I have a bait and tackle shop on Lake Okeechobbee for sale if you are interested..
New building, apartment, guide service...
Looking to retire to Florida... great deal..
ok... night all...
Say Hi to Jack for me.. I've been hanging with the Captain! Cheers!
Ditto... same plan here. cash out at 1m and play with the rest..
We are going to have some fun! about time you showed up tonight! Just when I am headed to bed. I was wishing webprods would show up but he didn't :(
Oh well....
Talk at ya tomorrow..
Minutes away.. Will be down there tomorrow!
have a good one.
I'm off to bed!
whats a dark room? I shoot state of the art digital baby! Hell yes I've flipped! That's how the game is played! If you sit and watch this board for hours a day, and don't make money, you are a fool! I've made my original investment back times 3. Then reinvested the extra earnings only to turn it over again and grab a larger position. Lather, rinse, repeat!
Play the game.
Your always here talking trash. If we did a case study, I bet the majority of your posts (the few you can afford each day) are negative and rude. That's what upset me. yes, EVERYONE has a right to speak their minds - that's what the falg stands for... However your blatent disrespect for them members of this board is uncalled for and you will be called on it everytime!
Its funny you post crap and then when people call you on it, you won't respond. All you do is start trouble.
I never said anything about a TOS.. might have thought about someone being a POS but never called you on it..
But as of now, you are the mayor of IGGYVILLE! Population Bashers! enjoy!
I'll think that after we cross the penny mark. Hell, I ain't greedy. I'll be VERY happy with .10
I have not seen where those charts have shown us anything BKMP was going to do except fill the cup with coffee and bless it with a golden cross.
see, and I thought that was near LA! See, I not only sucked at math, but geography!
I am southof Boca and north of Lauderdale..
Just voted one of the ten best cities to live in or something like that... I know I love it! Great place for kids to grow up!
I know Ocala! Not too far.. just far enough not to be close by...
North West of Lauderdale in Coral Springs.
That's deep. guess you can't afford a membership huh? Guess you shouldn't bash a stock you are invested in if you need the money!
What you don't get is that I've made PLENTY of money already on BKMP and I'm playing for free on their dime! How the hell are you helping me at all? I don't need your warnings.. I don't want your BS! I don't need to look anywhere but in my account to see that I don't need your advice and neither does anyone else on this board. I was talking about RAS. You haven't been here long enough to disrespect him. I reserve that right! and I am ashamed to say I used it once! (closest you'll get to an apology from me Ras)
However pal, I don't have the wrong guy. I've been watching your posts since you started bashing here and hate the fact that we were in the same profession together. Your stories must have been horrid. You can't seem to get your facts straight! Maybe that's why you had to switch to broadcast TV.. Found a job where facts don't matter.
I will enjoy your postless Sunday! I'm sure the rest of the board will too.
WGAS ... it was some friggin trade..
I hate it when I let douche bags like that get me all fired up!
I got the number right.. That;s the important thing right??? :)
Its you that is exciting everyone.... what r u doing up so late???
art, the question came up because of what Ameritrade is showing outstanding for BKMP .018 billion.
Just because the divy came and went doesn't mean they cleared up all of the shorts does it? If that is all that is left in the float, this price should rise with very little movement.. correct???? That is why he asked the question. A chance to learn something...
Take all the cheap shots you want about digital pal... I'm crippled for life from shooting news all over the world. I've been to places you can only dream about! Shooting news in Michigan is like taking a tick off a dogs ass. What news do they have up there??
Come to a real market or don't have the skills???
You have a small amount... whats that... two shares??
get a life.. your gig is up.. everyone on this board knows what you are about.
Funny thing is.... I take pictures because I LIKE to take pictures, not because I have to! My camera probably cost more than your car. At least its mine. Just like this stock. I take ownership in it because I can afford to. Doesn't sound like you can say the same.
This converstaion is over.
how can you say that Art? please explain why you would say that..
Thanks
as a fellow photog I am embarressed that you come on here and claim to be from the same profession I lived my life for..
You bash the one guy on here that kills himself (ras) for the betterment of the board, you have nothing nice to say about the company ever.... and I may have taken your post the wrong way.. If I did, I apologize! However, I hate anything negative it ruins my buzz that I worked so hard to achieve this evening! as a photog, you should well understnd the importance of a good buzz!!! so... I will give you the benefit of the doubt.... say I am being too critical and say I am sorry if I was wrong.. But it does seem to me that a lot of people on here think you are a basher. So, please lighten up!
