Hey Taki, nice timing in your selling of WNBD shares. You were such a nice guy trying to get even with Eric and showing him who is boss. Of course, you didn't care if the rest of us suffered by your selling. But what did you care.
You really showed him dude.
Zellers, way to go Eric. Now if we can only get lucky and have a quick follow up with Lowes'. That would be sweet.
Isn't Zellers a jewelry store. What, now we are cleaning diamonds? 1003+ uses for Winning Colours. Hey, has anyone got a lump of coal? If so, see if you can pour Winning Colours on it and see if a diamond emerges.

One Million, that last post says it all. Just keep pumping those potential windfalls out there and some will think, wow, I am gonna be rich; or at least even. Or maybe, I won't be losing as much as I thought.
Have you no shame?
Anubies, did he or did he not say that he would not increase the A/S? And did he or did he not increase the A/S?
You have noticed the pps has fallen rather dramtically recently, haven't you?
A CEO announce that he rejected a buyout offer that was a five bagger and would have made everyone here including him a lot of money and the pps went down!
Can you imagine any CEO of a worthwhile stock annoucing that and the pps stay flat or go down.
Where is the SEC on this fraud.
Of course, all in my very unhumble opinion.
A sucker is born every day. Sheesh.
One Million, just a passing viewer here. I don't own any stock. Your name says it all to me. 999,999 people now understand what is going on here, only you don't. Even Leonidas finally got it. People like you, with your rose colored blinders on, are causing other people to lose money.
Everyone always bashes the bashers, but it is the blind pumpers that cause most of the losses in the casino we call Wall Street. People only want to hear the good and not the bad and you provide them the good, while attacking the bad.
Do you sleep well at night?
Read Lansings' letter to Eric and his response. Really well written and thought out Lansing. Kudos to you. Not so impressed with Erics' reply. No longer imminent, or soon, but now he says there is nothing negative to announce.
Looks real bad to me. I wouldn't be suprised to see a memo stating we lost the account before long. Even soon.
And that my friends is a real bummer.

sitting on a barstool, not doing so well
That about sums it up for me.
Actually Cosmo, she did her DD as well as have others. The problem is the CEO has given out bad info. ie. soon, imminent, any day now.
Ahh, that was my point.
Next time someone here suggests that if we can only get to 10 million in volume we will be off to the moon; don't believe him.
I think we have been there and now it's, "Houston, I think we have a problem".
Suggestion to Taki and others Longs who may be tempted to buy here. DON'T. They can't sell those 504's here unless someone is buying. That trying to buy low, just takes us lower. Quit buying for now. If it quits sinking we win, if it goes lower, you can take out more of their shares at a lower price. Wait til the .0025's you are predicting. IMO.
Considering that he now has insider information, how is he able to buy shares? It would have been better if he said he was paid in shares. Now it looks like he bought based on info he has received.
I am glad he bought and hope he bought based on that info. But it does seems like it would violate insider trading.
< when is the Lowes announcement expected? >
Ha ha ha. That's a good one.
Well it might have been a couple of days ago, maybe last week, just the other day, or a while ago, when I was a kid, in April 09, er 08, or as we say in surfland; bro, you should have been here yesterday.
Here's a recommedation. Don't, for the love of ice cream, hold your breath.
If Lowes is close and Eric gets permission to PR it, I hope he does it before Saturday and not next Tuesday. It would be better for the stock if he did it first thing Tuesday. But for the product to sell, I think it would be better to get it out before Saturday, so they can get the product out for the holiday.
And I think they race a second week in a row at Lowes speedway.
Spring time is almost sprung, summer is right around the corner.
Well, an attempt. I'll leave up to Rocket to say if it was funny, or correct.
Crashman, he decided to avoid for now the very liberal states that you mentioned. He was worried that if our product became too profitable, that the product would be so heavily taxed as to put WNBD out of business.
We are in New York, but that state, but hey, everyone makes somes mistakes.
Correcto, I am. Could you show me any link that shows we are heavily naked short? Or any site that shows this stock has any heavy short.
Don't get me wrong, I think this is a winner here. I just don't think the action today is caused by shorts, or naked shorts.
Super, thanks. I forgot about; any minute now. I am sure there are a few more I've forgotten too.
Oh yeah, I am holding my breath. Check that. I am not holding my breath. But unfortunately, I am holding.
Oh plezse, the actual short count on this stock is quite small. And, AND they are NOT on the SHO naked short list.
What's probably happending to explain the huge volume with a little rise in pps, is company diluting.
