AUTO = SBSH SHORTING MORE ISBL IN HERE
HERE THEY COME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am not seling anything today. Didn't sell yesterday either......I've sen these casino tables too many times....in the blink of an eye, we could gap up to $.028
If they play this right.......they will DRILL the ask today, and buy another 20mln or so.
shane67, i'll bet DRE and his friends bought at least 15mln yesterday, plus the stock they have been accumulating since 1/8/08.............they could have NEGATIVE FLOAT, where the short can bid even $.50, and there would be no stock available.
CHECKMATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IS THIS OUR GOLDEN TICKET AGAIN?
NITE JUST WENT .0075 ASK.......TODAY IS GOING TO BE FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NEXT 2 WEEKs WE ARE GOING TO ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi MSTEP.....i think that many are not reading the most important part of this PR:
"All current market makers and others will be contacted to participate in making markets for this stock. The pricing of this stock should allow many additional market makers the opportunity to participate in the market."
ISBL is getting rid of the dilution.....RICK/LANE....probably VESSEL and SWIRL will go too. Only thing left will be DRE and his FIGHTING MACHINE. MMs are greedy. I've had FILET dinners with a few at some of the best steakhouses in NY. They are greedy MOFOs. Would like to see if they can get a friendly MM with some $$$, to back up the stock price of ISBL.
SHORT is going to get nervous. REG SHO now many days, and we are contacting MMs?
You know what, MSTEP............WE MIGHT CROSS .012 TODAY,,,,,,,,,,,and then it's only a 3x bagger to get to $.05.
TO THE MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
KARMA, ISBL is not paying anything. They sold LGN to a shell. The shares they are getting is probably settlement for all the crap dilution that was going on, and so that DRE can have his own shell. ISBL is getting paid shares for the LGN sale. If the BGGR deal had the o/s structure as I mentioned....you are in trouble. Because you have been touting DILUTION, and posting lies about ISBL. Think for 1 second.....what if ISBL is buying stock in here with DREs $500k money?
You think about that? What if his friends are also buying stock in here. You think about that?
The DILUTION came from the idiots......CPN/LGN/VESSEL/SWIRL/NORMAN/LANE/RICK P/MEL RICH.....the dilution did not come from ONE MEDIA ONE, and DRE.
The way I see it.....ISBL is becoming lean mean fighting machine......they got rid of RICK, now LANE,,,,they are getting rid of all the dilution. And listen to me very carefully.......you better change that rating back to an A+, otherwise, I will consider you a two-timing moron. One day from a D- then to a C, and minutes later to a C+, and then shortly sfter in the same day to a A+, and now back to B-. Are you flimsy or what? All in the same day.
WATCH WHAT IS HAPPENING..........ISBL IS GOING TO THE MMMMMMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!!!!!!!!!
You know....some people posted lies yesterday, that because the o/s was 1.1mln of the BGGR, that translates into 507mln o/s for ISBL.......MORONs. The PR by ISBL yesterday said the new shell had 1.1mln FREE-TRADING SHARES. That does not mean o/s. What if the new company had 1.1mln in CEDE DTC, thus free-trading, and they had 13.9mln in CERTIFICATE FORM, held by insiders for a total o/s of 15mln. If they get to 18mln based on o/s, that would put the OUTSTANDING of ISBL at 90mln. Of course, no one, and I mean no one knows what the OUTSTANDING shares of BGRR prior to this deal. If it's 15mln, as I just mentioned..........broken up 1.1mln free-trading and 13.9mln cert form......we are going to the moon, because the SHORT is in trouble.
Which means, that ISBL could be BUYING BACK STOCK IN HERE. DRE might be putting that $500k PUMA money to work.
TO THE MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
what if the 1.1mln was in street name, and they actually had 13.9mln in certificate form for total of 15mln o/so/s? huh, KARMA,,,you think about that scenario? if that's the case, then BGGR would only issue another 3mln right? that puts the o/s for ISBL at under 100mln.
you know what that means, right KARMA........yeah, sure you do. it means that ISBL is buying up stock in here, VIA DREs FRIENDs BUY PROGRAM.
listen, you don't know that o/s of BGRR, nor do i. so go ahead KARMA, tell me what would the o/s of ISBL be if the entity they sold LGN to, had 1.1mln in FREE TRADING and 13.9mln in CERTIFICATE stock, for a total of 15mln in TOTAL O/S.
