Press-Releases and News-Announcements have-never been-productive. No-truth-or credibility-to-them.
No charts or wishful thinking will get the stock to rise and stay high. Only legitimate sales to retailers and net profits from those sales will attract serious investors. Right now you have "chump change" traders who think they can outsmart the market. It's apparent that they can't as the stock price was so much higher last year and it hit new lows again this year. They are what I call the "desperate underwater investors". They will do or say anything to tout this stock. They have been doing that prior to me finding this board in August of last year.
Zalemark tries to drive the PPS higher with foolish and unfulfilled PR and news announcements. BUT, nothing ever comes close to being fulfilled. Steven Zale is a con-man who has lost millions of dollars of investor monies. Read the past financial statements. He has had no successful business that ever made money. Always bankruptcies or closed businesses leaving huge unpaid obligations. He has been arrested for embezzlement and was sent to prison for thee years for dealing large amounts of cocaine. The investors that "bought into his rhetoric" we're conned. And of course they don't want to admit it.
And the "dumb-and-dumber" chartist's think they-can-manipulate Zalemark higher.
Yes, a low floater can go up on small volume. It's been done here. But a stock can't sustain the higher prices with small volume. When someone goes to sell a larger amount of shares the price always drops back to it's original low price or even lower.
So the investor that slaps the ask with a 1,000 shares or even 10,000 shares will find that the price will drop when the 100,000 share seller wants to get rid of their stock. Can you imagine what new lows we would see when a 1,000,000 share person decides "enough is enough" and wants to get out. Zalemark is a ticking time-bomb.
The only way to get the PPS higher on a permanent basis is when Zalemark has profits. But you need sales first and it's been proven that the Crayola jewelry collection had no takers. And neither did M&M's. So again NO SALES...NO PROFITS. Plus Zalemark has to pay substantial minimum quarterly royalty payments that they can't get out of.
There will be no audit or uplisting. And no exchanging stock for desperately needed funding from Kodiak as the stock price doesn't warrant it. The con-man Steven Zale is out of options.
It-doesn't-matter what-brand Zalemark-gets; it's-been-PROVEN that-they can't market ANYTHING. They have had Crayola since 2014. There isn't a single piece of Zalemark produced Crayola jewelry in any stores. M&M jewelry was supposed to previewed to buyers in 2015, with delivery in the first quarter of this year. Again NOBODY bought it. What is it that you don't understand. Zalemark sells shares not jewelry...that is quite apparent to everybody (except a few underwater desperate longs).
March 2, 2016: one-of-the "dumb brothers" posted this:
"$ZMRK major news with big distribution will be in place from what I heard on rumors around"
The desperate underwater longs will post anything to try and get the PPS higher. The "cry wolf" investors love spreading FALSE rumors.
I understand the rational. When your DD has failed you, then try to recoup your losses by spreading false rumors in the hopes that somebody bites and the PPS will skyrocket. But in the eight months I have been here I haven't seen it happen (although they have tried) and the PPS has DROPPED over 80% of its value. And the value of Zalemark continues to hover around its lows.
Desperate investors do desperate things.
Meanwhile there is no Crayola jewelry in any stores. No M&M jewelry in any stores. No Zalemark jewelry in any stores. And the losses continue to mount.
REAL EXCITING NEWS WOULD BE ZALEMARK SELLING-SOMETHING.
It has been 11 months since Zalemark showed the Crayola jewelry at the same trade show last year. They didn't sell anything in 11 months. No one can name a store the jewelry is in. And to top it off...the jewelry is ugly. Stores already have great color brands like Effy and Levian. Much better looking product. These Crayola and M&M looks are pathetic.
Now to turn the lights out and go to sleep.
Smart-investors do-not-see an-interest in Zalemark. No-revenue. Just-huge-losses. No investor whales are coming in to push the PPS higher. There is no future to this company. Realize that no retailers liked the Crayola product. If they did then orders would have been placed starting eleven months ago when the Crayola collection was debuted at that trade show in Las Vegas. Remember how Steven Zale bragged about the big party he held for an exclusive retail audience. But never any pictures from that party showing any buyers or trade press people.
If a major buyer was there then Steven Zale would have had his picture taken with them and he would have publicized it. I am telling you the jewelry had no salability. It's so obvious...because no retailers purchased it.
Steven Zale and Zalemark have-no credibility-left. Always-false-promises.
