I could care less about the open. All I know is I'm buyin 500k worth tomorrow morning at the open. I'm doing that in anticipation of the 2nd qtr earnings being gradually better than the FYE 08 and the 1st qtr 09......
Its all about trajectory!!!....lets all have a good Friday tomorrow!!!
49ers!!!!
Lurker,
I just spoke to Tony....he said that they are going to be working over the weekend to get this done hopefully by the end of next week....
I always read into stuff a little more than I have to.....but.....there are a few grammatical errors on that update. It seems that they are in a rush to get this done, and the constant barrage (sp) of inquiries might be getting to them a little. I think we need to let them do their job and kick back and let the money roll in once they uplist.
After all, its friday! Let Clint exhale for once!!! lolol
I spoke to him about 45 minutes ago....sounded like he was on a cell phone driving....he said that the website WILL be updated today. It didnt "sound" like they are going to be announcing an uplist, of 10k, but anything is good at this point. As long as they dont forget about the me (the shareholder) and keep me up to speed, I can tolerate the delays....
Its all good. I just hope we can keep track of the nay-sayers when this things takes off.
Gator,
Have you ever built a custom home? If you have, you obviously know that even with an experienced builder, there are delays. Even with the best planning, and the best intentions, there are invariably going to be delays.
I ask because you comment on ETNL like they should have the resources of a DOW stock, and that anything less than perfect is unacceptable. If you think this stock is a "scam", why are you anywhere near being involved with it? Why do you keep bashing this stock if you think that way? IF you are a shareholder, and aren't happy with the company performance, then sell your shares and buy shares in a company that suits your expectation(s).....
The last time I checked, within the last year; Eternal has made large steps in becoming a more transparent company. They have been approved by the SEC, they are ahead of schedule on their product line(s), and they are moving in the right direction. YES GATOR, they have misjudged some of the timelines they've quoted, but everything they've said their going to do has happened. SO why the fuss?
By the way, I spoke to Tony, (which you should try sometime) and he said that they have been late, but are seeing this process through. They WILL be uplisted, and they will be releasing several PR's when its appropriate.
And the website will be updated with a progress report by the end of business today.
Happy Friday.
Lurker,
I've heard references to "cross"....isnt there a rare "cross" that happens when a stock is ready to take off? I could be way off here....
Also, my sister was watching the news on Friday, and noticed a San Francisco Giants casket in a news report....any ideas how to find out who the news channel was?
Is friday a bad day normally for PR's and filings, etc?
Lurker, to confirm, Tony was saying that the uplist will occur immediately after their 10k, right? I would imagine that we're all gonna be sitting pretty come the 1st week of May.
The numbers are already crunched man!!!!....the auditors are preparing the 10k as we speak!!!!!
Rock n Roll...!!!!
The first PR needs to be their new license!!! Hopefully the NHL or NFL....
Happy Friday y'all....!
Eternal will not be uplisted until their earnings are posted. I spoke to Tony, and he confirmed this.
Lurker,
I need to pick up another million but i'm short on cash and super bitter about it. This price is good right now!
The financials should be out in the next few days, and I'm calling it now----
Once the A/F's are out, we'll "magically" be uplisted within a week. FINRA should be "kicked in the jimmy" for all this BS.
Tony indicated that they cant uplist until the 10k is filed.
Fugundus,
I spoke to Tony yesterday and he indicated the 10k HAS to be filed before they uplist. He said the accountants have left the EI office after gathering all of the pertinent documents to assemble the 10k. How long will it take the accountant(s) to do that is the magic question.
At this point, Eternal Image is out of the scenario regarding their 10k and Uplist. They have done everything they need to do, and can only wait like you and I for the 10k to be manually completed and filed, thus allowing the uplist.
And the 49ers are going to the playoffs this year!!!!
I wont pump Eternal----and I do agree that missing this deadline can be costly in the short term. I justify my concerns with the fact they are a very small company trying to take on the world---they need to get PM and Star Trek out there, then focus on adding to their management/sales/financial team....
This actually "appears" to be a typical blunder that a small company makes. Trust me, I can attest to starting a small business and all of my blunders along with it. But I started 12 years ago, and I'am still here.
