This caught my attention for 2015
any thoughts out there
GNC (GNC_) trades at only 13.6 times earnings vs. 28 for its sector and 18 for the S&P 500. In the first half of this year, it opened 179 new stores in the U.S. and overseas including 17 store-within-a store locations at Rite Aid (RAD_) . In addition, it acquired nine stores in Ireland in April. Earnings and sales are expected to be flat this year compared with 2013. But 2015 earnings are expected to rise 12% with 5% sales growth, according to analysts polled by Thomson Reuters Knowledge. It also pays a 1.7% dividend.
The nutritional supplements retailer announced in mid-August that it plans to buy back $500 million of its shares over the next two years. GNC Chairman Michael Hines, bought 30,000 shares on Aug. 18, increasing his stake to 37,118 shares. Just two weeks before that CEO Michael Archbold bought 175,000 shares. Insiders sell for many reasons but buy when they believe shares are undervalued and that the company's outlook is improving.
I have been part of CPSZ / GPSI at the start if i sell today it will be a huge tax write off
Only action you see here is the manipulators tapping the surface trying to get the average Joes attention. They are just fishing to see if anyone will get excited and start Pumping GPSI for any unexpected gamblers.
I will not get excited on this stock until they show Audited Financial Nuff said…
Yawn, afternoon board, I see that we are still below a quarter even after the horrible reverse split
Everything I say is my opinion and everything I talk about I do have experience with since, I saw the first installation happen. I was a true believer back in 2009 now that it is ½ way to 2015 nothing has changed.
When they say, “Information coming when the time is right” to me means Never this is a Pink stock
Pumpers use the phrase, “Sound to me something is in the works” they always say this
CPSZ/ GPSI will never complete an Audited financial, Why you ask because it’s a Pink stock
This company has been so non transparent nothing would surprise me
Even if this Company sent everyone packing and went private, would not surprise me
Eleniak simple answer we are a pink stock, And Mr Hodge likes being a Pink stock he does not have to report to anyone
Surfkast I am down 95% I know the feeling
Been away from this stock for sometime wish I would have stayed out when it was still .09 Pre re-split
Any thought on 100+ by February Dividend February 2nd .55
Would love to see RTN at Boeing levels, but if it hits that high I was have to assume a split would be in order
Are we aloud to be given the number of current shareholders for this company? If so how many shareholders do we have currently?
This thing does have the opportunity to pop up to .05 to .15 before the meeting. It hit .19 last year when nothing was announced. Funnier things have happened especially with CPSZ. I am thinking this will see lots of green action in the coming days. GLTA
dang that sucks Lawdog going from 2.5 mill to having 25,000 its a huge hit.
I to lost a lot and feel like I got kicked in the shorts.
Dr is on vacation and I bet when he reads what happen will not be happy at all either.
I see that CPSZ has started to pick up some steam, what’s cooking back there
It would figure……. I am holding a pair of dang 6’s……. I hate this game. CPSZ needs to show me what they are holding
In since Nov 2009
With Freddie doing so well in 2013 and being government controlled, my question is why not privatize again and let them make the final payments to our government?
I am keeping an eye on this one.

Copy and paste the email you sent and his reply to the forum, I am curious now
Back in 2009 I remember talking with one of the installers and he was swearing CPSZ would hit .35 to 1.00 once they showed financial record. I wonder if this is our trip back to higher ground, will we see that audit we were told about 3 years ago?
Just to think 2 years ago I was complaining about no movement at .03
It’s been forever since I even looked at this stock or any stock
Surfkast you still around ?
Well I have been gone for a few months and this stock has become even worse in value. I will not add another penny to this stock until this shows some real improvement.
So far the only benefit, I will get from CPSZ will be a tax loss write off for 2012 taxes, to counter balance president Obama tax hike on middle class.
Thanks CPSZ
Halecaesar, I would like to share with you one little thing that may save you time.
If you go to the website http://www.ezcardandkiosk.com/ you can load the money from home. This will prevent you from standing in a long line, it will give you more time doing whatever it is you want to do.
