Unless I missed a PR giving the exact cost figures, perhaps it's like most things made in China. How do we know that the manufacturing and delivery costs are not $25? ETIM marks it up three times to AKC. AKC marks it up double. Now, AKC is giving them to COMPLAINING customers at five bucks over their costs just to be nice. I doubt they wrote that email to everyone who pre-purchased an urn and did not complain. This is all speculation, but that is what everyone is doing. A waste of time.
ETIM is doing everything they can to get the business off the ground and headed in the right direction. It does take time. Lots of us are here because most pinks never make it off the ground, and we feel this one is legitimate and will. Every time something does not go perfect, and traders don't get to sell for a quick buck, they begin to complain and gripe and compare ETIM to other crap companies they have been able to flip and make a quick buck on over and over. ETIM is their worst nightmare. They want it to jump 50% and then fall 50% over and over. They hate it that there is a growing, building shareholder group who see the future of this company and keep accumulating and maintaining a pretty steady share price. If all the traders would just go on to the other hundreds of companies that play their games and let ETIM continue to build the business and inform the real investor/shareholders of relevant and needed information, everyone would be much happier -- the traders, the investors, and ETIM.
I just thought about the AKC customers who complain the loudest and eventually get what they want because the management of the store or whatever just wants to get rid of them. I'm sure we all know this kind of customer and cringe at their behavior. What struck me as funny is how much they are like the trader/shareholder in ETIM -- constantly complaining, making invalid comparisons, crying for unnecessary press releases to try and get their typical "bumps" to flip. And ETIM, in the beginning, through inexperience, tried to give them what they hollered for . . . but now, they are tired of playing these "pinky" games, and the traders are really getting ticked because ETIM is not accommodating them instantly, all the time.
If ETIM is what we believe -- an innovative, first-in-the-space, revolutionary, company that will eventually become huge -- things will keep getting more and more like a real company and a real stock and further and further from the pinky garbage and behavior the traders crave. I say, hooray!
I'll remind you about those "just 5 million" at .01, .05, .10, .25, .50, $1.00, and $10.00 if I'm still alive (I'm an old fart)!
I keep telling people that is the problem we still have, which hopefully, disappears a great deal once the audit thing is past us (hear that CPAs -- satisfy Demetrius if you have to hire a beautiful model with grapes and palm leaves to deliver the last thing he wants), and I know evaporates 50% on leaving the pinks and 100% on large revenue figures. And that is, too many people see no difference yet between ETIM and all these other names you see on the IHUB "hot list" that are nothing but traders, and everyone knows it no matter what they say.
The "faithful 50" are slowly buying up more and more (like those who took mojo's today), but it is a slow process until we get the audit, the uplist, the financial sales projections and actuals.
Wish everyone could see the light bulbs go on with everyone associated with ETIM once they understand the branding concept in its entirety as it relates to the funeral space. Once they understand it, they see dollar signs and ask "where do I sign?"
Devon was one smart cookie during that brief triple 0 time. I can't tell you how about 5 of us still have bruises (from banging our heads and kicking ourselves) for not doing the same. If we had, there would be 10 SOLID shareholders right now holding 75% of the total shares, and all this trading garbage we have to put up with right now would be a mute point.
It's coming, IMO. We just have to rely on ETIM to make it a reality. I still believe that ETIM will be one of about 5 companies everyone in America, and perhaps the world will hear about in the near future. That will be exciting, won't it?
It's "just 50 million dollars." What the heck.
Don't let the door hit you on the way out. Best to you in your Winsted. Let us know when they move off the pinks, because I'm sure we won't have to inform you when ETIM does.
911 SOROS ALERT
There -- 911. Now I feel better.
