Richie..... Can always tell from the tone of your posts, which days you are wearing the underwear that is 2 sizes too small.
LOL... Keep the faith Mon...... Thats all we have left.
I'm either going down with the Kits, or I will make a nice profit.
Pass me the Dice !!!!
Richie, I said this before but its worth repeating.
A down and out Gentleman was once accused of being a gambler. Being confronted with that acquisition, the man became very indignant and replied back "I am not a gambler, If I were a gambler I would be playing the Stock Market."

Were gonna need it !
Woody... That video was 7 months old so it is old news. I stumbled on it yesterday and to the best of my knowledge I didn't know it existed or if others on the BB s were aware of it. I hang around mostly on RB and never saw it there. What was supposed to happen in 2007 didn't, so now we are being asked to be patient until 2Q 2008 as per the Stockholders letter. Yaacov has gone way out on a limb with the promise of 2Q news. I think this is the last chance Identa will have to show results to maintain any credibility. Don't ask me why, but I believe this guy, or I want to believe him. There seems to be some event that must occur first, and then the door opens up to let the public know all. Part 2 of that video finds an apologetic Yaacov promising news will be available when the time is right. 2Q will either make us or break us based on what or what does not happen. I want to believe this guy because he must realize that such promises will soon run out of gas. He seems persistent in his message, and thats all we have to hang onto right now.
Pretty much a leap of faith at this point. Check out this video. Part 2 can be found as a link to the right of the screen. Yaacov's comments in this telephone interview align with his shareholder letter. All thats left to see is the follow through.

Richie........ my take here is we now find ourselves on the same playing field with all the other companies that do such things on this particular exchange. The Heard has grown large now and PPS survival will depend on how it is ultimately thinned out. Don't have to tell you what the obvious solution is, and its not open hunting season either. We are now running on pure faith that this man will release Explosive news and Financial info in 2Q, probably in conjunction with the dreaded "you know what". Should that happen, and if the timing is correct, and if the news is as good as Mr. Shoham leads us to believe, we just might survive the event and have enough momentum to move forward.
IMO
Actually those ears are your most striking feature. I hope Valarie is better looking than you !
Thanks for the laugh today my friend. I needed one.
What a mental picture that is.
Guess for about 26,315 shares you can have a good time. Thats worth about $50 at .0019
Ok... Yes it did. Maybe Yaacov will come up with that extra mil to retire Alliance. That will show us how much he loves the longs here.
Thanks Richie
Ok Richie.... I'll buy your theory. Whatever is happening seems to all be heading in the right direction. 2Q will tell all.
By the way, I'm still learning how to speak Canadian. What is this:
HTH vits? JMVHO so rip 'er to shreds bud
I have a question
Lets assume Alliance is selling to some unknown, wouldn't that mean that the total number of outstanding shares does not change? Wouldn't Identa have to buy these shares back to retiree them?
You would not be wise to buy this stock. Take word from those who have been burned, and burned again. The only real Boobs here are the stockholders who believed the crap fed to us by this company, just before they recklessly r/s and the stock becomes almost worthless. It happened 3 or 4 times already.
Richie... Had to look twice at that picture to see what was holding up that grain of rice. Couldn't figure out if it was boobs, or the official report on that failed viagra test kit.
Finally realized they were fingers.
I know... Its Christmas so I'll cut it out.

Richie... You already got your Christmas gift, that warm e-bottle of Hermannator. You turned out to be the easiest and cheapest gift this year. Cost me about a nano cent of electricity.
Wishing you a Very Merry Christmas tho. I would love nothing more than to see this puppy run up to a buck and we all celebrate at a huge stockholders meeting in Vegas. That is my Christmas wish for all longs here. Kinda shallow I guess, but what the heck, afer 7 or 8 Hermannators, thats about the best I can muster up.
Wishing you all the best in 2008. Wishing you even better Luck in the 2nd Quarter of next year.

Don't know if you see the "Visit Israel" Commercials on TV, but their slogan says it all.
Who Knew?
Have a Great Holiday and New Year !

Orangeman.... I have learned much over a 5 year period. I do not buy pinks anymore. I came into this toilet as a doe eyed newbie thinking I was going to make lots of Money. Actually could have made money with ADZR but did not sell when I should have. Only pink I have left with any value is IDTA and I am only here to have fun with it, with some hope that it may take off someday. Pinks are no way an important part of my portfolio. I am new here I know, but I am not attempting to stir up anything other than common interest in something I believe we all own. I am not crying in my beer, unless some fell into the Hermannator Richieboy sent me.
Good investing Orangeman, and I appreciate you comeback and advice. I am learning all the time.

Right back to ya Richie. Virtual Bar Hopping, a new e-first.