That means that ISBL is actually buying back stock.....and KARMA......it's perfectly legal. Anyways, glad to see you come to your senses and give them an A+.......later.
WE ARE GOING TO THE MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BTW, KARMA is being stubborn:

THIS IS GOING TO BE ROCKET FUEL. DRE & HIS FRIENDs ARE BUYING UP AND GOBBLING UP THE O/S....AND THE SHORT WILL HAVE NEGATIVE FLOAT, AND THEY WILL BE TRAPPED, AND THIS ROCKET FUEL WILL BLAST OFF THE DRE ROCKET SHIP INTO OUTERSPACE.

DRE PUT UP $500,000 OF HIS PUMA MONEY INTO THIS DEAL......THIS IS HIS ROCKET SHIP - THE OTHERs HAD NO MONEY, AND WERE THE REASONs FOR THE DILUTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BTW, AMAZINGKARMA yesterday UPGRADED ISBL to A+.....although some of the highlights were wrong...I'm glad to see that person come to their senses........'CAUSE WE ARE GOING TO THE MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyone notice that joycesims.com website is down and disabled? anyone notice that RICK P was the registered name and address on this website? i posted the other day my value on ISBL subs:
LGN: $0 value
VESSEL: $0 value
SWIRL: $0 value
CPN: $0 value
FIGHT CO: $2mln value
DRE: OUR TICKET TO THE MMMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!!
So, let's see.....LGN GONE.........CPN/RICK GONE.......next to go will be VESSEL and SWIRL....and then we will have DRE and FIGHT CO together.
BTW, did everyone see that on 1/15/08, NORMAN registered 2mln ISBL for sale 144. I just think it's interesting, because he and his family have registered almost 10mln shares FOR SALE.
GET RID OF THEM ALL...........DRE IS THE ROCKET MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ISBL TO THE MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!!!!!!
Two items here:
#1, you cannot assume that the o/s of the BGGR is 1.1mln. The PR said that 1.1mln was the amount of free trading:
"It had 1,100,000 free trading shares in the float at the time."
you very well know that free-trading shares does not mean o/s. The o/s could be 5mln, meaning that 3.9mln are in certificate form. The free-trading ONLY means that CEDE DTC in street name totals that amount. The actual amount of issued shares could be higher. How high? I don't know. So, you cannot carelessly state that the o/s of ISBL is at 540mln based on the share factor of the merger.
#2, i like TWINKIEs.
Anyways, glad to see that you came to your SENSES KARMA, and UPGRADED this stock to an A+. I think you'll see $.05 very soon. Trust me. I've checked just about every STATE SOS, and cannot find Banx & Green, anywhere. Could be a foreign INCORPORATION. WHo knows. Do me a favor, call PINK SHEETS today and get a list of all companies that DELETED themselves from pinksheets around Feb 6, 2006. The Feb 6, 2006 date is the date PINK SHEETs ammended their "unsolicited" customer rule for quotations:
"Unsolicited Quotes
SEC Rule 15c2-11 provides an exemption to filing a Form 211 with the NASD for brokers that wish to publish an unsolicited quote. An unsolicited quote represents a customer order and not a market maker's own position and must be removed from the system once the customer order is executed. Compliance with this rule is monitored by the NASD.
Federal securities laws require an issuer making a public offering of securities to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission containing certain disclosures regarding the issuer and its securities. Pink Sheets has become increasingly concerned that the unsolicited quote exception in Exchange Act Rule 15c2-11 is being abused by unscrupulous individuals to engage in questionable and possibly fraudulent activities in violation of the federal securities laws. Pink Sheets, as a matter of policy, does not believe that the Unsolicited Quote Exemption should be used to circumvent the NASD's 211 process. As a result, effective February 6, 2006, Pink Sheets is limiting the publication of unsolicited quotes to securities of seasoned issuers only. A seaoned security is generally defined as a security for which there has previously been a public market or a security of an issuer that has other seasoned securities.
Pink Sheets generally will publish unsolicited quotations in securities that meet one of the following five conditions:
The Issuer of the securities is subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, is current in its filing obligations and has other seasoned securities currently trading on the NYSE, AMEX, NASDAQ, OTCBB or the Pink Sheets.
