Last minute small bid whacks. Someone is desperately trying to keep this share price down.
Except it wasn't about an art "video on demand" site, the actual article was an Art movie LABEL. Meaning they are going to simply release those type of movies, and would actually be a possible customer of VODWiz... not a competitor. lol.
Except that isn't a VOD portal, it's a film label (even says so in the article!!), and exactly the type of company that would put it's library on VODwiz! Thanks, I'll forward that to Eric asap.
Sounds more like a weak rumor to try and scare people away from buying. If the actual attempt to start a sell off by knocking the ask way low didn't work, I don't see how the threat of doing it again is going to work. LOL. Running out of ways to hold this down it seems.
Of course it was obvious, it was also expected. Which is why I was waiting for it, as were a few others. Too bad he didn't try to give away more shares... we had a lot more money waiting to buy even more than we got.
I agree. Looking at the charts you have, it's clear we have a huge opportunity here.
It's not troubling at all, they weren't asked that question. They were asked a different question which they then answered.
;) Love those cheapies!
Maybe in some alternate reality, but in this reality the TA proves that "assumption" to be completely incorrect. Funny how the standard criticism when something is late or not released yet (quarterlies, valuation, attorney letter, etc) that it's because "they don't want the facts out" or it's "bad", yet when it is released there was nothing to ever support all that doom and gloom.
It happened. Almost no brokerage accepts transfers of penny stocks any more. You can buy penny stocks THROUGH them, but not transfer to them. Fidelity screwed people because their account transfer dept and risk management dept don't work together. They accepted transfers before risk management looked at them. So once RM looked at them they booted the accounts. You had to either transfer out to someone else or take certificates. The problem is no one else would take the transfers (Schwab did for a few people, but not everyone) and penny certificates are not accepted by almost anyone, thus making them worthless as you'd never be able to sell them. So people were stuck having to liquidate, open a new account somewhere else, deposit the cash, and buy back.
Call TDAmeritrade, Etrade, Scottrade, Zecco, etc and ask them if they accept transfers of penny stocks. They will tell you "No".
The only exception has been a couple brokerages would take them if you had a significant percentage of your account in cash or big board stocks. I believe Etrade wanted 75% cash/big board stocks to take pennies.
It was a good meeting, very open and transparent. Pretty transparent in how a few people attempted to trash the company in chat. They must really want to buy cheap shares badly before it takes off to go to that length. LOL
It's just the marketing/graphics/promotion division, most likely similar to how Truman Press is their book division.
I'll be recording it again this year most likely. Had some problems last year at first but they kept the video up on the site for a while. So you should have no problem watching it on replay.
Welcome aboard Martin.
Why do you think the person that is loading up the ask to hold this down asked Clay to do a chart claiming that very thing and didn't go into all the other details he normally does? That video was created entirely for an agenda of one person, a person who happens to be friends with Clay. None of the other scare tactics have worked so far, this was just another lame attempt to scare people out of shares.
Check out the paint job trying to keep it down. LOL.
You should clarify in your updates for anyone new to the board that those numbers are only for your small grocery store chain, and not total Turtle DVD sales for Hannover House, which are much higher.
I'll simply state what my experience was with some of the Brokerage issues. I, and a few others, decided to move our accounts from Zecco to another broker due to Penson (that clears for Zecco) starting a new policy that some non-DTC eligible stocks could incur a fee up to $700 for transactions, but they wouldn't tell you which stocks would get hit with those fees till after. So we decided to move. The problem is with the new rules the SEC is putting on brokerages, few would accept transfers of penny stocks. Fidelity claimed they would, so we transferred. They accepted our transfer from Zecco. Then about two weeks later they closed all the accepted accounts and told us we had two weeks to go somewhere else or liquidate.
We called everyone and only Schwab would accept the accounts. I have not had a problem since being at Schwab, nor have a few others. But a few did get their accounts closed for the same reason Fidelity closed them (too much of the account in penny stocks). With no one left to transfer to, the ones closed at Schwab had to sell everything, withdraw the cash, then move the cash to another broker, and buy back.
TDAm, Etrade, Schwab, Fidelity etc have no problem with you BUYING penny stocks with them, they just won't take TRANSFERS... and Fidelity screwed everyone by accepting the transfers before deciding to reject them.
The few that I know that got closed by Schwab have already bought back in. I can't speak for Ryan, as I really haven't asked him.
