Dec. 29 2030...so he is getting out about 6 months early.....too bad. I think he deserves to do all his time, and then some.
Looks like he is busy trying to raise money....but not to help PGPM bag holders

Every day is a good day to invest in the stock market. It depends on several things of course. One's risk tolerance, long/short term goals, investment philosophy, and probably the hardest...greed control/patience.
As an example, I have been investing for about 50 yrs now. Always reading and watching what others post. My personal reasoning is at some point...even the most asinine and obnoxious poster on these boards may at some time say or mention something that gives me a bit more insight to help me in my investing decisions.
I personally prefer dividend stocks with a little risk for the higher dividend. I invest in a dozen or so stocks that pay monthly and quarterly dividends. This allows me enough time to graph my stocks in excel and compare values before my next investment. I try to maintain an average dividend yield of 8% - 10% per year.
With the instant ability to find most information to use as fundamental DD for free on the net, you can make a reasonably prudent decision to invest (in a particular stock) or not. I do a lot of "paper" trading...sometimes I invest...other times I pass on a stock after tracking it and compiling DD for a few months. It's all free info on the web if you spend the time to search. Even on ihub, as Bar said...penny stocks are pretty much a lotto play. very very few are worth the time/effort. I've dabbled in a few over the years and am lucky to have actually come out with a small profit overall...but to me was not worth the time and money.
As I mentioned...patience/greed is probably the most difficult part of investing...too many people look for that multi bag bet and lose their ASSets due to undisciplined or uncontrolled greed. Pick an area (industry) you are interested in, or comfortable with...do some research...maybe do some paper trading to get comfortable...maybe you don't invest today...tomorrow...or next month...but give yourself the benefit of making an educated decision. You won't win every time...no one does...but if you do the research and understand your investments...in the long term, you will win.
WSJ NEWS EXCLUSIVE MARKETS - FNMA
Fannie, Freddie Poised to Keep Profits in an Initial Privatization Move
Forthcoming agreement would pause yearslong arrangement in which profits went to Treasury Department
INDIANAPOLIS—Mortgage-finance companies Fannie Mae FNMA 1.03% andFreddie Mac FMCC 0.82% are expected to start keeping their earnings as early as this week, pausing a yearslong arrangement in which they handed nearly all of their profits to the Treasury Department.
The move, in an expected agreement between the Trump administration and their federal regulator, would be an initial major step in allowing the companies to build up capital so they can operate as private companies again.
Under the forthcoming agreement, the companies would be allowed to retain about a year’s worth of profits, or about $20 billion, Mark Calabria, the Federal Housing Finance Agency chief, said in an interview after touring a senior center financed in part by the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis. FHFA oversees Fannie, Freddie and the Federal Home Loan Bank system.
“We’re still in the middle of negotiations with Treasury, but I think we’re close,” Mr. Calabria said. “I hope to have it done by the end of the month.”
Fannie and Freddie are central players in the housing market, buying about half of all U.S. mortgages from lenders and packaging them for issuance as securities. The government effectively nationalized them during the 2008 crisis in a bid to stabilize the housing market as mortgage defaults mounted. How the government addresses the companies’ future could resolve the last major problem from the financial crisis.
At present, the companies hold just $3 billion each in capital, and the agreement under consideration would substantially increase that figure. The move would be significant because it would start a process of the companies raising a combined $100 billion-plus that they will likely need to hold before they can return to private hands.
Financial Crisis Yields a Generation of Renters (July 27)
“If you’re leveraged 1,000-to-1, you could have Superman as your regulator and Wonder Woman as your CEO, and you’re still going to fail at some point,” Mr. Calabria said.
The timing of the agreement and the precise amount of earnings the companies would be allowed to retain hasn’t been completed. The overall deal could slip to the end of the year, he said.
Every quarter Fannie and Freddie send nearly all of their profits, minus the $3 billion they are currently permitted to retain as capital, to the Treasury Department as payment for their ongoing support from the department. Under the terms of the 2008 conservatorship, the firms have access to more than $250 billion in support, though they have been generally profitable in recent years and have drawn on that support only once since 2012. Should the companies report a loss going forward, they could continue to draw on their support from the government. They just wouldn’t send their profits to Treasury until they had retained more than about $20 billion in profits.
