I find it almost hysterical that peeps are willing to play with a 30 to 60 billion share cobra that wants to unload into them!
THIS WILL NOT MAKE ANY REAL GAINS UNTIL THE DILUTION STOPS...THEN IT'S PENNY FLIPPING TICKS UNTIL THE R/S. JMO
I could easily be mistaken, but I have a feeling a big flipper bought some 2's and maybe some 3's and then pushed the PPS through the remaining 3's to 4 to create a rally and then DUMPED for a very nice profit!
and may even be a Reg A seller wanting to sell for higher and dip hard into the bid support that was building so he/she didn't take it below .0002......
BMAK is the one selling for the Reg A sellers! EOS
That 5 minute rally was a bait and dip!! Told ya! DILUTION!!!
So who is it that's bid whacking already?
If the share prices is stuck now...just wait until they try to start dumping the remainder of the 30 billion!!
LOL....EXACTLY!
Because there are bid orders at .0002 that were placed ahead of you. If the sellers start their heavy bid whacking again...you just might get your fill.
I don't think they will be quiet for long seeing that I'm SURE they want to sell as many of the Reg A-1 shares as they can!
IF and WHEN Andy or Robert Coffy can show that they have a valid MJ license to operate the previously existing MJ operation that they "bought" thru Bearpotinc...then I will change my tune.....
As of now
1. They have NOT provided proof of a MJ license.
2. The Baja, Mexico property is non-operational unless Andy pulls a rabbit out of his hat and says he sold the property or is continuing development...which I would suspect is false!
3. The talk of a MJ show is BS until they provide factual information that they are in production.
Andy loves his PR's, so why not inform us of these details without clever wording IF they are true???
UGH...
60 billion shares sold at between .0001 and .001 on the open market equals roughly $60 million...IF they run it back up to a penny as SO many are wanting, then it would be $600 million, which would be valuing the company at almost a billion!
Please read my post a little slower so you can comprehend.
Strategic Global Investments Announces Successful Capital Raise of Over $1,000,000 Early First Quarter of 2014
CARLSBAD, CA--(Marketwired - Mar 3, 2014) - Strategic Global Investments, Inc. (OTC Pink: STBV) is pleased to announce that the Financial Statements of the Company will reflect that it has raised over $1,000,000 in the initial two months of 2014 by means of the Reg 1-A Offering that was Qualified by the SEC on January 17, 2014. The Company also expects to raise up to an additional $1,000,000 over the next 6 months.
ASK YOURSELF WHY THE A/S IS 100,000,000,000!!!!!!
HERE'S YOUR BAJA, MEXICO INFO--- https://www.otciq.com/otciq/ajax/showFinancialReportById.pdf?id=76381
However, by early in 2011, the Company concluded that the real estate market for
vacation homes in Mexico did not justify further investment in resort homes at that time.
Consequently, the Company ceased all marketing activities relating to this business activity
and has significantly slowed down the construction of its only model home unit. If and when
that unit is completed, the Company will be obligated to pay the contractor for its cost of
construction plus 15%, which amount is currently estimated to total approximately $520,000
to $575,000.
There is currently no market for vacation homes in Mexico in the area where the
Company has land and at its price point. If and when that changes, the Company may sell the
land it owns or it may attempt to develop it. If it does the latter, there are other developers in
the area which will be developing competing properties and which will have significantly
greater financial resources than the Company.
STBV FITS THE BELOW READING PERFECTLY!!
DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND READ THIS INFO.... https://www.otciq.com/otciq/ajax/showFinancialReportById.pdf?id=76381

Stock Dilution Scam:
A share dilution scam happens when a company, typically traded in unregulated markets such as the OTC Bulletin Board and the Pink Sheets, repeatedly issues a massive amount of shares into the market, considerably devaluing share prices until they become almost worthless, causing huge losses to shareholders. Then, after share prices are at or near the minimum price a stock can trade and the share float has increased to an unsustainable level, those fraudulent companies tend to reverse split and continue repeating the same scheme.
