they released news on SS months ago.
It should be his/their responsibility to update the 'public'
as to the status of the aformentioned release.
either its still an active issue-
or another JANX.
we have a right to know.

raw-explain it?? if he explained it-----
it would have CONFIRMED he was a nut case-
(like the rest of us here,- I guess.)
mugs
tw-funny though-if you check it out-
you will find July has been a very good moving month for Trudy. we went from .003 to .01 a few times during this period. for what reasons- I have no clue.
so- lets hope July moves this year also.
mugs
gator-ok. but you bought 4-5 million at 'retail'
and said you were 'long' -how did that happen?
as a matter of fact- you even posted an exit strategy- saying you would liquidate a few million at .015. another million at .02, and hold the remainder for 5-10 cents. (as I recall, approx)
you dupin us?
mugs
gator-I wish you well also-
but I dont understand your interest here.
you shared with us you had +/- 5mil shares when you were pumping this thing like crazy. I think you said you were in at .012 as memory serves. after the good Q reports, and Disney/SS news- the S/P went up more than 200%, yet by your own admission- you sold for roughly a .0003 gain- basically at your cost. and there were commissions to boot.
this indicates a to me that you we not confident in this company- and wanted out with your 'skin'.
Now you want back in at sub-penny (which isnt happining, BTW-)
you basically panicked to get out-and want to re-up-????
'splain plz if Ucare to-??
We need a good answer here-don't waffle.
mugs
sam-'without support from the other longs'-??
most here are holding our cards- tightly. that is all the support needed. if a bunch comes available- I, as well as others will be bidding. now is the time to accumulate. Raw thinks he can buy better. good luck to him. it has'nt happen yet- and time may not be on that side of thinking. just because everyone doesn't have the time or opportunity tom has to post- don't think we are losing interest. good things are happening. that TT splash last week- it is not of insignifigance. there was a reason for that.
mugs
what the @#/*& with the spread???-
its like-
they dont want anyone to sell- and raising the ask to .01-
they dont want anyone to buy--
tom--funny, I watched niteline last nite-
and you mentioned in your post;
Do you have any idea of how many parents of 3-10 year old children there are out there with lots of money to spend on child developement/entertainment...????
They said people are ON WAITING LISTS to pay $12,000 a year to send their 2-4 year olds to private pre-schools.
If Trudy markets these Disney and SS products aggressivly in these stores-there evidently is a HUGE potential in these 'yuppie' parents with $$ to throw at their beloved rug rats.
Times change. I took my kids to Chucky Cheese, and the local library. Now these people live to spend money on early education for these little buggers.
it's no longer 'let them eat cake'
it's now: 'Let Them Buy Trudy'
mugs
tom-probably because-unless I'm mistaken-
the SS deal was just 'in principle' the last I heard-
so they prob didnt want to tout that. I think the actual contract wasnt reported yet. I'm stillwaiting for the PR which explains Trudy's direction on this- it could be our next nice POP!.
And think about it- someone had to contact TT for this coverage-
Hmmmmmm--??
could it be our bud FH?
if he's payin for a 'feature' here- just speculating-
maybe somethings coming very soon-
mugs
if some of uguys would stop pinchin pennies
and put in a bid at the ask- we could get this thing movin- that is if you REALLY believe in Trudy's future-
mugs
COSTCO= China Over Seas Trading Company. A wholly owned Chinese company. I for one- was shocked to learn this.
Everyone I talked to also did not know. I saw a TV show on them. They are brutal discounters, and have WalMart in their sights.
Finding out this after the fact of Trudy dealing withthem made my stomach turn.
I hope they learned a lesson. But Trudy does negotiate from a higher plain now, with SS, and Disney,
plus the (good??) experience of getting pummeled.
mugs
'costco did a number on them'-Raw-
indeed. sell your soul to the devil, they say-
do you know what 'costco' stands for?
mugs
disaster? a little harsh, but understandable-
from someone who had over 4million shares- and admittedly parted with them for a mere $1500--+/-
I dont understand your trading stategy- but it seems flawed, at best.
The last Q, IMO- indicates a company in transition- upward, not downward. you know the initiatives- and in my heart- I believe you want to stock-up with cheap shares, knowing the potential of the Disney, and SS contracts.
that said- the company is being very neglegent-and foolish in not releasing news on the progress, strategy, and implementation of the new Disney and SS products.
This negativity alone will move the price down more than your
nonsense posts.
'mark my words' you said. nobody has gator. When Fell gets out a news release with some new titles, distribution network, or private line of credit approval- we'll be watching you in the rear view mirror.
mugs
gator-I too would like some at 007-but
your nonsense posting will not get it there.
you try to start a rumor that the 10Q will be very negative.
do you realy think you can get traction on a baseless claim like that? people are smarter.
you offer no backup to your claim whatever.
it is 'your opinion' only, and should be duly noted as such.
the last quarterly reports offer nothing but positives here.sure- sales-profits were down a little-but promoting/producing Disney and Sesame Street products by its own merit take Trudy out of the sub-penney arena.
PLEASE-
if you know more than the rest of us-(which I doubt)
tell us WHY the next Q will be so bad. and dont give us that anomolous Trudy 'past history' drumbeat.
we all know that already.
If you dont have more than that- please preface your dire predictions with IMO, or IMHO.
those three or four letters would add to your credibility.
;)

mackie-up to his old tricks? SEC sued lastweek-
did you see this?

