NFL
I looked at this one
didn't see anything in the IBox
and on a brief perusal looked more like football pool talk...
I'll give it a shot there.
Thanks.
So is there a board just for talking about your favorite football team?
I did a search and everything was fantasy football
or a pool.
Am I reading it right?
The low is .51?
the high is probably a PR bubble effect....
Seems like some are nervous about it breaking below .50
Already did.
Maybe you should take notes next time?
You want me to repeat it?
Oh wait, that's right, you weren't at that meeting.
Well then, where the fair exchange of info?
You didn't bring anything factual to the table, only this rude demand.
not necessarily, but the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
Phone calls and letters seem to carry more weight than emails.
>if it was a scam the sec and or osc would suspend trading
Then your information is second hand at best
and therefore hearsay at best.....no facts in any of that.
I'd be more interested in exchanging factual real information
that is actually worthwhile to myself and other retailers,
information that is verifiable in some fashion.
What I believe has nothing to do with what I know.
Belief has to do with religion and faith.
Knowledge is another thing entirely.
My fact to offer is that we cannot seriously expect a FTXN
dividend paid by GFCI as there's no public proof.....yet.
If you desire knowledge of Federal actions, I suggest you
contact the Feds directly yourself and see if they'll talk to you.
>The only info I have is what I hav read on the MBs or what has been reportedly said by the PR guy in Vancouver, BC.
Are you aware of any dividend to GFCI shareholders
of FTXN and any timetable?
Could you share with the rest of us?
I sincerely doubt there's very many with the financial ability
and will to sue JD or GFCI. I'm extremely skeptical.
Usually only someone who's been through the process AND been
successful will actually follow through with something like
you suggest.
I imagine this is in part why the first group last year
backed down and didn't even follow through to a discovery.
A discovery at that time would have settled a lot of issues
and imo, would have relieved a lot of the tension and chaos
that has happened since then. That's water under the bridge now.
I agree though that if JD is concerned about GFCI shareholders
and share value, he should give us some news and show he's
not just giving all his attentions to FTXN or at least confirm
what connection(s) GFCI and FTXN have.
I agree BBB....
it's loose.
a little too loose, imo.
I would like to see something just a little more concrete
that would remove SH concerns. Something like, GFCI shareholders
are assured they are promised to receive a dividend in the
future in FTXN.
This would suffice for me.
Just something concrete to resolve the issue
and the only thing to decide is whether to remain long
in GFCI or lose patience and move on.
Until then we're in limbo.
It gets even better
when one wonders about GFCI and paid pumpers

Does or did GFCI have any of these?
They're getting the pumpers....

when
I've had a loser to unload, I usually wait for a high volume day.....
so I can get it over and done with....
BUT
considering the condition of JMCP trading....
you may be doing the best that can be done already
in spite of the higher cost to get rid of it.....
WRONG WRONG WRONG
volume of 6300 so far on FTXN
and those orders have to be called in.
I just got off the phone with both brokers....
They both said it's considered high risk and has
had irregularities in its trading so to protect
clients, they can only place orders by phone for now.
Maybe my brokers are looking out for me and doing their job.
It sounds like some have done the wise thing.
They lowered their risk in ACMG while retaining
their lottery ticket status.
They didn't sell it all....
and are looking for profit in other places.
It's the smart thing to do especially if they still have
some belief that ACMG may rise from the dead.
Now they can join the rest of us looking for the
12 in 5000 pinks that actually make it to the big leagues.
They're a bit tough to find as so many pinks falsely claim
to be one of the 12 in 5000....
GLTA
that was before.....
how about yesterday......?
yesterday was NOPE.
I actually did what I said and placed an order.
I just did it again with two different brokers
and BOTH said I would have to contact a broker.
and that was just two minutes ago.....
It means they have issues with it when they won't accept the order online.
Maybe tomorrow will be different......
When I sold they went fast....
it surprised me actually and made me feel lucky.
What's the point of these facts?
GFCI shareholders presently have no claim to FTXN do they?
These facts don't help if you want to buy shares through
your online broker.
Do the smaller shareholders have enough $ left
to even follow through with such an action?
It seems that they lost it all in GFCI.
Global Oil tools has moved on.
The only question left is what dividend we'll see.
FTXN is owned by Dial at the last presentation.
FTXN is a mirage at present for GFCI shareholders.
The father and son team posted how they were going to
make Dial pay and that came to naught, an empty threat.
It's looking more and more like the party's over.
If/when we get paid Global Oil Tools dividend,
that event will mark the final chapter.
My guess is we'll see a 75-1 or 100-1 dividend.
For every 75 or 100 shares owned of GFCI, we may get
1 share in Global Oil Tools.
and that will be that.
By what genuine authority or proof can anyone say
we'll see an FTXN dividend.
I went to buy some FTXN shares today online
and it said I couldn't place the trade online.
Thanks! BBB.
Tried buying some FTXN online today....
and that couldn't happen, said the trade had to be made
through a broker.
