm Media Award....and the Winner Is............
Sorry...Not Yet.....but we will know this week if Tre Kronor Three Crown (UCP) will win for the third year in a row.
Wow...the Swedish newspaper below said that one thing that makes a different in winning is SATISFIED CUSTOMERS.
Are you a SATISFIED SHAREHOLDER....If Not......Let Niclas and Carl Know.

NEWS MEDIA EXPOSURE IS A HIGH PROBABILITY
What rakp post 1905 is really saying is...........
UCP TO SHAREHOLDERS........GET LOST
Below is rakp post which is worth repeating.
“You get the feeling running a public company is a drag to them...as far as the public part is concerned and would rather exclude us from the equation altogether. They seem to see us as just a nuisance. If that's the way they really think or would like to operate why not say so. Listen guys you will get 4 yearly updates and that's it...don’t expect anything more....and as far as our roadmap is concerned...don’t call us, we will call you if we feel like it.”
So the questions are.......
1. Why would UCP management not communicate?
2. Is this what the past Chairman Lars was thinking when he said that "we were in good hands?”
3. Do they not need stockholders support ever?
HIGH PROBABILITY…………..
This UCP message board is showing a high percentage of those who are posting are unhappy with the new owners because they are not communicating with their shareholders.
Based on the unhappiness of UCP shareholders, there is a HIGH PROBABILITY that the Swedish news media are going to pick up this unrest and run stories concerning what is happening with the company. Why would this happen? No one can operate a public company with the shareholders being this unhappy without the news media running the unrest with the company shareholders.
You get the feeling running a public company is a drag to them...as far as the public part is concerned and would rather exclude us from the equation altogether.

They must have the numbers for 1qt.
Why the wait
Why the quietness
Why
Why
Past Chairman Lars said that we are in good hands.
Are we
True, but I expected them to set a sign and come out on time. May still happen, but we will more likely see another 3 weeks with minimal volume, if any volume at all. I feel like they have no interest in running this company like a publicly listed firm. Or they are looking to get the price down even further for one reason or another.
It is very unlikely that their holdings have changed. Why? Until March 12 2012, they certainly had to file any changes with the SEC which did not happen. I also think that they are still obligated to file a form 4 for any changes now. But even if not, volume was so low after March 12th that any possible changes to their holdings cannot be material in size.
Does not add up on why the wait. Soooo.....
here is the question..........
Can anyone tell this barn cat who loves the food
in San Antonio....
How Many Shares Niclas and Carl have right now......
This answer may open the door to a lot of questions.
Good Luck On Your Search
Will give them credit, at least they gave a weeks notice!
Date changed to: May, 2012
Poor, management! Playing the same game as in April! Would you do this for a client-deadline as well?
Not me......it is sooooo quiet in Sweden....no news in
the papers...radio...TV....the
management group or any other company.
It's like they all went home or to a bar.
Could this be the quietness before the storm?
It's like if we say anything the stock just may go up.
I would really like to know just who is holding the share float if there are - literally - only a handful of people from this board interested in the stock and there is no volume coming from outside Ihub?
Nice little 2,000 share(80cent) bid whack.
Still have May 15, 2012 deadline on their website
waiting continues
http://ucpworld.com/
yet another epic volume day! Something's must be up for sure
rakp...do we have BLIND FAITH in UCP..............
In your post, I would hope that we who have the faith in UCP have a brilliant intellect. In fact, I think we have up to a hundred folks on this board that are not posting....which is fine....and many have the "Form 15 Shocker".
Their faith in UCP has been uprooted and they need management to give them a word that everything is going to be OK.
Lets look at the overall picture from where we were three year ago to now. HOW LUCKY CAN YOU GET. Buying Bark Group at 50 to 60 cents per share with a past year of only 4 mil. in sales. I do not like to avg. down and did not start until Niclas and Carl came on board. Why did I break my own rule....I studied their past history of running companies and liked what I saw. I have said here before...they are talented...smart....and have a way of drawing people together as a team. I stated that we are all lucky...so how...think of UCP WITHOUT them. Since the MBO (management buy out) I do not think UCP needed a loan to keep going. Before then....loans were coming in all the time. What make the different...Niclas and Carl knows how to make money and that is why UCP has a positive cash flow. How lucky are we....very and where will that luck take us.....back to a higher share price and a company that will grow every year.
What would I like to see happen now to improve the faith folks did have.....UCP management give the shareholders their vision for the future.
IT JUST THAT SIMPLE.
Now that I know AUTO is willing to step down, I'll wait for 4's lol
Seems AUTO said enuf, moved his 12M down to 0005
There are many firms flying high on much less substance. At least, I'm pretty confident that there is a real business behind this stock producing good and growing revenues. Can't say that about most pinkies.
smart money loads up first they say...lol
You are right, it appears that there is only a handful of people interested in this stock and company.
Isnt that great! There are 180 reg. shareholders many working at the bag factory.
