hey can ayonetell me if the claim these guys are working was ever owned by union pacific?
How bout a head shot from the CEO....?!?!?!?
"Aaron / Angel Stanz is not hard to find, he is 6 feet 1 with long dreadlocks, and piercings throughout his face"
Mr. Stanz, please adress this issue.
...or asset sale. which, according to some, can only pay off a few senior noteholders... problem with that thinking is: senior notes aren't due til 2016.
dead, defunct? ha. no it's not.
an asset sale would require a shareholder vote (shareholders with voting rights) and i do not know if the there would be an announcement prior to this kind of vote or not. maybe someone else on the board knows?
an asset sale instead of a merger/acquisition could retire all of ANTS' debt and include a one-time dividend to shareholders.
as far as the stock is concerned, an asset sale could be good for the stock since a) the pps is already in the can and b) there is the possibility of positive guidance regarding the company moving in a new direction.
my 2 cents anyway..
Agreed. Joseph Kozak has clearly been under a lot of pressure and has had to take steps that I'm sure he would rather not have had to. For instance, litigation, private placements, disgruntled employees, lackluster sales... I mean, the guy deserves a medal for toughing it out the way he has... and really, it is no wonder that it has so far taken nearly a year to sort out all the drama. I praise Kozak for standing tough through it all and I believe he has the flexibility to negotiate the best possible arrangement for himself, IBM, and ANTS common stock holders.
...and lastly, I do believe ANTS has been sold into oblivion due in part to impatience on behalf of some.
GLTA this post is only my opinion... I am long ANTS.
Wouldn't the patents surrounding the technology themselves be the assets in question..?
tigerpac why do you think that an asset sale would generate only enough proceeds to pay back a few senior noteholders?
of course she can't confirm that statement! GLTU sir!
ummm last time I checked - any "insider" trading on non-public information would be risking forfeiture of any proceeds in addition to imprisonment, reputation and career destruction, legal fees, etc... that'd be enough to make most think twice, no?
Please, be my guest! Here's the thought process I went through:
A) http://www.ants.com/ants.com/index.php/contact-us
B) maps.google.com
C) input: 2040 Briggs Rd. Suite B Mt. Laurel, NJ 08054
D) Call "CSDP" at (856) 235-5222 and see if the receptionist tells you the same thing or not...
E) Notice that HP happens to be right next door.... that's an awesome coincidence....
GLTA
Everything I post is my opinion and that's all!
....
I think the posters who have commented about LinkedIn and the relevancy of updated profiles is important here:
On LinkedIn I found many former employees of ANTS who have recently moved on to other companies... the companies these folks now work for are in the top echelons of the tech world... I also found some ANTS employees who are still listed as being employed at ANTS - including Mr. Kozac who is currently listed as Chairman and CEO at ANTS Software... and who, I might add, recommended a former ANTS employee on LinkedIn as recently as 02/20/2012...
...
Due to the fact that I have been getting pummelled in this stock since I bought well into the pennies a month or so ago... I understandably started getting nervous. Not unlike some that we have seen posting here today, I decided to get on the phone.
But I didn't call ANTS.
I called an unrelated business/organization operating adjacent to Inventa's physical address. I engaged with the receptionist at this business/organization in a polite, light-hearted conversation (I clearly had accidentally called the wrong number). She seemed to recall the company I was asking about... in fact, she told they had been neighbors.
Well, of course I wanted to know the correct phone number to get ahold of them.. So I asked... and unfortunately, I was told that they had moved out a few months ago.
...Well how could I get ahold of them? (was my next question)
So I asked... and I was put on hold while she transferred me to the lady in her office that would "know where they moved to"...
So... I sat on hold for a few minutes and then the same receptionist lady picked back up and said to me:
"I'm sorry, they were bought by another company a few months ago..."
Please draw your own conclusions, I am long ANTS, and my opinion is expressed above.
I don't practice Santeria
I ain't got no crystal ball
Well I had a million dollars but I...
I invested it in ANTS! lol
Exactly..................................................................... personally, I believe news forthcoming - if not tomorrow then fine, I'll happily buy next week ya dig..
crickets up in this ant hill. wheres the love!? i suppose i could maybe be a little off, but i see a close over .05 tomorrow ;) GLTA
LOL yeeeeeeeah boyeeeeeeee i say next week 00's on tap son

i don't have deep enough pockets to be picking up half mill blocks but i added some and i think this is a great place to get in. go ANTS GLTA
shake shake shake ... something's in the works here ... wish i had more ammo.

Did you know that the fed cant shut down dispensaries anymore?
Huh? Please post a link to this information... What law is stopping the federal govt. from shutting down dispensaries? If you are referring to the executive order from the president... then sorry, that's not law.
from http://www.legalmatch.com/law-library/article/federal-marijuana-laws.html ...
Umm - no.
This co. (I'm sick of this "RI@@" BS.. we're all talking about BGMT so) ...
- has no verifiable financial statements;
- has at least 2.6 - 3.2 BILLION shares trading on the market;
- holds no patents that I am aware of;
- is in danger of breaking federal law by receiving and storing weed;
- is run by some cat who has previously ran a BS phone bill scam;
- has absolutely nothing to do with Einstein;
- operates in an industry that is dominated by Mexican drug cartels;
- need I go on?
There are major risks to your capital here. And there is no guarantee of anything.
...lol but that's why we are here.
yes indeed. but the next 'news' is going to be a final buyout announcement and so it will be too late for anyone else to get in at that point IMO. go ANTS!
Thank you... I do hope you will share that ticker with me so I can contrast the two. Have a great weekend my friend ... go RIGH!
Thank you... I appreciate your comment. I agree that .01+ is possible. However - and I would like to hear your comments and opinion on this - I do think that if and when this hits the pennies a RS may happen... there may well be more than just hype around their "$4.20" animated price target.. thoughts ladies and gents?
...but does the 'similar company' have somewhere between 2.5 and 3.2 billion O/S?
hahaaaa... well, I'm definitely not bailing so you won't be buying my shares...
my patience here is wearing quite thin... following this stock the past few weeks has been like watching paint dry. but of course, I know that if I bail it will go up. SPAH
Niiiiice move LoLo.
hey Cube, I'm still here. Boys I think next week is gonna be some fun. Ants on the moon.
ironbro, ASSUMING a buyout occurred in late 2011, can you (or any other board posters with knowledge) please help explain what the three or four most likely potential outcomes will be for us common stock holders when the announcement is made?
I would sincerely appreciate anyone's input here because I don't even come close to fully understanding this process and its potential pros and cons. TIA
Danster, sorry i meant no disrespect or hostility... it's just my opinion that the evidence suggests that ANTS is in the process of being bought - and correct me if I am wrong but if this is the case then the ticker won't be trading in 3 months.... same result in 3 months if there is an insolvency... that's all. glty
thanks for your comments ironman, i also see evidence that Kozak remains involved.
why would ANTS enter an agreement that only gives them 20 days to find a buyer unless they already had suitors?
I can't wait until this stock is in the pennies... just curious though... how did you come up with .1207?
I expect earnings to show that the co. is operating as a going concern - something that has been called into question on this board.
ANTS has until 03/08/2012 to release their overdue earnings.. anyone who panics before then will most likely be falling into a "warlock" trap...
