Hi guys... I just wanted to let you all know that the very first Million Dollar March "Stocks to Watch" list has now been posted to the main board page (http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/board.aspx?board_id=15517)!
As you will be able to see when you look over the list, there are quite a few stocks listed, and we have just about 1 week before we vote on our "Top 10" stocks from that list.
So here's my suggestion: On the MDM main board, each one of us should take either 5-10 stocks (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 me... 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. 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.
As we work our way through this first selection, the entire process will become routine.
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. I'm away at preschool today (Monday) but will be posting to claim my 10 stocks to DD when I'm free this evening.
Let the fun begin!

Artfest Internation mentioned in stock email...
Just wanted to take a minute to post the section of my stock email which is sent out to investors via email, that pertains to Artfest International
First off, ARTI... Artfest International put out four press releases this past week (all linked below) and more news is expected from the company this coming week. Starting off on Monday, ARTI announced it's "Sizzling Summer Saturday" art extravaganza that took place yesterday. As of the time of this email, I was unable to find any photos from the event, but I will pass them along should I receive any, and fully expect an early week press release following up on this event. The most important piece of information to investors was the part regarding CSD, as the company has now put in writing that the acquisition of CSD should be announced this month!
Key points from this press release:
- a live appearance by Sir Earl Toon, one of the original members of the pop group "Kool and the Gang".
- Artfest International's event will have live painting with Artfest Artists featuring Lisa Wilson as well as Craig Gould, Kathy Metcalf, and Romanho appearing in Artfest's Main Gallery.
- Building Wealth and Extra Income through Art seminars at 11:30 am CST, 2 pm CST, and 5 pm CST.
- The "Sizziling Summer Saturday" event will also have on display celebrity sports memorabilia from CSD which demonstrates the synergies and cooperation between CSD and Artfest as we proceed to finalize the acquisition of CSD within the month.
Following Monday's PR, the company announced via a press release on Tuesday, that they are to Receive $5 Million Equity Line of Credit to Complete Key Acquisitions. Again, this is paramount in closing the CSD deal, which, when complete I believe will increase the PPS of ARTI to the .02-.05 range fairly quickly. Bashers will point out that with this announcement the company has taken on $5 million in debt, but the most important thing with this release is the fact that the Delaney Equity Group will receive warrants at five and ten cents per share. Obviously, no company would accept a warrant at five and ten cents per share if they didn't believe that ARTIs pps would get to those levels.
Key points from this press release:
- will enable the Company to complete the acquisition of Charity Sports Distributor ($3.3 million in revenue per year), Inc., a vertically integrated Texas-based custom framing company, which specializes in the design, production, and distribution of authentic framed autographed sports and entertainment collectibles and art pieces.
- Delaney Equity Group will receive warrants at five and ten cents per share.
On Wednesday, the company PR'd that the company would hold an open house on June 23rd for investors and the financial community. The last PR last week hit on Thursday announcing the launch of the companies agressive merger and acquisition campaign. This release piggybacked the Tuesday release announcing the line of credit. It has changed the thoughts of many investors that planned on flipping ARTI to hold a larger portion long-term.
Key points from this press release:
- Artfest International is in the process of completing the acquisition of Charity Sports Distributor, Inc.
- Some of the merger and acquisition candidates that the Company is currently evaluating are in a variety of sectors within the art, memorabilia and media industries, such as art galleries, sports memorabilia companies, television networks, production companies, printers and manufacturers, and frame manufacturers.
- Through these acquisitions, Artfest International is looking to expand its presence in Los Angeles, New York, Dallas, Chicago, Orlando, and Miami.
- "We have targeted a host of acquisitions, including printing and manufacturing, that would combined bring additional $20,000,000 in revenues...
Obviously, the last point is what is creating the most change in position on ARTI as $20 million in revenues would create a pps that far surpasses the short-term target of .02-.05 which I have given ARTI.
While writing this email, I visited www.artfestinternational.com and noticed some changes. I clicked through to: http://www.artfestinternational.com/index.php/art-channel-galleries/breaking-announcements and noticed a new "Breaking Announcement" - Artfest International proudly announces the addition of Cheryl Moore as our new National Field Director for Art Channel Galleries (details on the website). I also found: http://www.artfestinternational.com/index.php/art-channel-galleries/events which has details to an event "Live on Saturday, June 20, 2009, 11:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m CST. Artfest International and Art Channel Galleries proudly presents five classic Kazanin works and premieres five new pieces in our Artfest Russian Room at Art Expo." And lastly, http://www.artfestinternational.com/index.php/art-channel-galleries/events/events-registration has 2 newly listed events listed which you may RSVP to.

