What is the number for everyone of the TA so anyone can verify that? Info from IR's aren't usually the best place for company verifications down here in pinky land.
But the TA letting everyone know the share structure might be a good fact to have here, so posting the phone number for the TA and verified info from the TA would be a good thing.
One can go with that BNPD and other pinkys PR's are not "promos". LOL That's as good as the statement that was made that they can't put out anything but the truth in a PR. LOL
I see, I guess the public PR's are free, wow. I always thought that companies paid for them. LOL Also as stated before, "promos" as you stated come in all shapes and sizes, paid by the company BNPD directly, indirectly, or not.
As far as the company selling, if that is what you were referring to, not sure, but that is what buying a shell and going public is. Financing through shares, that part is not anything new.
And "paid" promos don't have to be proven, it's pretty much excepted that BNPD will be no different than any other company and have to pay for them. Along with many descriptions of what exactly "paid" is.
That prediction that has been repeated over and over hasn't yet come true. All the predictions that have been made of PR happening tomorrow, next week, etc, have just come and gone.
Sure, if it is stated every day (or several times a day) "PR coming tomorrow", sooner or later it probably will come true. BNPD should have a PR at some point, but the "prediction" to be "bet" with may not even have as good as 50/50. At least all the betting for the last BNPD predictions of "PR tomorrow" have lost. Timing not so good.
But like I said, sooner or later there should be some promotional backup with a paid PR for BNPD selling in to.
The older and wiser will be waiting to sell right before or right after the PR. And the newbies? Yep pretty silly.
I guess lunchtime wasn't so great. LOL
There is always other options than just feeding Pawson's pockets and paying his mortgage payments.
I hear the food banks are in dire need, maybe cancer research, just giving to the poor might be better option if one just wants to throw money away.
There is always thousands of other pinky pos that aren't quite so obvious and might have a better chance of return.
Pretty obvious of who "they" are, Pawson and gang have become one of the NO BID - .0001 stock kings. LOL
Predictions weren't too far off.
Especially NO BID pos with practically no volume if any volume at all. A horrific 15 BILLION share structure, debt ridden shell with no business, no product, no address, no contact for it.
This thing has got to be one of the worst opportunities for trading I've ever seen. One sure can't use a chart on this kind of thing, totally worthless, other than maybe a longer term chart showing the total pump and dump scam (SEC labeled) and going down to the complete dead horse of NO BID and inevitable R/S if it doesn't totally get shut down by the regulatory authorities first or stay in a dormant stage for another year.
Good way to loose following I guess, I'll have to just chalk it up as maybe a Saturday night oops or a little too fast of skimming over stocks. We all do that at some point, the key is catching ourselves. But there is no Humpty Dumpty hype to put this thing back together, the share structure and lack of liquidity alone will put an end to that.
Nothing to see here folks (nothing to play either).
I was just about to go back and add about the expense. That is part of the issue of difficulty. When the expense just gets too great, it just makes the total lack of ability or give reason to do it. Expense is always a big factor.
Like I said, I think that difficulty to get anything at all out of ones shares of BEHL is going to continue to get worse and lack of ability more prevalent.
I guess no hope for Penson to handle it then. LOL This will continue to have negative effect and I suspect that there will follow more brokers and/or clearing firms that will be making it tougher and tougher or quite impossible to sell ones holdings (little as they may be) especially with trip zero - NO BID stocks like BEHL.
One might think about getting out while the getting is not so good, because any "getting" just may become non existent real "soon".
Again let me refer you to this post, it's not that hard to understand.
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=64841861
I could also refer to all the other posts with all the issues and facts that one cares not to address or truly debate due to there is no real debate and only dirty shell BS and any positive spin on the ticker BEHL anyone could possibly attempt to give is, well, refer to that post given.
Some types and description of lies that can easily be recognized that the ones behind this ticker BEHL has done and/or continue doing.
Discussing the particulars of every instance (that are many) may be a waste of time. It is up to any prospective BEHL investor or trader to do that research for themselves. It can easily be done and any amount of common sense or intelligence can quickly see the myriad of BEHL lies.
To discuss with or point out to "longs" or "stuckholders" that already know, just refuse to see, or to any continued low life promotion/promoter is quite pointless.
