I contacted James and suggested a corporate update to "clear the air". Sometimes, and this is one of those times, it's really needed! Florida
It'sprobably not important, but since the last few trades were sells at 0.0011, I just checked to see if UBSS was still bidding at that price. He is, and he's now got a companion. Two bidders, and still one seller, UBSS of course. Florida
All these negative "rumors" are not helping our stock price today! This makes some kind of statement from our company explaining their feelings and thoughts, even more important at this time. Hopefully, we will get an update from Imperia, as this could help put all shareholders minds at ease. Regards, Florida
Rick, this company has been hard at work, like the rest of us, trying to fet this trading restriction lifted. A shareholders update, in the form of a press release informing"everyone", not just our board of just what's been going on for 11 datys now, and, letting the world know that this was not the fault of Imperia, as we "definitely did nothing wrong",would go a long way in installing some much needed investor confidence back into this stock. Since it wouldn't take a whole lot of buying to get this back at least to where it was when this restriction, requested by a market maker if I may add, was first put on, a "clear the air" type of news release could only help! Regards, Florida
A new bidder at 0.0011, "PERT", Is he familiar to anyone???? And, even better an early"buy" of 1.25 MIL. shares at the ask of 0.0012. Maybe todays the start of something good???????
tenac, I think it would make a great p.r. Unless there's some legal reason they can't release it that we are not aware of, then by all means an open letter to "all shareholders" spelling everything out, "is the way to go"!!! In fact, I relayed your advice to James in an e-mail late last night. Regards, Florida

Here's the answer from James. Just received it. Florida Florida,
I appreciate your thinking on this matter. While I think it is a good
idea, I have three things to say about it:
1) We could only do a share buy back if we make enough money from SIIR
or one of our other movies. I think it could be considered fluff if
we announce something that is a hypothetical for the future. I have
no problem doing a buy back if and when we make a considerable profit.
2) If announcing the completion of SIIR, the UFC leak and the
cancellation of the RS does not move the PPS in this situation, I
doubt much will. I believe if the restrictions were not in place the
PPS would be at .040 or higher right now. That is exactly where it
was headed. We don't have enough volume now compared to the
outstanding shares for the stock to really move with the restrictions
in place. We will of course release news if there is news to tell,
but I think releasing news just to try and create a short play will be
manipulation and we are not going to play that game.
3) Something else that people should think about is who is really in
control here. It's the MM's. I think everyone should complain to the
brokers and the SEC like they have been doing. I like the idea of
sending Simon's interview to them. If they realize this is getting
media attention, that might help the problem. But if you don't think
the MM's have us all by the short and curlies, then you are living in
dreamland. If we put out news to send the PPS even higher, what's to
stop them from keeping in the restrictions even longer so they can
just come back to the table a little latter when things have cooled
down, and feast again? Or maybe they could even put in deeper
restrictions to get what they want. It seems they can do whatever
they want, and are not very accountable to anyone. They refuse to
lose and just change the rules of the game so that they don't. Its
like trying to beat someone who has loaded dice or marked cards.
It looks to me that the beast will decide when it has stopped
feasting and in the meantime we just have to watch as it eats up our
shares at a low price.
The market falls right into their trap by reacting and not trading the
stock. I think the media spotlight and constant complaints is the
only way to resolve this. Either that or the MM's get their fill.
Whichever comes first.
All the best,
James
Folks it's been a while since my e-mail to James regarding a possible buy back. The fact that they're taking a while to respond I see as a positive thing. Since everyone knows that this must be discussed with Ken, who knows, maybe there's some hope? Regards, Florida
Since UBSS is still the "highest bidder" again!!!!, how many more days do you think it will take him to buy enough shares to cover his short position? At least then E-TRADE and a few others can then safely remove their restrictions on online trading . Florida
joro, if this was to really happen at this time, and not be just a "throw out" as you claim, will you apologize to James, and this board for this other "always doubting post" ???? Just curious. Florida
faster. agreed. Although I have always been a supporter of this company, sometimes you just have to ask them some tough questions. If I too didn't really believe that a move like this at the present time, would really generate some strong buying interest in IPRE, I wouldn't have bothered to send James this e-mail this morning. I too am very interested in their response. Regards, Florida
Hello folks. I just sent an e-mail to James regarding the present situation of our IPRE stock. In it I discussed hearing that Imperia was seriously considering some kind of share buy back, if revenues from SIIR are good.I asked if he could discuss with Ken, the possibility of announcing a buy back "now", instead of waiting, as the stock has not responded to anything else lately, including his radio interviews. Just imagine how much interest Imperia would generate if this could get started right now, "before" these market makers that are short, and requested the online trading halt, could react. If stocks that announce reverse splits almost "always" go down, conversely, those that announce they are buying back their own stocks, almost "always" go "higher" Something for them to think about. Since nothing else we've tried to do lately has helped draw any interest in this stock, I'm quite sure this certainly would. Since none of us know their personal financial situation, or, just how much they really believe in this company's success, we can only hope that they can and will take advantage of the current situation, low stock price, market makers caught short, and almost no real selling volume left, and get this buy back going "now"!!!! Regards, Florida
And his ansers were?????
Thanks. Florida P.S. I wonder how many more shares he needs to buy, to be able to cover his short positions????
insanity, did we lose all our bidders at 0.0011???? Florida
Good point