Pump and Dump Schemes: "Pump and dump" schemes, also known as "hype and dump manipulation," involve the touting of a company's stock (typically microcap companies) through false and misleading statements to the marketplace. After pumping the stock, fraudsters make huge profits by selling their cheap stock into the market. Pump and dump schemes often occur on the Internet where it is common to see messages posted that urge readers to buy a stock quickly or to sell before the price goes down, or a telemarketer will call using the same sort of pitch. Often the promoters will claim to have "inside" information about an impending development or to use an "infallible" combination of economic and stock market data to pick stocks. In reality, they may be company insiders or paid promoters who stand to gain by selling their shares after the stock price is "pumped" up by the buying frenzy they create. Once these fraudsters "dump" their shares and stop hyping the stock, the price typically falls, and investors lose their money.
http://www.sec.gov/answers/pumpdump.htm
The key is understanding The key is understanding that pink sheet stocks are not investments - 99% of them will lose value over the long run and never accomplish most of their forward looking pumping statements they put in press releases or on their websites. Never believe the hype - always be skeptical of everything you hear. The people mostly making money with pink sheet stocks are promoters, front loading pumpers with big followings they can dump on, crooks, some of the flippers, and sometimes the very lucky. Pumpers only tell you to buy stocks that they already own. Pumpers only tell you to hold stocks because they want to make sure you hold longer than them. They make money by pumping the stock and getting other people to buy then dumping their shares on the followers. If you really want to take the risk of trying to make money trading pink sheet companies then you have to understand how the game works and never ever hold long term - take profits when you can.
Pump and Dumps dominate the IHUB forums. Trading pink sheet stocks is a sick game full of lies and deceit where people take advantage of the inexperienced and naive stealing away their life savings for their own personal gains.
Question....Since STBV owns Wazillo, which just happens to be a media company, then WHY doesn't Andy use his OWN platform for communication to his shareholders as opposed to a trumped up Twitter account and paying 25K a day to pump his stock!??
11 Signs That You Are A Victim Of A
Pump & Dump
1. INCREASED VOLUME AND A TEMPORARY UPSIDE
A quietly trading stock has a sudden increase in trading volume following a promotion, which continues even after the increase in share price has been eradicated and the stock falls into negative territory. This is a sign that the insiders had offers at the asking price all the way up and once profit taking started, the insiders continued to sell, this time by hitting the bids..
2. INCREASED VOLUME AND STRAIGHT DOWN
A quietly trading stock has a sudden increase in trading volume following a promotion, but in this case the price went straight down. How could this be if there were no sellers when the stock was quiet? This is a sign that the insiders are dumping, providing stock to bidders no matter what the price. Insiders are probably competing with each other to get rid of stock.
3. INCREASED VOLUME BUT STOCK MOVING SIDEWAYS
A quietly trading stock suddenly shows trading volume but the share price is stuck in a tight range. This is a sign that the insiders are not whacking bids but have plenty of stock for sale at the offer. This is the smartest tactic when dumping stock because in this way, unsuspicious investors like the fact that there seems to be support for the stock and yet it hasn't run away giving them the perception that they are not too late to join the party. Always and inevitably, the share price will fall out of bed once the bids stop coming in and the insiders have no choice but to lower their offer. At that point, other investors will also attempt to cut their losses and join the selling.
4. THE TOUT STOPS TOUTING
Touts who have been pounding the table for days or weeks, sending email after email suddenly go quiet. This is an indication that they are no longer being paid to tout the stock and have moved on.
5. EVEN WORSE, THE TOUT DISASSOCIATES HIMSELF
Touts rely on the insiders to sell in an orderly fashion rather than just dump all of their stock in one load. A stock whose price drops from the word go in spite of the increase in volume looks bad on the tout, who has to be able to show at least a brief increase in share price in order to maintain the confidence of the subscribers he relies on to participate his next pump. If the insiders sell in a rush, no investors make money and the scheme becomes more obvious. In this situation, the tout will often issue an apologetic email to his subscribers feigning ignorance and retracting his recommendation, albeit too late.
