OH YEAH SFIO green is always time to celebrate even if it really doesn't mean anything cause 1. the fact that it is still trading 2. the fact that it is capable of trading up, hence the green 3. that somebody is getting a hell of a deal even if it isn't me. But none of what I've written probably doesn't mean a hill of beans to anyone except llllllllooooooooonnnnnnng term investers, not short term traders. So I can see how for short termers and flippers this sort of trading active is so meaningless. But as a llllllllooooooonnnnngggggg termer it just EXCITES THE LIVING CRAP OF ME. The South and SFIO will rise again. GO SFIO. GLTM(e)
As an SFIO long term investor attempting to find a positive twist to all this inactivity as we see it and the beating up that SFIO has endured from the nansayers, is it possible, just looooooong shot possible that perhaps while SFIO sits in "limbo", as an E-cig, it is actually benefiting from all the advertising on which other E-cig companies are spending money . I know, I KNOW! it doesn't advertise REAL but because the industry as a whole is still in it's infancy let's let the others introduce to the world on their dime a new way of smoking and then perhaps after a certain infiltration of E-cigs into the market then SFIO comes charging in on a white horse then advertising a "NEW" new way to smoke unimpeded by bureaucracies and policies and laws because it is a revolutionary technology that is vaporless and smokeless.
whittenhalljr. Yes they did roll into SFIO. I woke up one day and CSDP began trading as SFIO. Maintained same amout of shares.
COURTSIDE PRODUCTS (CSDP) WAS SUSPENDED BY THE SEC FROM TRADING FOR APPROXIMATELY 2(TWO)YEARS BACK THEN. I KNOW BECAUSE I WAS THERE.The trading was suspended due to the investigation, trial, and the sending of 3 scumbags to prison who engaged in a spam pump and dump of the CSDP stock. I received one of those Emails about how this up and coming company was prime to be bought out by the likes of Kmart. Being new to stock investing and totally blind to the behind the scenes scumbag practices I dove right in. During the course of the investigation and all the proceedings I was kept apprised of what was happening because as one of the shareholders I was recieving emails from the department of justice. Not long after the convictions and the 3 scumbags were sent to rather lengthy prison terms the stock once again began trading but didn't really do anything after all that until it became SFIO.
ONCE AGAIN CSDP WAS SUSPENDED FROM TRADING.
PERHAPS and this is just a huge PERHAPS in my speculative opinion that the Website was not part of a looooooong range biz plan but instead a means of R&D. A way of getting early stage product to the public in order to get feedback so that said product could be adjusted and tweaked. I think if I remember some posters spoke of how a website wasn't the way to get the product to market as opposed contracting with big distrubutors and let the them take care of getting the product to the public. JUST MY LITTLE OLE OPINION.
Ok naysayers your turn knock yourself out.
Well I am, so Maddog 720, I'll bottoms up one for you in celebration of this wild and crazy SFIO insanity. CHEERS to you and all believers in the SFIO journey. GO SFIO, THE NO BRAINER.
SFIO still locked at Eturd
Mr. Cyberbully would you please help me to understand something that I am terribly confused about. You state that "IF I owned this GARBAGE,(hmmmmm still wondering then why you waste your time here) I'd be seeking class action against the people who sucked wallets". The way the you and the "cabal" continue to speak of SFIO as being "GARBAGE" and being "DEAD" and all but out of business, would a class action or any legal remedy be a waste of time and money to pursue given that "you can't squeeze blood from a Turnip".
Just my liddle ole opinion.
TradewindsTX don't have PM but am curious are you between Gregory and Bayside Tx goin out 136? I'm in Corpus Christi. Small world if you are.
