Magic, the dividend shares of SNYY are not tradeable for a year and will show no value in your account until that time. So if you are in BKMP FOR BKMP and what it offers through Blackout Communications and TFN, why the worry about the divy showing? These things can take time to work through the channels and get distributed. In a year, they might be worth nice coin to us, but for now it is a distraction. Only those getting out once they see the divy in their acct need to care about it, and they can sell anytime now, as it is.
We might see that .0006 Tuesday. I hope not as I'm bought in as far as I can go and it would look ugly for the portfolio. But as I'm holding for something higher, that's just temporary displeasure at the sight of it. But it's held up pretty well with the divy-players leaving, and it looks like a lot more left today with E-Trade getting their act together on the symbol change. If they're cleared out, we might start moving higher. But if it is still stagnating, then the boredom factor comes in for selling. All my play money is tied up right now so I can't say I'm not a little anxious, but unless something changes to the bad side, I can't see giving up any of the shares I have right now.
Tuesday would great. We'll find out if the code is the same or if the cabal changed it.
wb, Phish.
OT ~ Do you have some longhorns adorning the hood of your cadillac?
I dunno. But spread is .0007x.0009 but matching trades are going at .0008x.0009.
What I think BKMP has going for it over most pinksheets makes me think it should be trading higher, especially when see what a lot of these pinkys go for, but wtf do I know, I guess.
I've had my pill today so I'm pretty sure the MM's aren't watching me. Tuesday might be a different story.
4x5 .0007x.0009
Mr. Garrow also stated that, "Additional carrier deals for the television channel have also been lined up and will be announced in joint with cable and satellite providers in the coming weeks and months ahead, along with other brand extensions for The Fight Network that are in the works as well. This is a very exciting time for BKMP.
We do know it's coming. Freight train picking up speed!
February for at least an annoucement doesn't seem out of reach in view of the recent pr concerning new carrier deals and the push to get into the U.S. It'd be nice, for sure!
Maybe it means I NEED a pill. I'm refusing the inkblot test.
Painting ~ I like this better. That other one hurt my head! I see a ship here being swallowed by a huge wave. Very cool painting.
jc, E-trade is in disarray right now with taking in Harris. I hope it all settles down soon. I've been quite happy with them up until the last week, so we'll see how long it takes to get back on track from the merger.
Luv, please read back. Vulcan is kidding. It's good to drop the divy stuff, but also good to drop the jumping on anyone who brings it up. Just a thought and request.
Bigjo, I usually do a gtc for a number of shares at a profit price I'm happy with. That way I don't forget. And, as you say, things can happen so quickly that if we're gone we can miss a big run followed by a drop-off.
It's all that playing in the tulips. Gotta have an effect on a person.
Vulcan was joshing, Blackrock.
f1, if you can stand the current long wait on the phone, give E-trade a call. I called back yesterday afternoon and they finally got it taken care of for me. Why the change over in name wasn't universal, I can't figure.
Thanks for the reply. I've seen you post that before. I'll take the time to read it this time and try to understand this stuff more! Having LII finally has been an eye-opener and I see now why folks consider it indispensible to trading. And, yes, getting a look at L3 would be great fun.
I know it's good to have plenty of MMs on a stock, but what is the significance when a new one joins the fray, if I may ask? Thanks.
Nice article and sit-down with Garrow to build recognition, and interest from people to call their carriers. In time when someone reads one of those interviews they will know to look up BKMP as the place to invest a bit of money to be a part of it that way.
I'm struggling with the question of threatening the kitty. I feel a bit guilty just for laughing so hard at the picture. But but but raising my hand.
Nice, Going. Let's get it on!
Unfortunately, yip, lots of people on stockboards are less than honest, or at least less than forthcoming. However, it has been pr'd by Blackout Media, with backup from Mike Garrow at TFN, that there are deals coming. It is unlikely such information would be known (except to really "in" people :) ) until it is pr'd. but the deals are coming per the company. Anyone who gives a certain date is probably off the mark, just as those who call for a big price drop are off the mark. Both are engaging in wishful thinking and/or manipulation.
UFC getting a bit big for its britches ~ from the TFN website ~ bring on PRIDE and AWE on TFN
UFC SUES WFC
Ultimate Fighting Championship Files Federal Lawsuit against the Worldwide Fighting Championship
Denver CO, January 11, 2006: The Ultimate Fighting Championship and its ownership company Zuffa LLC, has filed a federal lawsuit against the Worldwide Fighting Championship for using the words “fighting,” and “championship,” within its name.
