I'll start looking into Red Falcon as soon as I get a chance. Might be a couple of days as I'm just finishing up a move.
I accidentally posted twice. I changed the duplicate to "Delete me." (I hoped one of the mods would remove the junk message.)
Nice call on XNYH. WAY up today.
Hmmm... somebody bailed. I wonder if I should put a bid in for anything lower.
CEO/COO better not be yankin' our chain.
[Delete me] (the message) :)
At least we'll have another newsletter from Sean. I'd like to see what he has to write about this next month...
Based on the PR, it has to be next week. Today is only 29 days. If I recall, tomorrow is the 30 day mark. Well, I guess it depends if you count the day of the PR. Technically, if you count the PR day, it's 30.
If it isn't next week, we'll need to hear from the CEO why we have a delay.
More waiting... :/
PUDC has been out of control last couple of weeks. Might still be something there.
Went from <$1.40 in mid Sep. to $1.90 today.
From what the CEO wrote back to you, that's what it sounds like. Seemed to imply today... any moment now, hopefully.
End of day trading is one of the most important times of the day... so I can see them logically releasing it in the last hour to drive the price up and keep it there over the weekend (unlike the brief one-day highs we've seen in the past).
Hmmm... looks like we'll have to wait another week? 1 hour left.
I'm watching like a hawk. Have the alarms to go off on my phone and everything else as soon as news hits!!
A gain of 1000%.
Let me rephrase my question. Any idea what the time frame is usually for a PR to be released in this situation? I'm assuming we aren't talking about years, but my lack of experience with shells leaves me in the dark.
A guess would help some of us understand what general time frame to expect.
AINI merged on 9/21.

This is definitely what we all wanted to hear. Anyone care to guess when the announcement will take place? Weeks/months/days?
This is the week!
I think it will be next week, but I'm hoping for this week.
I'm moving to Texas next week. So, I'm likely to be in a car a few days. I'll be trading from my cell phone! LOL
VRAL?
jeje, the volume on the last announcement was somewhere around 558,000. We just dropped 50% on 2K. That's nothing. If we get anywhere near the volume we had during the last PR, I can gaurantee you we won't be sitting at 0.025.
It's your money though. GL whatever you decide to do. I'm at least waiting for the merger announcement, which seems to be on track.
Interesting post on Meuse. Not saying it is accurate or anything but just something I ran across and figured I'd share:
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=15713416
This is from 12/2006:
"Watch out for Belmont Partners with Joe Meuse at the helm. He suckers Penny CEOs in giving him and Global Media Fund Millions of shares and ends up paying out $5,000- to $15,000 to NewsUSA to run a few ads. By the way these ads are sent out with the hopes of some free print of it. This is also why I look at PacWest transfer Agent as Joe Meuse is co-owner."
How much will 30Fold add to ValueSetter's baseline?
30Fold, ValueSetter's merging partner, currently boasts 7,000 members of their multi-level marketing bookstore concept. It seems the 30Fold CEO has vast experience with multi-level businesses (had quite a lot of success in France by supposedly building a 100 million+ business, see here: http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.asp?Message_id=22560414&txt2find=godzich ). 30Fold also anticipates their member base to grow to 180,000 in the next 3 years (see here: http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=22898561 ).
With that said, each member of 30Fold currently pays a one time start-up fee of about $200 and a monthly maintenance of about $10. (See here: http://30fold.net/How-to-get.htm ).
7,000 x $200 = $1,400,000 one time cost
7,000 x $10 = $70,000 / mo. or $840,000 / year.
I'm not sure if 30Fold makes additional money on each sale through the "bookstores," but I would assume so.
180,000 x $200 = $36,000,000
180,000 x $10 = 1,800,000 / mo. or 21,600,000 / year

I'll go ahead and repost this info. at the VSTR board too.
Only thing I can figure is the time frame. Some likely hoped it would hit sooner and are unwilling to wait.
I plan to wait and will even snatch up more when I feel like we're at the bottom.
Appreciate the great news, Starnes. Our patience here will definitely pay well.
Haha! I just about spit my lunch all over the screen. LOL
I have a feeling many people will be chasing this one.

Woah! 30Fold expected to grow to 180,000 members in 3 years!!?!? And ValueSetters expects to supply them with over 1,000 products! See below PR from last year. Says they plan to be functional with everything by early November. Seems they're on target...
On top of that, FY revenue expected to be $38 million this year and $72.6 million next!! (Notice the .6... these are intelligent estimates not just numbers they pulled out of a hat.)

