Another theory why both stocks went up is that both Frank and Fred were on the same airplane and it crashed.
Ramsey, yes I agree. I just cant help feeling that it will take more of an all around player (maybe Murray or Roddick) to beat Federer on grass. Plus,Federer has been really lucky until now with injuries.That could also be a factor one of these days.
Ramsey2, I think the only reason that Federer would not break the Sampras Wimbledon record is because they are using bigger balls at Wimbledon now.They have been doing this to slow the game down.I believe thats the reason Nadal was able to get to the finals and play such a great match against Federer.I think that Federer is still the big favorite to keep winning Wimbledon though,especially since it follows the clay court season. Since nobody can really prepare properly for Wimbledon it is a big plus for Federer since he is a more complete player then the rest of the guys. Also,Federer doesnt have to fly back and forth over the Atlantic to touch base at home before and after Roland Garros which is also an advantage.
who, why do people think that God will help the longs more than the shorts? I just hope God can help us deal with losing all this money (and of course send Frank and Fred to hell).
I hope you didnt turn around and put your money in HISC. lol
You´re right.But its nice to hear something every once in a while just so we know we still have a company.To be honest I have no idea whats going on with SSTY and TPID.I saw there were a couple of days that SSTY had fairly high volume and I dont know if thats good or bad.I cant really be upset with my invest here because they are not doing any worse than all my other stocks (HISC,EFGO,INXR).I sure wish I could go back in time with all my investments.I screwed up big time.
I wish I knew. Without any communication its impossible to know whats going on here.
december, I am still in with restricted shares.I am going to hold atleast for the 2 year period so the process for lifting the restriction becomes a little easier.I will give this company all the time they need to either die or succeed.Time will tell.
itlogic, I understand what you are saying but I could see where you could go from phase 1 to phase 2 in a couple of days.There are tests and there are tests.I would imagine that Check 21 has been in the testing phase for months if not years.Sort of like building a car.But a client just TEST DRIVES the car.For me that can take just a matter of minutes.I would assume that what the banks in China are doing is TEST DRIVING CHECK 21.It makes no sense that EFGO would present a product that has not been fully tested before trying to sell it to their potential clients.JMO
new, I think if its not maxed out it is probably close.I dont pay much attention to the small details.I definitey dont trust Pink Sheet data and TownHall has stated that they have not bought back shares.
snow, the O/S is very relevant.The fact that EFGO has maxed out their O/S leads many to believe that there will be a R/S.Also, until now EFGO has tried growing their company through acquisitions and without spare shares to spend its not clear how they will move forward.
Allin, I think that we are all on the same side here but many or most have lost confidence in EFGO.At this point I believe that all talk,TownHall,e-mails,etc are worthless.We have reached the point where the only thing that counts are signed contracts with $ amounts.In the past couple of months the PPS reflects that the negatives far out weigh the positives.And considering that EFGO has lost most of its credibility and we have atleast 10 billion O/S it will take more than BS prs to get this thing moving.I appreciate all the DD you provide as well as from others but we still dont know much about whats going on here. JMO
Personally I dont think we will see a pr until atleast 1 of their clients signs on the dotted line.
hey Willy, I see you are still struggling with your Check 21 class,especially on how it will work in China.I dont think anybody really knows what kind of market there is for this type of product in China (sh*t,its a communist country).But for a company with a pps of .0002 anything will be great for us.Plus,I think that EFGOs strategy is to get their foot in the door with 1 of their products and then gradually bring the other products into play.The fact that nobody really knows what is going on,could be a blessing in disguise.If everything was clear then that would mean somebody else is already doing it, which would not be good for EFGO.That in itself probably means the market is not that big, but time will tell.GLTY
If there were some big contracts then we wouldnt have needed a rs.Also the name change could have been done without the rs.
I think that there is no good news on the way with sales.If they did have sales in the works then they could have just raised the A/S and diluted just what they needed until they saw money coming in.The R/S tells me that they have reached a complete dead end with their current business model and want to start over with another strategy.JMO
You should give it up Wayne.You are trying to make it personal and about shareholders and they are keeping it as business and will definitely put their livelyhood before ours everyday of the week.
Cheap,probably the shares being bought are GTC orders that people had put in and they probably didnt see the pr yet.
Acquisitions through dilution.Thats why they are R/Sing
What I find disgusting is that they have had no idea how to run HISC and they already have a shopping list to buy other companies.What a joke.There are going shopping at our expense.
Something must be going on.The volume is over 50 million already.
