(IMHO) Years from now some investors will be looking at a Nasdaq price and fondly remembering when BKMP could be had for had for just two bits.
Ask
0.2501
The rest will just be shaking their heads asking why...why...why did I sell for peanuts???

GOD BLESS MR WINNICK AND BKMP!!!
I once asked Mr Winnick if he was going to take anyone to the 'cleaners' after this was over and he just laughed and said he 'can't be bothered'.

ROFLMAO...Did you just say...Mr Winndick??

Ask him about his dissertation if you want a REAL laugh.
Actually it was on 'cooperative learning'. It was an oral presentation so lemme tell you 'I was flying high' at the time if you 'catch my drift'.
But I digress.

Mr WiNNick warned me about saying too much on a stock message board.
Something about 'a lot is at stake' and 'better to watch and learn'.
I remember one X-mas when he gave me 'Ka-BOOM' as a gift. I was 13 at the time and the box said for ages 6 and up. I still like to joke about it.

Another Laughable uneducated elmira post!
lol...is that even legal to say I'm 'uneducated'. Maybe it's a gross violation of the TOS. Gotta obey the TOS.
I do have two bachelor's degrees and a masters. I'm also lifelong investor and registered investment advisor though. (FACT)
There is over 81 billion BKMP shares outstanding and 14 billion in the float. that a loan says there is plenty of shares if someone was so foolish enough to want to own shares in the old dead scam that Is BKMP.
OMG...that means there's around 75% of the authorized shares in company hands!!!
IMHO...expect something of a reverse merger to make the stock more 'manageable'
Did anybody see the revenue numbers on that last big fight??
Little wonder there's very few shares to go around for the general public!

There was no appreciable naked shorting of bkmp at any time in its entire history.
lol... seriously??
Uh... if that came with a link would that most likely be fraudulent too?

a MEANINGLESS ask.
Dear Mr con...
Pardon my french but WTF??????
Do you think the SEC or FBI would be interested in a market maker(s) flashing a meaningless quote on a publically traded stock?? Repeatedly???
LOL...this reminds me of one time when I called the NY division of the SEC and poured my heart out only to be told...'if you believe anything you read on a message board you must be crazy'.
I was never so embarrassed in my life.

Dear Mr con...
I generally find I have a lot better time at family gatherings when I call him 'sir' but I'll convey your 'well wishes' to him...cough cough...and his lil' 'cohort'.
Maybe if you could be so kind before you leave for the night...do you have any idea about the ask of late?

Oh, oh, oh! Buy mine first!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dear Mr 'pockets'...
SURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Get them 'certed' and have your 'broker' call my broker and maybe they can discuss terms over 'lunch'.
When I call him the secretary in his brokerage usually tells me he's at 'lunch'. He eats a lot.
I just hope he sends me a decent sized commission check one fine day for all my 'tips'.
Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Put in an oder to buy @ .0001 and you can have ALL of mine!!!!!
Dear Mr con...
(IMHO) Shouldn't you keep a little powder dry in case you wanna buy back in with your 50 cents or something?
LOL...but seriously...I really haven't made too many electronic orders in the OTC market in my life. I generally prefer to put that live scary voice (think my full service broker)to work finding me the shares I'm looking for. Same with selling. That's what he's/she's there for...mmmm hmmm....to get you the best price.
Can you even enter a number like .0001?? I spose if you really were trying to unload ALL your shares at a buck or two 'somebody' would be snapping them up in record order. Maybe you should just give them to charity and see how they do with them.
Can we guess who that 'somebody' would be... first in line btw?
Good luck with your trading.

(FACT) And as another day's market action comes to a conclusion we find the ASK IS BACK AT FIVE CENTS!!!
Ask
0.05
(IMHO) Will tonight find any of the 'natterin' nabobs of discontent' venturing forth with any rationale that constitutes a 'legitimate' discussion of the constant issue at hand. I sometimes call them 'etereal identities of disingenous patter' designed to slow you down from engaging a live human voice (think your full service broker who's job it is to find you shares...at the BEST PRICE). It certainly would be a more accurate description.
Will the BKMP board become the most watched forum in the world.
Stay tuned....to the same 'bat' channel tomorrow.