gator-tired of waiting for a lower price?-
Trudy is not the Geico of the investing world.
I just saved 700$ with Geico by replying to a pop-up add.
LOLOL true-true. and I NEVER respond to pop-ups. S0-
I will try to get 700$ of Trudy at .01.
It may not happen- but even a partial fill would be nice.
is it true for every buy- someone has to sell?
Hahaha.
this is a TEST my fellow Trudites. I shall let you know.
but it seems Tom is right.
nobody is gonna load-up here big-time under a penny.

check this one out real close-full release-
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
2006-50
Washington, D.C., April 6, 2006 - The Securities and Exchange Commission today filed an emergency enforcement action in federal court charging two New York men, Faisal Zafar and Sameer Thawani, with perpetrating an ongoing securities fraud over the Internet. The complaint alleges that since late 2004 and as recently as March 2006, Zafar and Thawani have engaged in a "pump and dump" scheme to manipulate the market for at least 24 thinly traded "microcap" or "smallcap" stocks. The defendants made over $873,000 by purchasing the stocks, anonymously disseminating false information about the companies on popular Internet message boards, and then selling the stocks at artificially inflated prices.
To deceive investors into buying these stocks, the defendants have preyed on public fears about terrorism and international health epidemics, among other topics. For example, after the London subway bombings and reports concerning a deadly "bird flu" virus, Zafar posted messages falsely stating that one issuer was receiving a contract from the Department of Homeland Security to improve security on New York City subways, and that another issuer was acquiring a company that produces "bird flu" vaccine.
Acting on the Commission's application for emergency relief, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York issued a temporary restraining order that, among other things, froze the defendants' assets and set a date for a hearing on the Commission's motion for entry of a preliminary injunction against further violations and other relief while the action is pending.
Mark K. Schonfeld, Director of the Commission's Northeast Regional Office, said, "Today's action underscores the Commission's continued vigilance against all forms of fraud involving the microcap market. Investors who participate in this segment of our capital markets are entitled to know that the securities laws will be vigorously enforced against all violators."
David Rosenfeld, Associate Regional Director of the Northeast Regional Office, added, "The defendants preyed on innocent investors by using the relative anonymity of the Internet to manipulate the market. We have acted today to stop a brazen fraud and hold the perpetrators responsible for the harm they caused investors."
The Commission's complaint further alleges as follows:
After buying shares at prevailing market prices, Zafar and Thawani used online aliases to post messages touting the stock and containing phony press release excerpts or other fake "news" about the issuer to deceive investors. In addition to capitalizing on actual events in the news, the phony headlines concocted by the defendants have also included false claims of huge business contracts, mergers and strategic alliances between these little-known issuers and an array of major corporations -- such as Google, Kmart and Sun Microsystems -- and other dramatic developments designed to make the targeted stocks appear to be surefire investment opportunities.
Zafar and Thawani are engaged in a classic Internet "pump and dump" manipulation scheme whose basic structure is as follows: (1) one or both of the defendants purchase shares of the issuer's stock in their online brokerage accounts; (2) the defendants register multiple online identities ("User IDs") with Internet message board services; (3) the defendants post multiple messages attributed to their User IDs on Internet message boards devoted either to the touted stock or to other, more widely followed stocks; (4) the messages contain materially false statements about the issuer and urge other investors to buy the stock; and (5) as soon as the stock price increases due to purchases spurred by the false statements, the defendants sell their shares at the inflated price for a quick profit. After their sales, the price of the stock quickly returns to its pre-manipulation level. These events sometimes all occur within the span of a single day.
The defendants have created at least 300 different User IDs and have used them to post well over one thousand messages fraudulently touting the stock of at least 24 small-cap issuers, some of them on multiple occasions. The defendants created these multiple online aliases in order to conceal their identities from investors and make it appear as if the same breaking "news" is coming from multiple independent sources. More recently, the defendants have also targeted specific investors by posing as moderators of Internet user groups devoted to low-priced stocks and sending emails to the group members while simultaneously posting false messages on different Internet message boards about the same stock under different user names. These emails purport to alert investors to imminent news about the stock and urge them to capitalize by buying the stock before the "news" is made public.
The complaint charges Zafar and Thawani with violations of the antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws. In addition to permanent and preliminary injunctive relief, the complaint seeks disgorgement of all illegal profits and the imposition of civil monetary penalties.
The Commission acknowledges the cooperation of the United States Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York and the Federal Bureau of Investigation in this matter.

