oh you left out the rest of my post...selective copy and paste syndrome i believe. Thats common around here. Its kinda like a cold when you frustrated at good points.
I'll ask you again from memory without chopping or copying and pasting.
You advised someone to speak to the CEO if they had a question about something they didnt know.
I ask you locksflooring....
Why would you ask the CEO something directly before you ask the designated investor relations agent?
Jumping the chain of command is going to a level that is higher up on the food chain for answers or action when it would be more appropriate to ask the designated person assigned to answer questions first. Then you go to the next person who is qualified to answer that question.
In other words, why do recommend anyone ask the CEO when there is an IR guy for that?
I asked a few questions.
What will be done with the new A/S.
What constitutes a partnership...
Who is absorbing the cost for the BCBS of TN (thanks to locks I corrected NJ to TN my mistake thank you) deal announced today.
ANSWER
"The company has been very aggressive inacquiring other companies. It believes this is important to be done to survive in this sector. Sometimes shares are used in acquisitions."
"A partnership is a legal term. Lawyers on both or all sides are involved in these agreements and naming them partnerships. The company makes the determination, just like, say “Target” does, to sell its services or products at volume, so “absorbing” cost difference is made up in volume."
CBAI's Investor Relations agent is kinda like this board.
Paul Knopic deflects direct questioning if the answer isnt favorable.
How many of you recieve no reply at times and at others you are told something like...
Id be happy to help but I dont understand the question....
its my recommendation that we fight for a better deal.
Vote no and demand a better deal. Start calling...start writing...start showing up at cbai.
OF Course if you lay on your belly youre gonna get it lying down.
This is going to happen if we dont demand more.
Hey locks i posted a message to you. I guess you missed it I'll post it again for you.
this is in response to you telling someone to ask matt questions.
Why are you jumping the chain of command?
Matt hired Paul Knopic to answer your questions. Is he not doing a good enough job getting back to you on answers?
Paul doesnt answer questions for me half of the time.
Anyone else have that problem?

Is a reverse split good for you?
Lets look and see...
Do you hold any stock now? Do you wish to lock in your losses?
No the reverse split is bad for you
Do you plan on purchasing shares soon and you're just checking things out?
The reverse split is good for you. Just make sure to buy after the split not before. Thats as long as you can deal with the likely dillution.
SUMMARY
Reverse split locks in losses for current shareholders.
Reverse spilt clears up share structure for new shareholders.
Reverse spilt is authorized to be dilluted up to 250million shares.
I want a lower reverse split ratio and I want less shares on the market. If matt needs more money along the way well vote and see what happens then.
Lets vote no and fight for a better deal.
By the way folks
I love the way I hear people speaking their minds about whats going on. I truly truly love you all.
Keep the momentum going....its healthy for shareholders.
Well give matt a little loss of sleep over it. Maybe a neck full of stress knots. Pressure him to do what is right.
Email paul knopick
Call cbai ask questions. Loosen people up on the phone...they are really friendly and will explain things to you.
We have to figure out if this is the best deal we can get....or if were just being tricked into printing more shares for them to wash back into their network of associates.
I made my vote 2 or 3 days ago.
Well ....Matt took 4 years and borrowed 7 billion shares worth of common stock and still couldnt turn a profit.
Why is china's 8 cents on a buck a big deal. How many years does it take china to become successful enough for 8 percent to mean big money.
thats if it all goes through. Someone could sweep down and swoop us up on the cheap to pay the debt.
Why liquidate a company when you can just run it better.
thats my take.
China doesnt mean a whole lot to us until they are pumping enough revenue to make our what, 10 percent? We could be bankrupt by then. In fact I just viewed the rs video again...
Here is what I see...
He tells us the truth when he speaks of his meetings with stratigic investors. He explains that the common response is fix your cap structure.
When he speaks of going cash flow positive he's not telling the whole truth. The whole truth would include that were running out of money and we dont make enough to support our many expansions. In fact all we've done is build a jenga tower based of the same losing principal. NO BIG BANKS WANT OUR BUSINESS! So well just take from every little sucker bank that we can beg for a chance.
One check at a time fellas. This vote is the second of a series of steps to fix the problem in time. This is not a last ditch effort just like 500/1 quickly turned into 100/1.
There will be more negotiations if you demand negoiations...dont forget that. We have the power to negoiate with our board for what we think is fair.
The problem is unity. Together have the power but alone we are nothing. CBAI is praying that we dont get tough again.
We got them from 500 to 100. Lets not be WALKED ON.
Anyone who bought over the last year is going to pay for this. Im assuming that would be most of us. This is our chance to fight. Let them go bankrupt...someone will buy us out in a heart beat and youll just be worth what you are worth today.
Win win situation really. Cant hold through the split cause youll be locked in at as much as 70-80 percent loss.
New investors will be dilluted slowly until the air we bought runs out and we choke again...
Unless of course Matt is knocked over with a feather from an angel who granted him 3 wishes.
RESPECTFULLY Yours
yeah but to get to that huge market cap you dont start with billions of shares you foward spit up to it as the company grows.
show me a company that started with several billions of shares ...uplisted to a major exchange with those shares and continued to grow.