I've been buying bits and pieces as I can. I like the space they are in and what they are doing. I'm not a trader, but bought a little of a micro that has been trading like 200 million every day at .0005 and just sold it at .001 -- just added that to my TDON at .74
***Getting CLOSE people***
Thank you, Clint, for responding to this posted "email." Sorry for the bother. It's either invalid or some clerk or who knows? I'll bet you and Nick and JP and Donna want to pull your hair out having to deal with all the "pink sheet" owners!!!!
BUT, soon we will NOT be a "pink-sheet crowd!" EVERYONE KEEP THAT IN MIND. This should frighten the trader/pink group.
I hear you, but just watch. ETIM will cure the "disbelieving Pink disease" for many -- and it has been terminal for tons of investors. ETIM will be the company to finally come out on the side of investors and not on the side of traders. The traders can have the other 99% of the companies that start on the pinks.
That's why it irks me that the traders always show up and try to slam the one company that is doing things right for investors. I say, go away and play with the 99%ers. There's plenty of short-term gains to be made in that arena. ETIMers are investors and want long-term gains.
We are tolerant until the audit hits. That will be the first real nail in their coffin that distinguishes ETIM from ALL the others who keep playing "the boy who cried wolf." Once the audit hits, can all the traders and "fire"-yellers and 3 computer screens on all day guys please just "get out of Dodge?" Once ETIM passes a dime, I'm sure there will be about 20 of us that will furnish you all with a free URN!
You can bet this email is being checked for validity. To say anything beyond that would not be responsible on my part. I would agree that IF it is 100% accurate, the choice of words reflects someone who was caught in a terrible mood and should have used his brain much, much better before replying.
My speculation is that the holiday set them back. I'd guess that Demetrius sent some questions back to the CPAs either right before the holiday or right after, and JP and the CPAs have been working non-stop trying to get everything answered 100% this time so as to get as close to the "10-day" statement issued by Demetrius.
At this point, no worries, but perhaps to avoid the usual "pink sheet" warmongers taking over the board and not only unnecessarily frightening shareholders, but worse, scaring them out of their positions for other's benefits. You can see this going on already, and at this point, it is totally unwarranted. Unfortunately, these "sky is falling" group (which have been here from the beginning), are also the traders group which know how to play the crowd. So, perhaps ETIM should issue a release that they did not intend to, solely to clamp down on this group until more, pure, verifiable fundamentals shut them up for good -- and those are coming, unless several bright minds here have already developed Alzheimer's.
As from the movie "Somewhere in Time" --

"Evening, Miss McKenna.
You don't know me...
...but you will."
ETIM does not have a CIK #, but THEY WILL!
I hope everyone does not bug him, but with such a large stake, I'm sure he will understand the status that will automatically give him!
He said he's not a "deep pocket" player, but rather someone like us who saw tremendous value in ETIM ever since he heard about it. I told him he could end up on FORBES richest list!
***Just so everyone does not bug this guy***
I received an email to my inquiry to him. Devon Block is an attorney, just an individual investor who does not know the management, but he believes in the long term prospects of the business -- as many of us do!
I invited him to IHUB -- if he is not already here.
Exactly. I see this in simple terms as another distributor for ETIM products, but perhaps one who will shoulder the lion's share of the costs for a better percentage of the profits. If so, it's a major coup for ETIM. It's another whole continent (loaded with Catholics, I might add who will love the Vatican line of products), for goodness sakes, that ETIM did not have before! Would ETIM turn down a financial participant AND major distributor AND new contacts -- just by probably having to do, say, a 50/50 split of profits in Europe only on the products that the other company puts up the costs and markets? I'm totally guessing at this point, but that's how I read it. The US distributors might have a 80/20 split of profits or 70/30. Who knows? Who cares? IMO, this just means new, faster, different sales -- which can only mean faster growth for ETIM and its shareholders!