The securities were recently delisted from NYSE, AMEX, NASDAQ or the OTCBB;
The Issuer is a bank, savings and loan, or insurance company;
The securities were issued as part of a bankruptcy plan of reorganization; or
The security being quoted is a foreign ordinary, which is listed on a foreign exchange, or an ADR representing such ordinaries
In order to publish an unsolicited quote for a security that meets one of the above conditions and is not already quoted on Pink Sheets, a broker should submit this form to Pink Sheets:
Broker/Dealer Unsolicited Quote Entry (pdf)
Issuers of previously unseasoned securities that originally entered the Pink Sheets prior to February 6, 2006 using the unsolicited quote exemption and continue to be quoted only on an unsolicited basis are required by Pink Sheets to continue to make periodic disclosure using the Pink Sheets News Service. If the Issuer ceases to provide current information, Pink Sheets may cease to allow broker/dealers to publish quotes in its securities.
For additional information on the Pink Sheets' policy regarding the publication of unsolicited quotes, and for information on Pink Sheets' disclosure requirements for securities quoted on an unsolicited basis prior to February 6, 2006, click here."
http://www.pinksheets.com/pink/otcguide/brokers_index.jsp
KARMA, this tells me that the company to be named BGGR was a pinksheet company that did not meet the above criteria and was trading UNSOLICITED. If we can get a list of all companies that traded UNSOLICITED and requested removal, or were removed, then it would narrow down the # of companies. Heck, we could probably buy DRE a box of TWINKIEs, and get that info from him. WINK-WINK.
But let's also focus on why they are getting rid of the garbage? I never liked the whole NetCert/Beere/Norman/Lane/Rick/Mel Rich group of people. BTW, you saw that NORMAN on 1/5/08 filed 2mln more shares of ISBL 144? That's almost 10mln shares they registered for sale 144 in the last 4 weeks. ISBL got rid of RICK/CPN, now LGN....next to go is Vessel and Swirl, so that DRE can have this animal all to himself. Did you see that Joycesims.com is now disabled website, and if you pull WHOIS, it was registered with RICK. Get rid of them all, that's what I say.
FOCUS ON DRE......that's it for now. Anyways, like I said, glad to see you come to your senses.....'cause this is going to $.05 soon.
TO THE MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!!!!!!!
Geez, I hope that ISBL is smart enough to get a MM to file a FORM 211, and believe in them, now that there is a FUNDING FREEZE. You know, FUNDING FREEZE + REG SHO + DRE = MULTIMILLIONAIREs IN THE MAKING

Hi IRISHIBULL....I remember you from old RB daze gambling in stocks like IDNW/IBZT/MBAH in 2003-2004. I got booted from RB last year. Still around gambling on the casino tables looking for 25x baggers. Check out ISBL. I think it's in play. Been watching it for a long time. There is a short in there from Oct-Jan 2008, tried to lower the price to get favorable merger terms. Popped up on Reg SHO again 12/21 because of this shorting. That's #1. #2, they recently purchased Fight Company......MMA action. Check it out, and let me know what you think. I think it's a winner.
Later.

ISBL Update:
ISBL claims to be getting a "premium" in the upcoming announcement of what would most likely be a reverse merger move to the OTCBB.
Now this brings up many interesting scenarios. They'll most likely need a ticker change, (they will most likely have to take the symbol of the reverse merger partner, then change it to suit their business) and one of the most pricarious possibilities is that they do a reverse split along with the name change. This would certainly destroy the stock as most reverse mergers do.
Another variable is that ISBL has said that there was "debt" that needed to be negotiated so much will depend on what the result was, the amount of debt, and the quality and quantity of the assets that better accompany the debt. Hopefully the reverse merger partner will be in at least somewhat the same sector as ISBL seeing as how with debt, we have to hope that they're not partnering with an empty shell and simply taking on debt for a ticker symbol.
Other variables are the OS and AS. These are completely unknown and although management and ISBL pumpers have said over and over that no dilution would/will take place, business is business (how do you explain 30 MILLION shares flushed down the toilet to wallst.net for some lousy 2 minute interview? Not dilution? LOL! Seem they're VERY loose with their shares) so it will be more than interesting to see their OS/AS IF it's ever revealed.
Oh, and the blog information as opposed to PRs is ignorant. Seems they're trying to get some cult following instead of releasing PRs like more responsible companies.