"Could be the longs are not selling at such low PPS." Well yes and no. Yes I'm not selling and am not going to sell any SFIO shares at these artificially low prices when the potential for much higher PPS looms. NO! I'm not going to sell only for the fearmongers to suck em up as well as those needing to cover their phantoms. "Just waiting it out for the lock to be lifted." As a long why would I be in anticipation of the lock being lifted. It seems to me only the flippers, shorters, traders are the ones wetting all over themselves for the lock to be lifted so as to be able to get back to the business of abusing this SFIO stock. As a long my concern is not with the lock so much as it is with the behind the scenes happenings dealing with SFIO's fundamentals. Take care of the Fundamentals and the share structure and the LOCK will take care of it's self. Just my liddle ole opinion.
SFIO IS A NO BRAINER. GO SFIO
Hey Vry now that's funny. A little humor is a great way to start a Monday.
Kwoky, Yep, One year is the break between short term and long term capital gains. As of right now once you've held SFIO stock for one year the long term capital tax rate is 15%, for now. Unless government's so called leaders have changed the rate and I'm unaware. Ya never know.
I HOPE THIS STOCK STAYS LOCKED HOWEVER LONG UNTIL THE FUNDAMENTALS ARE STRONG ENOUGH THAT THE ABUSE OF SFIO CANNOT AND WILL NOT CONTINUE. I'm in it for the lllllllllllooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggg haul so I don't care how long it stays locked. This is so pathetic but not surprising considering what I read on this board. Once again just my liddle ole opinion. GLE
thanks TD and EY and all the SFIO long believers to this point regardless of where it goes. Long is the only way. I hope it blows passed a point where it can never be abused again.
To use Topdog's coined phrase. "SFIO IS A NO BRAINER".
Go SFIO
gman, might want to cut TS some slack for if you haven't noticed, I'm thinking, that English might very well be second language to TS and doing quite well I might say.
Tom4 with all due respect you might say Elite Yoda and Topdog have tenure on this SFIO board and when they speak one should listen cause what they have to say is most necessary and relevant. I can assure you I've been here long enough to know. The SFIO trading release by DTCC will, in my opinion, be like some people's belief in a second coming. Nobody knows, probably not even DTCC at this point. It will happen when it happens, like a thief in the night.
I don't see how the longs are getting screwed in this SFIO DTCC lock as was previously posted. I am very long and strong in SFIO and quite frankly am enjoying the lock out of the flipping and the shorting and other, what is in my opinion, abuse of SFIO stock. So long as I can continue to hope that there are behind the scenes happenings such as we now have the Deluxe Kits and perhaps other positive developments then one day, however long that takes, the fundamentals will be so strong that there we be no more daily enduring of the trading abuse of SFIO stock. Besides, if the DTCC will delay the release of the SFIO trading till after January 2012 and management can build strong fundamentals then my substantial SFIO position will be long term capital. Could happen, stranger things have. GO SFIO IT'S A NO BRAINER. Just my little ole opinion.
Mr. BrokeDoc I so appreciate your posts forwarning ignorant investors like myself that lack the truth and knowledge and incite to know exactly more so than the management of Sfio of the companies position and future without even reading any of the necessary financials that have not even been submitted for publication yet. And to think there are unscrupulous posters that would entice me to buy.I'm so glad that there are no posters who would submit posts saying that the company no longer is viable and is a has been. It would be much appreciated if when you find these kind that you would identify them as those that want to make investors sell, probably at a loss, just so they can pick up the losers cheap shares.
Thanks and keep up the good work at protecting the newbies
Cyber The Courtside Products Company was in no shape form or fashion connected with Ecig industry or the people running it. Was not even close. The people running CSPD were never responsible for the scam and the SEC lock was to investigate and ultimately imprison 3 scumbags totally discconnected from onwnership or management. What they purpetrated was ousiders carrying out the old PUMP AND DUMP. So to say SFIO is just the same old company scamming investors from before is TOTALLY 100% INACCURATE. Can't use this angle for bashing SFIO cause there no truth in it.
