I agree, some updating would be helpful, especially in the goal-oriented category, which they talked about in December 2010, as you recall...would like to hear them reiterate their ambitions as opposed to describe the functionality, for example, we have been inundated with "progress reports" of tiny incremental steps which is always encouraging but doesn't set anyone's imaginations spinning, in my opinion. Vision is key. Even though it is an ever-evoling field with a lot of unknowns, unforeseen demands, twists, turns, etc., there must be a driving vision of where they want to go this year, next year, and 5 years down the road...I mean...beyond looking out for a paycheck for 3 people. Not tyring to be cynical or overly rational, just think that the vision of this company needs more clarity, especially as a result of changing conditions.
Hi Storm - thanks for the information, encouraging. I was wondering if you are aware of a mission statement by the company? Thanks.
Thanks Storm. It seems to fly in the face of logic that the company would put out so much positive news and the officers then dump ten million shares immediately thereafter. Will look forward to clarity.
Good work. Nice presentation. Thanks for sharing.
Nice Storm. I gave it a thumbs up. I noticed that Oprah Winfrey also gave it a thumbs up, guess she is keeping up with E. Tolle, maybe ordering his apps from i-mobilize?
Storm - always appreciate your nicely presented summaries of blogs, etc. I continue to believe in the direction the company is establishing for itself. Wealth is neither built nor maintained by a sudden, stunning event that eclipses all others. It can be a jumpstart but certainly not the alpha/omega of business strategies with an ongoing/forward-looking vision. There is a drone of impatience on the boards, intermingled with facts and opinions. It is a good mix, keeping minds alert and complacency at a minimum. Expectations are a good thing, disappointments are not. One must be able to distinguish the two and not allow expectations to turn into disappointments prematurely. Having served on a board of directors for 15 years or so, I know how slowly growth can appear but also know that slow, and steady growth builds wealth in time. The important thing to consider is HOW it builds wealth, what is the unique dynamic that propels it? Unique ideas or strategies and intellectual property, such as patents, are certain assets and cogs in the wheel of dynamic action. Also, as patents attest to, timing of the implementation of a strategy or idea is tantamount to overall success. So what unique dynamic is at play with Metatron, that is, the business model that we are privy to? In my humble opinion, timing has been and is still on their side; having had the creativity to capitalize on the foresight to envision an app world is certainly setting them apart from the typical expectations of a penny stock. Secondly, volume of products available for sale in a limited timeframe is very important,even if it does not include a rare Michael Jackson release, but that too would be welcome, of course. Wealth is eventually made/sustained in volume. That is the strategy that I see developing, but I also think the overall strategy has more than one thrust, too. I harken back to Dec. 2009 when the company released its mantra about wanting to become the Walmart of digital media distribution, or something to that effect, as I recall. I DO think that the company understands that wealth can be made in volume of slowly evolving, increasing sales, but I also think their vision is even shrewder than that, as well. We have seen a number of niches created, travel, hypnotherapy, self-help gurus, etc. Niching, staking out the distribution of genres of interest, especially ones that do not go out of fashion is very savvy, in my opinion and will eventually reap significant returns. The bemoaning, groaning, impatience does not augment anything other than personal agendas that are obscure and limited. The company is not pandering to placating self-serving impatience, and it mustn't be sidetracked in that manner. When I was a boy, my parents lived nextdoor to a retired stockbroker who had seen the depression era. He said to me more than once, "the stockmarket separates the men from the boys."
Someone posted the info on here yesterday
Yes, Snowy, it makes one wonder. I have noticed or perhaps just my perception somehow that during the past year whenever the company has a very positive but not earth-shattering blog that there is a one-two punch, that is, first bashers come out and then the manipulators follow up, so that the sum total result is that nothing happens to the share price and only frustration takes hold on the part of hopeful investors. Something makes me think it is thought out and orchestrated. Maybe the company sees this happening as well, just perhaps? Also, if the management is wanting to sell off 20,000,000 shares, as pointed out earlier on the board today, it would be reasonable to think it would happen under opportune circumstances. It would seem strategic therefore, to bundle the good news so that it overwhelms the bashers and manipulators. It will be interesting to see if a bundle is forthcoming and it is followed by a very large volume as those shares are consequently liquidated. Just speculation on my part, of course, but it wouldn't surprise me to see something of the sort. 40% revenue increases in 60 day spans would seem noteworthy. Something has to give.