Banks wont give him any more money. That is a fact that keeps being repeated by matt. What is the answer to that? Reverse split and dillute the share for whatever reason "corporate needs" and run it back up to max.
I think were trying to stay alive. I think were going to go bankrupt if we dont split. Thats the sad truth.
Banks wont lend money to allow us to grow....so he'll ask in the form of a vote if he can have more money.
Horrible thing to do to us. Why is this able to happen? Too many blind followers giving their loyalty to a young inexperienced CEO that is living a good life on your investment money. I am one of them. I made a mistake buying.
Matt walks away from a coprorate disaster without losing a dime of his own. He has everything to gain and nothing to lose.
Im still not sure why you trust a stranger with your money without questioning him.
What has Schissler done to gain your trust? Maybe trust is given too easily these days.
Stop justifying a horrible situation by feeling matt is going to do the right thing by the common shareholder.
Not happening.
Ill be watching to see how many shares matt pays himself and his wife this year. Dont forget that was part of the reason for having 250m shares.
Dont be used for an ATM. How much has matt done for the shareholder this far? Didnt do anything for me but suck money out of my acccount. Were about to get sucked again. Wash rinse repeat.
Banks wont give us money matt says...so well just take it from you after this silly little vote is out of the way.
HI matt. Hope you're reading...you're not making me happy.
you would sell at the best market price above .02 at the time of the transaction.
lol ccel buys us out of our debt and we get nothing.
Link most audacious CEO award and I dont mean that in a good way.
listen to the choice of words...
listen how some words are a lack of anything good to say and other are just fluff.
I listened to the March 3 radio interview about the 1 for 100 news [url][/url][tag]
How do you feel about that?
Is the CEO's comepensation package too big?
Is he paying himself a multimillion dollar corporation salary on a debt loaded donkey headed into the mountains of afghanistan?
Is matt really just a small business owner with a salary that got ahead of his business?
Are you getting your 300+ dollars worth of leadership from MR and MRS Schissler?
Double talker is Matt.
One minute he looks trustworthy the next he makes you feel like youre getting swindled.
Hes a PR machine. He thinks he's getting over on everyone. Everyone that doesnt matter that is.
If the common sharesholder doesnt matter what do we have left?
A prayer that he pulls this together over the next couple years and gets us some cash in the bank. We are left with a prayer.
In the meantime, the american economy is getting worse and the rich are getting richer. Dont forget Matt and his wife both making over 160k a year on my dime. Not that 300 a year makes you rich but I'll take upper middle class as a runner up for a not so successful business.
I have a question for you sunfun?
Why are presenting a one time only "or forever hold your peace" opportunity to ask the ceo questions?
wow over 100m warrants at 1/10th of a penny over the next several years?
Sounds like an amazing deal on top of doubling the interest to 12% if we dont maintain 30k value of market volume daily.
Who's Matt's sweetheart over in this Illinois LLC?
Unless were that desperate. Cant be desperate...why would a desperate CEO buy more junk when his cash is run out?
Sounds like we're getting taken for a ride again.
What happend to the Letter of Intent to purchase CCEL DE Mexico?
Looks like it expired early March and there was no mention of it.
Our opportunity to do all those great things have slipped away without mention.
Was matt refused money on loan until the restructure?
We're in court.
We didnt buy ccel de mex
Our stock price took a dump
We are getting ready to RS
Walks like a duck...looks like a duck....must be a....?
When something smells fishy, its usually spoiled.
Just saying
In the military,
you will never see an officer or a non commissioned offier eat a meal until his privates eat first. THe higher the rank the further on down the chow line you go.
You take care of the troops because that is your job.
In this case this is not the military and matt is no NCO. He is not required to have that mindset nor does he know what it takes to be a good leader with a good set of values.
Or does he know and just do what is best for him....we call that corporate america.
We used to see mom and pop business, but we see what happens to them. They get run over. America has been a giant elaborate money maker for anyone willings to deceive others since the revolution was going on.
I have an answer to that.
Its because we need more money and restructering allows us to
A. Become attractive to new giant investors of interest.
B. Increase the shares again without looking rediculous.
C. Sell more shares for more cash.
D. Create a market for huge share owners (people compensated for something in shares) Matt, his wife, directors, lenders, other consultants, new business partners.
Hes turning the money mill and growing new money without breaking the law. Some of that money is for the company growth, some goes to paying bills, and dont forget that amount that goes into pockets of CBAI officers in the form of salary and stock options.
Everyone is making out great at CBAI. How are the stock holders making out over the last several years?
Were all waiting for the decade when regenerative medicine is something like in the movies. In the mean time. Everyone over at CBAI is making a beautiful salary and collecting shares.
Perhaps im just not that patient to wait another decade for what would be a small return when directors are locking in deals in their favor.
How many people here actually have contact with the company?
To ask if the CEO cares about the shareholders is kind of a silly survey question to me.
It reminds me of passing a note in school..do you like me check yes or no...
I would rather see specific questions like...
Is the reverse split in the interst of the the small retail investor? (no its not) Its in the interest of the company.