The upcoming change comes after a federal appellate court in New Orleans criticized the profit sweep in a Sept. 6 ruling. The decision, in litigation brought by investors in the companies, gave new life to court challenges over the handling of Fannie and Freddie’s profits. The administration is deciding whether to appeal.
The Trump administration wants to recapitalize the companies through a mix of retained earnings and raising tens of billions of dollars from investors, a process likely to take years. It is a priority for the administration, which outlined a path to return the firms to private ownership earlier this month.
“They’ve been in conservatorship for too long, and we want to make sure they’re not in conservatorship on a permanent basis,” Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said in a Sept. 9 interview on Fox Business Network.
Any move now to pause the profit sweep would give Treasury and the FHFA time to negotiate bigger changes to the terms of the companies’ existing support agreement with Treasury, Mr. Calabria said. That includes the creation of a fee the companies’ would be required to pay in exchange for ongoing support from Treasury, which is necessary for their business model. The broader changes could also encompass new restrictions on the companies’ activities, as envisioned by the recent Treasury report, which urged FHFA to scrutinize the firms’ purchases of cash-out refinancings and loans for investment and vacation properties.
Meanwhile, Mr. Calabria said, taxpayers would receive additional shares in the companies—the equivalent of new stakes in a firm preparing to launch an initial public offering—in exchange for allowing the companies to retain earnings now.
Through June, the companies have paid about $300 billion in dividends to the Treasury, while taking some $190 billion.
Congrats, and good for you...I donated to your win...lol. invest it wisely.
I agree 100% that that is the "hope". Unfortunately, the history of all involved, both past and current "executives"...and I use that in the broadest of terms...suggests that at the very minimum, they are extremely suspect, and NOT working in the best interests for either the shareholders, or the company in general.
Very rarely does a company EVER return from the greys. There have been some, and of those I would say MAYBE a couple may have survived.
And again, why would ANY honest, viable, and trustworthy company even consider becoming involved with such a train wreck as Pilgrim?Several people have asked for ANY information on the supposed holdings Pilgrim claims to have in Oklahoma. A quick search of the Oklahoma well and gas DB has zero listings for Pilgrim...where are the wells/leaseholds?
I've been a shareholder in this for 12 years...it took 10 years and a new P&D scam for me to finally get my money back...unfortunately at the expense of new bagholders.
I would say a person has a better chance of a nice lottery win than this coming back as a viable and honest company. Even if they were to get off the greys at some point...which could take years...what MM would sign off on a 15c-211.
You bring up a good point.
If Pilgrim is still under investigation...and on the grey sheets...would the SEC allow them to proceed with a share swap?
Question for you. And please don't take this as anything negative.
Just trying to gain some perspective as why people may think PGPM will ever become a viable and profitable company.
Why would any viable and honest company even consider any kind of association with a company that has historically done absolutely nothing other than lie and scam the shareholders?
and just an fyi...I have been a shareholder of PGPM since 2007. I was able to sell off most of my shares in the P&D from a couple years ago, so I don't really have any personal money tied up in it now....though I do have a few hundred k freebies.
For reference on how PGPM has approached the "share exchange" scenario in the past...do a bit of research on a company called Arcland Energy. And yes...that was a different CEO back then...and to add...ALL of the CEO's starting with Rafael Pinedo have done absolutely nothing to create a viable business for PGPM. One empty "plan" after another...for years.
Doing a bit of research on each past and current CEO will show every company any have been associated with, are either defunct, or dark with ZERO assets, or activity.
PGPM (Pinedo) was sued by the Texas RR commission due to massive violations on their leaseholds in Texas...Pinedo was sued personally, and lost his house....His personal investment company (Crescent Hill Capital located in Dallas Tx.) that was going to loan or supply the funds for PGPM happens to be a company that has absolutely ZERO clients other than PGPM.