NEBULA -- I'm sure you have thoughts of this in your own mind:
"An assembly of brilliant, glamorous, or distinguished persons or things"
Yet, your words belie you, and seem more fitted to one of these:
1. any celestial object that appears nebulous, hazy, or fuzzy
2. cloudiness in the urine
3. A cloudy spot on the cornea
I don't mean this as a personal attack (simply entertainment), but you certainly are doing your best to discredit ETIM and constantly imply they are scam artists interested in only selling stock. It seems no matter what they do or announce, you can find a reason that it is related to a typical scamming pink sheet company. You have an amazing gift to find a bit of sand in a sea of gold, sir! I'll save you the trouble of retorting that I have an amazing ability to find a speck of gold in a sea of sand.
Is that a naked urn?

Sorry. Just wanted to catch your attention and am a little "pain free" right now -- sorry Bee.
Simple illustration. There are basically three ways to interpret the events on Friday -- the "pre-announcement" and the PR.
1. You don't trust this company at all and view them as a typical pink sheet start-up who will do or say anything to keep interest and share sales flowing so they can get their next paycheck. If you own no shares, you are 100% skeptical. If you own a few shares, you are very skeptical and waiting for the company to develop or implode to make your next move (sell or buy more) completely clear.
2. You semi-trust the company, but feel it is still a small company being run by inexperienced people who have no real formula or game plan and are basically "shooting from the hip" and hoping they can stay in business. You believe their business "idea" is pretty good but could easily fail due to their inexperience and lack of capital. You think the "pre-announcement" is just further proof of this.
3. You have examined the business "idea" and listened as closely as possible to the "plan" -- at least as much as a new company can, or is willing to say at this point, and you are excited about the prospects. You don't blindly follow everything and recognize when early mistakes have been made, but you are satisfied to see staff adjustments and other changes that convince you the principals are on track and 100% legitimate and 100% convinced they have exactly what they think they have -- and that is an industry-changing "idea"; a definite business plan to execute; and the talent and will to see it through. The PR was a definite part of the business plan, but it came about much sooner in the step process than ETIM expected. It bought them more credibility, more time, quicker cash flow, faster tooling -- and perhaps the "inexperienced" part, or perhaps just the "excited" part of some legitimate people on a mission resulted in the "pre-announcement."
I don't have to tell you which of the three interpretations I buy in to. Could Clint, Nick, JP, and Donna -- at some point, in a spot of difficulty or tiredness or whatever -- simply throw their hands up and say, "it's not worth the hard work, the time, the effort, the sacrifice," and then put out garbage to their loyal shareholders and the mass of traders out there to sell as much of their stock as they can and call it quits? After all, that's what most of these pink sheet companies do at some point? If those of us who have bought into the dream of the branding future in the funeral industry are wrong, and we are completely wrong about the people involved -- sure, it could happen. And perhaps that is all you mean by saying "caution" is the best stance on all small companies. But, for me, and I know a few others at least, all hype and rah-rah crap aside (because everyone knows that exists), I believe ETIM is the real deal. I think that magic combination of idea and plan and people and work and time and industry and acceptance and need and validation and on and on -- will all come together to let those who began this company and aren't the ordinary "shell-buying" types who would be satisfied to make some quick "coin" and move on -- and those who see that in them and ETIM and have been willing to "get on board" as a loyal shareholder -- these two groups of people understand each other and appreciate each other and want to be a part of something truly revolutionary (I know I said no hype and pumping, but I couldn't think of another word that really fit). This ETIM "group" understands where they are, and they understand "wealth" versus "good job income" or "trader's mentality," and they are in this for the duration.
The true excitement of the ETIM people may have just been because they saw that "duration" time line cut way down with this European alliance. Or, "caution" and buying another CD may be the right thing to do for some. When the next major deal is struck and you turn on your tele to see ETIM being discussed all over the world again (for free, I might add), you may want to reexamine the three stances again.