Who is the company? Well the company is not me and you. the company is preferred shareholders...board members..directors..all the people that represent the company.
The people that are paid for their time in shares are the "company"
I think there is a problem with perspective here. You and I matter only because of legal obligation. We would not be considered if the law didnt say we were entitled to a vote.
The CEO's goal is always going to be to create sustainable wealth for his family and friends though his company. Your wealth does not matter. Deals are not made to make you happy. They are made to keep you at bay so you dont create too many problems for the CEO and his friends.
You were lied to. Period. Over and over matt stated that a RS s just one option and it didnt need to come to that.
Deceit is not always a bold faced lie. Deceit in our case comes in the form of putting us off till later. TIll later...the future...the growth..the profits....till later.
Dont forget that elaborate financial planning is set up to give someone an advantage. You and I are not on the winning side.
I hear you guys say I will trust until I know otherwise?? Seriously? You trust strangers with your cash because why?
Here is what is owed to us.
SEC filings.
Public Releases.
Voting.
To ask if the CEO cares about his sharesholders is a silly question. Shareholders to Matt is his wife, his directors, his lendors. Again, the question is...
Does the small retail investor lay on the mind of Matthew Schissler at night when he goes to bed?
I vote no
Of course I dont have proof. This is a conversation meant to spark further conversation.
We must continue to think of all angles. We cannot throw an idea out now because there is no current proof.
We must take note of everything! Collect speaking points for future use. What if we all end up in a class action suit against someone and were accusing them of stealing from us..
Would it be a good idea to visit that possibility?
My point is simple. The deals presented to us dont make sense for us and there is a motive behind it. What is that motive?
Financials arent easy to understand for a reason. They hide truth to people who arent skilled in that area. Thats why a good accountant is the best assest you can have...
are you serious? How can anything purchased now be a good investment for next year?
Why not wait till next year?
Even the most recent fair market share value was .0042 and that has fallen like a heavy rock.
Was it good to invest wamu before it went bankrupt? after the dust settles those late investors are still very much late.
mofo
Why do you think this was a response to shareholder concerns?
I was thinking that it was planned all along. They get to play the stock and make money as it fluctuates. How you do suddenly reconsider careful calculations?
What changed?
im not sure what laughing suggests but good luck with your new shares.
There are no technicals.
It lost its pulse a year ago.
I guess youre full up to your gills too.
So it was a quiet thing? Does that not require some sort of public disclosure?
A filing?
A letter?
A PR?
Dianne,
What are some of your thoughts about whats going on?
I personally cant help but go from feeling disappointed to pissed off.
where do you come up with this delisted crap? nasdaq.com has nothing about it.
I know that the highly speculative investment disclaimer pretty much makes anything legal. Matt gets to say...we tried...and we warned you. Sorry =o)
The CEO makes statements that stock price is really taking a beating. He likes to remove the responsibily of a good stock price from himself. Im not sure who would be more responsible than the CEO for a stock price.
So, the stock price is taking a beating....but the company is doing well?
He's made no claims of manipulation like other CEO's will talk about in a letter...must just be a crappy company.
The timetable is constantly extended with airy general talk about the future.
Matt just took the seat of that Nevada whatever commission. Looks like our Matt Schissler is a polititian.
Rememer his words in the reverse split explaination video. Watch it again and listen for a list of investors that matter then the last mention of income for the company is ...."and even the small retail investor." an after thought.
Oh and all those sniffles. This dude is half full of it. I know it...you know it...
We did it because we wanted to make our lives better with a couple bucks. The profit I was hoping to make just paid his and his wifes salary this year. And then some.
cant say Ive heard of a case being dismissed and postponed at the same time.
Someone must have had their fingers crossed behind their backs
A reverse spilt may be in the best interest of the company.
A reverse split is not in the best interest of the stock holder.
We get to lock in all of our losses.
Wait till your brokerage account shows a new value and a new amount of shares at a fraction of what you actually paid.
Before a RS at least I could see exactly how much I lost.
After a RS you're gonna just see the new value.
New investors after a RS will see a 5 bagger before you see your money break even.
We bought the hype from our CEO....along with that we get bags to hold.
Thats pretty funny bro. =o) I like your comment and am hating this stock.
Looks like CBAI was a once a year flipper like we saw and didnt want to believe.
Matt is only halfway honest with us.
Our government's policy is creating the appearance of transparency. Matt Schissler has almost mastered the appearance of transparency.
Facebook...
Invitations to tour...
Constant press releases...
Fireside video chats...
Bottom line is him and his wife live very comfortably off their salaries that were funded by me and you.
Matt said something like....after speaking with several banks and lenders and investors...they all said you have to address your outstanding shares before we are interested.
Is this new? Did we not feel this way for years?
Why was our CEO publicly trying to smooth over the idea of a RS saying there are many many options...that is one of them and he even stated that a RS is not what investers want to hear.
Hes a darn liar. Make fun of my comments about reading his expressions and body language when he communicates to the shareholder....
Im right and we all know it. Hopefully the sector will pick up and rescue my $15,000 investment in the next 5 years.
Matt Schissler is a liar and I welcome your comments.