Thought I’d share a little knowledge
Mr. Greg Hodge, what year are you going to release pertinent information for CPSZ to excel?
Release Audited Financial report……
One complaint I have on the CPSZ web site, the section I refer to is the Contact us:
Don’t make it so complicated sending an email to you.
You should be allowing more than 500 letters to be sent to you.
Here is an honest question, how many shares do you think the company will allow the average Joe to hold before they decide to take control of their own stock. 1 Billion shares available, am I the only one who sees a reverse split at the end of this tunnel?
Only after that I see the share price back in the .03 range.
But really am I the only one who sees this red flag?
Now I am not saying they will do a reverse split but come on…
My interpretation of every Pr from CPSZ as of late;
“Haha suckers got you, keep buying this stock so we can buy a bigger house in Hawaii”
I give up on CPSZ it’s over manipulated, 1 billion shares -when’s the reverse split going to happen- maybe that’s the news that will be released.
I am thinking of starting an Environmental business for BAC, it will focus on turning the lights out at BAC branches. Maybe we can get a small part of that $50 billion they are offering.
It’s funny to compare some stocks to CPSZ for example Fannie Mae they are at least a Trillion in the hole their stock should be worth .0001 but it’s still sitting at .26
CPSZ who is making money (we think) is only.0064 with the manipulated 22k buy on Monday. Does this make any since what so ever? CPSZ should be floating at .26 not .0064
Show me the Audited financial report CPSZ
There is pure manipulation going on with CPSZ we all see it we just don’t know why. So let’s see an Audited financial report and move on….
I for one, 100% agree with everything you just said!! I have thought that for the past 2 years.
The .PK is an example of a suffix representing where the security is traded - an over-the-counter (OTC) network or an international exchange. The major U.S. exchanges such as the NYSE, Nasdaq and AMEX do not have suffixes. The .PK behind a stock simply means the stock in question is traded on the pink sheets (or the Pink Sheets Electronic Quotation service).
OTC Markets
The pink sheets service is a loosely regulated over-the-counter, decentralized market. There are few requirements to being listed on this network, as companies do not have to file with the SEC nor keep updated financial information. The only major requirement to being listed is to have at least one market maker, who must be registered with the SEC and a member of the NASD. The market maker is responsible for quoting the latest trading price of the stock on the pink sheets network. This is a highly speculative and risky place to invest.
****Investores would be wise to only invest what they are willing to lose.****
The other suffix for an over-the-counter market is .OB. It means securities are traded on the OTCBB. This network is also one of high risk but is less risky than the pink sheets, as it is a regulated and has stricter listing requirements.
If Cpsz ever changed its listing it would be moved to the proper section on I-hub
I thought id work my CPSZ math for a second… 4 Kiosk at roughly 20k each X 4 = 80K have they bleed us 80k yet or are we going down more to pay for those 4 Kiosk?
Or on a brighter side, Audited financials, upgrade to let’s say Nasdaq -instant $5.00 a share then I don’t mind the company selling shares to pay for these Kiosk. The owners become legit millionaires and every new Kiosk is easy money. But that’s only saying that the Audited financials informs us investors that they are making money. Hey if the Audited financials are showing a loss then that’s fine at least we know where they stand.
Or everyone with those millions of shares get hit with a reverse split taking us up to .05 and then company dumps shares on us more, and back to .0035 we go…. The owners can remain in Hawaii fishing and not giving a care in the work about us.
Since they never replied to my email on how disappointed in them I am, ill speak here….
Wish we would get out of the pinks and be reporting like a legit business..
So what’s it going to be Greg Hodge……..
Kiosk, Get your Kiosk here… Kiosk, Get your Kiosk here… Open your bank account and allow CPSZ to withdraw from your Kiosk #43 (investor) set in place….
If everyone has a few million shares I can just see it in the next P/R… Reverse split to entice newer investors on a higher level. Since you all have a few million let’s make it 75,000 shares for 1 new share.