Yeppers Elite Yoda, those were the guys that I as well as countless other investors or should I say suckers were getting Emails from pumping the dickens out of courtside products which later became Smokefree Innotec. Was my first experience at all kinds of trading and definitely a costly one to the tune of 2000 to 3000 thousand dollars, but actually, though it's been 5 or 6 years ago and the 3 scumbags went to prison and those shares have become SFIO shares and I'm very very very green right now setting aside all fundamentals and the technicals. Not being a very religious or spiritual person, I am so convinced that there is an unforseen reason why I am in this stock. Star alignment or whatever and I know there are those that will pound me for violating all the rules of investing and the mods will probably $#@t can this but sometimes it's just dumb luck and blind faith. Because I should not even be in this stock given that CSDP was pretty much where all the naysayers here say SFIO is now. Yet I'm still here listen to all of the Oh Ye of little faiths or maybe they do have faith and don't want anyone else to have the faith in SFIO. What a history SFIO has had and yet it is still here again fighting yet another set of battles just in a different venue.
Again it is my belief and faith that SFIO will emerge as a battlehardened winner of a company. GO SFIO. SFIO IS A NO BRAINER.
and GLTA
IS THE GLASS HALF FULL OR HALF EMPTY??? What with the lock, I'm preferring to think of my rather substantial number of SFIO shares as Bonds or CD's which will mature in a year. Yeah it's like being a kid, waiting for Christmas. Oh but opening those presents at the end of the wait. Long live the lock.
PATIENCE is key.
Go SFIO
AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH listen. SSSSShhhhh. Whata ya hear? That's right peace and quiet on the SFIO chart. id n it nice. And we have the lock down to thank for quelling the manipulation, abuse, and over all corruption involved with SFIO's PPS. Yep, the lock down, in my opinion, it's a keeper. GO SFIO.
I DON'T CARE WHAT THE REASON IS FOR SFIO'S LOCK DOWN. ALL I KNOW IS THE ABUSERS OF THIS STOCK ARE PRETTY MUCH SITTING ON THE SIDELINES DOING NO HARM. IT IS A LONGS DREAM FOR I'M LOOKING OUT SEVERAL MONTHS IF NOT YEAR OR SO TO ALLOW THE COMPANY TO DEVELOP WITH A RELATIVELY STABLE PPS. GO SFIO AND GO DTCC. JUST THIS LOWLY LONG'S OPINION. HAVE A NICE INVESTOR'S DAY.
WELL WELL WELL Isn't it amazing the stability the lock down has givin to SFIO PPS. Perhaps this is but a smidgen of reality as to how much manipulation there really has been what with a good number of the manipulators lock down. All the reason why I say keep it locked down for as looooong as it takes to get SFIO solidly on its way and the PPS can stand on it's on and us longs will no longer have to sit on the sidelines and endure the PPS abuse. GO SFIO. JMO
The pps movement of SFIO is less erratic than before the lock. It seems that the lock has curbed the abuse of SFIO by those trading for immediate gratification for chump change. It seems that for anyone truly long in SFIO, the lock is truly a positive happening.
In summation keep this baby locked down for as looooong as it takes to clean this mess up. JMO.
this is my oneaday.
Courtside Products was a small company that made athletic carry bags and was traded under the symbol CSDP until it was picked up as a shell in early 2009 when it was then traded under SFIO. In 2006 give or take and for a couple of years the SEC suspended all and total trading of CSDP while the FEDS prosecuted 3 pumpers and dumpers for their roles in spamming and slamming of CSDP. Ultimately the 3 purps were tried and convicted and recieved prison time. One may still be in prison cause one of the sentences I believe was for around 7 years. As one who was "damaged" by their criminal behavior I was on a list of investors who were sent Email updates from the US Department of Justice concerning these criminals. The others were like 2 and 3 maybe 4 years. The feds finally released it for trading but it never got out of .000 land. So technically this is the SECOND suspension of this stock. When I say I'm long I mean I'm looooonnnnggggg for I was one of those back in 2004-5 that bought into the CSDP because of the spamming and pumping. This is one battle hardened stock and it will prevail. It has been beatup unmercifully by every manipulative type trader there is and has taken a lickin and keeps on tickin. I've seen it all with this stock. GO SFIO. "SFIO IS A NO BRAINER". Just my opinion though, I could be wrong. NOT! Can't reply for I have but only one post per day. My bad.
