http://ih.advfn.com/p.php?pid=nmona&cb=1245779583&article=38342150&symbol=NB%5EARTI
Artfest International CEO Edward Vakser has also announced via previous PR, that a major acquisition will be announced by the end of the month. Not positive that today's conference call will include that announcement, but he has invited all investors to an open house today to be present for the conference call, and has also open this via telephone. Seems very possible...
The dial-in number to listen to the Artfest International Nationwide Teleconference today at 4:15 pm EDT is 800-871-9060, access code 943301958#.
Chris
I hear ya, I wasn't suggesting that anyone go pump ARTI, just saying, that some of my friends in those stock chatrooms were unaware of the conference call and upcoming acquisition news...
Chris
Agreed, spreading the word as not everyone knows of the conference call and possible acquisition announcement...
Feel free to stop in these chats and pass along some info:

The MDM is pleased to announce that in addition to Aouvier, EDWARD STEVENSON has joined the board as an assistant moderator!
Edward is known to many of you following the ARTI boards here, and I can tell you from my phone conversations and private messages that he will be a valued participant in the MDM.
His DD is solid, and he will be an asset to our tem. Take a minute to welcome him!
Chris
Am I being demoted? LOL
Good to see ya Edward!
Chris
VERY NICE CLOSE HERE GUYS!
I think we must be VERY close to CSD acquisition PR...
Last 3 trades:
1.585 million bought at .0034 - 15:45
1.585 million bought at .0034 - 15:59
100k bought at .0035! - 16:00
"Rain Ball: I had an open order at .0036 with 170k for like 4 minutes." - And didn't fill yet
Can't wait to look for a PR in the morning!
I'm guessing our acquisition news is coming...
a 1.585 MILLION SHARE buy just hit the ARTI ask!
Apparently, someone knows something 15 mins before close...
Chris
I know...sorry I didn't mean you... but if these guys want to see their stock increase, you can't buy at the bid...
BUY and SELL at the ask... then you'll see your increase...
Chris
The "MMs" MUST be holding us back... Hell, if you buy at the bid, YOU'RE holding us back, not the MMs...
Very nice 50k buy, 50k buy and 480,000 share buy on ARTI last 3 trades
*****All previous posts included in STW List*****
Hi guys... I just wanted to let you all know that the very first Million Dollar March "Top 10 List" list has now been posted to the main board page (http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/board.aspx?board_id=15517)!
You will also see that this morning, the "Stocks to Watch" list has also been updated for our July 6th play.
We now all have 2 tasks at hand. First off, from the "Top 10" list, we all need to dig a little deeper on those 10 stocks and post DD to the boards. This is important as this weekend, from Friday through Sunday, the team will vote from those 10 stocks and choose our play for June 29th!
Secondly, as we all did the very basic DD on the "Stocks to Watch" list last week, we need to do the same for the new list so we can vote this weekend on a "Top 10" list for our July 6th play.
So here's my suggestion: On the MDM main board, each one of us should take either 5-10 stocks from the "Stocks to Watch - July 6th" list (in order) to perform some basic DD on. The stocks all have a number next to them in the spreadsheet.
Before selecting your stocks, look at the message board to see where we stand. Let's just take them in numeric order.
Post a message to the message board stating (for example) "Stocks #2-12 will be DD'd by Joe Schmo" ... That way, the next member of the team knows that those are accounted for and that the next "number" is 13. I would suggest either 5-10 stocks from each one of us...
Please post your findings on the stocks you research on the board using the method shown here: http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=38780481. You may find that there is no need to further look into a stock, or you may find that we are sitting on a gold mine. Whether or not you find a ton, please post ANY findings (including "Nothing Going Ons" to this board.
If you have any questions, feel free to post to this board, or email cherman99@aol.com and we'll get them answered.
Thanks in advance. The march begins soon!
Chris
ARTI up 19.35% on today's PR! Very good PR - setting us up for our CSD announcement in the next 7 trading days VERY NICELY

BBDA mention in stock newsletter
Just wanted to share the section on BBDA that was sent out to my investor email list tonight...
Chris
My second play, BBDA...
BBDA remains an accumulate and hold for me, as I remain of the belief that eventually, this one will blossom into something special. As I have stated numerous times before, do not enter this stock in hopes of a quick flip, as it has been sitting at it's current levels for quite some time.
BBDA did not release any press releases last week, holding true to Brian Weber's statement that he will not manufacture news, and press releases will only be issued when news has been made...
With all the hard work going on behind the scenes at BBDA, I would however, expect a release or two on this one this coming week as production and distribution of Piranha Water is currently happening and we get closer and closer to news on Koma Unwind.
It is also quite possible that this week we see numbers released from last weekend's 116th Street festival as to sales, or samples given away. According to Weber, paperwork has been re-sent to pinksheets so he is working hard to get that site, as well as the BBDA websites current and up-to-date.

