Well spoken,
If Manu is able to achieve his dream, the sky is the limit.
GLTA Longs
Would the gap be considered a weaker gap as we have treaded through this range several times in the past week? As opposed to the first time in this area in months.
GLTA Longs
What is it May, when they will start laying foundations.
I think that is when we will see a steady stream of new investors buying this extremely undervalued stock. For the next month I think we remain under a dime and have a very rare op to buy into a company that will change the way movies are made.
GLTU
Thank you .
From a selfish point of view, to vote no would force Elite's hand to get a partner and would bring about a quicker rise in share price. While voting yes would yield a higher long term value but would take it longer to get to say 2 dollars. Just thunking out loud, I know Nasrat has a lot more skin in the game then me and wants a yes vote, so thats what I will do.
GLTA Longs
Good to know, I was wondering.
Manu is going to visit several of America's largest cities over the next few days.
What would his purpose be?
GLTA Longs
I have said all along this is a long term stock.
I believe we will get much more traction once the foundations are being laid for the studioplex.
I know and most on this board know it is a done deal, but others will have to see to believe.
In regards to the letter, Mr Manu does not need to respond to shareholders concerns about daily fluctuations. I love his vision and boldness.

"the tweet about how he's not selling until $5.00. You would think he would worry about more short-term problems before such a grandiose statement. Just my opinion."
Well we can sure hold his feet to the fire on this statement. He is a Lg shareholder with a lot of skin in the game. His vision is huge and to this point he has executed it. So who knows, when we see his form 4s going of at 4.75, then we can complain.
MDNT
How true. lol
I did not catch it a lod, as it was only there for a moment, I got some at .0215.
This is a gift! What price did you get in at this am?
GLTA Longs
IMO Retail investors sold our of fear after flippers began to realize it was not going to a dime this am. Imo mdnt will recover much more than it lost today over the next weeks.
GLTA Longs
Been here before. Today we will see the departure of traders wanting a 100% pop this am, which did not materialize. Others will pick up their shares. I would love to have this go to a dime today, but hey we are on the wild wild west of the otc's, where value has a lot less meaning than hype and momo. MDNT will have a great year imo, it will run hard and remain at much higher levels.
When will that happen, who knowns. lock your shares up and come back and check the price in 6 months, you will be pleased imo.
GLTA Longs
I am really looking forward to the CC.
This is not your normal pink sheet stock, so much 3rd party DD.
This is a long term stock, those that hold will be very very pleased. IMO
MDNT
That 200k sell about to be gone
I wonder if some one else bought at the same time or what. Second time today the ask has vanished on much less shares that what was shown.
GLTA Longs
Its about to get hit by another 160K
Right about now
I don't know how real or serious the asks are. I just picked up 150K at .0278, when I bought the ask was around 340k, as soon as my order executed the ask went up and did not show the remainder of what should have been at .0278.
GLTA Longs
I knew I recognized you from somewhere.
Welcome aboard.
My average is around .015
Going to be a fun ride, the potential is also massive here.
GLTA Longs
What is a realistic market cap here?
Seems extremely undervalued considering the studioplex project .
I think we get a pop on Monday/Tuesday. Of coarse it will retrace some. In the long run this stock will appreciate exponentially. We already have a constant flow of third party news and that will increase as the projects, both movie and building progress.
I am having a hard time setting my own price target, can't wrap my mind around the enormity of the building project and future revenue.
GLTY and all longs
Yes, VRTY is very much under the radar right now.
Thinking we should start to see some really nice numbers/contracts this spring.
In regards to your pm. Yes I agree.
We are due for a good solid run, imo we are very undervalued.
GLTU
Now this is an interesting article on GMO foods.
During quiet periods like right now, doing some research on the markets that Verity is in can be the difference between being comfortable in accumulating when it is down, instead of waiting for news and more voluem and having to buy at $0.40 or more. I continue to like where they are in the markets. Now, with some more news on contracts or basically anything, I think these prices here are going to be looked as a gift in a month or two.
But that is JMHO.
A scientist’s journey from devout GMO believer to skeptic
By Ken Roseboro
The Organic & Non-GMO Report
Belinda Martineau, Ph.D.
“There are many imprecise aspects of genetic engineering, many related to our very incomplete knowledge about genetics and genomics. That is why regulation of every product of this technology should be required and why they should be labeled.”
GM tomato developer is now skeptical about the promises of GM foods
Belinda Martineau, Ph.D. was a genetic engineer who helped develop the world’s first commercially available genetically engineered whole food, the Flavr Savr™ tomato. But during the development of that tomato, she says “was transformed from a devout believer in the promise of agricultural biotechnology into a skeptic wary of its uncertainties.”
Belinda now works in academic research. She wrote a book about the Flavr Savr and her personal transformation, First Fruit: The Creation of the Flavr Savr™ Tomato and the Birth of Biotech Food, and occasionally gives talks to promote discussion of the technology, “warts and all,” as she puts it. She also publishes a blog, Biotech Salon (www.biotechsalon.com), where she aims to “clear the entire situation” about the science supporting genetic engineering.
Tell me about your involvement in developing the Flavr Savr genetically modified tomato.
Belinda Martineau: I carried out experiments and library research and coordinated outside researchers the company hired to carry out additional studies, and helped write the documents Calgene, Inc. submitted to the US Food and Drug Administration to demonstrate the safety of the Flavr Savr tomato.
What led the Flavr Savr team to promote and label the tomato as GM?
