Test
Hi 'jagnew22'.
Seems like you're a practical and realistic type of guy when it comes to ETNL/EI:)
As first impressions go, I'll just call you an "Open Believer":) If you're a "Trekkie", please advise:)
Jag, IMHO, it's a pretty easy call on my investment in ETNL and what needs to be done at this point.
Yes, uplist needs to be completed to be able to get out of the so-called "quiet time" which seems to have been going on for years now, but this needs to be finished:)
"SEEING IS BELIEVING!!" Plain and simple Jag!! If you have done your DD, you know how much Free Publicity this company has gotten and how it keeps coming at No Cost to EI:)
You can only beat a dead horse so long Jag, and it is obvious that the Investor Community sees this, or doesn't??
Pictures in a Catalogue sold me very few Monuments:( It was all about the DISPLAY models, and then some catalogue pictures may have helped out with minor details:) "SEEING IS BELIEVING!!"
The Free Advertising, the cool pictures of EI's products on a Website, are not making it, and understandably so:) 100's of Distributor's for EI's products?? Doesn't mean a thing unless you can sell these funerary widgets!!
'jagnew22', The "set it, and forget it" phrase is what I have done with my Investment in ETNL.
"DISPLAYING EM', and SELLING EM'", is how we are going to make money in ETNL and see the pps rise to respectable levels:)
You think I'm kidding when I talk of the SuberBee Express, or the Martian Mobile dropping off Caskets and Urns to FH's?? Not in the least:) "Seeing is Believing":)
Star Trek?? I'd spend the $$ to be at every Major Convention that they have with a Star Trek Casket and Urn:)
More bottom-lines Jag,
Get the necessary Capital, manufacture the Caskets and Urns(and pay for them net 30 days), and then make your "Road Trips" around the Country dropping these babies off with a net bill in 30 days:)
Plain and very simple, and I'm sticking to it:)
Yours Always in Eternal Faith,
Heppie:)
Nice try 'mid', but please don't lower me to the Kool-Aid gang. You should know me better that this:)
No certainties in any stock like this 'mid'. No certainty that the MLB license will be renewed. No certainty that the sun will come up tomorrow:)
IMHO 'mid', the meat is coming. Slim pickins to date, and I won't dispute this:)
You have your bottom lines 'mid', and I have mine, and that's why I pay the $90. investment to speak my peace on IHub, and you don't:)
Keep your credibility in check 'mid'. You don't want to lose another EI Faithful do you?? I'm sure that's an affirmative:)
p.s. By the way, I'm forever in the Sam Summer "camp":)
That's why you've gotta believe in the "dream" right now 'mid':)
The others "will be" players very soon:)
You disappoint me 'mid':)
"Rights" for Licenses?? Whether they're selling or not, companies will pay big bucks for the rights!!:)
p.s. 'mid'. Of course you didn't disappoint me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)
'FASTFINGERS',
Every investment that I am in like EI that is truly "LONG" in nature, is an investment that I expect I could lose 100%. Of course there comes a point in a stock when you may question to "get out" or not. That's why all stocks in all markets have risk and are a gamble.
To be down 85-95% on your investment in ETNL now, would be a very poor decision for even the most tentative of "longs" to bail now, IMHO.
Sorry not to be one of the "many more who feel the same way but they won't admit it":)
Most dreams 'FF" always have their share of nightmares attached:) No foolish hoping on this end with my hard earned money in ETNL.
Double 0's by next week?? Sorry, that won't do the trick:) I thought it was the "Trip 0's" that we were destined for??!!:)
Hang in there:)
Who would've believed it, watching Trekkies 2 on Direct TV "SHOe" channel 537:)
Beam me up Scottie!!:)
Agree wholeheartedly with you DH, but also you must not publish the "EI Doom's Day Memoirs" yet:)
IMHO, 1st Q will be better than 2nd Q 2009 because of all this "interim time/quiet time", with the uplist. We're still in transition whether you like it or not with this start-up funerary company.
