Once again, you are a more reasonable poster than I Jay, lol. Thank you for sharing your insights. And I really hope you have been right about paying off the notes. Your math adds up and it makes sense.
I just don’t understand running this to trips rather than dipping into capital investment funds. Far more shareholder friendly and would help to build trust. But I understand, it is how companies work in the OTC. And at this point, with so little disclosed, this ticker is easily manipulated. The PPS is out of their control. It’s risky for anyone buying this now, whether involved with the company, retail investor, or flipper. I just hate thinking we’re being fleeced again. With all of the silence from Chad, it leaves a mind to wander.
FYI, a fellow poster who appreciates grammar? I love it. Your posts are worth reading.
Right? We all want to ride on a unicorn lol.
I guess I’m just being a pessimist. But I have put some thought into a potential merger with DeepPower as it has been discussed here often. Can’t find any dirt on Chad, but this Van Noy character definitely has some past red flags.
I live in Southern California. There’s a lot of buzz around geothermal and lithium in the Salton Sea area. The Imperial Valley Geothermal Project is ongoing. The Governor visited the site recently. But I can’t find anything about DeepPower being involved.
Don’t get me wrong, I hope nothing but the best. I’m just skeptical, especially after the jewelry store debacle.
I read stuff like this about Van Noy and it makes me a little concerned:
“When Parscale’s CloudCommerce deal was originally announced last August, the price of CloudCommerce’s shares surged.
“Big week for the parent company of my commercial business,” Parscale tweeted, noting that its stock was up 500 percent. CloudCommerce is a penny stock, meaning its shares do not trade on a major stock exchange and can be bought for just pennies a share. Such stock often is thinly traded and prone to fluctuate due to speculation.
“I’ve got Fortune 500 companies calling,” CloudCommerce chief executive Andrew Van Noy said in an interview before the AP raised questions about the company’s history. Van Noy said the company hopes to do more work for the Trump Organization, though “any conversation with the family happens at the Brad level. I work with him daily.”
CloudCommerce’s financial filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission give varying descriptions of Van Noy’s business career before he joined the company in the spring of 2011. They said he ran a “boutique real estate private equity firm” through the end of 2008 and oversaw more than $300 million of transactions during a roughly six-month stint at Morgan Stanley at the beginning of 2010.
But in a bankruptcy filing Van Noy made in Utah in August 2010, Van Noy said he was unemployed — and had earned less than $9,000 in each of the last three years. Along with six-figure debts from unpaid credit cards and repossessed cars, he also faced two real-estate fraud lawsuits. A judge ruled against him in one case and Van Noy agreed to settle the other for the full amount of funds he was accused of misspending.
After the AP asked Van Noy to reconcile the conflicting filings, he hung up and then emailed a request for written questions, which he did not answer. He did not respond to subsequent phone calls and emails.”
I think we need to be careful what we wish for here at SFLM. Especially considering the recent track record. I know nothing for certain, and this is purely my own speculation, but I see a fluffy geothermal P&D set up being formed if Van Noy’s DeepPower merges with SFLM. Don’t get me wrong, it could be a good thing, if traded correctly. But it would be nice to see something more sustainable here. I hope I’m wrong, but had to share my sentiments on all this DeepPower talk.
I found this note from the meeting with Mayor Trace Johannesen, of Rockwall Texas interesting:
“One thing to note is that Rockwell does not govern any of the providers who operate under the power grid in Texas, so Mayor Johannesen has no control over the decisions about energy sources. His priorities are, therefore, more focused on other factors that affect living in his community.
"I was appreciative of my discussion with Mayor Johannesen during the podcast," said Andrew Van Noy, CEO of DeepPower. "It was educational to understand that while some mayors can influence energy choices, not all have that ability. His willingness to still want to learn and consider energy options was welcomed."
Now Mayor Johannesen, a former Marine, sounds like an excellent individual. And I am glad that he had this discussion with Van Noy. But it sounds to me like it was just a nice warm fuzzy feeling for Van Noy. That wouldn’t do anything for shareholder value if we were merged.
And quite honestly, speaking with a mayor on a podcast, is not all that hard to arrange these days.
.005-.008?
The bar has been lowered. Oh well, at least this is more realistic than the much prognosticated pennyland. The higher end of your range would get me out even on my initial shares at least. But that’s not exactly what I was looking for in a multi-year holding.