Couple of articles on FINRA
Finra Executives Get Big Payday
BEN PROTESS, The New York Times On Friday July 1, 2011, 11:54 am EDT
Wall Street's self-policing organization is getting richer - and so are its top executives.
Richard G. Ketchum, chairman and chief executive of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, earned $2.6 million in 2010, according to a new filing. His pay, which included a $1.2 million bonus, was roughly the same in 2009.
Finra, a private nonprofit organization that regulates more than 600,000 stockbrokers, upped its total compensation 9 percent last year to $540 million, as it added some 200 new employees to its ranks. The organization's top 10 executives received nearly $13 million, up from roughly $11 million the year before, the organization's annual report shows.
Finra says it offers big paydays to compete with compensation on Wall Street.
"Finra strives to have a compensation structure that is competitive with the comparable segment of the market," Mr. Ketchum said in an interview earlier this year. "We have engaged an outside consultant, Mercer, that benchmarks salaries at Finra to make sure they are competitive with that market, but not excessive."
But some brokerage firms, which pay for the watchdog's operations through fees, have complained that Finra executives are overpaid. Regulators, they argue, should not earn millions of dollars.
Finra drew particular scrutiny after awarding a previous chief executive, Mary L. Schapiro, $7.3 million in 2009, when she left the organization to become chairwoman of the Securities and Exchange Commission. That same year, a small brokerage firm in Moreno Valley, Calif., sued Finra to rein in its pay packages at a time when the regulator was losing money on bad investments.
But Finra, born out of the 2007 merger between the National Association of Securities Dealers and the New York Stock Exchange's regulatory arm, is now back in the black. The organization turned a $54.6 million profit in 2010, up 12 percent from a year earlier, according to the annual report that was filed this week. Finra lost nearly $700 million at the height of the financial crisis, as its investment portfolio soured.
Now, Finra's investments and trading revenue are driving the recent earnings growth, according to the annual report. In the aftermath of the crisis, Finra shifted its investment portfolio to a lower-risk strategy, which includes mutual funds and hedge funds.
"Financially, 2010 was a sound year overall," Mr. Ketchum said in the report.

* Ketchum received $1 mln salary, $1.25 mln bonus in 2010
* Eight of top 10 officers each received more than $1 mln (Adds detail on salary, bonuses; notes Ketchum joined FINRA in March 2009)
By Joseph A. Giannone
NEW YORK, June 30 (Reuters) - Leading brokerage industry watchdog FINRA may not have the same global cachet as running the Securities and Exchange Commission, but it generates a much, much bigger paycheck.
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority more than doubled the salary, bonus and other compensation paid to Chief Executive Richard Ketchum last year to $2.6 million, according to its annual report posted to its website on Wednesday.
Ketchum, who joined FINRA in March 2009, received $1.01 million in total compensation but no bonus that year.
Ketchum received $1 million in salary, a $1.25 million bonus and nearly $350,000 in deferred pay and other benefits last year for policing the country's securities firms and brokers.
The report also shows the former NYSE and Citigroup (C.N) executive received a $1.2 million bonus in February and is on pace to earn $1 million of salary in 2011.
FINRA bonuses are paid after the end of the year, based on performance for the previous year.
Ketchum's predecessor, Mary Schapiro, by comparison earned $165,000 last year as chairman of the SEC, which has nearly 4,000 staff and spent $755 million on salaries and expenses.
FINRA is organized as a private company, but supports the SEC by regulating securities firms and market activity. Though not a household name, FINRA is a big-time company with $1.15 billion in total revenue and 3,000 employees watching some 4,600 broker-dealer firms.
Unlike the SEC, which depends on Congress for funding, FINRA funds itself with fees, fines, investments and other revenue. As a result, it can be more generous: eight of FINRA's 10 top-paid executives received more than $1 million in salary, bonus and other compensation.
Overall compensation and benefits rose more than 9 percent last year to $540.3 million, reflecting a net increase of 200 employees. Pay for the 10 officers last year was on par with compensation for 2009.
FINRA's annual report also revealed a decline in fines assessed to $42.2 million from $47.6 million in 2009. Last year FINRA issued 1,310 new disciplinary actions, expelled 14 firms and ordered $6.2 million in restitution.
Compensation for FINRA's top officers is a sore topic among some small brokerage firms, many of which are still convinced Schapiro in 2007 short changed members when the NASD merged with NYSE Regulation to form FINRA. Schapiro, who left to lead the SEC in 2009, received $9 million for her work in 2008.