(The Earthbound OTC SPIRIT MUSE CURRENTLY RESIDING IN 'elmira')
It seems to me that when you find a sure thing such as you claim BKMP to be, you would hock your jock strap to add to your hoard. Why would you not ? And you ALREADY have a real live broker to whom you can speak. I think maybe your premise is a bit convoluted eh orifice ?
That's an interesting idea! While I'm sure all my loin cloth will one day be worth a considerable amount it really wouldn't allow me to double my shares at whatever is today's price. lol...did you just say 'orifice'.
A. It's a bid auction electronic marketplace in which the dealor(market maker) can't own their own inventory of shares. Thus I can't buy that which doesn't exist. Besides... if it did exist (as one day I expect it to) I'd only be preventing my own fellow investor from enjoying their rewards. As much as I want to take those shares off the market and keep them in 'strong hands' I'd be slowing down the process of 'the evil necked shorters' from tidying up their mess and 'moving on...lol....hopefully sooner than later).
B. I'd probably be dumb enough to pay big bucks for the Babe's loin cloth but it would need to be in mint condition...if you catch my drift. I remember I once had a chance to buy 'Gehrig's and Ruth's autograph 'signature cut' on an old 1920's menu but passed on the 10k asking price. Needless to say...big mistake.
jmo
your pal,

(The Padded Shoulder Oracle of 'elmira')
In which case his ill fitting false teeth might be an asset.
(IMHO) lol...that doesn't seem like a very nice thing to say.
(IMHO) Technically being able to take my teeth out would seem to be an asset in 'the big house with 'Bubba'. Although I know of no crime being committed(sp?) for having a wonderful relations.
Meanwhile many have asked me what it takes to buy shares of BKMP.
(IMHO)While I'm reasonably sure you'd need the talents of a full service broker to pull it off... at least you'd be vying for whatever shares the 'evil necked shorters also need'. I have no idea of what price you'd have to pay. I'm also pretty sure it wouldn't be any .000001 price. Like I said that's just an arbitrary figure being used to prevent a market from being made while negotiations continue with the SEC/FBI.
Some have said they're afraid of talking to a live voice and also afraid they'd be ridiculed for their choices.
lol...all I can say is my own broker rarely says 'diddly' to me. He does keep me on his x-mas mailer though. And he does answer the phone promptly and I'm pretty sure he even thanks me for doing business with him.

I didn't even know a third grader could invest in BKMP.
Do you figure it has to be titled in the parents or legal guardians name at least??
your 'pal'

('elmira's Ferret Face Oracle)
IMHO...You sir are correct.
NOBODY is buying right now because 'they'(think the SEC) don't want anybody to buy right now. Thus the ask price is first at .25 and now at .05. Nobody could even post those kind of prices in the electronic OTC quotations for buying/or selling.
IMHO there's something of a moritorium at play while the 'evil necked shorters are tidying up their 'mess'. I assume it's a laborious task. Lotta details still being negotiated
It will all be explained one day and quickly swept under the rug. Penny players don't really have much of an attention span or legal clout. Besides...they'll be too excited at the new paradigm unfolding to even care what just happened here.
But hey...what the heck do I know??

I have nothing to do with mod selections. Nor will I be asked my opinion.
I know you have nothing to do with mod selections. I just wondered if you could put in a good word for me with I-hub's Admin to be your assistant.
I promise not to look at any of the posts that are deleted here (and there seems to be a lot).
I wasn't really asking for your opinion on the five cent ask. I just wondered if you could confirm its accuracy since you're closer to that end of the market than I am.
your freind,
Pete (scorpio70)
Dear Kitt (btw feel free to call me Pete if you want to)...
We can seriously confirm that none of us in Administration gives a rats pattutee about your existence.
I thought you were just a 'moderator' of the BKMP board and not an administrator. Could you help get me back on another board where I'm banned currently? Hopefully you might give a 'rats pattutee' and wanna get me outta your hair here.
Anyway while I have you here do you think I could be your 'assistant' moderator? I promise to be on the lookout for profanity and whatever negative spam comes up. If I delete anything I'll get your permission first. I certainly don't wanna rock the boat or create any waves.
Also do you know why the ask dropped from .25 to .05?
Happy trading...

I see another 'shorter' capitulated his position/naked short today. Thus no price movement... as somebody didn't actually buy those shares
Meanwhile the highly misleading and outright fabrication in the 'Toronto Star' is reprinted from years ago... replete with the misspelling of Mr Winnick's' name. I assume they wouldn't appreciate any libelous charges. Thus the incorrect spelling.
I have no idea what somebody actually paid/sold those shares for today.
lol...and neither will any poster to follow. I assume there will be a reverse split or two along the way. Hey...but what do I know?

I'm just quoting what I can see in the I-BOX and clicking on a few of those links they have in there.

