It doesn't add up to me. I assume LinkedIn got the wrong F3 in their PR. Wrong logo, wrong company......

Somebody doesn't know what the he## they're doing.
Anyway, it's likely they're both well over 40, with 40 years experience between them. I wonder how deep their connections are to today's urban music scene. Perhaps they can organize a Spinners reunion on Fargo Tube.
A green day? Well we got what you asked for...another boulevard of broken dreams. Do you have the time, to listen to me whine......I'll tell you about this American Idiot who bought FTCH at .009 and lost 30% in minutes on a market makers whim. Now I'm a basket case.
A lot of people have money tied up in this dog. The irony is many had such a high cost basis that they couldn't "afford" to sell during the recent run-up, in hopes that the shares would hit breakeven at least. Then Lucy pulled the football away, again. The disgusting part is looking at all the stocks that were trading for well under a buck in March/April '09 that are now north of $10. While this has done the exact opposite.
Considering selling the next pop to .01, taking that cash and buying a deep out of the money 2013 call on somthing I think is going north in the coming year. I like Citi in 2012 after they start share buybacks. There are a few others. If I lose it all, so be it.
i think everyone here is waiting to see where it settles before getting back in.
Same garbage as usual. It went up too fast, and the volume had everyone fooled. I'll reserve judgement if this move up & back down was good or bad. If it gets more action and movement in the stock, and gets more people to take notice of the company, it was good. However, if it settles where it was when the run started and volume dries back up, it was a totally manufactured BS run. In that case, the future of F3 as anything but a P&D play will be over in my mind.
If anyone can answer these questions, I'd appreciate it. How long has the company's main website been down? And when you go to the fuelmeister.com site, there is no mention of Renewal Fuels or Renewal Biodiesel, just Green Fuels America Inc. (who does have a website, and makes no mention of Renewal Fuels either). I'd like a little more transparency from the company before buying here.
Not necessarily so. Half the time my buys show up as sells, especially if it's not at the ask.
After almost 20 months of holding this (most of it painful), it's good to see some life in this one. Who knows, some of us still might become F-3 millionaires. Unfortunately, we'll all have premature gray hair from the past 2 years.......
If the F-3 products continue to grow, I could seriously see $1, and that's coming from an anti-pumper here. I'm doing DD to see if this run is the result of some newsletter pick, and if so, which one? Some are reputable, and some are just pump & dump hacks. We'll see. If this pulls in a little, I may pick up a few hundred K shares. Let me check that DD first.
My gut tells me that the prolonged descent is over. We'll see.
I'm still cautious.
"That should keep interest level high, Thks."
Looking at the volume on the stock as well as on this message board, the implied sarcasm barometer gauge is still spinning.
I stand by everything I said on Nov 2, except the 1 cent part. That needs to be revised down by 36%.
This stock is beyond unbelievable.
I think we all feel that at times. Up 20% with 250K volume and things look rosy. The next day down 25% on 40K and the sky is falling. This stock trades like a metronome (though I liken it to a circus monkey...jumping around day to day with no clear direction...but down in the long term).
That was my more recent purchase when I broke trading rule #1....never try to catch a falling knife. I have a lot more in-the-red shares from 2009 between .05-.08. But apparently not as many as you.
I too feel your pain. Hanging on ONLY because of fear that if you dumped it all, it would start to move up. Having it go up after bailing would be more frustrating than the current status quo slow bleed.
That said, a year ago I was debating on whether to bail for the tax loss....when it was .025. Even scam shell companies get occasional bounces...but this, a company with a decent product, has been a falling knife for 18 straight months. So from December 2009 to September 2010, I went from someone with a modest loss to someone with a much bigger loss to (after an impulse purchase of 100000 shares at .015) an idiot with an even bigger loss. Transic = big schmuck.
As long as it isn't an exclusive deal with this guy......
Tell me, would this be a dream or a nightmare. It seems to be a pattern with this company.............
ALPHARETTA GA- F-3 Technologies, a growing SAS software and social media company, announced two huge multi-million dollar contracts. The first is a $10.8 million dollar contract with the US Homeland Security Dept to provide F-3's IDS technology on over 100 military base communities in the US. The second contract is for their FargoTube website, which reached a multi-million dollar agreement with 2 major record companies to distribute their artists videos.
Shares of F-3 (FTCH:PK) fell .002, or 20%, on volume of 6,000 shares on the news.
(DISCLAIMER: the above press release is a parody.)