It wouldn't take the buy order.
So that leaves us looking for a dividend of FTXN shares from GFCI, right?
I'd be satisfied just to see a PR which moves us forward
from JD saying we'll see dividend shares in the future
for X reason(s). Then I would have some faith/hope.
Until then, I'm not going to get excited about the dividend idea.
"Opening transactions for this security must be placed with a broker. Please contact us."
I can't just place an online order to buy it.
I just tried and got this response.
That's NOT a good omen.
Of course you own some.....
that cat's been out of the bag for a while.
Do you always answer questions addressed to someone else?
My question was to BBB, not you.
The query you interrupted is related to a supposed GFCI
dividend payment of FTXN shares.
I say there's no real evidence to support such a dividend is forthcoming.
Until JD hands out a PR or something of merit which supports
the GFCI-FTXN dividend hypothesis, I'm skeptical of it.
You're posting like you already own
FTXN shares.....
Hmmmmmmm........interesting.....
The problem with all this news
is so far it means nothing to GFCI shareholders
who believe they'll get a dividend of FTXN shares.
There's nothing tangible to prove the connection.
I'm sorry but saying the answer is to complain, complain, complain
if GFCI shareholders don't receive a FTXN dividend
is simply not a solution of any consequence IMO.
that's east of the Mississippi
where they count every little bit
and east of the Rockies for sure......
wow.....
I'm going to run right out and buy
gazillions of shares of JMCP on this news.......
NOT.
unbelievable.......
it's a 4 point
they don't count both sides (all the points) out west...
brow point has to be over 1 inch to count as a point
and I don't see it on that one.....
Sounds like the problem is Etrade
doesn't keep up with the rest of the crowd...
Notice the same is true with other dividends paid lately....
in some other companies....
might be time for a new broker....
Already done several times.....
go back and read one of the posts....
it's done.....
The Contest.....
On the WBAM FM Morning Show in Chicago, the DJs
play a game with listeners called "Mate Match".
While on the air, the DJs call someone at random
and ask if they are married or seriously involved
with someone.
If the listener answers "yes", he or she is then
asked three highly personal questions. The person
is also asked to divulge the name of their partner
and their phone number. The DJs then call the
"mate", ask them the same series of questions,
and if their answers "match", the couple wins a
big prize.
Here's how a recent game went:
DJ: "Hey! This is Edgar on WBAM. Have you
ever heard of 'Mate Match'?"
CONTESTANT: (laughing) "Yes, I have."
DJ: "Great! Then you know we're giving
away a five-day all-expenses paid
trip to Orlando, Florida if you win.
What's your name? First only please."
CONTESTANT: "Brian."
DJ: "Brian, are you married or what?"
BRIAN: "Yes."
DJ: "Yes? Does that mean you're married
or you're what?"
BRIAN: (laughing nervously) "Yes, I am married."
DJ: "Thank you. Now, what is your wife's
name? First only please."
BRIAN: "Sara."
DJ: "Is Sara at work, Brian?"
BRIAN: "She is gonna kill me."
DJ: "Stay with me here, Brian! Is she at
work?"
BRIAN: (laughing) "Yes, she's at work."
DJ: "Okay, first question - when was the
last time you had sex?"
BRIAN: "She is gonna kill me."
DJ: "Brian! Stay with me here!"
BRIAN: "About 8 o'clock this morning."
DJ: "Atta boy, Brian."
BRIAN: (laughing sheepishly) "Well..."
DJ: "Question #2 - How long did it last?"
BRIAN: "About 10 minutes."
DJ: "Wow! You really want that trip, huh?
No one would ever have said that if a
free trip to Florida wasn't at stake."
BRIAN: "Yeah, that trip sure would be nice."
DJ: "Okay. Final question. Where did you
have sex at 8 o'clock this morning?"
BRIAN: (laughing hard) "I, ummm, I, well..."
DJ: "This sounds good, Brian. Where was
it at?"
BRIAN: "Not that it was all that great, but
her mom is staying with us for a
couple of weeks..."
DJ: "Uh huh..."
BRIAN: "...and her mother was in the shower
at the time."
DJ: "Atta boy, Brian."
BRIAN: "On the kitchen table."
DJ: "Not that great?? That's more adventure
than the previous 100 times I've done
it!! Okay folks, I'm going to put Brian
on hold, get his wife's work number and
call her. You can listen in."
DJ: "Okay audience, let's call Sarah, shall
we?" (touch tones.....ringing....)
CLERK: "Good Morning, Kinkos."
DJ: "Hey, is Sarah around there somewhere?"
CLERK: "Yes, just a moment."
SARAH: "Hi, this is Sarah"
DJ: "Sarah, this is Edgar with WBAM. We are
live on the air right now and I've been
talking with Brian for a couple of hours
now."
SARAH: (laughing) "A couple of hours?"
DJ: "Well, a while. He's on the line with us
now. Brian knows not to give any answers
away or you'll lose. Sooooooo... do you
know the rules of 'Mate Match'?"