The annual report also revealed that FINRA's $1.6 billion investment portfolio generated a 6.9 percent return and contributed $50.1 million of income last year. FINRA's investments had lost nearly $500 million in 2008, prompting the company to reel in risk-taking. (Reporting by Joseph A. Giannone; editing by Matthew Lewis, Bernard Orr)

ROFL. PR's that are made up and misleading run rampant on the pinks. Whether or not BNPD will have them or did have them might be up for debate, but the fact is that misleading and/or made up PR's are very plentiful and I would say most are either at the very least misleading or just plain made up.
Interesting response on the Big Apple board.
What I've heard today is all talk with BNPD. Still in the waiting to see mode.
Interesting. Yours might be more interesting than the one your responding to.
It's still all just talk at this point, the refreshing part still remains to be seen.
Well it really shouldn't be too much to audit the last financial of zero assets and zero cash. It was a pretty minimal financial to do. To continue with auditing is another story plus it will be interesting to see how the cleaning of the bought shell is doing.
Name changes are way too many times a dead issue and no effect to the pps in the pinky world, at least for even medium to long term. Maybe fodder for hype like BNPD, and might create a spike, but so what if there is different letters. Doesn't mean much to me by itself.
Like I said, too many times pinkies go through "name changes" with talk of "up-listing" and "auditing" that never come to pass for their shell and all it does is get abundance of talk and thats it.
The problem I see is that usually when the hype is at it's max and the promotion is at full force, thats when to be most cautious.
Only problem is that it will take many, many C Notes like to the tune of $10K at a time (many times) to chip away at the debt and just a step toward any viability of trading the thing.
A few hundred bucks or even a few thousand is kind of like pulling ones keys out to shake in front of a new grandchild. Sometimes it gets a smile, but many times it just gets dis-interest or even crying.
BEHL was never "close" to a finished product that worked or was worth even "close" to what the hype and sales pitch was trying to state. The system never produced or proved to be viable other than having nothing but problems and expenses that overtook any chance of profitability.
R&D and shareholders funds that were required to even step in any right direction for the failed company and NO BID ticker were just squandered by Fisher, Pawson and group, promoters, etc.
Just ended up recycled and garbage plastic, plastic and material that only has a limited life expectancy for any use, and life expectancy diminishes whether it just sits stacked in a barn at DVJ or gets used in some way. That goes with electrical circuitry as well.
But the "system" never got close to any real finished producing product. Just a bunch of hype to dilute and sell shares with and scam people that bought the idea or behlieved.
Yeah, all those big blobs of bold would be hard to live without. LOL
I'll miss them like I would miss an immoral car sales person that just puts more balloons and bigger signs on a junk used car to hide the fact that the car won't make it through the next week off the lot.
What a concept, a penny market that actually was for real start up companies that really did want to do more business than just selling shares and couldn't just make up or PR anything that is so blatantly BS and phony.
R/S makes them even less worth. So whatever anyone owns in value, it will be less than that value when this thing R/S. That's if any shareholder can even unload with a NO BID status or compete with the ticker dumping.
But the reason that there is any BS promotion at all is to hopefully talk anyone out of competing with the few shares being sold for the debt dumping and for the benefit of the ones behind this dirty shell and/or promotion.
But R/S will make this BEHL ticker NO BID - .0001 stock even less worth and value. One might have a couple of hundred bucks in it, but that will turn into just a couple of bucks costing more to get rid of it than it's worth after the R/S.
Maxed out 15 BILLION A/S doesn't leave any retail shareholder anything positive to look forward too.
BEHL has no business, nothing but a debt ridden ticker and a NO BID status. Statements that BEHL is anything but a NO BID worthless ticker with a way too large A/S and nothing in the future cannot be considered valid for proof has already been overwhelmingly that it is nothing but a garbage ticker and a scam with maybe another pump to dump more shares by Pawson and gang.
Facts and proof is in abundance to most (obvious by the NO BID) that this ticker just continues to be another Pawson backed debt dumping, share selling ticker.
They can't even come up with a valid financials. Numbers don't add up, copy and paste from other companies webpages that have nothing to do with BEHL, and thats when they even bother to write up phony financials. All there is are desperate promotional tactics to try to gain more debt dumping by the shell.