Good idea, but I used to live 5 miles from Newark center. The key to IDS is the citizens have to be involved to a degree. Perhaps in the nicer, gentrified Ironbound neighborhood it would work. But the rest of the citizens aren't working with the police.....no way, no how, for any number of reasons...economics, education, self-preservation etc. Ditto for Camden NJ, which also lost half their police force. Camden is 2X worse than Newark, if you can believe that (do a Google Street view...it's similar to center Detroit & E St Louis....it's like a 3rd world country).
F3 should market Fargotube to athletes for them to host their own video fan blogs. It may not be the most lucrative gig $-wise, but it would definitely get the site some traffic, as well as media attention. We all know athletes have huge egos, and even mediocre players in small markets have their own fan base. All it would take is for one player to make a controvertial or provocative video post ("Lebron James is overrated")that gets picked up by ESPN etc, and Fargotube is on the map. They need to look beyond just music.
Another banner day for FTCH. Perhaps the company should get back in the uranuim mining business. If only red ink was a valuable commodity, we'd all be millionaires.
I agree, except that we're not moving toward a police/nanny state, we are now in one. Witness the news reports about TSA groping & body scans. This isn't even a partisan opinion, those on both sides see what is going on. Heck, I got a ticket last month for not wearing a seatbelt from a cop using binoculars to look in cars, and they now employ "safety checkpoints" to pull over drivers in hopes of nabbing a few DUS/DUI's. Yesterday, 77 year old Willie Nelson got busted for having a few joints on his bus. Of course the sheeple who sit at home every night watching Wheel of Fortune go along with the police line that "if you're not doing anything wrong, you've got nothing to worry about".
This republic is crumbling before our eyes, and I'm not just being dramatic. Respect for law is at an all time low among the younger population (under 45) and there is a legitimate reason for it. Technology is allowing police to monitor, track and harass the populace at alarming rates. Law enforcement officers used to be the good guys who's job it was to go after the crooks and violent criminals, but not any more. They are now merely government tools....going after all of us.
I do hope F3's software is enabling the citizens, not the police in pursuing petty nonsense. Or else I will be selling this stock on principle.
Anyone who would want to put some $$ here takes one look at the 18 month declining chart and the wide B/A sucker spread and gets spooked. I mean, you can literally purchase 100,000 shares for $1,000 bucks, then have $250 of it vanish instantly on someone else's $20 bid whack.
The Severe deal is certainly a coup. But long term, I think FargoTube will need to branch out beyond country music or standard white boy "bluzak" in order to be successful. As much as I hate the song California Gurls by Katy Perry, that's the kind of stuff that gets the viewers. A friend with a 25000+ feeback rating as an Ebay seller once told me "I don't touch anything rural (i.e. country music, NASCAR)...the end users are loyal, but they don't like to spend any money". While that may or may not be 100% accurate, it is something I never forgot.
I 100% agree...it comes down to marketing. We don't want a SPNG like movement and collapse (besides we've already had that without the Ihub fanfare and federal indictments), but this has not been marketed well. I don't know how much $$ the IR firm is costing the company (or us with stock disbursements), but would that money be better spent on targeted advertisements in artist focused media? At this point advertising FargoTube to the general public would be a waste until there is more content.
At this point whoever holds here would be a fool to sell, especially those who've held over a year. But buying here is a different story. After today's market move (fyi, if you haven't dabbled in options, I'd seriously consider learning about them), I've got a lot of powder to play with, but I can't justify averaging down anymore. I've written the $$ off, but not the prospects for the company. Any upside will be an unexpected windfall. I think there are several here in that position.
Please tell me how F3 can release news about a major contract on a day when the market is up over 200 points, and it still drops 17% with piddling trade $$ volume of $54. It leads one to wonder, of all the people with some interest in this (Severe Records employees and artists, friends of those employees/artists, friends/acquaintances of F3 management etc), wouldn't at least one person be buying? We know why the trading & investing community, on Ihub and elsewhere isn't touching this...trying to catch a falling knife is a time tested money loser. But c'mon, there isn't one person in the world willing to put a few hundred bucks into this on the news.
Not very encouraging. What may be one of the most exciting days for F3 the company may be the worst day ever for FTCH the stock. For it was today I realized this investment is likely going nowhere.
Personally, I'm doing my part by namedropping FargoTube in the comments box on YouTube videos I've uploaded, and others. Specifically those related to YouTube copyright infringement and YT removing videos. YT has disabled at least 3-4 of my accounts for so-called infringement that were actually fair use. Many content producers are fed up with YT....so there is a market.
