rhymes with.....
Is that humor on the board? Bad, you have my all
time favorite post on a stock board. Oddly
enough, it was an XLPI post explaining WHY
you would not be attending the shareholders meeting
years ago..........2006

reasons why i won't be attending?
1. because i want to be one of the people bill says stop complaining in a CC because he invited us but no one came.
2. i've already got my groceries and i have no need to go to one in saluda.
3. its might turn into a religous revival.
4. might be a set up for a stock scandel sting.
5. may be asked to help bottle, answer phones, telemarket while we are there.
6. there is now way i would be able to keep my mouth shut there. ( obvious one )
7. profit is right, pay all that money for a half of a cent stock.
8. there might be a two drink minimum to get in. And without strippers it ain't worth it.
9. i might be asked to pose with a product for the website.
10. might ask me to deliver back products to the midwest for delivery for them.
11. i might be aiding in the dilution of stock by showing up, one more person, means more pop and chips and one less bible to hand out
12. might be asked to donate to the restricted share fund for brad for his departure.
13. might be test people for the e200 products, remember what happened to that cat, now you know why im not going.
14. the guy coming back from australia with the e200 results might end up getting my seat on the plane instead finally.
15. my laptop doesn't have wireless capabilities and bill might want to check out the ihub board in the middle of the presentation at the meeting.

let's see what's our worst case scenareo....
In my opinion on the worst case scenario... XPGH would spin
off another little pink sister co, and would inherit the
reputation of XLPI. People would get excited over the
new and improved company again, another cat or two would
die in an experiment from our products, we'd forget about XPGH
which would become sub-penny even after a reverse split and
the cycle would begin again labeled as a fresh start!
..........and then my head would probably explode.
That of course is my idea of the worst case. I'm sure
my head exploding caused a grin or two from some of
the darlings on this board who have given me
some headaches, lol.
Yes, Cheap and thank you for the company history. Sorry if you
and others missed my point however which is relatively simple.
That is, the press on Global touts the stock success of a new
chairperson. The security mentioned is illiquid now and down
the drain. It wasn't helpful and didn't represent the points
they should have illustrated. It seemed rather pump-like
to throw the word Nasdaq, which is where buyers are drawn to.
I can only assume that is why Global mentioned the company
as listed on Nasdaq, and not it's ticker.
Bottom line is price per share. Period. It's a part of my
earlier explanations that some people look at the company, and
some look at the stock.....I'm clearly the latter.
Did not mean to confuse anyone here,

Thanks no3putts1! Not sure if it will be a regular stop, but it's always fun to come and hang out once in a while :)
........ohhhhhh, similar to vegas, lololol
Parrish's MOVIE GALLERY INC is a pinkie now. The point in my post tonight is
that the company players think it's ok to mislead people, even if slightly.
They mentioned how well MOVI did at one time
with a NASDAQ listing, but ignore it's current demotion to pinks.
The fleecing should stop, if for nothing else-
respect for what is mostly a group of very long term
shareholders. XPGH has a terrible reputation, and with it's
restructuring has an opportunity to build credibility. However,
when slights are addressed because of the crutch of a
safe-harbor, the company not only insults the shareholders, but
insults professionalism.
IMHO.
Parrish: With regard to this excerpt from the May 05, 2009 pr:
"He guided Movie Gallery through dynamic growth to become the second largest video retailer in the U.S., with sales of $2 billion and listing on the NASDAQ."
It should be known that MOVI wasn't as successful as this pr would like you to believe.......
If he would like to tout the credit, than should he not accept playing a role in it's faults as well?
Here's the old MOVI board here at ihub. You may enjoy it's last post. Bankruptcy will do that to a company you know....
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/board.aspx?board_id=6187
Weekly Recap - Week ending 29-May-09The major averages finished higher on this holiday-shortened week -- S&P 500 +3.6%, Dow +2.7%, Nasdaq Comp +4.9%, Russell 2000 +5.0%. It was an extremely light week in terms of news flow and volume, with the biggest volatility due to gyrations in the bond market on Wednesday and Thursday.
Given the lack of news in the early going on Tuesday, investors looked to a much better-than-expected May Consumer Confidence reading of 54.9 (consensus 42.6) for guidance. It gave them more anecdotal evidence that economic conditions may be improving, and led to a 2.6% advance in the S&P.
The market looked to hold those gains on Wednesday, and did through morning and midday trade. But around 13:30ET bond yields began surging higher, which led to an aggressive sell-off in the stock market. The S&P ended down 1.9%.
The surge in yields occurred approximately 30 minutes after a successful 5-year notes offering. Though the auction itself was solid, mortgage origination sellers moved to hedge their positions and pressured the long-end of the yield curve. That sent the benchmark 10-year note more than one point lower, which pushed its yield above 3.70% to a fresh 2009 high. The higher borrowing costs associated with higher yields undermine the government's efforts to keep rates down in order to help along an economic recovery.
Treasury auctions remained on investors' minds on Thursday. After seeking direction in morning trade, the stock market managed to regain some of the prior day's declines after a successful 7-year notes offering that contained no surprises. The S&P ended 1.5% higher on the day.
There was some mixed economic data that morning worth mentioning.

