Interstate Caterers got a nice new website with on Cones on the front page. Maybe it was there and I didn't see it yet.
I don't see any South Plainfield storm information or even photos.
But they might have lost the electric. Tried to call but all circuits were busy.
Thanks CJAKE1
Lost our summer home down by Seaside Height's. Seaside is basically gone too right now.
No power in the main house for another week.
Well hello everyone.
Been away in Jamaica with Hurracine Sandy and my wife also named Sandy.
Came back to New Jersey today to again visit with Hurracine Sandy.
Should come ashore Monday. Really is crap to spend so much money to see a lot of Palm Trees blow over.
Well with that said, I see that I have been replaced as an assistant moderator here at CONO. Had a long run though I guess.
Lot of back and forth going on here at CONO. Bought more shares myself at this low price. Can't find enough wrong with this company yet to sell any.
My thoughts are that by the Holidays we will have better financials and more outlets selling our products. Possible back to a dime a share too I think.
We'll see!!
Thanks for the reply Southgas.
I'm not a champion of Mr. Dugan, but I have to wonder if he was duped also. Just a thought.
I see proper financials 10Q being submitted in August with a follow-up 10/QA filed after that.
What exactly was the reason for TWWI being suspended. Does anyone really know?
There's a lot of chatter going on here, but this new CEO Dugan only just arrived.
Why is it that all the chatter was not posted when the earlier people running TWWI with the PPS going nowhere were in control.
Did Dugan cause us to be on Grey Sheets or the previous people in charge of this company cause it?
Just a opinion on my part.
Do we actually see the large possibilities here with CONO ITALIANO.
We're talking about a start-up company that has produced a product that is making it's way into the consumers eyes. Not to mention it's other connection to Empanadas, the MSU and Canada link as well as possibly getting into our Supermarkets.
We are at a very low entrance point with the stock price. This is a company that can make a difference right now. It has more going for it than many other start-ups with very little to offer.
Besides that, it's has the capacity to expand it's menu and invent other tasty products. Remember Pizza Hut's pie maker last summer came up with those little Pizza bites that he thought of himself, and now it's on their menu around the country.
This is a company that can really get into kitchens around the country, as well as fast food, convenience stores and others.
What a ridiculous low price for this baby. Again, I wish I had more powder to spend. Other important bills to pay right now.
GO CONO!
I really wish I have some extra money to buy CONO shares at this price.
IMO there is no other direction except for up!
A lot of people are awaiting news of contracts and orders before spending any more money, and that is expected.
But, in my opinion all these things that CONO is doing here in the States and now Canada are not a hobby for them.
The retail and wholesale clients appear to be of a higher value than our Boardwalk vendors. That's a fact. A long ways from where we were in January of this year.
There's a lot more buyers for these products out there, believe me.
Again, I wish I could afford to buy more!!!
I think you are missing the boat here.
If a start-up company has a product to invent-patent and manufacture that can benefit the environment this is how it goes.
1. Personal money is invested.
2. Shares are sold to raise capital and pay the bills.
3. Funding companies that invest in start-ups lend to companies that appear to have a strong chance of making it profitable.
4. After a positive report of revenue more secure funding is obtained on a need basis. More expensive funding is paid down to reduce the funding rates that can chew away at profits.
Tell me what Blue-Chip bank lends to start-up companies before revenue is produced and not just projected?
You crawl a little before sprinting.
Of course it's CONO's Pizza Cone.
It's completed for consumption and re branded to the Canadian marketplace.
I might be wrong, but I do not remember CONO saying that they were supplying the completed version of the cone, just the cones themselves.
Just my opinion now,
NEWS JUST OUT FROM RAYMOND ON FB
I want to respond to some of your posts regarding EGOC has missed the boat with fuel conserving and Pollution devices.
You say that the engine manufacturing companies that supply Diesel engines have been upgrading their engines and exhaust systems to keep pace with fuel conservation and air pollution.
Well, I can't agree with you more on that.
HOWEVER, lets talk about the statements regarding that EGOC missed the boat due to the fact that newer and better trucks are being manufactured leased and sold which makes EGOC's devises a moot point.
I have some comments about that.
1st. The newer leased and purchased outright trucks are extremely expensive, especially if financed.
2. What happens to the turn-in tractors taken in exchange for the newer trucks. Many foreign countries use the more compact European models due to road size limitations. Our big clumsy tractors are really not for them. Especially ones with a gazillion miles on them. But I would expect some get through to these countries. Do the trade-in tractors just dissolve into thin air? Or can they be retrofitted?
3. You fail to mention the countless hundreds of thousand of other Diesel trucks that operated around the country and do not get traded up every few years like FedEx or similar companies.
4. Let's talk about the short distance haulers, the fuel carriers, the car carriers, the fixed wheel chassis box trucks, the large moving company trucks, the marine use diesels, the diesel dump trucks, the Jitty movers, the bulldozers and construction diesel equipment, and the list goes on. Oh how about buses?