No Crayola launch. Doesn't that tell the loyal faithful followers something?
Another no-volume day. No investor confidence left-in Zalemark.
June/Las-Vegas will-be-as-bad for Zalemark as-it-was last-year. No-Sales!!!
They have had a year to sell something (anything) but they couldn't. No launch, no sales, no Crayola jewelry anywhere. Only excuses by desperate underwater investors...never any word about why no one bought the product by the inept clown Steven Zale.
Shalley: good questions. Steven Zale is a con-man. He makes his money by conning greedy Investers into thinking they will make money on his concepts. As I stated before; greed comes with blinders. So you don't see the downside to your investment. It's always wishful thinking and future promises...that keep getting extended and never come to fruition. The yearly financials show $8,000,000 in negative retained earnings and the net loss for the year. Steven Zale somehow made those funds disappear. His branding concept has always proven to be a failure.
I don't know of his involvement in any other company. Which company are you referring to? The Zalemark that preceded this company went bankrupt. And there have been other companies that Steven Zale has been associated with that either closed their doors or went bankrupt, leaving unpaid financial obligations. And Zalemark has never been truthful regarding the $4,000,000 JTV lawsuit. Where is the "transparency" that they wrote about mid last year?
And yes, you can buy deeply discounted shares directly from Zalemark. They will be restricted for a few months but if you believe in Zalemark you should be able to get the shares at half price or less. Look at the 1st-2nd and 3rd quarter financials from last year. It will tell you the names, the amount of shares purchased and the dates. Then look up the closing price for those dates. You will see I am correct.
Here are NON-FACTS which a desperate investor posted:
September 17, 2015, Post-3999
"Awesome chart, this will definitely be one of the best stocks this year when its all said and done. Retail coming and thats HUGE"
Post-3996
"Yep, awesome chart, golden cross coming."
Post-3881
"ZMRK is a hidden gem. Big things coming."
Post-3949
"ZMRK will be trading at .25+ by Xmas"
Post-2944
"Looks like they should have a market cap of around 10 million, we are at 1.8 now so we should see at least 5 times pps which is about .20"
Post-2904 August14, 2015
"because they WILL be audited this quarter. That was straight from Steven Zale when I spoke with him."
Post-2768, August 7, 2015
"huge financials will be out either today or next week per Steven Zale. I'm excited to watch everyone chase."
I could keep going but hopefully you get the picture. These are posts from a desperate investor that has lost huge amounts of money and is still touting Zalemark as the next big thing. I really hope this investor keeps buying in as the stock hits new lows.
Here are facts: Read them and the financials.
No meaningful sales for years...not just for many months. HUGE losses...millions upon millions of dollars of investor money lost. But some "really smart" longs would have you believe the future looks bright.
Still "Chump-Change" unless the-volume hits millions on-a daily-basis.
When you buy a "manipulated" stock that closes at the day's high because someone slapped the ask with a 1,000 share trade, you won't be able to sell a decent amount of shares for anywhere close to that manipulated price.
There are no revenues from any retail stores. The Crayola jewelry was a failure. Everyone is clambering for their money and the value of the stock keeps going down. This is not a viable company. Zalemark is led by a convicted ex felon who cons people out of their money. Huge losses and huge debt. Couple that with no sales. ZMRK is a disaster.
Today's Barchart.com: 13 Popular Analytics still say Zalemark=SELL.
http://www.barchart.com/quotes/stocks/zmrk
With thin trading, the-price drops when-you want to-sell.
Try to unload 1,000,000 shares and see where the PSS drops to.
Worth repeating from a January 17, 2016 post.
Steven Zale/Zalemark cannot market Crayola because of-the following:
The branding concept takes:
MONEY; consumers are well aware of the Crayola name. But the association is with kids crayons not jewelry. Advertising to the consumer is not cheap. To change a brands direction to jewelry will cost a few million dollars in promotional funding. Zalemark doesn't have the funds.
DESIGN; Steven Zale, for years, has had no products selling in the stores he listed where he says he is an authorized vendor. Just more Zalemark B.S. Zalemark is NOT a current vendor to ANY of the stores listed. His designs are not current or compelling enough to get a major department store or jewelry chain to make a purchase.
NO INFRASTRUCTURE; to sell the "big boys" you need sophisticated computer systems in place. You need to be EDI compliant with a number of different major retailers. Incoming orders need to be confirmed via electronic data transfers. ASN's (advanced shipping notices) must be transferred as well, along with invoices, etc. etc. Zalemark doesn't have the equipment or people to do this.
