Same question here... yesterday action did look like dilution... Have been in DKGR for couple months. Hope zeroluv's right LOL.
BTW don't think I've posted here before, but great board!
Yup, getting close me thinks.
ARET... merger & new business model.
Latest PR is nice but it's NOT the big ticket, and I doubt very much it's why she ramped up so well over the past week (typical insider buying me thinks.) Also, the pps is holding well and hasn't been hammered on the news as has happened lately with lots of other stocks.
So what about that big ticket?
From May 12 PR
Arete Industries, Inc. received a letter of intent for possible merger and $25,000 nonrefundable deposit on May 11, 2006....
The letter of intent was received from an undisclosed oil & gas company. Representatives of the Company are in Florida today for a meeting to begin the due diligence process and set a schedule. The Company plans to issue more details and an 8-K as soon as they have a definitive agreement.
The Company has restructured and redefined its business direction, including seeking new business acquisitions.
ARET has mostly been a holding co, they could easily be used as a shell by a O&G company that would want to merge with them and get on an exchange quickly to capitalize on these insane oil prices ($100 is right around the corner IMHO.) One would think that oil co would be based in Florida... or was that just decoy info? Also, how could ARET possibly "acquire" an O&G company? Hmmm.
I haven't been able to come up with anything else on this. I think it's a crux issue though. Anybody with more info out there?
Not a lot of shares at all, volume's very small. Me thinks they'll just continue to try and to get as many cheap shares as possible in anticipation of what's coming. Could be NSS too but either way they get in big shitzky when small floats get a big run. Have seen this quite a bit lately. Just MHO.
Art sure hope you're right and I'm wrong LOL.
She can run to a penny and even beyond, but we need volume and when we DO get it, they have to stop diluting the crap out of her... IMHO.
Real results and less of that ridiculous dilution Alynnb.
I'm in other stocks where dilution is acceptable because they are in a business where overhead, machinery, craftmanship, etc. can be substantial. That's NOT the case with RMDG. I've actually worked in a related industry, and your biggest asset in those is hype-making and a big mouth for the wheeling and dealing. We know Costonis & co have that, and ON PAPER they have done a lot.
Printing shares fatten their wallets but it won't do squat for the future of this company. I think people are starting to figure out that the May PR barrage has been mostly fluff. You can only do that for so long...
Holdinhg here but I'm afraid without real numbers and substance we might revisit the .001 area.
Merger right around the corner?
I do like the action these past few days!
That would be nice, although those types of stocks spend a lot more time down than up LOL.
Hey, ARET should be a fantastic entry under .02 if you can, I've been watching it closely and there's something real big right around the corner IMHO (merger with larger co.)
Be well.
Hi Ata, long time... nice to see this one move north for a change.
Yes, he's a good man, looks like he brought a toon of volume!
I've got a question. I'm surprised that PLKC hasn't tanked right back down, especially today. What do you make of that?
ARET .0175 Humble I like it a whole lot too, me think there's something BIG coming up. Next week should be good!
Art2gecko you need to get out of town more often LOL.
Scottrade still down for you guys too?
Both web site AND Elite here. Geez...
ARET my guess is that merger ain't too far away olico... Shares held tightly by smart people... MMs couldn't tank her... Bet insiders have been loading up anyway LOL.
Yes on all points, and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and vlf for a terrific job on this board. I too am holding for much higher levels...
BUT
My point is that NONE of these good fundamentals will matter IF the CEO engages in one of the pinkies' biggest curses, which is not diluting in and of itself (OK by me when it's the only way to execute a good business plan) but what I call DILUTION BY TEMPTATION, which invariably kills good momentum and has eventually killed more than obne company altogether. What absolutely floors me is how shortsighted these greedy morons are. Say they release a huge load of new shares into the first good run (as most do, they just can't resist) they've brought in 50-100K. Now, if they would gradually release the exact same number of new shares over a few weeks, once confidence has set in and as the pps has inched towards much higher levels, they would easily bring in 10 to 20 times more money. Dumb... dumb... DUMB!
Want an example? Look at what RMDG, another I-have-cornered-my-market company just did over the last two weeks. They were easily on their way to a penny by this week. And there are tons and tons of others...
Let us hope the good folks at ATWT are smarter than that.
Keep up the good work!
ARET something's up, definitely IMHO. Had plenty of reasons to tank recently... instead it held very well and went UP!
Wonder why.. hmmm LOL
Also much more volume needed for ATWT. And hopefully no further dilution, or we'll barely hit a penny.
I like this co, but we better watch CLYP real close on the next run... should be very telling.
GMDP up 212% on small volume? Do you guys see this too?
Thanks JJ. A little perpective if I may.
Just 3 weeks ago this stock was trading under .001, I think many people forget about that.
Traders are messing with it for a good reason, they know it's got tremendous potential upside. I would not be surprised to see several more big runs over the next few weeks, and we can expect a big one 'round July 4.