****All this said, I truly want no one to buy one share of ETIM because of me. The ETIM story and success or failure will happen with or without you or me. But to be the monumental success I believe it will be, Clint, Nick, JP, and Donna DO NEED loyal shareholders at every point in the process. I think they understand that, and I want to be one of them. If I only write for Bee and me (I know there are many others, but I can't name them all -- right, Heppie?), then that is enough.***
If anyone with the brains to have 85 million shares at .001 is selling now and then buying back, then he has a brain tumor, because with short-term tax gains figured in, plus the risk, plus the trading and tax aggravation, something must be wrong in his head.
Anyone with 85 million shares already knows, and believes that ETIM is the first one in this space, and today's news just shows they have a lock on it. Getting millions of shares in a company early and just sitting on them is the best way for true wealth building. Note I said WEALTH, not good, quick money. There is a vast difference between the wealthy and the guys making $200,000-$500,000 a year. 85 million shares, once ETIM gets in the dollars a share, creates real wealth, and I suspect that's where most of those holding tens of millions of shares have their mind focused.
I've said it a dozen times, and we won't see it substantially until the share price gets at least in the multiple pennies -- our goal, and I know the goal of ETIM, is to leave the pinks, leave the traders, leave the traders and short-term mentality behind for good. THAT is why ETIM was TRULY excited about the announcement today. Those with a long-term view of WEALTH building can ignore all the gyrations and 98% of the talk on stock boards at this point in time. We are not an oil explorer with a few leases. We are not two chemists with a few test tubes and a theory about a disease. We are not five former car salesmen with a shell and the rights to some cell phone service in India. We are not a bunch of Russians with a few gov't friends and a former gold mine. We are not an uneducated family who knows how to work on cars and want to get rich going public and taking orders from professional stock sellers. WE ARE NOT 98%ers. Traders ARE 98%ers. Which do you want to be?
I'm going for the 1% who are in the wealthy category, and I believe ETIM is also. That's why there is true excitement that traders can't understand.
I only have a minute. Just got back from an early appointment and have to leave again . . . BUT
Briefly -- since we don't have exact details, we must speculate. But those of us who trust the company and see the big picture must understand that by posting a pre-release of this PR, ETIM is really excited about this. So . . . my guess is that what this does is escalate the manufacturing process by months or perhaps years -- and it does it without ETIM having to give up 1/2 the company, without ETIM having to issue another billion shares, without ETIM having to take out loans. On the surface, it looks like this company in Europe SEES WHAT WE SEE -- the VAST potential of BRANDING in the funeral space, and they want a part of that in Europe . . . and, they are willing to spend money to make it happen. For ETIM, it gets them moving on manufacturing much faster, which gets products for sale and delivered faster, which will translate into earnings much faster.
ETIM already saw this progression of the company in stages until they would become a major force in the industry, but they understand the number one reason that most companies fail -- lack of money to get over the "hump." THAT is why, IMO, they are so excited about this PR and deal. This is almost like free "getting over the hump" money to share profits in Europe. This is wonderful! And you can see the thought and progression of this deal by the sentence that ETIM can sell the products that result from this deal in the USA -- and I'd bet they don't have to share those profits, or at least take the lion's share of them.
This is just one more bit of confirmation that we have indeed actually found a tiny company in the beginning, in a huge industry, with a corner on a portion of the market that many will want a piece of . . . and IMO, we will look back and wonder why we did not get it "while the getting was good."
I scanned the posts today and see the trader's mentality of, "This is no good because I wanted to buy at .005 and get a buy out at .02." Simple wits abound. No visionaries in traders! They always sell the seeds instead of planting them. But guess what? Two years, three years, and even ten years from now, they will still be doing the very same thing. ETIM long-term shareholders will not care about buying and selling any other stock. To not even care that the stock market exists. That is my goal.
The Vatican Collection may hold the largest one product line for VAST potential. Maybe the Catholic Church is partnering with ETIM to make sure every Catholic worldwide has an ETIM urn or casket when they die.
STWS -- Story time with SOROS -- or SIF B NORK W IGO -- Speculation is fun, but no one really knows what is going on.
