Can we dial back on the embarrassing pubcoinsight.com spread?

This is a low effort proxy website that B-rad has set up to showcase that "Strategic Innovation" prowess. I suppose it IS a small step up from the facebook group!

If Jenny happens to be a real person having to write every single one of these things (even though it can't take more than 45 seconds for most of them), then we really to need to put together a nice gift basket for her or something.

Uplisting to the NASDAQ at the precise moment of a reverse split is an absurd notion even for the most prepared and favored companies.

Brett's quote is the proper take. With his fabled history of these shark attacks, I'd even consider him an authoritative source on such matters.

And yet he's always sure to clarify(and somehow misdirect even further) when showing off that "stockholder's" equity further down. Not sure what he's thinking with all of this back and forth.

Regardless, I'd trust the transfer agent who updates the OTC page regularly over anything that's being submitted from this guy. A simple phone call to them would clear the air.

Yield sign was overdue IMO, and should have been applied after Q4 2021 disclosures that yet again showed their pattern of omitting the amount and nature of outstanding warrants and convertibles while the OS ballooned beyond repair throughout the year...not to even mention the delays in material legal/M&A activity.

Me and PPWJ were continually demonstrating this to be the case. Obviously investment firms and now even the lowly OTC Pinks would similarly have a distaste for this behavior.

"QB next week!" was the only response I got for trying to rally shareholder outcry, and help the company correct course.

Can't believe this place exists; can't believe the fabled and long history. Now is the closest I've ever come to paying this place for simple searching features. (Still nah, though lol)

Meanwhile, I hammered away in this manner and cause alone for nearly a decade! Any history of the legends here filling successful whistle presentations and getting rewards? I sparked a couple of investigations, but they always abruptly stopped seeking my cooperation halfway through and I imagine just decided to pocket a bribe instead.

I gave up the artform amongst the cynical and defeatist sludge buildup you all must know very well, but I see now my real research should have been in pursuit of support groups like this!

I'd always thought of this site as exclusively dangerous until finding some genuine talent a couple of years back... and there appears to be PLENTY more beneath the surface.

Just wanted to say thanks for the efforts here over the years, and you might have inspired an old dog to rejoin the fight! oo-rah!

Funny you should ask!

I suggest not spending the unhealthy amount of time I've recently spent on this Q, and how it showcases the overarching plan this group put together probably before they even decided to reverse merge into HNRC. And the likely trajectory of their future endeavors in the capital market.

But do spend some time on it.

Goree is who you should be trying to contact; Frank is just a place holder who is good at sloshing money around, his talents of unaudited pennings to satisfy the bare minimum requirements to stay on the OTC Pinks, and for his resources in the space of private equity and debt instrument investment firms.

You could probably get Frank to answer here on the first ring, but don't let on like you're an HNRC retail investor.

No replies yet from management or B-Rad regarding the termination date (and any further provisions) associated with that Apollo option, or how this kind of communication blunder is yet another shoot yourself in the foot moment during such pivotal times.

It's standard OTC culture to speak "Leo-ese" (Trademark KF) on twitter, and I've been under no delusions that each project, projection, deal, and status will ever be conveyed properly (before, during, or after) enough to satisfy some of us.

But capital market moves/instruments like this, and a couple of rather large ones in the last year... These things must be absolutely crystal clear from the start, or certainly clarified publicly after shareholder outcry. This is the bulk of what serious underwriters care about down here, and the company won't be attracting/holding nearly the amount needed as long as this continues.

I think they and we've suffered enough of this, and I'm honestly not prepared to tolerate much more. Nor the cold silence received when I try to help them easily correct course. Not with so much hanging in the balance currently.

Ironically one of the main reasons I kept buying my first lots was because they fully exhibited their horrifying set of convertible notes on a fully audited SEC disclosure. Something completely unheard of for a pink sheet company. If you can swallow that caliber of bitter Horse pill, and air it out for everyone to see when you were nearly insolvent.... then how on earth have we regressed to more of these seemingly misdirection tactics while building a world-class company seems a real aspiration/possibility? It's supposed to be the other way around!

That being said, I did buy more on Friday evening...lol...it's too predictable of a dumping timeframe to pass up at these prices. Sorry to air out my own frustrations that most others don't even care about.

I guess it's a Gemini thing.