I think its obvious that when people talk about losing more than 100% they are talking about the percentage it will take to get back to their original investment.If you have $100 and lose 50% you have $50.It then takes 100% gain to get back to your $100.JMO
Personally I dont think that EFGO is a scam but I do think that Garr Winters is out of his league.He has had no backup plans for some of the mishaps that have happened.The forex guy had health problems and that division dies.Chang screwed EFGO around and it looks like we lost all of our so-called contracts.Garr is sick or out of the country and the IR is not able to communicate with shareholders.There is a chinese delegation with about 10 people and Garr can only arrange to meet with 1 guy for 45 minutes.And even that 45 minutes was thanks to Xu.Garr has gone in every different direction possible and has used up all A/S as far as we know.I am hopeful that EFGO can sell some of their empty shells and get our pps up a little bit.But in the long run I believe that our future may lie in the capabilities of Xu and not Winters.JMO
Just to follow up on my last post.Some of the harder strings are made with polyester or kevlar (used in bullit proof vests).When using luxilon they recommend that you string 10% less tight then usual.Many european players use luxilon because they play more on clay which is harder on strings and stringing rackets in europe costs more than in the US generally speaking.Here in Switzerland it costs between $45-$60 regardless of which string you choose.For the juniors that I teach they usually buy a stringing machine when they start breaking strings every 5-10 hours.Luxilon costs about $12-$14 dollars before labor and you can find other strings that are really good which are not hard for $5.I personally use gamma synthetic gut which costs about $5 per racket if you buy a reel ($75).When I string for my juniors I use Iso-speed which lasts a little longer than the gamma.In the old days they made the strings thicker to last longer and now the strings are thinner but really durrable.Personnally I perferred the old way because atleast you knew what you were dealing with.JMO
db-luxe, great post.THANKS for your insight.
Ramsey,I dont agree with that article at all.The only reason players use Luxilon is because it lasts longer.And the string is so hard that most players will string the verticals with luxilon and the horizontals with a normal string (hybrid stringing).The problem with todays tennis is that with the power and spin of todays players the old strings last about 30 minutes,so the players are forced to use strings that last longer.But the harder the string the less power and feel you have.I string rackets for a lot of people and would never put luxilon in a junior racket.It could definetely cause arm and shoulder problems.I would say that the luxilon strings last about 5 times longer than a normal string.As far as Nadal using a 4 1/4 grip size.It is normal that on slower courts it is better to use a smaller grip because you can use more wrist,which gives more spin,and on faster courts you can use a little bigger grip.In the old days players had bigger grips because they used less spin.JMO
Ramsey2, this week is the Swiss indoors and Federer is playing, and the #2 seed is Gonzalez.Nalbandien is unseeded and plays Wawrinka 1st round.Wawrinka beat him a couple of weeks ago I think. It could be an interesting tournament.Federer will be playing in front of his home crowd.
yeah,Nalbandian use to always give Federer problems.I believe Nalbandian beat Federer in the finals of the Masters a couple of years ago.I am glad to see that he is playing good again.For about a year he was losing a lot.
coolbill, thanks for posting your observations.I believe he didnt need to ask if you were a shareholder.It was obvious by your questions to him.And I think that his answers were a pitch for the stock.
itlogic, I think the biggest asset of GVHL might be Robert Xu, and possibly EFGO will need to merge with GVHL to get him.At this point we cant be sure of anything and I am afraid that if no deals are done out of China by the end of the year then EFGO is doomed.JMO
itlogic, thanks for posting the link and I just read it.Keep in mind that this was written in February and I think a lot has changed since then.I think that EFGO needs Xu and I think that GVHL is much further ahead in China now than several months ago.And China is where EFGO is putting all their hope.JMO
The main reason that I think that EFGO might merge with GVHL is because it appears that most of our possible success depends on Robert Xu and his contacts.And with Garr stepping down it seems like Xu would be the likely replacement.Especially considering that Garr is only partially stepping down.And that does not exclude the possibility of a merged EFGO-GVHL to then merge with a Chinese company.I just think that the business relationship between Garr and Xu is too inter-twined to not join their 2 companies together.
brikk,I think he meant flipper.JMO
LOL
Grayhost,if I loan my girlfriend $250,000 and then we get married,doesnt that mean I get that $250,000 back? Plus, instead of owning a piece of GVHL then we would own it all.
Since Garr has stated that he will be working only part time with EFGO beginning in 2008, that leads me to believe the following.That they will merge with GVHL and Robert Xu takes over as CEO of the combined company.And I am hoping that they will also uplist.To me this is the only thing that makes sense to me at this time.JMO
Personally I dont think that the Chinese delegation came all this way just for EFGO.But I do think that they were considerate and curious enough to sit down for a while and talk about what EFGO has to offer.Time will tell if they are interested.I also dont think that Garr going back to China now has anything to do with this particular delegation.I just wish that EFGO would be a little more clear about all these various trips and meetings.They are responsible for all this confusion.
I believe that with a particular broker you can not trade "8" figures so people put in 9,999,999.
Yeah, this time Federer will be playing Canas indoors which should give him a big advantage.If Nadal is having problems with his knees then he will definitely feel the pain on the hard courts.The last time he defaulted out of a tournament I believe was due to cramping in his hands or arms.This was right before the US Open.This could have been because of stress and the fact that he is always clutching his fist.To me he seemed more subdued during the Open possibly because of this.Once you have cramps like he did,then it will always be in the back of your mind,especially in tight matches.In Madrid I think it will be a Federer-Djokovic final.Nadal might have a tough time in the 2nd round against Andy Murray.I guess it will depend on how fast the hard courts are.Considering the tournament is in Madrid then they might have slow hard courts to give the home boys an added edge.
Personally I dont think that there is a difference between us owning the float or anybody else.People here flip shares as much as the next guy.Actually people here may flip more because they own more shares. JMO
