You state it as a fact...show the proof! Even, if Brooklyn has a connection...he is doing an awful job...LOL...and has obviously had no effect on the stock.
big deal...Company should focus on its own success which should trump the short...eventually
It appears that the real problem is being listed in Canada where Naked Short Selling is legal. Uplist...then De-list in Canada and avoid Naked Shorting...
There will be no court...at least a substantive basis for court action. Anyone can bring suit against anyone...it does not mean that there is a basis, or even the correct or the right thing to do.
Many don't like Brooklyn's negative comments, but few will man up and admit that they too are frustrated by the company's substantive performance and SP in relation to the expectations prompted by the company. (Let's face it, are you having fun again at $1.71?)
It would be more "becoming" of management to just do the job promised and get it done in a timely fashion, rather then setting up a "straw man" (Brooklyn) based upon his reasonable opinions (albeit negative at times) which were based in fact and voiced on these pages.
Management should put its positive energy, time, efforts and money into finishing the job at hand, then marketing, developing contacts and relationships with possible suitors, users and adopters of its technology...instead of trying to distract SH attention away from this criticism by creating in their minds that Brooklyn is a "boogie-man" from "dark side" and the recruited by or an agent of "Dark 'Naked Short' Thader".
The "proof is in the pudding"...concentrate on making good pudding...don't complain because you forgot to plug in the refrigerator and the temperature got too hot...it's not an investors obligation to plug it in...and he certainly has a right to complain about "warm" pudding.
Pinkie...Van has warned subscribers numerous times...if any stock ends up on the PUMPANDDUMP listing site...they are ineligible to become Big Stocks...for "HTFBS"...as others have said...its a "Warning" "stay away" list of stocks that have no merit.
If a company "pays to play"...they die as candidates...end of story.
A very valuable service..."PUMPANDDUMP" are the good guys..
Sons and Perker...thanks...
Perker...that was a 2007 article:
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/23/opinion/23tue3.html
Interesting ... do you have the editorial to post here?
streaming from the browser is already here
...they were talking about embedding as 1 -1 1/2 year away...maybe
...the non-development of the "embedding" technology application utilization is what Van was concerned about ... and now we know his concerns are well founded..."Dogs biting at DSNY's heels"
...there is a problem with only having 26 employees trying to compete again the cumulative developers from Google, Apple, Microsoft, Facebook, Adobe etc...they are not blind to what has to be done
...DSNY may have been working on it before and longer...there is no reason why the cumulative muscle of the others will not catch up quickly and in a slightly different way to get around "pending patents".
...IMHO...and others have suggested...if you can't do it faster and be first to market...you better join forces with a partner who can do it for you and you financially benefit from it, before others end up beating you to the punch.
DSNY has a virtual monopoly on PlayPME...but IMHO ... may not gain traction in time with Clipstream G2 and its added features ...time will tell.
(but IMHO...with a RS...its still appears to be a good Naked Short Squeeze play)
The Dogs are biting at DSNY's heals. (imho)
Unfortunately (IMHO) this video is simply verification that the long delays in DSNY getting it done...has provided others with the time to "catch-up" to DSNY...
IMHO...it is reasonable to question whether DSNY is on the verge of losing "first mover" status because of its painfully slow execution?
The interview talks of:
1."streaming from the browser" without plug-ins and
2. embedding into video "adding components and adding experiences via things like subtitling and metadata onto the video itself to allow people to actually click on items in the video, hotspots, have better navigation with the video experiences and, overall, engage the user much more"
Others are already onto #1...streaming from the browser...and it appears #2 is not far away...if not being worked on right now. How long will it take for Google (Chrome) to write code to implement #2?...my guess months, not years.
In the end...its all about securing land first (a/k/a customers). If someone comes out with a similar solution at a similar cost structure, they are not going to covert over. That is why "first mover" status is so important, regardless of how "different" you believe your "secret source" is. The customer only wants to know if it works and how much it costs...they are not interested in bragging rights on who has the most "clever" secret source.
I am not suggesting selling DSNY at this point. It appears to be a very viable "naked short" squeeze after the RS. (on faith and belief). After that, the question of "whether it is a 'solid' investment?", will be determined by DSNY's ability to "execute" in a timely manner...and that includes securing "land" as soon as possible.
Perhaps Van will fill in the "missing piece" for SPIHF when he releases his next newsletter 2.1.2014...hummm
Now above support, over the 20 SMA...on greater volume...
Setting up for next move up.
umiak...I believe Renee's question was whether "farmers" were XXII's (burdened) or independent growers...
Renne you state:
"Obviously they have been providing the Spectrum brand to the gov't and selling Redsun in Europe so they have to have some grow operation in house or outhouse."
