He certainly does. And they're getting worse, not better.

lol, definitely!!

Look at this post: It was changed from "Expert Market" to "Expert Restricted Market" today:

https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=175276421

And no, not "every security" should be allowed to trade freely. We have the SEC and other regulators to stop them if they're found to be providing no disclosure at all, or running scams. The SEC exists because before the crash of 1929, issuers were not required to make any kind of disclosure. It was decided the public needed to be protected.

The SEC is going after crypto stuff, a great deal of which is just junk.

The Expert (Restricted) Market is just a bunch of Grey Market stocks. But Greys could trade, though in a limited way. Since Rule 15c2-11 was amended, the only trades allowed by U.S. brokers are liquidations. No one seems to know who's responsible for that. But on this board, we do have one Canadian "investor". Some others still own stock they've had for years, but they aren't buying more,

Yes. I suppose she thinks it's "original".

So sorry, but a miscarrage is not an abortion — only stupid people would call it one...

So should I believe you, or the Cleveland Clinic?

What is a miscarriage?

A miscarriage (also called a spontaneous abortion) is the unexpected ending of a pregnancy in the first 20 weeks of gestation. Just because it’s called a “miscarriage” doesn’t mean you did something wrong in carrying the pregnancy. Most miscarriages are beyond your control and occur because the fetus stops growing.

Sue the doctor? It's not the fault of the doctors. It's the fault of new state aborttion laws. This woman and eight others are now suing the State of Texas for what happened to them:

She was denied an abortion in Texas - then she almost died

You badly need to get out from under that rock...

Megyn Kelly’s children are named Yates, Yardley, and Thatcher. As someone on twitter said, they sound like overbred beagles who are competing in the Westminster Dog Show! 🤣

I wonder if Thatcher was named for Margaret.

Two weeks old: Trump aide Corey Lewandowski said to have lost campaign power struggle

Yes. He started out strong, but faded fast.

OTCMarkets announced they are getting rid of the Pink Current tier and moving to what they call the "Basic Market", which supposedly will require greater levels of disclosure.

Something interesting about that. I went to the OTCM link for it today. I posted the relevant part here, on the CRGP board:

This was the quotation:

In July 2025, Pink Current will become OTCID – a Basic Reporting Market for companies that meet a minimal current information standard and provide management certification, without the qualitative standards of our OTCQX and OTCQB markets.

Engaged, transparent and compliant companies are better for public markets.

Issuers that do not provide updated information, ongoing reporting and the required management certifications will see their securities transition to the Pink Limited Market or to the Expert Restricted Market, whichever is applicable. This will make it clear that the issuer has no ongoing relationship with OTC Markets Group, while still allowing broker-dealers to serve clients willing to trade these securities. The “Pink” branding is well suited to warn investors of the potential for market imperfections, issuer information asymmetries and other risks of these orphaned securities.

https://blog.otcmarkets.com/2024/10/14/the-evolution-of-the-otc-market-introducing-otcid/

And then someone on the board noticed that it had been changed:

Dang it they edited the article: “to the Expert Restricted Market, whichever is applicable” wasn’t there before

https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=175284464

And he's right, though I can't prove it. In the past, and on 17 October, when they published that on their site, it was always called just the "Expert Market", not the "Expert Restricted Market".

So when in the past week did that change? Who'd they get a call from?

Yes, you're right. They've never called it the "Expert Restricted Market' before.

I wonder who they got a call from. The SEC or FINRA?

And now we have ANOTHER problem. Can you explain why the posts on this Message List are not in chronological order???

https://investorshub.advfn.com/OTC-Markets-Group-Inc-OTCM-2049

Am I seeing things? Or not seeing things? Is it that for some reasons stickies there are not highlighted?

So is anything going to be done about the problem of posts from BlueSky?? Here're more:

Yes, BlueSky is growing. Trouble is, when you post links here, they're embedded, but they drag a shitload of raw code here with them. Look above the post with the BlueSky link.

And it may carry over to this reply.

I've asked the IHub Geeks if they can fix it.

Nailed indeed!!

"The Gaza Arabs lost the right to be here ever, so they will go to the different countries of the world.”

Just as the Jews once did. It's the same story. How deeply ironic that so many right wing Israelis apparently don't see that. Or is it that they don't care?

Thanks. Good news, but we also need for Trumpty to LOSE, and lose big.

Why must Harris be 'flawless' while Trump goes 'lawless?'

Jones is absolutely right. I watched the Town Hall, and it pissed me off, too. There were some good questions from the audience, but there were also niggling complaints about policy issues Anderson Cooper and the questioners for some reason considered worth putting Harris on the spot for.

Why do they apparently not realize the choice is between an imperfect but reasonable person and a FASCIST who admires HITLER??? THAT is a question Anderson should have asked.