Thanks.
mama raised an ugly child, not a fool. all shares are free and clear.. playing on house money is a no brainer! so far have played this to perfection.. Could lose it all and still walk away with decent cash already in pocket, or can hit the BKMP lottery! Guess we'll soon see.
take a hike you loser. Dont let the door hit you in the ass.
You are wasted sperm.. All you have done tonight is try to pick fights and start crap! Why? get off on it? have nothing better to do with your loser pathetic life?
If you don't like the stock, GTFO! But please quit being a jerk and leave us alone.
Sorry, I have ten times that many that I got for free. I'll just wait until they come of age! Shouldn't be too long!
sure, how much for how much?
He's saying you are gullable and he is taking a slap at us for thinking this is a good company to invest in. If he was any good at what he does, he wouldn't need to work or sell the land. Pure basher... He's tired of taking cheap shots at Ras and has no one else to fight with...
Don't give him the time of day..
Ras would have to answer that. I defer to him being the expert on that. My guess would be that there would have to be a ton of shorts in order for that to happen.
Then they would have to be covered... The price would go up until people wanted to sell them. Way UP! Like a PAIM situation...
That's my guess.
start looking!
Oh well.. I WILL FIND HER and bring her along!
I don't care where she is, I'm bribing her to come along... didn't want my name on there so I don't get slammed by the femanazis on here!

whats that supposed to mean Bud???
Friday is supposed to be the day right?
According to Mike, all the news will come on the 22nd.
What do you think that news will contain? Buyback is done? US Deal on Direct or Dish, TW or Comcast??? PPV deal with Pride?? Fight Store line in Walmart??? What is your guess?
What kind of cookie are you offering????
Maybe... I'm thinking the Pride PPV deal coming to US.. That is just my guess... Maybe a radio deal...
Don't know.
We'll see.
anytime. Hopefully this will be the Mack Daddy of all TGIF's!
If not a lot of people will be very upset! But we will wait and see.
Pittsburgh on Monday night.
Braden... Friday is the 1 year ann. of TFN and they have promised to deliver news that should make us happy and get this pps. moving!
Hope that answers your question.
Exactly! The point is, there is soooo much good that can come from this with a little brainstorming, the bashers have to go away. Yes, it dropped to .0005 at one point BFD! Its done that before but will go back up. Is there anyone on this board that believes for a second it won't go back up after readin this board today???
If so, I feel sorry for them. Something big is out there... Just wish we would know already!
anyone know the first official day of winter in Canada?
Wouldn't be Sept 22nd would it????
Just trying to make people think. I sure ain't no expert, but throw enough crap against the wall, something is bound to stick and the rest will come out in the wash!
I'm inspired!
I wish I could take all the credit... But I have a 'deep-throat' type source that keeps putting ideas in my head!
Hit that what??? oH asK! When I think about her I thought you wanted to hit something else! My bad..
Sorry!
Here is some DD (How about that RAS! Me with DD!)
about the funding behind Setanta Sports...
also, a friend pointed out that Setanta has PPV outlets all over the world... even in Ireland! Imagine TFN in pubs with a bunch of drunk Irishmen! That alone will be worth it!

4378Ok, here are some more dots to consider....
If you want to think about who would want to buy this company, you need look no further than our business partners..
Here is another "out of the box" idea.
Setanta is adding Setanta sports package 3 to uk. What is in that package?
Could Setanta be onto something through the back door being as they are the mobile connection to us?
They have world wide connections and are well financed.
Since they are so involved with TFN, they can't ignore the enormous potential this station has... Therefore, with the right financial backing, there could be a takeover bid from them so they can add TFN to their stable of broadcast outlets.
I am not the only one who finds it interesting that a number of our "announcers" also work for Foxs Sports. Interesting link there.
The different scenarios that can play out here are incredible when you stop and think of the money involved. None of which is bad for us as investors.
Its anybody's guess as to which way this is going, but what downside could there be? Since I put most bashers on ignore, if there are any real theories I'm missing, feel free to pass them along..
Thank you for your support!
Need all the friends I can get!
no.. just throwing out old info..
Thanks SeaBiscuit.. I do perspire a lot! bout time it paid off. Hope its somewhere close to reality..