Me, I'll give Costonis a couple more months to see if the May PR blitz was fluff or not. All these deals are great but they take time to trun into actual revenue streams. My sense is that they already HAVE positioned themselves to completely corner a market that for now is niche but has enormous planetwide upside, so RMDG would be total fools to destroy that by engaging in large-scale dilution, P&D or other scams. I'd like to see a PR with real guidance on the financials but I do note the CEO's self-imposed 5 million revenue before moving up one exchange. That number is a bit artificial for my taste but I think it's interesting.
You do make excellent points about the last few days, you just might want to try step back and look at the big picture over the Summer.
OT My very best to your mom (my grandma's in the same situation right now.)
Hi JJ.
Calm down, you have legit questions (OS) as do I but you are freaking yourself out and freaking out the board. Let FACTS come in and then the board can discuss them but posting every 30 seconds serves no purpose.
The stock is just retracing, that's all, and that's not unhealthy! And look at all the others, a sea of red today...
Even if it retraces to the high teens there's still tremendous upside.
Please take no offense. Just trying to help.
From the interview (the words in quote, hence the quote marks...) I'm not a very good typist and I had a LOT on my plate today but I think it's close to word for word.
Feel free to verify for yourself at the web site: wallst.net
Those labels you refer to, are they in the hip hop field and do they include some of the biggies in distribution like Vivendi? I believe that's what Costonis had in mind (If I recall the lady was asking him what made then different from others in the sector, or something to that effect.)
Back later, gotta run.
You're welcome BSD.
I'm actually in the middle of a whole bunch of things, you might wanna ask Art, I don't want to give you wrong stuff off the top of my head!
RMDG. HEADS UP!!
Art, I finally found that 5/15/2006 interview with Costonis at wallst.net... wasn't familiar with the site, had to sign up, but no biggie. Costonis sounded like he had a bad cold but I found some nice nuggets. Feel free to use this lil bit of DD in your ibox.
Here are just a few of the key points:
Their content delivery vehicles are state of the art in terms of technology, in some cases they are BETTER than that of big cos like Verizon and offers the customer more freedom and control with a software based platform.
"I don't know of ANY other record label right now that has 60 distributors woldwide right now..." (NUFF' SAID!)
Since he took over 9 months ago he has cleaned house (note the nice words on their site though, kinda classy and let's-not-burn-our-bridges, it surprised me especially because it looks to me like previous management - tyhe folks he got rid off - had gotten the company way in the red and the stock in the crapper) and reduced debt by 85% down to 100K. (that's pretty damn good IMHO)
Many new products launched, many new deals with other key companies (see string of recent PRs, he has a GREAT understanding of how to create and then dominate a market, their co controls much of the hip hop pipeline already... it's a 10 billion market wordwide... they are getting off the development stage and they clearly want off the pinks... WATCH OUT LOL.)
"Very confident that we will be profitable within 90 to 120 days" (again, nicely conservative here.)
"next milestone is BB status, we won't make that move until we've brought in at least 5 million in revenue" (which he sees within 12 months, I'd bet MUCH earlier than that, but nice to see that he's not all puff and fluff as are so many on the pinks.)
"Feel great about the foundation we've been able to lay down."
"Already dealing with major companies like Vivendi Universal here or in Europe the Pickwick Group based in London (I'd say more to come... also more big-name artists and quite possibly a high-profile co President.)
______________________
I also found this in the April Shareholders Letter, Look who they're emulating (in bold.)
"So how do the three companies relate to each other and the common goal of increasing shareholder value for our stockholders? RMDG companies can produce a music release, promote it, sell it globally, our artists can wear our clothing line as an endorsement, we can broadcast it all on mobile phones and on-line (IPTV) around the world, and once again sell the music and clothing products during that broadcast. It is a true global entertainment group. Management's goal is to have a portfolio that matures and eventually looks like Sony Music, Sean John Clothing, and Comcast Cable Services. We feel this type of business platform is quite formidable if we continue to make progress as we have these past few months. It is my goal as CEO of RMDG to make this company profitable as soon as possible. As always, you have my commitment to success, hard work, and sincere thanks for your support."
I hope this helps everybody. My only concern is that the A/S is a little high but there's been more and more interest and volume lately, and I don't think they are dumb enough to kill the momentum especially with being almost in the black now.
Am I ready to let a single one of my shares go at these ridiculous levels? Hell no LOL. What they've done is big, what's in the pipeline is BIGGER. This is heading right up to 1-3 cents IMHO, and sooner than we may think.
Agreed Art. Me thinks a couple pennies IF they don't dilute the crap out of it. Given that the kind of deals they have been implementing recently are more strategic than cash-gulping, it's a real possibility. But it's a pinky...
Another thought, a week or two ago I vaguely remember reading something about the CEO talking about moving to a higher exchange, maybe in some kind of interview?
Anyone has a link or specifics on this? That could be a key part of the puzzle.