SALES; this is the big one. Without sales (and there hasn't been any for years) there is no fuel to keep this company going. No sales, no profits...no nothing.
It has been the Steven Zale B.S. shuffle...excuses and delays over and over again. But really, the truth of the matter is there was no compelling reason for a buyer to purchase Crayola jewelry. The department store consumer (like a Macy's) is very different from a jewelry store (Kay's or Helzberg) customer. If the merchandise was relevant to those stores, then buyers from these prestigious retailers would have placed test orders from their selections at the Las Vegas jewelry show in early June of last year. But they didn't like the product...hence, no test orders. But Steven Zale didn't tell the investors that. The third quarter launch never happened. There was never an announcement from Zalemark...only the "desperate longs" that made excuses on this board trying to get the PPS to rise.
And every month when their predictions of the launch failed they postponed the launch date. First to October, then for sure in November and then absolutely in time for Christmas. And when all of that failed to yield any results the launch was supposed to be postponed to January. And now they are saying Crayola will be "testing" in time for Valentines Day. (Well V-Day has come and gone and Mother's Day is next week.) Merchandise won't be in a major department store or jewelry chain...that's for sure.
Possibly Zalemark can place some goods in a few small independents, but again that won't give them the serious sales revenue they have to have to keep afloat.
All the posts regarding "the audit" or the Kodiak financing won't happen. Steven Zale is spending money to hype his stock when he should have spent the dollars on design, sales and marketing.
And that video he made was pathetic. Begging for pity. Finally admitting he spent three years in prison for drug dealing. But he try's to diffuse his involvement. He did the same with his arrest on the embezzlement charges. It's always someone else that led him astray. Kinda like Gideon and Honest John who wisked Pinocchio away to Strombolies Caravan.
And Steven Zale and Mr. Stromboli have a lot in common; deceitful, greedy and wanting fast easy money at someone else's expense.
Millions and millions of investor's hard dollars and equity have been "urinated" away. All the naive followers of the Pied Piper who have invested sweat equity will never get any compensation. I really don't feel sorry for them as greed overcame morality.
And still no announcement from Zalemark regarding the JTV $4,000,000 lawsuit.
And again, why did they file to cease doing business in California? The only location where they work out of is California. Why so silent on that.
Too many questions and no answers. Always excuses and delays.
Bankruptcy is eminent.
Promised Roll-out: 3rd-quarter, Oct., Nov., Dec., Jan., Feb., Mar., April...
Where's the beef (jewelry)?
Anyone hear of the little boy who cried wolf?
(No offense intended to little boys or wolves.)
I wish the under water longs would post some facts and not just wishful thinking with their hopes and dreams.
Has anyone considered why Crayola wasn't licensed by a fine jewelry company in the past. Maybe because all the big players didn't think the brand would work for fine jewelry. But then Steven Zale / Zalemark comes along and gives Crayola money and promises. And then the big stud Steven Zale does what he always does...he can't perform. He can't even get his stock to rise. This has got to be messing with his head.
Always excuses and delays.
Barchart.com: 13 Popular Analytics still say Zalemark=STRONG SELL.
Of course the Barchart analysts would say that. No sales, HUGE debt. And no ability to pay their minimum quarterly financial obligations to Crayola or Mars/M&M's.
And now with "Officer Changes" to Zalemark...(I think Caren Currier is resigning...only my opinion) more shakeups coming, and the first quarter financials due out soon...NO GOOD NEWS IS COMING SOON!
Did Zalemark move into the Super Bell office?
ZMRK had made that announcement earlier this year. But the extension document that Caren Currier signed last Friday still stated the old Sherman Oaks address. How can that be? Was that another stupid mistake by Ms. Currier or maybe they didn't make the move.
"Also, on April 1, Zalemark will relocate from its current headquarters in Sherman Oaks, Calif. to downtown Los Angeles, where it will share the 20th floor of the City National Bank building with Super Bell."
Maybe it just was more Zalemark B.S.!
Telltale signs of an impending bankruptcy. Part 4.
All of the signs lead to a Zalemark bankruptcy.
From a USA Today article by financial writer Matt Krantz.