That's not true. I'm with E trade and can buy and sell OVER THE PHONE but NOT ONLINE. Did the other day. Just inconvenient. Being as I'm a bad guy this is my only post.
Hats off to whoever created this "COOL" video. Really great vid.
I am truly a llllllooooooooonnnnnnnnnngggggggggggg. Have only bought and nnnnnnneeeeeeeeeeevvvvveeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrr sold one share. So quite frankly I hope they keep SFIO LOCKED down and throw away the key and all the while behind the scenes, SFIO becomes more organized and stronger and some day, maybe a few months a year or so from now it will emerge and be strong enough to overcome the past stock manipulation. Yea! and maybe no more flippin and Naked shorting on this abusive scale. >>>Go SFIO>>>>>
This vid is too cool. It speaks volumes in a basic to the point way. The musical background inspires an excitement and intrigue(what is this product?). Of course just my opinion, beauty is in the eye(and use) of the beholder. Nice job. Stay REAL
Hey, yo, Mr. Soldier man. HOW CAN THE PPS CRASH IF IT IS LOCKED UP? HMMM? Quite frankly locking it up might just be a good thing. Would possibly put a stop to the shorters and other manipulating abusers. Might be good for the longs and not so good for you other people. Because I've been relegated to the status of basher abuser, this is my one per day post and no pm so I'm done for the day. Happy Indepence Day.
In defense of Etrade with whom I've had an account for the last 8 years, I will say to all the IHUB posters who can't seem to find a higher level order of cerebralness than to just say "Etrade Sucks", I beg to vehemently differ with ya'll and say Etrade does not suck and is at least amoung the top online brokers. but like you, that's just my opinion, GLTA
Hey Topdog Because I possess the mental capacity of high order thinking and not like some with only a smidgen of superficial thought process, I just wanted to reinforce what you posted about REAL being "the best product in the world bar none" but wanted to add for those that didn't grasp the real intention of your phrase that you were referring to it in the ecig product catagory.
Mt horeb bank 2nd best to reposting given that I'm not the brightess bulb in the box. Had to wait till after midnight since I'm limited to 2/day and don't have PM.
Hey Pauly I understand
Ballbag, you might want to go a little easy on Pauly, he's had a love/hate relationship with SFIO since his FIRST posting here on 02/19/2010 at 4:18:53 pm. By the way, Pauly, the #1, the FIRST SFIO post was on 03/06/09, at 1:36:13 pm, so I'm having a little bit of a hard time understanding your post #39911 where as you say "I practically gave birth to this board" when you didn't post to this board until almost 12 months after SFIO board began. What's with the return to the darkside. Thought you were accumulating again after your major SFIO dumpage several months back.
stpetesal I've been around a whole lot longer than you on this sight and know and understand your motives which are rather weak given that you are the only one with this problem. A bunch of months ago I actually bought into some of your opinions but the positives of this company are far out weighing your negatives. So it's really time to get on board with this up and coming company and reach for the big bucks instead of chump change. But just like you it's just my opinion. GL
OH OH OH ME ME CAN I GO TOO, I'M NOT REAL SMART BUT I'LL DAMN SURE HAVE A CARNIVAL CUISE SHIP FULL OF MONEY TO BUY A WHOLE BUNCHA ROUNDS(HICCUP), CAN I CAN I HUH? HUH? PLEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEE!
lol yeah, point well taken.
Ballbag, We can hope US follows Europe's lead in granting the patent. Washington DC bureaucracy these days is a real mixed bag of nuts. fingers crossed.
