Tell Matt how tall or big you are!
Chartmaster??????
Hmmmmmmmm.......sounds like a good alias!
Uh Oh..........
I don't wanna tick anyone's daughter or wife off Derfie!
Especially from your neck of the woods......people carry guns don't they?
Anna,
I second that! I have gotten myself into more scrapes because people have not realized that I was joking!
BTW Happy New Year!
Derf is verrrry secretive.....doubt if he'll tell ya!
But I'm 5'1" if anyone cares.
If you don't.....don't tell me or I might cry!
Ya gotta do what ya gotta do!
Must always keep the spousal unit happy Derfie!!
You need more than 4 hours sleep(?)a night anyway!
JMC's joint venture project,
How funny is that!
Alex,
I agree that we are serious but the only thing we are serious about is that it's probably a scam.
We are, I guess, what you would call stuckholders who thought that we (or at least I) would get out on the All Pro spinoff "pump".
Once the SEC stepped in, it never happened so here we sit!
At least we are cordial!
I sold half of my DYN at 1.75 Derf. Not too shabby....I bought it at 1.17
Good one Churak! eom
Now she is going after Jim Bishop
Going after Jim????????????
I don't know any of the details but IMO she must be nuts! Jim is probably one of the most honest, intelligent, and an all around good guy on these boards as well as SI and RB.
Derf,
Have you peeked at the Dugout board on RB today? When I came online before there were over 100 posts. Lately it's been quiet over there so I figured that there had to be some big baseball news to warrant that many posts.
Wrong!
It was a couple of Yankees fans vs a bunch of others. I can't believe I'm saying this......but even I am tired of hearing about the Yankees!
George might be putting together a winner but IMO it's not a team that will jell like teams from the 90's.
BTW....DYN is having a conference call tomorrow AM. I'm gonna have to have my finger close to the sell button.

(This msg. is a reply to 873749 by riter1115.)
riter, I caught up with ...
... last night's stuff with the radio show ... saw the PR that came out in t' dead of NITE ... read that, read one of their 8k's when this first started up with gatkeeper an' peanut ...
... Peakers ... the predecessor corporation to PCBM, was a Canadian mining company ... but the trail goes cold seein' as how it went inactive in t' mid 90's ... an' I've been thinkin' that whatever is/waz/will be goin' on with PCBM, et al, has as much'ta do with it's pedigree as anything happenin' recently. But, so far, I've found out nothin' about Peakers, other than what anyone can find with some I-searchin' ...
My overall impression of the whole CMKI silliness is that so far, we have no actual, factual, INFORMATION, other than a supposed share structure for CMKI ... which, on t' face of it, is a disaster. I could be wrong, but I thought I saw where they have over 5 billion out, but somethin' like 'only' 300,000 actual 'float' ...
I think that someone, somewhere, who doesn't have a whole lot to do with PCBM, is workin' a little scam here ... maybe tryin'ta get a pump on their (CMKI) stock price by hintin' that this 'merger' stuff has truth to it. I think that someone familiar to us is playin' a game, and whoever CMKI's management is, they went along with it, 'cause they need the pump on their stock ... PCBM shareholders jumpin' in on the rumor, an' all that ...
Let's wait for real news, first.
One thingie's for sure ... the whole SEC silliness, along with t' mystery of PCBM's share structure an' financial information will come out before any of this nonsense happens.
So, we have a real test of credability 'bout'ta happen here ... the slurp, et al, ... gatekeeper ... peanut ... all t' above are either real heros or part of t' pump.
We'll know soon.
Why?
'Cause all that stuff has'ta come out at or before the CMKI shareholder meeting on January 15th ... or t' whole thingie was a fraud.
Anyone wanna bet that CMKI shareholder meeting gets postponed?
:)