The lawsuit was filed Wednesday, January 11, 2006 stating that the use of the terms “fighting,” and “championship,” is a violation of copyright law and somehow misleads fans into thinking that the two promotion companies are somehow related. In addition to the suit, Zuffa LLC, is moving to stop the WFC from using its name as well as stopping the event “Rumble in the Rockies,” slated for January 21, 2006 at the Budweiser Events Center.
The WFC feels that the verb “fighting,” and the noun “championship,” is a generic term used to describe the type of sports event being produced. The term “Fighting Championship,” is the MMA industry’s equivalent to the term “Operating System,” or “OS,” used in the technology industry. Many different companies such as Microsoft Windows XP, and Macintosh OS 10, are companies that use and rely on the term to provide consumers with a description of the service provided.
The unprecedented lawsuit by Zuffa LLC, has far reaching ramifications, and poses the question of whether the UFC will now file against MMA companies like the Japanese super-promotion PRIDE Fighting Championship for the same reason.
This controversial action by Zuffa LLC is the latest of moves intended to alienate the promotion company from the rest of the MMA industry in a negative manner. The first such action came as the UFC banned all online media from covering UFC events except for in-house and mainstream media outlets.
The WFC prides itself on openness and accessibility and will continue encourage and invite all forms of media to cover WFC-related events and promotions. The WFC feels that the lawsuit is completely baseless and a ploy to create an illegal monopoly by claiming ownership of a generic term.
The UFC has been criticized within the MMA industry as of late for its lack of serious championship contenders and lackluster fight cards. UFC has elected to handle this matter with lawsuits against other companies rather than delivering a superior product.
The bottom line is that the WFC feels that this frivolous lawsuit will be dismissed in a timely manner and plans for “Rumble in the Rockies,” are in full force and fans will again fill the Budweiser center. It is obvious that the UFC fears the competition from this relative new kid on the block and the WFC will continue unencumbered, as the fastest-growing MMA promotion company in the country.

It's hard to imagine that info that should be held for a pr would be sent in an e-mail, but it does whet the appetite for what IS going to come at some point. And tomorrow would suit me fine.
Wendel, I saw a 3-fight package on PPV going for 80-something dollars a few days ago. 100 for one fight might not be true, but the prices are up there for this stuff. Floors me. I hate paying 3.99 for a movie, but it seems plenty of people really want this stuff. A premium channel that a 24/7 fight network would draw a lot of customers.
There is a board for SNYY.
gotta run right now, but you might google (or yahoo) "the fight network". It is fun and encouraging to see how many hits you get and how much the word is spreading on this channel. It is on Rogers cable in Canada right now, and the company has more carriage deals to come before long.
There is much speculation on that subject, menny. It's all over my head, though. But check Iluvbbs posts on talking with the DTC as to delivery. A short squeeze would be sweet, but we'll see what happens. :)
For fun check out http://thefightnetwork.com ~ it's the website of the fight channel. Soon, the new site should be up for Blackout Communications. There is a lot listed up in the Ibox to look at, as well as prs, to get started. Contact information for Sandy W is listed, and on the fight network site there are e-mail addresses for people if you wished to contact someone there.
it's 2.5 a/s, and 1.6 o/s if you didn't know.
E-trade ~ thanks, Popguy. I'm with E-trade and just called about the symbol change. It sure is painful to call right now while they get the Harris folks acclimated. I was waiting 28 minutes for someone to speak! Anyway, she said it should have already been done and she'd send it on to the tech people and it should happen quickly. I hope I don't have to call back again in the morning and wait some more. ouch.
http://www.thefightnetwork.com ~ watch out for those backstabbers. Oh, that's us. I get so confused.
They wouldn't fill at .001 then filled at .0009? that's pretty funny. But glad you got it!
No problem, next time I'll send in pm. :) sorry board.
I don't know about sux, but it sure is boring. It has me thinking of doing laundry and that is really sad.
They've been delivered to the DTC and some people have them showing in their accounts and some don't yet. It can take awhile for these things to happen.
I've had E-trade fill me on this in seconds, and other times have had the order sit for over an hour. If you could manage to get through on the phone, it might be fun to tweak them a bit.
Maybe they are trying to find "real" shares for you, Sean, and they can't get any at the price they're so far willing to pay.