ARTI mention in stock newsletter
Just wanted to share the section on ARTI that was sent out to my investor email list tonight...
Chris
MY PLAYS:
Starting with ARTI... the reason that most investors in this newsletter have entered a position in ARTI is the acquisition of Charity Sports Distributors (CSD). Per ARTI's press release (http://www.marketwire.com/press-release/Artfest-International-Inc-1000575.html) ARTI has said that CSD will be completed and announced via PR by the end of the month... "as we proceed to finalize the acquisition of CSD within the month." It is my estimate that the CSD acquisition and the 3.3 million per year in revenues they will bring ARTI, will propel this stock to the .03-.05 range within a day of its release.
Next week marks the last "full" week of the month, with the following week only being Monday and Tuesday the 29th and 30th...
In response to my email asking if CSD and that PR were still on that time frame, Edward responded "Everything is on schedule and ready to launch." The timing has never been better to be holding, or entering ARTI. Also this week, ARTI put out 2 press releases...
06/18: Artfest International, Inc. Has Secured the Licensing Rights to Rhupert, a Character Created by the Internationally Acclaimed Artist:
http://ih.advfn.com/p.php?pid=nmona&cb=1245508617&article=38290276&symbol=NB%5EARTI
From this release:
- Artfest International, Inc. (OTCBB: ARTI) is pleased to announce that the Company has secured the licensing rights to the ostrich character, Rhupert, created by D. Arthur Wilson.
- Rhupert was just approved to be the official logo and D. Arthur Wilson, the official artist, for World Peace Project.
- Artfest International, will fund and produce four, 30 minute, pilot episodes of Rhupert.
- The official release of the children's book titled: "Little Red Rhupert," which was written and illustrated by D. Arthur Wilson, will occur at Artfest's second "Sizzling Summer Saturday" art extravaganza.
- "I believe that Rhupert has the potential to be the next Barney the Dinosaur phenomenon. The character Barney and his ancillary products were generating royalties of $250 million per year in the early 1990s," stated Edward Vakser, Artfest International, Inc. CEO.
- Artfest International, Inc. will be hosting a nationwide teleconference June 23, 2009. There is expected to be a high demand for the call-in lines for this Nationwide Teleconference and space will be limited. Please call 1-407-389-5900 to reserve your place and receive the information that will enable you to participate in the conference. In addition, Artfest invites you to email a question to info@artfestinternational.com; a select number of submitted questions will be answered during the Nationwide Teleconference.

http://ih.advfn.com/p.php?pid=nmona&cb=1245508617&article=38238308&symbol=NB%5EARTI
From this release:
- Artfest International will also be hosting its second "Sizzling Summer Saturday" art extravaganza at the Company's 52,000 square foot Expo Center in Dallas Texas. The event will take place on June 20th, 2009 from 11 am to 7 pm.

- "Artfest Expo Center has been opened for over a month, and the staff had a chance to 'tweak' the center and I'm extremely pleased of the progress as well as the development. This 'Formal' launch and opening to the Public will firmly position Artfest in the marketplace and will position us as a premier art and memorabilia supplier to the world," stated Edward Vakser, Artfest CEO.

Thanks, gonna truly be a team effort and work in progress as we all have input throughout the program... Was pleased with those who jumped on with the first bunch of DD thus far, and am excited to see the results of the voting to narrow to a Top 10 list...
Next week we'll dig deeper in those 10, and select the first play for the week after!
Feel free to post any potential plays, any DD and vote in the "surveys" even if you aren't ready to jump on board right away!

BBDA Race pics... Not the best as a had to pause the television and take with my camera phone, but from today's event!
Masko - thanks for the great questions! Let me start by saying that you are dead on in your assumption that our program will indeed "need some tweaking as it goes along."
To answer your questions...
1)If a stock the board enters begins to decline during the week, will there be an exit point and if so, will it be an agreed upon % loss? Also, if there will be an exit point, will the teams exit be strategically executed as to not adversely affect longs in the particular stock?
Prior to each pick being announced, the MDM team will first comprise an initial "stocks to watch" list, perform basic DD on that list and then select a "Top 10" list. That "Top 10" list will be scrutinized and DD'd by all, before we vote on our play... That being said, I believe we will have a very solid chance of finding a stock with good volume and a good chance of hitting our 15% target in the week that we play it. As far as us picking a stock that begins to decline, I know I personally will be monitoring the charts and L2's on any stocks that we select, and I'm sure that you, and others will be doing the same. In the beginning, I guess I see this to be looked at by a case-by-case basis, although we can always implement a stop-loss at 10% or whatever number the team decides, if that's something we (as a group) feel we need to do. As for our exit adversely affecting the longs, as our size of investment increases, the stock picks will need to be adjusted accordingly as we do not want to create an artificial spike upon entering, or drop when exiting our plays.
2) Is there someone on board who is experienced in charting? Someone with verifiable charting experience.
I will leave this question open for other "members" to answer individually. I know that I feel pretty comfortable in chart reading, have seen your explination based on charts as very solid, and believe that AOuvier is also pretty good. With already 38 boardmarks and others following, it is my belief that chart reading should be well-represented.
3) I notice you have 5k max buys once the team reaches that level. are those multiple buys of the same agreed upon stock for that week or are there going to be multiple plays that week?
The idea at the levels that you are asking about, are kind of answered in my response to #1. They are slated to be multiple plays as we do not want all of our eggs in one basket, nor do we want to create artificial spikes or drops upon entering and exiting a play.
Note: Once the group aquires large sums of capital, they will be influencing stock prices in a major way. What is the strategy in plays at that point. lets say the group has 20 solid players @ 50k a piece. that is an instant influx of 1M in capital excuted by this group. that amount will have an instant effect on pps in pennyland, in fact 20 people with 10K a piece will be significant in pennyland. so i guess my question is: when the group gets their capital above 25K in each individuals online broker account, will the strategy of the group change from a play a week, to a play a day or possibly 2 days. with the groups influx of money, I'm sure it will inflate the price of a penny stock as soon as they enter.
In terms of large sums of capital and a large number of us playing these stocks influencing stock prices, that too was something that we saw as happening. As stated above, as our capital increases through this program, I think we will all agree that we will need to move away from only playing penny stocks. In your example, with 20 players at $50k each (equalling $1 million), we would essentially be buying many of the penny stock companies with market caps lower than $1 million. So that being said, as our capital increases, we will eventually need to start playing the big-board stocks, and will most certainly need to make selections with a dramatically higher PPS, market-cap, and volume.
Again, THANK YOU for posting these questions, as it gives all of us something to think about. The program was originally something that AOuvier and I did alone, but we both agreed that the team aspect would work better for all of us...
That being said, you're dead on my friend, MDM will need tweaking each step of the way, and posts like this will only make that tweaking easier and more successful for all of us and MDM!
Have a great trip... Will see you on Monday!