Yes, I agree, that is a useful tool. However, it doesn't save all of the website. Only part of myotcbb.net is saved (first page). Also, I've noticed it has trouble saving certain things like wordpress blogs, etc. At least, it did with the DPBM blog.
What do you guys think of this one?
Deep Blue Marine (DPBM) CEO Wilf Blum has an interesting quadrangle of companies working together.
First, he is CEO of DPBM, a public treasure hunting company. DPBM chose Stock Information Systems (AKA SIS) as its investors relations group. Wilf owns SIS (website went down a few weeks ago, http://www.stockinformationsystems.com ). That's not so bad... but wait, it gets better. Wilf is also private owner of Alexander Lindale, which sponsors public companies (helps fund them). Alexander Lindale VERY likely received discounted shares to provide "funding" for DPBM. Alexander Lindale's old website has now disappeared (in July/August, http://www.myotcbb.net or http://www.myotcbb.com ). Before it vanished, it had DPBM as one of the sponsored companies. In addition to all of this, Wilf also created another company called Marine Equipment Leasing and Recovery. Apparently, Wilf bought boats with shareholder money and then somehow transferred ownership to his private Marine Equipment Leasing and Recovery company. PRs from 2006 indicated that DPBM bought the boats and not Wilf personally. Even if he did somehow originally purchase the boats with his Marine Equipment and Recovery company (his own money), for over a year now, DPBM leased these boats from him through that company.
Rumors are flying around, supposedly Wilf is saying that he doesn't care what the stock does because he's already made enough money to retire off of it! Another rumor is that Wilf has boasted he gets a huge tax write off if the company goes under this year (year 2 of operations). Of course, these are just rumors. Therefore, they hold no weight. However, what does hold weight are the numbers. DPBM is totally diluted. If I recall correctly, there are only 5 million shares left to distribute from the 500,000,000 A/S (494,923,790 O/S).
My hunch, and it is just that as this would be impossible to prove, is that Wilf sold tons of stock to his private Alexander Lindale company at a discount and then shorted DPBM into oblivion.

VSTR in <2 weeks:
-= Perfect INSANE STUNT BONUS! =-
Considering we're at what appears to be a 3 month low, I think everyone that's still here is down.
Yes... 0.02s last 2 days. Snatched up quite a few... I'm locked and loaded. Ready to see it burn rubber.
Well... this week went pretty well, but nothing you and Anthony don't already know about. Trying to consolidate my funds again to get ready for my next big DD run.
I want to hunt down a few smokin' shell plays. 1-2 only. Because I hate my money sittin' around for months on end. This VSTR stock has been SO BORING. LOL
In the middle of a move, though... and it is taking up too much of my time. I'm gonna be PI$$ED if I miss any massive take-offs.
HABE jumped up to 0.30s in the past couple of weeks. I saw it down at 0.026 earlier this week and almost had to jump in but my money is tied up in other stuff. I noticed AZRI had a nice jump today... wished I had saw that one coming...
Watching COPI closely...
Things are looking up! :)
65,000 items offered!
Subject: September Newsletter
September 7, 2007. Today the AP Business Writer and just about every other media reported the first decline in jobs in four years. The loss is attributed to the housing market, sub prime loans and a general slowing in the economy. AP stated :
Investors were unpleasantly surprised by the Labor Department's report that payrolls fell by 4,000 in August, the first decline since August 2003. The unemployment rate held steady at 4.6 percent as expected.
Wall Street has been awaiting the report as it tries to determine how well the economy is holding up under the weight of a faltering housing market, a rise in mortgage defaults and tightening availability of credit. While the report is backward looking and not predictive, investors regard it as an important reading of the economy's health.
The bad news is that job availability is tightening and the good news is that with planning you can increase your income or totally change the source of your financial dependency. In December I shared with you innovated ways that you could increase your income. Since then we have added some very strong vendors that make the December writing much more probable. Below are my suggested opportunities.
Existing Retailers - Convenience stores, dollar stores and rural general stores can increase their assortment where product may not be available from manufacturer's representatives. Most importantly, they can order big ticket goods on demand without having to inventory the product.
Service Storefronts - Restaurants, hair dressers, coffee shops and anywhere with consumer traffic can display a case of goods such as watches, knives, hardware or apparel. They can also print a catalog and custom order big ticket items such as plasma TV's without holding inventory. This could be very lucrative in inner-city and very rural locations.
Home Parties - Specialize in luggage, leather, health care or some other product. Again, any individual reseller can also print a catalog and custom order all the big ticket goods.
Swap Meets - Find an inexpensive location with good traffic and specialize in a line of product and custom order all big ticket goods. One recent trend I have noticed is sub-dividing old abandoned stores into 10x10 booths that are being populated with small independent merchants. These are in fact micro swap meets.
Garage Sales - If not prohibited by home owner associations or local code, you may be able to sell from a garage or out building, even the trunk of your vehicle.
Internet Sales - selling on eBay is becoming a matter of price search. He that has the lowest price gets the sale. Margins and have been driven down to almost nothing and this method of selling is slowly disappearing. You can however buy something like Whittier Wood furniture and then paint or finish it and resell it at a profit.
Association Sales - Get your school or sports organization, neighborhood association, church group and others together and take orders. I suggest that you not try to sell the world of product but specialize in appliances, music, hardware or other category. You can custom order much of this.
At work - Let it be known that you are a ValueSetter reseller.
Installers and Handymen - ValueSetters has recruited a cabinet manufacturer, a sprinkler manufacturer, a spa manufacturer and a building maintenance products supplier. Here you can make income from markup on the product as well as installation income. These products will appear in the next month.
Innovative Entrepreneurs - The number of different ways to go to market are endless. You are smarter than me so be inventive, go out there and create an environment where you can take advantage of the current 65,000 items we offer.
I wish you well and remind you that the power of success is always in the hands of the individual.

CEO ValueSetters
Oh yeah... more 0.02s!!
I'm doing more research before I drop any more into this. This stock is extremely low priority for me compared to my others. It doesn't seem to be going anywhere any time soon. So, I'm comfortable revisting this next week or the week after. At that point, if something turns up in favor of this stock's future, you will see volume, rest assured.