Martineau: I give credit for Calgene’s transparency, and the decision to label Flavr Savr tomatoes as “Grown from Genetically Modified Seeds” specifically to the company’s CEO at the time, Roger Salquist. We had nothing to hide, and Roger thought consumers would be more accepting of the product if we were completely above board about it.
What caused the failure of the Flavr Savr tomato in the marketplace?
Martineau: The GM trait, meant to keep tomatoes firmer while they ripened naturally on the vine, didn’t keep them sufficiently firm to allow trucking them to market on a large scale; Calgene spent more money getting the tomatoes to market in good shape than it charged for them in the grocery store.
What led you to become skeptical about GM foods?
Martineau: The major incident was when the FDA asked us whether we were sure that only the DNA we intended to insert into the tomato’s DNA was actually inserted. After we answered “yes” they asked us to carry out the experiments that would demonstrate that that was indeed the case. In fact, the experiments showed that in 30% of the tomato plants, sometimes more, much more DNA—DNA that was not well characterized and usually contained an additional antibiotic resistance gene—was inserted into our plants.
The Calgene scientists weren’t aware how this added DNA got into the tomatoes?
Martineau: We did not expect the additional DNA to be inserted and, as far as I know, scientists still haven’t figured out how to avoid this from happening.
There has been one case of a GM crop plant, called Bt10, which contained such extra DNA, including a gene conferring resistance to the antibiotic ampicillin. Fortunately, the crop developer pulled the product from the market.
What are other risks do you see with genetic engineering of foods?
Martineau: There can be risks associated with the genes being inserted. For example, the gene inserted into StarLink corn failed multiple tests designed to determine whether it could be a human allergen. The FDA and Center for Disease Control were worried enough about StarLink corn’s possible allergenicity that the US corn crop was monitored for the presence of that GM corn for seven years after it was taken off the market. The gene in another GM corn crop, Bt176, was found to present a much higher risk to Monarch butterfly larvae than other Bt corn crops.
There are also risks associated with the fact that genetic engineers have no control over where in a plant’s DNA their gene will land and they often land in another gene, mutating that gene. Unexpected changes can occur in GM plants as a result of such unintended insertions–and other possible mutations.
John Vandermeer, a professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at the University of Michigan, has said that genetic engineering is based on “dramatically incomplete knowledge of the genome,” which he compares to a complex ecosystem. Do you agree with that perspective?
Martineau: I agree with Dr. Vandermeer. Genetic engineering is based on the reductionist belief that taking a gene out of its context in one organism and inserting it—essentially randomly—into another organism’s genome comprises a “precise” process that requires minimal regulatory oversight before being sold in grocery stores for human food.
I heard a plant scientist claim that “we know exactly what we’re doing” with genetic engineering and then ask audience members to support grants for plant science because “there’s a lot we still don’t know about plant genomes.” It might be laughable if this situation wasn’t affecting the food system in the US and worldwide. (I am sorry, but I did laugh at this anyway.
There are many imprecise aspects of genetic engineering, many related to our very incomplete knowledge about genetics and genomics. That is why regulation of every product of this technology should be required and why they should be labeled.
What was your reaction to Professor Seralini’s study, which found harm to rats fed GM corn, being retracted by the Journal of Food and Chemical Toxicology?
Martineau: I realize that there are issues with the number and strain of rat used and whether Seralini’s results are test article-related. But I still think that the best way to resolve the controversy is to repeat the experiments using many more, and, perhaps a different strain of, rats.
To retract a paper for being inconclusive is highly unusual and this entire incident “represents a dangerous erosion of the underpinnings of the peer-review process....” to quote an editorial in the current issue of Environmental Health Perspectives.
What are your thoughts about labeling GM foods?
Martineau: This is America. In this capitalist society we have a right to know what we’re buying in grocery stores to feed our families. And in this democracy we have a right to vote for or against a technology with our pocketbooks. These products are labeled in some 60 other countries; they should be labeled in the United States as well.
Calgene’s tomato, the only example of a GM food that has been labeled in this country, was well received by consumers. This may have been because the company was transparent and up front with consumers.
The Grocery Manufacturers Association recently formed a “Coalition for Safe Affordable Food” comprising food and agriculture industry groups to lobby the government for voluntary labeling standards and to pre-empt state labeling laws. What are your thoughts about this?
Martineau: This is just a move to undermine the labeling laws being put in place in individual states around the United States. There is no need for a federal volunteer labeling law; developers of GM foods can already voluntarily label their products just as we did at Calgene. Most Americans want GM foods labeled, they’ve indicated as much for decades now, and the FDA has failed us in this regard.
Shame on our government if it gives in to the GMA, especially after what they did (to defeat GMO labeling) in the recent Washington state election.
With the polarized debate over GMO foods do you think there is room for middle ground?
Martineau: I feel I’m on the middle ground. I’m not against the use of the technology; but when science moves out of the lab and onto the plates of consumers we must be more cautious about it. We scientists must explain what is imprecise and could pose potential problems as well as what is precise about the technology so that society as a whole can make informed decisions about how to use and regulate such a technology.
There is not enough transparency about genetic engineering technology right now and that contributes to consumer wariness about it.

