Maybe true with the companies that you get involved with but false in 90% of the real companies that follow the SEC regs.
If you think I care what Jeff or any other director or officer receives, you are wrong.
If a stock or issue is trading on ANY board, whether listed or de-listed, that company is in violation.

Can you direct me to your source on this figure?
Hopefully to those who are the ones who put this merger together. I would expect an income, whether it be shares, warrants, options or cash, to pay for my involvement.
Best cleaner I've ever used, and I have tried them all over the years, is 360Amigo-free version just over 2.2MB .
No reverse for sure, it won't solve anything. A buyback by the company is a VERY positive signal-rs is a death sign. Better yet a cancellation of shares-say 300mm to start-and all from internal owners. That really would send a signal of intent to reward Lt investors and not just the chosen few.
Next week I know of more than a half dozen new investors who will be buying if the PPS stays around 0.005 . I heard there will be a mention of CCAJ on a stock talk show. Will see if that don't open up the buying gates.
Did you spell that last word correctly? I'm sure counsel checked with the SEC but if you have more information then send it to jwa@greaterchinacorp.com and he will respond.
Do you think there is some value in the association with the hunting outfit and with investmentnation?
JB is not out of the picture. He controls 100's million of shares and his moves will decide more than any other single individual. Let us hope he is not so greedy as to think short gains for himself are his #1 motive.
I don't care about sellers as long as the insiders are holding. They control our futures not the disgruntle few who waste all our times with past rehashing.
With the lack of activity after the initial selling it appears you are not alone.
The SEC filings should not take longer than 30 days from now. Then all the BIG questions will be answered and maybe the few angry people will finally get their wishes for disclosure. What a relief that will be.
MM's just sent out a notice that they are in a wait&see mode as to which way the PPS will move. This signal tells me that insiders are NOT selling.
Off the pinksheets warning sign would be a very nice signal to new investors. The company should immediately contact PS and make the changes. Also clear up the Company Info data so we all know where we stand.
990,000 on the sell side. It is no wonder day traders lose their money but I guess the ride and their puffed up egos is worth the loss. See all you real investors at the real payout window.
Looks like the selling on the release of news is taking place. If selling now makes somebody a few dollars richer then that person is not too smart.
I suspect that whomever leaked the billions of shares remark, must have know ahead of time this new deal was cemented. So goes the world of investing.
Hope they choose a new trading symbol that moves away from the old. GPPC - green planet products co. would be nice.
Will an 8K form be filed so we know the terms?
Will there be a CC on Investmentnation.com?
Now we wait for the news to move this company forward and the share price higher.
Golf is the best game with the stupidest rules ever invented.
It is considered heroic to call violations of these rules on yourself, even when the rules themselves are as dumb as a box of hair.
For instance, Dustin Johnson just lost the PGA Championship (and at least $1 million) for grounding his club harmlessly in a bunker. He made a 5 on that 18th hole at Whistling Straits, putting him in a playoff, only to be told by a man in an oddly colored blazer that he actually made a 7, dropping him to fifth, and out of the playoff. He was rightly bent by it. If he could've stolen two beers and popped the slide, he might've.
Why Whistling Straits calls unkempt, unraked, shaggy pits of sand that spectators have been standing in, sitting in, sleeping in, eating in and smoking in all week bunkers, I'll never know. It's a local rule that makes no sense at a spectator tournament.
Of course, Johnson should've seen the rule posted in the locker room:
"All areas of the course that were designed and built as sand bunkers will be played as bunkers (hazards), whether or not they have been raked."
Even the ones 50 feet outside the ropes. Fine. His bad.
But Whistling Straits was asking the players to treat these pits like bunkers when the course itself didn't treat them like bunkers. Whistling Straits didn't rake them, and didn't protect them from fans, footprints, strollers, beer cans or napping babies.
The reason you can't ground your club in a bunker is that you might (a) be able to move enough sand to improve your lie and (b) you might be able to "test the surface," i.e. figure out if there's a lot of sand under your ball, not much sand, soft sand, hard sand, rocks, etc. But when a bunker gets treated like a weedy bleacher, with thousands of people clomping through it, it's no longer a bunker, nor should it be played as one. It's not a bunker anymore, it's a dirt path.
Johnson in no way violated the spirit of the grounding-the-club rule. All he did was gingerly set his club behind the ball and swing. No advantage gained. Yes, he was stupid to violate the rule. But Whistling Straits was stupid to make it.
Let me ask you this: How was Johnson even supposed to know he was in a bunker? He's played golf most of his 26 years and never before has he come upon a bunker where a dozen people were standing in it with him. Has it ever happened to you? If Whistling Straits is so intent on playing a slab of trampled sand as a bunker, doesn't it owe it to the players to maintain it like one? Why didn't it have ropes around them if it was expecting players to have to play out of them with such tenderness?
Even the champion's caddy thought it was a joke. "It's a bit farcical," said Scotsman Craig Connelly, the caddy for Martin Kaymer. "You can't have bunkers that people are walking through and grass is growing out of. It is a pathetic ruling to say that was a bunker."
