Thanks to you too Floatable for some valuable contributions! I wasn't trying to pat myself on the back, rather hoping anyone outside looking in would pay attention to the last part of my message and read between the lines :)
Good luck to you Float!
Go RFMK!

I was thinking the same thing. It would be great to see product on shelves prior to March 30th so as not to cut it down to the wire. But then again, I've thought maybe they're sandbagging in order to get as much of everything else completed so when they issue the launch PR, it will have many things to talk about instead of just Cannacig on shelves.
I have many contributions to the RFMK board here because I have a large position in RFMK. Take a look at my post history on the RFMK board. I wonder what conclusion I would come to if I did the same thing to "others" and saw mainly RFMK board contributions? Hmmm...
Go RFMK!
Rec
Glad you saw the " " around my choice of words. I'll take "paint jobs" like the one from today at the close any and every day of the week!
Go RFMK!
Rec
RFMK up over 12% today! Strong buys, especially the 2 million "paint job" at the end of the day.
If they don't put product on shelves by the end of the month, a bad trading day will be an understatement! Until then, there are too many investors holding tight. It will get harder and harder to buy at any low levels as each day in March ticks away. RFMK has stated that they are on track for product launch by the end of this month. I have no reason to doubt this after everything that's happened in the last couple months.
Late last night there was a statement made admitting compensation for providing negative comments on the RFMK board. Call it a late night confession when there were very few eyes watching, knowing the words would soon be erased, which they were. Some eyes saw them though. Keep that in mind when reading negative outlooks that appear to be unsupported.
Thanks to everyone who has continued providing positive commentary supported by great due diligence. This could be a very exciting week!
Go RFMK!

Well done Z! Wish I could join in the buying. I'm in as much as I can be for now. I'm looking for RFMK another news release or update very soon. Glad you were able to pick up a few million more shares today.

Z06 MAN - a big RFMK hello, nice seeing you here. PR from last Friday followed by the shareholder update was great! Do you know anything about the funding? Feel free to PM or get in touch with me.
Go RFMK!

;) will definitely check in later, Go RFMK!
Read these RFMK posts and combine them with the most recent update and PR. A pretty powerful 1, 2, 3, and 4 punch! I'm ready for this "knockout"! Or should I say "knock out" of the park!
Post # 50191
Tom Allinder RFMK CEO is steadfastly against dilution!
This quote below from March 16th, 2012 PR that is a sticky note:
Mattbang, I'll back you up on both statements. RFMK trade for trade! I guess L man and D's dad bring new meaning to trade for trade here at RFMK.
RIP L and D.
Go RFMK!

Direct answers from RFMK addressed!
If you have any of these below questions, please read the shareholder update from Tom Allinder the CEO of RFMK. The update is a sticky note.
Why the recent change of management positions?
Who's who now, and what is their responsibility moving forward?
How will long term funding be handled?
Will there be dilution? Actually, see March 16 PR for that answer...
Will RFMK bring other members to the team?
Can Mike Amezquita (former CEO still with company) sell his shares?
Is the new Cannacig still on track to be released this month (March 2012)?
What about trademarks and patents?
Feel free to add other questions. These are just some that were addressed and answered. Interpret how you please.