joro, was that you who sold all those shares, 14,000 at the bid? You received $15.40 without the commissions. Well, at least you got everyones attention. We know now that you have the power to bring this stock price down.This should be enough to get you some long due respect from all of us. P.S. I liked that song, about never making a pretty woman your wife. You do have a good sense of humor. Regards, Florida
TITAN, could you please tell us what price UBSS is selling at now ???? Thanks, Florida
liquid, we haven't heard a word from you since 3.37 p.m. yesterday! At that time you posted that you had just put a buy order in for 2 mil. shares at 0.0012. This order never appeared to go through, and I thought you would let the folks on the board know "just what happened"???? Did you change your mind which is fine, or, did they give you some sort of a problem by not accepting your buy order at the "ask"???? Please keep us informed, as we want to see how some brokers are handling the buy orders in this stock. Florida
Thanks for the suggestion

liquid, are you sure your order was entered. The way things have been going lately, they probably "forgot" to put it in!!! Florida
liquid, if you really believe in this company, what difference does 0.0001 more really mean when you're buying millions of shares. Unless you want to day trade out of it in just a week or so, why not pay 0.0012???? Just curious. Florida
joro, even if this company announced they were being bought out by Microsoft, and you would receive $1 for every share you owned, you still would not be happy! Being happy is really great, you must try it some time! Florida
joro, does anything ever please you, or make you feel happy? Does the sun ever shine where you live? Try saying something real positive one day. I guarantee you it will make "you" feel much better. No charge for this "free" therapy session. Florida
Braden, back on where? Does this mean we can buy shares online again with E-TRADE Florida
ermite, is he on the ask or bid??? Florida
Anyone with an update for level 2, Thanks, Florida
Don't discount the possibility of the "big boys", who did some real heavy buying a couple of weeks ago, deciding to drive these short sellers out, "before" any good news hits. That would be a smart way to get this baby back up where it belongs. This would only be phase 1, imagine what phase 2, 3, and 4 would do!!!!! Florida
Titan, if UBSS is the big shorter in this stock, how long could he remain one of the sellers, if this burst of buying continues???? Wouldn't he then have to become a "buyer only" to cover his shorting???? Florida
Rhino, almost all my posts, with some questions thrown in, are positive ones. Each time I e-mail the company, and they allow me to post their reply, I'm promoting this company! When and if I sell IPRE, and move on, I would no longer express my opinions on IPRE,but would just look in now and then on the board. When you make a decision to buy shares in any stock, You do so at your own risk.Some work out, others don't. I really hope everything works out well for the company and all shareholders. Regards, Florida
Rhino, is it your belief that this stock price will remain just where it is for the next three months? If that's really the case, it would certainly explain why we don't have any buying in it. In todays world, people would rather pay 2 or 3 times this price, if they see some real heavy buying coming in, aaccompanied by some good news! If your scenario is correct, and it might be, it could be November or December before we get a rally in IPRE. Imperia would then have to be classified as a long term investment/risk, for new investors. At least that's the way I would have to read it if what you point out is true. Florida
Hello again Kapone. I agree with your answer that when this restriction is lifted this stock should at least returnto the price it was trading at when it took place. In fact, now that everyone is aware of the "hidden" short selling that was going on, "any increase in buying pressure", should even drive it a lot higher than it was! The first question still remains unanswered however. What can the management of Imperia do "now", to regain interest in this stock and also regain the confidence of shareholders? Without anyone buying this stock, how can it possibly move higher????? You would think with the stock price so low, that the "larger investors" could move this stock price up very quickly, especially if there's really a large short position that must be covered. Unless "all" the buying volume we had in those two huge days, was done online, and the buyers don't want to tip their hand as to who they are, "why don't they call their orders in for the time being?????? All these small stocks are momentum driven. When they go down with volume "people sell", and when they go up with volume, "people buy"! So far, our complaints to brokers and the S.E.C. have done nothing. Radio interviews by our President haven't done much so far either. Good press releases haven't helped. What then can James and Ken possibly do to help this stock regain credibility and start moving higher????? Regards, Florida
faster, 2 at the bid of 0.0011, and 2 at the ask of 0.0012. UBSS still one of the people "selling"!!!! Florida
James was in complete agreement with this!!!! This guy knows what he's talking about.

