Salon City Magazine is nationally distributed by Time Warner Retail, a Time Warner Company (NYSE: TWX); and internationally by Kable News Distribution, an Amfar company (NYSE: AXR), in more than 20 countries around the world.
TWX is $21.03 a share today.
AXR is $45.94 a share today.
Yes, I would say that these 2 companies are "big boys."
"Anytime you find a pink with a product on the market and management that has not been in jail....it is a good bet....lol."
CMSU...nice one Mackie...needed a good laugh this morning.
News just came out...give it some time to reach all wires.
Yes, you are right. There is a mark-up so that the stores can make their money. SLON may only make a couple of dollars per magazine sold. Nonetheless, SLON is a profitable pinky with real products and growing more and more everyday...with low overhead cost which makes them even more profitable...and uplisting to next level.
Brooklyn Attitude...I enjoyed looking at your website. Nice collection of photos.
Since you know Steve and Annie, do you have any idea how big they want Salon City to become? I thought maybe you have talked to them about it. He went from wanting to distribute 1M mags a year to 2M mags.
I don't even know how big the print shop is. Don't know what capabilities that it has and how many mags it can handle printing per issue.
Just doing a bit more DD. Any info. would be greatly appreciated.

nkdroth...most of the numbers we are using are from the PR's and weekly conference calls. We were just putting them together to validate the price of the stock.
Do you think it is beneficial to know if the stock is worth .02 or .20? Absolutely...validating the PPS is our job. If my figures would have shown .02, I'd be selling tomorrow.
Last summer, SLON was over .10 for about 3 months. To say that we get back over .10 again is not far-fetched what-so-ever...and SLON has so much more going for it now compared to last summer.
As always GLTA and hope everybody enjoys the ride!
Sniper...I was going to double the add revenue but I was using the conservative old figures for 100K issues.
I was also going to use a P/E of 10, but I used 20 because SLON is due to grow so much in the next year.
Everything is merely an estimate, but it's nice to see the potential we have and it's a good way to see if we're undervalued or not. SLON is being distributed in 30 countries...that's huge and SLON will only continue to grow.
SLON REVENUES AND EARNINGS:
Here are my estimates:
200K magazines per issue X 10 issues = 2M mags sold in one year.
2M mags x $3.99 (cost to buy a mag) = $7.98M
45 ads X $10K (cost to place an ad) = $450K in ad revenue per issue.
$450K x 10 issues = $4.5M annual ad revenue
EARNINGS:
$8M yearly revenue for selling the magazines
$4.5M revenue for the ads
minus $2M for printing the mags
minus $500,000 for operating expenses
+ 10M yearly earnings
FORWARD P/E:
The projected yearly earnings is $10M and with approx. 1B shares, that comes to .01 per share.
With a P/E ratio of 20 the PPS would be .20
SLON is only going to continue to grow. The more mags that they distrubute the more they will be able to charge for ads, thus generating more revenue.
WE ARE WAY UNDERVALUED, IMO.

Volume over 500K and I'm showing all buys. This is setting up very nicely for next week. GLTA!
EMAIL FROM BLOOMFIELD:
Bloomfield Investment Club is amazed by the continued buying pressure that SLON has seen over this holiday week. When we said buy the dips we thought that there might be some stock offered as low as .028. Not a chance...no way...not gonna happen.
We gave the whole Bloomfield Staff the week off in anticipation of a very slow market and as we said in earlier alerts...SLON might possibly see some dips...healthy dips...but dips none the less. What we are seeing instead of dips is healthy consolidation and a new floor being constructed in the low .03's. If we are right in our guess of big news on Monday we might just be testing the .05 levels by next Friday. When the actual SB10 is filed we are going to see some post Fourth of July fireworks.
Hope everyone is enjoying this week, because next week it will be back to business as usual for Bloomfield.
We've had support at .03 this last week or so. Nice to possibly have a new bottom. GLTA!
I think .10 may be right on target...or maybe a bit more.
Bloomfield keeps mentioning that it could get as high as the .30's. All depends on the audited fins and uplisting.
This stock moves if you blow on it. We had 7 MM's at .039 at the EOD and 6 of them were knocked off with about 100K shares bought. I picked up a pretty good chuck this morning and it knocked off 6 MM's before I could get all of my shares.
You never know. This could really explode big time. Higher than all of our expectations.
