Well then in a big city like NY it must be tough for high-profile people's children marriages to get to or be invited, for example, so another venue would be showing the String Quartet on Gander.tv from the wedding (with a constant heading of whose wedding compliments, with ads) as a service to rich people's weddings (paying the fee, for example)... I'd watch classical music performances, I'm a little too picky on my rock (it's hard to find, but classical is easier to stomach bad choices)... And that's nice to hear about your view on NY city (not as good as being born in Jerusalem and raised in NY City, but at least that's all y'all've known and you don't know what you're missing.)
With 8 million people in NY City years ago, surely the hits could improve with advertising or joint ad with Yahoo to show Gander.TV to anyone accessing Yahoo from that region... a sign on city bus or street.. free match books at bars (the cheapest and best seen --- in a now smoke free city law? lol)
Do they have an app that shows gander.tv on iPhones? I'm clueless and app's and could care less about using them.... but plenty do use them.
Guest 1%, Ali 1%, UBRG 49%.... it is too possible, Guest and Ali align their 1%'s with NDR resign from UBRG board after approving the spinoff... UBRG owns 49% of spinoff IPO shares providing real cash for UBRG shareholders.... and UBRG shareholers are still holding some spunoff NDR shares trading on NASDAQ.... They have to let go and make real money... NDR would make the deal for the spinoff to no longer be controlled by the two 1pcts if they went back to UBRG, for example...
Couple of things:
They were wondering where all the support was coming from... blah, blah in the market and couldn't figure it out... Cash from Chinese buying up all the real estate... bank investments, i.e.
MM I swear said 40 billion in noon interview (like with a green/blue? outfit on)... then on MadMoney that same day they went out of their way to show the interview only of her saying 10 billion in a red dress... pure forced change... MM seems honest and on the right track with changes in Yahoo... the JP Morgan interview suggest that maybe the CFO might have made her retake that with 10 billion as what the ANALyst decided was Yahoo possible value.... It's been bothering me... so now I've said what I saw.... Perhaps I don't remember the dress color, doubt it, but I do remember what was said... (maybe, lol)
I understand, but what are the odds of an underwriter taking NDR public as a spinoff? That's the way to go...
There is probably a white-paper or newletter or joint meetings on how to milk money from the pennies cash-cow...
Today I followed another investors posts as an inquiry...and found this one did a Summit on April 10 SNEY 04/10/2014 7:34AM MWUS Sunergy's West African Mining Summit Update From London and Future Prospects
Brownwood? Wow, maybe Treaty in a year or two could have a shareholders meeting at that famous BBQ place everyone stops at on their way to Austin...
Good to hear about a set well (is it state approved... can't remember)... but worries me a little as they said they had Val Energy setup for a spud on or before June 15... That is a problem, explains why its been dropping... maybe it'll keep going up but I doubt it'll hold with forward looking statements that don't panout... makes me think my money is lost in this... but I'll hold and grin and bear it unless signs of dumping to pay for drilling in July.... this is really the flaw of SEC forward looking statement stuff and pennies... they kid themselves to stay afloat and draw salaries off investors money that their upbeat hopes stole (its general pennies, hopefully FormCap isn't one of them... lol)
CNBC this morning just a few ago said Apple reports bringing out an iPhone that will control appliances... maybe its the same...
Who cares what Dan Loeb did? May 16 they reported he soldout of yahoo and Yahoo has gone up... So oh, maybe we didn't hear about it and have to listen to more hype from them trying to manipulate the market and get headliners too lazy for DD to panic sell?
So this is like an admission of wrong by Dan who was expecting to buyback in at a lower price?
Dan Loeb Quits Yahoo Board After Making A Fortune - Business ...
www.businessinsider.com/dan-loeb-resigns-from-yahoo... Cached
A year after joining the Yahoo board and pushing it to hire Marissa Mayer as CEO, directors Dan Loeb, Michael Wolf, and Harry Wilson are resigning at the ...
May 16 article....Exits
Yahoo’s (NASDAQ: YHOO) Marissa Mayer rally has come to an end. Dan Loeb does not seem to think the stock is going anywhere soon as he cut his entire stake. Last quarter, Third Point Capital owned eight million shares worth $324 million....
It does actually work... I just clicked on it and then refresh and poof his posts were gone...