BBDA mentioned in stock email to investors...
Just wanted to take a minute to post the section of my latest stock email just sent out to investors that is in regards to BBDA....
My second play, BBDA, also has quite a bit going on...
As I said in my stock email last week, I expected the BBDA sponsorship of Dan "The Outlaw" Hardy to be renewed, and indeed, the company announced just that on Monday in time for Hardy's fight yesterday afternoon. Hardy was a clear under-dog in this fight but won via a split-decision. Congrats to Dan Hardy and BBDA! To view the replay online of this fight, visit: http://www.mma-core.com/videos/_Marcus_Davis_vs_Dan_Hardy_UFC_99_The_Comeback?vid=10005295&tid=100.
Key points from this press release:
- There were some concerns as the former owners of Bebida used this MMA vehicle to raise shareholder loyalty and share value, we on the other hand want to use this Dan Hardy model to continue where they left off by adding marketing leveraging items, such as tee shirts, hats, bandanas and a whole host of Items that will be available at future fights as well as our online store soon to open.
- We cannot and will not do any promotions or marketing for any of our brands unless there is a return on investment that is measurable.
- Dan will sign 50 of the original Piranha bandanas that will be shipped to Bebida in NC for a competition giveaway in July.
Pictures from the Dan Hardy fight are linked below:

Following the announcement of the Dan Hardy contract renewal, investors received news on Tuesday of a "bonus" sponsorship opportunity that BBDA had taken advantage of, in sponsoring Andy Ponstein in the Camping World Truck Series event being held at the Michigan International Speedway in the Michigan 200. The event concluded yesterday with Ponstein finishing 28th. The event was broadcast live on Speed TV and the Piranha Water logo adorned the hood of the truck (http://d.yimg.com/a/p/ap/20090612/capt.bdac83a0f53b4d4797b29fe9a42f7b6e.nascar_gm_cutbacks_racing_mico101.jpg), however, from the sounds of the release, this may have been a one-time sponsorship deal. If any information comes out clarifying this, I will pass it along.
The release also announced that Dillon Oliver will be signing Autographs and displaying his car at the June 13th 116th street festival in NYC alongside the ESPN booth. Pictures of BBDA at the event are just starting to hit the boards from investors that attended, and I would fully expect an early week press release announcing the success of the event in terms of sales or free bottles given away. Some of those pics can be viewed at:

The last BBDA press release last week hit the wires on Wednesday, and announced that Flair Beverages Inc., of New York, will be an official distributor of the growing Bebida and Potencia product lines.
Key points from this press release:
- We are very excited to workwith Flair Beverages. They are one of the largest 'cash and carry' distributors in New York and sell over 5 million cases of beer and beverages annually.
- Flair will distribute Potencia Energy Drink, and within the week Piranha Water, under Oak Beverages, who is the primary distributor for New York.
I think with all the news surrounding BBDA last week, and the news expected to come out this week, we have a good chance for BBDA to see an increase in pps with the possibility of a run. With or without an increase or run, I still maintain that BBDA is an accumulate and hold for me, as the news seems to get better and better with every release.