Always glad to tip a few with ya Mon. Takes the edge off of Pinky Land burn out. Not quite sure if I have mastered my image posting here, but I will learn. Until then..... Drink Up !!!
Did a little DD myself and came up with some excerpts from Wickipedia:
A market maker is a firm who quotes both a buy and a sell price in a financial instrument or commodity, hoping to make a profit on the turn or the bid/offer spread. Most stock exchanges operate on a matched bargain or order driven basis. In such a system there are no designated or official market makers but market makers nevertheless exist. When a buyer's bid meets a seller's offer (or vice versa) the stock exchange's matching system will decide that a deal has been executed.
Other U.S. exchanges, most prominently the NASDAQ Stock Exchange, employ several competing official market makers in a security. These market makers are required to maintain two-sided markets during exchange hours and are obligated to buy and sell at their displayed bids and offers. They typically do not receive the trading advantages a specialist does, but they do get some, such as the ability to naked short a stock, i.e. selling it without a borrow. In most situations only official market makers are permitted to engage in naked shorting.
Most important thing I get from the above, is that "firms" can be hired to do this, which brings me back to my original question "Is this a Good or a Bad thing ???? Seems to put Companies and Stockholders at the mercy of someone elses interests.
See... Thats my point.... Have received a few opinions from you folks as to what a MM is and does. Everything from an individual trying to make a buck on stocks that don't trade much volume, to crooked azz holes trying to destroy a company' or maybe insiders that have nothing to do with any MM. Over the years I have read such posts that as an example would read like " we will make money when the MMs decide to make this move". I never quite understood who these shadowy MM people are or how they make a stock move. Thanks for the input. Don't want to beat this to death. Reason why I even brought it up was because of recent posts talking about hi volume after hours trading which "could be" because of MMs.
Thanks Orangeman... Probably had too much eggnog cause I still don't get it. What gets accomplished by doing this ? In your example the bid is now higher and the ask in now lower. Did this raise the PPS ? Does this sort of thing happen on a large scale by stock manipulators? Would MMs be considered good or bad, or is the answer to that question.... it depends on wheather they want your particular stock to go up.
Thanks
Papadedavid.... I have a question about Market Makers. My understanding is that a firm or individual may put both a buy and sell bid out there to attempt to minipulate the share price up or down. Do ligitament companies hire such people to do this on their behalf, or is this some outside entity which decides to target a specific company for their own gain? I would imagine thats how some companies are shorted into the dirt. Never quite understood this concept. Is it legal, or at a minimum is it ethical?
Thanks
JohnnyV
Mike ...A very encouraging step (or should I say Leap) forward. Now I am really looking forward to Yaacovs acessment of the US trip. All Government Agencies, Airports, Transportation systems, law enforcement agencies and anyone concerned or charged with publics safety around the Globe should be using Identa products if they are indeed superior to others. The " No false Positives" claim is really the most important aspect of the Identa product line. Thanks for your update !
Holy Crap....... Enter some government contracts (hopefully) and we are off to the races !!!!!!!! Longs can sit back and watch this thing really explode !!!
Go Identa !!!!
OK... Time to educate me here.
What does "the MM painted the tape for an up tick" mean?
This beer even tastes good at 8:00 am !!
ROTF laughing my azz off. I love imported Beer. All has become so crystal clear now. Why couldn't I see it before ?
Thanks for the laugh. Didn't expect special delivery right to my home. LOL
Richie... I have given much thought to our recent exchange, have gone through all the posts again and read and re-read the PR. having pain stakingly researched all such materials, I have come to the conclusion that you are drinking some real good Beer there and I want some.
All the Best to you in 2008 my Canadian friend.
JohnnyV
Just read your latest post. All good points. I share your optimism because I choose to do so. What will really make me happy is when I see this thing start to climb above .005 at the present volume we now seeing.
Richie... Sometimes the written word can be misunderstood. Not saying you are some kind of sicko, I was just very surprised that you got such a positive spin from the latest PR. At times you have been very vocal regarding Mr. Shohan's lack of financial transparency. Your last few posts seem to say you now have more confidence in how Yaacov is handling such matters. My take on this PR .... Its all good, New Patents .... Great news... but still I see no meat and potatos. I still feel like I am holding onto a ticket and a dream. Trying to read between the lines on these PRs is very subjective when you can look at it 6 ways to Sunday trying to figure out what is implied in such "forward looking statements". We have been trying to read between the lines for a long time now. Do I think this company will succeed ?... Very hopeful ....Will I hold my position?... Yes... Do I put my blind trust in Pink Sheet stocks ?... Not any more I don't..... Do I really know what the hell is going on?... Not at all. But I do remain cautiously optimistic.
Now pass me one of those Beers Please !!!!
JohnnyV
Richie, I believe you command the respect of most on these boards, and you can put me at the top of that list. You do have to admit tho, that you can be Bi polar on this issue at times. I try to make light of it when your in a bad mood or something, but at times you can send out mixed signals. I think we are all very tired and anxious and just waiting for a great product to turn into a good investment for all the time and money we have put into this company. I truly hope your assessment is correct. We all do !!!! I am hopeful, or else I would have sold my shares a long time ago.
Nough Said
Orangeman.... That is my concern as well.
Hope your right Richie. By the way, take 2 Advil if your typing finger starts to cramp up on you. Just kidding. I'm just tired of always having to wait for the good news. And you know me by now, I always see the glass as half full of New Kits. Two cents would have been a nice Christmas present. I think my wife is going to put .02 cents in my Christmas stocking this year. This way..... I get my .02 cents and can shut up.
Sharing your Optimism for 2008.
GLTA
Where does 7M shares for sale all of a sudden come from, and who would be buying or loading up? Some days you see 0 volume, but the last few days we have seen several million shares a day. Wish I understood the logic behind this.
Tomorrow....Tomorrow... I Love Identa Tomorrow.... Sales figures are only..... a day away.
Where the hell is my .02 cents ?
News ? Did you say News? New Kit that detects aching corns and bunyons for dancing CEOs. I know.... I'll go back to Raging Bull where I belong.
Yaacov and Juliann Hough ???? Naaahh ..Can't see it. But your absolutely right, think about the exposure Identa could get if Yaacov can dance. He certainly dances beautifully around the main issue with the shareholders. Been hanging around here for a while now, just like to save my invigorating nonsense for Raging Bull-ony.
Sounds bad Richie.... You better get one of those Lead test Kits.