I beg your pardon??? OTCM has SAID what it plans. And OTCM cannot just do what it damn please, as you appear to believe it can. It, like the companies that are its clients, is subject to SEC regulation. Whether it, or the companies, are SEC reporters or not.

What OTCM says is very specific. It has to be, because its announcements must be legally permissible. The law demands very specific language that is not susceptible of multiple definitions.

I'll repeat my suggestion that you take the trouble to understand how all this works.

"These" what "come off" the expert--really the Grey--market for what reason?

CRGP makes NO DISCLOSURES WHATSOEVER. It will not be moved to Pink Current. OTCM SAYS SO:

Issuers that do not provide updated information, ongoing reporting and the required management certifications will see their securities transition to the Pink Limited Market or to the Expert Restricted Market, whichever is applicable.

https://blog.otcmarkets.com/2024/10/14/the-evolution-of-the-otc-market-introducing-otcid/

Your initial claim was that it would happen in connection with the changes to come next July.

I'm afraid that won't cut it, either.

What are you talking about?? You said it would return to the Pinks, because OTCM would restore it to current information. That will not be happening, because CRGP does not qualify.

Its revoked corporate registration is an entirely different issue. Although OTCM does say that Pink Current issuers must comply with all relevant federal and state laws.

Should get back to Pink trading again in 2025 with the new OTCM changes coming into play next year.

And why on earth do you think that? This is what OTC Markets Group says:

In July 2025, Pink Current will become OTCID – a Basic Reporting Market for companies that meet a minimal current information standard and provide management certification, without the qualitative standards of our OTCQX and OTCQB markets.

Engaged, transparent and compliant companies are better for public markets.

Issuers that do not provide updated information, ongoing reporting and the required management certifications will see their securities transition to the Pink Limited Market or to the Expert Restricted Market, whichever is applicable. This will make it clear that the issuer has no ongoing relationship with OTC Markets Group, while still allowing broker-dealers to serve clients willing to trade these securities.

CRGP will not be going anywhere.

Oh, by the way, Calissio's Nevada incorporation has been REVOKED.

You'll have to look it up yourself; the NVSOS no longer lets one copy URLs to specific pages.

I still think this is an intermittent network issue.

It's a lot less intermittent than it used to be.

Hallmark Accused of Wanting to Replace ‘Old People’ Like Holly Robinson Peete & Lacey Chabert

I've never heard of either of them, but age discrimination is illegal. Not that it doesn't happen, of course. It happens all the time. Naturally you can't hire a 60 year old to play a 20 year old in a movie, but if they're talking people in other kinds of jobs, then Hallmark should lose this suit.

Have you seen this? It's absolutely sickening. These people--Tucker Carlson included--have lost their minds:

Tucker Carlson Gives Truly Disturbing Speech About “Daddy” Trump

These are real quotes from a real speech Tucker Carlson gave at a Trump rally.

Speaking at a rally on Wednesday night, Tucker Carlson likened Donald Trump to “daddy” and described him coming home angrily to give a “bad little girl” a “vigorous spanking.”

[...] Carlson then launched into a Freudian soliloquy by listing made-up scenarios of parents being too permissive, as a metaphor for how he sees America. If you allow a baby to smear poop on the walls or a “14-year-old to light a joint at the breakfast table,” or, he continued, “if you allow your hormone-addled 15-year-old daughter to slam the door of her bedroom and give you the finger, you’re going to get more of it.

“There has to be a point at which dad comes home. Yeah, that’s right. Dad comes home. And he’s pissed. Dad is pissed,” said Carlson. “He’s not vengeful. He loves his children. Disobedient as they may be, he loves them. Because they’re his children. They live in his house. But he’s very disappointed in their behavior. And he’s going to have to let them know.” The crowd of thousands went wild for his comparison, chanting “Daddy’s home” as Trump took the stage. Talk about weird. And Carlson, again, didn’t stop there.

“When dad gets home, you know what he says? ‘You’ve been a bad girl. You’ve been a bad little girl, and you’re getting a vigorous spanking right now. And no, it’s not going to hurt me more than it hurts you. No, it’s not. I’m not going to lie. It’s going to hurt you a lot more than it hurts me. And you earned this.’”

https://newrepublic.com/post/187485/tucker-carlson-daddy-trump-spanking-speech

Beats me.

“He gets to be lawless, she has to be flawless. That’s what's unfair. That's what's unfair tonight,” said former Obama White House official Van Jones. “They're not taking the same exam. Look, she has policies, she may not articulate them perfectly every time…but she’s fighting for actual ideas that will help real people and he’s talking about people’s penises, and so they are not taking the same exam and that’s pissing people off – it’s pissing me off.”