Notice the theme for this year? NO ONE, but ETIM, represents that phrase 100%!!! Perhaps someone huge sees what we see, and wants to put their money where we have. Sure would be nice to see "XXXX company has been buying shares on the open market for the past few months and is now a 10% holder. IN addition, XXXX, who controls ____% of the funeral home industry, is helping put a firm foundation behind ETIM by pledging to now buy another 500 million shares on the open market because they see the future value at many dollars per share. Furthermore, XXXX will be marketing ETIM products in thousands of funeral homes across the country to jump start ETIM's business plan by 2-3 years. To make this possible, XXXX is also putting several million dollars into the manufacturing of ETIM products simply to roll out the revolutionary products and make their stake in ETIM much more valuable immediately and for the future.
“Welcome to Fabulous New Ideas” is the theme for this year’s convention . . ."

Remember this one? It's a big company:
FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich. -- Eternal Image, Inc. (OTC:ETIM.PK), a public company engaged in the design, manufacturing and marketing of licensed brand caskets and urns, today announced that it has signed an exclusive agreement with Wilbert Funeral Services, Inc. of Broadview, Illinois, the largest vault manufacturer and marketer in the world. Under the agreement, which begins June 1, Eternal Image will manufacture baseball appliques and plaques to be used by Wilbert Funeral Services as a component in their vault products.
Wilbert provides premium burial vaults and urn vaults with ever-increasing choices for memorial customization. Wilbert products represent one of the most recognized brands among North American funeral directors and families.
"Wilbert always strives to serve families with the richest range of choices for tributes with greater personal meaning," said Wilbert Funeral Services, Inc. President Jim Curran. "Love of sport is a defining trait of the American spirit, and our partnership with Eternal Image helps us add even more truth and color to the passion that was felt during a life well lived."
Earlier today EI had announced that it has received permission from Major League Baseball[TM] to expand its licensing agreement. The company, which already produces funeral urns and caskets featuring Major League Baseball[TM] team logos and colors, is now extending its agreement into vault and monument lines.
"Vaults represent an area of huge potential growth for us, and our best case scenario - that we partner with the leader in this industry - has come to fruition with this agreement," said Clint Mytych, CEO of Eternal Image. "More than 500,000 burial vaults were sold last year and not one featured a licensed image. This is a wide open opportunity for us."
Maybe our information to Donny at The Big Idea made him not only think "What a great segment for the show," but "What a great investment for me!" A national partner who can "move mountains" to get ETIM constant exposure and skyrocketing sales! Who knows who might be "getting in bed, er coffin, with Clint and company?
I just sold a couple of miners and bought 20,000 more LBWR. I have a feeling that there are not too many shares left under ten cents or perhaps even under 15 cents. I'd bet whatever is for sale is merely a few people with GTC orders to sell in because they are tired of waiting -- the #1 reason investors don't become wealthy once they have correctly identified a legitimate company in its early stages. This is a real, profitable company that will show everyone they were only on the pinks because it was necessary to launch the ship, and that is all. LBWR will soon land a few more of those "major" clients, and we will be off to the races.
ETIM is currently doing the very same thing -- that is, proving they are one of the 1-2% of pinks that only began there but are not staying there for long. Both of these companies have potential for large revenues. LBWR perhaps not as huge potential as ETIM, but they have less shares out. LBWR could easily eventually be netting out tens of millions in profit and ETIM could one day be doing 100's of millions. Both have potential for share price to be in the multiple dollars -- not cents and sub-cents.

Since you can't PM, post to me here how many share on LabW you have at all or none. I'll see if I can match it. Thanks.
Just the fact that Jon put something that ludicrous in place originally speaks volumes. To now even attempt to reverse it in a way that still leaves the door open for him to issue himself 1/2 billion shares speaks even louder if you truly examine it. It smacks of "I'm only guilty if I get caught" type of reasoning. I know he's not a preacher, but the comparison is valid when someone is so vocal with the "christianese," and actions speak WAY louder than words. If he wanted to, he could set up the structure to something more reasonable after having taken investors down a 95% drop TWO TIMES now. Shares dropping for an insider mean nothing, but to shareholders, it is cold, hard, LOST cash.