•Notice of alternative strategies. When business continues to worsen, the company is faced with the uncomfortable situation of seeing what options it has. You'll typically see a very cryptically written press release that says the company is pursuing "strategic alternatives." The company often tries to imply it might be bought, but usually the odds of that are small.
•Press release discussing debt restructuring.These press releases try to put a positive spin on a dismal event. Typically, they discuss how the company will be looking to lower its debt load. That's good news for the company, but bad news for shareholders because it means they will likely lose everything.
As you can see, there are many phases of the typical company's downward spiral before shareholders are wiped out. It can take years for a company to cycle through all the steps, giving investors who are paying attention plenty of time to get out. Yes, there are exceptions and some companies can fall apart much faster. Companies like Lehman collapsed in weeks not years.
Even so, if you're going to invest in individual stocks, you need to bear the risk that a company you own may fail. You need to pay attention, or take the unnecessary risk of losing it all.
Telltale signs of an impending bankruptcy. Part 3.
All of these signs point to a Zalemark bankruptcy.
From a USA Today article by financial writer Matt Krantz.
•Rising interest expenses as a percentage of revenue. Companies don't automatically go bankrupt, even if they're losing money. What does them in is that debt loads that looked fine when things were going good, suddenly turn onerous as revenue and profit falls. The tipoff is interest expense rising as a percentage of revenue.
•The management shuffle. As a company starts running into more serious trouble, the board and investors start looking for people to blame. Typically, you'll start to see lots of turnover at the top ranks, as investors look for a quick fix. Getting delisted from a major exchange, like the New York Stock Exchangeor Nasdaq, is typically common at this phase, too.
•The auditor shuffle. Once the board realizes that the problem isn't the CEO, but the company's business model, things have already deteriorated significantly. Typically, at this point you'll see notices in the annual report and other regulatory filings that the company has replaced or disagreed with its accountants and auditors. This is a very bad sign.
Telltale signs of an impending bankruptcy. Part 2.
All of these signs point to a Zalemark bankruptcy.
From a USA Today article by financial writer Matt Krantz.
•Rapidly decelerating earnings growth. Typically, the companies that face the risk of bankruptcy are the ones that see their business rapidly evaporate. This can be due to a variety of reasons, but the first tell-tale sign is clear: decreasing earnings growth. Companies will try to hide the fact their earnings growth is slowing, usually by bragging about posting "record" earnings. But when you see the slowdown, that's you're first tip off of trouble. Typically, you'll also see the stock start to sell off, another warning.
•Rise of losses. It's one thing for a company to mature, and settle on a slower rate of growth. But it's quite another when you see a slowdown worsen into actual net losses. Look at the bottom line in the income statement, for net loss. When you see a net loss, you should be ready to sell your stake of a company, unless you have a good reason to think it's temporary.
Again, companies will try to hide their losses, often talking about "pro forma" or "adjusted earnings" that strip out costs. Some companies might also focus on revenue. Investors are usually not fooled, and push the stock even lower.
Telltale signs of an impending bankruptcy. Part 1.
All of these signs point to a Zalemark bankruptcy.
From a USA Today article by financial writer Matt Krantz.
"It's amazing how many individual investors seem to be caught off guard when a company files for bankruptcy protection. With few exceptions, investors usually have both unofficial and official notifications when something bad is going to happen to a company.
Let's first be clear. When you invest in a company, you are a partial owner of that firm. If a company is looking to file for bankruptcy protection, owners are not only informed of this decision, they are part of the decision.
Typically, when it looks like a company isn't going to able to afford the interest payments on its debt, and look to seek bankruptcy protection, owners are informed. When the restructuring deal is negotiated with creditors, stockholders have a table at the talks.
HOWEVER, keep in mind that when a company is defaulting on its debts, the shareholders don't have much say. That's because in the buffet line for assets, common shareholders bring up the rear. Shareholders only have claims to assets after all other creditors are paid, and that includes bondholders, suppliers and employees. Because of this, shareholders usually get all but wiped out as part of these restructurings.
That's why if you're going to invest in individual stocks, it's important to watch for signs that almost always serve as a harbinger of trouble. Here's what to look for so you don't end up being wiped out as part of a bankruptcy restructuring:"
Part 2 will be posted next.
On the last financial statement; one person bought 1,250,000 shares of restricted stock at $0.02 per share.