Wrong, Pawson and gang have everything to do with it. Along with phony promotional tactics.
The smoke has cleared and it is clear as a bell to most that Pawson and gang are the main profiteers of this shell. Along with low life promoters and the ones who dept dump this ticker with no business, no product, nothing but a R/S and legal problems in the works.
THERE IS NO NEW TEAM. Same old debt, same old Pawson and gang, and just false statements that there is any business, any product. And again just false statements of blame with the FACTS that nothing was as the low life promotion of BEHL tries to state or promote.
This ticker is a SCAM, proven by the SEC. Continues to be a scam by trying to blame others while omitting the true reasons for failure. Company is just producing garbage shares with Pawson and gang still at the helm and trying to debt dump and failing even at that.
Lies by promotional means aren't going to save the ticker. It will R/S if not shut down by the SEC first. It's just a NO BID STOCK with a bloated A/S needing more debt dumping. FACTS
Not worth anything to even trade or invest in. Just a ticker that has done nothing but blame other things or other people for years (because that is all there is to do) while all along just increasing the A/S and scamming shareholders.
There goes that always wrong, bad advice stock tips again. Now this scam has gone so low as to solicit $100 trades. What a joke.
The fact is that each person can take what ever they want to out of any financial. And thats fine, everyones right. I like giving credit when credit is due, which is what I did. Can't say the BB is always right, noone is, but he does have a pretty good understanding and ability to explain and most of the time, BB is pretty accurate and does it without any hype or alternative motive.
But, pinkys trade mostly on hype or momo and 99.999% of them never are anything for any "long investing". Now BNPD has had couple of good trades, haven't minded a bit. Will they have some more, maybe, just have to wait and see.
I'm not sure all the debate though is helping and I don't see all of the attempts for momo succeeding that well right now. Will BNPD be a "real" company and be the .001%? The odds are against that. But "real" companies don't for the most part go pink, but do involve all the "buycharts", "must be shorting" "trying to get the cheapies", the "dilution isn't that bad" "this is a real company" chit chat.
We'll see what happens. I don't think this one financial that there is so much hoopla about will make or break BNPD. But as always, I suggest caution to anyone going on strictly emotion or following the hype. Too many times when there is the most hype (or "chit chat"), the selling is at it's worse either by the company (directly or indirectly), or selling by the ones who are trying to promote it the worst, or just plain retail tired of it and going elsewhere with the money.
Good luck to all with this "oil play".
It's good too have someone like BB that can have the knowledge and ability to correctly explain BNPD filings even though it's sometimes hilarious that there will always be someone who will never learn to read or understand the concepts.
But most will use BigBake's explanations and proof, so it's good to appreciate the time BB takes to do it and ones who already understand, it's just confirmation. Of course BNPD is a typical pink, and have the typical fools and foolish hype that really has nothing to do with any actual filings or numbers.
Dilution is always the way of finance for the color pink, and it's going to be interesting how much more is going to happen for the amount that is done is always one of the main factors. Why there will always be some attempt to minimize what BNPD does.
Remember in the pinky world, "dilution is a good thing" and "they really aren't doing very much". Sarcasm there of course, but one always sees some sort of form of those statements and there will be always ones who will try to state them emphatically and try to explain them to be true.
Life is such in the BNPD pinky world. All the debate is about 17% down on the pps today.
Whatever. Again good luck and make up whatever numbers pleases one.
With BNPD, I see more evidence of hype than disgruntled shareholders. Hype happens even more in pennyland, and BNPD is right along with that.
Of course there will be realist and ones who actually look at numbers that will be classified as "disgruntled" by the "hype", but that's to be expected.
Yes they do, we can go on all day I guess, but good luck with the hype. Don't want to do silly arguments or debate. Has nothing to do with any "house falling down" or staying up. Numbers are just numbers and this is just another pinky. I don't suggest anyone to be getting emotional about it. Emotions are not good accounting.
I haven't seen too much evidence of disgruntled shareholders. Some trying to make more out of it than what a starting company with no cash, no assets, and having to dilute to finance operations is, but it just a pinky, and the hype is always common in pennyland.
Dilution is just the way it goes, can't really put too much spin on it other than just make up silly arguments and maybe make believe that there is less dilution than what it is. Like I stated before no big deal, it is what it is.