Looking at every CEO PGPM has had in the past 12 years, not a single one of them has proven to be trustworthy, or has been associated with ANY company that has been successful....ever.
I could go on for dozens of pages, but I'm sure there is no need.
The history of PGPM and it's past/current leadership speaks for itself.
They very well may be starting over with the audit. Looks as though their accounting firm ( Anton & Chia ) has some major issues with their credibility.

not a lot to say when your a dead scam stock.
Anything is possible, but honestly, I doubt PGPM will ever come back This company has always been a scam, no matter who the CEO has been. With all the negatives against it, and the law of averages quickly catching up to these scammers...I seriously doubt they will ever recover. Now...that's not to say they don't eventually attempt to re-image as a new company with a new ticker...don't know the legalities of that while on the greys and still under SEC scrutiny...but who knows. I do know that Pinhead..(rafael pinedo) the original head of this scam is and has been in dire financial straights for quite some time. So I don't see him coming back any time soon. He does have another scam out there he has bled newbies dry with called airtrona...there is a board for it and I have seen quite a lot of unhappy posts on it. That company is Based out of Canada, so i assume he is running low on scam opportunities.

they are going to either go dormant again to try and hatch a new scam, or they are going to just go away and possibly try a new scam with a different shell.
is that his CIA ballcap under the hoodie...lol
There is no bid/ask quote for PGPM...it's on the grey sheets and has no market maker. All trades are matched trades. Any bid/ask quotes are arbitrary to that broker...meaning they most likely just populated that area to have something in it.
With oil now over $72 bbl and moving higher...one would think these guys would be touting and spouting all the grand things they are doing to enhance shareholder value. Me thinks it will end up like it did when oil was over $100 bbl. they went dark and stuck shareholders with bags and bags of air.
Could you please provide the rest of us with proof to back up your statement? Unfortunately I have been one of the looooong time bag holders in this dating back over 10 years...this company has yet to provide ANY valid/verifiable information regardless of who the CEO might be this week...or month...or year. PLEASE provide us with any tangible data that can be verified showing assets such as leases,well permits, production numbers, api #, drilling reports...etc.

I agree with you 100%...people like these guys need to be stopped. BUT...rarely does the SEC go after penny stock scammers because they get nothing in return for their efforts. These guys know very well that the SEC has limited resources and can pretty much run their scams with little to no repercussions.
Think about it...you have "investors"...you and dozens of others that lost money in the scam...some lost hundreds of dollars...many others lost thousands of dollars. The scammers know that very few..if any...of the investors will throw more money after bad trying to recover "something" in court...in a case that could potentially take several years. Unfortunately in 99.9% of these kinds of scams, the money is gone...the company has no assets of value, or very little value.
Typically the SEC just shuts them down as they did this one,and hundreds of others doing the same thing. The investor is left holding the bag with very little recourse.
on occasion the SEC gets a wild hair up their back side and makes an example of one of these scams...Conversion solutions (CSHD)is a good example...the CEO gets out of prison in 2031.
Unfortunately the SEC doesn't step in nearly as often as it should...and one can see by the myriad of scams still openly running.
never happen...they have no assets of any value to recover in a suit, and no attorney is going to do it for free.
MTGE is being bought by Annaly (NLY)
Under the terms of the agreement, MTGE stockholders can elect to receive either: (i) $19.65 in cash, (ii) 1.9037 shares of Annaly Common Stock, or (iii) $9.82 in cash and 0.9519 shares of Annaly Common Stock for each MTGE share that they own.
The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close in the third quarter of 2018.
and that address is an office/hangar at Addison airport...been by there quite a few times and posted pics years ago of the broken windows and such....never saw a single person at that location in the dozen or so times I went by. Now, quite possibly that is the location he uses for his "aircraft" business.
agreed...and thx for the clarification
that's incorrect...a little over 100 dollars traded today and it went up 100% from .0001 to .0002
not a lot to get excited about considering they have done nothing but lie and scam for over a decade.
ahhh...makes sense...I have fought with them for years about inaccurate information they display....falls on uncaring ears...lol
