"Tithing Pal" is "Free" of any process or transfer fees.
Phil, maybe "Tithing Pal" would be more appropriate. Probably some tax advantages too. lol.
Ofcourse - thanks again!!
Great work Phil! What did Des say about the Altus store. When I talked to the shopping center manager in altus last week she told me Altus was near completion. Is that so?
My appreciation

thesource, the weather map for Texas looks really good today. So, if Phil does get stood up bad weather can't be an excuse like it could have been yesterday.
Good,,, They were even predicting many small volitile cells along with tornadoes and such.. Have a safe trip..
Phil,
First, I hope you realize I was in no way knocking you. I was merely pointing out to another board member why he thought all the funding was available to open 5 stores.
And, for some reason I thought you were going to Dallas today. Today there was a severe weather warning for a big part of Texas. So, all day long I was wondering how you trip was going or even if you were able to take the trip at all..
iamnewtothis.
Even phil thought the funds where there. Here is his answer to a question I posted last november regarding funding for warehousing, product, and distribution.

The funds are already there to complete opening of five stores
Responsibly is the key word. I see your point. With no entity to govern/control them it would be way too easy to become irresposible. It's human nature. And, this is pinkland. They need have no concern for us.
Adamp, I Agree on all points.
We all knew dilution has been going on. It's acceptable to a point. But disipline needs to be exercised by management so they don't over do it. Once I open a cookie jar it's hard for me to keep my hands out.
Also, we all knew in our hearts, once we heard the TA wouldn't give out info, the A/S was probably on the rise. And, we all hoped it wasn't being tapped into much yet.
My guess is that a good part of what we heard on the conference call was managements intention. I bet they felt the PPS would be a lot higher so they would have to dilute so many shares to raise the needed cash in order to fund there store openings. They probably figured that news about the successful CC, and the name change, and Des retiring shares, and so all would have a greater effect on the PPS than all the news they put out did. In some cases news had no effect at all.
This is not my usual game. As a rule I stay away from Pinks. But, I did get involved briefly with ECFL this time last year and did really well. This time I got caught with my pants down.
How ever we individually play this pos, we are all in it together.
I believe market99 is legit. I also believe management over estimated how shareholders would react to PRs and have been forced to dilute more shares than planned at a lower pps than planned. I get the feeling Jason doesnt like feeling like he has egg on his face and won't give up anything 'til things are back on track.
The weather in much of Texas is expected to be pretty bad today. Let's all hope Phil has a safe trip! In a post today he said "God willing". I think he meant that in atleast two ways - one the weather. If we find he was unable complete his trip let's not get too frustrated. What ever is going to happen will happen whether Phil gets to Dallas or not.

God Speed Phil and thanks for all your efforts on behalf of all of us!!
Cha-Ching.. Yes, when I talked to Terry's a few weeks ago nothing at all was going on that week in the Market99 store but someone had been in there measuring the week prior to that. And, I was never able to get ahold of Becky 'til today. So, I was delighted to hear that all is progressing the way it is.. Also, she was the one who brought up Jason's name and the fact that she was just about to call him.
By the way, I like your name! It's kind of asian. LOL

New DD..
First, I gotta get this off my chest.
On many boards there's lots of whinning and frustration and speculation about this and that. It baffels me that many people would invest in something without doing their own DD. It's a pretty easy task to find things out to help you make better decisions. So, with that said I have some very good news and some questionable news - all the info below was gathered in about 15 -20 minutes during my lunch...
First, I called the manager of the shopping center in Altus (Becky. She assured me that the Altus store is well under way and near completion. She expects it to open soon. She told me she was just about to call Jason. I asked her to give him my best regards and tell him to "keep up the good work."
Second, I talked to Willie, the manager of Terry's in Mesquite, TX. He's a good old boy!! Market 99 is next door to Terry's and is well under way. He guesses it will open within 20 days by the looks of things..
Third, take this for what it's worth - maybe something maybe not. I called the 22nd floor receptionist at 30 south wacker drive in Chicago. The 22nd floor houses about 100 businesses and share a common receptionist, office machines and the like. The receptionist has been there 2 years and has never heard of XiConsulting. That doesnt mean the guy doesnt work for someone else on the 22nd floor and builds web sites in between working his regular job and posting. Also, if you do a reverse search of his 847 phone number you'll find it's a cell phone. So, again this doesnt mean this web page guy isnt legit - it simple mean he doesnt have an office under his company name on that floor in that building..

