XM SHAREHOLDERS? What about the regular Siri holders, ice lost a ton.....we all holders have. Im wondering if Is hould buy at these levels even tho a reverse may come? should we load?
so, should we buying this based upon what we know?
interesting, read the part about purchasing the company and its stock...
The Sharper Image may have been the favorite of geeks in the '90s, but it's now a shadow of its former self.
After being delisted from Nasdaq, filing for bankruptcy, and announcing that it will close 96 of its 184 stores, the end is near for the specialty electronics retailer.
Or is it?
In an interesting development, The Sharper Image announced on Thursday that its chairman, Jerry W. Levin, is stepping down to pursue the possibility of acquiring the company's stock and assets.
Neither Levin nor The Sharper Image were ready to speculate about what his plans are, but it begs a question: "What is going on at The Sharper Image?" It's a company that has flown under the radar for quite some time, and most have written it off as a relic of the past, but I think there's more to it than that. If nothing else, the soap opera over at The Sharper Image is extremely interesting to watch.
Let's take a trip down memory lane. Back in 1977, when The Sharper Image opened shop, the company was designed with the offbeat electronics lover in mind. Since its move to Nasdaq in 1987, it lost its way in many respects and tried to be the "cool" guy's gadget house. It abandoned its tried-and-true marketing efforts in favor of infomercials. You know--the ones with that crazy-looking guy who yells a lot.
Since then, it was all downhill for The Sharper Image. And after the Internet became the safe haven for many of those gadgets at a much lower price, The Sharper Image did what it could by putting its stores in malls and other areas that it thought it could capitalize on impulse buyers, but it failed miserably.
Since then, its management failed miserably at trying to turn the company around. In an attempt to do so, it shook up the management and board.
But what the company obviously failed to realize is that people don't want what The Sharper Image offers in that kind of environment. Let's be honest--who really wants to buy the Ionic Breeze on The Sharper Image's site for $400 when they can have the same exact product on Amazon for $350?
And although that's just one example of the issues at The Sharper Image, they go far beyond the Ionic Breeze. More than anything, the company is in a tight spot. It was delisted from Nasdaq due to an incredibly low stock price (it's valued at $0.23 per share), and its 2006 loss of almost $60 million is making it increasingly more difficult for the company to compete with major online retailers.
So what can be done? Certainly, Jerry W. Levin thinks he knows, but I'd like to see what he comes up with. If nothing else, the company should close the rest of its brick-and-mortar stores, and try to live out the rest of its days online. If it doesn't, it'll probably meet its demise much sooner than originally planned.
so, why doesnt someone contact the new firm who owns Sharper now and ask if the common is going to be wiped out soon or is it staying in place? They are doing business, issuing PR's so why wouldnt they keep us? They didnt really have to issue the PR for the 500 mill if they didnt want investors from the public arena in my opinion...
this news today is all over the net.....
yes it did, jsut wondering if its a good buy at the current price....opinions?
According to an article I read today that website has looked like that for months.
they have not even updated their web site to reflect the new symbol....
is anything they are doing illegal at this point? I feel I have been fruaded and led on by this outfit.
weird post, SPAM?
No news to shareholders, just BLAM a RS. What sham. ATM IN THE MAKING HERE.
what west coast entity are they refering to? Maybe something to do with hollywood?
who knows.
another gay PR.
its like a fishing line from the company, yet lacking the right bait.
I have to agree that the direction, lack of communication regarding the merger and the poor excuse of recent PR's is a little concerning. Lets be real here folks there should have been an update on the merger there is no reason a pink company has to hide anything here. A lot BIGGER and better companies have merged and kept shareholders in the loop through out the process. Any way, something needs to happen real soon or investors will soon be moving on to something else to play with. So far I am not impressed with this outfit, they let the biggest news of all IE merger fall through the cracks, they are long overdue for new on that subject and according to one PR, said it should have taken 4 weeks. We are WELL beyond that without a word. Be careful here, and only invest what you are willing to loose. all IMO.
looks like poeple got their shares and dumped them. price is tanking.
stop loss triggered
Where ever the pps is at the moment I guess....
DRIVERS ALERT, although some will disagree because the CEO denied it.....but most CEO's deny lots of stuff....this quiet period with absolutly no news makes me think it is DA...and maybe another.
Cramer said stock will go down after plan announced....input?
my bet is also DA
i have a feeling all crops will be lost on this play.
they are beyond the PRed time frame of merger/news. What is the delay? Oh wait....its a pink sheet play I almost forgot, to busy watching my FRE shares go higher and higher...LOL
I fully agree...there has been to many red flags on this play, the one that really got me was the ole hook line and sinker deal about posting the share structure on some PR's. My advisor told me long ago is a lure to get people hooked, like us....and me. its true. EESO was a prime example. go look at past PR"S they touted the share structure, it ran up to I thik 3 cents, now look at the share structure and the price and you might agree with what im saying. This outfit needs to inform its shareholders NOW!!!
why have we see better gains after hours. sorry my last post didnt make sense
YES SIR!!!!
so usually when do these restrictions get lifted 90 days, 6 months 1 year? do we know? maybe next week?
does any one think they will dilute after the share situation is fixed? dropping this back to pennies?
shes backsliding mid day here.
after noon will break two buks, im thinking....imo
imo will hover between 190-2 buks before it heads back down.
the federal government will not let fre fail....do not worry about the so called fbi probe. Come on guys, do u really think the FBI going to tear this up.. The feds are running things now and why not let the FBI have a look into their newly aquired outfit, RIGHT?
LOL, how long does a cup of coffee take to brew my friend. This is lame. There should be something put out to say hey we are here, were breathing, invest in us....we project xxx xxx xxx in revs for 2009.....pump us....but no, not a word, nothing. split your shares, took some peeps money and gone dormant. I haveing more fun watching my fre shares on its ride...its been fun. but ctno....lame. Sorry guys, this is crapping me out as I write this....someone cheer me up on this stock.
a company making money would need to sell shares to raise money for a trip...pay legal fees....i dont think so here.....if they are selling shares because they need money fpr aplane ticket....HMMM...JMHO
well, I dont see ole smelly mel doing anything about it.
little over a dollar now. But yes, its being manipulated hard.
a business coach
fre is coming up restricted short sale on my bofa quoting.