BBDA - LOTS and LOTS going on with BBDA this weekend! This stock still remains a long term hold for me, however, the company is making lots of moves to get themselves both on store shelves and out in the public eye...
As you know, I ordered a 4-pack of Potencia last week. My son saw the Piranha Water in the fridge this afternoon, and after just allowing me to take a swig, proceeded to finish of the bottle and pose for a couple pictures... I think he wants next in line for a BBDA sponsorship deal!
His pics: http://docs.google.com/View?docid=dg222242_10tnq9rf3x&pageview=1&hgd=1&hl=en
Other pics were also posted today on the ihub board (not of my son) and can be viewed at: http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=38678752
In other BBDA news, the "About Us" page of the http://bebidabeverages.com website was updated today, to remove ties of the old ownership which had previously been posted on http://bebidabeverages.com/about.html...
BBDA also has a VERY busy weekend ahead. On Monday, BBDA announced that they had renewed the contract of MMA fighter Dan "The Outlaw" Hardy (http://www.marketwire.com/press-release/Bebida-Beverage-Company-1000753.html). Hardy will be fighting on June 13th in UFC 99 which is available on PPV. It should also be available on the internet on http://www.channelsurfing.net/ The PPV event airs at 3pm and 10pm EST, so try checking out that site sometime around then.
On Tuesday BBDA announced that a last minute sponsorship opportunity presented itself to BBDA to sponsor the #02 truck with driver Andy Ponstein for the upcoming Michigan Camping World Truck Series race (http://www.marketwire.com/press-release/Bebida-Beverage-Company-1001365.html). Ponstein came in 29th in practice 1 timing and 30th in practice 2 timing today. Qualifying takes place today (Sat June 13th) at 9:30 am, and the race begins at 2pm EST and can be seen live on Speed TV!
Also today, BBDA will be present at NYC's 116th Street Festival, getting product infront of more than 1 Million visitors (http://ih.advfn.com/p.php?pid=nmona&cb=1244868403&article=37664787&symbol=NO%5EBBDA). BBDA will have 6 sampling/selling booths spread throughout the hispanic-dominated 28 city blocks! Potencia and Piranha logos will adorn over 60,000 flyers, posters and advertisements for the event along with a 15-foot banner on a main stage set for performers...
BBDA sponsored NASCAR driver Dillon Oliver (and his car) will be included in the event, and Oliver will be signing autographs. A NASCAR car in a NYC Festival will surely create a crowd for Brian Weber and BBDA. I fully expect a press release early next week announcing the success of this event as well as the results from Ponstein in the Michigan 200 and Dan Hardy in UFC 99.
This will be followed next week by BBDA and Dillon Oliver in the Milwaukee Mile June 19th. This time he will make his second career start in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series behind the wheel of the Corrie Stott Racing Chevy Silverado. "After a fantastic 5th place finish in last month's ASA event it was an easy decision for Potencia & Piranha Water to back another event where Dillon can continue his career path toward the NASCAR Sprint Cup series," says Bebida CEO Brian Weber.

Stock Email (ARTI Included): Exciting Weekend! Sent June 13th
Hello All - hope you all had as much fun as I did watching your stocks this week... As the weekend is upon us, I wanted to send out an update on a few things. ARTI, BBDA and the launch of the Million Dollar March!
First off, ARTI - very happy with the last week or so for all of you that remain holding ARTI, or those of you just getting into this stock. It definitely looks like the time is now for the run in which we've all been expecting.
Having dropped to a low of .0020 on 06/05, ARTI closed out the week at a solid .0054 today, a gain of 170%! The most interesting thing to me, the news and happenings for ARTI get better and better. If you have been following ARTI, you already know, today, Saturday June 13th is ARTI's "Sizzling Summer Saturday" art extravaganza at the Company's 52,000 square foot Expo Center in Dallas, Texas.
The event will take place from 11 am to 5 pm CST and will feature numerous artists as well as a live appearance by Sir Earl Toon, one of the original members of the pop group "Kool and the Gang." For a full version of this press release, click here: http://www.marketwire.com/press-release/Artfest-International-Inc-1000575.html
I would fully expect a PR come Monday morning from ARTI announcing the success of this event, and look for this one to continue to rise. It is my belief that this is a "mini" ARTI run as the announcement of the Charity Sports Distributor is also due any day. My projection following that release is a peak in the .02 - .05 range.