6. THE BIG DEAL FALLS THROUGH
Pumps and dumps are often executed in conjunction with the concocted announcement of pending merger, acquisition or contract that is in the purportedly in some due diligence stage. The insiders and touts will use this period to continually pump the benefits of the coming transaction, giving a chance for the insiders to divest themselves of their holdings until the inevitable announcement of the failure to consummate the merger, acquisition or contract.
7. THE COMPANY GOES QUIET
Following a period of sudden and frequent press releases disseminated in conjunction with a slew of touts promoting the company, news from the company is hard to come by.
8. NOBODY HOME
During the promotion of the company, there is a facade of transparency and investors are encouraged to contact the company and even talk to or email the CEO/President. Suddenly, nobody returns phone calls or answers emails. This usually happens at the same time as the company goes quiet.
9. ISSUED AND OUTSTANDING INCREASES DRAMATICALLY
If a double digit percentage increase in the number of issued and outstanding shares occurs following a promotion, chances are that the insiders have issued themselves stock to replace the shares they sold into the pump and dump campaign.
10. GOING IN REVERSE
Shortly after a campaign of press release and stock promotions, the company will announce a reverse split of its stock. In spite of whatever reasoning is proffered , the real reason to reverse split the stock is eliminate the new shareholders and set up for the next pump and dump campaign.
11. THE SEC COMES A CALLING
A temporary or permanent trading halt is ordered by the SEC because of a concern of a lack of accurate or verifiable filings. This is often the result of a heavy and prolonged stock promotion executed in conjunction with grandiose claims and heavy trading volume. These conditions will sometimes, but not always, trigger the interest of the SEC.
I expect Andy to come out with lots of fluff this week in order to perform damage control!
Probably another shareholder letter.
Something about the website that should have EASILY been completed at this point.
Some Twitter activity.
And probably some share structure change BS.
Here's something else I just found on NEXAFOTO...doesn't mean that NEXAFOTO are "bad" people, but it does show the type of people they are and have worked with.....

And as I have already expressed....You cannot buy/own/sell or be involved in any type of marijuana business in Colorado without a MARIJUANA LICENSE!!
Strategic’s plan is to have the Memorandum of Understanding signed by mid-February and the final agreement signed by the beginning of March, 2014; with construction to modernize the operation beginning in February and the first new crop started in the first week of March.
With those 40 billion shares comes $3,000,000 cash, no debt,Reality TV Show, farm, and 10 acres of commercial/condo property in Baja, Mexico.
Andy already sold ALL of the 30 billion shares @.00001...yes, that's 4 ZEROS! Look at the screenshot at the bottom of this post from the SEC doc.
The "Reality TV Show" is a joke as well...Andy PR'ed that he is THINKING about PRODUCING a show with NEXAFOTO...which JUST incorporated with Texas a couple months ago....

If you look at Andys Facebook page you will see that he is "friends" with Mr. Franklin. https://www.facebook.com/andrew.fellner.73/friends
Here's a clip of their work... http://vimeo.com/85844121 LOL!!
AND, for the 10 acres in Baja, Mexico... NOTHING is happening with it! Just look at the Google Earth screenshot from 2013/2014 below.
Here's a nifty little link for you to see how far it will go... http://www.strategicglobalinvestments.net/images/SGI%20Slides_6-1-2010.pdf
AND last but certainly not least... why does it show in this link that Robert Coffy will get 1 MILLION shares if Bearpot dissolves?? Ask yourself why 1 mill when the PPS is at .0002! It's likely because this will R/S to a dollar and then Robert can dump into it with no real selling competition because if anyone did sell, it would be for a loss just the same as selling down here for a loss!

PR excerpts--
"Now that we own a MJ cultivation facility
The subsidiary was created to take the equipment and plant inventory that was part of the initial purchase
The idea of "Contact Andy" is a joke!