There are some deadweight analysts following YHOO, as one still has low target of 15 when not one analyst has a sell recommendation (no sell orders).
References: Unupdated price target (it would be a sell suggestion)
16 strong buys, 3 buys, 9 holds, ZERO sells
And is M.M. CEO being extorted or just giving to charities? She's like the only one still just selling anymore... Insider trading
These two things are like the only negatives I can find that would make some poor DD buy puts or dump out of their fund.... weird! It was a hard hold from 36.8 to 33.??... It was at a time when people were on CNBC trying to cause market panic looking for a seasonal selloff.
MARKET PANIC: What happens when semi-experience middle-aged and young people from experience don't want their 401k dropping and look for signs of a selloff to go to cash to not get burned like last time.
This is probably a result of people holding views that highs and lows are like a megaphone and news highs will also bring new lows swings. So I felt it was pure paranoid thoughts with that type of forecast out there plus Russia problems with ex-USSR citizens being mistreated in Urk.
Another funny one, not too long ago before end of last week (like a week and a half...) one CNBC hour show had that Europe was the place to be for next 2 years then ... lol... so that couple days last week it was doom and gloom again.... oh, boy....
Noticed too, that the so-called expert that tried to cause the panic selloff (said one more week could go up 10% the market but the next week would start selloff) that selloff was the Wednesday of the Hedge fund manager meetings in Las Vegas... it was a setup (they're stealing our money, of course its opinions and experience speaking here).
I hope some at Google or something like that aren't extorting money from MM CEO of Yahoo from some late night fling or something or another.... Really strange her selling.... At first I thought she was trying to be like Gates and just sell every month period... I am not so sure anymore. She seems smarter than that.
I kind'a ponder the new cloud storage (like one could get from Webroot Security Softwar 25 free gigs, for example) as in the old days businesses would take backups to bank vaults and other off site fireproof places which would keep from loss in a solarflare or some kind of EMT... but if we get lazy and then get hit by a electronic whipout.... dark ages for a while (they're even doing away with microfilming newspapers at libraries, it'll be like lost records of the fires of Alexandria... lost forever)...
So it's not a wasted post, from NY Times a partial of the article comparing to Twitter: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/26/technology/no-time-to-text-apps-turn-to-stickers.html
....The Tokyo start-up Line, along with WeChat from China, has sought to pepper the messaging experience with an array of stickers, social games and even weather forecasts. Their sprawling online offerings make them huge distribution platforms for content, not just messaging services.
“It’s messaging, evolved,” said Takeshi Idezawa, Line’s chief operating offer.
Line has signed up 430 million users, almost 90 percent of them outside Japan. (It does not break out the number of active users.) WhatsApp said in February that it had 465 million monthly active users, while WeChat’s parent company, Tencent, said its number of monthly active users reached 355 million at the end 2013.
Such apps have been the target of frenzied deal-making. Snapchat spurned a multibillion-dollar offer from Facebook last year; Facebook eventually bought WhatsApp in February for $19 billion. The same month, Rakuten, the Japanese e-commerce giant, acquired Viber for $900 million. Yahoo snapped up Blink this month for an undisclosed sum.
Analysts speculate that Line could go public or be an acquisition target for a company like SoftBank, one of Line’s advertising clients. Justin Lee, a technology analyst at BNP Paribas, values the service at as much as $15 billion — slightly less than the valuation fetched by Twitter when it made its debut on the New York Stock Exchange in November. Line declined to comment on the issue.
“Line’s localization efforts are paying off,” Mr. Lee wrote in a recent note, pointing to improving momentum, especially in Southeast Asia and Latin America.
The American market is still largely up for grabs. Although WhatsApp dominates in Europe and Latin America, users in the United States have been slow to move to messaging apps from texting, leaving WhatsApp and Snapchat vying for footholds. Much of Asia has gravitated toward local players: Line in Japan, WeChat in China and KakaoTalk in South Korea.
Continue reading the main story
“I do think Line and WeChat have the capability to challenge WhatsApp,” said Neha Dharia, a senior analyst at Ovum, a technology advisory firm.
The landscape remains competitive because, more than Facebook and Twitter, messaging apps are likely to be downloaded and then dumped. Users of these apps do not have to build their social networks from scratch, because the apps live on smartphones and are able to tap directly into address books, photos and other personal data. Friend lists and content, like photos, which might lock users into a service like Facebook, are far less important in the temporary world of instant messaging....