I am not sure that the management is waiting for anything but increased sales. Last year, following the "game changing news" disappointment, the company seemed to become timid. I think that they do not want to create an atmosphere of disappointment. Notice the low trading volumes the past couple months. That alone is a message, in my opinion. I have heard that low trading volumes more easily facilitate manipulation. Perhaps that is happening, it is impossible to really know. I commend the company for taking a more businesslike approach by giving us blog updates of what they are producing. I think a product is a statement in itself. I would rather hear about product updates than potential prospects any day. The company has a lot of rights to products it can market. It is adding more and more to the marketplace. Keep in mind that the marketplace is in its infancy still. Millions of people are clamoring to get i-pads and i-phones and similar devices because they see the magic in them from their friends and associates who are using them. Yet, getting a new gadget requires time and money to learn all the possibities for its use. Too, we have been in a worldwide recession for some time and people are timid about their spending right now, but that might change in a year or so if economies improve. Too, I don't think the learning curve has been fully explored by any means. When all those millions of new users worldwide get more proficient at using their devices and more comfortable with them, making the transition from pcs, then I believe that the app market will explode as no one foresees. Just my belief. I think that Metatron's business goal of becoming the Walmart of digital media distribution has very real possibilities and that is the reason they are pumping out their product right now with such impressive acceleration. I look forward to more blogs.
I think it must have been in October when the company announced via the blog that reality TV stars were blogging about Metatron on Facebook, in conjunction with that was mention that more promotional events were to be forthcoming. Haven't heard anymore on that, maybe it all takes more time and energy than anticipated?
Are #19 & #21 the same(Feb 3rd)?
Agreed! Those are the most salient power points that we presently awaiting on resolution/implementation. It is encouraging to note that the blog continues to state "New Subscription App Contract Signed with Eckhart Tolle Teachings". Surely a contract included completion dates. It's a matter of time.
I think the company is sincere about its developments but it is taking longer than expected. They had blogged 3-4 months ago that they had hundreds of apps waiting in the queue. Suddenly, it seems, the apps are rolling out the past month. I think the subscription app for Eckert Tolle is a definite. Can't imagine that his enterprise would accept otherwise. I am guessing that the approval of the subscription app is holding things up right now, but who knows?
More production = more overall visibility = credible perception. Thank Storms for the encouraging news
Storm - thanks for encouraging the company to "think big". Thinking small will not get to big, thinking smart might. The big picture is what you keep focus on, that is very important to see and appreciated.
Keep dreaming! Sometimes they come true. Good luck.
Perhaps they will make us wait and not give everything away ahead of time like last year.
Your points are reasonable and have certainly crossed the minds of others, as well. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the matter. It has gotten me to think further on the matter and formulate a response.
As for the the record revenue day, I think it is a ambiguous as to whether or not that has occurred. If it has not, I am wondering perhaps it has something to do with the increase in apps available, their relative content and another thing I have observed in recent months. I have many friends and relatives now with iphones and ipads. I have mentioned imobilize to all of them and encouraged them to check into their apps. In all cases I have encountered, these individuals were ONLY interested in finding FREE apps that they could download that were of any interest to them. So in my opinion, FREE is trumping people's interest paid apps, which would lead one to think that the paid app providers will have to market much more aggressively than the free app providers. That is the first point I want to make.
As for the apparent "delay" in the roll out of the video/audio app. A few months ago we were all grumbling about the impasse and apparent stonewalling in approval of apps. The company blogged that it has quite a few "in the queue" and then nothing seemed to happen for a LONG time. Suddenly sometime later in December to my recollection the "dam broke" and the apps have been flooding out ever since, as Storm so kindly posts each day for us to see. Meanwhile, as these apps roll out, there seems to be a "delay" in the long-anticipated video/audio "super" app. It just might be the case that the company is basically done with its work on this and once it reached that point they were able to start putting the time into getting all this backlogged material onto Android. I have wondered, too, if Apple saw us loading apps onto Android so some how got our apps back into the approval process? But that is an aside to ponder. For now, I think that the company is doing as many have speculated, making the best use of its limited resources. I suspect as Storm posted today, that the video/audio app is being tested and is probably not far from the brink of release, hope so anyhow. If there were a serious problem with this app then I do not believe that we would be seeing so much of the company's attention going into getting less important apps onto Android right now, especially in lieu of the possibility that maybe that is not boosting revenues in any dramatic way, yet anyhow.
