That would be up to the SEC or the DOJ to decide. They're received many complaints but whether they act is up to them. They don't possibly have enough staff to investigate each of these. The good thing is that BBDA's been associated with Hochstedler, Carnes and Powalisz amongst others so I'm sure they'll have interest over some with no nefarious connections.
lol. Good quick summary. It sounds pretty ridiculous when you just read the condensed version. No wonder people want to forget the past.
It's called the last price. If it's a sell, it's the lower number. If it's a buy, it's the higher number. There is no drop.
Remember back in the begining when BW began having someone monitor message boards checking for Deformation of Character? lol
I just see a lot of people written bad things about this stock so it's hard to know wut to believe and sort threw the BS as well and I'm also new to the msg board as well so
I think he was joking as he never left or has changed his tune. Nor has anyone else.
Huh? We're not talking CNBC, we're talking social media. Maybe you don't know what social media is. It's not CNBC, though. Or maybe your just confused. I didn't say you can't post info on those sites. I said that they could violate Reg FD by doing so. Obviously you don't know Reg FD so I'm done with this.
If it were, the SEC wouldn't be putting out guidance about it now would they. Using "I think" reasoning doesn't make it true.
Yes, it's guidance because the rules haven't been updated yet. They want to guide so companies don't use social media to accidentaly violate Reg FD! All material events need an 8-K filing. Again, I don't care about CNBC. I'm specifically talking about Social Media. You can't put out an earnings announcement on Facebook only and be in compliance with Reg FD. BBDA's CEO is walking a thin line with his posts. The operative word, though, is "Material".
Good grief. As long as the material event has been put out publicly according to SEC Reg FD guidelines such as 8-K filings, press releases or news story.

Exactly. But they're warning that they could possibly break the rules using social media. You can't tweet "We beat earnings estimates by $.30 this quarter" and leave it at that. That would have violated Reg FD. If, however, you put out a PR first, then tweet the same info it's legal.
Who cares where they get it. Obviously you're not understanding nor are familiar with Reg FD. "The public" has a definition and it isn't as broad as you think.
Here's the SEC putting out a warning to Investment Advisors on the risk of social media.
http://www.sec.gov/about/offices/ocie/riskalert-socialmedia.pdf
Facebook, while a public forum, is a membership site and not available nor used by everyone. Traditional wire services and news outlets are.
So BBDA's CEO putting out pictures of rocket ships and "game changing" posts on Facebook and Twitter is possibly violating Reg FD based on what material effect it has.
Uh, he's referring to earlier in the week and last week.
No, any public forum is not suitable to put out news. How about linking where in Reg FD or it's updates the SEC has stated that Social Media is the same as wire services and mainstream media. Thanks.
Actually, he can't. He's violating Reg FD with some of the posts and tweets. The SEC doesn't consider social media as traditional disclosure venues such as wire services, news services, etc.
They consider "BIG NEWS COMING THIS WEEK!" on twitter the same as telling an investor the same thing on the phone which could be a violation depending on how material it is. He could, however, put out a PR about something and then tweet it.
That's an old program. Pepsi Bottling and independent bottlers (not Coke) do the bottling now.
Whether the product gets produced in NC or TX makes no difference whatsoever. It still has to be produced. Bottlers come in all different sizes. I could create my own for a minimum purchase amount.
Actually, your point is moot. I was addressing logistics and regional contract bottlers which has nothing to do with how much money a company has at their disposal. It doesn't make sense to produce product in NC and ship it across the country. It does make sense to contract it out regionally, which is what other beverage companies do. At one point BBDA PR'd buying a bottler in TX but never followed through with it and was never mentioned again.
Don't worry, it won't happen. Real companies pinch their nose, open the garbage can and toss stinky pinky companies like BBDA into it. Any real company that looks at the financials and asks for back up of what they've said publicly, will run off screaming into the distance.
No. They just made a mistake and tied him to one of the other scams he promotes.
That's Tom Allinders work. Pathetic, huh.
You see, Coke is smart. They let regional bottlers fulfill the zones they work in. BBDA, on the other hand, has the product manufactured by a contractor in North Carolina and ships it (so they claim) to Africa, Israel, Mexico, France and other countries. It's utter BS, of course.
Sure they own it. They license it out to bottlers but Coke owns it, secrets and all.
Scammers do the same thing with Microsoft. Some people just believe them, obviously. Of course they wouldn't apply the reverse to BBDA - from $11 to $.0008. At $.0008 they'll point out NSS, MM's manipulating, etc as excuses which, of course, they'll believe.
So that's where these idiots are getting that Monster was once a penny stock. By that standard, BBDA traded at $11 per share at one time, lol.
Scratch that - it's the same company you posted.
$.83 is a split adjusted price on whatever chart you looked at. It never traded at that price. Unadjusted it would've been $12.00. And you're not holding 38 Million dollars of stock while sitting here buying sub penny BBDA. There also are no bodegas around wall street and Koma Unwind isn't in every terminal at JFK or Laguardia.
I agree. I've always told people that I could run a company with a laptop, cell phone and internet connection. It sounds like they have restructured the office agreement, though the details were left out.
No problem. I can't stand people trying to con other people. I've never said MOPN was (or is) a scam but there's always been a level of deception above the white lies that small companies typically tell in order to come across as larger and more successful than they are.
Sure. There's no way they're selling any private placements now. They can barely get retail buyers for the stock. It's pretty much FUBAR at this point. You can't put out grandious press releases and not follow through with even part of it. After a while, people stop believing and that's what's happened here. Only tangibles (real sales followed by real numbers) might get people interested again. But even then, they would have to be impressive numbers.
Not really. A lot of scams I've followed have had product and next to no sales. I'm following a few right now with real products but next to no chance of success. Scams use product to sell shares in private placements and pump and dumps.
He is. And a bunch of other Fort Wayne scammers are all around. Kistler, Carnes, Hochstedler...
He's a moron which is why some of us question everything.
The stock price did nothing at all.
$68 worth of stock.
I wouldn't go by those data feeds. The filings have never listed a CO-CEO and the newest are still signed CEO.
It was never a penny stock. It forward split 4 times.
Paid placement through an ad agency is all as long as it integrates with the theme. Obviously her eating Cheetos instead wouldn't have worked.
