JMVHO, Sculpin. No big crystal ball or tarot cards or signs in the heavens (unfortuantely). Just an unusual volume day and a PPS that rose with it.
Woody.
Some will buy at .0002.
I bought another 3 million today. I tell you something's up and it's big. The bottom stirred the other day and there was accumulation on a scale that cannot be measured, over 100 million traded. I just had a pinky stock go from .0004 to .0059 in a week. I know it can happen quickly and the strange burp in volume a few weeks ago was just the kind of mystic bottom feeding that I look for.
Well, that's my take and I put my money where my take is. I have a bit to spend after the other pinky sailed.
Woody.
Mother-in-law says stay the course.
I didn't know that this had been promo'd on other boards the past few days/weeks?
I took a load of profit like everybody else and kept my core holdings which are never going anywhere. Just had to protect capital which is what I think a lot of people were doing today. Monday is a new day, indeed. I think the capital preservation is over for the most part until we get over .0075 and then there will be a little more profit taking. Then there are the turn over dudes who will hope to sell high and buy back low. That's going to happen and could easily have happened today for a huge turn over.
My take is, over all, hang on. This is beautiful. It's going to make some substantial money for everyone.
Woody.
Congratulations Longs who read all the posts during the down years.
Johnnyvits, now I'm afraid to tell her, hehheh.
Looks like another raging 'up' day ahead. This is the stuff of possible legend. Well worth the wait. Boy, was it painful.
Woody.
CONGRATS TO ALL LONGS.
I know Orangeman. I pulled my average down to .0023. It's been a wonderful experience with the .0004 accumulation. Now I don't know what to do, hehheh? It's a nice problem.
Woody.
Tomorrow will be up. After that, who knows? Should take a breather. Maybe.
It is a darn good feeling. eom.
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, LILCHOKER.
The writing's on the wall last week. We had a phenom. Something stirred the bottom of the pool. Take advantage of the .0002 price and put a few million in your account. You will be super glad you did. It will cost you very little. When it doubles or triples you won't do it and when we have a 10 bagger you will rue the day you didn't load up at .0002. Something stirred the bottom of the pool last week. Somebody knows something. It's a sign post. Don't ignore it. I'm not.
Woody
Well, show me your faith and I'll show you my works.
Averaged down a lot and now it's paying off. I guess the bottom line is "DO YOU HAVE THE SHARES?"
Orangeman, thanks. This is only going to get richer, hehheh. Wow. What a trip.
Woody.
Well, Orangeman, I appreciate you,
and I am still putting my money where my mouth is even though I do like to bark with a few beers under my belt and howl while I'm averaging down. Full moon coming up.
Woody.
SO AM I. eom
Orangeman3, you know I've been around here for years.
The crap shoot is paying off a bit I see. Nice to have bought some at the bottom. And I don't expect any more info than we are getting after getting to know the CEO (or not know him). I would like more, of course. Just verbalizing frustration even in the light of movement. I'm rolling the dice along with everybody else here.
Woody.
kingpeanut, I did my part and added
to my pile, as well. I'm betting that something's up and can almost be sure of it after today's action. Yesterday wasn't a mirage. Slobbering all over myself wondering what it is?
Woody.
Stks...enjoyed that one. No false positives
for the ginseng.
And thanks, Mike, for the blog.
I think we are going to experience a bit of a rise here. One thing of note, if I weren't invest at this point, I doubt I'd be able to bring myself to pull the trigger thinking about all the millions of shares I let sit there at .0002. Well, I'm not complaining at my good fortune (with the ginseng, of course). Richie's still right, details are sparse BUT the direction is undeniable.
Woody, smokin'
This is interesting isn't it?
High volume on an up day. No news. But somebody knows something. I think we have a bullish scenario here, Sculpin. Arne, we're behind you. You don't go from average 10 day volume of 25K to 114,000,000 suddenly and there not be a huge reason behind it. It's not unloading because there was a buyer suckering poor sellers out of the closet. Tomorrow will tell more.
Waiting for this story to unfold. Goosebumping.
Woody
Yes, ERnieD, I agree. Hi, Richie.
I bought more today and figure it's a pitance compared to the % I already have at a much higher price. The gamble is rather small at this price down here and the potential, IMHO, seems to have the possibility of sizzle. So there you have it, folks. Not a very scientific approach, nor is it full of DD, nor does it have a YS sanction, although, I'm sure he is quite glad I'm scarfing up some of his printing press billions.