If they are trying to get on the Nasdaq, be prepared for an annoucemnt soon of a R/S. Doesn't mean it is bad, just expect it, soon.
Please tell me he didn't say about Lowes; "in the forseeable future".
First it's in a couple of weeks, then soon, how bout around the corner, on to imminent, and any day now and so on. Now it's; in the forseeable future.
ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
Eric, I am nearing 61. I want to help my retirement and my kids. Looks like I will have to put it into my will for my kids to help their kids. By the time this Lowes thing hits, I am gonna be in my grave.
Viagra does work, but not on this type of delayed arousement, er, announcement.
WPO.. wrong singer. It was LOVE and not the normal singer Arthur Lee. It was his collaborator and partner in song, Brian McLean.
<The past month or so he could have put out speculative numbers on the counter offer and did not.>
He did put speculative numbers out: .10 offer and much more for what he thinks company is worth. He says the offer should be way north of .10. Pure speculation.
No proof.
If anybody here remembers the stock CAFE. They put out a PR that use the word Walmart in it. Implying that they had a contract to install some gadget that reduced electrical output and saving the company money. Stock shot up for a couple of days and then, BANG the stock was halted and the SEC came in for an investigation. Stock was halted for months. When it reopened it open way down and proceeded to go below a 1.00. Never was a contract. Stock is now called ENLU and was trading below 1.00.
Hey Rock...
Rock - Dude what's up?
Dude - Oh the usual.
Rock - Got any good tips?
Dude - I don't know if it's a good tip or not, but here goes.
Company A recently said they had a potential buyout offer for .10 when the stock was trading for over .02.
Rock - Wow, a five bagger. Did the stock shoot to the moon?
Dude - Ah, no. They rejected the offer and wanted more, said there would be a counter offer and that they would not take less than .10 or something like that and they would let everyone know some details by May 15 at the latest.
Rock - Wow, at least a five bagger. I imagine it's selling now for close to .10 or more.
Dude - Ah, no. Closed today at .017 or so.
Rock - Huh? Let's see, the CEO states that he rejected a 500% increase offer from the then pps and believed the stock was worth much more and implied that he would get another offer soon that would be over .10 and the stock is still under .02? And people still believe him?
Dude - You know the old saying, "a sucker is born every minute", or something like that.
Do you people here really believe that you are going to get a least a nine bagger here as a buyout? If that were true, why isn't the pps at .10 now? I mean, it's free money. Jared did say they offered .10 but that wasn't enough, he wants more.
You've got to be kidding.
And if there is a merger with someone else, you think your account is going to increase nine times after the merger.
Delusional, greed, rose colored glances, etc.
I'll eat crow if you people here get a buyout worth nine times the current pps by next Monday.
Don't own any shares here but sometimes drop in to see what's up.
Question: why would Jared need to promote anybody if they are being bought out?
Second question: How can anybody be so dumb to believe that the company has PR'd that they turned down .10 a share buy out because that wasn't enough? And they won't release the name of the potential buyer; now or if there is no buyout? And the .10 is a nine bagger from here and it's, well, oh boy, a sure thing?
Huh? I can hear George Strait now, "I've got some ocean front property in Arizona, from my front porch you can see the sea".
Gullible to say the least!
Ah Real, I will try to explain as best I can.
See the ball represents E & E. Even though we have the ball (E & E), we still need to put the ball in play. In other words Real, we need some smokin PR's for E & E to play with.
The balls no good unless you put it in play. E & E is nothing without news to disemminate.
As for UNLEASH THE HOUNDS, well, ah, just forgetaboutit.
Sheesh.
This reminds me of when I was a kid and we wanted to play over the line. Tough to find six kids to play, but when you did, we would trudge on over to the field and get ready to play only to find, NO BALL. Who's the dummy who forgot the ball?
Anyway, now we have a ball, would someone email or call Eric and tell him to THROW it.
Eric, UNLEASH THE HOUNDS!
TALLYHO DUDES!
Soap...
<-- much of this could have been avoided by pursuing high value non-retail targets.>
...who or what is a high value non-retail target?
You know Light, you should be held accountable too. What with your past enthusiasm. Nothing but glowing posts. Someone reading your prior posts, might have bought, as you suggested yesterday, that others who listened to you, had bought.
I don't like what has happened, but others here have tried to point out certain red flags and if I remember correctly, you jumped all over them. You have done a complete turnaround and now you lose credibility.
Only problem with todays runup is the low volume. Looks like the only people buying are our local yocals. Still, no heavy selling, so that's a good sign.