Ut ohhh...have you been listening to 'somebody's' posts of denial...deflection...and obsfuscation(sp. lol I can't be bothered looking it up)?
lol...Come a lil' closer into ((((scorp's web of terror))))
Gotta remember BKMP is a Canadian corporation that can't file an SEC compliant financial audit/filing for a certain period of time because after all...their interests are GLOBAL.
I spose when that happens they'll naturally begin the biggest short squeeze in the history of the markets.
I always thought unc...errr...Mr Winnick was the sharpest tool in the 'family shed'.

IMHO...I sorta knew what I was first excited about with this stock but now after doing some incredibly simple due diligence (available to everyone I spose) I'm really impressed.

Anybody ever notice how silent the 'paid crew' has become lately.
Especially as it applies to something of a long weekend break from Saturday through Monday of late.

scorp's
Dear scorpio POS...
That's because we're either...
A Laying low deliberately.
B We're human and need a break once in a while.
C Our target audience doesn't usually make any buying/selling decisions during this time so why bother?
D Did we mention how badly we'd like to see you and any other knucklehead shareholder sell ASAP!
with utter disgust and borderline contempt,
'shorty'
lol....well let's just say that for the dollar a share party it would be pretty doubtful to see many in attendance.
Most 'penny players' will be gone within the first or second price gap. I'll be headed for my timeshare when the time comes to keep my finger off the sell button and maybe see if I can unload what still stands as the dopiest investment I ever made.
My feeling is they've been properly whipped into a potential selling frenzy for the ages. Besides...at a buck I'd be worth 78 million dollars and I doubt that's what was ever intended in the design of this stock.
I'm sure years of disappointment...ridicule...and silence... will have taken its toll.
That being said....my scorpio senses are 'tingling' these days.
IMHO...I think a lot of surprises are headed our way.
jmo
scorp's
Does anybody have any ideas on where we're gonna hold the shareholder victory party?

GOOOO BKMP!!!
ROFLMAO
Ohhh be still my beating heart.
Betcha between sobs he's singing like a canary
And guess what?
mmm hmmm....the 800 pound gorilla remains in the room heading into the weekend.
You can count on the 'nattering nabobs of discontent' to have their usual posts of denial...ridicule...and obfuscation.

Volume: 791,666 @ 9:32:12 AM ET
IMHO....'shorty' continues to capitulate as market makers flash the 'infamous' 666 signal.
Loose translation....we need shares and get ready to batten down the hatches.

(The Elmira Oracle)
I would try speaking with a live voice there at Scottrade and see what their advice would be.
yes...they do have trained representatives who will speak at length with you when requested.
Would you happen to know what this means...
Blackout Media Corp. (PN CE) (BKMP
What does the (PN CE) mean? TIA
When you get that live voice ask for me please...
like I said... I'm embarrased by my dentures. They don't fit well.
your freind,
scorp's
Good for you!
But like I said... I don't believe an electronic order entered at .0001 is even possible.
I don't even think a live full service broker would even entertain the idea.
Maybe since the ASK is sometimes at.2501 you ask your full service broker to find you a buyer at any old price. Seeing as you can't get a fill at what would be theoretically IMPOSSIBLE.
I'm sure he'd get rid of your shares.
Gook luck and let me know how it works out for you.
I care. ROFLMAO...well...sorta.
jmo
scorpio70
(The Great And Powerful Oracle Of 'elmira' Has Spoken)
but it is a little odd that I know some who have standing orders in to sell at .0001 and the Scottrade Ask keeps staying at .0001.
A. Thank you for your prompt reply.
B. I don't know how ANYONE can have a standing order in to sell when...
1. It's an electronic marketplace where orders can only be placed in increments of .001. Are youb refering to your own full service broker (someone with a voice). 99.9% of the time OTC investors use a computer to do any buys or sells (a real voice may ask questions and urge you to buy some product that is more lucrative).
2. Pretending for a second that someone could enter .0001 on their electronic order (which they can't) why would anyone place a 'standing order'. ie...events and circumstance can change in an intant. For example let's prtend such a thing was even possible and let's also pretend 'someone' hit the ask at .25...can you imagine how foolish anyone would feel watching their sell order get passed on by. Heck...the price might back down to a few cents before anyone gets a 'fill'.
3. IMHO My relation suggested you were something of a hybrid. Neither necessarily something good or bad but rather a necessary cog in the wheel of what it takes to make a market. He then asked you (if you were pure of heart) to pick up the phone and call your FULL SERVICE BROKER and get some meaninful answers to the questions being asked. I'd do it myself but I'm without teeth and too lazy to put my dentures in (I hate being on the phone and sorta slurring my words).
4. I have no one I know who even has a standing order in place to sell anything. But then I rarely get outta the house much these days.