I still agree with Richie. Identa will go up when Yaacov wants it to. I still think this is a classic poison pill ploy.
Woody
PS. Have another bundle of joy on the way.
Hi, lilchoker and everybody
Thanks for posting the DD page. I bought another million shares today. Don't quite know what got into me? Truth is I don't have any information from Arne or anything. I guess I just looked at where I've come from and where it's going and the possibility and thought it would be a good time to average down here. Arne's not out yet. % wise my investment today was miniscule. I think many of you understand here.
Woody.
Hey, Johnnyvits and Richie and Pamo and all the longs here.
I don't know if it's a very interesting story but we are having a great time in the woods. Growing a commercial ginseng crop and waiting for Shoham to show himself. The disappointment is shared by all. I think back on MDOR that Richie is familiar with (I started there with him) and now it's really cranking. I think this could happen here with a little patience (I'm becoming a patient).
Looks like our cabin is going to have to expand for four, hehheh.
I am following all the news and posts via the public library as that is all the Internet I can get. Don't have TV or Internet and really love the respite. Rekindling old affections, hehheh. Out cutting wood for warmth most clear days.
Richie's assessment rings true to me here. Shoham will move when Shoham is ready and Shoham knows when that will be, IMHO. AND It could have been a poison pill that will wear off in time, as well.
In Bud lite moments I still think Yacov got upset with shareholders at all the name calling and harsh words and decided to stack the deck against us. Dilution to insiders and then a RS would essentially propel the company back into private hands. I do think it's much more complicated than that, really. As I said, a few Bud lite moments make for some pretty sassy BB blowoffs. I apologize for those indiscret moments of dispair.
Well, in the absence of news and views one can only speculate and dredge up the past and there really aren't any areas that haven't been sifted through thoroughly.
Until the next library visit.
all the best all of you and really hope to meet for a real Bud moment when this thing takes off. (I'm still buying when I can get it for .0002.....only a hundred here and there)
God bless.
Woody, still hangin till the rope breaks.
Hey, Johnnyvits and Richie...
When I talked with Yaacov for over an hour one day he brought up the fact that he'd been called names by numerous shareholders and he seemed quite irritated about it. Infact, that stuck in my head afterward as being a bit strange. I only offer this as one explanation of why he has diluted the shares and then will R/S on us eventually. Makes what we hold almost worthless as the PPS will surely tumble from the split price as almost always happens.
My little girl is almosts 11 months old and doing wonderfully. I found this program called 'your baby can read' and would recommend it to any couples with young children. The guy who invented the program has daughters that are out of high school now and one of them said she read the whole Harry Potter series in one day. I'll take a tenth of that any day.
Thanks Johnnyvits for asking. I'm living in a little cabin in the woods of Kentucky now, waiting for Identa to go up.
Woody, hangin till the rope breaks on this one.
Merchant of Venice strikes again.
A pound of flesh....no just your worthless shares. We have been duped by a doper. If Yaacov had any sense (and I've talk with him for over an hour and he seems to have some) he would work on making a success of the company (which would include the share price and shareholder value which he said he cares about, hahahhaha). BUT, I really think that he was mortally wounded by shareholder name calling and hubris and is paying back, as only a Merchant of Venice can, by making all our shares worthless. He was truly hurt and, like a little child, decided he was going to seek revenge and destroy shareholder value while literally giving the company to insiders by issuing and distributing billions of shares. When the R/S comes it will become apparent to all of us. Shakespeare you are such a brilliant playwright. Now answer me this....who is a worthy investor if not us who have bought and held faithfully through all this crap? We've been over this a thousand times and many of us are getting a Masters degree trying to follow the Merchant's maneuvers.
Woody, dangling limp over his E-trade account balance.
Bulldog
Richie said it best. The price will go up when Yaacov is good and ready for the price to go up. Not until.
Respectfully,
Woody, hangin till the rope breaks.
Thank you lilchoker. Arne has done his best.
We cannot expect that this can rise from the ash of .0001'
I've not seen a stock ever do that on the Pinks. NEVER. I have lost over 10K in this venture, believing that it was going to take Las Vegas by storm. And signage is takin LV by storm but it's not Ariel Way that's doing it. Knoxville, TN is being stormed by digital signage but it's by LAMAR advertizing and not Ariel way. I don't know what happened here? It's not just a financing problem. If I had a few million to invest I'd like to find out and tell you guys what really happend and maybe string a few criminals up on ropes. But that isn't going to happen. Wish it could (played the lottery tonight).