Uplist, get the capital necessary to "display" the crap out of EI's products, dazzle the NFDA in Boston in October, and we will be well on our way starting 1st Q of 2010. Once we get their products truly on display, we won't know what the bread and butter will be.
I don't think the uplist will do much for the stock either. But what I do know is EI Corporate will be back to the real business of selling these funerary widgets.
No more excuses will be tolerated. They have the foundation built, and a good one with their products. Get the Capital and Go Crazy!!
Q and Q growth will follow.
:)
Just looking for some "summer sabbatical scenarios" before I go on vacation:)
Just a little FYI from me on my business when it came to "displaying" what I would call niche products like EI's. You had to have one or two of them on display, period. Even if they were a little bit "pricey" they always seemed to sell, because the $$ people would always gravitate to them, no matter what the economy was:) As soon as I sold one, and usually right off of the display, I would order a new one in its place and start over. The low end products, the high end products, and the bread and butter in the middle were always the inventory that kept the business growing. Lettering for me was a Huge business which I compare to the AKC, Cat Fanciers, and Medallions that EI will put out. Went to sandblast school one winter because there was nothing better to do in wintery NH, but came back with my diploma, and said-"too much like dirty work", and just jacked up my "margin" a little bit more to keep me happy!!:) I was still the lowest price in the area:)
So where in my hermetically sealed brain do I see EI as a "worst case scenario"?? Answer?? Is simply being "Bought Out" by one of the bigger funeral industry moguls, where I will take my $$ from the buy-out, and dump that and a lot more into that companies stock!! This concept, fad, niche idea, whatever you want to call it is not going to go away, IMHO, of course, and you will have several Big funerary companies wanting in on a piece of the action. Chump change you might say for an offer?? EI Corporate may be crazy as all get out, but not stupid enough to do anything short term. They'll ride the uplist, get a few million dollars in capital, and then when the timing looks right, will take the money and run!!:) Worst case scenario!! And I'm sticking to it:)
My story in the business is plain and simple. My letterer(and competitor) had a big business in the city. He would letter all of my display memorials and do all of my cemetery lettering. We had a good relationship. Every year he would ask me if I wanted to "sell out" to him. I'd always laugh, say he couldn't afford it, and decline.
One year, and when business was at an all time "high", he asked me, and I said YES!!!! He nearly died on the spot:) Buy low, sell high?? Bingo!! Had the offer of a lifetime and the quality time to watch my three children grow up. The USPS picked up the slack for the Sam Summer:) Sold the business in 1990. Sold the Real Estate in 2000(again at an all-time high) and life has been good ever since:)
Best Case Scenario- March 6, 2012:)
Yours Always in Eternal Faith,
Heppie:)
"L"- percocet typo. Just want to make sure you were awake, and No, it is not the new OTCBB symbol!!:)
Sorry my glass always seems to be half full when talking about Eternal Image:))
For the doubters out there, and there should be a lot with all of the goings on the past few years, I don't see EI going under in the near future due to their ability to miss time lines:) You better do a lot of faithful praying on this one, because it probably won't happen in your life time:) Even if EI Corporate PR'd that they were going belly-up, I'd probably be loading up on cheap shares!!:) A much better hunch than going six feet under!!:))
Can you tell that the Father's Day Percocet is in full force NH??!!:)
All bets are off for me until March 6, 2012. I've got the luxury of that date and maybe the possibility of the SuperBee and the Martian Mobile to have made a couple of road trips around the country dropping off a few EI Caskets and Urns:))
Why do people have to be so "impatient" when it comes to the "Eternal Image" of things?? May just take a bit longer than you thought to see these funerary widgets "up close and personal":))
So let's change the subject for just a bit!! Too much serious stuff being debated about ETN as of late:)
As we have all gone in "flip flop mode" over the "be all and end all" of Eternal Image Licenses, todays percocet choice is EUROPEAN SOCCER, or just soccer in general, and I'm sticking to it.
Truly, think about it folks!! Soccer, and the passion around the world:) The World Cup coming up in 2010!! Soccer will give EI the best bang for their buck, IMHO, with the marketing and advertising of their Caskets and Urns.