In addition, over 3,500,000 shares were given out in lieu of payments. Zalemark didn't have funds to pay anyone so they traded the monies that were due for restricted stock. All of the above transactions were at $0.02. The debt conversions were on October 19th, November 24th and the beginning and end of December. The purchase was October 19.
So instead of getting payment for loans, invoices, work, etc., these people and entities got stock at a value of $0.02. Of course these people are unhappy. The stock that these people and entities have received is now sub penny with no chance to get higher. So this brings me around to the "officer changes" filing extension. There are only three officers listed at year end;
Raymond Ruiz - President and CEO
Caren Currier - Controller / Secretary/Treasurer
Ernest Martel - COO/CIO
Did someone say "enough is enough" and throw in the towel? I hope so.
As far as I am concerned, these three people are as inept and stupid as the con-man clown Steven Zale.
Barchart-Technical-Opinion: 13 Popular Analytics = STRONG SELL!
Friday it was just a "Sell". Today it's a strong sell.
When I first came here in August of last year I stated I didn't see any substance to this stock. I had read their current and then previous financials and I read all the PR and news announcements. I stated then that the PPS wouldn't hold up and I also predicted that the stock would be trading sub penny by year end.
"Notification of Late Filing" doesn't make sense. Here's-why:
Zalemark has 45 days after the quarter to file.
That means they have up to May 15, 2016, to file WITHOUT needing an extension. Or possibly, May 16 as the 15th is a Sunday.
The notification was signed on April 29th by Caren Currier. And released today, May 2nd.
Ms. Currier also filled in the required "estimated filing date" as: May 10th.
The only reason I can think of, that made her do that is; STUPIDITY!
There is absolutely no reason at all to file an extension with an estimated completion date that is earlier than the date the forms are required. It's just not necessary if you are going to file before that due date.
I keep saying all the sweat equity people are inept as well as the clown Steven Zale...this is just more proof of that.
Zalemark filed an extension for their quarterly report.
Stating:
"There was a corporate officer change within the Corporation and we need additional time for filing."
I thought they had 45 days to file after the quarter ended.
Sorry Mick; you, nor your posts-make any-sense to-me. I don't know how to respond to you.
AND, first-quarter financials due out within two weeks.
Will Zalemark mention the JTV lawsuit?
Looking forward to reading it. Maybe there will be a mention of why no retailers purchased the Crayola or M&M jewelry collections.
And will they take out the defunct entities that are no longer in business.
And also clean up the typo on: Arrangements / Arraignments
Why would-you "bet" on-a-company which is-led-by-a drug-dealing ex-con-felon that hasn't had a successful business endeavor EVER. And did I mention; he was arrested for embezzlement along with his wife. Certainly Crayola and Mars/M&M's didn't dig deep enough into Steven Zales background.
It's been almost one year now since the Crayola jewelry was "debuted" to retailers and nothing has been sold. Even the most die hard cheerleaders have to admit the product is a dud. Stop making excuses for Steven Zale. His branding concept didn't work. He should have spent the $8,000,000 that he "urinated" away on better design, merchandising and promotion of the product. Instead he spent it on promoting the stock and conning the investors. A textbook example of an inept business leader. And the "whales" who each gave him over $1,000,000...what were you thinking? I guess greed comes with blinders.
Consensus: Downward Trend Continues. No Sales-No Profits-HUGE LOSSES.
Even the "Dumb and Dumber" desperate underwater chart guys posted candlestick charts that showed Zalemark to be VERY BEARISH and also another post where 13 analytics stated SELL.
I guess they didn't look that closely at those charts prior to posting.
BONESPUR's post #5753 says it so succinctly.
"The link to Zales other failed companies is in the stickies.
Past indicates future. I would not deal with any professional that has that many failures.
It's like letting a doctor operate on you when he has never had a successful operation."
Well said BONESPUR!
Mick: All public companies do "filings". Not-all are-audited. Zalemark does not have audited financial statements.
Zalemark needs complete audited financials plus other necessary documents submitted before Kodiak would trade stock for funding. Zalemark doesn't have a strong financial balance sheet to warrant the funding. They are underwater by $8,000,000. Plus the fact that the price per share is so depressed (because of lack of sales and profits) that there is no equity to secure the borrowed funding or even trading the stock for much needed cash.
Bottom line: No Kodiak funding. No audited financials. No uplisting. Zalemark is burdened with too much debt.
Debunking the "Signs (Audit) Engagement Letter" myth:
What-a-joke. Zalemark stated-that first in 2010 and continued to say that up to and including that November 2015 announcement.