Everyone must be busy emailing The Big Idea. Perhaps this "fastest start" on ETIM I can ever remember means the "fastest rise" later today? If only another 1000 long-term people would buy as little as 100,000 shares each month, what's left of a float would soon be gone.
edit -- and then we get some clown (be it trader or MM or marooooon) sell at the bid -- "One of these days, Alice! Pow!"
Got to change my schedule. You have to talk to yourself after a certain hour around here. ;)
Is it time for others to finally see what we do? Is it time for us to get past this .0001 trading range and back at least to the .0005 spreads? We're close. So close, that those who wait, I hope will regret it by next week! Lots of work to do, but lots being done right now, I'd bet, behind the scenes. Hopefully, the end of June will set the stage for a great rest of the summer.
On another note, I wrote "The Big Idea" show and suggested ETIM would be a perfect fit for their scope and purpose of the show -- highlighting great ideas being carried forward by hard-working entrepreneurs. If you can write an intelligent and reasonable letter, do so. Please don't use hype and rah-rah kinds of words. Just state why you think ETIM should be covered on the show. It should draw them great ratings and help ETIM in the process. No hype -- it's just a great IDEA, and hence fits their show profile.

I just find it odd that the CEO of a public company is posting on IHUB -- NNYR. Not to be too mean, but his "god blessing" all along as the investors in the company keep losing 99% of their money more than once now, just doesn't jive.
" . . . in the trading aspect of it."
You've hit the nail right on the head, and it's why I and "most" of the "faithful 50" have been trying to educate everyone concerning ETIM. We are still inundated with "traders" and others who simply view ETIM as a trading stock. And I'd be lying if I told you I felt bad for the traders today because they did not have a chance to flip more stock at a higher price. I can't wait until the day -- and IT IS COMING, LIKE IT OR NOT -- when the fluctuations will be smaller and smaller, and the larger day gains will NOT be followed so much with sell-offs that encourage traders. I LOVE IT when the pattern of the stock movement not only confuses traders, but makes them lose money when they try to trade it.
The "faithful 50" would like to see ETIM lose all appeal to traders and be replaced with thousands of new, long-term investors taking out large chunks of the float for years to come. I've heard a few say or imply that we need to attract the trading crowd to get the price up. I say that's baloney. We need ETIM to deliver licenses, sales, growth, and they will automatically receive plenty of free national and world exposure. Once our "faithful 50" becomes a "faithful 100" and then a "faithful 200," we will own the float, and when the current alliances and future sales justify a shares price of .10 and then .25, a whole new group of "investors" -- not traders -- will have ETIM show up in their view, and they will then consider investing, whereas they would not at this moment in time.
I understand the traders don't believe any of this will happen, and that's fine. It doesn't matter what they or I believe. It matters what ETIM does and the reactions of the public to their concept and business model. The real story will then play out no matter what.
Would a .008 made me feel better looking at my account today? Sure. But not if it automatically means a traders' sell-off back to .0045 and then a repeat of the whole process ad infinitum. I'd much rather see 10% gains weekly that hold tighter and tighter, so traders take a 20% gain, sell, and then never see a drop that encourages them to get back in again. Although, with the right news, we might just have a 100-200% gain that makes us lose a ton of the traders in a much shorter time frame, but the news will tell enough of the future story, that enough of the new buyers will be convinced just enough, as we are, to hold for a much longer term, so we accomplish the same thing -- getting rid of traders and replacing them with investors. The traders can keep laughing and making their comparisons and implications and doing their best to keep ETIM as a pinky vehicle plaything for themselves as long as they want. The "faithful 50" (and growing) will just keep soaking up more and more shares little by little that will make their job more and more difficult.