And I still am not certain being involved with DeepPower, and Andrew Van Noy, is a good thing. I can’t find anything online that gives me confidence in him or DeepPower being an actual legitimate player in the geothermal field. Seems like lots of fluff to me.
Technically, geothermal is a hot item right now, with lots of potential. But OTC scam stocks are known for taking advantage of “hot topics”. Yes, pun intended ;)
Still waiting for Chad, the one controlling OUR company, still named after a loser eBay jewelry company, to let us know what the future holds.
This company has been on a downward spiral for years.
I hope you know something. I sure as heck don’t. The silence is killing us. It’s been more than a year and no actual plan has been disclosed by Chad MacKay. Hopefully it’s a doozy🤞
Wouldn’t it be nice to know? Conjecture sucks and leaves investors considering the criticisms that come up. Maybe this company is toast? Sure seems like it with all the silence and dilution. I’m sticking around but have little to no confidence in the future here.
There has been so much past dilution of shareholder value, and now looks like the same song and dance with Chad. Is communication that difficult for these CEO’s? What is happening and what is the plan? With all of the Safe Harbor protection he can’t come up with something, ANYTHING, to tell us now in 2024?!?
But to be fair, all these stinky pinky stocks seem to run this way. I was really hoping this was going to break the mold. So much for this management team having capital backing. They either deem this too risky to invest their money in or would rather take the capital out of retail investor’s pockets.
Yes, I confirmed that a couple of weeks ago. We were slaughtered here at GBHPF.
And now my portfolio finally shows it. Looks like I can trade it again, but my shares are worthless☹️ and who in the right mind would want to buy this anymore?
They’ve proven that they can’t be trusted, and all of their loan interest rates have increased exponentially. Toxic debt spiral. I think I calculated that this needs to get to 8 dollars a share for me to break even lol. That’s not gonna happen.
I truly believe in hemp and its future, but investing in Global Hemp Group was a mistake. Oh well lots of financial scams down here in the sewer, can’t trust any of these CEO’s!
But what I don’t understand is… Why run PPS into the ground, upset current shareholders, and risk future confidence by diluting to cover start up costs & clean up Ladin’s mess, with their new ticker if they operate a multi-million dollar capital investment firm?
I’m really on a roller coaster with this one. The ups and downs are not necessary IMO. So why is Chad doing this🤷🏻♂️
Well put Jay! And with less bias and disdain then I am currently capable of lol.
I agree, and therefore, am not bailing out. I’ve waited WAY too long for this company to perform anyway. I think there’s a chance Chad does have a plan and he’s executing as he sees best for the company he is running. 🤞
But my God man, at least a little communication from him with at least a small peak behind the curtain…? C’mon Chad!
Oh, and a shout out to those who were warning of major convertible debt here…Looks like they were right😒
.0003 vs .0004 what’s the difference?
If this is supposedly running to pennies, one tick is negligible and means nothing. Getting shares of this stock is NO problem, so how is anyone “trying” to get shares.
Still near the bottom of the OTC sewers, I don’t care who’s buying the shares. IMO it looks stupid defending these shenanigans. There’s no excuse for what’s happened to SFLM over the past few years.
When is management going to wake up?
Trip 3’s? IMO we’re toast here. The new management has had plenty of time to show us otherwise.
If there is another run left with this management team, it’s probably just another head fake like the last one. After doing deeper research on his partner Van Noy, I’ve become pretty skeptical.
I was laughing so hard when people were posting videos of him, talking about his Deep Power company and them being some kind of player in geothermal. And the robot video, what a joke. Amateur sh!t, befitting of the management team running OUR company😒
I agree there are posters here with an undisclosed agenda. This ticker is susceptible to being played no doubt.
But let’s be honest, no one has to be scared into selling for shares to be available. There’s millions of them being sold, and they’re getting cheaper every day.
My fear is this stock is going to be worthless in the near future because the company is being run into the ground. And that is where I really question who has known what all along.
New year, same old shenanigans.
At this point, after more than 1 full year of ownership, I’d say the new management team is no more competent than the last, and just as likely to decimate retail investors IMO. For the record, I was skeptical of the last management team, and was right all along.
To me, it doesn’t look like Chad and his crew are the ones to lead us to success either. It’s been more than 1 year folks and NADA to show for it. Sorry if my opinion upsets anyone, or goes against their agenda.