I still have time for a hotdog!! lol
Pats 24 - NY 14.... Pats score 10 in fourth quarter.
Likwit... Patriots by 10.. Even score at the end of 3 quarters.
MNTY to .002 by wednesday. @ .0016 my 8.4M will be all even..
What the heck was the 3M share spike at .013 today?
Corduroy - right on!
Crymeariver.. This is alittle off topic but it goes along with the topic you are discussing.
Do the generation/generations who don't provide or expect the same customer care and service we expect, provide, and are accustom to, appreciate it when good customer service is provided to them? Or, do they not recognize it or simply blow it off?
I get the feeling that in the case of MNTY the management's attitude my be "this project will succeed. And, when it does all who hang in there, and those who join in at the brink of success, will be reap their just reward. Until then, don't sweat the small stuff - I got more important things to do!"
You're welcome.

I called the manager of the Terry's SuperMarket in Mesquite today. He told me that indeed Market99 is going in right next to him. People have been there regularly measuring and such right along but no one has been there this week.
In Altus I have a call into the manager of Zales tomorrow. I spoke to the asst. manager today who told me there are spaces being worked on in that shopping center but she has no idea if one is Market99. If the manager doesnt know either I will get the # of the management group of the shopping center and give them a call.
Be patient.
GLTA
It seems to me I read somewhere here that someone on this board has seen, or knows someone who has seen, actual work being done on at least one of the stores slated to open soon. Is that true? Has someone here seen work being done?
And, off topic. How do I shut off the freakin' annoying ad that expands into each post as I try to read them? thanks!
I added 2.2M a short time ago.. some at .0008 and some at .0009. That brought my APS down to a nice place..
GLTA!!
Good Morning All
I've returned last night from 3 weeks in China. The last time I left the country, oct 2006, ecfl tanked from a busted merger.. I am never leaving the country again. LOL.
I have not had time to catch up on all the posts or news. And have a billion things to do here on the home and office front.
Can someone get me up to speeed in a nut shell please/what's the talk on the street?
LOL.. I think Ben Franklin said that..Ben also said "a penny saved gathers not moss." Or was it "a penny saved is worth two in the bush."
Nice work redsox2445!
I agree.. "Got Green"
Yes, good morning from the US, we are on our way. I took some NyQuil a little while ago and it's getting the best of me. Good night.
GLTUA!
LOL,,,, your absolutely read my mind. You seem good with comp graphics.. see if you can put all 3 together. If Des doesnt by the idea we'll still have it to look at now and then incase we have a down day and need a little cheering up.
How about spokes people - or persons. Or, maybe 3. How about Des's Angels. Then all we'd need a brunette to complete the set..
I think we should make the cart gal our spokesperson. so what if she's not famous. lol
Thanks Limo2005! you've saved me a call!
TD is up to the minute. 18M shares - correct?
TD Ameritrade. I was able to purchase shares under "MNTY" and pull up a chart for MNTY.
I can not pull up a chart for ECFL or buy/sell ecfl. Nor, have my edfl holdings transferred to MNTY yet.
Yes, thanks Phil for daily and intra-day updates!
SHOW ME THE MONEY!!! CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW??? LOL...
Yesterday afternoon a flag was put to 1/2 mass at the building next to ours. I wondered who had passed away. Now I know.
Now there's a guy who had the beans it takes to play the pinks with courage and patience.
I agree. Bickering won't get us anywhere. IMO a good board is made of members who work together toward a common cause. In this cause to do DD, read the charts, use our brains, use our guts, etc.. Everyone has some talent they can share with the rest. Then we use all that to discuss how the heck we are going to make some dollars here.
My read you clairmontasap is you've had some knowledge of IBC for some time now. You occassionally fish the bottom. And, now that a member of this board has detected some life in this fish you're giving it a close look. Am I close? it doesnt matter to me, I'm just curious. I certainly don't think you a harm to us in any way.
dbowren. So, we'd each need to buy about 590,000 to get an additional 200,000,000. About $1500 each @ the current pps range.
I planned on buying 300k today but my $s didn't transfer until 10 minutes after the market closed today. LOL. Tomorrow with have to do.
That will bring my total to 3,1000,000 to date. My plan past tomorrow is to play this differently than I usually do. I plan on regaining my initial investment at some point down the road (nearer rarther than farther) and letting the rest ride long.
I'll let you know tomorrow when I've added the addtional 300k. Good work.
GLTA
clairmontasap. Funny you should say that. Just today I asked someone if the had ever seen double while drinking, they said NO. I replied "I guess you didn't Drink Enough." LOL.
I never thought about from your point of view! You're right!
dbowren , good going! I am waiting for a $ transfer this AM to take place so I can add 300k today. When that happens I'll post you with my latest figure.
