I haven't really used it as a trading tool.
I just glance at it occasionally. Curious as to what it may rate some of the stocks I already own.
Did you ever get your photos back from Homestead?
I was looking forward to seeing those. If you haven't don't worry about it, just curious.
I did a lot of networking this evening and I drummed up a few more investors for MSEP.
I think there is going to be a renewed interest in this, soon. Meaning, within the next week and a half.
AmericanBulls.com -
Our system posted a HOLD today. The previous BUY recommendation that was confirmed was made on 02.11.2005 (38) days ago, when the stock price was 0.0170. Since then MSEP has gained 132.35% .
Have you bought this stock when the recent BUY signal was confirmed? If so, it is great. Just relax and wait.
What will you do now? Well, the HOLD tag says all that is to say. Keep on holding your stocks and do not bother yourself with any further buying or selling as long as the HOLD tag stays.
Just keep holding on - we'll all do just fine!
I was in Disney last year - January 2004 and I raced.
I did the Disney Marathon - LOL
I did not do the Disney Raceway experience though. I did find an article that you might find interesting about someone elses experience there:
http://www.passporter.com/articles/richardpetty.htm
I regards to the company and where the PPS is going: I think that after the 10K comes out there will be renewed interest and that as another revenue stream is rolled out, a lot more interest. These guys are classy.
Mike,
I recently saw an episode of Discovery Health about a guy who wanted to be a race car driver, but he was overweight.
The show was all about his efforts to lose the weight and get into the shape he needed to be in to be a racer.
These guys have to be in excellent shape to sustain the forces that they do for so long.
It's guidance - Without the PR

Here's to more races!
OK, my question about the closing price was answered.
With the close at .0395
Horse caca! My entire portfolio, except for AAPL, closed down today. Oh well.
I am still extremely confident that MSEP is the best long term gains play right now. Confidence has not wavered even though we are down a bit. When 10K comes out and new revenue streams are introduced this PPS will be a distant memory.
Questions.
Are the MM's going to let this get back to .041 to close the day?
Since Arie did so well in the Phoenix 100, why doesn't the AFS team get him into some other races before the Indy 500?
The SP is floating around in the .03's on a daily basis then coming back up for the close. Is it a patterne that the MM's are controlling or is this the nature of the stock right now?
I have 200K of my 385K shares locked with a GTC at $1.00
The ask on my streamer just flipped form .0405 to .038 - wierd

Prediction for next race:
George Klotz, Team Manager, #7 XM Satellite Radio Dallara/Honda/Firestone:
"We just couldn't catch any yellows today. The thing that really got us was that first yellow that we missed by a lap. Most of the guys who finished ahead of us were in that yellow. Our car was good, but it wasn't perfect. We ran all day and the XM Satellite Radio crew gave us good pit stops. We'll just move on to St. Pete and win there."
PPS prediction:
.068 End of week
I figured that out from reading his previous posts.
I rarely post on RB now.
My posts here on iHub are becoming more and more infrequent.
I'll probably stop posting alltogether after this next week.
Still long and strong on MSEP though
I saw that post and was wondering who he was.
I looked at some old posts by Mwhiz011 and Mwhiz010 (Same guy?)
Looks like he was pro-MSEP then anti-MSEP now pro-MSEP again, How the heck does somebody change their mind so many times.
I was wondering how the St. Petersburg race came about and who was in charge of it all. It turns out Barry Green of Andretti Green Racing is organizing/promoting the whole thing. Here's the story about how it came to be:
Barry Green goes to bed early, but sometimes, especially these days, he wakes in the middle of the night. He pulls out a pen and paper and adds to his list of pressing chores.
There's so much to do and not much time. The Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg is just two weeks away. Please, please, don't remind him.
"I'd like to be more organized," he says, his daily to-do list staring up at him from a green folder on his desk. His blue dress shirt is perfectly pressed. It's 7 a.m., and he has already been at work more than an hour.
"Everything looks like a panic to me. We knew when we decided to do this it was a 12-month job that had to be done in six months."
About 2,000 concrete barriers must ring downtown streets. Thirty- thousand grandstand seats must be built. And then there's the four pedestrian bridges, 280 feet of hospitality tents, five jumbo screens . . .
Pressure rains hard on Green, the race's managing director and one half of Andretti Green Promotions, a partnership with the team Andretti Green Racing.
The 52-year-old Australian came out of a three-year retirement as a race team owner because he thinks St. Petersburg can be the country's next great open-wheel event. Forget the city's 20-year troubled marriage with racing, including its first major grand prix race two years ago that reportedly lost $1.3-million.
He ticks off city attributes like a convention and visitors bureau official, his Australian accent making them all sound more exotic: the waterfront track, the vibrant downtown, the usually sunny weather, the boats in the water.