Our magazine is sold in 4879 major outlet stores and 30 countries...if that statement doesn't make you say WOW then you are harder to please than my girlfriend
Yes, you can sign up on their website. They have been promoting SLON for months now. Go to bloomfieldinvestmentclub.com and sign up.
Normally, when Bloomfield says news on Monday, it will come no earlier. I have made bank off of Bloomfields stocks. They find out things a day or 2 before the public does. Audited fins will come out and with the uplisting coming, we are due to take off. 200% gain in the last few weeks is nothing.
IMO, much more to come...Stayeven
White Mesa Mill back in operation!
Denison Initiates Ore Buying Program for White Mesa Mill
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - July 5, 2007) - Denison Mines Corp. ("Denison" or the "Company") (TSX:DML)(AMEX:DNN) is pleased to announce the start of a uranium ore buying program to supplement feed for the Company's 100% owned White Mesa Mill in Utah. The White Mesa Mill is a 2,000 ton per day dual circuit mill and is currently the only conventional uranium mill operating in the U.S. Ore from the Company's mining operations in the U.S. is currently being stockpiled at the Mill with processing scheduled to start in the first quarter of 2008. The addition of purchased ore from third parties will maximize the efficiency of this large capacity mill. The Company anticipates purchasing approximately 40,000 tons of uranium ore per year. The ore buying schedule for the month of July is posted on the Company's website (www.denisonmines.com) and will be updated monthly.
Ron Hochstein, President and COO of Denison, commented, "This new ore buying program is the first for the White Mesa Mill since 1998. With current all time high prices, the uranium industry has been rejuvenated in the four corner states area with several mines being re-opened, including the Company's. Denison's mill is the only operating one in a 500 mile radius in the heart of the historic uranium producing district in the U.S. and we very much look forward to working with the independent miners in the region."
Denison Mines Corp. is a premier intermediate uranium producer in North America, with mining assets in the Athabasca Basin Region of Saskatchewan, Canada and the southwest United States including Colorado, Utah, and Arizona. Further, the Company has ownership interests in two of the four uranium mills operating in North America today. The Company also has a strong exploration portfolio with large land positions in the United States, Canada and Mongolia. Correspondingly, the Company has one of the largest uranium exploration teams among intermediate uranium companies.
The TA called the company and told DPAT that I requested the share structure. I then received a call from Brad at DPAT and we had a good conversation about the future of DPAT.
He did not know what the float was but did tell me that the majority of the shares are held by the dentist that are part of the company. They are resticted shares and the dentist want the company to grow and aren't intested in selling regardless of them being restricted or not.
Brad told me that the company is growing by leaps and bounds and their financials will only continue to get better.
They hired a firm to help promote the company.
He told me that within the next few years they are looking to merge with a bigger company.
Shares are tight and it has been trading sideways for quite awhile.
May be a diamond in the rough...only time will tell.

CHART for MCCY: This is the best I can do.
I saved it in my signature because I can't get the dang thing to show up in my post. Don't know what I'm doing wrong. Is there something I have to do different to post a chart in a message?
That's hilarious. You said you don't take it too well when posters bring nothing to this board with their post. You must not like yourself then because most of your post are just your normal, everyday, run of the mill post. I wouldn't put yourself down like that...not good for the self-esteem.
I'm not arguing that this merger won't happen...just that it's not happening until fall...or even winter.
(insert sarcasm) Todd, I don't take it too well when posters bring nothing to this board so I think it would be a good exercise for you to perform some DD before you waste anymore of my time...Stayeven
Hey there Todd...it was you that said "I think it would be a good exercise for you to perform some dd" after I posted the time-line. Now that I look back, you're argument was about IF the merger was going to happen, not WHEN.
Like I said, the kool-aid will turn into champaign...just not anytime soon.
No reason for me to argue you with in the first place...it's a no-win situation with you. If I say something that you don't like, even if it's factual, it won't be seen anyways.
LAKINGSPHAN...I agree with you. "Being a smart investor means not ignoring the negatives." Over the weekend I stated the obvious as to when the merger was going to happen...by putting 2 PR's together...and I got bashed on.
A lot of people on multiple forums keep pumping this thing by saying that the merger will happen in July. Read the PR's again and you'll have a good idea of when it will happen and if you can't figure it out, PM me and I'll tell you.
Until then, everybody enjoy the kool-aid...which will turn into champaign in October.
GLTA
Todd...I have performed DD on this stock, that's why I own it. I am confident that the merger will happen, but we're fooling ourselves if we think it's right around the corner, as in within the next few weeks.