The market HATES uncertainty, simple as that. The stock was rising
very very fast after the announcing that we were not going forward
with the RS. The stock was returning to the numbers it was PRIOR to
us announcing the RS. These restrictions have an unnatural effect on
the stock. The market is not allowed to play out naturally and the
market is unable to find its own level on this stock because it is
being manipulated.

Florida,
I do think that some of the positive announcements AND the fact that
there can be no dilution and that we did not go forward with the RS
has a positive effect on the stock that even this action can not keep
down BUT there is no doubt that the restrictions had a real and
visible effect on the stock. Prior to the RS the stock was 0.050 and
when we announced the cancellation of the RS the stock was 0.025 going
north FAST. Now it is around 0.012. And the volume has a similar
arch. Look at the chart, it tells everything. This restriction
killed a MASSIVE run (which was probably the idea). I believe if it
hadn't happened the stock would be at 0.040 or more right now.. and
the release of SIIR finished and the NS leak might have sent it even
further north.
FYI Banana is wrong, people got burned on our stock when the REG D was
happening, but as soon as the stock went up %2000 all was forgiven.
Then when we did the RS people were pissed again. If the restrictions
hadn't gone in, this stock would have flew. Just look at the volume
numbers that week and where they are after the restrictions. The
effect is very visible.
The fact is that the restrictions demoralize investors and for those
who don't trade online, they just think that nothing is affecting the
stock in a positive way. They don't have any clue that it is because
of the restrictions. Uncertainty is a big problem for stocks. Also,
if people cant trade our stock online, some traders will just move on
to another stock as they don't want to bother picking up the phone.
There is absolutely no doubt that this action manipulates the stock
and effects it in a profound way.
All the best,
James

Kapone, I agree with your logic. It makes sense. The question then is,"how can the management of IPRE get this stock going again" ? And, do you believe the removal of the restriction on trading online, will do anything for the stock price ? Regadrs, Florida
Kapone, if what you're hearing is true, then "why" doesn't some more heavy buying come in to this stock. We shouldn't need news, if it was flying upward when they announced the cancellation of the reverse split. "Do only "online" traders purchase this stock" ????? If they bought even 25% of the shares they were buying the two days before this restriction was put on, this stock would "triple" in price!!!!! Very, very, puzzling!!!!!! Florida
I'm continuing to e-mail E-TRADE until this ban is lifted, or, they give me "one" real honest explanation of why it's still in effect. Anything that Imperia sends me in the way of an e-mail that could be helpful to those of us that own shares in IPRE, I will continue to share with the folks on this board Since this restriction has lasted 10 days now, these brokers should either make a "public" announcement explaining "why" it's still on, or, "remove it now"!!!!! Florida