Why spend the money for an audit when you have nothing to audit. Don't you think Zalemark should spend the money on trying to get bonafide orders from major retailers first? The only reason Zalemark was going to get audited was so they could trade stock for much needed cash from Kodiak. That can't happen until the stock price is much higher. And the stock price is not going higher until Zalemark has legitimate sales and profits. And that won't happen as they have too much debt to propel this company forward. They are in quicksand and rapidly sinking deeper.
$ZMRK is-out-of-money: "Cash is King" and Zalemark is-a-pauper.
ZMRK-re-cap: no-sales. high-debt, dilution, JTV-lawsuit, inept-leader = PPS-drop.
No wishful thinking here...just facts.
There is-no operating-capital. Only continuing-losses. Bankruptcy-is inevitable.
Super-Bell & Zalemark ride-in on-their white-horses to-save-the "ailing-independents". What a laugh.
I just re-read the press release. So Steven Zale and Lo Huang combined their parallel paths to support the ailing independent retail jewelers.
What a joke. How are they going to do that? Only with "wishful thinking".
They got together about a year ago and nothing happened...even though investors were promised a Crayola launch in the third quarter of last year. The jewelry being shown is "laughable" certainly not "saleable".
The proof is that no retailers purchased it. The styles and pricing aren't compelling enough to get any retailers OR consumers to buy it. It's not fine jewelry. There are way too many other better and well positioned jewelry brands to compete with. The retailer just doesn't need what Zalemark has to offer. Plus the fact of being associated with a known drug dealer who hasn't had a successful business is just not good business sense.
So Steven Zale is again doing what he knows how to do best; losing money. As my research and PROPER due diligence show; he has always lost money. I can read and understand financial statements and I can also read and see through B.S. press releases. Zalemark is a losing company...always has been. Steven Zale (an ex con that was sentenced to three years in prison for selling huge amounts of cocaine and arrested for embezzlement) has bankrupt and also closed numerous business's and left HUGE unpaid obligations. He is inept. And so are the other "sweat equity" people in the Zalemark organization. It's obvious, as they can't get "real paid employment" any where else. And the longer they rely on Steven Zale, it just fortifies their ineptness. Who would hire them with their track record. Either they have been "had" or they are part of this scam.
Smart investors know this. They are not about to put hard dollars into Zalemark. No "whale" is going to invest without seeing a potential profit. They don't invest in "wishful thinking". The whales eat the small fish investor. There is just to much debt to overcome.
No-Kodiak-Funding, No Audit, No-Crayola or M&M-Sales. No-Profits. Only-Losses.
The press releases won't get the PPS to rise. Only legitimate sales and profits will do that.
Desperate underwater investors will post old press releases that have never come to fruition.
This company is led by the most inept loser...Steven Zale. Read the annual financial statement. Over an $8,000,000 LOSS in net income and negative retained earnings.
You can't recover that much money. Bankruptcy looms.
Zalemark-executives: Mr.-Martel & Mr.-Ruiz aren't-you-tired of-your sweat-equity position?
Tell that clown Steven Zale that it's over with. The problem with you guys is that you waited to long. You are not hire-able when Zalemark goes BK. You really must be an embarrassment to your families. Working for no money. But to me it's more having your name tarnished by the stigma of the association to Steven Zale and Zalemark. Look at all the monies you got people invested and loaned into Zalemark. You guys screwed up...admit it, and move on with your lives. Steven Zale is not going to support you. He can't support himself legitimately. He's through. It's over. Turn the lights out and lock the door as you leave. You will sleep better...
The silence from Zalemark, Steven-Zale and-the cheerleaders is-quite-deafening.
You would think after everything that I have posted plus what I-Glow has uncovered and posted...that the loyal, faithful, desperate, underwater, naive longs would have something to say. They can't tell us a single store that Crayola or M&M jewelry is in. It's Mother's Day next weekend...wouldn't you think we would be hearing something? But no, it's always "have patience". Or, "good news is coming soon". Or, "whatever". Not what I would call astute investment phrases. Or, as another naive investor states "this stock is heading north and buy now or you will be chasing it later". It's the same thing he has been saying since I found this board in August of last year. Can't they just man up and say they were wrong and now it's time to move on. The critical thinking of these investors is just not there.
You can lead a naive investor to water and he will drown.