He has clearly stated that he was approved by the SEC to sell/dump 30 BILLION shares @ .00001 into his common stock of STBV!!
IF one looks at the SEC/EDGAR filings (https://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?company=strategic+global+investments&owner=exclude&action=getcompany), you will see that Andy has done basically nothing over the past 2 years but sell Reg A shares, and have them dumped into his STBV common stock!!
LOOK HERE--- https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/vprr/13/9999999997-13-000857
Thats a total of 1.3 million in cash for 2012
LOOK HERE--- https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/vprr/13/9999999997-13-012221
That's a total of 1.7 million in cash for 2013
LOOK HERE--- https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/vprr/14/9999999997-14-000139
That's a total of 3 million for this year 2014...and I have my suspicions about him receiving only 3 million when the Reg A buyers have made around 300 MILLION or more by selling the "reported" total of 25 billion to-date.
Now, EVEN IF/WHEN the dumping ends, what do you think is going to happen to the share price with 30 billion shares being in the hands of flippers and most likely NO PR's coming out from Andy!? Just look at the PR history and you can see that his PR's are timed exactly with his Reg A shares being sold that are on record!!!
And for his past "strategic" venture of Punta Perfecta--- Below are pictures and a video. If you pause the video at 2:27 you will see the PRE-EXISTING home in the back ground from the Google Earth screenshots. There are NO new developments on the site seeing that the Google Earth images are from 2013!

THE END
I honestly believe Andy planned this entire situation from months and months ago....
He doesn't give a rip about this stock and it was clearly used by him as his ATM...
This one is over....even IF what Andy stated in his PR's was true....their is just NO way to move this POS through BILLIONS of shares being flipped and dumped!
Oh, and this talk of a R/S is totally bogus..it won't change a thing except it might be the fastest stock to be R/S and then hit .0001 AGAIN!
As I stated NUMEROUS times....
1. Where are the MJ licenses IF they were going to begin planting in the first week of March per Andys statement in the Feb 10th PR??
2. Where are the registered filings required by Florida and California for his Reg A sales??
3. Where is this great website and media campaign as the BearDUMP continues on the stock.
4. Andy is basically a White Collar criminal that found a way to steal millions!!! JMO
RIP STBV
I WONDER HOW THE CONSTRUCTION TO UPDATE THE MJ FARM IS GOING FROM ANDY'S PR ON FEB 10TH.....FALSE AND MISLEADING
OR
How the planting of MJ is going based on the Feb 10th PR by Andy....FALSE AND MISLEADING
OR
Where the paper work for the required Reg A filings with Florida and California are.....
OR
Where the website Andy spoke of in his recent PR is......
OR
Where the filing with the State of Colorado for the purchase of the MJ farm in Teller County is....
OR
Where the MJ license for Bearpot is....
OR
Where the paperwork for the signed MOU or closed acquisition paperwork that STBV purchased an existing MJ facility....
I can almost guarantee this guy sold all the way down on the Bid and the Ask, and will now sell on the bid and ask as he tries to move it up based on GREED!!
YO...Andy, maybe YOU should COMPLETE something from your recent PR's before you start spouting off about other acquisitions...FOOL!!
">
" /> DOES THIS LOOK LIKE A PICTURE OF AN HONEST MAN?????
I SEE THE HUGE VLUME OF TRADING DUE TO...
1. MM's probably trying to cover their NS position from selling shares they didn't have during the massive volume trades over the past few weeks. They do it ALL the time, but they KNOW they will have to cover those shares eventually, especially with huge buying pressure by retail that they KNOW they can sell into AGAIN and AGAIN!
2.Heavy bid whacking all the way down to .0004 by the .0001 Reg A share owners.
AND
3. Uninformed retail buyers wanting to get in on the MJ action in the trips for flipping.
Who is good at finding out info on people???? Research who Chuck Bastyr is.
For the T/A guys.....(I use T/A heavily, but NOT when you have another 15 to 20 BILLION unregistered/free trading .0001 shares waiting to be unloaded into the market!!!
