Yeah, I know, but you have to allow for the possibility. LOL
Rocky, here's your chance to say something meaningful and tell me what you really think:
What business is CVIA in?
How do explain a $40 million revenue company not making money for its CVIA parent?
Is this your idea of a meaningful post?
If so, what's the meaning?
Rocky, what business is CVIA in?
How do explain a $40 million revenue company not making money for its CVIA parent?
Take the hook out of your mouth before you post.
What does the company you're invested in do as a business?
I'll bet you can't even answer this most basic of questions.
And Pete, why is this lie aloud to be posted here?
This is the kind of post that should be deleted immediately.
I can prove that johnson is a liar, yet he cannot prove what he is saying.
Get this crap off of here immediately, please.
You're always assuming something johnson; and you're always wrong.
Your constant stream of inaccuracies and lies is not appreciated by those who read your ill-informed posts.
Given all the misleading and inaccurate statements you've made here, there SEC might interpret you as a Tuorto puppet who is paid to hype this stock.
You've never been right about anything pertaining to this company, including my role and my having bought xxx,xxx shares when Cheryl Mabie was CEO.
How about you dude, how many shares did you own 8 years ago?
Why don't you just SHUT UP about what you don't know about?
Bill Tuorto told me that we shareholders have not been hurt or lost anything because the stock price is near or at the same price as when they took over?
Do you agree with this idiotic premise?
Of course Bill never has much to say about liquidity in the stock and what would happen if you tried to sell 200,000 at that near or same price that management has so incredibly safeguarded in the shareholders' behalf.
It's about liquidity, Bill, not getting a pink sheet quote for five cents on volume of a thousand shares.
Do you understand that, Bill?
We know johnson doesn't, but do you Bill?
johnson, you've got over 74 million shares in the float. Each ten cent move is an increase of $7.4 million in market cap value.
It takes real money to move a stock up...even if it's hypesters and stock manipulators.
Why would real money get so excited about a pink sheet stock?
Who's paying attention?
You really think Jezco is going to save the day? LOL
You guys, including Bill Tuorto should just make it happen instead of flapping your gums about all the great things you do for us shareholders. JUST DO IT, AND SHUT UP!
johnson, no one believes what you say. Go peddle your BS on Raging Bulloney.
We not only have all the cheap shares we want, but more than enough of the expensive ones as well.
Rena, on RB they smoke "blow." :)
You're too much of a lady to probably know what I'm referring to, but it's akin to the stuff that Bill Clinton never inhaled. LOL
In case some you miss the point, the SEC is quite agreeable to pursue complaints against BB and pink sheet stocks.
This is what happens to bulletin board companies who commit fraud.
In fact it happened TODAY.

SEC files litigation today:
Securities and Exchange Commission
Litigation Release No. 18586 / February 23, 2004
Securities and Exchange Commission v. Aqua Vie Beverage Corp., Thomas J. Gillespie, and Joseph J. Wozniak
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, Civil Action No. 04 Civ. 1528(JK), Docket No. 2:03CV00914DAK (USDC, D.Ut.)
The Securities and Exchange Commission today filed a civil injunctive action against Aqua Vie Beverage Corp., a beverage company based in Ketchum, Idaho, and its CEO, Thomas Gillespie, as well as a major shareholder, Joseph Wozniak. This action follows the Commission's 10-day suspension of trading in Aqua Vie common stock on May 2, 2003. Aqua Vie stock formerly traded on the over-the-counter bulletin board.
The Commission's complaint alleges that Aqua Vie and Gillespie fraudulently promoted Aqua Vie's common stock from by means of millions of one-page tout sheets faxed to homes and businesses. Aqua Vie, Gillespie and Wozniak also offered millions of shares of Aqua Vie's common stock publicly, without any registration statement in effect as to the offering. The unregistered public offering included 2,750,000 shares offered and sold from November 2002 through May 2003 by a company that distributed Aqua Vie's faxes, Fax.com, Inc. According to the complaint, the defendants dumped millions of shares into a market reflecting demand created by the fax promotion, without disclosing the increase in the public float of Aqua Vie securities. The unregistered offer and sale effectively kept afloat a struggling company that was far more successful at marketing its stock than its only product, bottled water.
According to the complaint, the tout sheets presented Aqua Vie, a boutique bottled-water company, in an unrealistically favorable light, projecting high revenues and stock prices, and excluding a dismal history of sales and the expected termination of Aqua Vie's bottling agreement.
Neither Aqua Vie's Commission filings nor the tout sheets disclosed the company's substantial and prolonged unregistered offering of securities, nor its arrangement with Fax.com. Further, Aqua Vie has not publicly filed any current financial information with the Commission. The company is delinquent with respect to its most recent Form 10-K and its Form 10-Q for its quarter ended October 31, 2003.
The Complaint alleges that Aqua Vie and Gillespie violated the anti-fraud provisions and certification provisions, and that they, along with Wozniak, violated the registration requirement.