tom- Uknow-greed is a funny thing-
at these levels- waiting for 007 is insignifigant v/s the chance of missing a buy at 1 cent. greed is a form of mind control. 007 or 01- for 3 ticks its not worth taking the chance imo.
but then again- if its just a game to some- go for it.
I guess thats why vegas has such an attraction.
two months ago these guys would have killed for 01 shares.
mugs
rich-Ubring up a good point we dance around-
and you are SOOO correct. we may drop below 01 for a very short period filling small gaps. just like the milli-second we posted the yearly "high" of 11 cents- for what- a 500 share buy?
LOLOLOL.
point being- its also my opinion when it drops below 01- no one will be filled more than a few thousand shares. the thoughts of loading up- it aint gonna happen. if they see large blocks the ask will immediately go back above 01 after a few nominal fills.
thats kinda what I've been beating around- but you put it very nicely.
mugs
raw-UR forgetting 1 minor detail-
TRDY is extremely undervalued at current levels-
I think even you brought up this issue documenting PE stats a while back-
remember- this is not performing like a normal OB penny scam-
we have income-customers-contracts-and private financing, which hardly ANY other pennies have.
undervalued.
seasonally week report?
that comes with the territory of a growing company, with an income statement- not just a dilusional 10K report showing millions in death spiral losses normally seen here.
but again- you know all this- or you wouldnt be here.
;)
mugs
Chit-Tom! UR right. I'm already chasin this dog-
I just raised my bid to .012- and its now goin at .014.
What a POS.
mugs
I guess I must raise my bid to .012-
or miss the opp to buy under 1-1/2 cents.
who the heck is buyin this dog?
who the heck is keepin the price up?
mugs
they must-be out of shares- not one share bought
yesterday or today-
I've had a buy in at 007 for 2 days-
yep- yep-
they must be flat out of shares to sell.
;)
mugs
gator-success means recognizing trends-
this is not the same Trudy
you are a flawed unit.
mugs
gator-if you dont have any shares to sell-
who is going to put selling pressure to lower the price?
I dont see anyone heading for the exit here-
do you believe in magic?
mugs
gator-UR dilussional. nobody is selling here-
I know you want to buy in at 007- but get realistic.
the indicators point only to this going up.
you could have bought at an even penny last week.
not any more.
c
Chaser. it's a great headache preventitive.
Chaser. it's also what you are gonna be.
mugs
GOING UP. score: mugsy 1, raw 0.
lets see how long I can stay in the lead.
;)
mugs
Old Trudy-New Trudy. Old Trudy-New Trudy--
some of you guys have'nt figured it out yet.
Old Trudy-New Trudy-
Old Trudy-New Trudy-
keep waiting for the sub-penny drop.
get left behind.
nobody's selling here.
this is not your fathers trudy.
new trudy-new trudy.
mugs
rob-it's all about greenbacks-
and if you read the info DD attached above- you will see Trudy is a no brainer. first- dont pay attention to gator. he has a good trading strategy, but been in that Florida sun too long. Him-n-raw are trying for shares under a penny- but reverse greed may not work here anymore. too much positive news-too many people bought in at 2cents last month to sell. thats why we are holding a penny. yeah-it could go down a100/th or two-but just one more initiative announced, or even finalized terms with SesameStreet- its back above 2 cents to stay- and climbing with volume. alot of folks are watching here.
waiting for a few ticks lower may burn some of these guys.
This is not the same old Trudy we knew.
mugs
so-raw. your putting yourself out there-
sub penny guaranteed-huh?
will you feel made whole when we slip to .0099 for a few hours?
then you can say-'told-ya so'--??
;)
mugs
brig-whatsurproblem? sounds like you screwed up-
and missed you exit- or maybe didnt get to your exit point-huh?
please spare us your negativity. act like a grown-up.
take your medicine like a man.
mugs
hey gator- ugota problem- were goin up-notdown-
I still luv ya- but you make a MUCH better pumper than you do a basher. LOLOLOLOLOL!
the technicals are just toooooo solid here. nobody's sellin this puppy. besides- think about it--
we have a TON of newbies who bought millions at 2cents and above with the SS news, and 10Q.
no way is this going to retrace below 01.
mugs
gator-your investment strategy is flawed-
the past years after Dec- we didnt have Disney- we didnt have Sesame- we didnt have Patty. this is a different company now. the past is exactly that- the past.
If your're not in at the next PR- you will be chasing-
mugs
raw-backlog, yes-and what other deals in works?
the Sesame Street deal came out of the blue. It would seem very high percentage others are in the works- with ms Sullivans past ventures. You think Disney and SS are just a pig in the poke?
big things comming here. soon, too-imo.
mugs
wow. a fluff announcement. 1st ever for Trudy
Vety cool, cin! Thanks for the 'heads-up.mugs
zen-I thought the SS news was timed impecably-
but now- knowing what Fell new last Friday- it was a debacle of high magnitude. I guess he is just not had the experience to understand the markets- or-maybe he doesnt care.
Knowing the report wasnt up to expectations-releasing the SS news immediately after the 10Q would have really buoyed us up-maintained the 2-3cent range, imo.
unless of course someone was shorting this puppy he knew-
but there wasnt enough dumping to support that theory.
(but then again- 5mil shares at 1.3 cents is 65 grand---)
LOLOLOL!