Today was simply another step in the right direction for those who want (and have the ability) to see the big picture going forward instead of focusing on what many Americans are known for (and especially traders in this arena) -- instant gratification and no concern for the future. Disregard for the future where ETIM is concerned will one day cost the short-sighted people vast amounts of money -- and I couldn't be happier about that.
I could only take out 1.2 million today and my back side feels it (after buying all month), but I am PROUD to be a part of the true investors here in ETIM -- YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE! You ALL came through today, and at some point, ETIM WILL come through for all of us. Waiting and frustration are the words of the week, but that will soon change, IMO. I certainly don't want to sound trite or disingenuous -- as many of these boards become. But I think the "faithful 20" -- which in reality may be more like the "faithful 50" now -- know and understand we are in a pink now, but won't be forever. And I, for one, cannot wait until that day when we own a company that regular people on the street have heard of, just as if you said "Apple" or "Nike" or "Amazon." We'll be able to say, "Did you see Eternal Image's latest license or latest urn patterned after _____?" -- and 8 out of 10 people will acknowledge they have. At that point, the "faithful" will be living a far different life than they are now, the day traders will be forever gone, and the market makers will no longer control the market we trade on!
This is so confusing. Let's see:
This whole "yarn" is because the Contrasting Color (CC) made the Melt Flow Index (MFI) go up, which made the Post Postscriptum (PPS) go up and down. Now, the Core Mass Function (CMF) is not reliable because the Amperes Full-Scale (AFS) has not been delivered, which gives ultimate power to a millimeter (MM).
If the old lady had just chosen blue instead of green for her knitted sweater, she wouldn't have had to put so much confusing additional information at the end of her letters, and everyone would understand that Orion quiescent cores can be fitted by a power law with an index equal to 0.85$\pm$0.21 (I removed the negative because I want good positive energy flow) which is $4.04, the likely true value for ETIM in the future. I'd add something about the AFS, but for the life of me, not being an engineer, I just don't quite grasp why it's not reliable and on schedule in this case, but I do know there's no reason to give such power to such a tiny thing as a millimeter! Heck, when this moves, it's going to be in inches, feet, yards, meters, and miles, and we'll probably never see a MM again or care that they even exist.
PS -- Is it late?
PPS -- Did I take my med?
PPPS -- Perhaps I took it three times (hic).
PPPPS -- All this constant debate about meaningless letters makes me laugh. One of these days, just a couple of fellows are going to see what we do and buy in, and everyone "charting" won't have time to think about it as they watch the decimal move to the right several places in their accounts.
Well, can't sleep again. Maybe it's a sign something is about to happen? Come on ETIM. Let's get some good things out of the way so I can sleep again.
Come on now. Pompano is just investing according to his comfort level, and that is based on who knows how many things that have happened to him? Right now, if I read him correctly, he thinks, based on charts and support, that .0035-.0039 is a great long-term buy with no additional information. He's content to buy there with learning nothing new. But, he'd be just as comfortable and content to pay .0047-.005 based on new news that instills more confidence in line with his terms of investing. He's just not "sold" on the company like some are and not willing to risk any more than he currently has invested. In other words, his risk/reward ratio is still like 52/48. I just hope he and others have not underestimated how many others with deep pockets are thinking exactly like him, and they have 24/7 "watch" on with immediate orders to follow with the right news -- and as Lurker and Five and Mary Kate and others have pointed out, just how quickly we might blow through resistance levels, so I hope he is also just as comfortable and willing to purchase his next set at .007-.01 or, heaven forbid, even greater ;)
I, and some others (is that a Bee swarming in my ear? -- BTW, in my younger days, you would have sat in that tree with me, I've no doubt ;), are sufficiently sold on ETIM with what we already have learned and seen and heard. So, every time we have a little spare change, we pick up a little more, because our risk/reward compass is sitting at like 39/61 (that's mine anyway -- Bee's I think is at 11/89), so we like the odds, and we really like the ability to be able to buy more shares the longer it sits in this .004-.0045 sideways channel.