Best to all of you in Ariel Way. The fact that we haven't heard in a long time is a good indication that we won't, that this is finished, and that we should drive to Washington, DC to ferret out this ARNE that would like to talk to us, SUDDENLY.
One last thing. ARNE....money isn't cheap, my friend. If you think that we buy shares of this company with Obama dollars then you can kiss my 'work clock.' Nobody is giving you money that you can 'blow.' It costs us with our lives and our pensions.
With that in mind you had better read the economic environment and be sensitive to the requests to be forth coming in your dealings with shareholders.
TIA
P
Hi, Richie and everybody.
I think Richie has hit the nail on the head here. Identa won't move till Yaacov decides it should. That's the last word on this company and it's a good litmus for all of us. Things are happening and there are good reports but the stock price won't move till Yaacov is darn ready for it to do so. End of story.
Unlike Richie, I still have all my shares and will hold.
Woody.
.001 would be a whale of a relief. .0001 would be a
disaster. But an opportunity to buy up a bunch of Ariel Way cheap.
Woody.
lilchoker, he might have thought he could have found financing with the acquisitions. I've taken risks like this and failed. It's tough out there right now and credit is very difficult to acquire. I don't think Arne could have crystal balled any of this and it might be what's weighing heavily on us right now. On the other hand this could turn around on a dime.
If they owned shares they would care. As they are as strapped as Yaacov (living off plastic) they would only shrug and say, Mazaltov. Of course, it would make Yaacov a bit nervous that someone with shares actually lived in Israel and cared and might sit outside the factory and hound him. I would be nervous. Of course, having lost as much as I have I could do it and actually would wish Yaacov would be nervous. this is not a game, it is an investment with real money at stake and people put their real money into his dream. We dreamed with him. We thought he was honest and we believe he would always talk straight since he's got a wonderful product and is really a bonifide company with such great potential. The years have proven to be filled with lies and deceits from our chief executive. There is no explanation for this at all. None. We should be in the several cents if not .25 by now.
He's mystified by his PPS, he says. I don't think he is. I think he knows full well why the PPS is so low. I think he doesn't care at all (buy back a bust with no figures). He'll just issue some more worthless paper to the inventor and himself, raise the OS. I'd like to sit down with his kids and find out what kind of father he's been? It would tell me a lot as we, as shareholders, are a kind of children of his. Wow. Yaacov, I hope you didn't treat your own dear children like this. In America they would be taken away from you. We might be, yet. What irony.
Mike, that 100% looks sooooo good I laughed out loud. Those men in the white coats are coming to take me away, haha,hoho,heehee. I'm drooling on my computer keys, hehheh. What can we do?
Woody.
AMEN. But I did like the glimmer of hope that .0002 could become .25. The dream dies hard doesn't it?
Woodrow
I would welcome it, Johnnyvits, and so would my ROTH ira where my Identa will reside till I retire. Don't want to pave any parking lots with the broken dreams Yaacov filled my head with.
Woody.
Would be a gratifying idea to see Yaacov behind bars BUT
he was the police of the prison system itself so there is not much chance of that. What he's done to his own inventor is much more sinister and nasty than his prison system could do or devise. If the inventor doesn't strangle the dog (yaacov) then no one can or will.
Listen, I was in the man's corner till he started lying to me. (Yaacov, I might come over to the factory and picket tomorrow.) Picket? Do you know what that is? Never heard of it? It has most effect in Israel. This is chicago back in the '30's. Picket? The poor man will be traumatized and have to come out and defend Identa. Anybody want me to sit outside his factory with a sign? Tell me what to put on it and I will and I will sit there for us, the shareholders. Tell me.
Influence? Heck, Yaacov was a policeman. He knows about the power of the 'sign.'
And I agree with you BUT
I've spoken with him for an hour on the phone here in Israel and I found him to be sincere and credible and really believing in the whole paradigm of IDENTA. It is hard for me to disparage him as I've talk with him and believed him. BUT the share price would speak otherwise and it's not just a little jolt but a catastrophy. If it were my company and I were Yaacov I would put my house, my family, my god, and my trinkets up for sale to make sure that my PPS did not slide into hell. (Some gods do that...put up a whale of a lot to make sure their stock does not slide into hell, BUT that is another story that Yaacov does not know) We are dealing with a man that does not care that his stock and shareholders are going into hell. Therefore, I believe, finally, that Yaacov either does not understand the financial markets OR he is an absolute devil and will eat the dust of the earth (our bones). Prove us wrong, Yaacov. You know in the Bible Yaacov was a stubborn, prideful man just like Yaacov. Hmmmm. History repeating itself? I think so. It's a theme that will be repeated here.