"That's the only reason I'm involved," says Green, the public face of the race and its day-to-day organizer. "I think it's going to be something special."
He may be a first-time race promoter but he sounds more like a crusty veteran with his maps, contacts and lists.
On Green's chore list for this day: 3 p.m., give City Council an update on the 1.8-mile street race, scheduled for April 1-3. He's banking on a turnout of at least 60,000 spectators.
But first, he makes his daily morning check of the boomerang- shaped track that runs along First Street S, stretches around Central Avenue, comes down Bayshore Drive and turns a runway at Albert Whitted Airport into a straightaway.
It'll be the first time the Indy Racing League, the race's sanctioning body, will use a nonoval street course - a big deal to fans.
Green drives a Honda Odyssey minivan along the streets. He is concerned about some puddling from the rain off Central Avenue and Bayshore Drive and about some bumps in the road that must be ground down for the low-to-the-ground cars that will travel at speeds up to 175 mph.
Track checked. Mark that off his list. He still needs to call Honda about its party invitees, get a banner quote from sponsor 7- Eleven and develop a vendor layout inside the race area.
Green, admittedly, is deeply involved in the race planning despite a great faith in his employees, whom he calls his team. The man who likes his shirts hung in the same direction in his closet oversees many of the details.
"We all like to share the load with him," said his second-in- command, a local lawyer Tim Ramsberger. "But obviously he is an investor operator with racing. He feels it is on him."
Michael Andretti, a race partner and son of racing legend Mario Andretti, is not surprised by Green's diligent work ethic. He called Green a hard charger who knows what it takes to stage a race.
Green picked up the need for speed early. He sailed as a child but at age 13, he slipped inside a go-cart while growing up on a dairy farm in western Australia near the town of Burnaby. He was one of six children and already familiar with fast cars since his father took him to many of the local races.
"We had to occupy ourselves on the farm," said a brother, Kim Green. "When you grow up on a farm, you become mechanically minded and learn to drive early."
So it was no surprise when, at age 20, Green became a Formula One driver and traveled the world. He went on to become a mechanic. And then, in the early 1980s, Paul Newman's folks asked Green to move to the United States and run the actor's Can-Am team.
By 1994 he had become a team co-owner and one year later struck out on his own with Team Green. What a year it was. The team won the Championship Auto Racing Teams championship and the Indianapolis 500 with driver Jacques Villeneuve.
In 2002, Team Green became Andretti Green Racing. He sold the team to Andretti, his younger brother Kim and Kevin Savoree and glided into retirement.
Green devoted his time to his family, wife of 28 years, Jeanne, and daughter Katie, 15, who live in Indianapolis.
Meanwhile in St. Petersburg, Mayor Rick Baker called the Indy Racing League to try yet another attempt to get a race here. But the race needed a promoter.
Enter Andretti Green Racing. Andretti asked Green to write a business plan for the St. Petersburg race in which the city's deal with another promoter had crumbled. He never quite finished the plan before he was a race partner.
"I got caught up in all the excitement and went to work," he said.
Green secured a three-year sponsorship deal with Honda, a key sign of financial stability that was missing during the last race. He'd been affiliated with Honda for years and thinks it could benefit from putting its name and its money into the race.
His company signed a contract with the city to organize the race for three years.
Few of Green's colleagues seem worried about his ability to make the St. Petersburg race a success.
"Any time you've got Barry Green looking after something . . . the guy's first class," said driver Dan Wheldon, who races for Andretti Green. "Anything the guy touches turns to gold, I swear to God, anything I've ever witnessed. I'm sure he's going to turn that thing into gold."
Times researcher Caryn Baird and staff writer Brant James contributed to this report.
Phoenix is over. next on the schedule is St. Petersburg, FL.
On April 3rd - Street Racing is legal:
http://www.gpstpete.com/home.cfm
Mike - are you going to this one?
Dave - Mark... maybe you guys could have some sort of presence here... http://www.gpstpete.com/showcase.cfm ?
Arie's race was at 11:00am. It is not televised until the 24th though.
Bryan Herta is at the pole, on a track that he holds the speed record on.
This race should bring in a lot of interest in scalecars.com, driversdigs.com and Motorsports Emporium.
http://sports.espn.go.com/rpm/news/story?id=2016571
You summed it up pretty well.
I think the plan might be a little vague...
Like:
Planning to roll out new 2 streams of revenue.
They may be specific with time ranges but not what the streams will be, as they are weighing their options and don't want to make promises they can not keep.
But if they were to say:
We plan on unveiling a new stream of revenue within the next 2 months that will contribute to our goal of $1M - $5M in revenue for the year 2005.