Stock Email: Exciting Weekend! Sent June 13th
Hello All - hope you all had as much fun as I did watching your stocks this week... As the weekend is upon us, I wanted to send out an update on a few things. ARTI, BBDA and the launch of the Million Dollar March!
First off, ARTI - very happy with the last week or so for all of you that remain holding ARTI, or those of you just getting into this stock. It definitely looks like the time is now for the run in which we've all been expecting.
Having dropped to a low of .0020 on 06/05, ARTI closed out the week at a solid .0054 today, a gain of 170%! The most interesting thing to me, the news and happenings for ARTI get better and better. If you have been following ARTI, you already know, today, Saturday June 13th is ARTI's "Sizzling Summer Saturday" art extravaganza at the Company's 52,000 square foot Expo Center in Dallas, Texas. The event will take place from 11 am to 5 pm CST and will feature numerous artists as well as a live appearance by Sir Earl Toon, one of the original members of the pop group "Kool and the Gang." For a full version of this press release, click here: http://www.marketwire.com/press-release/Artfest-International-Inc-1000575.html
I would fully expect a PR come Monday morning from ARTI announcing the success of this event, and look for this one to continue to rise. It is my belief that this is a "mini" ARTI run as the announcement of the Charity Sports Distributor is also due any day. My projection following that release is a peak in the .02 - .05 range.
Other ARTI press releases this week:

Next up, BBDA - LOTS and LOTS going on with BBDA this weekend! This stock still remains a long term hold for me, however, the company is making lots of moves to get themselves both on store shelves and out in the public eye...
As you know, I ordered a 4-pack of Potencia last week. My son saw the Piranha Water in the fridge this afternoon, and after just allowing me to take a swig, proceeded to finish of the bottle and pose for a couple pictures... I think he wants next in line for a BBDA sponsorship deal!
His pics: http://docs.google.com/View?docid=dg222242_10tnq9rf3x&pageview=1&hgd=1&hl=en
Other pics were also posted today on the ihub board (not of my son) and can be viewed at: http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=38678752
In other BBDA news, the "About Us" page of the http://bebidabeverages.com website was updated today, to remove ties of the old ownership which had previously been posted on http://bebidabeverages.com/about.html...
BBDA also has a VERY busy weekend ahead. On Monday, BBDA announced that they had renewed the contract of MMA fighter Dan "The Outlaw" Hardy (http://www.marketwire.com/press-release/Bebida-Beverage-Company-1000753.html). Hardy will be fighting on June 13th in UFC 99 which is available on PPV. It should also be available on the internet on http://www.channelsurfing.net/ The PPV event airs at 3pm and 10pm EST, so try checking out that site sometime around then.
On Tuesday BBDA announced that a last minute sponsorship opportunity presented itself to BBDA to sponsor the #02 truck with driver Andy Ponstein for the upcoming Michigan Camping World Truck Series race (http://www.marketwire.com/press-release/Bebida-Beverage-Company-1001365.html). Ponstein came in 29th in practice 1 timing and 30th in practice 2 timing today. Qualifying takes place today (Sat June 13th) at 9:30 am, and the race begins at 2pm EST and can be seen live on Speed TV!
Also today, BBDA will be present at NYC's 116th Street Festival, getting product infront of more than 1 Million visitors (http://ih.advfn.com/p.php?pid=nmona&cb=1244868403&article=37664787&symbol=NO%5EBBDA). BBDA will have 6 sampling/selling booths spread throughout the hispanic-dominated 28 city blocks! Potencia and Piranha logos will adorn over 60,000 flyers, posters and advertisements for the event along with a 15-foot banner on a main stage set for performers...
BBDA sponsored NASCAR driver Dillon Oliver (and his car) will be included in the event, and Oliver will be signing autographs. A NASCAR car in a NYC Festival will surely create a crowd for Brian Weber and BBDA. I fully expect a press release early next week announcing the success of this event as well as the results from Ponstein in the Michigan 200 and Dan Hardy in UFC 99.
This will be followed next week by BBDA and Dillon Oliver in the Milwaukee Mile June 19th. This time he will make his second career start in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series behind the wheel of the Corrie Stott Racing Chevy Silverado. "After a fantastic 5th place finish in last month's ASA event it was an easy decision for Potencia & Piranha Water to back another event where Dillon can continue his career path toward the NASCAR Sprint Cup series," says Bebida CEO Brian Weber.