Kiosk, Get your Kiosk here… Kiosk, Get your Kiosk here…
Ohh and I guess I ended up pushing on my 2-1 odds with the stock price going down today… Figures
Ohh FU2 if you’re cheerleading this right now then I would suggest you follow your own words open your bank account to CPSZ but a million or 5 at .004 Buy Buy Buy!!
Good luck to you
It means the world once the Audit is complete and public even having 1Kiosk up and running. It will show the company making or losing money. Then after 42 Kiosk are up and running it will show to your investors that not only do you care about them but it shows how professional you are. It will guild and direct investors like Bell and bring in the whales or keep the whales out of this little guy.
So I would love to see 0.00 earned for the month of April vrs the unknown. That tells me I should either dump more cash into this or remove myself from this. Does that answer the question of having audited financials or not?
Something I would love to see out of a serious investor that lives near the new head quarters located at
15375 Barranca Pkwy., Suite C102, Irvine, CA 92618
Stop by take some photos of the building maybe ask to get a photo of the CEO in his office. Google maps just shows a large building which only shows a large building probably holding 50 small business. I only suggest this because with one other stock I was in an investor did just that.
I do not dought the fact they moved to California but it would be nice to prove they did not rent out a utility closet and still work from home. Good luck to us CPSZ investors
If there was info of a game changer the share price would already be above a penny before the market opens. So even if you say another Kiosk is open that just means the company spent more of the investors money without informing us of any audited balance sheet.
So I see us as investors as the CPSZ’s #43 kiosk
Too bad we are not allowed to make bets with our stock, I would bet 500k the stock price goes lower tomorrow 2-1 odds. That’s about the only way I’ll be making money on this CPSZ, since we are so called gambling.
The river run was really fun but because of the economy there were a lot less people then last year.
I don’t have a mortgage in this stock either, but if it went the other way it would have made a very nice payment towards a mortgage. Would have added a pool and a new bike right away, now I have to stay working and pay for those items the slow way........ earn it.
If CPSZ drops to .001 like I see it doing in less than a week’s time and they announce a R/S. Then I full heartedly call this a scam. As of right now I see us as shareholders as the next Kiosk. I think that would make us shareholders #42 set in place.
As of now my account is so red and turned inside out I don’t see how it can recover. On the bright side I will have a huge tax write off if this fails. I wish I was on the sidelines like Bell right now.
Continental management performance
The company has Profit Margin (PM) of 95.34 % which can be a sign that it executes well on its competitive strategies and has a good control over its expenditures. This is very large. Similarly, it shows Operating Margin (OM) of (27.73) % which suggests for every dolor of sales it generated a net operating loss of -0.28.

Bell what’s your opinion on this info?
Surf I was wondering about your avatar, is that Atilla the Hun?
I was hoping for more of a different approach, like spam email them or have the group anonymous shoot the stock up to $1.00 lol I thought you were connected haha
Surf you said you will give CPSZ until the 20th, what will you do after that date when CPSZ ignores you?
Just wondering what your plans will be I might join.
CP's model will appeal to many governments that are short on cash. CP installs the kiosk and adminsters the transfers at no cost to the prison. The equipment is not cheap. By one estimate, each system costs $25,000. A typical retail ATM, by contrast, costs about $10,000.
Maybe CPSZ should change the way they install these machines, they should charge a fee that will over time buy back the machine rather than slam a $25,000 machine into any nook and cranny. Each contract appears to be an average of 5 years, so how about after then 10th year (2nd renewal) they will be paid off. If what they have is the turn of the sentry money saver product, why not charge now pays off later idea. Call it the 2nd wave or new policy update changes from January 2013 forward.
The stock should not be an ATM which runs the average cost of 10,000. If they are in fact using this stock as an ATM I will be very upset along with other heavy investors.
I will be sending an email directly to CPSZ to express my thoughts of this stock, if you agree you too should email them and express your thoughts and see what kind of reply you get back.
As an investor I too would like to see an audited financial report from CPSZ that alone would make me and several others not sell our current shares but to hold them tighter than ever before.
So what do you CPSZ officer’s think of that idea?