Golf is an ass sometimes.
To wit:
• Ball in a divot in the middle of the fairway. You can't move it. Congrats, you've just been penalized for hitting a fairway. You can get a free drop from ground under repair, a French drain, a staked tree, a man-made obstruction, a fence, a wall and a crane, but you can't get a free drop from some guy who swings like John Henry? It's man-made!
You have five minutes to find a lost ball. You can't have five minutes to find your scorecard and sign it? It takes a tiny mind to think up a rule that small.
• Tapping down a spike mark. Just before you try your 5-foot birdie putt, your 400-pound cousin walks across your line, leaving the Mt. Vesuvius of spike marks. The rules forbid you from flattening it out. Golf should never mean having to hook a 5-foot putt.
• Signing the card. Two summers ago, Michelle Wie turned in her second-place scorecard at the State Farm tournament and forgot to sign it until she'd left "the scoring area." Somebody chased her down and told her and she hurried back to sign it. Too late. She'd already been disqualified. She hadn't left the course, hadn't left the grounds, hadn't even left the clubhouse, but she'd left the roped-off "scoring area" around the scoring tent. Who decides what the "scoring area" is? You have five minutes to find a lost ball. You can't have five minutes to find your scorecard and sign it? It takes a tiny mind to think up a rule that small.
• Signing for a higher score. The famous Roberto De Vicenzo incident at the 1968 Masters. You sign for a higher score, you get that score. Makes absolutely no sense. Does Kobe Bryant have to keep the game score? Does he lose if he gets it wrong? Is math a golf skill?
• Wind. If the wind moves your golf ball and your club was near it, or addressing it, it's counted as a shot. That's not a shot, that's an act of God!
Golf is a gentlemen's game. It's just that the gentlemen who run it -- especially at Whistling Straits last weekend -- have too much damn time on their hands.

Your figures add up to 496mm-just like I reported.
The OS is 496+ million. I don't know where the billion number came from but that figure is incorrect. Hope this helps.
UITA-moving on no news-YET!
Hey dc-there are many rules/decisions of current golf that are a farce. Most sand bunkers that are not waste bunkers have rakes to smooth the surface after one plays their shot-apparently the designer thinks he is above common sense.
A few dumb rules that should be abolished are:
Repair of spike marks in one's putting line.
Repairing a ball mark on the green. You can repair it if the ball mark is in your line and you are on the the green but not if on the fringe. Landing in a sand filled divot in the fairway-no relief yet you hit it dead center or in the short grass. Hitting a provisional ball if you think you might have gone OB but not if you THINK you went into a hazard-stroke accessed for the second not for the 1st. Being penalized for hitting your caddie or equipment with your golf ball. Being penalized for hitting an object on your backswing-but for the stroke moving forward there is none. Repairing a hole prior to putting said hole. You get penalized for using a GPS but still can use sprinkler heads or distance markers that were set using a laser or tape measure.
The list is larger but I'm not about to post them all. From a very simple game to a complex game causing many disputes and controversies. The TV loves it, the advertisers love it more while golfers agonize.
When the moment is right take Cealis-but don't dare ask your friend what club he just used for his shot.
I can live without understanding. Seems to me it is a version of some biblical BS that says one cannot sin if one does not know the law. No matter, the TV ads ruin a great sport and the talking heads add to the viewing misery.
I know the song very well. Just tickling your toes. Politics make me puke. Religions make me sick. Some opinions make me react. You handle things very nicely and if ever you run for Pres.-you got my 4 votes. ;)
What about your "quote"? Is this being civil?
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right...
Good work dc-hope you have a great life with your nice demeanor and efforts. See you for the next round of majors.
Your opinion is very shallow. If all golfers followed the original rules/intent then there would not be the thousands of "decisions".
Pete's designs are generally made to intimidate the golfer. He has a huge ego and most of his course I've played are very poorly designed and burial grounds for old railroad ties.
DJ should not have been penalized since it was VERY apparent he had NO INTENTION of ignoring the rule that was clearly posted & discussed BEFORE the tournament. This incident makes for good press and discussions but also may make golfers better understand/read the rules book.
There are SO many rules & decisions, all the result of golfers cheating. We all pay for the few who break the laws to win.
Jack & Tiger NEVER ground their clubs prior to striking a golf ball in tournaments. The masters are there because they are smarter and have the talent.
Opinions exist as do aberrations.
Stats prove my point-LT investors lose 62%, DT lose 92% while option players lose 96%. Look at Tiger's & Jack's records and then laugh all you want old conceited one!
I am reading the many articles on the "young guns" taking a different approach to the game-"go for it" or let it all hang out" or pin hunting" etc. Well the two masters of golf, Tiger and Jack KNOW this approach is VERY fool-hearty in the long run, especially in majors. What makes the current " young guns" approach appear successful is their dominance on the leader board. But just as in investing, the conservative route is the ONLY way to be part of the elite golfers who have withstood the test of time. All this chatter makes good press while Tiger & Phil struggle but it will not last. Just like day-traders!
