Out of my mind. Back in five minutes.
Oops. My brain just hit a bad sector.
On the other hand, you have different fingers.
Okay, who put a stop payment on my reality check?
Oh Lord, give me patience, and GIVE IT TO ME NOW!

Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.

Never miss a good chance to shut up.

Monday is an awful way to spend 1/7th of your life.
Make it idiot proof and someone will make a better idiot.
I will in a week or so when I get home. I have gone to a CASH position for now as I am going to be travelling across the entire continent twice before month end and if I can't watch the market I don't want to have my money tied up, especially with nasty global situations looming.
The only stock I didn't sell was VLVT. It's a pinkie trading for 3.6 cents and I wouldn't recommend it for anyone without a very high risk tolerance. I've been in it since December and have rode it from 3 cents to 6 cents and back a couple of times. It will be up again before month end, but may not hold the gain. It is an unusual play for me, I usually pick the cherries that give safe obvious % back in short periods of time.
This stock might make a move when they release info on who the fortune 100 company is that they are working with, the problem would be trying to find enough volume to trade into.
see you in a week
A very good friend of mine had a publicly traded company that was actually listed at one time. While it was active there were several directors and officers, but when it was wound down there were not.
It was later purchased by another local business and changed business direction. At this time there were again only 2 officers, a husband and wife, and the company operated like that for many years.
So I admit it would be strange if this were a large established company, but as a penny pinksheet startup holding company, I think it is an acceptable place to start.
Personally, I hold 2 other stocks which have either 1 or 2 directors, one is a shell waiting to find a business direction.
If you are looking for Nasdaq style of corporate structure and style you are just wasting your time. Everyone here accepts that this company is making a fresh start and it will take time to reach the level that many more established publicly traded stocks are at.
I doubt I will be holding this stock for years, but don't doubt that there will always be people complaining that this isn't as professionally run as Microsoft.
If you were realistic with your expectations, you would be satisfied with your results.
I hereby commandeer this board as a place to keep updates on the latest pump and tout newsletters and spam services.
While I do not endorse any of them, it is obvious that many have a following and often the exposure and interest they create can result in upward price movement.
I am not suggesting buying any of the securities mentioned, but it will be interesting to post newsletter recommendations, pick price, and then updated price at some point in the future. For example 1 month after the recommend to see if it had any effect.
I am going to stop off in Minnesota and check out a sega machine there that may still have an old chip in it. I'll let you know.
Why do you continue to address your questions to anonymous message board posters instead of to the IR?
Are you too afraid to phone and ask for yourself or unable to afford the toll charges?
I have 2 brokers, both here in Canada so they may react differently. It is hard to say since this is such a strange situation with gmxx.
There is a WAG board for the superbowl, go over there and make a guess on the score.
That would be good to know.
I'm heading out of town for a few days but when I get back I am going to call my broker and tell them I want to buy, but only if they can get me the certs. I wonder what they would say?
I am leaving for Boston early in the AM, but let me know if you confirm your attendance, maybe we can meet up at the event if I can get there in time. I am still trying to locate the place and confirm my east coast schedule.
Things you need to know - Part 1
January 20, 2003
Welcome to Monday, my new day on the web site. To celebrate the most under appreciated day of the week, I've dug up some little-known, but current facts about 15 NHL teams.
We'll do the other half of the league next Monday.
Anaheim: Sure, the additions of forwards Petr Sykora and Adam Oates have helped the Ducks' playoff push. But don't forget about the forward who has been in Anaheim for years, though not necessarily in the lineup. After playing just 16 and 38 games the past two seasons, Steve Rucchin hasn't missed a game this year and is second in team scoring behind Paul Kariya.
Atlanta: Shawn McEachern wasn't a minus player in his last five seasons with the Ottawa Senators. But the Atlanta Thrashers, it says here, are not the Ottawa Senators. McEachern, at a league-worst minus-27, is one of 12 Thrashers with a plus-minus rating in double-digits; no other team had more than four players to hit such depths.
Boston: Only seven Bruins – Glen Murray (24), Joe Thornton (22), Brian Rolston (17), Mike Knuble (11), Jozef Stumpel (10) and Bryan Berard and P.J. Axelsson (nine each) – had more than six goals through 46 games. The seven players combined for 102 of Boston's 140 goals (73 per cent).
Buffalo: Rookie goalie Ryan Miller, the ex-Michigan State Spartan who holds the NCAA record for most shutouts (26 in three seasons), is rattling the cage in Buffalo. Miller is 5-3-1 with a 2.18 goals-against average and .915 save percentage since being called up – and he has lost just once in his last six decisions.
Calgary: What's the lesson Darryl Sutter has to teach the Flames? That defense wins games, sure, but you gotta score to win. Entering Jan. 20 action, the Flames were the only team in the NHL with fewer than 100 goals – they had 99 for a league-low 2.11 goals per game. Team leader Jarome Iginla is on pace for 25 goals, less than half of his NHL-best total of 52 last year.
Carolina: The Hurricanes are struggling right now, but one bright light has been the play of sophomore Erik Cole. Last year's rookie revelation in the playoffs, the young power forward is fourth in team scoring with 24 points, including 13 goals, and joins Sean Hill and tough guy Jesse Boulerice as the only Canes who aren't a minus.
Chicago: Phil Housley just keeps going, and going, and going…The 39-year-old is the highest-scoring American-born player of all-time – with 1,230 points in 1,483 games – and is third on the Hawks with 27 points in 47 games this season.
Colorado: The once-vaunted Colorado offense has been reduced to whatever Peter Forsberg, Joe Sakic and Milan Hejduk can produce. A potent trio, to be sure, but it's not good when three players provide 45 per cent of the goals (58 of 129).
Columbus: Congratulations to Geoff Sanderson for regaining his health (no missed games) and scoring touch (few missed nets – 22 goals). It's just too bad his timing isn't a little better – Sanderson counts just one game-winner among his goals; teammate Derrick Walser, meanwhile, a rookie defenseman, has two winners on just four goals.
Dallas: It's like Ken Hitchcock never left. The team is tops in the West, second in goals-against average (1.96) and three Stars – Jere Lehtinen (plus-26), Derian Hatcher (plus-24) and Philippe Boucher (plus-23) – are 1-2-3 in the NHL in plus-minus. Marty Turco has the best save percentage among starting goalies (.930).
Detroit: They've scored an awful pile of goals over their all-star careers, but the four and three goals credited to Luc Robitaille and Igor Larionov, respectively, as the Wings near the 50-game mark is shocking.
Edmonton: What a coincidence… Todd Marchant, the defensive specialist on the cusp of unrestricted free agency (he's a 10-year vet making less than the league average of $1.75 million), is having a career offensive season. The speed demon has nine goals and 35 points in 47 games and is tied for the team lead at plus-10. His career highs are 19 goals and 40 points.
Florida: Quick! Name the two highest-scoring North Americans on the Panthers roster. Hint: they're both teenaged rookies. If you came up with Stephen Weiss (ninth on the team with 15 points) and Jay Bouwmeester (11th, nine points), you're absolutely right.
Los Angeles: The Kings have five rookies playing regularly and contributing to the cause: forwards Alexander Frolov, Mike Cammalleri and Jared Aulin and defensemen Kip Brennan and Joe Corvo. Frolov made the team out of camp, but the rest are fill-ins. Why so many? Simply, the Kings have been ravaged by injury so far this season, especially up front where first-liners Adam Deadmarsh (missed 26 games), Jason Allison (missed 23 games) and Ziggy Palffy (missed six games) have taken turns in traction.

