Radman...Good evening to you...
Will you ever share with us your research from the begining of fall supporting your "shadiness" claims of the EZ2companies and its directors?
That buyins notice came out a few days after the original notice of 40 mill short. Volume would not suggest that many were covered.
question for the board.....does the 40 million plus shares that are short, bother anyone? Do you think there will be enough interest to force a squeeze?
Whats your take on ESNR Shakerzz
Mikey,
Could not make the call. Tending to one of my twin daughters. What was the chat summary?
Thanks
planned sale of 2 million from Rob? hmmmm
maybe some short covering
Good luck to you sir..
Greens...how about a message back to Otto requesting a public update on EZ2poker? If he can take the time to email you, he can update everyone at the same time with a PR. You seem to be in good standings with him.....just a thought
This is rediculous....I guess it is almost time to empty the dump truck....
Truly is a shame...What promise this company may have had, is wiped out because of something as simple as communication. Someones pride has caused complete blindness...
Too bad....Good Luck guys. I hope for the best and I hope I eat my words too
2006 score card: 1 for 2 on news
Afternoon Rad....could you elaborate a little on that one?
Agree, any of the recently stated ideas would be a pleasant departure from what we have seen up to this point.
All business issues aside, I just don't get the course of action the company has taken. Why would you want to continue upsetting the investing public, viable business or not? In some regard, we can be the best promoters of a new company that can't totally afford to advertise. Our reach as an investment group can not be under estimated. Unfortunately, there have not been too many reasons to promote other than hype. If this changes and credibility is restored, different ball game, but until then we deal with the grimm reality.
hk...You bring up a good point.
Between JB and Rad, I believe we have opposing views. It is my belief that we all fall in the middle leaning more towards JB. We believe (hope) that JB as the spokesperson of the company can shed some light on the situtation. Because we are invested, we put a lot of emotion on the line and faith in JB. Rad on the other hand, calls a spade a spade. I believe he is the voice of reason that can't be ignored and appreciate that in this case.
Im my opinion, in order to be a good trader, you have to check your emotions at the door and stick to a trading plan. I think we are getting to caught up in the emmotinal aspect of this game. Personally, it is time to take a step back and look at this for what it is.....A lotto ticket (maybe better than some). If this is a lotto ticket in your portfolio..great. However, if it is a primary holding, one should take a close look at their trading strategy.
I will get off my soap box...done for the day.
Zoran..I here ya. I was just adding to the point that you made.
Zoran, I know this was addressed to Mikey...
In your presfession, if you routinely dropped the ball and dissapointed many people time after time, wouldn't you be concerned with credibility, losing your job etc?
As a result, I am sure that you would make the appropriate changes to change that image of you. I think that is what many here are demanding.
Remember, most people in business will only remember the bad news. The good news is expected and dimsissed quickly.
I may eat my words tomorrow morning, but for now I maintain this position.
Greens... you are far too forgiving. I admire your optomism....this is like a merry go round....round and round..
Guys, I think we are trying to rationalize at this point why we should keep holding. I understand that delays happen. In that case, is it so hard to tell the investing public why there is a delay in the form of a PR? I don't care if it opens tomorrow night. There should still be some explanation for the delay. After all, the track record is horrible here. The thing that really disturbs me is the failure to recognize how far a PR of this nature would go with the shareholders. Even if it is bridging a day or two until the site opens. We will forever fumble in the .02's at this rate.
On the other hand, this failure can be turned around with a PR atrating something like this "Due to unforseen issues with software etc....". Whether that is the reason for the delay is beyond me, but I have no way of knowing that.
I have decided to give this two more weeks (opening of the poker site and update on music site) If there is no public update on either, this baby is all yours. Enough is enough and we should demand better communication...period.
Frustrating as delays are, it happens. Atleast we have some explanation of what is going on. Last year we would have been in the dark.
Rad, I respect your opinion and always have. Hopefully, this will finally swing to the upside.
Understand, but it was interesting how critical you were the past two months of the management and "shady" relationships etc that you eluded to......have a good weekend Rad.