Hopefully not "outhouse" grown...could be awfully stinky...
all kidding aside...I lived in southwestern Virginia for a while, in
the heart of "tabacci country"...majority of growers are independent growers who contract with various companies to grow their plants. Do not see XXII doing any differently. No expenses regarding land, equipment etc. They provide the seed and growers grow and harvest.
So long term investors of DNSY are probably confused as to why DSNY is not "responding" to company's jaw boning about the "mother of all squeezes"....just look at CANN.
Perhaps the difference is "faith". My guess is that CANN's short interest was verifiable and stated. (but only a guess) Whereas DSNY's is an "alleged" naked short. (but practically understood by investors and company...but not factually proven in terms of size and scope)...
So a hot "player" is going to look at the stats on DSNY and not discover this "huge" naked short...whereas with CANN the huge short interest might have been easily discernable.
In addition...DSNY has 3x the number of shares as does CANN. CANN has 15M shares issued and less in float, infinitely more easy to squeeze.
IMHO...the Hot Hands are expected to participate on a "leap of faith" and end up, if its a dud, with a RS on their hands...and we know where that usually ends up ...at least in their minds...
If there is anyway DSNY could verify factually the Naked Short Position...they could demonstrate to the Hot Hands that DSNY could achieve Huge SHORT SQUEEZE and they could gain the attention it needs to pull it off the price rise to $3.00 for 5 days, before the RS time. PROBLEM SOLVED!
...I know ... some are going to hate me for stating the obvious.
So question to Jacobs...is the target Canadian or US dollar. It cites ANY as the symbol ...but what happens if they also indicate or change the symbol to SPIHF?
Would like to hear their clarification...maybe they should give two different prices...like $8.50 USD $9.00 CAD?
"Clipstream-G2"...designating second generation of the original "Clipstream" platform.
Peter...not completely up to speed on that one
...a poster raised the issue of "negative shareholder's equity" as an impediment to uplisting for now...if so, IMHO that could be an issue which would have to be addressed
...but these exchanges make so many "exceptions" to their state "parameters for uplisting"...so who knows...
If the company has been in discussion...they know exactly what is needed and whether they are close and the timing.
IMHO...out "trader" friends are impatient and exiting ...only a positive for the share price movement...patience and knowledge of fundamentals are not their strong suits...
Petermax...they already have sales...and now they will be mounting )
Bottom line...SPIHF...already has a HUGE "sales force" via Overland/Tandberg and Corel... I spoke with the CEO of Overland in the fall at an investors conference in NYC...the margins are so great for SPIHF that they can significantly reward and motivate its "sales partners"...according to him..."it's huge" for Overland...
Nothing like a well rewarded and motivated sales force to "get'r done". IMHO...She will be running on all cylinders...
Looks like the rotation has run its course...unless something significant develops in anyone of them.
IMO xxii and our other disruptor...will reward us will steady building of the fundamentals...as seen with spiffy ugrade after the close yesterday
...IMHO next in line is XXII with significant news...and very shortly (in the next 7 days)...this of course based upon managements statements and its demonstrated execution...they do what they say, in the timeframe stated...
Dont forget VMware affiliation...and Overlands merger with Tandberg which was just completed today. I am sure it was not a coincidence that Jacobs was waiting for the merger to be complete looking at the reach of Tandberg not only with the companies they service but the countries they have penetrated:
"Tandberg Data Holdings S.à r.l is a leading global supplier of data storage and data protection solutions for small and medium-sized businesses, remote offices, departments and workgroups. Headquartered in Dortmund, Germany, Tandberg with offices around the world including the US, Japan, and France, and a manufacturing facility in China. Tandberg markets its solutions through a global channel of qualified resellers, distributors, and OEM manufacturers including Apple, Fujitsu, Toshiba, HP, Hitachi and NEC."
Bottom line...SPIHF...is hitting the ground sprinting...
don't believe it will retrace all the way...but IMHO the traders who bought it up will exit before it ever reaches $3...and probably here. Don't believe they really understand what is going on ... and will take profits and run...
if coming at all ...it will not happen until immediately before the announcement of vote for RS. IMHO it wont make it on its own...will need the "gun to head" of the RS.
...also said 1.30's ...and I bought in the low 1.40's...sorry to disappoint you.
interesting that Sykes takes payolla ... for his involvement...and it looks like "eyes" are on him...
"be careful...you might get what you wish for" ...
but point well taken...
Build up in Bid...could be foretelling...I would not be surprised if we get news this week...or anticipation of technical bounce off 20sma
The downside to having a bunch of traders in is that they have no knowledge of, nor do they care about the fundamentals...so when they have make their trade...they just want a relatively quick exit...
One good thing is they bought here or higher so their leader isn't likely to tell them to sell and get a blemish on his record...as long as the technicals hold up...
they will more likely be a "lucky" group...wondering why it spikes...when news comes out...perhaps then they would research to see what XXII is all about...