Sorry Bee and others, the NFL, would be a distant second:)
Yours Always in Father's Day Faith,
Heppie:)
I have taken care of the wife and children with their own shares also:)
Getting necessary capital/line of credit Brendan was never one of my worries when it comes to Marketing and Advertising EI's products. The entity that steps up to the plate after the up-list, IMHO, has the opportunity to make a very profitable investment:)
The question that remains about EI Corporate realizing that another disaster, like the one last year, would be the final straw, "is whether or not EI Corporate really cares about their shareholders!:)" We should all know by the end of this year.
Yours Always in Eternal Faith,
Heppie:)
Hi Brendan,
"Deception" is in the eye of the Beholder!:) Eternal Image is a great story and a great concept Brendan. The funerary industry is a tough animal to teach old dogs new tricks. I liken EI's concept to the "etching", double outlined lettering, and the "portrait", in the memorial business that came in my hay day:) All three were a "niche" market, but when you saw it on Display, the money seemed to pour out of the customer:) And this was well after the funeral ceremony had taken place.
Eternal Image's products are so much easier to market. It's a split decision, a moment of passion, on the loved ones to make their decision.
Put EI's products in the FH display rooms and they will sell!! The money will be there, and the decision will be spontaneous. This is the Beauty of the choices that Eternal Image has to offer.
When we went to pick out my mother and fathers Urns back in 2005("preneed) the Display area down in the funeral home was tastefully done, but not the selection that I would have liked. Anything today that is away from the "norm", "not" the plain old same old, has a definite edge for a positive choice from the loved one. It can only be one person, that one person in the family, that "wants EI", that will influence the sale at that time:) It happens time and time again as my friendly funeral directors have passed on to me:)
Get the needed capital, get EI's products on Display in as many FH's as you can, and they will sell, plain and simple. You can talk about it all you want, get as much free publicity as you can, put on the best NFDA booth in the world, "but", unless the FH and FD's put EI's products on the showroom floor for people to see, it is obvious that they will not sell:)
All this being said Brendan, I think EI has a great foundation to build their niche on in this funeral industry. The "timing" is right:)
It will take a while for EI to go away, no matter how badly they screw up at EI Corporate. The industry has accepted Eternal Image's products.
The NFDA in Boston is huge, and I will be saying this every year leading up to October and the biggest event in the Funerary business. Spending money to make money?? You've got to have a decent booth at the NFDA for products such as EI's to make it in this industry.
All of my comments Brendan in this post of course are- "IMHO":)
Yours Always in Eternal Faith,
Heppie;)
Vatican urn was at the NFDA in Orlando. Think they were even "redesigning" it at that point. Seemed to be too tall(design patents pending), or something like that. The "tweeking" was ongoing:)
Much work to be done by EI Corporate:)
Brendan,
Another R/S before a NASDAQ, AMEX, OR NYSE, uplist, and you won't see me posting ever again on this Board:)
If there isn't "other" capital out there for EI to partner with, they may as well pack it in:)
It's interesting 'fivestar'. I don't know how many people in the funerary business understand the growing pains that EI, the company, is going through.
Maybe we will find out in Boston this October at the NFDA, but there was no evidence in Orlando, that Eternal Image, the company didn't have attractive value. I am hoping in the future 'fivestar' that a lot of the deep pockets that have been discussed when ETNL uplists, comes from the good old boys in the funerary businesss. There is a lot of $$ to be tapped into here. A HUGE amount of money!! The biggest mistake that EI made in Orlando was not having the Gator Casket. Not that this will bury the companies hopes and dreams in the future:)
Unless people out there can come up with a reasonable facsimile, the Boston College, CLC Casket, "must" be at the NFDA in Boston. This would be a "deal breaker" for me, and I have told Nick this:)
A big question I have 'fivestar' for EI is- "Where the hell is your Bread and Butter License?? That being the Vatican Library Collection. This is where it all starts for the general public and I for one want to know where the Caskets and Urns are. As far as I know, they haven't sold any!!
