Maybe by Monday, since this meeting might be more important than we think, we'll hear something from Imperia. If nothing else, even the "possibility" of something good happening, gives me another reason to "hang on" !!!! Florida
Rhino, could this 3 day meeting in Vegas produce something really positive in your opinion? I wonder if Ken is there also, it might give us a clue as to how much importance they're giving this meeting! I still feel that there's a valid reason this reverse split isn't official "yet". If it takes another month, but, the stock price moves up, "great"!!! Regards, Florida
Makes sense to me David! Level 2 anyone??? Thanks, Florida
joro, why worry about whether or not the company is telling the truth, sometimes situations change, and a company's plans can change too. Even if they submitted the application, and it's been approved in the last day or two, they won't release "anything" until James gets back from his meetings.You're only one of many people that are impatiently waiting for this and hopefully, other news. Calling the company liars, or, bashing James all the time, will get us nowhere. We all have choices. Hold on to our shares, even though it's been a painful journey, or, sell them and move on, which would mean some big losses. My choice is to wait it out! Regards, Florida
joro, they will do the reverse split when they believe "the time is right", not when we want it done! First let them consumate one solid deal involving oneof their movies, and watch what happens. Although none of us are happy with Kens recent announcements, especially our "free share" deal, he's sharp enough to realize that you can't do this reverse split at this price! I still believe, they will wait until they have something really strong to announce, knowing the stock will then go higher, and then do the r.s. After it's official, they probably will start issuing lots of p.r's. like they used to do. Just my guess, which is about all we can do right now is guess. The company has been almost "too quiet", and I don't believe this will remain quiet too much longer. Even with the burst of selling yesterday, almost 1 mil. shares sold, dropping it to 0.0004, it still traded at 0.0008, at 4 p.m. yesterday. This was a very nice recovery for a day when it looked like the stock had collapsed completely. It wouldn't surprise me at all, if the stock goes higher today, news or no news. Forget your gloom joro, think "positive"!!!! Florida
Insanity, any strength building up on level 2 ???? Thanks again, Florida
500, I agree with you. However I don't think a pretty savy guy like Ken would r.s. this stock right now. Either he'll wait until they have something real positive to announce, in hopes of getting a jump in price, or, they'll cancel this split, or postpone it, until the price moves up again. jmo, Florida
500, the worst could be over. Unless we get some news, we can only guess who sold that block and why???? If we could finish at 0.0008 or higher, it would be a good sign. Florida
Thanks, Florida
insanity, could you give us an update on level 2. Thanks,Florida
faster, even though I'm as annoyed as everyone else at the moment, I agree with you, there could be "a lot more than meets the eye here"!!!! Since almost everybody is very uncertain of this company right now, maybe some day we'll look back and say, "And to think I could have bought shares at 0.0008, OR, 0.0009". Right now, everyone including myself, is afraid to get involved any deeper in this stock than we already are. And the way this stock has been acting lately, how else could anyone feel???? Florida
tenac, I've been involved in r.s. before, and none of them ever took this long to happen. From what I understood, a company files papers to do this, and usually is approved almost immediately, especially on the pink sheets! If Ken is as knowlegable as most folks think he is, "why would he put this reverse split through now, when the price is much to low" ????? Common sense says he wouldn't!!! They could give us a hundred reasons after it's completed as to why it took so long. And being this company doesn't file anyway, nobody except people who owned or still own this stock would really care. None of us would question anything if this stock price started shooting up, would we??? Let's just see what happens in the next week or two. Florida
Rhino, somebody posted here earlier this week, and he seemed to know where James would be for the next 4 days. Since he was aware of what's going on, he should be able to tell us more! Florida
Is it possible that the reverse split will be done when Imperia,"Ken",wants it done? When I sent out my last E-mail and said that a company would have to be crazy to r.s. their stock at this low price, and it could go even lower, they seemed to ignore that very important remark!!! As we all know, paper work to do a reverse split can't possibly take "2" months unless you want it to!!! Maybe, just maybe, Ken is smarter than all of us. Wouldn't it make more sense to get some kind of deal signed for one of their films, and "then announce" the split.Maybe that's what James is working on this weekend. A sale, or licensing agreement that would translate into dollars for Imperia, would do wonders for the stock price of IPRE "before" it splits!!!! That would make some sense, as they would be a lot safer splitting at a higher price than this!!!! Just a possibility, but one never knows what could happen next on Wall Street do they????? Come on James and Ken, let's start making some good things happen!!!! Regards, Florida
