Let me weigh in to this by starting by saying I am long, have been for quite sometime, and will continue to be long when the new shares start trading.
That being said, I think its only fair that when people raise questions about AWYB, Don, Guy, revenue numbers, products, markets being approached, short positions, short squeezes, timing, and any other possible question under the moon, that they are all treated with the same respect. There are many investors in AWYB, many who would like to be in, and MANY who are short. Each investor has his or her own reasonings for their position, exit price, time horizon for investment, etc. I dont think its sound practice to immediately discredit a comment or question which may or may not be contrary to your own investment direction/reasoning.
There are many angles to every company. Personally Im here for the short position, but if others wish to ask questions about other aspects of the company, management, etc I beleive that we should take it with a grain of salt. There is no harm in asking questions. They wont change why Im here, and they shouldnt change why you are. If you believe so strongly in the short position, as I do, then you will not be threatened by opinions contrary to the majority here.
Just my two cents.

Thats terrific news. Guess my harrassment of them yesterday paid off.
I dont know which MM they use, but the next time I talk to a service rep I will be sure to ask.
Thanks for the awsome update!

RBC is the exact same crapola. I alerted the Reorganization department yesterday by giving them the latest PR indicating the mandatory share recall. They told me I may have to wait 2 business days just to hear back about the details of my request for more informaiton on the share exchange. You might true doing the same thing with Scotia. Seems to me that the Canadian brokerages are a little behind their US counterparts on things like this.

Most brokers will allow you to sell the converted shares with the provision that if the exchange ratio they originally thought (ie. 1:1) changed to a new ratio (1:2) you would be on the hook for the shares you sold but did not own. That being said, we really need a PR to confirm the exchange ratio. Otherwise IMO your playing with fire.
J
Phish that may be good adivce...appreciate the response, just damn excited about the trading soon to take place.
I guess @ 1:30 we find out if it be true?
BAMM followed your posts leading into the halt, and you were calling things pretty close. You have confirmed trading tommorrow and the new symbol as HLCI?
If its true that is amasing stuff. Do I dare ask how you know such things?
Thanks for the insights,
J
Any idea if we may trade in the next month and if Ill be able to sell my shares in the next month? I got myself in a bind here, and need to exit my position ASAP.
Im sweating bullets here boys and girls. Any help much appreciated.
J
called RBC today - they have no idea what is going on.
J
any chance we trade this week? today?

Dear Shareholders,
Please find a press release that should be crossing the wire in the next half an hour or so. If there are any questions at all, please e-mail us.
Angel Love,
Director of Shareholder Relations

AMERICAN WAY BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT CORP. UPDATES SHAREHOLDERS ON CERT RECALL
Market Wire
BOCA RATON, FL -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 10/25/06 -- American Way Business Development Corporation (PINKSHEETS: AWYB) ("AWYB" or the “Company”) on Friday, October 13, 2006, announced that it was taking the necessary steps that would lead to cert recall starting with a new CUSIP number. We finally received the new CUSIP number yesterday.
We are now proceeding with the next steps. The key specific steps that need to be taken include (i) finalizing the details of the new certs with the transfer agent; and (ii) obtaining a new NASD symbol. Since both the NASD and the transfer agent have been kept apprised of all our actions, it should not take very long at all. The NASD will then require that all future trades be done with the new certs.
The Company believes that, once the mandatory cert exchange is finalized, it will resolve the shorts problem once and for all. Specifically, we expect the process to work as follows. In its TA letter to NASDAQ, the transfer agent will note that the current shareholders will need to send in their current certs for the new certs being prepared by the transfer agent. NASDAQ will then inform DTC of the exchange requirement; DTC will in turn inform CEDE and other affected brokers of this requirement. This will have the effect of suspending trading until the old shares are sent to the transfer agent and new shares reissued.
Don Platten, President, states: “We understand that this is an onerous process but, after talking to our advisers, we realize that there is no other way of dealing successfully with the shorts. We also want to advise our loyal shareholders that once NASDAQ has informed DTC of the exchange requirement, the process will be entirely out our hands. How long it will take for the new certs to be issued will depend entirely on how quickly CEDE and the other share holders send in their current shares to the transfer agent. We cannot tell you with certainty whether that will be a matter of days or weeks. In any event, we urge our shareholders not to panic. We believe that this is the only sure way to force the shorts to cover their position. At this point, we encourage our loyal shareholders to advise your brokers to turn the AWYB certs to the transfer agent ASAP and not to sell into the shorts; otherwise, all our efforts will have been in vain.”

its all a game!
Was out for an hour - still seems very quiet. Anything interesting going on?
J
why would he be there?
I have emailed Don this morning to see if he still intends on releasing that NR today. No response yet. I will advise as information becomes available.
J
I doubt it
Thats what Don told me. No time indicated on the release. I am just as surprised as you that there was no release this morning.
J
sorry for the confusion - I wasnt meaning tonight. I had meant sometime in the future. A time frame was not provided.
J
EOD run?
Subpennyradio IMO is a very unbiased trading discussion station. Rufus made an idiot of himself, but that doesnt mean that the station made him the idiot. He did bring it on himself IMO.
J
Increase in awareness is only a good thing I would think.
J
A very reliable source has just indicated that Don may be interviewing on Subpennyradio.com. I will keep you informed with further information.
J
please be patient :)
J
No idea, but I do know the CUSIP will be. Don responded in like 3 minutes to my email.
AWYB PR confirmed for tommorrow :)

Hi Don,
It's not common that I email a CEO, but I have been so impressed by your work
in trying to re-establish shareholder value that I felt I must send you a
line. On behalf of myself and many shareholders, thanks for your hard work.
I have noticed that a new CUSIP # has been issued for the RM company Harvard
Learning Center (available on cusip.com). Would it be possible for you to
make a brief news release to the market today on this fantastic development?
I think it would go along way in forcing the shorts to move elsewhere (if you
know what I mean).
Your open communication has been very appreciated thus far. Thank you.

You guys can have your cars...Ill stick to a free University education...2 degrees for the price of ...25k AWYB :D
J
That "vexing" is exactly what the MMs have been trying to instill in shareholders. The more undesirable the trading is, the more likely people are to dump their shares.
Congrats to holding strong. It will pay off IMO.
J
25k .4, 21.5k .425
lol
do i hear the wind saying "NR today"?
J
i agree entirely
I expect the next news release that Donnie gives us will indicate that a new CUSIP has been generated and that all required documentation is now in place. Likely he doesnt want to release something saying "we are still waiting for the NASD". I think it will be a concrete release of CUSIP and exchange date information/reverse merger information.
JIMO of course.
J
As a show of support (not that my 25k shares are much), I thought I would let everyone know I am still in here and awaiting news. Weak hands seem to come and go, but here one thing is certain - I am not going anywhere. Let me see that PR Donnie!