From the CMKI PR- "acquisition based upon its diverse and active shareholder base" eom
My words:
Why are people taking that as a compliment? When I read it, all I can see is "gullible" shareholder base.
You said DANKY???? I thought you said DYN!
That's what I bought.........
Just funnin with ya. I knew you said DANKY but I did buy DYN. I'm kinda happy with the results right now with that too but I probably should have listened to ya!
I didn't see this post until a few minutes ago Derf!
It's done!
Has anyone called Vince to get his take on this whole new subplot?
Scandle had an interesting post to Surfit today. Surfit's been quiet and the price went up. Was he buying????? Now he'll be posting all over the boards and then dump,,,,again????
Seems like his MO.
My sentiments exactly!
That's why I can't read it anymore.
Doesn't look like the price today is a reflection of good news.
Derf,
I had bought CMKI back in July, 2001 because they were doing a 10-1 forward split. That was the "rage" back then. I had done really well on other stocks that did forward splits so I gave it a shot. It was called Cybermark International back then.
Well.......it didn't do what I wanted it to do. As a matter of fact, if I remember correctly there was a lot of confusion with the split. It did split in August, 2001 but the price plummeted to sub penny levels.
It was only recently that it rebounded and I was able to sell for a gain in November. It has gone back down since then.
Sounds like another POS to me with more questions than answers.
BTW, the person who first mentioned CMKI was not a "long" if I remember correctly.
I was forced to skim through the zoo posts because of this possible "turn of events".
I thought it odd that a company would issue a PR at 12:28AM on a Sunday night/Monday morning but it's a little bit clearer now after reading last night's posts.
Apparently there was some call in radio show on last night (online, I think)with someone from CMKI (again, I think). Looks like some of the longs, Riter, Steve, and Rdelp got through and were pumping the guy for info about PCBM. I don't think they got any answers but it seems Riter was given a phone number to call today.
I guess (if it is PCBM), CMKI figured that they had better issue a press release before talking to anyone on the phone today.
The saga continues.......
Off to work for me. If anything happens, please Huck or Derf post it here. I don't wanna go back there again!!!!!
Susie
I got an e-mail today that might mean that the whole rumor with CMKI is true.
Here's the link:
http://www.pinksheets.com/quote/news.jsp?url=fis_story.asp%3Ftextpath%3DCOMTEX%5Cbw%5C2003%5C01%5C06...
I just finally got rid of that POS (CMKI) a few weeks ago and now it looks like I will have it back again.
I hope this is good for a pump.....maybe I can get rid of everything!
If it's true, it also goes to show that the "pipeline" from PCBM is alive and kicking. I hope the people who knew about this ahead of time realize how stupid they were to be broadcasting it ahead of a PR.
Again, I don't even know if any of this is about PCBM, so I guess we wait some more.
Derf,
I don't know if you have looked at the Football board on RB but if you did, the first contest is already over!!!!
Jcamp is the ONLY one that picked Atlanta yesterday so he wins by default. He was the only one who picked the Angels to win also!
He is the official winner but they are keeping the contest going. For every win that you had this weekend, you get 2 points.
Next weekend you have to make your picks and put a number value next to it. First pick - 4 Second pick - 3 Third pick - 2 and last pick - 1
I hope I have this right......here's duck's link just in case.

Derf, I think there are many NYers that feel the same way as you do tonight.
Yesterday's games were blow aways and today's games were give aways.
I guess Yogi was right though.....It ain't over until it's over!
That was a different stock. I didn't know Derf then!
Do you guys really meet in Vegas each year?
I did that with a group of people that I met online in a stock a few years ago. We agreed to meet in Vegas if the stock hit a dollar. It hit a dollar for about an eighth of a second so we all went.
Most of us got greedy though and watched it plummet back down and do a reverse split etc etc etc......
But Vegas was fun and most of the people were normal!
It wasn't a pretty sight Colleen! The Steelers just wouldn't give up and the Brownies kinda lost focus.
Funny thing is.....Derf picked the Steelers to win and that's usually a given that they will lose but I guess deep down he was rooting for Cleveland.
I guess he can't fool the sports gods.
The longer I stay here, the hungrier I get!!!
Does this bar serve garlic fries????? When I was out at PacBell Stadium during the summer I tasted them.
I've tried making them a few times but something's missing.....Yesterday I made some during the Jets game that were pretty close....but not quite right!
Maybe they use the same oil all season?
Susie
Aw Derfie!
I thought your Brownies were gonna pull it off but it seemed like they ran out of gas and Pittsburgh never gave up.
By far, it was the best game to watch so far this weekend.
Whew! I made it!
It took me awhile to find this place but I think I like it already!
I like it here already Colleen! I will definitely check out the Corner Bar. Sounds like a great place to hang out!
Looks like you overtook me in the contest Churak but look out behind you!
We have another RB spammer on the loose!