Rosneft, BP agree to explore for shale oil in Russia
....With Putin attending the ceremony, Sechin and BP Russia head David Campbell signed an agreement at the St Petersburg International Economic Forum to jointly explore for hard-to-recover oil in the Volga-Urals region of central Russia.
Rosneft will hold 51 percent of the joint venture which will explore the so-called Domanic formation and BP will hold 49 percent. BP holds an almost 20 percent stake in Rosneft.
"We are very pleased to be a part of Russian energy complex," Bob Dudley, chief executive with BP, told the forum. He was also present at the signing but did not sign it himself....

I was always told not to double dip...
Some have called me a dipshit, so if anyone reads this they would be buying on the dips...
Downunder they are already delivering LNG product to market which according article form comment on another article that says Australia has 10 LNG built or in completion shows that it will kill business in Australia (and has been) so if their deal with to deliver Australian LNG then it could be right-away...
....Australian manufacturers disagree. The head of global chemical giant Dow, Andrew Liveris, is one of Australia's most successful business exports.
Born in Darwin, he is now co-chairman of US president Barack Obama's Advanced Manufacturing Partnership and chairman of the US Business Council.
"Our Dow Australia factories here in Melbourne are seeing a doubling of gas prices when our contact expires here this year, which is going to render them pretty uncompetitive," Mr Liveris said.... Response article <---<<<
British Columbia want-to-be's LNG providers includes big names but no NDR or UBRG
Now this first article (here last) talks about LNG from US from Or. and Gulf (but failed to note Chinese are trying to open a channel in Nig. (by passing Panama and locks...) as driving LNG prices down too and S. Korea reopening reactors bringing demand down... Now don't forget the recent Russian deal with China to supply NG from Siberia... more less demand for LNG from the Far East....
If they (the rich) already don't have AAPL I doubt they will buy next week if not today as it's Hampton's time (AKA vacation)... not in the elite crowd if you stick around for Mem. Yom through Lab. Yom...
lol
maybe so... I was pondering 20 * 7 after split 140 total... I'm not an elite vacation here...
Another risk: Sure you can tell too, the two leaders with the 1% could join up with NDR and tell UBRG what to do, too... Vince make your Summit at the Stanley... it's so fitting... :)
I don't know why I just now thought of that... So anyone making a deal with NDR would be wise to include Vince and Ali in signings.
Jesus!... They could hop over to NDR board and resign from UBRG and go public over their leaving us to owning just 49% via UBRG and/but them losing control they've had before... wow...
The Summitt in 5/9/2014 news should tell all, (and since a summit is a high point on a mountain, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summit , they may be planning on having it at Stanley Hotel, Estes Park, CO, http://www.visitestespark.com/lodging/ ).
But really, there is a real chance here. If you Google: ['ndr ubrg site:investorshub.advfn.com] or some combination like that, you should find past post years ago where someone pointed out like they knew the people at NDR that they never provided capital for NDR to make deals as the original deal between to two agreed. Then before that when the leaders took over you'll find their deal was for bonus shares for them based on volume increases. Now whether it just turned out that way or planned, it does not matter, they've increased volume... no need to speculate how. NDR ended up minority owner with UBRG having 49% as the leaders held 2% (1% each maybe)... with some rule gave them majority ownership power.
The fact is NDR is still kicking and dealing deals and working with the UBRG leaders. They have volume revenue with small margins at NDR. They've made deals wanting and showing concern for share price moving upwards. Perhaps this time they've hit the jackpot? Time will tell. But with Global or whatever ownership of 61 or something pct of UBRG now, there is basically a new leader in town (she can do to them as they did to NDR if need be, but not likely as posts here says group is friend of theirs...) It's a high risk and gamble. These are forward looking statements and actual results may vary (the big con of the Pink sheet world and us thinking the SEC cares if were tricked). I'd say ask for a Summit ticket if you plan own owning any full percent of the company.... Scary... but it might work out.
(Okay, so think about, she can't do too much as she need their two 1%'s to control NDR...) Still a scary Summit ahead (esp. if at Stanley Hotel, lol).
