Dow getting creamed on chitty jobs report...
Not sure yet if I should be bottom feeding or retreating!
Freto, use some of ur firepower to blast thru that wall at .63 will ya!
Blue skies after that...
I think he said "mid-Jan", so probably at least another couple weeks...
I see some insider buying in late December at 4.00 on CATS, I expect it will continue up....
I think its gotta be up from here...
I'm not in...so easy for me to say. lol
I'd keep a tight stop on that 4.00
Hope you had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
in ASTM at .55 and GTOP at .73
No, just Cheeves deleting duplicate posts. Its all good.
Thanks for your updates Popeye.
Wishing a Happy and Prosperous New Year to you and your family!
Amen to That!
Happy New Year All!!!!
ASTM, looks like the bottom is in at .55
Solid Bid support...
Entered .555
GTOP setting up...
Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! I sure did!
Cheeves, Not sure whats gonna happen there, I dont see an R/S in the cards, the OS is less than 200Mil, and the good doctor's reputation is on the line. I think it could drift lower if no news comes out for a while, but once we hear any revenue numbers from the first store or any franchise announcements, it should heat up again quickly.
Its still a pink and you gotta be real careful...
Enter some GTOP this morning at (.73) looking for a little bounce.
Trying to find some undervalued (tax sell off) plays for Q1...
EVERYONE HAVE A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Reminder: Be sure to Dump any worthless dogs if your still holding, so you can reduce taxes on your gains. You need to do it soon in order for it to clear before year end.
Not much really, read the moderators handbook when you have some time to kill. I try not to delete posts, even if I completely disagree. Dont want to over censor things.
Dont mess up the ibox.
PizzaCow, I have added you as an assistant mod to the board.
Let me know if you dont want to be asst mod and I will remove you. I have been too busy to post regularly.
There has definitely been some interesting posts going on around here lately...
The typical pinkie board antics. Not surprising really.
Anyway, 2700 people at the grand opening. That to me is a success. I agree with comments that this store and this stock is still vastly unknown. As revenues start to get reported and as Dr. Ben continues to promote the Soda Shop and community involvement and empowerment, this will contine to grow.
I have a great amount of respect for the man. He has been able to deliver in less than 6 months, what no one else could in over 2 years. The first Hip Hop Soda Shop.
Big Kudos to Dr. Ben.
I am confident that other stores and the franchise will grow quickly and we will be hearing about this early in the new year.
The concept is solid, multiple revenue streams and huge growth potential.
There have been several posts about the company dumping shares, but the filings show that there has been NO DILUTION, not even into the run leading up to the grand opening. This is the key for me to hold my shares. They increased the OS by less than 14 mill in the last YEAR and nothing recently. So any and all posts about dilution are just pure fear mongering and have no merit in my opinion.
This is still a pink sheet company. The price will have huge fluctuations. MM manipulation is rampant on the pinks and even a legit stock will struggle to show consistency. Good to see the company making efforts to get filings in line. Hopefully the goal is to move up in exchanges quickly.
Even I had to laugh at some of the talk about MSFT buy out speculation. Although, I do believe that this stock could be a prime candidate for a buy out. It would be a fast track to a higher exchange and improve credibility, exposure and financial opportunities for H3 as a company. I am pretty certain it wouldnt be Microsoft, but there are plenty of other possibilities. Obviously, this is just speculation, but I could see it happening.
As far as the "incident" on opening night, who cares, I for one would be trying to capitalize on this, even bad news is good exposure for business. Clearly, H3 does not want to go this route. This is not what they want the HHSS to be about. (Although I could just see a stream of 18 year old white kids lining up to get inside in hopes of catching a glimpse of some "gangsta rapper" stand off). With any genre comes both the good and the bad. I'm sure that at some point in the Hard Rock Cafe's history, some hair band got loaded and fought some patrons or smashed some chit in the restaurant. These things happen...
Definitely disappointing to see the pps take such a huge nosedive on opening day, but many people playing the penny stock market get in and get out quickly and it was bound to happen when they exited.
I took a very small chunk off the table at .24, probably should have taken more, but I am and have been long on this stock for a long time. Lets see what happens when we get franchise news, buyout rumours or some biggertime mainstream celeb involvement.
I liked todays PR.
The best is yet to come for H3. Opening the first store was just the first step.
then why post it....some two bit white dudes blog...posted like its news or something....consider it deleted.
Thanks, great pics. Can I post some of them pics in the ibox?
I think we are gonna see a little pop here shortly, PPO/ADX pinching on the 15 min chart
Not sure why you would say that?
The OS was 170,738,000 on January 1, 2007. Its 183,896,993 as of Dec 5th. In the last year they increased by only 13 mil.
Expecting another PR later today....