What's on the top of the list now?? MLB Urns and MLB Caskets:) This will not get us anywhere short term:) It's variety, diversity, that will catapult EI's products to the forefront of the funerary business!
And what about LFM and his business?? Cat's and dogs. AKC and the Cat Fanciers?? I've only been waiting x amount of light years for my mother-in-laws "Holly", Cat Fanciers urn!! And Lurker "still" waits:) A gigantic market that needs to get on-line!!
Your comments of "they have little revenues", "HUGE losses/expenses" and other assets of little to NO value??" All True:)
I've always called it as I've seen it 'fivestar', and now is no exception after seeing the 10K. The 10Q doesn't really matter much to me. The damage has already been done by EI Corporate by not integrating the 10Q into the 10K, and releasing the whole ball of wax together. Another blunder by EI??:)
I still believe, it ain't broke enough not to be fixed. And I'm sticking to it:)
Yours Always in Eternal Faith,
Heppie:)
'fivestar',
Tough to dispute your post. A lesson well learned in the land of Pink stocks, no-matter how good it looks?? Looks like it at this point in time:)
So all us Faithful/ "gluttons for punishment" are down 75-90%. So what's a person to do?? We've just let it "ride" to long 'fivestar":) Kind of like my 401K. If I had only known nine months ago where it would be now. I could have retired then:)
HInd sights 20/20. Would ofs, could ofs, should ofs, etc. etc.. Isn't this the way it is in the Pinks?? We all take risks in Pinkyland, Big Risks!! My decisions are all mine, all of the time:)
I have said before in PM's to people, that if this was just a big "scam" for all of the shareholders of ETNL to be suckered into over the last few years, that I would find it very , very hard, to sleep at night in Farmington Hills. I know there are people out there like this, but I for one, don't see Clint, Donna, and Nick as being in this category:) I haven't met Clint, but have talked to the one who has brought him into this world, and I have the faith that they are genuine in their efforts to market and sell these branded name funerary products. I have been the closest to Nick with communication since the NFDA in Orlando, and feel he will go to the end of the world to make this company happen. I have met Nick Jr. at the NFDA and cornered him numerous times in doing my DD about EI. If I was in Nick's shoes, I would hope one of my sons would be just like Nick Jr. Nick and his family have invested their life in EI. Yes, I think David D's commitment to his country has put a huge strain on EI's development and its maturing process in the funeral industry. David is the type of guy we want marketing EI's products. We should all be proud of the commitment that David is giving to his country. I could never, ever, see a person like David DeAvila taking us for a "ride"!!:) A true professional, in my humblest opinion.
The company may be "broke"(from the 10K) 'fivestar", But IMHO, I think it can be fixed!! Sales may be dismal, But they are Sales:) Losses are huge 'fivestar", But they are losses from selling Real funerary products that FH's, and FD's are buying.
My credibility speaks for itself 'fivestar" in the funerary business. I am where I am because of it. I invested a bunch of $$ because I thought it was an ingenious concept that had a great chance in the funerary business. Then I spent a week of my time to make sure that this company called Eternal Image was not just another scam, and went down to the NFDA(the largest convention in the funerary business) in Orlando to check it out for myself and see how the industry felt about EI's products. I got very little negative feedback about Eternal Image and what they were looking to do. The funerary industry 'fivestar" is one of the most "conservative" industries in the world, But they are now, legitimately looking for more choices, because that is what their clients are looking for:)
So with all of this said, the 10K out, and the 10Q on its way, what would I like to happen?? I don't want EI to give up, and I don't think they will. I don't want EI Corporate to throw in the towel and take some small buy-out from a Batesville, Aurora, or York. I don't think this was ever Clint's intent.