And I'll happily come back to congratulate everyone if it actually happens. I don't like seeing even the spammiest retail speculators lose their hard-earned money. People seem to believe I'm here only as an "IHub basher" while being "chummy" with the former CEO.

Couldn't be further from the truth, as my publicly available post history contains more genuine long-winded DD and musings than I really had time to spare for the sake of the few legit community's I've found on this dangerous site. Actual observers might also even notice that I've been forced to deal with B-rad in his successive project/profession since he was boo'd off of this stage. Enjoy some my roastings of him over the last year and half, because they are far better than anything I've read here...even without having the proper history and context to draw inspiration from.

My DD traced him back to this ugly saga and I became fascinated reading through the different boards. I try to have fun and do some social studying to spice up my research efforts, and this has surely delivered!

That being said, I'm never going to publicly recommend trying to invest into an expert market stock to a board of retail investors, as I feel that is wildly irresponsible. Much worse than any stern warnings pointing out the dangers of this sort of gambling.

Yikes, still expert market? Hmm, don't believe I've seen any come off of it after being on for this long...though I admittedly don't follow dumpster fires of this caliber very often. Thanks to the preferred shareholders for making it such a fun social study!

Agreed, as I have with you since they announced this rushed division in an already rocky time period for shareholder patience.

I'm further insulted on a personal level each time it comes up now. Leo's initial PR after production mentioned the first bikes would be going to some shareholders, and I was in contact to receive one for quite some time (the one that arrived first in Miami!)....before being abruptly ignored and forgotten while they've apparently promised the neckbeards over at AlphaStatus one for free! I'm glad their efforts in click-baiting a bunch of dumb money into the daily trading activity/conversation has earned more favor than my donated efforts in trying to help both them and other investors.

I can't get over this Apollo "subscription option". And I've been trying all week. Currently pressing Alvaro daily for further details.

As you alluded this isn't a traditional options contract with a defined (at least not publicly) expiration to go along with the strike.

Fruitlessly speculating the greeks on such a play has left me baffled. Most of my early retirement fund has been made with a myriad of different options strategies. I'm a gambling man who appreciates the artform, but this seems way out of character even for kingpins like Apollo... especially in this market environment. These guys are the quintessential OTC speculators/destroyers. Even if it's just a hedge within a deep set of strategic positions (which I suspect) , even if they are just planning/continuing to short it to death... Even if they still have all of their ~2million commons from last year's deal and other big lots from the early convertible notes. Even if they've gotten into a perfect position locking up a sizable part of the float (but not wanting too much to have to file)... Even if they know they have a group of shorts right where they want them or they are the group of shorts right where they want to be (or both)... I can't believe they would agree to such a strike and initial date. Did they really approach management asking for this? Surely, because we didn't need this extra premium.

This group basically has free reign over any OTC ticker they want, and they've enjoyed this status and associated spoils for many years now. Any contract they bring should be considered some rumple stillskin type trickery from best-in-class predators who do not lose.

I hope management fully understands what they agreed to here, because the surface level over-optimism of it gives me a sour stomach instead of excitement.

Hopefully I can report back if Alvaro decides to sift through my enormous emails. And hopefully these boys really have decided to win with us in mind for a change.

Thank you. That's the one.

I'm intimately familiar, as discussed. I'm also fully burned out from the experience and should have continued to stay out of the conversation.

They will accept the applications they want to accept based, fairly loosely, on the rotating acceptable manner in which each these categories are audited and reported.

They've also basically said they can and do deny or accept companies beyond the boundaries of these "requirements". That's their right, of course....but it all seems more like guidance to me to me, and a whole lot of time wasted speculating on what they might do.

Yeah, thanks for calling and sharing your experience with the reps. I know these type of things depend upon the skillset of the person who picks up your call. I'm glad you had your needs satisfied.

I wasn't insinuating, confirming, or disconfirming anything in relation to the specific criteria IQST is aiming for or preemptively and partially meets, by the way. I consider this kind of thing mostly speculation because of how this exchange seems capable of allowing, providing exception, and even arbitrary disallowing most of the things they wrote down for no reason.

I actually think the desperate spam serves the purpose of turning off any would-be hoodwinked investors even better than the tireless efforts of the veterans here!

That...and you know... being unable to purchase the commons from a US dealer.