Radman...you never explained this "interesting trail"
easy Heavy D. Just consoling a fellow investors.....
Mikey....I hear your frustration.....watching this stock has been a scene out of a bad suspense thriller. Keep your chin up and let this play out. I know you have good intentions.
Fingers are crossed for a better, more TRUETHFUL, 2006...
.25 = OCT 06
I'm with ya mikey......been in this thing too long to bail now, but it is attractive to sell based on recent track record. I think we long share holders have been much too trusting, forgiving, optomistic, abused, etc...
Just a lot of money to trust in these guys. I will trust that JB is what this company needs......
what would be your reasoning other than not tanking the stock?
sigh.....thinking about taking my lumps and moving on....I have a chance to completely offset capital gains by taking this loss or hold and hope for all this to come to fruition. tough call...any advice?
I would think this would be the case if I were to purchase the shares in my account. If I sell for a loss and have my wife's account buy the new shares explain to me why I would still have to wait for 31 days. Technically, my wife is buying the shares in her account not me.
Question for the tax buff's:
If I sell a stock that I am underwater on to take the offset in gains this year, could I open an account in my wifes name and buy the stock back the next day (or close to it?) if I file married filing jointly?
It would seem that it should be ok due to two separate soc sec numbers.
Appreciate the feedback...
Too funny....LMFAO
MAybe so, but I do not see any sensitive nature to the answers he as CTO should be able to provide. Maybe it is a sign a bigger things to come as some have mentioned.
I guess when we talk about the root of the issue anything is possible. Don't get me wrong, I have been with this company for over a year now. I have followed closely all of its developments and like what see in terms of business acquisitions and the disciplined use of its share structure or else I would not be here. My view is the EZ2poker is the last frontier for viable business. IF Ez2poker is a success, it could attract funding and obviously generate revenues. It still remains to be seen if the company has what it takes, beyond technology, to make it a reality. Now, if EZ2poker, goes by the wayside like I think all the other sites...well I guess we won't go there. Not saying there is not potential in any of the sites, but maybe a focused effort with the poker site is just what we need....and a little follow thru would be nice.
Point taken lady. Still does not sound like a recipe for success. Paul has always answered my emails and I think he is a standup guy, but I have to remove the personalities in assessment. All this could be silenced with a little communication. I can appreciate the startup growing pains. I have been there many times, but never did we bite the hand that fed us or ignored the powers that supported us. Never met a CTO that could not authorize funds to be spent in another segment of your business (we would call those EZ2bucks). That is if supercharged is still in the mix.
Lady,
I am aware of this, but the point I am trying to make is if Paul is CTO of EZ2companies his should be doing whats in the corporations best interest. Now, this is not to say he isn't, but from what I have read it appears to me that his loyalties may be elsewhere and wearing the title of CTO on his sleeve.
IMHO
Something does not make sense here (shocker!?!) I send Paul an email about the expired supercharged software license etc. His reply was after 1 year the license needs to be renewed and to ask Otto that question. As CTO you would think that items like this would be his responsiblity, not Otto's. I asked him exactly that and he deferred back to Otto. I find this very interesting since supercharged software was to be part of EZ2 last December. From this I can presume a few things.
1. Paul is aligned to supercharged software and polarizing the "paul Otto" relationship. If they were working together, I would think that Paul could take care of the license issue. The fact that these websites have been down for almost a week is totally unacceptable. Especially for paying customers.
2. Otto has no ability to delegate and is to far in the weeds
The more I think about the basics of running a company the more frustrated I get with EZ2.
T minus 3 days.....
It is really time to get serious here. We have been far too optomistic with the current information we have to work with. If Otto can't take his shareholders seriously, I can't take this company seriously. It is utter disregard to the shareholders that have stood by him.
Thats all for tonight....
Gracias...
How could 43 million shares be covered already since the buyin.net announcement? Have I been asleep and missed some volume? Could someone shed some light? Not that savvy when it comes to covering short positions.