Somehow today felt a lot better than yesterday. Although the volume is extremely light, there's absolutely no selling at this price level. The last trade of the day of 2 million shares at the ask of 0.0009,was the best trade of the day in my mind morale wise. The fact that James will be away on business the next four days could turn out to be pretty important. In one of his answers to a posters e-mail earlier in the week, he seemed to imply that something might be in the works.He said something to the effect that he didn't consider it news that he would be working on this new film, but also said if he received a contract with someone while he was there, then that would constitute news, and warrant a press release! Maybe it's just wishful thinking on my part, but it wouldn't surprise me if something is announced between now and next Monday. For the time being, especially when it looks like this is a real bottom for our stock price, I will hold and wait. After all if I waited this long, I can certainly wait another week or two before deciding just what I should do, if anything. Somtimes patience really is a virtue. Regards, Florida
Jason, yes we did. Believe it or not, "somebody" bought 2 million shares at the close at 0.0009. It's certainly encouraging to see a buyer that still has faith in this compny and it's future. Granted the whole transaction totaled $1,800, but a couple of thousand dollars is still money. Let's see what the next two days bring???? Regards, Florida
joro, if James should go, and remember he's here because of his contacts and friends in the movie industry, not because of his business experience, then how about the head man, the one who calls "all" the shots here, KEN?????? Instead of continually knocking the "messenger" in this case, why not put the blame on the one who runs this company??? So far, he's not shown the qualities needed to make this company successful. Just my observation. Regards, Florida
joro,I don't believe my opinion matters at all with James, and at this point I'm not sure if the company really knows what to do? Did they as they say really file for a reverse split, are they more interested in Muller right now than they are in Imperia, and, if this C.E.O. is an attorney, wouldn't you think he would attempt to apply some pressure on the people who process these filings, rather than send a messenger there "every day" as he claims they are doing. Maybe they realize, or at least they should, that to reverse split this stock at this ridiculously low price, is like committing suicide. How long do they think it would remain at 35 or 40 cents before it fell even lower???? Don't believe for one second that anything I say to James that "might" be helpful, they would do or not do. Having read several answers that different posters received from him, I feel like I'm re-reading some of the ones he sent to me. Whatever game plan they had, or still do have, will not be changed in any way by anything anyone of us has to offer in way of advice. You and I have disagreed on things on this board. I still believe that Ken is a decent person, and is doing the best he can do. I feel that he, as an employee, has to say and do what his boss says. I don't believe in attacking him as being incompetent, is the right thing to do. He has a job, which in this case is a thankless one, as he must take all the anger and complaints sent to IPRE. The day to day decisions are made by his "boss", Ken, not by James. What he's told to do he does, and what he's able to say he says. Like any other employee in this world, he has to take orders from the top.If somone believes in what they're doing, and has hopes that some of these movies will succeed, then like Ken, they continue to take the abuse from people like us, and keep trying to make this thing succeed regardless. I honestly wish him and this company the best of luck. Regards, Florida
lgb, loyalty like everything else in life, shouldn't be taken for granted! It's even possible Ken actually means well, but is caught up in a situation in which he's powerless to improve things. When you back a person, even when others are bashing him, and he doesn't seem able to answer tough questions, publicly, then your confidence in that person begins to erode. Like some others on this board, I still have my shares. However, at this time, my confidence level in them is at an all time low. Every day I too hope that the "miracle announcement" I've been waiting for will be made. But with nothing important enough to help this stock, the volume has dried up and the share price keeps eroding. Not a very happy picture, to paint, but until they say or do something to change things, look for more of the same. Regards, Florida