I never remark on NASDAQ qualifications for good reason. The literature leads you into a poorly written labrynth of differing contingencies that feed off of each other to infinity. When you call for a glaringly murky and even contradictory set to get some much needed clarification, each rep I've spoken with has followed an insulting script (assuming I haven't just spent two hours and three crack rocks trying to get a firm understanding) explaining the top line basics. When pressed hard and deep enough into the cave, the script often abruptly changes tone and turns to "lol, bruh, we do what we want."..... And then I feel foolish for not assuming that from the start....and wasting even more crack.

Which is why trying to apply book value and technical indicators in the Pinks is like Amazon trying to apply book value to something Fidelity sends out for free when you get approved for options.

This is the swamp, not Wall Street, and it would behoove all actual investors down here to familiarize themselves with the only positive indicators that actually matter: clear understanding of the many types of convertible instruments, and audited financials submitted to SEC in an effort to get off the Pinks ASAP.

So far this has been left to rot while management searches for other ways they can get rid of all of the illiquid securities (aka revenue) they've amassed.

Right.

Knowing whose palms to grease and which rings to kiss is second only to fully understanding the nature and navigation of the many debt instruments you must take on.... These unfortunately must come before any other talents and operations for OTC management teams.

With the amount of notes exhibited on our early 10Ks, without even factoring the others debts and services, I'm truly impressed we made it out with under a billion shares outstanding. This urgency, execution,and relatively safe landing was most of the convincing that I needed that our CFO is a major league player batting in the minors.

It's always passionately real in Leandro's mind well before the rest of the world. This can be a great quality in a CEO, but it certainly has pitfalls without the proper support staff.

I'll leave you to your gut about ALYI operations.

They've distanced themselves pretty far, and essentially ran away from the"partnership" with the tech they made and just created their own division.

I think they got a Torno presentation pitched to them and didn't do the proper DD. Just got excited for a reason to be working on more battery tech.

I provided them heaps of DD when they first started touting it, and I hope that it eventually helped.

Probably should keep their transfer agent on speed dial over the next few months to stay on top of it in earnest. They have a really good one.

Starting with a call tomorrow.

Good luck, boys.

Every time ALYI is mentioned the company loses credibility and pushes even the longs further away. And of course an angel loses its wings..

ALYI isn't selling anything but shares. A simple skim through their past years of disclosures and press, along with getting to know the fabled history of their CEO's conglomerate should make it abundantly clear.

He's been the only one to actually file over the years. He seems like a universally adored person and successful investor as well.

Hopefully he's still following closely.

Not sure why you represented this the way that you did, or why the Twitter crowd just instantly started popping the champagne.

First, B-rad and Micky-D aren't showing up to most of these things personally at this stage. The litigators are. Mick wasn't there either for example. If his randomly didn't show on a well established date, you can bet there was some sort of emergency/justifiable reason to do so. Lawyers aren't out here trying to lose their clients and accolades.

The judge will review the excuse and carry on with a familiar eye roll.

I'm no Listermann apologist, and often enjoy reading the decade of lore here from this insatiable community still going strong even today. He absolutely deserves most of the hate he's accumulated.

But don't be fooled into thinking this was the end of this lawsuit. There will be no end to this lawsuit.

Not too sure the one billion shares issued, often at 70-95% discounts, throughout the year was worth the alleged 200k added to the top line of their attempted balance sheet.

Perhaps the billion issued this year will provide a bit more value to the REAL company and REAL shareholders.

A recent LinkedIn post from Mark Basille himself lists SIRC amongst the active tickers, suggesting they've employed just the right expertise in trying to claw back some of their securities from fraud and/or notes so toxic that the precedent has been set that they now qualify as criminal usury.

A great sign, but they needed to field some all star securities lawyers this time last year. WAY too late realizing the gravity of their situation, which is baffling.

Here's the post

Good read if you want to learn more about the mechanics, past, present, and potential future of the company's bread and butter here. They've done well building the necessary global infrastructure and partnerships so far, and should have a hand always in this cookie jar wherever it may roam. The Challenges and Future of SMS Technology

Absolutely, and I think it's a good sign that they believe they're really on to something here. As opposed to leaving most of the subsidiary websites stuck is 2020! I'm still in contact with management about getting me one!

Still a bit salty that these other people are getting them first. I was told the one kept in Miami initially would probably be mine!