Woody.
WOW, it's over.
I've never ever seen a company come back from such a bath. It's over.
Regrets? Well, I think Yaacov let his stinking pride get in the way of good sense. Pride cometh before a fall and look how far we've fallen? Wow. I can't believe it's finally here. And 'the evil that men do lives after them, the good is oft inter'd with their bones." Poor little inventor's holding a bunch of worthless paper, hehheh. Funny that Yaacov kept issuing paper to the poor guy even while he could see the stock fluttering in its downward spiral. Wonder what he's thinking? If he can read I hope he realizes that his hard work is worthless because Yaacov proudly refused to embark on transparency and save the company from this disaster.
I'm still in shock that he could do this. Who needs numbers now? He might as well keep them to himself for all the good it will do now. I've never seen a stock come back from such a PPS. Never. They go from here to becoming parking lots with new names.
Well, folks, it's been a ride... all down hill, hehhhehhehheh.
Woody,
in death throws as his rope tightens around his neck for the last time.
Great Post.
Buying down is not popular and is most dangerous. I do it on a few and this is one that I've chosen to follow to the bottom and back. Please don't ever listen to me or anybody else when making decisions. When anybody asks you to do your own DD ask them what they mean? In this case you have to read all the old PR's and look at the charts and read ALL the BB messages and THEN call the company. It's not easy to get appropriate answers but I can tell you that the PPS is a huge indicator and one that the CEO had better be prepared to answer. Reason: he knows that PPS is important. He knows he can sell into it or buy it back and it's his duty to shore it up for us folks that have invested our hard earned money in his hopes and dreams as well as our own.
Best to all longs, as always. We are rising.
IR...it's not important,it's OK, and thanks, as long as we look forward and agree that the horizon sees a rising sun, not a setting sun.
Woody.
I'm with YOU, lilchoker. I'm holding on tight. eom.
Well, IR doesn't help does he/she... .007 and going south. What is the point of having direct contact and paying for the cell phone to the top if it gives you cancer of the brain? We got cancer and it's going to kill us. Good luck all who sit and wait. They will blame the economic climate and Helicopter Bob and Smith Barney and a host of devils but it will all come crashing down to one person, the CEO. And he probably has a huge parachute like all the other CEOs out there that are parachuting to the Hamptons. It's not an evil, IR. I don't really care. I just want the PPS to go UP. It could if the company paid a bit of attention to it. There a many ways of doing it. I could think of three right off. Want to know them or can you fill in the blanks? You're getting paid to do so. THINK for us, OMG.
You are right, IR, and I apologize. eom.
PAMO, you have a good sense of humor. eom.
Very good post. PPS is important to a CEO
because he needs the PPS to raise money and expand. That's the whole reason for going public is to get the public to back the expansion with their money. It's off the backs of little people that the company rises to new heights.
I'm hanging on here and don't intend on going anywhere. I bought in at .009 and some above and have averaged down a bit. The product is awesome and Yaacov should be commended for his work. I will always support and be positive on the product BUT there is no excuse for the lack of personal integrity of the CEO.
If it's a misunderstanding then it can never be that we, the shareholders, are the misunderstood. We are dependent on the CEO to forward information to us and if he finds himself in a desperate situation with us it's because HE has not been forward, not us. We depend on him. He should not get sore at our aggitation over PPS and become silent and dispondant. He's our only advocate. He's our Identa god. He might understand that religious conotation?
Thank you so much Lilchoker. You keep my spirits high. eom.
lilchoker, we really need the CEO to have two or three fireside chats with us shareholders a week. I don't get it, the PPS is all he really should be concerned with because it is all that really indicates success or failure of a company. Speaking to shareholder concerns is primo. Speaking a lot, even failed attempts and diversions, gives shareholders a feeling that they are incorporated in the process (the MASON acquisition?). I am feeling a bit outside the loop and this is a concern and a danger for Arne if it persists and broadens with other shareholders. CEO's get so 'self-focused' and 'penthouse paranoid' that they forget what it's like in the trenches with the weary shareholder. JMHO
I would still like to see the DD page come up more often. I realize that it's a huge chore and I have applauded the posting in the past for the diligence and effort. It was lilchoker, yes? It was a gigantic positive.
Go longs and looking forward to carving out a nice slice of the digi-sign business.
Woody.