Lastly, the Million Dollar March (MDM) goes live this week! The team will begin looking at selections for our first play which will be announced prior to the market opening on June 29th. Any stocks that you wish for the team to look into for that week need to be posted on the message board (http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/board.aspx?board_id=15517) before midnight on Sunday (June 14th) as the initial stocks to watch list will be posted at that time.

5k and 20k "insider" buys? hahaha Must mean news on Monday...
Correct, CSD has been in the works... But, ARTI received the funding for CSD on June 9th, a "WHOLE" 3 days ago...
Maybe you missed the PR:

Jun 09, 2009 08:31 ET
Have a good weekend. ARTI will be fun next week for sure!
The typical "pattern" if you will for ARTI is the same... ARTI sees sells in the mornings, EVERYDAY, and then closes strong.
Add to that the fact that the stock was just this week as low as .002 and as high today as .006 and you are BOUND to see flippers sell the 200% gain.
Add to that the fact that today is Friday, and most profit takers take on Friday, and I hardly see this as insider activity.
Now, when this afternoon rolls around,and the buys start hitting, are you going to tell me that the "insiders" are buying this up?
And when the company PRs the success of this weekends next week, will that too be "insider" buying?
And lastly, when the CSD acquisition is announced (guessing next week) - and this runs to in my opinion, the .03-.05 range, will that too be all "insider" buying?
Of course not. ARTI is fine and the CSD acquisition WILL propel us to pennies...
GOOOO ARTI!
Chris
A special THANK YOU to the MMs today. Very pleased to see them shake the weak hands and flippers out of ARTI in the last half hour.
Getting them out here at .004 will be a BLESSING when the Charity Sports Acquisition is announced... They won't be able to tank our run seeing as they're selling here
And per ARTI CEO, we can expect the PR anytime...
GOOOO ARTI!
Chris
Gonna be plenty of chatter (and chasers) once ARTI releases the PR announcing CSD...
We should be well on our way to the .02-.05 range by then!
GOOOO ARTI!
Chris
1 million ARTI shares bought at 0045 since 2:30! NO SELLS
VERY NICE to see the ARTI ask get slapped for 100k shares followed minutes later by a 500k share SLAPP...
Still maintaining my belief that we see .03-.05 very quickly one the CSD deal is announced, which, according to the company, could be as soon as tomorrow.
Powe hour should be fun,
ANOTHER 200333 just hit ARTI ask!
WOOOOT GOOOO ARTI
Chris
I personally have not followed that one...
Chris
Welcome aboard! Feel free to post some stocks you like and any links or homework you have on them. Our first watch list will go live on June 15th, so picks need to be posted here by the 14th!