I recall people speculating that the company was not upfront on the "apps in the queue" comment some months ago, and then suddenly the onslaught came. So, I believe in what the company says and that it follows through, maybe not without some growing pains.
As a share owner since December 2009, I think that I have a much more solid, realistic, and hopeful investment now than when I first jumped in. It has been a rollercoaster ride, yes, but too, the company has survived a great recession and is growing and positioning itself advantageously for the return of a more robust economy, which I believe is coming, if not inevitable in another year or so.
Additionally, I will add that I have communicated with the company for two years in many emails to IR both making inquiries and suggesting ideas. In nearly every instance, it was followed up with a reply. I believe that given their resources, this little company is doing a good job. I have been on the BOD of a small company for 15 years. It is enormously challenging at times but can be very rewarding to persevere. Good luck to all.
Nice Christmas present! *<]>
Remon - you always have good things to share, thank you. I agree that an investment here is best thought of as a long-range prospect. I have been here for 2 years. It has been a slow but steady advance, with some expected growing pains. However, on the other side of the coin, are those who look at this as a short term play, perhaps they look at everything in life in the short term, everyone is different. I think that today we see the energies of the short term players at work. Perhaps they have doubled their money in a month and are getting out, perhaps they never look at this as investing but think of it more like gambling, that is okay. Only so many are going to make a profit that way and it will not come as a surprise, just calculated, in and out. These players are not infinite, eventually good earnings and business plan execution will far outweigh. I can wait another two years. I am excited about the things we do not know about yet. Will be fun to see them unfold, and when they do, I will be glad that I hung onto my shares.
Stormking, many thanks...clears up my confusion and adds enhanced appreciation for what Metatron is doing with its resources.
Stormking, I am unclear about the "upgraded" apps. Maybe I have not paid close enough attention, could you clarify, please? Are they apps that were already available for ipad or were they formerly available ONLY for iphone and have now been upgraded/enhanced so that they are available now BOTH for use on iphone and now ipad, too? Otherswise, were they available for both iphone and ipad but they have just now had more content added to them? I would appreciate your insight. Thanks.
Inclined to agree, especially since the action began on a Monday morning without news, seems deliberate and preconceived.
The company posted a blog not too long ago indicating that there was going to be a sweepstakes or contest promotion, something of that nature to attract interest...am looking forward to seeing what that turns out to be. Perhaps it will be linked to Facebook? Any guesses???
Tolle is a man of vision and reach, and he has stuck with MRNJ. Need one say more?
Storm...Thanks for underscoring that 52% of sales from Q3 were outside the U.S.
Storm, you are comparing this year's Q3 to last years Q2, did you mean last year's Q2? I presume that you did, but not certain. Thanks.
New press release today, link to new client included
Storm...EXCELLENT summary...good to revisit the wording of the Metatron blog entry last June on the status of the Michael Jackson app...in retrospect, sounds like a lawyer wrote it.
Victoria came on board in early 2010.
Checked the link, thanks. Looks promising. Like the fact that familiar names are involved...networking...effective promotion. Like others here, am looking forward to a blog on revenues.
Why?
Sailgirl - the quote is to the effect, "...repeatedly issues a massive amount of shares into the market for no reason..." It is my opinion that MRNJ diluted for substantial reasons, such as in exchange for content deals or for necessary working capital for operations.
Your comment mentions that the scammers "release massive amounts of stock for no reason..." That is why your comment is not valid here.
Thanks Stormking for the nice summary.
Thanks, found it on "metatron news". New rental app sounds promising. Hope Apple will make a speedy approval on it. Many irons in the fire.
Link to the news, please, did not find it on their website. Thanks
Very reassuring blog. Thanks for sharing.
Regarding the "trade secrets" I had emailed Victoria more than a year ago regarding the ongoing talk about a "patent pending" and she replied that it was a strategy to keep the patent pending going as long as possible because when the patent is issued it allows others to read it and glean from it. I just hope that it is not a rationale/mindset that will have us still talking about the launch of the app store in a year or so. By the way, do you need to add "patent pending" to your list of things going for MRNJ?
Should the Michael Jackson app be mentioned any longer do you think?