And doing further research into his business partner, Andrew Van Noy, makes me a little sick to my stomach that I didn’t dig deeper prior to doubling down on “cheapies”. Doesn’t look like the guy is very adept at making money the legitimate way. His prior business endeavors seem shady at best to me. And he has been in trouble for fraud. These are not my sentiments, they are facts that can be confirmed through legitimate sources, not robot videos😒
What has MacKay done with more than 1 year of controlling this company? He’s run it further into the ground IMO. I’m not a basher, I’m a disgruntled shareholder. End of story.
I agree with you, when these bashers show up in force, there’s a reversal. Hopefully you’re right👍
But you have to admit since the ticker change to SFLM it has been a slow and steady decline. The newest change of possession of that 1 almighty share hasn’t improved things yet. Hopefully a ticker symbol change and definitive disclosure on the new plan for the company will change that quickly. Anyone not holding would be chasing.
Hopefully 2024 brings the .01-.02 talked about so much on this board.
I appreciate your posts and the fact you remain optimistic in a sensible manner. And it seems that you have more than a 3rd grade education. Thank you.
And thanks for accepting my sentiments. Hopefully optimism rings true here in 2024 and the company progresses out of these doldrums. Right now things are not good. PPS is at levels I didn’t think would happen😣 But that COULD change quickly.
I will personally guarantee you NO ONE missed anything here. This is all planned and being manipulated I’m sure of it. By whom, how, and what their endgame is? That’s the big question.
What’s unfortunate, management is doing nothing. And if one wants to argue they are… how the heck is anyone supposed to know about it. Silence by the company is the #1 reason I suspect SFLM is being manipulated on purpose.
Maybe one day the company wakes up and something positive comes of it. That’s what I’ve bet on. But I’m extremely pessimistic at this point.
I agree, the buys at 5 far outweigh the trades at 45 today. I guess that is positive💁🏻♂️
Let’s see if it falls back much lower over the remainder of the year.
I got a few more 5s recently. Hopefully these are early Christmas gifts, even though it feels a little bit more like the Grinch stole Christmas around here.
A solid and SUSTAINED run is overdue🙏 Time for Chad to wake her up and get some legs. But I just can’t help doubting myself on buying this ticker. PTSD from the past.
I may be pessimistic, but I’m holding strong, and even adding a few shares of what are being called “cheapies”. Time will tell.
With the amount of time SFLM has been in this tail spin, IMO, it shows the new management group is either 1-incompetent or 2-incapable.
If it’s Incompetence: They may never figure out how to run a publicly owned company and flounder along similar to the past 1-year plus. The lack of communication, a clear cut path to success, and a look behind the curtain, indicates to me this may be the case. Even those with the best of intentions can fail in business due to incompetence.
If it’s Incapability: They may have acquired a ship that was sinking such that they are not able to save it. It might be that there are complications hindering the company’s success. We all know the two letters involved that usually right the ship for these stinky pinkies. An RS at this point would dilute any longtime shareholders such that it’s not even worth holding on any longer IMO. And I don’t want to hear all of the BS about an RS is not needed here. They are rarely needed and never advertised. They come out of nowhere and decimate shareholders. There is no guarantee it won’t happen here and that is a fact!
I try to be positive boys, I swear I do, but this doesn’t look good to me. I didn’t buy a single additional share when Joe Ladin took the company over because I didn’t like the constant pumping of sales figures without any proof of profits. Turns out my instinct was spot on. I’m just a plumbing contractor, the “top traders” that were here pumping SFLM and Joe Ladin’s sales should be ashamed of themselves. But, of course, they aren’t. And they were irrefutably DEAD WRONG!
I did double down when Chad MacKay took this over thinking things could turn around. I like the speculations and potential tie to geo-thermal. Plus there were bargain prices compared to my initial SKDI buy-in. I hope that instinct pans out, but so far there is little showing it will. And researching geothermal does not indicate to me that Deep Power is a legitimate player in the field.
Admittedly I traded a little during the recent pump, but certainly didn’t get anywhere close to even. Just added some “free” shares. Now that we are down here in the low trips again, I will probably pick up some more to add to my holding, but I hope I’m not throwing more money down the toilet with SFLM.
BTW, IMHO, had they merely changed the ticker symbol and provided a little glimpse into the plan, none of us shareholders would be in this situation. It was possible for them to do it this way, but they chose not to. Time will tell if it was a secret genius business move or a nail in the coffin.
Happy Holidays SFLM shareholders, this year was rough, here’s to better luck for us in the New Year!
I agree. Seems odd $4.50 trade for 10,000 shares. As for the fifth digit, I’m not too sure what the rules are.