Even though I'm HIGHLY skeptical of what will come within the next 2 days (they're supposed to announce their partner along with the terms of the deal today or tomorrow) due to the possiblity of what COULD happen...
Grade for ISBL: Raised to C+
so which is it, a C or a C+? I noticed you originally posted a C, and then changed it to C+? well, which is it?
cool......i'm going to post your UPGRADE now. later.
Do you mind if I tell the ISBL people of your UPGRADE in ISBl, or do you want to just keep it between us? It might win you favor with the GODs to get you UNBANNED. Let me know when you finish UPGRADING ISBL, and highlighting the points for the UPGRADE.
ISBL IS GOING TO BE A 25x BAGGER FROM THESE LEVELs - ALL THE UP TO .10.....FROM @.002 IT WAS A 60x BAGGER,,,,,,,,NOW, IT WILL BE A 25x BAGGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TO THE MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!!!!!!
so now that you are changing your attitude on ISBL, what is the new grade on the stock? you had a D-, now what is it?

OFFICE ACTION
TO AVOID ABANDONMENT, WE MUST RECEIVE A PROPER RESPONSE TO THIS OFFICE ACTION WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF OUR MAILING OR E-MAILING DATE.
Serial Number 76/516446
The examining attorney has searched the Office records and has found no similar registered or pending mark which would bar registration under Trademark Act Section 2(d), 15 U.S.C. §1052(d). TMEP §704.02.
Search Results and Prior Pending Applications
Although the examining attorney has searched the Office records and has found no similar registered mark which would bar registration under Trademark Act Section 2(d), 15 U.S.C. Section 1052(d), the examining attorney encloses information regarding pending Application Serial Nos. 76-403880, 76-405298, 76-419477, 78-192640, 78-192704, 78-192705 and 78192706. 37 C.F.R. §2.83.
There may be a likelihood of confusion between the applicant's mark and the marks in the above noted applications under Section 2(d) of the Act. The filing date of the referenced applications precede the applicant's filing date. If the earlier‑filed applications mature into registrations, the examining attorney may refuse registration under Section 2(d).
If the applicant believes that there is no potential conflict between this application and the earlier-filed applications, the applicant may present arguments relevant to the issue. The election to file or not to file such a request at this time in no way limits the applicant's right to address this issue at a later point.
Action on this application will be suspended pending the disposition of Application Serial Nos. 76-403880, 76-405298, 76-419477, 78-192640, 78-192704, 78-192705 and 78192706, upon receipt of the applicant’s response resolving the following refusal and informalities.
Section 2(e)(1) Refusal—Merely Descriptive
Registration is refused because the proposed mark merely describes the applicant’s services. Trademark Act Section 2(e)(1), 15 U.S.C. §1052(e)(1); TMEP §§1209 et seq.
A mark is merely descriptive under Trademark Act Section 2(e)(1), 15 U.S.C. §1052(e)(1), if it describes an ingredient, quality, characteristic, function, feature, purpose or use of the relevant goods and/or services. In re Gyulay, 820 F.2d 1216, 3 USPQ2d 1009 (Fed. Cir. 1987); In re Bed & Breakfast Registry, 791 F.2d 157, 229 USPQ 818 (Fed. Cir. 1986); In re MetPath Inc., 223 USPQ 88 (TTAB 1984); In re Bright‑Crest, Ltd., 204 USPQ 591 (TTAB 1979); TMEP §1209.01(b). A mark that describes an intended user of a product or service is also merely descriptive within the meaning of Section 2(e)(1). Hunter Publishing Co. v. Caulfield Publishing Ltd., 1 USPQ2d 1996 (TTAB 1986); In re Camel Mfg. Co., Inc., 222 USPQ 1031 (TTAB 1984); In re Gentex Corp., 151 USPQ 435 (TTAB 1966).
The applicant has applied for registration of the proposed mark "FIGHT CO" for use in connection with “fight management and promotion.” Prospective customers, viewing the mark as a whole, would immediately understand that the services involve fighting or combat sports, such as boxing or kickboxing, for example. See the attached definition.
Moreover, terms such as “Corporation,” “Inc.” and “Ltd.” are descriptive because they merely specify applicant’s entity type and do not function as a trademark or service mark to indicate source. See In re Patent & Trademark Services, Inc., 49 USPQ2d 1537, 1539-40 (TTAB 1998); In re Industrial Relations Counselors, Inc., 224 USPQ 309, 310 n.2 (TTAB 1984); In re E. I. Kane, Inc., 221 USPQ 1203, 1206 (TTAB 1984); In re Packaging Specialists, Inc., 221 USPQ 917, 919 (TTAB 1984); TMEP §1213.03(d).