Then I think you can take it to the bank that that's exactly what they will do.
All IMO
Imagine if you'd bought $7k worth then...
$2M today - It's nice to dream!
Anyone see what happened to the old SPEA?
Did anyone get in on this when it was under .01?
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&client=safari&rls=en-us&prev=/search%3Fq%3DCK...
BANG! BANG! BANG!
My ticker is stuck - not moving at all.
I thought knocking the computer on the side might help it along - It's not working.
Mike BFH - didn't work either - LOL
OK - I was a little confused as to who was racing and when.
Confusion set in when I saw that that Arie's race airs on March 24th. That is next week, but I knew that he was racing tomorrow.
Arie drives for AFS team tomorrow in the Pheonix 100 at 11:00am - that will not air until next Saturday, March 24th, on ESPN2 (Impress all your friends and predict the winner- LOL)
Bryan drives for Andretti Green tomorrow in the XM Poenix 200 at 3:00pm.
That will air at 3 p.m. (ET) on ABC and on Radio: Extreme XM (Channel 152)
Both of these races are at the Phoenix International Raceway.
Dave and Mark are going to be sooooo busy tomorrow.
Also - what is it with the volume? It seems there is none.
With the amount of exposure scalecars and driversdigs is going to get this weekend at the race, I cant imagine this will ever see .03 again. Let alone .01.
But our good friend, who shall remain nameless, was pretty insistent that this was going to .01, huh?
What's levelII showing? Anything interesting this morning?

It looks like the Andretti Green team is set to win this weekend, barring any unforseen oriental accidents. - LOL
Keep in mind, Bryan Herta has the speed record on this track!
Cool - I'm anxious to see them.
I was comparing charts, and did this one a few minutes ago:
http://finance.lycos.com/qc/stocks/charts.aspx?__VIEWSTATE=dDwtMjU0NzEyNDU2Ozs%2B&chartform=form...
I know MSEP is no AAPL, but I thought it interesting how similar the charts were. I own quite a few shares of each - LOL
G'Morning
I don't know what Tim Horton's is but if its danishes, I'll take 'em.
No hangover here. I was never much into drinking, not even on those "drinking" holidays.
Even if today is like yesterday or Wednesday, I'll be happy to eke out a small gain at the end of the day.
GLTA today.
Mike, did you get those pictures back?
I think it's because of the added exposure.
I feel the same way, anyone who is following MSEP and has done their DD know that the 10K should be clean.
When the 10K is released aren't there more investors that take note and look at the company as a whole, and possibly decide to invest?
That was what I was thinking anyway.
But of course I may be wrong. According a recent post here on iHub we are going to see .01 tomorrow. - hahaha
I can't read that chart - It has an advertisement on top of it - LOL
I guess I need to become a paying member to get rid of those.
Dubs and H2 are at it again over at RB. I read their posts and ROFLMAO - simply comical.
I would be glad to call in my certs. Do I contact my broker, Ameritrade, to do that?
manwe,
I also welcome you to the board. It sounds like you have been investing for some time. I am still fairly new to this.
Which brings me to my question. What is a cert? And how will requesting it help to squeeze the MM's and make them squirm.
Is that an actual certificate of a share?
If we request those does that make our holding less liquid?
I'm guessing, as my knowlede is limited - but growing. LOL
Exposure.
That is what is needed to get any business off the ground.
If you think these guys aren't working at that, take a look at this link page:
http://www.gogoracing.com/links/lquery.cfm?CategoryID=2
Scalecars is the 8th link down, driversdigs to appear soon?
Mike - MSEP is still showing under gaming and casinos here on iHub. Is there anyway that we can get that changed to reflect the current status of the business and not the former TNTI
There has been more Bryan Herta items added to driversdigs today.
Things are moving forward.
I think this is only in first gear right now.
The real fun hasn't begun. Wait until we are flying around the track at 210 mph.
I know I am looking forward to it!
Updated.
It looks as though there is a consensus about calls to the company.
I agree that calls should be limited, they do have a job to do, and fielding worried investor calls shouldn't be something they are constantly doing.
It will be interesting to see how today shapes up.
OT: Mike - I got in on UVCL at .027 - What kind of out point are you looking for? Or is this a LT play like MSEP?
Thanks for your input Mike!
Looks like we just took a little bounce off the LOD - IMO
LOL - That's too funny!
drmvz,
It is my understanding that the items sold through driversdigs are placed with them on consignment.
This way the company does not have to tie up funds buying inventory.
Previously, Arie's stuff was for sale on his website. As soon as he was associated with driversdigs, his "online store" link for his items on his website -linked to driversdigs.com.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Of course you can always find stuff on eBay for sale, by anyone and their brother.