SARAH: "No."
DJ: "Good!"
BRIAN: (laughing)
SARAH: (laughing) "Brian, what the hell are you
up to?"
BRIAN: (laughing) "Just answer his questions
honestly, okay? Be completely honest."
DJ: "Yeah yeah yeah. Sure. Now, I will ask
you 3 questions, Sarah. If your answers
match Brian's answers, then the both of
you will be off to Orlando, Florida for
5 days on us. Disney World. Sea World.
Tickets to the Magic's game. The whole
deal. Get it Sarah?"
SARAH: (laughing) "Yes."
DJ: "Alright. When did you last have sex,
Sarah?"
SARAH: "Oh God, Brian....uh, this morning
before Brian went to work."
DJ: "What time?"
SARAH: "Around 8 this morning."
DJ: "Very good. Next question. How long
did it last?"
SARAH: "12, 15 minutes maybe."
DJ: "Hmmmm. That's close enough. I am sure
she is trying to protect his manhood.
We've got one last question, Sarah.
You're one question away from a trip
to Florida. Are you ready?"
SARAH: (laughing) "Yes."
DJ: "Where did you have it?"
SARAH: "OH MY GOD, BRIAN!! You didn't tell
them that, did you?"
BRIAN: "Just tell him, honey."
DJ: "What's bothering you so much, Sarah?"
SARAH: "Well, it's just that my mom is
vacationing....
DJ: Come on Sarah.....where did you have
it?
SARAH: "In the ass....."
After a long pause, the DJ said, "Folks, we need
to take a station break"
that may explain
why they've remained so pissed at me....hehe
About 20-25 years ago
when my in-laws were still a pain in the ass......
well they decided they wanted to visit and be a pain....
now keep in mind, we have a bit of altitude here....
and if you're not used to it....booze hits a bit harder.....
So we lit up a fire in the firepit....
and of course they had to have the booze flowing.....
and they were staying in our other older house next door.....
well for one, I could always hold my liquor.....
and hold a lot of it.....
and of course they just had to keep up.....
and I was a most generous host offering a drink constantly....
and I made SURE I offered a mixed assortment.....
and we had plenty of wood for the blazing fire.....
Played some Gene Tracy and Jerry Clower for laughs....
and a lot of hooch was consumed that night at my expense....
well only at my financial expense.....
so between the beer, screw drivers, B&B, wine, and I forget what else.....
well....my inlaws got pretty wasted......
no actually......they were completely wasted.....crawling drunk...
and they crawled back in the dark to our old house about 2 a.m.
where they were to be sleeping....
and spent until morning puking until they swore
they were puking up butt hair.....
They finally showed their faces about 2 p.m. or so the next day
to which I promptly offered them a swig of my beer.....
and a cold greasy piece of KFC.....
only to watch them turn pale and run for the toilet.....
my wife was young and naive enough not to blame me
for their complete and utter misery....
The moral of the story:
don't get mad......get even...ESPECIALLY with In-Laws...
Old Rooster
A farmer goes out one day and
buys a brand new stud rooster for his chicken coop.
The new rooster struts over to the old rooster and says,
"OK old fart, time for you to retire."
The old rooster replies,
"Come on, surely you cannot handle ALL of these chickens.
Look what it has done to me.
Can't you just let me have the two old hens over in the corner?"
The young rooster says, "Beat it: You are washed up and I am
taking over."
The old rooster says, "I tell you what, young stud.
I will race you around the farmhouse.
Whoever wins gets the exclusive domain over the entire chicken coop."
The young rooster laughs. "You know you don't stand a chance old man.
So, just to be fair I will give you a head start."
The old rooster takes off running.
About 15 seconds later the young rooster takes off running after him.
They round the front porch of the farmhouse
and the young rooster has closed the gap.
He is already about 5 inches behind the old rooster and gaining fast.
The farmer, meanwhile, is sitting in his usual spot on the front porch
when he sees the roosters running by.
He grabs his shotgun and - BOOM - He blows the young rooster to bits.
The farmer sadly shakes his head and says,
"Dammit... third gay rooster I bought this month."
Moral of this story.... Don't mess with the OLD FARTS - age and
treachery will always overcome youth and skill!
Well now you have another true friend
your newborn son......
congrats.
You'd be very wrong on this count.
Those HLS restricted shares became restricted IDWD shares.
> My understanding is that HLS shares restricted have nothing to do with IDWD shares.
That was my thinking exactly
and it's going to be a short week next week.
so much to do...........
they should take the bag
set it on the porch of someone they don't like
set it on fire and ring the doorbell
and watch the fire get stomped out....
Go ACMG..............zzzzzzzzzzzzz
B-B-B-But
I'm over at the Dunkin Dognuts!
There's some creepy people here
and they don't look like ACMG shareholders.....
Well this is sure to make the evening news
before the smoke clears.....
Maybe Mgmt
has found fresh meat overseas
Go ACMG!
Yep
I'm having difficulty getting my one share certed.