Also....here's an interesting fact I found......
">
" />
Most of the people on this board that have been here prior to last week know I am HIGHLY suspect of STBV/Andy, and for valid reasons that have been discovered over the past couple weeks.
With that said.... and after a great deal of DD and thinking the past few days I have formulated an idea of what I think is going to happen going forward. Sure, I could keep this to myself, but then again, WHY?
1. I'm almost 100% sure that Andy was surprised by the volume that has happened over the past 15 trading days.... "As far as the market goes we are doing great and I couldn't be happier with the volume in the stock." Andy Fellner 02/28/2014
2. We know that Andy registered the Reg A filing to sell 30 billion shares @ .00001, and to date it appears that around 12 to 15 billion have been dumped...just look at the chart and do your own calculations.
3. I'm fairly confident that if Andy wasn't able to sell all of the 30 billion prior to February 10th, that he has most likely been able to sell the remainder after showing potential investors the volume of interest to date.
4. I don't think Andy could have sold the remainder of Reg A shares to "investors" without expressing the potential of running the stock back up from the current .0005 PPS.
5. Yes, there are a TON of shares on the market already, and I think we can be fairly confident that there are going to be another 17 to 15 billion more to dump, BUT, I also have a feeling that Andy may have the ability to persuade the Reg A buyers to let the PPS go back up....that would benefit everyone involved in my mind.
6. I do believe that there are alot more PR's that are going to be coming out from Andy/STBV because he basically has to pump the stock at this point....how high will the PPS climb?...I have NO idea because it's already a fat pig with even more to be dumped going forward.
7. Is Bearpotinc real?? I'm highly suspect, but then again, stranger things have happened. I'm almost 100% positive that Andy has heard or read the current shareholders concerns over the past couple weeks, and will "play" into those concerns in order to help himself!!
8. I have no doubt that the website, Facebook and other internet exposure tools will be coming out shortly.... "We believe that the website renovations we intend to incorporate will be a key component to a significant increase in traffic, ultimately yielding in greater exposure and investor interest," stated Andy Fellner, President and CEO of Strategic Global Investments. He continues: "The Facebook page and website are set for launch soon."
9. At this point, I see STBV as selling one thing and one thing only... 30 billion Reg A shares with the "potential" of a real profit generating business by the 3rd or 4th Qtr. of 2014.
10. I own 600,000 share purchased at an average of .0015.
And for this being a scam....I have my own thoughts and the SEC has theirs!
As for NSS by MM's that "may" have sold shares in STBV that they didn't have....I think it may have happened since the MM's want to make money off the enormous volume transactions that have occurred in STBV over the past few weeks, BUT I also believe they could have easily covered seeing that the PPS is at .0005 in relation to the profits they have already made off this....That may explain the increasingly large buys we've seen come through down here.
BUT one never REALLY knows...
Regulatory enforcement actions
In 2005, the SEC notified Refco of intent to file an enforcement action against the securities unit of Refco for securities trading violations concerning the shorting of Sedona stock. The SEC sought information related to two former Refco brokers who handled the account of a client, Amro International, which shorted Sedona's stock.[70] No charges had been filed by 2007.