tag, There's a much better chance of having a cold beer with you, then tea with anyone from IPRE. Sometimes it reaches the point, when anger and frustration, replaces the praise and confidence you've been giving to someone!Since almost everyone gets a "similar answer" to their e-mails, and Ken said he would be extremely busy" for a few weeks, we'll leave the future contacts to others who care to e-mail him. If I have any other comments to make to the folks at IMPERIA, I will do it on this board as I'm quite sure these people do read it! Regards, Florida
tenac, at this point, I don't know if even a great p.r. would do any good. It seems that whatever they announce lately, doesn't have any affect on our stock price. Regards, Florida
You're probably right. As long as my thoughts got through to some, I guess I'm satisfied. Regards, Florida
Thanks tenac. However, one might think with all the recent moves they've announced, that not only hurt their "stock price", but killed their loyal investors, they seem very unconcerned that this stock price just keeps drifting lower and lower, and volume keeps drying up in IPRE!!! Is it considered illegal to make announcements that "lower your stock price" ???? Just wondering out loud. Florida
DAVID,THE LINE THAT SAYS, "WE DO NOT PUT OUT P.R"S. TO INCREASE THE PRICE OF THE STOCK, SAYS IT ALL! What company in their right frame of mind, that has a 0.0007 stock price, supposedly waiting for the approval to reverse split it, which would mean a 35 cent stock price, "WOULDN'T KILL TO HAVE THEIR STOCK PRICE INCREASED'????? EITHER THESE GUYS, OR AT LEAST ONE OF THEM, IS NOT VERY BRIGHT, OR, THEY HAVE TO BE THE MOST NAIVE GROUP THAT EVER HEADED ANY SMALL COMPANY. eSPECIALLY ONE THAT'S LISTED ON THE "WILD WILD WORLD" KNOWN AS THE PINK SHEETS.TO HAVE MADE THE ANNOUNCEMENTS THEY DID OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS, FIRST GIVING OUT "FREE SHARES" AND THEN WATCHING THEM BECOME ALMOST WORTHLESS, ANNOUNCE A SPLIT OVER "SIX WEEKS AGO", WHICH IS STILL IN LIMBO, FORWARD SPLIT EVERYONES GIFT SHARES, BUT EXCLUDE THEM FROM PROFITING IN ANY WAY BY INCREASING THEIE "FREE ONES",IT ALL ADDS UP TO A COMPLETE DISASTER!!!!! ALMOST EVERY E-MAIL SOUNDS THE SAME WHEN THEY RESPOND.wHY IN THE WORLD I'M STILL IN THIS STOCK, REFUSING TO SALVAGE A LITTLE MONEY, MAKES ME WONDER IF I'M NOT THE CRAZY ONE, NOT THEM. a LOT OF NICE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN BURNED FROM WHAT I READ ON THIS BOARD. THERE'S AN OLD SAYING, "WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND". MAYBE SOME DAY IT WILL APPLY HERE!!!! REGARDS, FLORIDA. PLEASE PARDON HALF THIS MESSAGE IN REGULAR PRINT AND THE REST IN CAPS. I GUESS IT SHOWS HOW THIS STOCK HAS FINALLY GOTTEN TO ME!!!
Banana, I will not be e-mailing Jim as you call him, for a while as he said he will be pretty busy for the next couple of weeks. However,if anyone else does contact him, I'm sure they'll follow your advice. Regards, Florida
Banana, since I honestly believe Jim reads this board daily,and I printed the message I sent to him several hours before he answered,I believe he was aware of what was coming. Do I know for sure? "nothing in life is for sure". However, it's a pretty educated guess!!!! Regards, Florida
Dear Richard,
Let me first say that I realize that everyone is anxious right. I
have told you what I know about the situation. No matter how many
times you ask about the reverse split, I will give you the same answer
because it's the truth. MLMD is a different company, with different
requirements and it not comparable in the context that you stated.
Please remember that there is a lot of time to kill on the message
boards, and when nothing goes on, it gives people time to concoct all
kinds of theories. There is no conspiracy other than our desire to
make IPRE a success.
Since we are privy to what goes on with the company day to day, we are
much more confident than those who just blindly speculate. Keep in
mind that to my knowledge no investors predicted the reverse split,
the dividend, the forward split, the cell phone deal, Never Submit, us
acquiring MLMD etc, etc right before they happened. So while
investors on IHUB and other boards (which is a small percentage of our
overall shareholder base) may think they can run our business better
than we can, they have no idea about what is coming any more than they
did about what was coming in the past.
We will always update our shareholders when there is news to tell.
As I have always stated, we have a long-term agenda for this company,
and we are focused on building it long term. There is no mystery
about that.
On an unrelated note, I am in the process of starting heavy
pre-production duties on "Never Submit" and "Whiskers" as well as
other confidential matters that will become time intensive over the
next few weeks. As a result I will have to cut down on my time
responding to yours and others daily concerns. I believe that
shareholders would like me to focus on building the company and value,
rather than spending my time talking about it. I ask that investors
respect my time at this time as we are entering the next phase for our
projects as expressed in recent PR's.