So, I like that we have all different types of investors here. Remember, there are over 4000 shareholders, which is pretty good for something in its infancy -- a great reminder and testimonial of the power of free national advertising, and a super-great expectation of what that same exposure on confirmed, good news might accomplish. My greatest hope is that we attract "regular" investors (the kind who normally do not buy small stocks or perhaps only buy mutual funds currently) by the tens of thousands who simply put in like $1,000-$5,000 dollars because the national wave of information coming will strike a nerve -- be it due to their pet, their favorite sport's team, their religion, or simply a positive comment by a national financial person who reports the "very unusual" happenings with a former pink sheet stock -- something rare indeed.
I'm going to have to stop these long-winded "thoughts-out-loud," lest someone call me a pumper again, but I think with a few random exceptions, we have a great group of investors assembled here, and even a few nice traders. The few who don't fit in will no doubt disappear once they make their initial 100% at each level.
Someone pointed out a stock that went from like .005 to .025 today. I don't know about that one, but I know if the story is true and the confirmations come, our portfolios might induce gasping and a need for a paper bag at various points in time.
Two questions -- (1) What happened to your usual, positive, uplifting, optimistic, merry, buoyant self? and (2) Are you rich yet? and (3) Yes, we are rich -- just waiting for the ship to come in. We know it's been launched, but we're trying to get some blasted CPA with no ship experience off the wheel because he's having too much fun -- remember that Beverly Hillbillies episode where Jethro takes control of the naval battleship Jed thinks he is testing to purchase and starts the 90 degree turns!
Seriously, just joshing you. Aren't you the one with the IRA that's going to make you rich while at the same time eternally kicking yourself for not loading up during such a long period of .004-.0045 available?
I've actually done some ghost writing for others (some names you would know) -- not here, and not stock related. I should have been in the entertainment business I suppose, but I'll settle for funerary "multi-millionairey" extraordinary!
Look, guys -- this audit thing has obviously been more involved than ETIM thought. They are going through this for the first time, and from experience of knowing several accountants, I'd bet one said to them, "an audit will generally take between ___ and ____ to complete." Inexperience, once again, opens us up to the day trading, cynical crowd. Inexperience announces an audit as soon as the idea happens. Inexperience sets a time line as soon as a CPA gives an estimate. Inexperience sets another to help make the first two misses seem better. All water under the bridge.
I won't go into all the excuses or the accusations criticizing the excuses. No point. I've seen and heard enough that ETIM has my trust, so, IMO, the audit WILL be out. The only question is WHEN -- no matter how irritating the delays are. Since we still believe the CPA firm has control, my own personal time line on release is 6/30, but they might get them from the firm today -- and I will not know that, so it could be 6/28 even. But I am not expecting them before that (so anything earlier, for me, will be great), and since it is in no way a question of trust, but simply a timing/involvement issue, it changes nothing of my opinion.
Those who do not yet trust ETIM and still think they could be a typical pink interested in only selling stock might as well sell now, rather than waiting until the potential 6/30 and yelling the accusations that have no merit -- other than time lines should not have been guessed at -- a lesson I'm sure has been now absorbed.
The day trader talk I can ignore, and that makes for only a few short postings to read at the end of the day. I know there are about 20 people here (some who say nothing) who only think of ETIM in terms of a solid company and a share price in about 5 stages -- above a penny, .05, .10, .25, and $1.00. After that, we only think in terms of selling a few hundred shares here and there as time goes on and amassing a great fortune.
Call me a dreamer. Call me delusional. Call me an old fool. I know what I am, and it's not a pumper. I want no one to buy one share because of anything I believe. I write for the 20 people who I KNOW think the same of ETIM as I do, and we enjoy each other's company as we wait. And waiting is the hardest part of all.
I just did 100,000 -- how about 10 of you guys do the same?
