Bought 500 @ 8.50 - still might have been too early, though.

doggone,
It means exactly what I said. I cannot post it.
Further, since most of my posts are deleted by the monitors anyway, this will be my last one.
I wish all of you actual shareholders the very best of luck.
I plan to hold what I have and add shares appropriately.
Happy Holidays to you all!
Cat
Can you tell us what the company told you with regard to 'security'? the terrorist short connection that you e-mailed and left messages about?
No. I cannot.
No - the fact is that you take each word of a PR and spin it back to the board as if it were supposed to be an absolutely accomplished fact.
Most of us here are experienced investors and/or traders and understand the "Safe Harbor" statement. We also understand the meaning of "forward looking statements".
jmack3265 and hachu,
Thanks for a most interesting discussion! I had to do a bit of research in order to grasp both sides of it, but learning is always good.
Regards.
Cat
I cannot speak for anyone else, but for me, those who post "questions" day after day, repeat the same "misgivings" day after day and question the mgmt of PHGI day after day have become completely, utterly, totally boring and repetitive.
We need a better class of negativism. Perhaps I should go out and see if I can round up a few posters who have shown some real creativity in their posts. They obviously don't need to be shareholders. just educated, imaginative writers.
May I have Tennessee please?
ah........dognotgone right on schedule.
But we don't appear to ve unwinding in any hurry - a bit of consolidation this week would be expected.
If you're hearing that, perhaps an audiologist could help you.
Redskins for this week, please.
No, I did not inquire about permits. I assume that any required permits have been applied for and have been, or are in process of, being approved. I will leave it to you to provide proof that my assumptions are incorrect.
I have both left a message and sent email regarding your states re: security.
No problem. I will assume that THE company spokesperson is JB and make the appropriate inquiries.
ah - thank you for the reply - as it was not common knowledge to me, please provide the company spokesperson's name and phone number so that I may verify.
tia.
Could you please provide the link to where it said that? I can't seem to locate it.
tia.
It shouldn't - it's relevant to PHGI and maybe some investors would like to go to the board to see if it offers anything for them.

Might as well post the message URL.

And everyone should note the date on that msg - just a bit stale, perhaps?
Sad new for fans - esp Redskin fans.

Jacksonville, please.
Whistles,
Why are you here then?
"I have never held a position in PHGI, I don't buy down trends or stocks which i believe have been created purely to enrich insiders."
You have nothing better to do with your time than go to stock boards dissing stocks you have no interest in?
Regarding stock weakness, several people have commented that it might be institutions having to lighten up due to current conditions. That's also true for retail investors. Several good friends who were not even particularly highly leveraged, have received margin calls of late due to some rather horrendous drops in other stocks. This drop is surely no fun, but neither is the market in general. The downward spiral doesn't have to be a conspiracy, bad FDA news, MMs, or shorts. It could just be the result of overall market behavior.
Back to lurking now.
Cat
Philly please and thanks!
doggone,
This is just exactly the same boring, repetitive goat rodeo that we had over the radio stations about 6 months ago - only that time it was different members of the Crew.
You have not brought one new question to the table - and there is no answer that would not simply generate more repetitive useless questions.
Since you feel so strongly about making sure everything is done for "the good of the shareholders" might I suggest that you leave the small, start-up known as PHGI and take your talents to help the shareholders of CROX, Citi, MS, and ML for starters. They are obviously in need of many someones like you to help them determine all of the things their mgmt did that was not for the shareholders benefit.
When PHGI is larger and profitable, you can come back and ask more questions, or - if we have fallen by the wayside, you can say "See - I told you so".
Have you never owned a stock that has uplisted from .pk to .ob?
How did he "sell" it to the company?
The radio stations are owned free and clear. Anytime you add an asset (than can be valued) to an existing entity, you have added value to the entity and also provided collateral which can be used to secure future funding, if needed.
"Something tells me, the small facility now under construction is the result mostly of efforts by lamar lindsey and robert boothe, the phgi management members on or near site, OPP locals."
Please provide your source as to whom or what is telling you this.
"It is doubtful this present facility will ever be profitable"
Please provide facts and numbers to justify this statement.
I, for one, am really getting tired of the innuendo that is being presented post after post on this board.
If the moderators are going to be so much stricter with the "positive" posters, I would like to see them at the least, insist on some facts by the negative posters.
After all - every single PR ever posted contains "safe harbor" statements which make quite clear that all statements regarding future plans and operations are to be taken as intent - not as absolute facts.
What? If he did that we would hear:
1. "This is proof that the company puts out PRs in bad faith - Beebe never intended to use those for shareholder value - it was just another excuse to pump the stock so they could dump millions more shares"
2. Why did Beebe take these assets back? There has to be something that he is hiding and doesn't want the shareholders to know, Once it was determined that he really didn't "own" the TV station, he had to quickly remove any reference to it.
3. And - with every single PR that followed - no matter what it referenced, we would hear "there's no way we can believe this. Remember the TV and Radio Stations".
It doesn't matter one tiny bit what Beebe does or doesn't do - the Crew is not leaving - which is to bad for those of us who actually are investors in this company.