Update to Shareholders 18 March 2012
admin | March 19, 2012
Here is an update for shareholders of Rapid Fire Marketing regarding information surrounding the change in CEO announced Friday after the market closed along with questions we wish to address from our shareholders.
We have a tremendous opportunity to grow Rapid Fire Marketing with the Vapor Inhaler and models like the CannaCig along with follow-on products.
Mike is the creator of the CannaCig. It was his work on the project, along with Otherside Health Management and Judah Ray’s advice, that brought us onto our current path that leads to our own device for the marketplace. Mike and I have been discussing my taking over of the title and responsibilities of CEO for some time now. I have a strong business background and time tested knowledge of the nuts and bolts behind publicly traded companies and the worldwide marketplace.
I started off in the 90s as an investor in small companies. I continued to invest and learn a great deal about how companies are run at the micro cap level. I have had many successes as an investor and of coarse failures as well. But, what I learned from those failures, along with watching many others try and fail, has been valuable in ensuring undaunted future success.
My expertise with businesses in the marketplace, plus in depth knowledge of shareholder’s feelings through investor relations, is why we decided to make the change. This now frees Mike up to do what he is best at; innovating, creating and developing new products. With Mike focusing on R&D, Judah Ray on top of distribution of products, and me to ensure the best results are made for the Company we all feel this is the best formula for success.
As mentioned in the news release from Friday, my first objective is to get solid funding into the Company to provide the capital required to push production runs past the current level we set when this endeavor first began. Requests to carry the device are larger then we first anticipated and we aim to have the resources to meet that demand.
For over a decade I have watched micro cap companies subsist on short term funding. Short term funding easily kills the value of a stock in the marketplace and usually only provides the Company with enough funds to run for a few months. Short term funding makes no sense to me. The type of funding I am in negotiations for is a long-term investment by an entity which can help the Company grow to the size our demand is requiring us to be. We seek an investment for the Company without resorting to an entity that requires free trading shares they will just turn and blow out into the marketplace.
Some of the funding sources I am in discussions with also provide other services to help companies grow. I continue to pursue a final solution that will enable our Company to never rely on short term funding again… and we are working 7 days a week to make that happen.
For a long time now, RFMK has been a CEO and an “IR guy”. It is my desire to grow the company into a full management team and a board of directors. RFMK will look, act, and be run like a real company. This will not happen overnight though; it is going to be a process. Having strong revenues and profits will ensure success.
Shareholder Q&A:
The disposition of Mike’s stock:
Mike’s stock is restricted and terms on the stock only allow for the sale of 1% per quarter.
The CannaCig:
Our first Vapor Inhaler model, the CannaCig, is still on track for placement this month in California Dispensaries. When we first conceived of the CannaCig, we were essentially going to take what amounted to an electronic cigarette and make it burn hotter so that it would release THC. As we went on through the process we discovered ways to make the device better. We then decided that if we were going to put something on the market, we were going to put the best product out. Rather than rush a device into the public’s hands which was parallel or even subpar to anything on the market, we wanted to exceed expectations. We have made many modifications and upgrades to the device over the last few weeks and we now have our own prototype.
We are working with a development company with history in not only manufacturing new products from concept but has done so in this same industry for other vapor delivery devices. The staff is fully capable of developing our future prototypes along with the factories for manufacturing. When a timeline is set we will announce further details. The new device will have a patent and trademark. We will also trademark/patent all follow on devices. Even the future of knock offs has been addressed and we are sure it will not affect sales.
Last, the active agent itself cannot be trademarked or patented but the process for making the product is currently being reviewed to receive its patent. We are taking the time to over analyze every situation, to ensure we are proactive and not reactive, to the coming market for this new device.
In conclusion, our objective and aim is to develop the best device, distribute it properly to the masses worldwide, all while providing a lucrative and long lasting future for the Company and its shareholders.

RFMK has released a product before. Why doubt their ability to release their new Cannacig?
Go RFMK!

Actually, the saddest thing is there are people who are influenced too easily one way or the other! We're all guilty of it at some point in our trading days! Many RFMK investors who have watched everything unfold through the PR's over the last several months understand what has happened. The next two weeks will be the most telling for how longs will handle their current positions. In the meantime, I don't expect many here to change their mind about anything.
Lowman, you have some valid RFMK concerns, and I think you are very good at stating your negative views. However, with all due respect, you did state that you sold out of your position in RFMK.
Why is it that RFMK supporters always state they are long, or go RFMK, or KFG on their shares? But non supporters of RFMK never say they have no position in RFMK or state why they are here posting about RFMK?
Anyway, I guess it's still good to have a balance of both positive and negative RFMK views. If it all comes crumbling down, then I'll only blame myself. But for now I'm a supporter, so I'll end as usual. Go RFMK!
Rec
Personally, I'm happy to see Tom as RFMK's new CEO. I think he has a good understanding of the marketplace from both viewpoints (investors and company) to enable forward progess in a profitable way for everyone.
In the PR, Tom stated his energies are being focused on funding and keeping the timing of production on target. (maybe not those exact words, just going off of memory from what I read).
By the way, good to see you here Matty!
Go RFMK!
Rec
Let the RFMK house of cards come down where they may, but I'm confident the building of a new house has commenced using solid bricks!
It is clear that those who are long are set in their positions. Those who are negative will always find something to criticize and I guess that's part of the game. How does the saying go? Don't hate the players, hate the game. Good luck to you Kels.
Go RFMK!