In the far past, which its probably the same now, back when this was .04-.06/share... it was revealed that they delay reports and do not mention the name (stick in agreement, but reason is) for their competitors will undercut them if they find out too soon before deal closes. NDR is working on deals all the time there-by blah, blah...
Perhaps yesterday end-of-day rise was from: ichi, ni, san, yon, go, roku, nana, hachi, kyuu, juu (1-10 in Japanese... 10 Japs buying in... Actually the dude that owns 80% of Sprint and majority of Softbank that owns 67% of T-Mobile... could finance this deal in his sleep, for example).
Feedlot industry has to keep water clean but don't... new farm/ranch rules in Virginia (I think nationwide EPA, heard on All-Ag-All-Day yesterday's Ag Talk) have to fence off all waterways (I assumed it was for keeping cows from pissing or shitting in water...)
Oil transport business wouldn't be bad... as there should be a lot of trucks available once pipeline in Permian Basin opens this June (another one) ... that should free up longhaul trucks anyway...
Okay, maybe they use BNSF instead of trucks....
Works now... didn't a while ago... so updating or something like a denial of service attack... anyway thanks everyone for checking on it.
I've been trying to visit Gander.tv and its overloaded or hacked or something...

Looking at chart its percentage gains from those that bought in .000's taking major rewards (profits)... so first off, they have to find out about the company before they can be interested in it... and second it usually always falls in that gap (profit taking and lack of desire/knowledge of the target company by the sharks)...
If anything it matches Marisa Mayer's strategy to ad revenue (users 14 million to site).... Yahoo!
It's alive... looking at posts from another board basher and his pro post here... wow, 14 million users in march! That'll make them a buyout target for the likes of Yahoo type buyers... so I marked to look further into...
Another Microsoft Deathwish : Flash integrated into Windows 8.1 IE 11 forced so you can't update it and protect yourself and they can give access to third parties to your computer... Proof: Plarium their game Total Domination... those sorry dudes are constantly changing my global flash setting allowing local storage and cam and mic... and I have User Account settings set to always notify me... yet when I play that game my flash settings get set to the way they want it without my approval.
Microsoft is horrible! Bill Gates needs to takeover again. I reported on website problem link in IE and no update has come out... proving they're junk now (Microsoft).
You stay true to your handle... Risk...
Commenting as risk is from what I heard:
Lots of the CNBC guys bought-in back on the initial drop.
Cramer a few ago on MadMoney said he would wait to buy on a caller in.
Charles Schwab wrote in his book that it doesn't matter how good your stock is, it will be suppressed by the overall market (i.e. down market)... so that has to hold true in a market sector (where we're at for Twitter, sort of).
I hope you do good, and I think it will in time but Jim also pointed out it had a downside potential too.
I like Twitter buying all those patents from IBM (or am I mixed up with Alibaba or perhaps they both did... hmmm - anyway they bought patents if I'm not mixed up before going public)...
I think Twitter is going to be bought out offerred fast if it drops to low twenties but with the 52 week high being so tall it'll be declined because of that. I think Jim said that to take a wait and see attitude. While everyone has biases he is someone to consider his insights from contacts and hedge fund experiences.
Not trying to talk you in or out... just putting out knowledge for whoever/whatever to be ignored or consider... get feedback so I can decide on Twitter short term too
3 years ago it was not so on reworked wells... but yes new drills are that way... was mixed up with rework... so it does no good to rework a well as it's limited to the field production (which most are still under the old method's of drilling and frac).
In general, how much of that is allowed by law to report, for example, 100/bbls-a-day well, but limited by Texas Railroad Commission to 10/bbls per month for the field? (If that were the case in the past, for example)
Oh... Cramer just stole my take... Apple China....
With Chinese banning Windows 8 and based on Snowden too, I tell you that means Apple (as that's what cyber security teams use at home)... I feel like what else with Microsoft killing themselves (what some kind of perfect industrial espionage with Microsoft's new CEO, maybe an underground 80's Microsoft hater planted him or just from God from the 80's people hating Microsoft... never know, bless)...
Problem is I have to spend 2.5 times ++ to get a Mac... bummer, 3.5 shares of apple to get one... How about a share of Apple at current presplit for every mac bought?

The road show will be interesting, as there are a few Americans that are not ready to work with Chinese (mainly they remember some military General of theirs wanting to destroy every American city with nukes).