All the best,
James

Folks at the suggestion of a couple of posters, I E-Mailed James yesterday. I believe I asked him some pretty tough questions, and it wasn't the friendliest message I've ever sent. However, like many others, I don't like our stock price one bit, or agree with some of this company's recent moves.However, he did take the time to respond, and even if I don't agree with some of his answers, and the things he didn't answer, I appreciate him taking the time to respond. He has to be aware that this answer will be shared by all on this board. The message will follow. Florida
tag, I called E TRADE twice today. No bid or ask was showing, and I had to re-enter my password several times as they knocked me off line. Florida
Paramount, I was referring to a couple of answers one from Ken, where some posters commented on some angry comments they had e-mailed back to people. Florida
500,done!!!! Florida
Hello James. If you've read the board today, the folks that have been
supporting you and the stock have a very important question to ask. It
seems that one of our posters has taken the time to contact the office where
we were supposed to have filed for approval of our reverse split. He's been
informed that they "have no record of it ever being filed" !!!! Since next
week will be "six weeks" from our filing date, don't you think it's taking a
lot longer than it should ??? Another poster, also a backer of Imperia,
wonders why, and I tend to agree, the forward split of MLMD was accomplished
in a flash, and the reverse split of Imperia drags on and on ??? What could
possibly be holding this thing up this long??? We want to believe it when we
read that Ken checks every day on this thing. However, I really believe you
and Ken should discuss this thing and make a public release as to just where
"everything stands" regarding this company. We know of all the "past
announcements" you people have made. What we would like to know is, has
anything positive materialized from any those positives you've been working
on??? Days go by, and weeks go by, and not only does this announced split
never seem to happen, but "nothing" is said. For a company that was popping
out one positive press release on top of the other, "why are we now so
silent"??? We would all appreciate a straight answer to these questions.
Taking your anger out on the remaining shareholders, who've stayed the
course, in my opinion is just "misdirected anger" !!!!! Regards, Florida ( This was sent to James at 6.30p.m. Now we wait!!!!)
500, the e-mail is being written right now! Florida
Insanity, good work. The number of shares you found total a little more than 4 million. This still leaves around "one and three quarter billion shares" unaccounted for!!!! Who has all these and why are they holding on to them?????? Florida
Does anyone have any idea just "who" owns the 2 billion shares that IPRE has outstanding??? If we took a total of shares owned by posters on our board, it would still leave over "one and one half billion",or possibly eeven more than that, on the open market. Don't you think that some of these people who own "big blocks" of this stock would be bailing out about now? After all, getting back part of their investment, which in some cases is probably still a nice piece of change, would be better than losing it all. Are they just guessing and hoping along with us, that things will get better??? Or, do they have a better insight into just what this company is planning to do than we do??? I guess we'll have to wait a little longer to get our answers. If we can wait a month or two for such a simple thing as a reverse split to be done, I guess we owe it to ourselves to wait a little bit longer to see what the "big guys" do!!! Florida
This has to be the quietest day in quite a while. Since this company's focus seems to be on Muller Media, the complete lack of interest in IPRE is due to their total silence of late. R.S. or no R.S. they have told shareholders "absolutely nothing new" in several days now!!!! There's absolutely no sense in e-mailing James, as he can only answer what Ken allows him to say. The only encouraging thing, if you would call it that, is there always seems to be some buyers who come in at the 0.0009 bid price. Why, I have absolutely no idea. One day it was MLMD, another E-TRADE, and today it's JEFF. As banana said earlier, the way things are right now there should be no interest in buying this stock right now. tRUE, but there's absolutely no interest in anyone "selling it right now either". It could very well have dropped even lower than this, but for some unknown reason it hasn't. One thing is certain, until this reverse split is officially done, we still have 2 billion shares out there. With that large a float, it's just a matter of time before the volume picks up again. Let's hope it's on the "buy side" !!! Florida
morcash, cancel it, or leave it and get it finalized this month. Either way would be much better than the way things are right now. We are currently, "in limbo" as the saying goes. Everyone is guessing what will happen next, and nobody really knows the answers! Florida
Moose, you can't even get the current bid and ask today. I called, and they said they changed their pages. The more folks calling in to complain, the quicker this problem will be fixed!!! Florida
Banana, "this was not a press release"!!!! If my asking them tough questions, which most of the time aren't answered, is considered to be one, then Ken or whoever runs this company owes me a whole lot of back pay. The "only" reason I share these questions and answers with this board, is to let "everyone" know not only where I stand, but what the company has to say in response. If you guys would rather they not be posted, that would be fine with me. Regards, Florida
Richard,
Patience is a virtue. There is nothing we can do about the speed of
the RS. As I forwarded to you Ken is following up every day about
this.
Einstein had an expression which is that most people see things as
they are rather than as they could be. I would change that to most
people see things as they are rather than what they will be. Every
moment is an opportunity,
Another expression that would apply to this is "An idol mind is the
Devil's playground".
Nothing we have done has failed. Again the day to day stock price is
not my main concern. We have a plan to get on to a better exchange
and the RS will help with that goal. Everything is moving forward as
planned.
Stocks go up and down.
All the best,
James