Rapid Fire Marketing Announces Tom Allinder new CEO
PR Newswire
CARSON CITY, Nev., March 16, 2012
CARSON CITY, Nev., March 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Rapid Fire Marketing (Pink Sheets: RFMK) announced today that effective immediately, Tom Allinder is the new Chief Executive Officer of Rapid Fire Marketing. Mike Amezquita has resigned as CEO but will remain with the Company to continue development of the CannaCig and other businesses the Company is conducting. Tom Allinder brings 20 years of service in the U.S. Government and 15 years of experience at both the private and public company level.
"My first order of business is to get Rapid Fire Marketing's business plan completed and obtain a long term funding package for production, distribution and marketing of the CannaCig along with its follow-on products. I am steadfastly against dilution of our stock in the marketplace. I am working with several growth funders right now to bring this to fruition," said Tom Allinder, CEO of Rapid-Fire-Marketing.
"Most small companies fail because they react to needs rather than planning for them. Securing funding from a firm that will help us grow without flooding the marketplace with stock, while keeping production of our product on schedule, is where I will place my energy first. Due to the products concept and current stages we have multiple offers from a few diverse investment groups. We are carefully choosing the best options for our company and shareholders. Once we have something concrete worked out, we will announce the details," Allinder said.
"Mike Amezquita will remain with us to continue to help with the CannaCig. He has great technical knowledge and expertise within the medical cannabis industry and it was his idea and hard work to bring about the development of the CannaCig. We have worked well together and my taking over the CEO position will allow him to concentrate on innovating and developing new ideas which is his forte," said Allinder.
"Regarding progress on the CannaCig we are still on track but in the meantime, we have, in effect, created our own CannaCig which we intend to trademark and patent. The potential of acquiring long term significant funding will help us to do large distributions and marketing of the CannaCig, as well as follow on products, without killing our Company or Shareholders in the marketplace," Allinder concluded.
"I am very excited to be working with Tom as the new CEO. He is very dedicated to the Company, its shareholders, and most important the product, its proper development, and distribution. We have been brainstorming together for months now to ensure a device that will dominate the market and I believe the two of us can provide a lot of growth for this Company and its shareholders," said Judah Neiditch of Otherside Health Management.

RFMK with Tom Allinder:
I believe we have a CEO that has a true understanding of how the stock marketplace works from an investor's AND company's viewpoint that will ultimately enable both to shine!
If you know Tom Allinder's past from doing some due diligence on him, you will see that potentially we have a VERY STRONG new CEO!
No longer will Tom be sitting behind the scenes delivering communication for someone else, he will be the one delivering action.
In other words, I'm excited by this new development.
GO RFMK!!

And......case closed! Next up for RFMK? Well, me thinks good things. Why else would a little birdy come chirping around? Maybe to see what kind of excitement is brewing here on the boards.
Misery loves company, but so does excitement, and there's definitely summa that looming in the air tonight! Come on Mike and Tom, give us some news tomorrow!
Nice seeing ya Birdy.

Nice action coming from Cannacig Twitter!

If Green Asset Inc invested in RFMK, that would be awesome.
Maybe RFMK is holding out until the very end of the month to give themselves the maximum amount of time.
Why not get as much done of what they've talked about in their PR's so when they do issue "that" PR, they can give us more bang for the buck!
Don't get me wrong though, I want to see product on shelves, pictures, numbers, etc. by yesterday already! This was just a thought, take it for what it's worth.
Go RFMK!