The fat lady hasn't sung on this one 'fivestar', and like I have said, you are Right in your information in this post:)
There is "still" so much money out there 'fivestar" in this world, that I feel once ETNL is uplisted to the OTCBB, that there will be someone with let's say 5 Million dollars that will see Eternal Image and its true potential, throw the 5 Mill. at the wall and see if it "sticks", simply because they can, and won't bat an eyelash at the investment:)
The one comment that you have definitely wrong, is that EI "has nothing to sell":)
They have a lot to sell, manufacturers to make them, distributors to distribute them, But as of right now, they need much more advertising and marketing $$ to sell them:)
As far as MLB not being interested in renewing EI's license for several years?? MLB is getting tremendous Free Advertising also with this one, so why give it up!!
And again, those "Real Money Companies" not wanting anything to do with what EI is pushing?? Talk to Batesville, Aurora, or York, and they would scoff this little company up in a heart beat!!
All for now 'fivestar". We're not done with EI/ETNL yet:)
Yours Always in Eternal Faith,
Heppie:)
*Very close to "summer sabbatical":)*
Appreciate your input 'mid', and NO, I don't actually think that this company is being run by stockholders!!
It is well known 'mid' that Nick and Donna frequent this Board and keep up with the weekly banter:) They must think we might have something of importance to say:)
When we were in Orlando at the 2008 NFDA, EI Corporate was nice enough to invite us for a couple hours of Q&A as valued Shareholders of ETNL. I thought that was nice. When I was introduced to "many" people at the convention, I was introduced as an "Investor". I thought that was very professional.
'Mid', ETNL is still a penny stock. We are still a penny-board. I am looking to "Graduate" very soon to the OTCBB category.
I sure as hell hope that they are listening!!! It's a public company isn't it??
We've got a 28 year old entrepreneur who is trying to conquer this niche in the funerary industry, with help from his 50 year old mother, and 53 year old friend.
Reach out and touch some one. Today, it's Clint Mytych:)
Yours Always in Eternal Faith,
Heppie:)
plan4you,
""We as shareholders deserve to be rewarded for sustaining their lifestyle over the past couple of years. They have made mistakes and it has cost us."
These two sentences ring true for a lot of us. Judgment Day for EI Corporate is vastly approaching. We will know very, very soon if our Investments in ETNL are legitimate or not, with- The UPLIST. "RETIRE" necessary shares to straighten out the SS debacle. Secure necessary CAPITAL for EI to sell these products. Initiate the MARKETING and ADVERTISING "BLITZ" that needs to be done to further EI's niche in the funerary business.
I am putting myself in "their positions" 'plan4you', and I've got a plan that has been outlined somewhat:) Be pissed all you want(and I am too) but we have a problem here Houston that I think "still" can be FIXED!!
Bash all you want people, but this will not fix the problem:)
I don't know Basser how much a Conference Call would help. "They" need time right now to show us if they have a "plan". If they don't, no conference call or anything else is going to matter:)
Yours Always in Eternal Faith,
Heppie:)
Brendan,
I second this post. Very well said.
:)
I think Clint will be dealing with quite a few "foots" in the door-jam short term:)
You have my vote to speak on my behalf, as a serious Shareholder in ETNL, about the importance of the "retirement" of EI Corporate shares. It is obvious that they don't understand how this would benefit all involved:) No more BS with shares sounds good to me.
No talk of a R/S.
In my opinion, what comes next??
#1. Uplist to the OTCBB
#2. Secure Major Capital
#3. Market and Advertise
Don't think for one second that Heppie is a Happy Camper with the 10K:) I haven't sold one share of my stock in ETNL, and it is obvious with the last two days, which I sincerely see as "low volume" of trading, that most of the heavy hitters and Faithfuls of ETNL have not either!! This is small time trading.
All I know folks is that the funeral business in general has accepted the products of Eternal Image and feels the general public wants more choices when it comes to their funerary needs.
46 Caskets and a couple thousand Urns?? It's a start:) Eternal Image has Real Products that Real People have bought:)
Basser, "1912"?? 0-8!! I feel your pain:)
Yours Always in Eternal Faith,
Heppie:)
"A little Trouble??" 0-6!! The worst whooping since the beginning of time!!
Kind of like ETNL and the uplist?? You've got a little less than 100 games to turn it around:) Time is on your side for the time being.