Sorry Mike, I didn't mean to steal your thunder. - LOL
There are a couple of new Herta items added to Driversdigs.com.
I thought I'd see Arie Sr. items.
My guess is there will be some Arie Sr. items as soon as he decides what to sell, at what price, and then pictures can be taken and doctored for the web page.
3 new cars added to the scalecars.com site today as well.
My personal favorite is the burgundy Ferrari 246 GTS Dino - Nice looking car!
Things are progressing nicely.
10K soon.
After that announcement of new revenue stream?
EXCITING!
Mike,
I'd like to see your photos as well, if you don't mind.
I'll send you an email with the subject: colorado.
You have mail.
lostall - There is nothing wrong with being concerned enough about an investment to call the company and see what's going on.
No one is insecure, and it's personal attacks like that that are unnecessary.
Ok lets examine how MSEP came about:
December 7, 2004
Ten Stix changes name to Motorsports Emporium
Ten Stix Gaming Inc. is now Motorsports Emporium Inc., and it has made an acquisition to speed its transition into its new business model, Chief Executive David Keaveney said Tuesday.
...
"Our new name and trading symbol identifies us as a motor sports business, focusing on increasing revenues, share price and investor exposure," said Keaveney. "Our planned spin-off of Ten Stix Gaming this month will complete the transition and leave our gaming company image and its liabilities behind."
So David acquired TenStix with a plan to convert the company into a Motorsports business. How did he know about the business? You might be asking.
When this was still TNTI in 2003, David was retained by them because of his expertise in marketing and strategic bartering. That is a fact. He worked for them for about a year then this happened:
IDAHO SPRINGS, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 27, 2004--The Board of Directors for Ten Stix, Inc. (OTCBB:TNTI) appoints David Keaveney as Director, President, CEO and CFO.
Prior to TNTI David functioned as a strategic business consultant mentoring senior level executives on business development, marketing, reengineering and value growth. Early in his career he was Sr. Vice President of Investments for an independent Investment Banking firm where he specialized in business structure, valuation and core competency.
This proves that he know how to run a business - IMO
Upon seeing that the gaming part of this business was going nowhere he turned to his passion. Cars. As a former officer in the Ferrari Club of America, he decided to evaluate the possibility of having his own business that focused on that:
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 20, 2004--David Keaveney, CEO of Ten Stix Inc. (OTCBB: TNTI), announced today that he is evaluating multiple opportunities in the motor sports industry that could provide a new direction for the company.
Then he formed the Motorsports division and for a wholesale price he bought all interst in the scalecars.com venture, which operated on a part time basis made about $300K per year.
Next he divested all interest in the gaming side of the business as it was a LIABILITY.
Now he, along with marketing director Mark Wolkos and his wife Rhonda, et.al., is doing exactly what he said he was going to do. Get this business on the fast track to growth.
David and Mark are not concerned about the share price as they know that will follow when a business is run properly and money is made.
I have a vested interst in the business as an investor and all this information is from my own DD. Some of it is conjecture, but If you do you research I think you will come to the same conclusion as I have. This business will succeed and in the not so distant future, anyone that hitches up to this post will do extremely well.
Isn't this always the way?
I wake up and everyone else is gone to lunch.
I just filled at .043 not long ago, have another order in at .04.
It looks like there is a lot of indecision about the Arie Sr. news.
Judging mostly from posts over on RB.
IMO it is BIG news.
When, notice I don't say if, Arie Sr.'s items are listed on driversdigs, they will have to add a whole new section to the website.
It is my understanding that he has a lot of stuff.
Anyone that wants more info about Sr. can check out his web page at:
http://www.arieluyendyk.com/sr/
It piggy backs off his son's web site.
Anyone interested should read this story about Arie Sr.'s last race:
http://ims.brickyard.com/500/news/1999/luyendyk-022399.html
Another class act added to the MSEP advisory board!
GLTA
Be Squared -
The 10K will show that finances have been cleaned up since the days of TenStix. Since all interest in the gaming days of TNTI this has done a complete 180.
Very little, if no more debt. They acquired a money making venture - scalecars.com (which made approximately $300K run on a part time basis), and started up driversdigs.com. I agree that revenue's from that aren't going to be flowing. But the next revenue stream announced, with proper marketing, will be a cash cow.
As Mark told me, "Scalecars.com will be a very small part of our revenue stream."
If I am wrong about the 10k I will consider eating another one of my hats. - LOL
I feel the same way.
I have spoken with Mark quite a few times and David a couple. They are doing everything right.
The financial statement will reflect that.
I make that statement about my hat because I know I will not be eating it.
I am a little pleased that the SP remained low, I wanted to get more under .06. My funds will finally be available tomorrow. Woo Hoo!