Jones is absolutely right. I watched the Town Hall, and it pissed me off, too. There were some good questions from the audience, but there were also niggling complaints about policy issues Anderson Cooper and the questioners for some reason considered worth putting Harris on the spot for.

Why do they apparently not realize the choice is between an imperfect but reasonable person and a FASCIST who admires HITLER??? THAT is a question Anderson should have asked.

No company is claiming to cure Alzheimer's. But the FDA has cleared a number of new treatments recently:

Alzheimer's: Are newly approved drugs making a real-life difference?

After a lull of nearly 2 decades, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved some novel drugs for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease since 2021. Most of these drugs are antibody therapies targeting toxic protein aggregates in the brain. Their approval has sparked enthusiasm and controversy in equal measure. The core question remains: Are these drugs making a real difference? In this Special Feature, we investigate.

And then there's this:

Three promising drugs for treating Alzheimer's disease bring fresh hope

Of particular interest:

Semaglutide is a medication primarily known for its use in managing type 2 diabetes and, more recently, aiding in weight loss. It's sold as a pill and marketed under the brand names Ozempic and Wegovy. Research into people taking drugs like semaglutide for diabetes showed that they had a reduced risk of developing dementia. This led to clinical trials to test the potential role of semaglutide in helping to treat Alzheimer's disease.

Semaglutide works by mimicking a natural hormone in the body that stimulates insulin production and reduces blood sugar levels. Scientists believe that this mechanism might also be beneficial for the brain. By improving insulin sensitivity and potentially interacting with receptors involved in learning and brain cell protection, semaglutide could potentially slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease.

She also does shorter commercials. I've seen some for the "dump" recipes, usually late at night.

I suppose it'd at least be pretty safe for them, as it doesn't entail using the stovetop. The kids could just put the ingredients on the parchment and wrap up the package, and Mom or Dad could put 'em in the oven, and take them out.

The packages, not the kids.

What is an "anamoly"? Do editors exist anymore?

I believe their numbers have been drastically reduced. But in this case, the error seems to have been Intelsat's, not CBS's:

The Intelsat 33e satellite, which was launched in 2016 and provides communications across Europe, Asia and Africa, experienced "an anomoly" on Saturday, Intelsat said in a news release. Attempts were made to work with Boeing and repair the satellite, but on Monday, the U.S. Space Force confirmed that the satellite had exploded.

And in fact when I copied and pasted that, spellcheck corrected the misspelling. I had to change it back to make my point.

That's interesting. I was also unaware of it. A reminder that Iran was once a pretty normal country.

As I once was the Jews who ended up in Shanghai as a result of Hitler's persecution of them. I first learned of it on a transatlantic flight when I was seated next to a man who'd been one of them. He was a kid at the time. After WWII ended, his family was able to emigrate to the States, thanks to relatives who lived here.

I don't remember how the subject came up; he seemed like a thoroughly ordinary American businessman from the midwest, not someone with an exotic and dramatic past...

Maybe the dog tags were her husband's, and she murdered him to be free to spend the rest of her life with Trump.

tell those women bleeding out in the parking lots about the pill -- and, though it's being kept real quiet -- there is an abortion pill being made to sell over the counter for the women late on their monthlies

You are STILL not GETTING IT. Those women bleeding out wanted the the potential children they were carrying. But they miscarried, most fairly late in their pregnancies. Since late term abortions were illegal in these cases, and since a miscarriage IS a spontaneous abortion, they did not get what they needed, which was a quick D&C. Instead, they got no treatment. Some got sepsis. Others aren't sure they'll ever be able to get pregnant again.

And the people who voted for these evil laws were in considerable part MEN LIKE YOU, so ignorant they don't even know how any of this works. Did you see the moron in Congress who suggested that problematic pregnancies could be diagnosed by one of those tiny cameras that are used for colonoscopies? The cretin was unaware women don't poop babies out of their rectums.

As to your personal history, mine is not dissimilar. I was born before the Pill existed. People began to use it in the early 60s. But it was largely unavailable to teenage girls. A lot of men don't like to use condoms. When I was in high school, a girl in the class ahead of me "got in trouble." She and her boyfriend were really in love--I wonder how that turned out a few decades later--and both had planned on college.

But she was PREGNANT!! So she had to be thrown out of high school. That's how they did it back then. Needless to say, the boy did NOT get the boot.

Roe v Wade decriminalized abortion, and made it safe and easy. That was in 1973; I'd been out of college for three years. I never needed an abortion--even though contraception does sometimes fail, despite the best intentions of the couple using it--and I was glad of that. But I didn't have to worry about what might happen if I were to get knocked up.

Interesting story. What a creepy cult!

Yes. Sometimes, but not every time, the code stays at the top, above a post that doesn't contain the original link. That has to do with BlueSky.

Meatloaf has his hands full, I think.