Passionate fans and Passionate FD's that like to Gouge their customers to the tune of $6,000. a pop for an MLB Casket!!:)
The "clarification" that is needed is that you need to change your ETNL logo.
0-6?? You should be ashamed of yourself!!:)
No need to make any junkets to NY in October:)
Not the way I read this article at all HS:) No Clarification needed from Eternal Image at all!!
(7) Categories in the article. Arrested Development is one. Star Trek is another.
The two have nothing to do with each other:)
Thought this was more great Free Publicity for EI. Didn't see any Arrested Development Caskets in the article:)
So what do you think about a European Soccer License, or a Soccer License in general?? So I'm sitting in a pulmonologists office this morning and reading a magazine about the Soccer fanatics and the World Cup:) I looked at the date of the publication and it was written sometime in 2006!! Didn't really matter, because it was a good article. So what do you think?? I think that there are enough crazies out there to buy a few EI Caskets and Urns:) Didn't see anything in the article concerning Uplists, 10K's, 10Q's, etc. etc. Just a lot of passion about the sport of Soccer:)
I liked that:)
p.s. Remeire who??:)
Sorry 'Stock_Stalker',
I draw the line with my priorities with my Investments and SS. My sabbatical in the summer at the Lake is just that. Time stops:) Except the quality time that I take to smell all of the roses!!:)
Nick and I have talked many times. He knows what he has to do, But it is always helpful to reiterate the important facts of Advertising and Marketing. He does read these posts regularly:)
Last year at the NFDA in Orlando a handful of EI faithfuls got together on Tuesday after the end of the day with Donna, Nick, Gail and Dean Kelly from Waterloo(Owners), Tony Fifer(President and CEO) of Waterloo, Bee, Perk and his Wife, and myself. We had nine people at the table "breaking bread" and discussing what we could about Eternal Image:)
As I have said before, Boston is the "real coming out" for EI in a Major city!! We're talking the Boston Red Sox MLB Caskets and Urns, and the unveiling of the Boston College(CLC) Casket. This is of course if I get "my way" with BC:) I told Nick that we missed the boat on the Gators last year, and that in future NFDA's Eternal Image always needs to have the #1 college in the area on Display:) We shall see if Nick comes through on this one:)
'Stock_Stalker', that table of nine that we had last year needs to be 18, 27, 40 people at it this year!! We'll put as many tables together as we need!! I think it is very Important that the Investors of ETNL that make the effort to attend an NFDA get a chance to sit down with EI Corporate and converse. I enjoyed the time spent last year and look forward to it again this year:)
Yours Always in Eternal Faith,
Heppie:)
Get me while you can:) My "SS/Summer Sabbatical" is quickly approaching:) Big Wedding today. June is graduation Party Time at the Lake, and July, well, #1` son coming up from Orlando to Party for a week, enough said:)
Bottom Line for EI. Your time has come to pick out that Casket or Urn for a loved one and you find yourselves in the Display Room of your local FH.
To me, most of the Caskets look relatively the same, with some being more ornate than others. The more ornate, the more money. Always a good variety of Urns to choose from, but again, one usually stands out for you.
For EI to truly make it in the funerary business, They need to get their "bread and butter" choices of Caskets and Urns in a row.
#1. The Vatican Library Collection
#2. Precious Moments
#3. Collegiate Caskets and Urns
#4. Major League Baseball
#5. Star Trek
*Let's change #3 and #4, and put MLB in front. In my area a Boston Red Sox Casket and Urn is a must. I feel CLC will out perform MLB in the long run, but you need the MLB on Display*
That's it in a nut-shell folks. It "is" all about the "Choices" on Display. Give me #1 and #2 with all of its splendor, and with the "niche's" available, you will more often than not, sell me an Eternal Image funerary product:)
The story still has not changed- SALES AND REVENUES will take our ETNL to the promised land. The Faith and Patience part will keep me "long":)
:)
Do we all agree that once this "UPLIST QUIET TIME" is officially over, we should get down to the serious business of Marketing and Advertising these funerary "products"!!:)
It's all about MOMENTUM, right?? Well, I believe we should have some serious stuff going on here, from now, and until post NFDA Convention, and "beyond"!
