It also could be a step closer to further dilution , the shell hasn't been obtained yet , I sure they won't pay for it out of " petty cash " lol How long until any of this will affect the bottom line ? Too long. A lot can happen in 6 months to a year, just look at the past 6 months.
Sloth, this is a stock board ( I think ) I owned sivc, sold and took a loss. Its called trading, I had every intention of buying back in at a more reasonable price, if you go back and read my posts, I explained why I sold and why I thought the sp was going to tank. Don't shoot the messenger, I have every right to voice my opinion on this co and what they do or don't do. And I never said " I told you so " I honestly think its a shame how much money some of you guys have thrown into this pipe dream of Jim Bickels. I'm not a " non- investor, and I only complain when I feel I've been cheated. I also post on other boards and only joined i-hub because of sivc m/b. You might be a good guy, but you imo are a lousy trader, so cut out the name-calling, or better yet we could compare portfolios, you might learn a thing or two. And one more time, don't blame " bashers " for your bad trades, this co has and always will be their own worst enemy. Stevie Wonder could see that.
How about 4881 ? I was just refuting that scathing post by the sloth, all lies I might add. Is sloth your brother in law or something ? Seems he can post whatever he wants here, whether its true or not. I know it hurts being long here, but don't take it out on others.
This is just one example, these people must be fooling you..... whata ya think ??
I'm just wondering, is there a post of yours concerning S3 that has actually come to fruition ? You seem in touch with the co but you are usually way off with your assessments. tia
I would go with dumb, but thats your business. Into any other " tankers " ?? Maybe you should sit back and listen for a while, I think you have a lot to learn. jmo
Scoobie Do, for what possible reason was post # 4879 deleted ? Guess I'll hang around a little longer now.... this is getting interesting....
I wouldn't hold my breath holter, why use his money when he has an atm at his disposal ? This is a bad apple holter, it was very hard for me to sell and take a loss but I did it. Its tanked 50% since then with no sign of a reversal, in fact I believe another r/s will be in the near future. I'm not suggesting you sell, but I hope you resist buying any more until you see some kind of turnaround by management ( like the removal of the ceo ). A while back everyone's jumping up and down as fsin was taking off, now we find out they sold some... how many ? You will never know what is really going on here, until its too late. I'd have a little more respect for this sham if it worked lol but they can't even run that right anymore. The word is out, look at the volume and the pr's released, they're not fooling anyone. jmo and good-luck to you, I'm out of here, I've said my piece and am no longer interested in buying back. The END check it out.
You came a little late to the party but I think you finally saw the light. You called me a " piece of work " for complaining about this band of thieves. Well, guess what ? Everything I've said about this bunch of pickpockets is true, its a shame so many had to lose their hard earned money here...a real shame. jmo
I wonder how many shrs of fsin were sold and at what pps ? Since no shells have been bought yet where did the money go ? I also don't buy the pink sheet explanation, what did MCF really find in S3's closet ? Reinstatement would have been a breeze if the only problem was the ommission of the auditors statement. A few answers and more questions, and the undeniable truth that things happen at S3, things shrhldrs find out about months after the fact that should have been made public, and that trend will never cease. jmo
None of it surprises me, I thought all along if the news was good investors wouldn't have to beg for it. The thing I didn't count on was the fact they're selling fsin, this stinks, really..... what stops them from dumping all of it ?
You're absolutely right, anyone that held this long is so far in the red it wouldn't make any sense to sell now. The thing thats killing it is the fact that " surprises " from this co are not usually nice....I try to measure downside risk / upside potential..... seems like a stalemate at this point in time. But I would have to lean towards some upside potential, its that why sell now theory lol gl
Are you kidding ? The volume has almost dried up, seems to get worse every time the ceo speaks..... there's an old childrens book " The Boy Who Cried Wolf " you should read it again, it really is what you're witnessing here to the " T ".
This is trading at .00006 pre split. There's a reason for that I assure you, imo it will not clear up soon. Its a lose/lose situation, he answers the " tough questions " honestly and its a killer...he dodges the " tough questions " and its a killer. My guess is it'll be the latter, otherwise why not just have a shareholders meeting ? They must be scratching their heads on this one, how do you say you screwed the investors without actually saying it ? Stay tuned...
Gee, I almost feel sorry for the co after reading of all the hardships they face lol. Two things killed this stock and helped to erode all investor confidence imo. The pinky slide and the surprise r/s. The pinky gift in itself was not the problem as was the explanation and the failed promise to correct the mistake that was pr'd . A simple omittance of the auditors consent, lol, now they say they are not compliant ! The r/s imo crippled this stock, like everyone knew it would including the co who decided it was time to " attract new investors. lol Blame Sarbane Oxley if you like, but I blame the ceo and the ir dept for the current condition of this co, why do you think after all this time none of the important issues have been addressed ? It would take all but 15 minutes to have addressed any of the questions that have been posted here, shrhldrs shouldn't have to beg for the truth. You can't blame Sarbane Oxley for the r/s or the filing " mishap " or the missleading statementS from IR.
I like it too, but I thought the distribution agreement had already been a done deal. Just be carefull, things always appear to be progressing well with this co..... I guess you can see what I mean by the fact that they can release almost anything at this point in time and it has no effect on the pps, other than it might drop a little. They seem to want to run it, all they need to do is replace the ceo, imo it doubles on that news alone. What news were you talking about ? Abaxis ?
I still wonder why S3 said the the e-mail didn't come from Vostoich ? It is what it is, whats the big deal ? From: investors@s3investments.com