In December 2006, the SEC sued Gryphon Partners, a hedge fund, for insider trading and naked short-selling involving PIPEs in the unregistered stock of 35 companies. PIPEs are "private investments in public equities," used by companies to raise cash. The naked shorting took place in Canada, where it was legal at the time. Gryphon denied the charges.[71]
In March 2007, Goldman Sachs was fined $2 million by the SEC for allowing customers to illegally sell shares short prior to secondary public offerings. Naked short-selling was allegedly used by the Goldman clients. The SEC charged Goldman with failing to ensure those clients had ownership of the shares. SEC Chairman Cox said "That is an important case and it reflects our interest in this area."[72]
In July 2007, Piper Jaffray was fined $150,000 by the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Piper violated securities trading rules from January through May 2005, selling shares without borrowing them, and also failing to "cover short sales in a timely manner", according to the NYSE.[73] At the time of this fine, the NYSE had levied over $1.9 million in fines for naked short sales over seven regulatory actions.[74]
Also in July 2007, the American Stock Exchange fined two options market makers for violations of Regulation SHO. SBA Trading was sanctioned for $5 million, and ALA Trading was fined $3 million, which included disgorgement of profits. Both firms and their principals were suspended from association with the exchange for five years. The exchange said the firms used an exemption to Reg. SHO for options market makers to "impermissibly engage in naked short selling."[75][76][77]
In October 2007, the SEC settled charges against New York hedge fund adviser Sandell Asset Management Corp. and three executives of the firm for, among other things, shorting stock without locating shares to borrow. Fines totaling $8 million were imposed, and the firm neither admitted nor denied the charges.[78]
In October 2008 Lehman Brothers Inc. was fined $250,000 by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) for failing to properly document the ownership of short sales as they occurred, and for failing to annotate an affirmative declaration that shares would be available by the settlement date.[79]
In April 2010 Goldman Sachs paid $450,000 to settle SEC's allegations that it had failed to deliver "approximately" 86 short sells between early December 2008 and mid-January 2009, and that it had failed to institute adequate controls to prevent the failures. The company neither admitted nor denied any wrongdoing.[80]
In May 2013, lawyers acting for Goldman accidentally released an unredacted document revealing compromising internal discussions regarding Naked Short Selling. e.g. "Fuk the compliance area – procedures, schmecedures,"
Most of the people on this board that have been here prior to last week know I am HIGHLY suspect of STBV/Andy, and for valid reasons that have been discovered over the past couple weeks.
With that said.... and after a great deal of DD and thinking the past few days I have formulated an idea of what I think is going to happen going forward. Sure, I could keep this to myself, but then again, WHY?
1. I'm almost 100% sure that Andy was surprised by the volume that has happened over the past 15 trading days.... "As far as the market goes we are doing great and I couldn't be happier with the volume in the stock." Andy Fellner 02/28/2014
2. We know that Andy registered the Reg A filing to sell 30 billion shares @ .00001, and to date it appears that around 12 to 15 billion have been dumped...just look at the chart and do your own calculations.
3. I'm fairly confident that if Andy wasn't able to sell all of the 30 billion prior to February 10th, that he has most likely been able to sell the remainder after showing potential investors the volume of interest to date.
4. I don't think Andy could have sold the remainder of Reg A shares to "investors" without expressing the potential of running the stock back up from the current .0005 PPS.
5. Yes, there are a TON of shares on the market already, and I think we can be fairly confident that there are going to be another 17 to 15 billion more to dump, BUT, I also have a feeling that Andy may have the ability to persuade the Reg A buyers to let the PPS go back up....that would benefit everyone involved in my mind.
6. I do believe that there are alot more PR's that are going to be coming out from Abdy/STBV because he basically has to pump the stock at this point....how high will the PPS climb?...I have NO idea because it's already a fat pig with even more to be dumped going forward.
7. Is Bearpotinc real?? I'm highly suspect, but then again, stranger things have happened. I'm almost 100% positive that Andy has heard or read the current shareholders concerns over the past couple weeks, and will "play" into those concerns in order to help himself!!
8. I have no doubt that the website, Facebook and other internet exposure tools will be coming out shortly.... "We believe that the website renovations we intend to incorporate will be a key component to a significant increase in traffic, ultimately yielding in greater exposure and investor interest," stated Andy Fellner, President and CEO of Strategic Global Investments. He continues: "The Facebook page and website are set for launch soon."
9. At this point, I see STBV as selling one thing and one thing only... 30 billion Reg A shares with the "potential" of a real profit generating business by the 3rd or 4th Qtr. of 2014.
10. I own 600,000 share purchased at an average of .0015.
And for this being a scam....I have my own thoughts and the SEC has theirs!
LOL...
1. Do you realize that if STBV had not released the Pr's that they were going into the MJ biz, then they could have NEVER sold BILLIONS of shares!