2 years later..........;)
Wow, yes it's been a long time, hasn't it? Sadly the pps hasn't moved much......
It's a soap opera in that respect. You can miss a couple of years and still follow the same story and same characters.
Fully agree with your last statement. It's like somebody with a bankruptcy trying to get credit after only a couple years. Can't happen.
It was only in - what- 2006 when Bill Smith had that huge securities violation? Selling stock illegally or something?
I can't remember all the details, but know he had a TON of money to pay back. Do we know if he ever did? Is Willy still on the run from all that???
I'm sure somebody here can fill me in if they're bored.
curious....
Its a shareholders right to know the share structure. i'll agree with you that calling every day doestn' serve a purpose.
It's no different than your right to call your bank every day and know your balance.
NEVER question management for pink sheets. Never, never, never.
If you can't simply trust them, you should not "invest".
...........sigh........fine advice tonight.
I was schooled. lol
Yeah, well I hear when bloggers call the t/a they have a right to get really annoyed and gag themselves...lmao
and everyone else lies and tells half truths- i can't prove it though cuz I'm too lazy to do it myself- bye now- back to raging bull where they don't pick on me
"Let Sleeping Dogs Lie". Is LSDL a public company? That's a pinky right? LMAO When's the pump?
Did you forget what you wanted to say? LOL
Nice swing, Mike.
Whoa Mike- did you stay? Nice chart.
Been reading old pinkie boards. I'm exhausted from flashback and
my feet hurt from my soap box.
Then I switched to catch up on that SEC board. Witch hunt.
They're all detectives.
Came back here to chill.
I have no proof that the TA is gagged.
Enough said. Have a great night.
Paid you for your opinion? You can't even pay a stockbroker for his opinion on a pinksheet! They're not licensed for pinks advisory- which I'm sure you knew.
I hope you always double check these half-truths!
So...... what did the t/a tell you? Bet you think that's fabricated too, right?
What's YOUR opinion on why the T/A is gagged. Not gonna pay anyone for their opinion, that's why I'm exchanging mine for yours on ihub. :)
Great points Bad. Cheap Investor,
there is a difference between looking at the stock and looking at the company.
You, among others, are looking at the company and see it's potential. Yes- that's a way
to put money into something you think could provide a nice
return....someday.
With that hope sometimes it's best to tuck those certs in a
shoebox and plan on holding for a few years. ...in my opinion
Traders look at the stock. Large "investors" rarely go
near a pink sheet stock. It's the traders who'd make this share
price move. Without momentum on the L2 every day, the price
will remain stagnet until attention can be gained on the charts.
So, while it's important to consider all factors- the remaining
idea is that a company ONLY goes public to raise money. Period.
This shell held a 9 cent position about a year ago. It's down
now. Do you think the company isn't making money from being
public? Of course they are.
Hard to tell what can be happening when structures aren't
released to it's shareholders. The shareholders are the people
who own a part of the company, aren't they? When pubco's abuse
the tactic of having a t/a they are shutting you out completely.
A company who treats it's owners like such aren't usually a
company that anyone would want to give more money to. It's the
quickest way to lose fact and start rumors....and spread the
sentiment from it's front doors to the chat boards.
all in sincerity,
it's time you demand answers to WHY they are hiding the numbers
from it's owners.
"You're in the business of selling shares and yet the public is not allowed to know the share structure?"
Posted by: Modern_Rock - May 23, 2009 9:59:14 PM
A gagged T/A is almost always a red flag.
............just my two cents.
What are they hiding?
Here's the list of board members for the other one, as if the two roads do not have a fork in it, lol.....

Bill was also a poster here and on other boards.
That would absolutely be a personal attack.
However, due diligence on officers of the company
that seems to be heading downhill seems to me appropriate.
Just observing.....oh and Bill was certainly a liar.
You were right to call him that, lol.
In my honest opinion, as always.....
Bridget
"and followed the law" - so I really don't understand why you keep bringing him up.
You say he followed the law. How dare he! lol
Next?
Pretty demanding request from a poster who joined 24 hours ago MikeLeaff.
Evo's last posts were very clever, imho. I never would have thought to spell out Vegas over the course of several boards.
Took some creativity for sure. Thanks for that link.
Got a giggle from me.
Bad, you make several excellent points as always.
Thanks, I was around for most of 2008 but not as much in 2009.
I would have searched this board to see if it was already asked, but didn't know I could, lol.
-bridge
Question: Board Search function seems to only allow years 2008 and before. I cannot search 2009 with keywords? There are sooooo many posts this year that I missed and am on limited time to find the two or three that might be interesting enough for me to search for. Thanks.
It was a great weekend, Liz. My neighbors were headed your way for the weekned. Told them to say "hey lizzy" when they entered the state, lol.
Looking for a weekend myself this summer to see the lake from the other side. Perhaps in August sometime.
It's always so beautiful there.
LOL
I'm watching, Liz. Watching, watching, watching.........
RICK - gotta love the sinners!
Oh wow, now that was a surprise indeed. :)
Hey Andy. What on earth brings you back here?
Thanks :) Great sin stock and defensive play.
Loose lips sink ships. Why are there so many rumors floating around? That's bad business in my opinion. Make it tight. No leaks.
What would be a wise move would to include a dollar amount
expected profit that could appear on their books in the next
filing to gain credibility to a company that has very little. imho
...is it that many gallons over the course of 10 years?
......20 years? a month?
......when will the gallons be delivered?