To look and only a small segment of trucking and say that there's no need for anyone else to design and install fuel and air pollution devises is just plain silly. The engine manufacturing market is only competition in tractor engine design, not the fix all. And did I leave out diesel farming equipment.
Of course your right. I was making reservations to eat in Asbury Park today at the Pope and the $%## Restaurant and mis typed.
sorry, I meant seaside Park. LOL
They were being sold at a stand called Chippy's It also shares space with a walk in bar sports bar. They blend together.
But they have stopped selling the products due to the fact that the Boardwalk basically stops drawing people when school begins.
There's a photo on CONO ITALIANO's Facebook Page for you to see.
When I was at the Boardwalk to buy some cones, the lady there told me that they sell many more Empanadas than the CONES. Because the makeup of people that frequent the Asbury Park boardwalk are more familiar with the empanadas, and are now learning about the cones..
Been around for over two years now...not going anywhere.
Many statements have been made regarding Raymond Brown such as this one posted recently.
Quote from your Post #30891
Those who have done DD here know that EGOC was set-up by arch penny stock fraudster French Canadian Jean François Amyot before he passed the reins over to fellow crook Raymond T Brown II in mid-2011.
Can you please provide any information you may have regarding any SEC investigation of either EGOC or Mr. Raymond Brown.
I can't seem to find it anywhere!!!
Fully noted and thanks for your input. I'll let you know when the good news we have been waiting for becomes a reality.
I would like to make a point here.
When Mitch attended the Atlantic City show and released photos of people with Pizza Cones, he said that the main reason CONO was there was to introduce the product to the New Jersey Convention that covers the Boardwalks, Atlantic City proper and other entertainment venues in the State of New Jersey.
Its very hard to bring a new company into being when nearly 40+ years of set-in-stone companies control nearly everything.
Still he was successful in getting the Cones into two New Jersey Boardwalks, a feat in itself. Without saying who controls all these venues, take a guess.
Still Mitch did not ever say that he had big contracts in hand from that show, but that some vendors were interested in his products.
Now we have the Canada deal in place and still people are not happy with that. What really gets me is that some people who have only recently put eyes on this stock are educating us about our investing shortcomings.
Pink stocks are not all alike. Sometimes you hit a home run with one. IMHO this is one of those stocks.
GO ALL THE WAY CONO ITALIANO.
Raymond Brown himself updated all of us about what direction Energy 1 was taking a short time back.
We were informed about the costs and profits there was in undertaking retrofit buses overseas and alike.
Most of us here with Energy 1 are aware that the strategy of the company now is refit trucks with the fuel saving devices, and also offer electronic supervision as to the performance of the vehicle, plus at a expense that the average trucker can afford.
This is how I understand it.
Some posters lately have been going back to come up with information that was available earlier. Those of us who have been with this company for a long time already have the knowledge regarding where we are at. And we look forward to getting good news real soon.
Many of us don't think EGOC is a scam stock.
When I was running an Italian Food Packageing company in Brooklyn, NY in the 1990's there were small USDA offices set up around the five Boroughs at some of the Italian Food Manufacturing plants.
They were not there for the purpose of just overseeing a specific plants operation, but it was more efficient to have smaller offices from which to send small agents groups to go out for local inspection purposes.
Remember, they just don't inspect larger food proceesing firms, but also smaller mom and pop food preperstion establishmets too.
I need to make room in my freezer for some Pizza Cones I think.
Long live the Pizza Cone in the US nd Canada.
Oh, do the French eat Pizza? I'm not really sure. Someone told me that French Pizza has much less cheese on the top.
J'aime manger de la pizza." I copy and pasted that because I have enough trouble speaking English.
Lets not take our eye off the ball here. Investors in CNOZ either long or short should concentrate on the company and it's ability to deliver what they say they will deliver.
We have witnessed CONO's growth from an idea and a franchise beginning into a production facility.
The information about contracts, agreements, CONO financing agreements and it's products should be on the investors
short list of DD.
All this other stuff going back and forth is not interesting enough to flag this stock. It's mostly the rumbles of people who look under every rock for something. Usually all they do is end up tripping over them!
Actually I come from New York. Moved to Jersey in 1977.
Well since we are all getting some finger exercise this week, It's at least heating up on the board, even if the PPS is isn't right now.
I have to give some credit to MSU for not taking the bait of producing facts that could be SEC infractions.
He's smart not to do that!
Soon we will all see the real growth of this company I THINK!
If CONO ITALIANO is successful in marketing their product(s), now that we have a few it appears, then their will be enough profit for everyone to go around.
Who has what and how many only matter if the company remain small and under the radar. If CONO rises above that level we will all be signing it's praises. No matter how many shares people have.
The difference here is that we have a product people might want. Just look in the freezer section in Supermarkets. Some really dumb products there and they sell like hotcakes.