2.11 20SMA...close at or above it would be nice...continued support...but of course...inconsequential if there is an announcement
exactly what I said...unknown "naked" short position...being unknown...they can "tell" it was naked shorted but cant verify it with any evidence...i.e number of shares.
bought more on this dip...looking for opportunity for more
Agree Jockin...might be some Sykes club guys who just dont get it and it is a quick trade for them. But, we have 8 days for management to be within their prediction...so could have news any day. They haven't disappointed before...
ps...would not want to be out or low in the tank, when it hits. IMHO...not a time be going back and forth...between picks...
The old fashioned way...inform others (a/k/a pump it all over the place)...problem of course is that you attract traders who take profits and run...
Squeeze comes with a Reverse Split or $3 for 5 trading days...
But as van notes...its an "alleged" short...since it is a "naked" short that is presumed out there ...we dont have factual verification of the short or how many shares have been shorted...but very high likelihood and presumed in the multi-millions.
yes...I also anticipated a lot more
"hot money" will cut and run at anytime...they will read the tea leaves...for exit
Van's HTFBS is a screaming "buy" compared with Microcap Tech Trader "annual subscription"...nice piece of freight to play...they better be right...lol.
of if licensing deal with BT for ex-U.S ...then IMHO even bigger that VLN/FDA...no dealing with FDA and into the world market with VLN and marketing as such.
also...what FDA or MSA does or doesn't do ...does not affect ex-U.S. (world) market opportunities for XXII...
until the FDA gets a strangle hold on e-cigs and regulates them, then feds taxes them to oblivion..
...what makes you think feds would want to lose the revenue from cigarettes ....when they can simply make them safer...and without adding other issues and additional health hazards with e-cigs?

Another article: "Nearly half a million people will die from smoking-related diseases this year. Each day, more than 3,200 youths smoke their first cigarette. NEW PRODUCTS SUCH AS E-CIGARETTES, WITH EFFECTS THAT AREN'T YET UNDERSTOOD, COMPLICATE PUBLIC HEALTH ISSUES. And if current trends continue unabated, 5.6 million of today's children and teens will go on to die prematurely during adulthood because of smoking, the report found".
Sons..MSA admission would do all of that. Simply the opportunity to manufacture, distribute and sell these brands in the U.S under MSA agreement would achieve that.
Smokers would quickly learn, from the internet and E.U distribution, and not from the company's representations or FDA designation, that the brands are VLN and low Tar.
We only need the merger approved or Goodrich MSA acceptance and it all gets unleashed...as a "practical matter" and without FDA designation.
"Nearly half a million people will die from smoking-related diseases this year. Each day, more than 3,200 youths smoke their first cigarette. New products such as e-cigarettes, with effects that aren't yet understood, complicate public health messages. And if current trends continue unabated, 5.6 million of today's children and teens will go on to die prematurely during adulthood because of smoking, the report found."
Interesting Article...Nicotine levels in U.S cigarettes have gone up, not down...you would think FDA would be all over XXII and getting its products out on the market as an alternative...

Nicotine Levels In US Cigarettes Went Up 15% Between 1999 And 2011
MICHAEL KELLEY

"Thank You For Smoking"
Nick Naylor aka "The Sultan of Spin"
Nicotine levels in cigarettes went up 15% between 1999 and 2011, according to a study published this week in the journal Nicotine and Tobacco Research.
The data were collected from the annual report filed with Massachusetts Department of Public Health by four major manufacturers of cigarettes from 1997 to 2012.
“Young people could have an easier time becoming addicted to cigarettes the first few times they do smoke,” lead author Thomas Land, director of the Office of Health Information Policy and Informatics at the State Health Department, told Deborah Kotz of The Boston Globe.
From The Globe:
Each day, 3800 American teens try their first cigarette and 1000 become hooked, according to a 2012 Surgeon General’s report. Those who are unable to quit as adults will die, on average, 13 years earlier than their peers.
This is not the first study to find rising nicotine levels in cigarettes. In 2007, a Harvard study found nicotine levels had gone up by nearly 11% between 1997 and 2005, the Globe noted. Industry executives disputed the findings and attributed the increase to agricultural and rainfall variations that led to more concentrated levels of nicotine in tobacco crops.
But Land told The Globe that if that were the case, “we would have seen a similar trend of increased nicotine yield for all cigarette makers since they tend to buy their tobacco from the same regions. We did not.”
The study concludes that nicotine levels "are controllable features of cigarettes, and should be monitored and regulated by government agencies."
While federal law lets the FDA set new regulations to lower nicotine content, according to Kotz, he noted that the agency has not set new limits on the amount of nicotine allowed in each cigarette.