Million Dollar March: VOTING Now Open!
Hi guys, just wanted to take a minute to let you all know that voting is now open to narrow down our initial "Stocks to Watch List" to our "Top 10." Voting will remain open through late Sunday night when the votes are tabulated and our "Top 10" list is announced. We want your vote whether you've posted to the board yet or not! To cast your vote for your favorite 5 stocks from our list, visit:
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/do_board_survey.asp?board_id=15517&Survey_Num=2
On Monday morning, the Million Dollar March will reveal our "Top 10" list that we will begin doing further DD on before voting next weekend on our first play which will be released on JUNE 29TH 2009! Monday will also be when the "Stocks to Watch" spreadsheet is refreshed, stocks of no interest will fall off, and our screener will add new ones. Once that list is posted, please pick 5-10 (in order - and post your selections to the board) to perform BASIC DD on and post that DD on the board... This will be a weekly occurence.
Top 10 Vote - Voting Open June 19th - 21st Survey
VOTING FORMAT: The list of stocks was too long, so it has been broken in 3 parts...
Question 1-2: From the first half of the ENTIRE stock list (on spreadsheet), select your favorite two stocks.
Question 3-4: From the second half of the ENTIRE stock list (on spreadsheet), select your favorite two stocks.
Question 5: Select your favorite stock from the "Yes" list. This list was compiled from the DD our members did, and stocks they believe are worth staying on the list. YOU MAY MAKE A DUPLICATE SELECTION WITH QUESTION #5, THAT'S OK...
Ok guys, this one counts... On the board's main page (http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/board.aspx?board_id=15517) you will find the "Stocks to Watch List" that has been compiled from all user suggestions along with additional stocks suggested by the stock screener. As you view that list, you will see that "members" of the Million Dollar March team have taken portions of the list to perform basic DD on, and have rated whether they believe the stock should remain on this list or not via "grading" the liklihood of the stock reaching our 15% target in one week...
That being said, now it is the groups turn to vote on the stocks that we, as a team, will further look into next week in selecting our first pick for June 29th! How does this work? It's actually quite simple. The "survey" below asks each user to select their top 5 stocks from the list on the main page.
Sunday night, the votes will be tabulated, and the 10 stocks receiving the most votes will be selected as the teams "Top 10" which we will DD in-depth next week. The same process will take place next week in selecting our first pick.
Thanks for all who are participating in the Million Dollar March!

.0035 x .0037 now, should get a .0037 close if not .0038 - and MMs won't be stopping this next week if the CSD PR hits!
Chris
One more thing to keep in mind... Per ARTI's press release (http://www.marketwire.com/press-release/Artfest-International-Inc-1000575.html) ARTI has said that CSD will be completed and announced via PR by the end of the month... "as we proceed to finalize the acquisition of CSD within the month." It is my estimate that the CSD acquisition and the 3.3 million per year in revenues they will bring ARTI, will propel this stock to the .03-.05 range within a day of its release.
Next week marks the last "full" week of the month, with the following week only being Monday and Tuesday the 29th and 30th...
In response to my email asking if CSD and that PR were still on that time frame, Edward responded "Everything is on schedule and ready to launch." A copy of his email is below...
This POWER HOUR may very well be the last chance to get ARTI at these levels. Although Edward has not given any firm date that he will release the PR announcing the CSD acquisition, he HAS stated it will be by the end of the month, so next week would make sense...
GOOOO ARTI!