I'm sure Eternal is keeping a mental list of all the things NOT to do going forward!!!
lolol
Here we go again. And Wrong again. The PM line is ahead of schedule. How about instead of posting things like that you call Investor Relations.
Do everyone a favor and stop living in the past. Eternal Image sent the proofs for the caskets to PM, and is waiting for the authorization to move forward.
Star Trek will be selling soon as well.
2007 and 2008 are ABSOLUTELY pointless to mention unless you want to focus on a startup company's mistakes.
The delay with their earnings was inadvisable, but do you think getting the earnings next week instead of now means Eternal Image needs to change their management from the top down? Really? Do you expect anyone else to believe that? I think their management is taking their lumps, making mistakes, but is still moving in a positive direction.
But then again, you're perfect, and you've successfully run several start up company's in one of the WORST economic arenas in U.S. history.
wow!!!!.....I wish I didnt see that....lol
C'mon people!!! Get a LIFE!!!! lolol
Lurker---
Which line do you think will do better: PM or Star Trek? Two very different emotional themes, but both have significance to the prospective buyer(s)....
I read (somewhere) that there is a Star Trek convention going on somewhere in the world EVERY DAY....!!....I hope its true, but at the same time, what the heck is up with that!!! lolol
They should have a National Star Trek holiday in the U.S.!!!!
However, I think the PM line will sell alot more than people may think.....I think these caskets will be purchased more emotionally; irregardless of the economy. MLB and the others are equally important lines, but the PM line will not suffer because of the economy.
that wouldnt surprise me.....
This is fine with me---once again, the revenue(s) are important, but I am very reassured that the PM caskets are close to being ready for distribution....
yoyo!
here ya'll go!!
April 15, 2009
Shareholder Bulletin
Dear Shareholders,
The audit team is currently at the Eternal Image office to complete the necessary paperwork required for our 10k filing.
The delay is due in part to the distribution of time and resources that had to be shared with the awaited launch of our new Precious Moments infant and youth line of caskets.
The 10k should be finalized next week.
In addition to the audit team working here today, we also took delivery this afternoon of the first production pieces of the Precious Moments caskets. High-res images of these caskets will be sent to Precious Moments, Inc. for their approval and we anticipate releasing these to market in the next 30 days or so.
GOTCHA---thanks Sparks....
ACTUALLY, They filed for a 15 day extension on the 1st, right? If that's the case, then they would be due tomorrow. I wonder because JP Morgan is filing tomorrow, right. What are the peramteres of the specific date that the earnings HAVE to be filed? I know that some mention their earnings early to try and get out the hole like Citigroup and BofA did, but I'm still a i little unlcear on the EXACT date they are due.
I could be wrong, but why is JP Morgan allowed to wait until tomorrow?
YEAH----not exactly what I wanted either....but then again, He didnt say they would'nt be filed. Its possible they file the earnings at the end of the day though, right?
I just spoke to Tony Fazio. He indicated that the website will be updated this afternoon. He cant comment to me about the details of the update until it is posted.
That doesnt help ya'll a whole lot, but at least we know Eternal is moving forward.....
oh well....
I hope!....nothing new is being mentioned other than a bogus company that sells a generic box-urn that may include an NFL team sticker, or logo device of some sort that you have have to manually place on the urn....
Look through the comments and you'll see the link to this POS!
lol
Actually, he resigned because he was doing Eternal a favor getting them off the ground, and once that occurred, he went back to his full time consultation business.
Stop trying to start bad rumors ya'll....
so you agree its cheesy as heck?
those things are terrible! Please tell me there is something in the box; and that is not what the urn looks like!!!....
It sounds/looks fishy to me because the advertisement says that a NFL licensed plaque is included with the purchase. I doubt they have a contract with the NFL, and if they did, the urns would (i would assume) have the NFL logo permanently attatched to the urn....
somebody might be in big trouble for misleading advertising!!
I just spoke to Tony. There is a "quiet" period for Eternal during their uplist process. I'm assuming that certain figures need to be withheld from PR because they could affect certain details of the accounting review?
Lurker, maybe you could add to that?
