just to let everyone know...
my family was watching CNBC nearly all day today....at both houses.....sopeople do watch CNBC on Christmas.
very nice.....i did not get up until 7am...
when my kid was screaming his head off....15 months.
i did not ask for it. eom
Mr. Big,
they were good questions....but one was posted many time...the one about the TA or was it the PR firm....the info requested in the IBOX. If i were mod, i would have deleted all except one concerning your question about the info being removed from the IBOX, since one time is enough. but who am i? just another poster. your questions about the posted being deleted are valid, since you have no idea why they were, and that they were not TOU violations.
So, bottom line my friend, someone did not like the content of your post.
Dan
BASHERS...WHERE...
do you mean, people questioning the validity of the CEO's words? just a question.
The big deal is that...
since the company PRed it TWICE, we expect to see the outcome of that PR. Meaning, the company says they will do something, and then they do it. To me, that equals credibility.
Now, i don't know what the heck is the problem with the commercials, and I am not thinking that the commercials are going to bring in revenue, really.
but what I am thinking is that if the company says they paid to have commercials aired, they should be aired. Why were they not, even after the company spent money to clear up the reason why the first showing did not occur? That is the only thing I could see being a "problem".
Other than that, I could care less about the commercials.
Dan
The point about the commercial...
is that the company puts out a Press Release stating that commercials are coming. Who cares? Well obviously the company cares because they spent money to put out a release stating that they will be aired. A PR is not free. So why PR anything if it only makes your cred drop when it does not happen? Obviously, some cares, and they should not be chastized for caring what the company officially puts out. Finally, who said it was in the morning? Could be either I guess, since it was not mentioned AM vs. PM. Did Jim tell someone that it was in the morning?
Now, I would and have not invested in this company because of a commercial, I invested in it because it is obviously NOT an empty shell like most pinks, and they actually have products that they sell. I don't think the NRA would endorse a product that is a fraud. I thought the video was great....it was nice to see actual employees and products.
my opinions.
Dan
i will
oh...thats gotta hurt!
some say shorting is the only game in town....but not that time!
Go GATORS!...
Brent....
I laughed too hard with that one. i love it!
Good recap of the situation. Thank you for the ice-breaker.
Dan
Ok, I commented.....
on someone that was put out in the public eye. that is all. Now, I hope I never see a post that comments on how the president looks in an interview, or how a movie actor looks on screen, or how person in a YouTube video is goofy, because I will take that as a personal attack, or an off-topic comment that constitutes a TOU violation. I will honor the board's demand to stay on topic, but I will start TOSing ANY post on this board that is other than ON TOPIC and relevant to the discussion. Deal? Just trying to be fair.
Dan
To Hank:
Sorry for commenting on you specifically, in the interview. It has obviously upset the board, and perhaps you personally.
Dan
lol...great one...
and thanks for the tip on the broken links.....geocities is a horrible site.
and my cheesy alias....thanks, glad you like it.
posting style? what does that have to do anything? is yours better? lol.... you are a regular JD Salinger!
finally, go ckys! holding long currently.
good luck
me being a gunowner.....
i would really like to try out the "keepsafe"
you have to admit....
the smallcapengine piece was great.....but
hank zemla needs some work....lol
so i guess...
buying EQBM and holding for months on end after deadline after deadline is miss is successful trading?
ATTENTION BOARD..FUNNY LINK...
well, not funny, but pretty cool. i bet serfy will be playing with this for a while! Draw a line, hit play, and watch the guy on the sled ride....i was addicted all day today.
http://www.linerider.com
i am somewhat busy right now....
but just curious...did it finally air?
TIA
ok....good. eom
i am chillin....just asked...thanks for the response.
that is all fine and good...
but why would the commercial not show if the company PR'ed it that it would show?
We could talk about weak hands all day, but the question remains, Why did the company PR that it was to show, then it does not?
dream a little dream..158% in 2 weeks! eom
as expected....
mine lost exactly half its investment.
well, that is EQBM for ya. So, if I was to invest in EQBM 2 weeks ago, I would be down 50%......sounds about right.

this one is interesting serfy...
i will eye it on monday
Arturo, this is exactly what...
a CEO did in a company where I lost 99.99999% of my original investment. He converted debt into shares, then blamed it on a large short position as to why the stock was heavily diluted.
I think he learned about the benefits of shorting when he made this comment:
Paul Taylor, chairman & CEO of Trezac International Corporation stated the following: "Our Company's experience of the state-of-the-art book entry trading and delivery system for our company's securities strongly suggests the system is pathetically flawed. I believe that the system indirectly aids and abets substantially abusive practices by acquiescing to the counterfeiting of public company shares, distending the authentic number of free trading shares, causing an imbalance of supply, compounding a debasement of the value of the authentic shares in existence. This is simply counterfeiting. What will happen when every stock market opportunist finds a way to sell U.S. securities, never deliver them, and pocket the resulting cash? The only question remaining is, 'Why would anyone actually invest in US companies when selling short is not just the only game -- but the best game in town?'"
http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_pwwi/is_200303/ai_mark02051885/pg_2
Here is where the information on the latest version of the company (now called Privada, Inc, once Netco Investments, but was Telatinos, Inc. before that).
http://www.netcoinvestments.info/
The point is, the PR hype is created to get us to buy the shares so they can short against it. It may be logical to pump the stock up to then sell your shares (as the CEO), but it is easier for the CEO to send out a PR blitz to get action and interest in his stock to be able to short against the new buys.
That is basically how it works folks. So, as some say, "this was the dumbest pump ever", well my point is, it is very smart, since management GOT us to buy the shares, IMO, through the NOBO PR as we expect a squeeze. Very smart.
I would watch carefully. I hope this goes up. Don't invest with money that pays the bills.
is this old news...
i am sure most of you have seen this info.

Homeland Security Getting a Plethora of Bio Drives
Posted on Wednesday 30 August 2006, 5:42 AM
After a few US Government flash drives turned up for sale after being lost, it seems that the Department of Homeland Security is getting wise and buying an abundance of biometric flash drives. CyberKey Solutions Inc. has announced that the DHS has added another 40,000 of the low capacity Bio Drives to a standing purchase order of a staggering 25 million USD. The initial purchase order of 25 million USD was for 150,000 Bio Drives, to which another 40,000 units has been added. That is a plethora of flash drives no matter how you slice it. Wrap your brain around this; that's 12,161,000 MB, 11,875 GB, or over 11.5TB of flash storage assuming 64MB drives.
typically, if the pay date is:
today, then it goes in your account today.
But, I use Ameritrade and also Scottrade, and they both act differently when it comes to dividends.
Ameritrade will post the dividend to your account on the pay date...
Scottrade typically posts the dividend to your account the trading day AFTER the pay date.
That has been my experience with both brokers.
Good luck
Dan
just letting other know!..eom
mick, i am liking CKYS!
i bought in the other day, and I like what i see from the company. I hope to see audited financials soon.
Also, I am glad they are spending some money on TV commercials. they need to get the word out.
As for their prices, i wish they compared to Sandisk. I own a few jumpdrives and i paid much less for my sandisk drives than what Cyberkey sells theirs for at the same memory size.
what do you think?
Dan
don't worry JR, I have been sending complaints....
for about a month now. I must be the step-father then....
Since i am not an LRB.
And I will continue to flag any and all posts that fit a TOU violation. I think Matt may have about 50 or so posts that I have flagged.
now, i will go back to lurking.
eom
I am dzynstudios, by the way...eom
i lurk every day...lol,,,eom
-MDBY- i got some news on this one.