While we have to remain mindful of some wanting to destroy us (and for Japan and South China Sea) they basically own a big portion of America now (buying housing and business' that were killing the market that is now alive again).
China invested in America with CHK Eagleford drilling 3.5 years ago too.
Americans need to embrace business with the Chinese in general (but as a government be ever-mindful of the factions wanting to takeover America by force quickly instead of by investments).
The new investment relationship of Chinese keep their loans to America of value and help keep the US Dollar as worldwide currency (which some thought China currency would takeover by 2007 - that can't happen without UK and US allowing it to which they will not most likely...)
If it wasn't for those Chinese problems Alibaba deal would be more prized... But as with everything else in this world money talks and money has the stage and Alibaba should've come in faster as eBay and Amazon and others will put pressure on Congress to pass a law protecting them... foolish of Alibaba to not do a blitz IPO as nobody believes them anyway trying to IPO the two previous years and cancelling... So, in other words, it is not a sure thing... but 80% sure of an IPO....
New CEO seems to be a winner!
It would be nice to know what the new board of directors will be as soon as possible though... (not updated yet, in other words Treaty Board )
Mr. Sanchez III got 6400+ shares for free added to his position and he didn't sell like a lot of others at other companies do.
Good, 2 ways, he doesn't need the money and he knows he can get a lot better later (on price). Perhaps they can move it up and stay list on the NYSE with some leases from Sanchez Eagleford as stated in forward looking statements?
Strange indeed... maybe its their innovative worldwide trading software is up and running... lol
People have been saying oil is going to 85/bbl since before last Fall and now they gave up with higher NG prices investing back in oil and gas... While a glut in the gulf exists it does not worldwide... Some Congressmen what keep our natural resources here by law, (that would dump prices)... Are you in OPEC? I've come to learn to believe Arabian inside knowledge or are you just opinionating again?
I heard we were short 1 million bbls a day worldwide.... it'll only get worse as modernization continues. I war between Viet Nam and China over South China Sea islands, or Russia and Urk would send oil to 300/bbl... only those in the know from the top oil players know...
Obama Administration as he stated when he took office what higher gasoline prices for movement to alternate energy... they're doing their job this Summer...
Good luck, hope it works out for you.
I posted I was here, I left... after reading wocketwallet.com about FAQ... the parts about use... very thin/weak and I can't imagine one's bank being willing to claim it was the wocket and take up the bogus charges with them (at least, if like every software even the new iPhone 5 got hacked if you are using a third party they ain't going to work with you, don't let VISA or MC or bank know you use the Wocket if something goes wrong. Companies with their terms of service nonsense give themselves access to you for "service and quality" gives way to spying, fraud).
Again these time are going to be bad with the cloud, everything about everyone in banks of drives/cpu's... I see no upside to the Wocket, probably because I always tell the department stores no and don't have a problem with too many cards...
Obama about to speak and two guys in front thumbing these little devices, looking down at them... Texting on phones et al is dysfunctional useless waste of time. Yahoo needs to move mind reading devices (they're real, people stick in pockets, i.e.) and tie that to DNA frequency of the user and tie to Dragon speech recognition and let us think texts (tweets) instead of that big thumb on a very small letter on a phone that you have to tap 1-4 times to get ....
The government and the insiders rich people trying to keep this technology a small secret is wrong. I remember the ads in the mid-90's in science magazines for device to read minds from people around you (evidently humans have general frequencies on top of individual DNA freq.)
Knowing this back in 2005 while still employed before retiring at age 45 I ran across my boss in hallway who had a disbelief and amazed look like he was off in another world... As I walked by I thought what are you reading minds with... you little short bald... that'd tell the truth if so.
Two weeks ago I called him giving him industry info and he chuckled several times and before hanging up is mentioned himself as a short bald... just like that day 9 years ago... thus proving he was using it, which I could tell anyway.
On top of that once in Lubbock Chess tournament a friend played a guy and lost claiming I swear he could read my mind. A couple of months later we had a Chess tournament and I played a guy from Lubbock. I've spent my scores trying and learning to think in images. So I made strategy by image and experience and whenever I thought of specific plans of attack as a con you could tell he started looking there... I won, he was in shock. It's real and its time to use it for good instead of evil.