I guess I'm gonna have to do that if I want to have a chance!
I am probably the only female poster on the DUGOUT board on RB and most of the guys are ok with it. Many, if not all, of them also post on the FOOTBALL board over there but I have not followed them. My knowledge of football is not as strong as my knowledge of baseball (Yankee knowledge anyway)and I think it does bother some of them so I will just lurk.
One of the guys did start a playoff pool. Everyone had to pick the 4 teams this weekend that would advance to next weekend. Whoever picked correctly would go on and the rest wouldn't. Well......out of about 25 or 30 picks, only one guy picked Atlanta over Green Bay! He is also the only one on the DUGOUT board who picked California to win the series in the beginning of the season!
Which football pool is bballmom in????? That looks interesting!
edit: I tried to get the whole DUGOUT board to join Ihub but they can't post on the sports boards because they are "premium" boards so only one or two came over.
Actually, I think Colleen handled the situation really well!
Derf and I go way back on RB. One thing to remember wrt Derf and sports. If he picks your team to win.....you are doomed! We called it the "curse of the Derf" on the DUGOUT board over on RB.
I don't know how old Troy's daughters are but he should definitely get them interested in sports, not only watching but playing! There is a lot of college scholarships out there for female athletes.
I will keep my reaction to myself since I am new in these here parts! This time, anyway!!!
Hey Derf,
Is this a relative of yours?
Maybe Vince should hire some guards.....he's near Pittsburgh isn't he?
PITTSBURGH (Jan. 4) - In the latest in a string of vandalism carried out in the name of the Earth Liberation Front, members of the radical environmental group are claiming responsibility for a fire at a Pennsylvania auto dealership.
A posting on the group's Web site said the ``attack'' targeted SUVs in a fight ``to remove the profit motive from the killing of the natural environment.''
Jugs of gasoline were set ablaze under three vehicles, engulfing them and a nearby car in flames Wednesday at a dealership in Girard, about 110 miles north of Pittsburgh, FBI Special Agent Bob Rudge said. Three other vehicles also had jugs of gasoline set under them but failed to ignite.
``I have no reason to doubt that it's an individual who committed the acts on behalf of the Earth Liberation Front,'' Rudge said.
The FBI considers the Earth Liberation Front one of the nation's most prolific domestic terrorist organizations. It is thought to be responsible for the 1998 torching of a ski resort in Vail, Colo., an arson that caused $12 million in damage and is considered the most destructive act of eco-terrorism in U.S. history.
ELF is loosely organized. Anyone who carries out an action under the group's guidelines and claims responsibility as part of the organization is considered a member. Over the past year, its name has been attached to a string of vandalism in Pennsylvania.
Last month, the group's Web site said ELF members and cells from the Animal Liberation Front set a Nov. 26 fire at a mink farm in Erie. The fire destroyed a barn, but no animals or people were harmed.
The group also claimed responsibility for an Aug. 11 fire at an unoccupied forest research station near Warren and the torching in March of a construction crane at a bridge work site in Erie, Rudge said.
ELF's claims of responsibility typically come through its Web site, where managers say they serve only as a media conduit for the group. A manager who did not provide an identity said in an e-mail that the communique about Wednesday's fire came in anonymously, as do all reports of ELF attacks.
Rudge said that communique, posted on the Web site, appeared to be authentic because it included information that hadn't been made public.

I know there is a way to post pictures from other websites but is there a way to post a picture that I have on my hard drive?
TIA
Wow.....It sure does look like Flecks has had a big turnaround on his thinking. I'm not surprised that they backed off on plan B because I don't think they really wanted to find out the info that they were looking for.
FWIW, I never thought Flecks was a bad guy. I always thought that he just got swept up in all the hype and just kept getting in deeper and deeper.
I like Dan.

Derf,
I had my husband try to post on the Baseball board but you have to be a "paying" member to do that or be grandfathered like you and I are.
HHL!
Thanks for joining. Derf isn't around too much on the weekends but he usually checks in once or twice.
There is a board that was set up to explain about IH if you are interested.