It has nothing to do with TDGI, it simply has to do with the entire penny stock market and the SEC now shifting some responsibilities from the DTC to brokerages, and brokerages deciding they won't accept ANY penny stock transfers. I would suggest anyone looking for a new broker that you don't transfer pennies. You'll need to wait till you sell, then move the cash.
Sure seems like someone sold for tax loss purposes last month and now that the 30 day wash rule is passed, they are trying to get in as cheap as they can before it goes up.
That theater average is deceptive, because two screens were "one show only" strictly for Academy members. So it was effectively only 3 theaters, not 5 for a per screen dollar average.
The theater in Times Square was a bust, but the other two theaters it ranked #2 in the theater.
You must not have been paying attention then because it was mentioned in the past, including at the shareholder meeting last year.
That's not accurate. They reduced the AUTHORIZED share count by 93% from 10 billion to 700 million, as they said they had no reason to have such a high A/S.
They are releasing the DVD FOR MGM and getting a cut off the top of each DVD/BluRay/VOD sold, just like Fox is doing for us with Twelve. So yes. The shortfall guarantee is still covered by MGM and in effect.
This huge deal has really thrown a wrench in my planning on when to sell. I originally got in just to ride the correction back into the $2's... with this new deal, it's made it a bit more complicated.
This was a nice way to start the day!
Looks like it's running all week starting Friday, at 5 showings per day.

They don't "have" to wait 31 days if they don't have or don't need to take a tax loss. If they don't have gains to offset then there isn't a big point of just carrying over a loss to next year then when you can just Wash Rule it and apply it when you eventually do sell.
That's pretty good for a grocery store that generally wouldn't have people going to in order to buy DVD's.
Megan Ellison owns the rights. She's the daughter of Larry Ellison, billionaire and founder of Oracle.
Lots of good info there.
I'm interested in the details on:
TDAmeritrade has always done that. So has Scottrade and Etrade. TDAm has a list somewhere even listing the ones on restriction. I lost the link but I'm sure their CS can give it to you.
If you sell and buy right back in you can't claim the tax loss anyway as it would be under the Wash Rule. You'd have to wait 30 days, and you only get a portion of your loss back from the write off depending on your tax bracket. The "year end tax loss selling" thing is a common myth pushed around on every board, yet it rarely has ever had an effect on any of the stocks I've seen it mentioned on. TDGI last year went up signficantly at the end of the year despite claims of "tax loss selling" as something that people should worry about.
It isn't different. HH is selling the DVD's through the partnership deal. SeaWorld is simply contributing to the advertising end of it. HH is the one doing the distribution of the SeaWorld Pictures films.
Schwab has also closed down a few accounts that transferred in penny stocks.
It appears no one is going to accept penny stock transfers anymore. You can trade penny stocks while at those brokers, but they will not accept transfers IN of penny stocks.
So anyone wanting to move is going to need to just move cash. No more moving shares.
Yes that works, but I disagree with your opinion. Just because they would merge doesn't change the fact that they still wouldn't have a merchant account with the big retailers who aren't taking more accounts. Just because they merged wouldn't change anything. So if they wanted to distribute their own DVDs they would have to buy someone who could. Otherwise they would have to continue subing it out to Universal, Fox, Sony, etc. In fact, if they merged that would only increase the odds in my opinion. With over a billion dollars in DVD sales, even a 5% fee rate to Universal is $50 million. They could likely pay half that to buy TDGI and pocket the rest, then do all the distributing directly and save every year onward.
Not saying it will ever happen, but it's possible.
What am I supposed to see there? I see no article, just a busted up page. And the Summit / Lionsgate merger talk was from 2008.
Either way, neither of them have merchant accounts. Both of them have to distribute through Universal, Sony, or Fox.
I still think TDGI is most likely to be bought out by the likes of Summit Entertainment, if it happens. Summit Entertainment is one of the few film makers/distributors that do NOT have merchant accounts with the major retailers, and is thus locked out of selling their own DVD/Blurays. Currently they have Universal distributing their movies, including the Twilight series that has sold $500 million in DVDs so far... wonder how much they are giving up in fees to Universal on that half a billion dollars? Lionsgate also releases through Universal, Sony, and Fox.
Yeah, that was great. Glad the manipulator got caught trying to play his games.