Here's BLF distancing themselves from the notion that they were contracted to try to get this ticker out of the EM.

So please cross this off of the mile long list of insufferable spam.

I had a post speaking to this already started! Also about how OTC stocks at large are being finished off after a year of being on the ropes.

Brutal couple of weeks, but I expected some folks to sell out and move on. Sentiment has begun to shift once again.

Again, as we've both requested until blue in the face, a conference call alongside the upcoming Q could curb a lot of the current issues.

I'll get a week off pretty soon, so I'll be back after a long silence!

It's between 10m and 15m shares left on the offering. Sorry I couldn't dig around and narrow it down more, my daughter doesn't enjoy endless reading and calculating as much as Dad!

Yep. Some will sell out and leave, too. They always do. Hopefully volume starts to pick back up in preparation for the quarterly report.

All of the NASDAQ requirement options seem out of reach in the short term without a string of great executions of a SOLID plan. I trust they do have a plan, and I hope that it's solid enough...

I STILL really just want some damned SmartTank numbers/updates.

~5.5 million shares at 0.50 through what's left of the Reg-A.

The fat quarterly bonuses handed out in the first half of 2021 is what caused JB to sell out; I hated very much to see him go, but completely understood. I have tried to demand a full write-up of the qualifications surrounding those bonuses, or at the very least a detailed breakdown about exactly who is getting what.

IoT labs has always been the main workhorse and has continued to balloon.

Really didn't want to see the EV startup costs drag the Q4 down so much, as I am also not too keen on this endeavor at large. Time will tell if this was a bold misstep or worth all the bullet-biting in an otherwise great yearly trajectory.

Glad to officially see them beat the 2021 estimates handily, but REALLY hate to see Leandro still out here parading this stuff around like he has. Get the man some ADHD meds because he genuinely seems unable to help himself.

"I think you'll find a few extra days was worth the wait." Not for real.

How did I miss this post?! Great job putting this together!

I remember when you sold out and called it a dead stock after we got smoked on that ~36 million Reg-A offering. I gritted my teeth and held somehow but knew you were right. I ranted and raved before just deciding to ride out the year and see where the fundamentals headed.

I too often wonder just how many more trading sessions will be defined by the glaring 40-50k bid dumps that happen like clockwork no matter the price.

I believe your estimates are about the best we can hope to publish here with the little information we have. Hopefully, the estimates are off because the trading provisions were more laxed... I want to believe we're finally nearing the end of this constant selling pressure. If not, then a hell of a lot more buying pressure will be required as you discussed.

I'm not sure why the OTC Markets website hasn't updated the float count in so long, but I'm finally going to get to work harassing them about it!

I'm also not sure why the Global Money One site is still stuck in 2020. Lol, it's boarderline false advertisement at this point since they've effectively launched a different themed product. Plenty of mentioning of the "Visa MoneyOne" coming in Q2 2021...but not a word or a link to be found about the actual product just launched! I feel like I'm being trolled hard.

Some common share buying from the I, the Q, or the S would be lovely, but I'd settle for a damned conference call accompanying the release of such pivotal financial statements. Can't get the respect/money of the institutions if you're afraid to field their questions!

At least they've finally started fielding mine; hopefully I've been good enough practice!

All 10-Ks have been released under extensions. i see we are continuing this streak....

Stop locking Alvaro in a closet for two weeks and hoping he can get it done. Get the man some help!

Just a little more. This is general book/journal cleaning by particularly busy brokers at the end of day, and framing that as a single entity liquidating large positions (of which there would have to be a buyer of large positions) is pure speculation.

There is nothing to acquire.

I'm wondering if these are Jesus's shares he received after we acquired the remaining 49% of the SMS business. They were restricted for 6 months, so the timeline matches up well. He was given "100,000$" worth. Soooo 400K probably a reasonable estimate?

Seems to be a reasonable leak out of them regardless of source.

Good eye, as always.

$IQST$$

Better now that you're here! <3

Dude was trying to put in work on his youtube channel and research efforts, but you just cut him off. He still got your click, though!

All about the work, though. Which is why I still disappear for weeks at a time. The checks are fat for people in my profession during the last couple of years....if the stress and workload doesn't ruin you..

Not sure if I'm ruined or not yet, as I've lost all perspective on the matter!