Email from ARTI CEO Edward Vasker!!!!
As you already know, ARTI has had a lot going on this past week, and from the sounds of my latest email from Mr. Vasker, bigger and better things are very near.
We have already seen increases of 67% and 13% respectively for ARTI in the past two days. Edward himself has told us that the CSD deal should be announced any day, and in addition to ARTI's event this weekend, they announced another major event scheduled for June 23rd. It is my belief that we see a PR announcing the CSD acquisition either this Friday or Monday, before or after this weekends event, and I still am targeting the .02-.05 range (after this announcement).
This one may however, be a good one to hold longer, say Q2 or Q3 at least, as the revenues from CSD will be included in those quarterly reports, and Edward is elluding to many great things in the near future.

Chris, just got back from a late night dinner with yet another investor group from New York. We are making a great buzz with the right people. As you may know, everyone is always waiting to “see” who will jump in first, and then they MAY follow…..well, I’m very excited about our program.
First of all, I really do appreciate all that even care to look at us, and if they do invest, I just hope they see the real deal. Even some of the guys on the Blog, like capt Jim, its all good…they don’t know us, and my background. This is their money, and they will just have to do what’s right for them.
I got a real (yet another), VOTE OF CONFIDENCE FROM THE SHOW. Artfest is definitely on the right track. The new “Gold Standard” is getting a lot of notice, so I feel vindicated that we are on the verge of something great! But, as a disclaimer, I still feel that I’m at a very sensitive position. As you know, I’m only disclosing what is already a public knowledge, and yet, I find it difficult to contain my excitement.
Many of my friends ( who are analysts ), tell me that ARTI is even at a greater level than I KNOW. So, I think that it’s comical that some may think that we are not what we say (or think), who we are.
So, in closing. Please consider this an invitation to you, and whomever may see this note, to a visit to our Expo Center in Dallas. And if we DO NOT impress, or answer the questions to the investors satisfaction, then I will refund their tickets myself…….We will have several “Investor Forums,” but we will also see visitors on ”off schedule.” Please reserve the visit times with our main # 877-278-6672….and I will make sure that they see the ”REAL DEAL”. Have a GREAT night and thanx for the support.
Best regards,

Million Dollar March: Important Updates... June 11 2009
Hi guys... Sorry for the late email... But as you guessed it, I'm still up working at 1:35 am and have some things I needed to get out to you all...
As you know, Arnaud Ouvier and I have spent hours on end (with the help from many in the chatroom) to develop the "Million Dollar March" program, which will use a team effort to turn each of our $1000 initial investment into $1 million in 1 year.
That being said, there are a few updates that I have to pass along.
First off, the "MDM" webpage/message board is located here:
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/board.aspx?board_id=15517
If you have not already done so, please take a minute to visit the page, click "Add to Favorite" on the ihub page, and sign up for the "MDM" email list. Future emails regarding this program will eventually all go through that email list as members outside of this email list have been joining.
If you have been to the page, I have made several updates tonight... (any links below are also shown on the webpage).
1. Calendar: shows all dates that picks and lists will be posted as well as dates that you will be able to vote on the stocks to watch list and final selections:
http://www.google.com/calendar/hosted/acnrep.com/embed?src=acnrep.com_dv0173eqm36ddq1clat62817ps%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America/New_York
2. "Frequently Asked Questions" page has been created:
http://docs.google.com/View?id=dg222242_1cm4srddm
3. The spreadsheet that I created last week using a stock screener has also been updated tonight. I was curious to see how the stocks on the initial "test run" of the stocks to watch list performed over the past 5 trading days. We had some major runners! Take a look in the next day or so as a "live" list will be posted on June 15th!
4. Please start posting potential stocks that you would like the group to look into on the message boards. It would be helpful that any links and current DD be posted along with the ticker so the team can discuss possible plays prior to the list being created. In addition to the stock screener, I will include all stocks that the team discusses on the boards during the week, so if you have one you want included, it needs to be posted on the board no later than June 14th.
As always, feel free to reply to this email with any questions you may have. See you all in the morning!
Happy Trading!
Chris
Yeah, ordered directly from http://www.potenciaenergydrink.com/
$8.99 - no tax or shipping got me the 4 cans of Potencia, 1 bottle of Piranha Water and the bumper sticker / poster in less than a week...
Chris
BBDA - I just received my order of Potencia today... If someone here as Brian's AOL address, please PM me as I would like to send this to him...