2. Has anyone checked the Colorado real estate transactions for the past month?
3. Do you realize that the stock has gone from .008 to .0005 within 14 trading days with ONLY about half the 30 billion .0001 shares being sold so far??
4. Do you realize that even IF a 1/4 of the share volume the past 14 trading days were shorts that you would STILL have roughly 4 to 6 BILLION shares being held by Penny Flippers that want to get out or make a profit off of a few upticks?
5. Newbies----please just google what 30 billion shares @ .0001 will do to a stock trading under a penny. Google Colorado State MJ license requirements. Go to the SEC/EDGAR website and type in STBV to look at the filings over the past year.
6. Ask yourself why would you buy shares down here at .0006ish when there are peeps sitting in front of their computer with BILLIONS of shares they purchased at .0001.
7. Ask yourself why STBV/Andy would pay $25,000 3 times for a one day pump during the past two weeks.
8. Ask yourself what happens when the dumpers are gone and Andy/STBV and the .0001 sellers have their money. Will Andy still have a motive to keep releasing PR's???
9. Ask yourself why over the past week or so that you can watch Level 2 and clearly see that the sellers wait until the bid grows to large million share blocks and then whacks the bid hard.
10. Ask yourself why a media company such as STBV has not made their own video about the MJ farm and broadcast it on their site instead of paying $25K a pop to promote it...And don't let others confuse you by stating that it's advertising! Real companies advertise when they have a real product to sell...NOT .0006 shares that are owned at .0001 in the BILLIONS!
11. Ask yourself why Penny stocks are notorious for being scams and VERY risky.
12. LOL
13. Ask yourself why STBV's stock chart looks like a down hill slope since Feb 10th. when they just entered the hottest sector since the Dot com era.
14. Ask yourself why FINRA put out a warning about MJ Penny stocks on the very same day STBV released the first PR that they were entering the MJ arena.
15. Ask yourself why the STBV property in Mexico has never been developed.
16. Ask yourself why Bearpotinc was formed on Feb 14th but STBV did not release the company that they purchased the MJ farm from. AND DON'T BELIEVE IT'S BECAUSE IT'S CONFIDENTIAL OR THAT IT'S BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW WHERE THE FARM IS!! LOL...They have "Weed Maps" of MJ companies on the internet!!!
17. Google where Bearpotinc has it's registered address....hint....it's in a strip mall in Parkland, Colorado.
18. Ask yourself why a media company like STBV needs to hire a website developer to design their website so "investors" can be informed on a timely basis seeing that they never pursued that before.
19. Ask yourself how much the retail investor is going to end up paying for the MJ farm by the time the 30 billion shares being sold between .008 and .0005 are done being dumped.
20. Ask yourself why Andy/STBV didn't release the great news that they were approved by the SEC to sell the 30 billion Reg A .0001 since Andy seems very aggressive in keeping his investors/buyers informed.
21. Ask yourself what will happen when the 30 billion shares are done being sold and they get off the ask.....hint...it will be almost the same as now, just that the recent buyers will then be the ones on the ask selling the billions of shares just like the .0001 sellers.
22. Please be aware that the "short report" website is reported to be a potential scam.
23. Ask yourself as many questions as you can before handing over your hard earned money to the .0001 sellers and WHY they would be selling SO aggressive if the shares they hold have such great potential.
24. LOL....I'm a short trying to cover down here...LOL NOT!!!!

Told you guys they are reading this board!!
"We believe that the website renovations we intend to incorporate will be a key component to a significant increase in traffic, ultimately yielding in greater exposure and investor interest," stated Andy Fellner, President and CEO of Strategic Global Investments. He continues: "The Facebook page and website are set for launch soon."
NOW your catching on to the REAL POS that Andy is!!!
That"s because they were not able to sell as many as the fools are willing to buy.....which means the buying is drying up do to peeps realizing this is a BAD place for their money!
That"s exactly what peeps thought SEVERAL days ago, and you can see what happened!
Because they most likely were privy to Andys MJ PR plan.