I honestly don't know that answer BeerIsGood. But we really should know the exact breakdown. I agree.
Alright enough is enough of this. Let's get back to CONO ITALIANO because that's where our money is ...right.
Many of us longs have waited for this company to prove itself. Some of us here have seen the facility, the equipment, the product and some of us have purchased the product and eaten the thing.
Scam, scam, scam is what we get from a lot of people here. Well I for one don't see it that way. A scam in Pink world is where you have a product or a product idea, that no one can even verify. And the stock value in those companies are higher that CONO in quite a few.
Do the videos of the facility, the racks of cones and signed agreements with Interstate Caterers are fake. Did me and my kids eat air at the boardwalk? What nonsense.
My frank opinion here, and I want to again say MY OPINION, is that CONO has reached a point in it's maturity as a company to deliver products and sales for itself and it's shareholders.
The company is on time with filings, signed agreements to manufacture and now we hear that they have expanded their reach in Canada.
Good for them. Let the PPS stay low for a while and that lets us buy more stock, and look for gains in the future. Again JMHO
I have been with CONO for a few years now and have seen it mature in it's equipment purchases, it's facility and shipments, and have purchased the CONES many times at the NJ Boardwalk.
It seems that lately the stock is getting pounded.
I am trying to help investors by stating the obivious. That they consider doing their own DD, so that they can make their own decisions about their own money with facts they have uncovered themselves.
It's bad enough to lose money when you research a stock yourself.
But at least you can blame yourself too. But when a stock takes off that you researched, it a good feeling.
Went to the boardwalk with the kids Sunday. Saturday had a lot of rain but Sunday was fine.
Took some pictures but forgot to take my camera to work so I can post them.
The lady at the counter told me that they have sold many of the cones, but seem to sell more of the Espanadas because of the local make up of the area. The people are more unfamiliar with the cones than they are of the other.
However, looking at the oven that is set up to heat the cones, it certainly had got a lot of use. Actually, they should take better care of how they maintain it.
She says that the were only open 2 days on the weekend now, because the crowds are away for back-to-school and the people mostly come on the weekends now.
I tried to see if I could eat one of the cones without dripping it on myself. It's easy to eat, but if your a strong hand person and squeeze on it too hard you can get some hot sauce on your fingers.
Other than that, they were pretty good I think.
My only opinion that I have, is that I think the cones appeal to younger people rather that us older folks.
Yes Seaside Heights New Jersey.
Have not tried the other yet!
Going there Sunday for some Cones with the KIDS. Hope there still selling them LOL
It's nice to see the back and forth here, but we're getting away from the real issues.
We can't just create issues for the sake of creating them, unless there's actual proven fraud involved.
With CONO it's just about management being quiet and that upsets some people.
The facts are in the legitimate filing on record. For good or bad. In between it's is up to management to make decisions on how they will update shareholders.
This is why in-place-rules say that to keep your listing status current, a company needs to meet filing requirements so that the shareholders and the SEC have access to the facts of the company.
This board, Twitter and Facebook are free mostly and that's why some CEO's use it. Plain and simple it saves money. But it can also be used against them because there are no rules to follow.
If you trust the company, buy their stock. If you don't trust them, then don't buy their stock. What's more simple than that?
The CONO product is REAL!
Want to know why the PPS doesn't move up? The main stream investors have not yet acted on to CONO's potential. They will when solid movement in sales comes in and is officially posted in a PR.
For the time being we have us guys; both longs and those looking for profits every day.
Yes I have eaten the cones and see the potential here. I see gold and silver mining stocks with a higher PPS but no real successful mining to show for it. Cono has products and it all comes down to patience and trust. JMO
Being quiet is a good sign in my opinion. Shows that they have everything moving forward and don't need a Pump to generate funds.
When the time is right, CONO will snap back with a concrete plan in place. Until then this is what we have.
But of course, this is how I feel and I am not telling anyone to believe in the company. That's you decision.
Can't help you with that!
I see where Bruce Dugan has started a Travel Log of his stay in India. He says he'll be there for at least five months time.
The Thrive World Website has the links.
IMO when a company has no real product and is just playing the PINK world, it uses fake PR's and Pumping sites to raise it's pocket money.
But when a company has a real product(s), it saves it's money to get the product into the marketplace with it's available capital.
Paying Pump and Dump only uses up valuable money that can be better used for actual company expenses.
A quiet company with a real product is usually a successful one in the end. But this is only MY OPINION.
Looks like we will get a new company and new products. Can't blame them seeing what Groupon is going through.
Daily Deals is a very competitive marketplace.
I'm all for specialized software and I hope they find the money to do it.
We all might be in a better position if they pull it off. JMHO
Canada Pizza Cones are all over the Internet.
CONO ITALIANO has the exclusive rights to distribute products for Kono Pizza Cones.
The Canada cones are Kono Pizza cones. If I reading the Canada sites correctly.