Problem is, no one knows about FT. F3's IR/promo firm is worthless, as their PR's indicate. They've had plenty of time to get this ball rolling. 50K share volume on a 1 cent stock is beyond pathetic. Shareholders need to demand how much this firm is being paid for their incompetence.
Overall, the Coles Whalen site design is nice. One thing though.
When you mouse over the links at the top, they need to highlight (as in a box) as you scroll along, as opposed to the low-tech underline highlight. That is standard in website design in 2010. The links as they are now look straight out of the '90's, amateurish and inconsistent with the design of the rest of the site...and the font doesn't help. Some may think this is a small thing...but to many, it is not. It's certainly the first thing I noticed. It's certainly an easy fix, and would enhance the appearance of the site ALOT.

The musty old floor mop in my basement could go public tomorrow and get more trading action than this stock. Didn't management hire someone to promote the company? Can they get their money back?
This is just disgusting.
The problem I have is that I got some market unsophisticated folks to buy this stock and they just won't understand subpennies. Not only am I afraid for my psychological well being, but my physical well being as well when these folks light their torches and get the pitchforks out for me.
You mentioned this stock to those "market unsophisticated folks". However, they were under no obligation to buy anything. Even the most ignorant rube should do their own DD, and in 2010, that isn't too hard to do.
Torches and pichforks?? Is this 2010 or 1850? If you generally have that fear, and it is legitimate, you may want to thinking about leaving your area. Life is too short to worry about the porfolios of others, much less yourself.
I'm in a similar position with QASP. I talked my boss into putting $500 @ around .02. It is now around .0018. I feel bad, but I gave him due warning of the risks, and I don't lose any sleep over it.
As for F3, I think .009-.01 is the bottom here, and I've been watching this sink since May '09.
Looks like your psychological well-being will be a lot better this weekend LOL. Did a 1000 share trade just move this 45%? WTF???
I have 30 stocks on my streamer.....only 2 red ones today. Bank of America and F3.
That's a big surprise.
I can relate. Everytime I think this thing is ready to change direction, we keep hitting new lows. No one wants to take a new position here because the B/A spread is for suckers. If you purchase at the ask of .113, it needs to rise 15% just to break even. As for purchasing for the long term, just look at the long term chart. The only thing that will change things is profitability.
The biggest losers are those who've parked their $$ here for over a year.
F-3 needs to communicate with the investment community regarding their plans regarding the number of outstanding shares. When I first invested here between 7-8 cents, the OS count was approx 32 million (it was one of the main reasons I bought in). Today it stands at 86 million, and the PPS is in the shi##er. What will it be tomorrow...120 million? Reminds me of the old Doritos commercial....eat as many as you want....we'll make more. Investors will not touch the stock of a company not making money when the number of shares is subject to an increase at management's whim whenever cash runs low. In terms of perceived value, they become practically worthless. That, IMO, is the reason this stock trades where it does.
I guess thanks to you kingpindg
It must have just been added a few days after it's exclusion was commented on here. Perhaps they are heeding tips on this board (or else a shareholder took it upon themselves to do it). Thanks to whoever added it.
Agreed....since the day I bought back in May '09, this has been a down sloping piece of garbage. Between this and QASP, I'm ready to pull the plug on penny stock gambling.
I'm going to play around on FB and Google to see if any ads about FargoTube show up. The success (or lack thereof) may tell us all about where this is going.
Perhaps they could start by getting listed here...

If the AS is increased, this may skip triple zeros and go straight to quadruple zeros. Then it would a need a 100,000:1 RS to be NYSE compliant. This is like a bad dream...somebody wake me up.
Is that response a direct cut & paste? The spelling isn't very good.
The ship is sinking, so where is Captain Bradley? Why no CC to calm the investors that are left? Either Bradley is unaware that SS Quasar is taking in water, or else he is jumping over women & children to get into a lifeboat.
Many of us here felt .01 was the floor. Just what is the bloody floor? The only winners here are the flippers, and lately even they're losing (unless they're shorting). Holding on for the next PR hasn't worked in 2 months LOL
At this point I'll hold on to 500K & forget about it.
I'm not hurting for cash or pity, just pissed at believing Dean's baloney CC's. I have other fears about the company besides the loans not going thru and the aqi's not getting done. I'm sure others do as well.
It comes down to risk, reward and capital preservation. Closing at or below half a penny tells me enough. In the end, it was Dean's tall tales that led me to doubt his competence. A $350M loan in this economic environment? Talking about uplisting to a major exchange when you're trading near sub-penny (and now down 60+% from there)? Perhaps if he didn't aim so damn high investors wouldn't be bailing en masse.