A few months ago, I bought .00045 shares of SFLM through E*TRADE. I ordered 5’s, more than 10,000 lol, but they gave me the half-point. I have no idea why or how. But I’m not complaining;)
When’s the name/ticker symbol gonna change?
If you Google, SFLMaven, it still looks like a jewelry company. We will never be legitimized under this ticker symbol and name as an equity firm. It doesn’t take this long to change. Maven did it almost instantly, why can’t this management team?
And if you look at the X page it states:
“We bring value, experience, and acquisitions that add value to our company and shareholders”.
This statement needs to be updated as well.
There has been zero value added to this company in over a year by the current management. They have shown little to no experience in operating a public entity, let alone an equity firm. There has also been no value added to the company, nor shareholders. In over 1 year!
I understand there is a timeline for transforming a business, but this management team has not shown any competence in my opinion. It’s been over a year and they have accomplished very little. And there is NO DOUBT that they have shown to care very little about shareholders and the value for having invested in SFLMaven. There has been sufficient time if they really cared at all about shareholders.
There IS new news… they don’t care about us at all. I wonder if they are even trying to move the PPS up at all. They literally don’t care.
Whoa TMI.
I don’t need to know all that. Quite frankly, I don’t care.
The OTC is shady as it gets so you have to have a strategy and be willing to live or die by it. When it comes to WSRC, I have a strategy, and it’s worked in the past. Thanks for the heads up, though, it does look a little bit different this time.
They’ve gone quiet before…
Then it wakes up.
I will buy sub penny.
Joe Ladin didn’t loose money, I guarantee it!
It has yet to be definitively disclosed whether or not their HoloGlow NFT technology remains with SFLM shareholders or SFLMaven of Florida. Shareholders were diluted to pay for that tech you can bet.
And was there any inventory, paid for by shareholders, that broke off when SFLMaven of Florida exited? Are they selling it for a profit now?
These are just a few examples of how I think the past management fleeced the shareholders of this company. I’m sure there are even more complex ways it was happening that I don’t understand.
And you can say that was past management from over a year ago till you’re blue in the face. They still have yet to clarify my above concerns.
You have to really see between the lines to understand how these OTC company managers work. I don’t know Chad from a hole in the wall. How am I supposed to trust that he is what he is portrayed to be on iHub and Google? So far, it’s been the same old shenanigans, and there has been plenty of time to establish a different attitude.
Sub penny WSRC?
Yes please🤑
Cheap shares of SFLM have been available for years now! Who hasn't had the opportunity to buy as many as they want?
Why would anyone "want" to make the shares cheaper and how, pray tell, do you think they could achieve that by posting their opinions on IHub? Your ALL CAPS posts haven't worked😒
I'm sick of all the BS when it comes to SFLM. It's been nothing but a lie for years now. All the banter on this board just perpetuates the masquerade.
It's time for this ticker to wake up and do its thing or just admit that it is just a scheme to enrich management without the shareholders seeing it. Just like Uncle Joey did it.
All these shares being unloaded at trip 6 🤦🏻♂️
This might just be toast. Perhaps Chad is just another sewer dwelling OTC company manger. Why take the wheel if you can’t drive?
I’ll take all the $hit from you cheerleaders, I have a right to my opinion as a long time shareholder. This has been a let down for years now. People hype it up, boast of .02 coming, but it’s been dreary as a shareholder, that’s a fact!
Maybe some flippers are making beer money, but the big bucks don’t ever seem to materialize with SFLM. Time for a ticker symbol change and a whole new attitude.
According to iHub, this thing is trading, but I cannot buy or sell shares. I think I understand what’s happening with the company, but this is the first time I’ve experienced it myself. I hate RS’s, and I’ve never seen one benefit shareholders.
All I do know for certain is this is the second lengthy amount of time this year I am not able to trade this ticker. And I just noticed that OTC Markets has GBHPF listed as a shell risk. So much for my optimism with the stellar new management group and relationship with Apollon. If you visit the GBHPF website, it seems like these guys really have their act together. Something smells skunky here, and I don’t think it’s the good stuff😎
Only if Chad and Andy’s plan is to run these companies up to pennies to make their money🤷🏻♂️
There are other ways OTC management can get rich without taking shareholders on the ride, just ask Uncle Joey😒
Anybody “wishing” they had shares here would be the idiot. You can scoop them up by the millions in the trips right now. Shares are as easy to come by as ever. I’m holding mine waiting for .02😉
And no, you wouldn’t. You have no idea.