According to Vladimir, that email did not come from him. He was recently
in
China with SINO UJE, where they showed the Abaxis line. That answer,
wherever
it came from, does not make sense in given that fact. We will get
Vladimir to
address it directly. He is directly involved with S3 on the Abaxis
launch in
China."
I like that list Holter, especially that " cock and bull " remark but don't you think he will just answer the easy questions ? Most if not all of the tough ones surely would have been addressed if they were favorable to shrhldrs. I am still shocked by the reaction to the last pr, sivc needs a change in leadership, that would turn this stock right around. A pr like that and the pps drops !! Unbelievable. gl

Subject: RE: sfda approval
Dear ********
The statement in my previous e-mail is correct insofar as Abaxis has not
received jet a formal document from the Chinese FDA. Also, the details
for the distribution agreement between Abaxis and Sino UJE are being
worked out as we speak.
Please address further questions to Mr. Jim Bickel, CEO of Sino UJE
Sincerely,
Vladimir Ostoich,
VP Marketing Pacific Rim
Abaxis
lol You think its wrong to e-mail the ceo of another co ? After Jim B. said there was sfda approval obtained by sino ? You think its wrong to embarrass sivc ? After the way they've embarrassed each and every one of you ? lol I'm sorry if I " annoyed " Abaxis, but I plan to keep on annoying them until I get a simple truthfull answer to my question. I think you're venting to the wrong person, contact IR, tell them how frustrated you are, I'll take care of my business...OK ?
You think its that easy ? You are robbed, you whine and vent, and then you move on ? lol That might be you, and I don't really care, but I'll move on when I'm ready. My advice to you is ignore my posts and wake up to what is really going on here.
lol You guys are hysterical, I mean how stupid do you think we are ?
lol see previous post
lol go blow smoke up someone else's a----
Man, you've been here that long and you still buy this ? I heard of Securesoft but never really looked into it, seemed like old news to me. As far as this board and its moderator, I really don't understand how anyone could still have any hope for their investment here, the R/S just killed this stock, as I knew it would, reverse splits are never forgiven in this game, and you're seeing evidence of that . This stinks to high heaven, and yet some here always seem to see the silver lining..... how do they sleep at nite ? I wonder... gl to you
Yeah I heard it, and I think its NOT true. I wonder why you have so much faith in him after all he's done to your investment ? Its time to see this co for what its worth....009 and falling
IMO this post should be deleted, or at least corrected. It is simply not true.
fwiw, I have just sent an e-mail to Clint Severson ( ceo of abaxis ). In it is all the correspondence between me and Mr. Ostoich and the statements made by s3 IR posted by scoopie. Someone is lying here and I'm only sure of the one person that isn't ME. I'll be sure to post Mr Severson's reply, it should be interesting. I'm wondering, s3 has called me a liar haven't they ? We'll see who's lying.
Why would they call posting an e-mail that came directly from Vladmir Ostoich an " antic of an anonymous e-mailer " ? I have and will keep all the e-mails I received from Me Ostoich and Clint Severson ( ceo of Abaxis ) Their authenticity can be proven at any time, this AND the remarks Jim made about the sfda approval proves without a doubt that no-one has a clue what to do or say anymore. Pathetic is the word I'm searching for. Here it is, tell them to sue me if they feel its a fake.... Sir,
Abaxis has nor received approval from the Chinese FDA; therefore a press
release is premature. Furthermore, a distribution agreement with Sino
UJE is not formalized jet.
Sincerely,
Vladimir Ostoich
VP Marketing Pacific Rim
I sent another e-mail explaining what I meant by " fraud ". I was not accusing abaxis, I explained that S3 has commented that it was not authentic, like maybe it was doctored by ME. That should clear things up and allow him to respond.
Finally got a response from Abaxis, second e-mail, first one was not answered, as you can see this is bizarre to say the least. Date: Fri, 1 Jun 2007 15:06:51 -0700

"Fraud" is a rather strong statement.
Could you be more specific? I can not comment otherwise.

Please respond asap, A copy will be sent to Mr. Severson thank you
Just my opinion, but a favorable rating at this point in time will do more for this pps than the last pr.... compare it to buying a used car with a warranty, or something like that.
Here's the link, it is August. http://www.pinksheets.com/about/pr_042407.jsp
Let me clarify, what I'm saying is if they do pr their rating, as pbls did, that would be a real catalyst. I don't fully agree with you that some investors are not waiting, especially with this stock. Why ? Because this stock is real imo, its not the normal pos pinky that's been flipped to death. Its a stock you might think about actually " investing " in. imo there is a difference. I wish you luck, we all need it.( btw, its my understanding that ALL pinks will be given a rating by August, you better check that out ) In other words the future is not that far away.
True, but with the low volume, one buyer could keep it up, which is what is happening imo, anyway I wish you luck with it, just keep in mind this new pink sheet rating thing, I think its going to affect a lot of these stocks. gl
Eric, I'm not implying that its not legit, I'm just saying how they get rated will have a bearing on the pps. Its public perception, look at the volume today.... no one is jumping in at the moment, there's a reason for that, that is just my opinion. gl
One way to play it, if you really are " excited " about the abaxis line is to just buy the abax stock, that way you're covered should actual sfda approval ever happen. In other words don't put all your eggs in one basket, especially this basket. jmo
I have a serious question, and the last time this subject came up it resulted in childish name-calling. boo hoo ! The Pink Sheets Disclosure Categorization is underway starting in May. Where is dnni going to fall ? I think some of you aren't taking this seriously, but I am warning you all it will make a difference. As an example, check out pbls, they announced 3 weeks ago they are with the " current info " group....it has doubled since then, yes a couple of pr's but pr's are a norm for them. Point is it helped the pps imo. Anyone have the scoop ? You guys that are drinking cocktails with the ceo, hear anything ? tia
Hi, I was just wondering if you did in fact get any answers to the gentlemens concerns. tia
Now we're talking, .03, now if someone will just answer one question... is the pizza good ? I mean better than average ?