Leafs put home unbeaten streak on line against Flyers
Toronto, Ontario (Sports Network) - The Toronto Maple Leafs try to extend their home unbeaten streak to 14 tonight when they welcome the Philadelphia Flyers to Air Canada Centre.
Toronto is 12-0-1 in its last 13 home matches, dating back to a 2-1 loss to Detroit on November 16. The run marks the longest of its kind for the Leafs since 1970-71 when they didn't lose at Maple Leaf Gardens for 14 straight. The franchise record for a home unbeaten streak is 18, last set during the 1953-54 season.
The Maple Leafs have won three-in-a-row overall, including Saturday's 3-2 overtime decision in Montreal. Nik Antropov provided the heroics 56 seconds into the extra session. Travis Green and Robert Reichel also scored, while Trevor Kidd finished with 28 saves before leaving in the third with a groin injury.
Rookie goaltender Mikael Tellqvist took over in his first-ever NHL appearance and stopped 9-of-10 shots. The Leafs were without All-Star Ed Belfour, who is nursing back spasms and very doubtful for tonight. There's a good chance that Tellqvist will get his first NHL start against the Flyers, as Kidd is questionable to even dress.
Elsewhere on the injury front, winger Alexander Mogilny is questionable due to a foot injury that has sidelined him for two games.
Toronto will visit Buffalo on Friday.
Philadelphia, which has won nine of its last 10 overall, posted a 4-2 win over the host New York Rangers on Sunday for its third straight triumph. Michal Handzus scored the go-ahead goal late in the third period as the Flyers bounced back from a 2-0 deficit. Keith Primeau, with two goals, and Simon Gagne also tallied, while Roman Cechmanek turned aside 31 shots.
Handzus netted his 14th goal of the season, and extended his points streak to six games (4g, 4a). Carrying in a five-game personal run will be winger Donald Brashear (1g, 4a), who assisted on the winning marker.
During their 10-game spurt to start 2003, the Flyers have scored 35 goals, while allowing 21. They've managed five power-play tallies in 31 attempts over that span, and have successfully quelled 31 of 33 penalty killing situations.
Philadelphia, which leads the Atlantic Division by one over New Jersey with 61 points, has won its last five road games. The Flyers will host the New York Islanders on Friday.
Toronto is 2-1 against Philly this season, and 3-2-1 in the last six meetings. The Flyers are 0-1-1 in their last two trips to Air Canada Centre.