In addition, Aqua Vie and Gillespie are alleged to have violated the reporting requirements (for the late filing of the company's annual and quarterly report).
The Commission is seeking injunctive relief with respect to all three defendants; disgorgement, pre-judgment interest, civil monetary penalties and penny-stock bar from Gillespie and Wozniak, and with respect to Gillespie only, a penny-stock bar.
johnson, only to people who can't
read
the writing on the wall.
Bill,
As to that other topic, let me think about that..."Agreed?"
But more to the point Rocky, what it tells me is that this is a company that has no real intention of running a real business and that is a betrayal of their public and fiduciary trust, and that is against the law. JMO
So, think what you want. The offer was real, and so is my reaction. Like I said, it wasn't that they said NO, it was the 'bad faith' way they did not even try to ascertain if this was a productive avenue for them to pursue as a possible financing vehicle to achieve what they claim to want to achieve: business success and increasing shareholder value.
That's their mandate. They did not even begin to pursue that mandate by pursuing a dialogue with me and my source. If they thought it was not good for them, they have a perfect right to say thanks, but no thanks. I'd at least respect them for that.
If you think they acted in your best interest, I strongly disagree.
That's funny, I thought your name was Rocky.
Bill,
The top 100 recoveries brought in a total of $8.2 billion -- more than 65 percent of the $12 billion recovered in total under the "XXX XXXX Act" since it was amended in 1986.
The top two settlements were with HCA, the Tennessee based health care corporation -- for $731 million in December 2000 and for $631 million in June 2003.
Rounding out the top five settlements were TAP Pharmaceuticals for $559 million in October 2001, Abbott Labs for $400 million in July 2003, and Fresenius Medical Care for $385 million in January 2000.
Whistleblowers are entitled to 15 percent to 25 percent of the funds the government recovers as a result of the lawsuit when the government joins the case.
But, you'll have to get in line behind me. LOL
The answers to your other two questions are: Yes and Yes.
DEATH PENALTY SHOULD BE APPLIED TO CORPORATIONS THAT DEFRAUD GOVERNMENT, REPORT RECOMMENDS
The death penalty should be applied to corporations convicted of defrauding the federal government, according to a report released today.
The report ranks the top...settlements by amount of the settlement.
It also lists the whistleblower's share of the settlement -- if known.
The report calls on federal officials to seriously consider applying the corporate death penalty to companies convicted of defrauding the federal government.
"The federal government has the authority to prohibit corporations convicted of serious crimes...This debarment or exclusion authority is considered the equivalent of the death penalty...would effectively put them out of business."
The qui tam provisions...allow private individuals to sue companies that defraud the federal government and recover damages and penalties on the government's behalf.
Whistleblowers are entitled to 15 percent to 25 percent of the funds the government recovers as a result of the lawsuit when the government joins the case.
In each case...whistleblowers raked in more than $1 million.
Eight of the top ten settlements involved criminal plea agreements by the companies.
Willy, why wouldn't you want to be me?
What's wrong with being a leader on spam bashing?
Oh, I forgot, you're a spammer. LOL
And you and that great management team can't raise the price of the stock to $.79.
I prove myself where I have to...in the marketplace.
You and this management team do not.
Case closed.
HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa!!!!!!!!!!1
You are hilarious, eugene. When does your tv series start?
No. What kind of answer is that to the question that was asked?
Did you bump your head on the legend in your mind?
I think we should create a reality tv series based on you and your delusional belief in CVIA's management. I'd tune in every week that's for sure.
That's because you are a legend in your own mind.
To prove that what you say is true has merit.
To prove that you are not a chicken, and have the strength of your conviction.
I'm glad that you, johnson, can agree with me that Bill T. has misguided you?
It will not...
because it already has not.
You were wrong again, or were you lying?
About a nickel...that's less than a nickel isn't it?
You said it was going to be in double digits.
Either you are the worst stock forecaster or a liar; which is it?
johnson, do you always react this poorly to a compliment?
Get yourself a book on how to buck up your self-esteem; life's too short to go around with such a low opinion of yourself.
As usual, johnson, you give yourself too much credit for doing something when you do nothing at all.
You are a legend in your mind. LOL
It's management that you should absolutely furious with, not anyone on this board.
johnson, why doesn't it bother you that this management team has diluted, IMO in a malfeasant manner, the value of your investment?
Who's hurt you more; Who's wrongfully taken more money out of your pocket: Me or management?
johnson, make the investment case for putting money into CVIA right now?
When I said that the stock price would be capped at $.125 after that dumb PR came out about EESV putting $250K into CVIA...yeah, like EESV has any real money...who has been more right about stock price; you or me?
Answer: Me.
johnson, why hasn't one thing that Bill Tuorto told you would happen with this company actually happen?
johnson, why is this stock still on the pinks?
Johnson, are you intentionally trying deceive investors of CVIA and/or people who read this IHub board?
johnson, why hasn't the stock price done what you said it would do?