NEW YORK, Dec. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- H3 Enterprises, Inc. (Pink Sheets: HTRE - News), the world's first publicly traded Hip-Hop company, announced today that it will be launching the nation's first HipHopSodaShop in Tampa, Florida on Tuesday December 18, 2007. The HipHopSodaShop franchise is the backbone of the H3 related businesses and encapsulates not only the numerous revenue streams that the company has developed, but also embodies the "community conscious" approach that H3 applies to all of its endeavors.
Dr. Benjamin Chavis, CEO and President, stated, "Tomorrow we are making Hip-Hop history. At the same time, December the 18th will mark the beginning of a new business franchise that will blend the worlds of Hip-Hip and Wall Street. We are about community economic development and the HipHopSodaShop represents the best of the positive attributes of Hip-Hop culture that will provide an entrepreneurial strategy to help our communities overcome poverty. Most record companies and leading artists 'drop' albums on a Tuesday. This Tuesday, H3 Enterprises is 'dropping' the HipHopSodaShop concept for the whole wide world to enjoy."
Keith Chutlian, Chairman of the Board, commenting on the historic grand opening tomorrow, stated, "H3 is the only business I've seen that blends culture, profit, and charity by bringing financial empowerment and giving back to H3 communities both on the ground and on the internet. We're creating a real and virtual way to focus the best of hip hop culture into an artistic, interactive, and rewarding experience. Our scalable model encompasses various sectors such as restaurants, entertainment, and technology in the U.S. and abroad to generate phenomenal growth."
The HipHopSodaShop comes complete with a healthy quick service menu, merchandising, a state of the art recording studio, 30 giant LCD screens, the latest Xbox 360 live video games, and a large area dedicated to competitive on-line video gaming. The first HipHopSodaShop is over 11,000 sq ft and is a modern day cultural arts center where many forms of Hip-Hop can be expressed by patrons and embraced by the community.
It's a recipe for success: combine popular music with healthful dining options and flavor with socially-responsible capitalism. The eclectic menu includes limited fried foods and no monounsaturated or polyunsaturated (trans) fats. The shop will feature "rap" sandwiches with few carbohydrates and a beverage line made with antioxidant-rich white tea and sweetened with chicory syrup instead of sugar. Clever monikers, sprinkled throughout the menu, are geared to strike a chord with diners while encouraging financial literacy.
The venue, which is less than a mile from the University of South Florida which has over 40,000 students, is located at 1241 East Fowler Avenue, Tampa, Florida. The 11,000-square-foot space has undergone renovations to become a full-service, conceptually-chic restaurant. It is equipped with a recording studio, multiple 4'x 5' video screens, tableside video-gaming apparatuses and a DJ/MC booth with surround sound. Targeted to a youthful demographic, aged 13-35, the restaurant will hold special events like open mic nights, live HD sportscasts, live outdoor concerts and cyber gaming. The store will also carry clothing, MP3 players and recorded music.

Yeah that would be really cool...
Hip hop artist Doug E. Fresh is still on the beat

Ashante Infantry
Pop & Jazz Critic
He hasn't released a record under his own name since 1995, but Doug E. Fresh is still hip hop's go-to-guy.
This year alone, the originator of the human beat box performed on the American Idol finale, hosted David and Victoria Beckham's "Welcome to L.A." party and Usher's wedding reception. He's now working on a VH1 reality show.
Doug E. Fresh Helps HipHopSodaShop Launch
By Rudy West
Hip-Hop veteran Doug E. Fresh has been tapped to perform at the grand opening of the first HipHopSodaShop in Tampa, Florida on December 18.
The world renowned beat boxer and MC will be joined by music mogul Andre Harrell, founder of Uptown Records and former CEO of Motown Records, as well as HipHopSodaShop CEO, Dr. Ben Chavis, who also heads up The Hip-Hop Summit Action Network.
"It's a privilege and an honor to have such Hip-Hop luminaries commit to our grand opening on December 18,“ Dr. Chavis stated. “It proves that the HipHopSodaShop franchise is receiving and will continue to receive this type of support from the Hip-Hop community. I will have more of the biggest names in Hip-Hop to announce real soon."
In related news, HipHopSodaShop’s parent company H3 Enterprises recently announced a developing partnership with Microsoft's Xbox and Games for Windows.
The two companies will explore building mutual partnerships related to H3’s utilization of Xbox 360 video games and consoles in HipHopSodaShop franchises, which will be built across the United States.
"As we prepare for the Grand Opening of our first HipHopSodaShop in Tampa, it is significant to state that we did have a productive meeting,” Chavis said. “We will now continue to take the appropriate steps to build an effective ongoing relationship with Xbox."
If you got that kind of cash to throw at this, then you could probably run it .28 on your own right now...
How did I miss our old friend IFNY....
Agreed, its holding up well...would like to see a little more buying before EOD to hold it at or above .21 and keep the chart looking good
:)

That is just wild speculation on your part, and in fact, the share structure as reported on Dec 5th shows that you are just plain wrong.
lol, yeah, so what?
Look at SIRI
Market Cap of 4.8 Billion and yet 1.32 Billion in debt.
The TA has been 'gagged' all year. Most TAs dont release the information and they advise you to contact the company directly. The share count on Dec 5th is the same as it was in September. So your suggesting dilution since December 5th? The stock performance doesnt 'suggest dilution'.
Look at the CMF on the chart. That is always a good indicator. If there was dilution CMF would not be at an all time high. People are accumulating shares.
Clearly you have no idea what you are talking about.
Your digging up a PR thats a year and a half old? lol
Dr. Ben came on board in June 2007, that is when this company started gaining credibility and showing some real management. An old PR isnt really relevant at this point.
The first HHSS is finally ready for a much anticipated Grand Opening on Dec. 18th.
Number of shares outstanding as of December 5, 2007 is the same as it was on Oct 19, 2007.
Yes, and yes...
You said the same thing after the last two red days (back around 11 cents) then look what happened.
Doesnt often have 3 red days in a row.
...Lets see what happens tomorrow. Support at .17
:)
By Definition a gap is a break between prices on a chart that occurs when the price of a stock makes a sharp move up or down with no trading occurring in between.
If you want to interpret a spike in price as a "gap", then go ahead. I'm not gonna continue to debate with you over a technical term. So, moving on...
OT: You should start here and learn about TA

There are lots of great boards on ihub to help you out, just gotta dig around and find them. Lets keep this board on topic with HTRE.