I picked up some myself today.
I think once we start seeing the foundation being laid for the studioplex, the market will really begin to take notice. It will be impossible to argue that Medients huge under taking is not for real.

MDNT
Did you get filled?
"Manu didn't set up this conf. call because there's nuthin' good to say, lol- he's clearly pleased with what he has to present."
My hope is not that he did this just because he has some new news or to better explain the past pr's. But my hope/thought is that from this point forward the company will begin to act more like a company from a much better exchange, which I believe is where mdnt is headed. The more communication the better.
MDNT
In my very unprofessional opinion. I think we have a war between investors seeing the long term and traders moning on. I bet we close green today, not down. .0273ish
GLTA Longs
I picked up a few more this am. Yes imo this entry point will soon be a thing of the past.
I really think mdnt is very much under the radar, only 300 or so board followers.
The volume is very low considering what is going on. I am not complaining, but am using the opp to liquidate other positions and buy more mdnt.
GLTA
Should I sit at .0265 or slap the ask for 170K?
Decisions, Decisions,,,,,,,,,,,,
OK I'll do it.
This company is scam, all the local news clips, on sight videos, approved sight plans , huge bonds form the state, movies released ect. All fabricated in someones basement. This will not see 1 dollar for at least for 3 months.

WHen you consider the facilities that MDNT is building, the current revs and the future revs, MDNT market value is pretty laughable. It will catch up.
Not many sellers or buyers at the open.
"Wow! How does this company only have a 4M market cap."
It is completely under the radar, less than 300 followers on ihub.
But not for long.
MDNT
In my eyes this is a long term play. MDNT is very undervalued. Sometimes a pr will wake up the street, sometimes a third party will do it, some times it happens out of the blue. I don't care how or when but MDNT will get noticed! I am very confident and comfortable with what is happening .
MDNT will be many multiples of its current value 12 months from now.
MDNT tiny market cap, huge potential
"MDNT building a $300 million dollar Studioplex tourist getaway. The $90 million dollar Studio has been approved to be built and contractors are rapidly moving forward with project. The $90 million dollar Studio will have $40 million dollars in the most state of the art production and post production equipment including fully decked out in the most modern special effects and 3D movie equipment. The Studio MDNT is building will be the largest and most modern in the USA. Not to mention MDNT has the movie "Yellow" with a wholesale production value of $15 million dollars MDNT only paid $7 million for "Yellow" just wholesale value alone is worth double what MDNT paid for the movie so that is huge. Plus MDNT just purchased Atlas Films International who have a 250 film movie library.
Below is the link to Atlas film library.

I agree,IMO one of those stocks you only see once in a great while.
The chart is also one the best I have ever seen.
MDNT
MDNT
Consolidating before the next move, Chart is about as nice as you will ever see.
THis one will be dollars some day, so much verifiable DD, State and local support with huge plans coming to fruition as we speak.
Lots of great confirmable DD on MDNT.
Its a big winner long and short term.
MDNT
Company fundamentals are getting stronger week over week.
THe price will catch up with the value soon enough.
IMO we will be well well above a dollar when a partner is signed.
Those that hold will retire on this company.
Yes it is frustrating to see a slow drift, I think when we do turn and break above .60ish we will never return to current levels.