I already got some. I don’t need your amateur advice.
I need Chad to disclose enough information to make the needle push up into pennies. Supposedly that’s gonna happen here.
But then again, the jewelry company was supposed to do the same, and we all know how that went🤦🏻♂️
I’m a newbie?
Thanks, shows how long you’ve been onboard😜
I wish I was a newbie here, I’d take my loss and move on. Nope, long time bag holder.
Nothing but millions being dumped today.
So much for everybody “buying” cheapies.
When do the shares for sale run out? Seems endless. Does not look like financial responsibility and debt restructuring to me SMH. Hopefully when this is over the PPS can recover.
Someone is doing something shady here… again.
“You are falling for and feeding into reaper247's lies and cheap scare tactics.
You should know better. You have been here a while and should question anything that basher says from all of his well established and confirmed lies from the past.”
I doubt anyone is falling for their BS. if so, it’s a shame. But someone is obviously able to play games with the PPS here based on the last few months of trading.
Now, if someone has been here a WHILE, they should be questioning .01-.02. A couple of years ago, when SFLM took over SKDI, that prediction started. It has been posted over 1000 times on this board. It has been a long time, and it has never even been a third of the way there as SFLM. Not to mention, the PPS plummeted since that last acquisition.
Positive posters on this board were touting that the SFLM acquisition would be an incredible investment opportunity and “top traders” were getting in. Turns out it was a giant lie, shareHOLDERS were fleeced. That’s the truth about what happened with SFLM!
So what’s the difference now? We know we can trust McKay? What… just like we could trust Uncle Joey? I am not taking a loss here, but reserve the right to remain skeptical. Robot videos don’t mean sh!? to me.
I don’t care who’s pumping, bashing, or lying… back to .0006😒 That says it all.
If I had only foreseen this I could have 5x my # of shares. I guess this is how “top traders” make money with the ticker. Sell on the pump, convince people to keep buying while they do so, and then wait for the eventual drop back to trips to buy back in.
I feel so stupid and abused. Like usual with SFLM. Right at this moment, this company is a clown show🤡 I sincerely hope they can get their act together.
“As we all know, the current company $SFLM and officers are all new wef November 15, 2022.”
IMHO, we all don’t know much, if anything, for certain.
Amateur robot or Deep Power videos don’t tell me anything about what’s actually happening behind the scenes with SFLM currently. There are a litany of reasons I can think of why it never seems to run, like predicted, to .02-.25.
I’m less skeptical of McKay than I was of ol’ Joey, but that doesn’t mean he is the straight shooter we all hope he becomes. Certainly isn’t in a hurry to help shareholders here😒
I thought pink current was going to be a catalyst for a run up? Guess not🤷🏻♂️
It’s not me selling, I’ve been holding for years. But I can tell you one thing, when I research geothermal, I don’t see much about Deep Power. Other than their amateur videos and articles like GlobeNewswire. Nothing to get me excited. Not to mention, they have been dragging their feet here for quite some time, which is concerning to me. Something isn’t adding up.
After the SFL Maven of Florida debacle, which was touted here on iHub as an amazing investment opportunity, I’m super skeptical. I have to keep reminding myself they are an OTC company for a reason. If and when Deep Power starts making national news headlines, and is confirmed as a reverse merger into this company, that’s when I will believe .02 is on the horizon. Otherwise, I see this as a long hold to get even on my initial SKDI shares.
JMHO on a Friday after a pink current PPS free fall.
As I said, I post what I want. I don’t care if you don’t like it. If I want to leave I will. If not, I’ll stay and post. You can’t bully me boy.
So far, I haven’t seen anything of substance regarding the DD being done here. Speculation is just that. And videos posted on the Internet at a grade school level do not justify or verify anything in the real world. That’s like insinuating SFL Maven of Florida sold 10 million a year so shareholders would prosper. Didn’t happen.
At +.02, if it ever gets there, I’ll concede I was wrong. But I just don’t see it happening. Dive deep into research on geothermal and show me where Deep Power is one of the major players in the industry. The story is not checking out for me.
I wish everyone the best here but I’m pessimistic this runs into pennyland. It’s about hype, just like all OTC plays. It’s funny, after years of trading in the OTC, I still didn’t quite understand things like I do now after watching the TV show Sneaky Pete. Everyone has their role in OTC plays. Just like a good con job.
And for the record, I still haven’t sold my shares.