Alynn and Toon, I own it and I've been watching it closely, we have had some pretty good runs and volume lately, and I think we should trade in the higher .002s, at least. Instead we're languishing down here, what do you think the chances are that the co is diluting and adding shares all along this good string of news? That could explain the price...
Also, there was some comment a while back about the CEO possibly mentioning moving RMDG to a higher exchange, it might have been in some interview but I can't find that info now, would anyone on the board have details on this?
Thanks.
ARET, big news just after close or early Monday?
A distinct possibility IMHO.
Yup, just like most of them, but on the positive side they don't seem to be interested in putting out fluff, just real deals. We shall see LOL...
Agreed, IPMG, just not quite yet, but it's got potential to be a nice winner.
Up, but not for anywhere from a few weeks to a couple months... will be radaring it til then... all IMHO Mister Kingster.
RMDG yes, BIG next week...
Wouldn't want to be out of shares then, and possibly as early as Monday morning.
RMDG agree BB. Also DIVY NEWS by 05/19 as per recent PR (Dividend confirmation PR earlier than that IMHO.)
RMD Entertainment Announces Letter of Intent to License the Marketing & Distribution Rights of Its Products in India & Caribbean Countries
By BusinessWire
Last Update: 5/9/2006 9:53:01 AM Data provided by
PHILADELPHIA, May 09, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- RMD Entertainment Group (Pink Sheets:RMDG) announced today its has signed a Letter of Intent with Wide E-Convergence Technologies Americas Corporation (WECTAC) (Pink Sheets:WDCV), that will grant a five year license to market and distribute any and/or all of RMD's Products in India and the Caribbean Countries, most specifically RMD's MOTV content delivery technology.
Based in Bay City, Michigan, WECTAC, a software delivery platform developer and a provider of e-learning technologies and services for training, education and communication, will custom develop back-end commerce solutions for RMD's MOTV Platform as well as market the entertainment and retail interactivity capabilities of MOTV to the mobile communications users in India and the Caribbean countries.
Under the proposed terms, WECTAC will issue 14 million Restricted Common Shares and 12 Million Warrants at $.10 per share to RMD Entertainment in consideration for the 5 year license, a value of approximately $112,000 based on the closing price of WECTAC shares at the end of trading on Monday. As a corollary, RMD's management is making arrangements to deliver at least 10 million of these restricted shares to its shareholders in the form of a special dividend. The final terms of the license and dividend will be released after the signing of the definitive agreement, which is anticipated to occur within the next 10 days.
RMD CEO Giorgio Costonis commented, "This agreement with WECTAC will enable us to leverage their expertise in communications technology and software delivery into added functionality and commerce capabilities on the MOTV platform. Ultimately we are striving to deliver the deepest and richest user experience possible, and I believe that partnering with WECTAC in this manner helps us to do exactly that." He continued, "Additionally, we are able to utilize WECTAC's knowledge, contacts and marketing capabilities within the Indian and Caribbean markets to gain regional traction and revenues for our MOTV platform.
IVFH now .034, last order 100K somebody loading up.
Big news tomorrow?
Radar this one.
BB and other folks, you might want to radar IVFH.
Looks like something might be up.
Hi Snap, just a quick thought on this one. I used to own it and made some $$ (10+ bagger) but it looks like those days are long over. No time to DD it again now but when I sold there were some serious problems with management/direction (they had some of the most brilliant video software products on the market and sold THAT part of the co to Sony... LOL.)
Be careful... might be good for a lil profit though.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
Your post speaks volumes walldog0.
Guess what, you are still wrong. In fact, darn close to completely wrong, as future developments in the region will show (feel free to bookmark this post, by all means.)
No wonder you resort so easily to insulting people, you haven't a clue about some of the most critical aspects of investing in ERHE.
But it's Christmas season, so GLTY (you'll need it too.)
walldog0 compared to you Joe is a choir boy.
What enrages you and your little gang is that now that his blog is up (and quite influential,) it's gotten a lot harder for you to pump & dump and clean out unsuspecting ERHE investors.
You know it, I know it, and thank goodness more and more people know it.
So far no contracts has been signed for any block in the second round, and two US independents, Devon and Noble Energy, have withdrawn from the process....
The report claims ERHC's participation discouraged more qualified companies from bidding because of "reputational, financial and technical concerns..."
Of course I fully expect the spinsters and pumpers here to find ways of twisting even this report. But hey, either you believe the Energy Intelligence Group, or you believe them!
Oh, and today's allegations are not worth addressing, according to our company's front office...
SOME people did buy these millions and millions of shares as the price was plummeting today though, so will line their pockets again. A few post right here, expect them to start pumping as soon as this pill has been swallowed IMHO.
Bottom line: Things are pretty darned grim right now for ERHE.
SEC...
Stockguard? He has already dumped, along with some of the other pumpers on this board and on RB. There's very little doubt about THAT.
Re-read his messages, look at what he/she says, the timing... then look at the SP action...
Works every time LOL. Those here who aren't with the crew were had. AGAIN.
ERHE - Major dumping going on. Racing towards 52 Wk low right now.