Cat
Surfin,
"cute language" is right. Here's a direct cut and paste:
After several phone calls to other media and businesses in Andalusia I can now relay more information to interested members of the board. the unanamous consensus of those contacted feel that WKNI-LP is no longer broadcasting. This information was not stated as fact by those contacted but as their general assumption. have so far been unable to establish contact with any WKNI personnel to deny or confirm.
Since media generally have phone/fax/email that is available to the public, he should have provided the contacts with whom he spoke. Those would be facts. Instead - he chooses to dance around it and use innuendo.
Doggone,
If you are going to continue with these questions (seems like a rerun of the radio staton questons), you really need to do the interview.
That way you will have the answers you seek regarding TV 25 and we will get some relief from your constant FUD.
If you refuse the interview, just as others refused to chat face to face with JB, it casts considerable doubt on your credibility.
Please let us know the date and time of your interview and I'm sure, being it's a TV station, that it will be taped for us to enjoy at a later date.
tia,
Cat
Doggone,
This is a rather complex bill. Unless you can provide a source that shows specifically which provisions these congresspersons were opposed to, as they apply to PHGI - then it would seem to me to be irrelevant.
-Grants $38 million in technical assistance to specialty crop producers (Sec. 3007).
-Allocates $1 million each year from 2008-2012 for loans to broadband internet providers in rural areas that currently have fewer than two providers in the area (Sec. 6023).
-Allows the Secretary of Agriculture to spend $991 million for the purchase of fruits, vegetables and nuts to provide nutritious foods in domestic nutrition assistance programs (Sec. 10103).
-Requires that the amount of taxes on payments to a subsidiary that would be subjected to a withholding tax cannot be less than the tax amount that would be owed had the payments been made directly to the foreign parent corporation (Sec. 12001).
-Establishes a table of market assistance loan rates for 20 commodities including corn, wheat, barley, oats and soybeans (Sec. 1202).
-Offers incentive payments for the production of oil seeds that reduce the need for hydrogenated oil (Sec. 1211).
-Supports the price of dairy products by requiring the Secretary of Agriculture to buy cheddar cheese, butter and nonfat dry milk made from milk produced in the United States (Sec. 1401)
-Renames the Food Stamp Program to the Secure Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program and replaces coupons used for the Food Stamp Program with electronic benefit transfer cards (EBTs) which can be used at any retail food store (Secs. 4001, 4011)
-Develops the Initiative to Address Obesity Among Low-Income Americans by providing $10 million a year until 2012 to implement programs designed to lower the obesity rate in the United States (Sec. 4023).
-Allocates $125 million for the Secretary of Agriculture to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables for public schools, provided that the funding is used to buy locally grown produce wherever possible as part of the Buy American statutes (Sec. 4301).
-Provides grants up to $50,000 for landowners who have lost private forest land due to wildfires, hurricanes, drought, windstorms, insect and disease, ice storms or invasive species to help with reforestation (Sec. 8102).
-Provides $420 million for the Biomass Research and Development Initiative, to award grants and financial assistance for the research of biobased fuels and products (Sec. 9006).
-Grants $20 million to universities for studying the use of sweet sorghum and switchgrass as alternatives to corn in the production of ethanol fuel (Sec. 9020).
-Appropriates $50 million for grants of up to $10,000 a year for farmers who convert their farms into organic farms (Sec. 10303).
Assuming that this somehow applies to PHGI, what bill was HR 2419?

Uncle Meatball,
What price are you wanting to buy more PHGI at?

Doggone,
Thanks for the reply. I marked that post also and that the pps at the time was .0065. We'll see where we are in a year.
Cat
Doggone
I have marked your post. We can use it for future reference.
Your agenda has become clear.
For the record - I do not believe PHGI has any intention of filing for BK. Nor can I discern any reason for your statement.
Would you care to give us a timeframe on "the not so distant furure".
Tia

Uncle Meatball,
Thanks for sharing the chart!

I'll take Green Bay this week, please.
doggone,
I fail to understand how one can confuse "facts" and "views". One is subjective - one is not.
As an example, your view of blinders - or blinkers- is that it allows investor to only see the bright side ok PHGI. That is your view. However, the horseman who puts blinkers on his horse does it to keep his horse focused on what is in front of him, encouraging him to pay attention to the race rather than other distractions. That is a fact.