"New Blood, New Marketing, New Advertising, New Deep Pockets, New Financing, New Precious Moments, "New EXCHANGE!!":)
The days of the "trip 0's"/00's" should be a thing of the past, IMHO, if EI Corporate gets their act together:) Have a field day on this one "non-believers"!!:)
So where is the Vatican Line of EI?? I saw the Urn at the NFDA in Orlando, but I know even that was looking to be "sized down" somewhat. Where are the Vatican Caskets?? ??'s Heppie, you've still got Questions??
March 6, 2012!! And the ETNL saga continues!!
Yours Always in Eternal Faith,
Heppie:)
Up to $2,000. a month!!:)
"It's best to cultivate over a long period of time"
Don't kid yourselves folks, EI/ETNL is a very long term play. The story line hasn't changed a bit for the Investors of ETNL.
"Faith and Patience", and I'm sticking to it:) The jury is "still" out there on this start-up funerary company, but as the days go by and the announcements like the PM Caskets come out, the hold outs on the jury should become less and less:)
I don't feel PM is a niche market. I think it is a Market in the funerary business and could be a very lucrative one. MLB is a niche market. Star Trek is a niche market.
EI/ETNL is still very young in this funerary business.
I think a lot of people were looking for that quick buck with the stock ETNL and the ingenious idea of licensing branded funerary products. I'm sure EI Corporate in a way, was too:)
For ETNL to get that "launch" that people have been waiting for the last couple of years, it "could" happen with the uplist, the PM news, and the PR waves being re-opened to the general public.
IMHO, we have been dealing with small change and small volume the past couple of years, and yes, you could say the ETNL IHubber's have been the major contributor's to the daily trading:)
I really am impressed with the Precious Moments line of Caskets and the new design of the urn. It is obvious that PM knew what they wanted, and came together with EI with a very appropriate design. The "options" of the line of Caskets and Urns is what will do the trick for PM.
IMHO, you know one of the things that gets to me with EI in general?? Its WEBSITE, or lack there of!!:) And NH, I am off the percocet for the time being, don't you think as professionals, EI Corporate could get someone "for free" to clean this travesty of a website up!! Really?? I know Nick Jr. was at the NFDA in Orlando working hard for his dad, and he's a college student. Sounds like he could be a candidate:) I feel really bad for someone who goes to EI's website and can't get "up to date" info. on EI.
LFM's "sticky's" are second to none, and if only EI just integrated some of this info. into their Website, oh well!!:)
My last thought for you as I watch the grass grow here in somewhat sunny New Hampshire is:
When this uplist happens and the floodgates of PR land are opened-
Eternal Image needs to-
#1. Get sufficient Capital to-
#2. Market and Advertise the crap out of EI's products. Yes, the NFDA in Boston will be here in a wink of an eye, But right NOW, the Marketing and media Blitz of EI's lifetime needs to happen. The Timing is Right!!
**My proposal to EI Corporate??* A two person "ROAD TRIP" by two of the best people that I can think of to Market EI''s products. Two Utility Trailers stocked with at a minimum, an MLB casket, a CLC casket, a Precious Moments Casket, and whatever other Urn variety trinkets and medallions that you would want to have:)
The Two Trailers??
#1. The MOPAR "SuperBee" Express
#2. The LFM Martian Mobile
Yours Always in Eternal Faith,
Heppie;)
I would have expected more from a man from New Hampshire.
If it feels good to take advantage of someone on his "last breath", then I hope it makes you feel better:)
I stand corrected as I just checked the bottle that is now empty because of my having to pop the last one after reading this post.

DVB,
You have to realize that I went to college from 71-75'!!:) When I wasn't "high" on life, and living that dream then, I do remember BTO:) One of my favorite bands. In your post order, they were #1,2, and #3.
As with EI and ETNL- " You Ain't seen Nothing Yet!!":)
So in Mars LFM they don't have "REAL MEN??" Or is this before your time:)