Morning RFMK'ers! West coast checking in and out. No news printed that I can see. Way too early to be up, going back to bed. See you on boards later.
No worries though :)

If there is an RFMK news update via PR or whatever, I'm not expecting it to announce product on shelves, but maybe further developments or hopefully a picture of the product.
I'm expecting the news of the Cannacig for sale and on shelves toward the end of the month.
BUT...suprise me with the much hyped, much anticipated, mother of all mothers PR this week that we all want to hear, and I won't complain.
Come on Mike and Tom! Every investor here is waiting. Last but far from least, I'm sure our little birdy can't wait to tweet with a pic, and start ringing the register!
Let's go RFMK!

Great due diligence on this one! It's very exciting to think that even a very small portion of that $100 million could steer the way of RFMK! Think of how many shares of RFMK you each have and it's total cash value. Now imagine if just $1 Million came into RFMK? Wow.

Post of the day, and very well put!
Especially this part:
An RFMK ask slap with $4500 would add a million to your position. Wish I had those funds available to slap the ask. I'm selfishly trying to pick up a few more at the bid, but if I don't get them I'm fine because the difference in what I would gain or lose on my pick up is minimal. If that's you with the funds, hope you get what you want! Any day now...
Go RFMK!!
Rec
RFMK has been looking steady for a while now. Very few selling, some trying to pick up more shares at the bid price. When product hits shelves this month, we're most likely going to see people trying to pick up shares at that asking price.
So stalemate it is for now, but something's gotta give and that day of giving is within sight!
Ok, off to boot camp then another full day of work.
Go RFMK
Rec
Yes indeed, any day now RFMK could have the Cannacig on shelves in CA. Selfishly, I'd like it to be toward the end of the month so I can add more to my position at this low price range. But I'm not going to say anything bad just to try and get shares at a lower price. We have all had our chances to accumulate for some time now, so I think a lot of longs are ready for it any day.
Go RFMK!
Rec
New logo shows RFMK working on the brand which is something they have talked about in PR's.
It's important for a company or product to have an easily identifiable logo, and I think this new logo is pretty sweet! It's very simple yet, (as Duncansdad pointed out) has hidden message within like T H C, and the double C's standing for Cannacig.
Just for fun, try searching logos with hidden messages. Perhaps RFMK's logo will be a brand recognized the world over someday.
Go RFMK!
Rec
I have reason to believe RFMK will have the Cannacig on shelves by the end of this month from my own personal due diligence.
So far, all sides are providing a lot of speculation. Personally, I'm very excited to see how everything plays out once product is on shelves.
I try to read the boards daily and wonder how comments will change from certain posters when launch is official. At that time, we'll all be speculating on entirely different information like projected revenues based on pricing, interpreting reviews, number of outlets and distribution channels, how many were ordered or are on order, etc.
I look forward to continued board discussion when we have more factual data to work with.
Go RFMK,
Rec
RFMK should be thankful for LilBirdy's input and help in bringing the Cannacig Gen 2 to market! I know many long term investors like myself appreciate everything you've done to improve and solidify RFMK's position in the MMJ industry once the Cannacig is officially launched! Basically, you've really stepped up RFMK's game. Thank you LilBirdy!
Go RFMK!

Analysis of RFMK PR dated March 8, 2012.
Let's not overthink RFMK here. My common sense thinking says this:
We have a company that got excited about their product and started releasing news prematurely. Then OHM comes aboard. The PR's since have been great and explain the delays to my satisfaction.
RFMK only improved their position when they signed a contract with Judah and OHM, an ESTABLISHED business that knows how to do things right. They said hold up, here's how you do it.
We're going to see product. Common sense tells me there is no way they would take it to this extent if they weren't going to come through.
Maybe I'm too simple minded in my thinking, but I say leave the details to the businessmen IN the business to iron everything out instead of speculating about this and that.
Patiently waiting for the Cannacig to hit shelves.
Go RFMK!