I sold the majority of my holdings so that I can use them in other investments that don't have such outrageous POS running it. I kept 600k shares just to see IF this pig runs for some odd reason....ie...PUMP!
I honestly think that Andy doesn't give a rip about this stock and would not be upset if it was reduced to NO BID, because in reality, he already cashed out with his Reg A. Think about it!
And guess who just incorporated it on Feb 14th??? Yep, Andy and his friend Robert Coffy!
This is WAY more than what's called "risk", this is death by 30 billion shares owned at .0001!
LOL...that means fools are still buying, but not at as aggressively as the sellers would like! That's why the stock held, the sellers are getting to the point that they realize they are stuck with roughly 15 billion shares still to sell.
Do you even realize how many private MJ growers are in Colorado that will/would be competition for ANY MJ operation? The prices of MJ in Colorado are and have already dropped.....which is great for the med/rec user, but not so much for the retailer.
Oh my.....so STBV actually spent LESS on the MJ facility??? THAT"S EVEN WORSE!!!
It all started on February 3. Strategic Global Investments, Inc. (OTCMKTS:STBV) jumped out of nowhere and registered some impressive volumes while surging towards the penny per share mark. We wrote about the run back then and if you take a look through our article, you’ll see that STBV‘s climb was propelled by nothing more than rumors about the company’s entrance into the marijuana industry. Not surprisingly, it slipped and, over the following four sessions, it managed to incinerate around 70% of its value.
On February 10, the management team decided to confirm the speculations and officially announced that they have entered “meaningful negotiations” for the acquisition of a marijuana growing facility which, apparently, was a good enough reason for the paid pumpers to jump in. A peculiarly-timed change in the business plan, you would agree, but nevertheless, it was bound to cause some stir on the market.
The so-called green rush has prompted numerous penny stocks to switch to the marijuana industry and the results have been pretty much identical – skyrocketing share prices. At first, STBV was no exception. It climbed up again and in just six and a half hours, it managed to gain no less than 71%. Shareholders were happy about the new business plan and new investors were jumping in on the bandwagon, excited about the huge opportunities presented by the cannabis sector. Everything suggested that STBV was going to continue on its upward run at least for a few more days, but then, something terrible happened.
On February 11, shareholders and investors woke up to find out that the company’s share structure information had been updated on the OTC Markets’ website. And it revealed some bad news.
According to it, there are now a whopping 100 billion shares authorized and 12 billion of them were issued and outstanding as of February 11. The float hovers around the 4.6 billion mark and, as if these figures weren’t bad enough, some diligent investors found out that there is a huge possibility of more stock issuance in the near future.
This 1-A document was filed on January 13 and it shows that STBV want to sell a mind-bending 30 billion shares of common stock in order to raise just $3 million. Investors now know that the stock is being diluted severely and everyone is running for the exits.
Not surprisingly, this is affecting the ticker. Of the last ten sessions, only two ended in the green. The cumulative losses amount to around 87% and the fact that even the pumpers decided to take cover should give you an idea of how embarrassing the drop is. Is it that surprising though?
We have written our fair share of articles on STBV and if you have been following them closely, you’ll see that we’ve tried to warn investors numerous times about the signs of severe dilution that we’ve seen in the company’s financial statements. That said, even we were surprised by its magnitude.
One thing is for sure: the colossal number of outstanding shares means that if STBV is to sustain any sort of respectable levels, the management team will need to show us some seriously solid business operations. Unfortunately, on that front, things don’t appear to be particularly promising either.
3STBV_logo.jpgThey seem excited about their acquisition of an enterprise called Bearpot Inc, but the fact of the matter is that, as we wrote in our previous article, there’s almost no information about their future daughter company available on the internet. The financial statements show that STBV‘s previous endeavors haven’t exactly been a resounding success as well.
All in all, they don’t have much room for mistakes and the same goes for the people who are still contemplating a potential investment. Being extremely careful and doing a lot of due diligence is, as always, absolutely essential.