I've been in for a month now and I loaded up the boat last Friday anticipating the merger. Others did the same thing and now we're stuck the mud.
I want nothing more than for FCCN to merge with AERO, that's why I bought the stock. It will take ice in the veins not to sell if it continues to sink...and with the holiday week coming, it may go lower.
"full representative quarter of financials that include the sales of these new products"
If the new product line came out in March, I would agree with you but it just came out, so it has to mean Q3.
If the merger goes through, we am going to be very wealthy...especially those who have everything invested in FCCN.
Those that are selling now are probably selling for a 50% loss...And if you're good enough at trading someone can make that up in a few days.
The merger is 3 months away. That's why it's not at .03 on the "story" alone. As an investor, I am watching my money sit here for months to come with no action, when I could be making money on other stocks. That is why people are selling, and I expect it to continue and if you look at the chart, it is downtrending, only losing us more money everyday that goes by. I haven't sold yet and am going back and forth every day. I am confident that the merger will happen, but if it falls through, there is no getting out of this alive.
This is why the merger is at least 3 months away, IMO. From the last PR:
Mr. Hunsaker stated, "It was determined that in order to continue with our schedule of product rollouts and to have a full representative quarter of financials that include the sales of these new products, rescheduling the close of Aero's acquisition by Franchise Capital would be in the best interests of both companies' shareholders.
The next quarter ends Sept, 30 and financials probably wouldn't be ready until at least a few weeks after that.
I am an optimistic person but I am also a realist. I can tell myself that it will happen sooner, then I read the PR again and Mr. Hunsaker is telling us when it will happen.
Am I way off base or does the PR tell us everything we need to know?
Any other opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Level II suggestions anyone? Had L2's through Real Fast Trader and they kept freezing up. I feel like I'm trading blind here and it's pretty boring with no L2's to look at.
55 sellers gone? Upticked to 55 and no automatic sells.
Once the sellers at .0055 are gone (flippers from this morning), I think this can still make gains today.
.0055 x .006 LII's anyone?
I agree...I think fins will come out Monday and then we are in for a pretty good run. The revenues for Q1 and Q2 will be much anticipated also.
Soccer is huge in Europe. People live and die for it. Americans think they are passionate about football...watch a soccer game in Europe and we don't hold a candle to their fans. Soccer urns, here we come.
2nd Q ends tomorrow. We'll know more about this company when the revenues for 2Q are released...should be in the next couple of weeks.
Here were the Level II's all day long. Thin on the Ask side.
Bid Size --- Ask Size
.18 5000 ---.20 5000
.18 5000 ---.25 5000
.16 5000 ---.95 5000
.15 5000 ---1.01 500 (x4)
Unfortunately we may be waiting 90 more days. I hate to admit it. I don't think I'm leaving...can't afford to sell for a big loss.
At times I think I can sell this dead money and make up the loss on other stocks. Then re-invest when the merger PR comes out...and I think that's what others are doing. I'll wait it out for now. Hopefully come up with some cashflow to pick up some cheapies if it goes lower so I can at least average down. GLTA!

Float is 12M and this info. is from shortsqueeze.com
Still waiting for a confirmation from the TA.
Yes, you are correct. Got a little ahead of myself. I will look at the numbers again.
The EPS is usually from the last four quarters (trailing P/E), but sometimes it can be taken from the estimates of earnings expected in the next four quarters (projected or forward P/E).
The projected earnings for 2007 is $2.2M (based on the 1Q revenues) and with 23.4M shares, that comes to .094 per share.
With a P/E ratio of 10 the PPS would be .94
With a P/E ratio of 22 the PPS would be $2.07
With a P/E ratio of 28 the PPS would be $2.63
(I used 22 and 28 because 2 other companies in DPAT's sector have these P/E ratios)
Am I way off base?
They plan on acquiring 20 additional practices in 2007. They have already closed on 5 dental practice purchase agreements in 2007. With 15 more to go, it is a fairly good projection that the revenues for the next 3 quarters will keep pace with the 1st Q.
I will know more after I get a call back from IR.
Contacted investor relations by phone and the IR contact was out of the office. The secretary didn't have very much to share with me and said that the IR guy would answer any questions that I had. Left a message with him and will await a call-back from him.
I have requested the complete share stucture which I hope to have back today from the TA. There is a delay because the TA needed a signed request from me.
The corporate objectives include the acquisition of 20 additional practices in 2007.
As of today, they have closed 5 dental practice purchase agreements in 2007.