POWER HOUR!
Another strong finish today will just set us up better for when the CSD deal is announced hopefully Friday/Monday...
And this weekend's event, and the event on June 23rd...
Each uptick from now until CSD will just make that run sweeter imo..
GOOO ARTI!
Chris
Very cool... will be cracking open the Potencia at market's close... Was hoping for a t-shirt like others received, maybe they were out of 2XL haha...
Very nice presentation in terms of packaging though!
This is very true in regards to Ihub just having a posrtion of outstanding shares...
I myself have around 1.2 million shares of BBDA which have never been "claimed" on this site. I also send out a weekly stock email to more than 100 investors, most of whom own BBDA. I'm guessing somewhere in the neighborhood of 50 million or so may be held with the people that receive my emails...
On a side note, I ordered a 4 pack of Potencia on Thursday of last week... It was just delivered. Its in the fridge chillin right now, but will post pictures and thoughts after the market closes today.
I will say, each can was individually bubble wrapped, and included in the package was a bottle of Piranha Water, a poster, bumper sticker and other promo material.
The bottle of Piranha Water says exactly the opposite of what people are saying about BBDA funding Potencia.
I ordered a Potencia product, from a Potencia website, and included FREE was a BBDA product... paid for at the expense of Potencia's postage account
Lots going on here and all positive imo!
ARTI Chart: All indicators pointing towards a run!
http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=ARTI&p=D&yr=0&mn=3&dy=0&id=p73042061725
The chart is setting up BEAUTIFULLY! Take a look! Then factor in....
- The CSD acquisition (which brings $3.3 million in revenues PER Year) that we hope to see Friday/Monday
- ARTI event this weekend (June 13th)
- ARTI PR next week (expected) announcing sucess of June 13th event
- ARTI event PR'd today (June 23rd)
http://www.marketwire.com/press-release/Artfest-International-Inc-1001933.html
Very excited here about the next couple weeks. Still figuring we see ARTI in the .02-.05 range, in my opinion, after CSD!
GOOOOO ARTI!
Chris
POWER HOUR!
Next buy rids us of that .0025 MM paint job, glad to see no one selling...
Guessing we may test the high of day before close, only 1 MM at .003 and 2 @ .0034 before reaching .004 again...
Time to slap that ask with some dry powder!
ARTI's typical pattern of frequent buying between 3-4 pm should close us very nicely!
ARTI now back to .0032! Looking at L2 I show:
1 MM @ .0032
2 MM @ .0034
1 MM @ .004
1 MM @ .0065
1 MM @ .0072
1 MM @ .008
1 MM @ .013
and 1 MM @ .027
This one is super thin all the way over .02 - good volume during Power Hour should close us up around .004 (high of day) or above, and the pending CSD announcement, in my opinion, should spike us big time...
Chris
Not sure that I call 1 investor taking profit a run stopper, but funny thing is, this isn't even the run imo...
The "run" will start when ARTI releases the CSD press release (hopefully by end of week) - and then, IMO, there is no stopping the run till .02-.05
Interesting that we're up 89% and NONE of the 3 chatrooms I watch are talking about it yet...
http://www.stockhideout.com/visichat/
http://www.thehotpennystocks.com/
http://www.investorschat.com/ic_full.php
I can only imagine how high today's close would be if they see the press release and start getting on board with ARTI...
GOOOOO ARTI!
Chris
Email from ARTI CEO at 8:55 this AM:
Chris, that looks great! Thank you for keeping people informed. Now that the news is out, our plan for growth and acquisitions is ready to be executed. Thank you for your help.