Light, I am not sure I twisted anything wrong from that post or your subsequent posts. Your attitude has certainly changed. I like to joke around, so sorry if I offended you. It seems something bad has happened to you because of WNBD. Truly, I hope it's not serious. Your attitude seems like a 180 degree change.
I think we will be all right here, but it's going to take a lot longer then most of us had planned. I am buried deep here also and do not like it one bit, but there's nothing we really can do.
Eric has not been as forthcoming (truthful?) as we would like, but the plan seems to be still working, just slower.
You need a laugh, try Googling "who's at first" by Abbott and Costello. I never get tired on reading or hearing it.
God Bless
Oh way to go Ant. What a way to ruin an ugly atmosphere.
Sheesh, person can't even vent anymore.
If it was Friday, I could go get some tequila and yell at the moon, but bummer dude, it's only Tuesday.
And I can't yell at the wife, cause she yells back louder.
And, and my youngest son is 6'2", (bigger then me), so I don't dare yell at him.
Goodness light, that is a sea change on your part. Finally wake up to reality? Not to knock you too much, but you and realbiz have been too over enthusiastic about this stock. Rose coloured glassed and all.
Great potential here, maybe. I think danthomas is right, but hope he is wrong. Rocket for a long time, came out with those two bottles deal and everyone started seeing dollars in their wallets. Reality maybe a lot lower.
All I want from a CEO is honesty and transparency. If we are not doing well, say so and let the chips fall where they may. I don't think we are doing that well (Orgil?), but I still have high hopes for the company. Eric, just tell us what we have done up to now.
And please no more soon, at any moment, right around the corner, immiment, etc. Just tell us when it happens.
And, oh yeah, thanks for telling us promtply about the 504's.
Thanks pal.
Light, I don't think it is a good think to assign anyone to Hell if they have problems with certain CEO's comments.
You would have made a good investor in Enron, World.com, Loud.
Speaking of Loud. I listened to an interview with their CEO Jeff Cavins. I was just like you then, even convinced one of the negative people on the board to listen to the interview. He did and was so impressed, he purchased about $5,000 worth of stock. Bad decision. Fell in love with the speaker and the way he spoke, as I did and forgot the red flags that were there to see, but ignored.
Soon, imminent, right around the corner, any moment now, close, pictures within two weeks and now, some financials sometime in 2009.
I don't know about you, but I don't want a CEO to paint a rose colored picture for me or give me flowery projections or hopeful time frames. Give me the facts, past and present, but don't give me any future dates that you have no control over.
Didn't listen to the CC as I have found most to be not noteworthy for news. Oh boy, "right around the corner" or "any day now" have supplanted "soon" and/or "imminent". And we will get the financials sometime in 2009; for sure dude.
So the guy sounded "passionent" and "trustworthy", so did Clinton, but he still was cheating on his wife. Give me someone who sounds stupid like "W". At least you knew where he stood and where he was going.
We don't get a PR soon, it's back to the low 4's, or worse.
And Sideem, it's Crash not Cash.
I don't like crow, but I will eat it with relish (and mayonaise) if I am wrong.
Help me, somebody please help me... I am 60 years old and my eyes have been going slowly south since my mid 40's. But I could swear that the stock closed UP today. Is that right? It never closes up. I use this stock to bring me down when I get too high.
Now what am I gonna do?
Well Crash, people here don't really like you, but those are important questions to be asked and hopefully answered. I don't expect that to happen.
Usually CC's are announced a few weeks ahead of time to give people time to think of good questions. This announcement has happened very close to actual CC. Hope that means he has some good news. But, help me here, I don't think he can come out with something material unless he PR's it ahead of time. If I am right and there is good material news to announce, he should PR today or sometime tommorrow before CC.
C'mon Eric, let the hounds out, dude.
Neil, that's my son's name. But he spells his last name O'Dubhagain.
He's not a stranger and he's not black. Weird.
I am hoping that EXTRA will call in and identify himself as such. That would be realllllyyy interesting.
And if he does get in, I hope he speaks like he writes.
Eric speaking like one of his memo's and Extra speaking like one of his posts. Another Abbott and Costello. That would be great to get on tape.
Instead of "Who's on first"?, it might be "What does imminent mean"? or "Who's driving the 504"?
CC, well that is nice. Usually, if there is good news to be had, it will be announced before the CC. Tommorrow may be the day. And I know, even though I am a dummy, that tommorrow is soon, right around the corner. It is imminent. But it probably won't happen. But one can dream can' they?
Now all they need is to get us an 800 number. C'mon Eric, sell some more 504's and get us a free number.