Question though....
Are there certain PR's that Eternal cant release? Like specific sales figures, revenues, etc? I'm guessing they would have indicated how many caskets were sold by now if they were able to, right?
I say that because tomorrow (I hope) the earnings comes out, but are they limited by FINRA to release ONLY the amount of revenue, and not specific details?
Maybe a good question for Tony Fazio.....
Lurker,
I shouldn't have used the phrase "dot.com".....It just gets annoying after a while when people have unreasonable expectations for a new company. Everybody make mistakes, but Eternal is getting closer and closer to becoming an industry player, and that is why I invested in them. I dont this company will be a "fly by night" operation.
We're gonna see some numbers on Wednesday, right?
Wrong again. The Star Trek caskets will sell more than MLB and NCAA combined--you have to admit there are some pretty "die-hard" Star Trek fans out there right? Maybe 30 or 40 million? (being modest)....
What about the Vatican and Precious Moments? What about the new contracts they are going to sign?
oops----you're not supposed to be positive in your comments...
Once again, either sell the shares to LABS and watch them make millions off you, or sit tight and let the semantics run their course over the next few years.
I think you're cool to promote the stock at this point. A few years ago......i wouldnt have. I bet they sign up with Star Wars....and the NFL within 2 years.....
Friday is always a good thing. I always say the best part about monday is TUESDAY. lolol
Have a great weekend!
LEAVE IT AT THAT. The company is fine. Its unfortunate that a lot of investors got in a few years ago thinking it was a "dot.com" lottery ticket, but (once again) unfortunately, this is just a normal company, going through normal procedures, and will continue to grow. I'm holding this stock until it is at 3 dollars per share. When will that happen--???--probably in a few years; maybe more.
But I have realtistic expectations and the rest of the bashers need to get realistic as well.
Or just sell their shares to LABS, and eventually watch LeBranch Financial make a killing off them.
Exactly. Once earnings are out, and up-list, the next step will be the 1st qtr earnings. I'm excited to see if-when they announce another license contract. I wish they could get the NFL....I bet that would be pretty darn expensive though, huh?
I'm telling my buddies to start picking up the cheapies right now also....I remember the price was pretty boring before the SEC approval. I'm not thinking we'll jump the day of earnings or uplist, but I really believe that once the company is more transparent, and more licenses are added, this will be at a buck with a year or two....
Friday is EXACTLY 8 hours and 3 minutes away. whew!
Midrew,
Do they make caskets for ESPN? No they dont. The are making caskets and urns for Star Trek. They will be featured in the movie. I guess you'll also say that the ST caskets wont sell. I guess you'll also discredit the sales record of the MLB caskets also. To a certain extent I dont need to see the revenue because they are IMPROVING. IMPROVING. IMPROVING.
But thats not what you want to hear or see, is it.
Do you have shares in Eternal Image?
One more thing---they aren't "ready" to sell. They HAVE sold products, and are continuing to improve their expansion of selling as we speak.
How about instead of trying to bash the stock; call a few funeral homes that stock eternal's product(s). Then bring your positive insight back to this board. Right along with Gator.
You're gonna have to bear with me a little---this is my first Penny Stock.....but if they were able to indicate the number of shareholders had doubled (on their website), then I would guess they could indicate an "estimate" of casket sales on their website also, dont you think?
Its a simple concept Midrew. They have set sales records within the last 5 months, they have began selling the caskets. They have alligned with large distributors. Their products are MORE readily available now than in the past. They have the green light from the SEC. They are going to be featured in Star Trek. Their PM caskets are ahead of schedule. They have paid off their "hard-money" loan. They are lining up more concrete financing. The number of shareholders have since the SEC process began. The company is going to be uplisted in the short term future. The company is reporting earnings from 2008 in less than a week. The company is going to also be reporting the 1st qtr results by July 15th (if not sooner).
Did I miis anything? (probably)
Regardless, cant they just announce the number of casket sold in 2008 and 2009 in the form of a PR?....That is the number I'm focusing on....
cool----Thanks Lurker. I'm gonna try and get a truckload of these cheaps before it runs....I'll follow this up next week.