Accordingly, the proposed mark merely describes a feature, characteristic, use, function, or purpose of the identified services, and its registration is properly refused under the Trademark Act Section 2(e)(1).

Informalities
If the applicant chooses to respond to the refusal to register, the applicant must also respond to the following informalities in order for the application to proceed. Please note, compliance with the below mentioned informalities is insufficient, in and of itself, to overcome the above mentioned deficiencies.
Definite Identification of Services Requirement
Applicant must submit samples of advertisements or promotional materials for the identified services because the nature of the services in connection with which applicant uses its mark is not clear from the present record. In addition, applicant must describe in some detail the nature, purpose and channels of trade of the services listed in the application. 37 C.F.R. §2.61(b); TMEP §§814 and 1402.01(d).
The wording in the identification of services needs clarification. Applicant must amend this wording to specify the common commercial or generic name for the services. If there is no common commercial or generic name for the services, then applicant must describe the nature of the services as well as their main purpose, channels of trade, and the intended consumer(s). TMEP §1402.01.
The applicant may adopt the following identification and classification, if accurate:
Fight management, namely management of professional athletes; promoting sports competitions and/or events of others in International Class 35.
TMEP §1402.01.
Please note that, while the identification of services may be amended to clarify or limit the services, adding to the services or broadening the scope of the services is not permitted. 37 C.F.R. §2.71(a); TMEP §1402.06. Therefore, applicant may not amend the identification to include services that are not within the scope of the services set forth in the present identification.
To the extent the suggested identification of goods or services is incomplete or inaccurate, the applicant is advised that the Trademark Acceptable Identification of Goods and Services Manual is accessible via the USPTO homepage at www.uspto.gov under the heading Trademarks and the subheadings Guidance and Manuals and Legal Resources or at http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/tac/doc/gsmanual/.
If applicant prosecutes this application as a combined, or multiple-class application, then applicant must comply with each of the requirements below for those goods and/or services based on actual use in commerce under Trademark Act Section 1(a):
(1) Applicant must list the goods/services by international class with the classes listed in ascending numerical order. TMEP §1403.01.
(2) Applicant must submit a filing fee for each international class of goods and/or services not covered by the fee already paid. 37 C.F.R. §2.86(a)(2); TMEP §§810.01 and 1403.01.
(3) Applicant must submit:
(a) dates of first use of the mark anywhere and dates of first use of the mark in commerce; the dates of use, both anywhere and in commerce, must be at least as early as the filing date of the application, 37 C.F.R. §§2.34(a)(l)(i), 2.34(a)(1 )(ii) and 2.86(a)(3);
(b) one specimen showing use of the mark for each class of goods and/or services; the specimen(s) must have been in use in commerce at least as early as the filing date of the application; 37 C.F.R. §§2.34(a)(1)(iv) and 2.86(a)(3); and
(c) both the dates of use and a statement that "the specimen was in use in commerce at least as early as the filing date of the application" must be verified in a notarized affidavit or a signed declaration under 37 C.F.R. §2.20; 37 C.F.R. §§2.59(a) and 2.71(c).
Mark Differs on Drawing and Specimen
The mark as depicted on the drawing does not agree with the mark as it appears on the specimens, and clarification is required. Specifically, the drawing displays the mark as “FIGHT CO”, and the specimen depicts the mark as “FIGHT CO.”.
Applicant must either:
(1) submit a new drawing of the mark that agrees with the mark as it appears on the specimen and that is not a material alteration of the original mark; 37 C.F.R. §2.72(a); TMEP §807.14(a);
(2) submit a substitute specimen that shows use of the mark as it presently appears on the drawing and is accompanied by a statement that “the substitute specimen was in use in commerce at least as early as the filing date of the application,” verified with a notarized affidavit or a signed declaration under 37 C.F.R. §2.20; 37 C.F.R. §§2.59(a) and 2.72(a); TMEP §904.09; or
(3) amend the application basis to intent-to-use under Section 1(b), and satisfy all the requirements for this new basis.
37 C.F.R. §2.51; TMEP §§807.14 and 807.14(a)(i).
