good call synergistic.
"I'm calling 1.05 close as we slowly work our way up to (and hopefully past) $1.10 this week before financials to be (hopefully) released on Friday."
local journalism?
past tense? acquired?
if you watch the interview, Chamberlain is very aware of being very cautious on that issue.
well, maybe its not a PR, but it's listed under our headlines on yahoo
i see the tv interview was worth a PR
1.11 is looking doable!
i'm looking for a 1.11 close today. that would give us a nice dime a day start to the week.
can't wait for tomorrow. friday we rose .7. tomorrow i'm thinking dime.
Today's MK DD Award goes to Brikk, for the Chamberlain/Butler interview. Runner-up is Fred. If I missed anyone that should be recognized, please feel free to do so. Thanks to all you guys who bring us great DD here everyday. We're almost a virtual arm of DDI's investor relations here. I'm sure they appreciate our interest, as Steve Haag says in his closings. Great board.
Red Adair, for those who may not know:

haven't got my tax rebate yet, but can't wait to put it in this company.
i meant CFO, not CEO. thanks Brikk.
littlefish and others with similar financing concerns, that video should address, maybe not as specifically as you would like, your concerns. note that chamberlain stated their 12MM debt, and though they have plenty of room to grow by leverage, they intend to use such leverage judiciously and very carefully. a 2 to 3% market share in this deep sub sea market is huge, and well within their sights with Ron Smith on every rolodex of every company that needs solutions in this field. "the Red Adair of sub sea." THAT IS A HUGE STATEMENT. HUGE!!!!!! IF YOU ARE READING THIS AND OWN THIS STOCK, YOU MUST BE A VERY HAPPY PERSON RIGHT NOW IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING AT ALL ABOUT WHAT OUR CEO JUST TOLD THE WORLD.
awesome interview/program. simply awesome.
i wanna see too!!!
indeed doog, and Happy Mother's Day out there to your moms.
i talk to him pretty regularly. he is very happy to see his life's work come to this. i haven't asked about whether the merger has increased growth, but i'm very sure it has, and i do know that right now this is peak mako season anyway. and not that they need it, but tropical winds are starting to pick up down here on the coast, if you get my drift.
well, it was therapeutic (for me). incoherent, rambling therapy.
remind me not to post after crown royal.
yeah, i'd say that's a worthy re-read for all.
another reiteration of 2.5 is my guess. if it's higher, hey, great, let the bull run.
right there with you buddyro, believe that. on my back like a cat thrown in a water bucket, all the way up, all the way down, all the way back here.
All I know is this has been one hell of a ride for me. Not only is this my first and only individual stock investment, but of course I had to go all the way down in the frickin jungle of the otcbb and pick one. I have alot of money in this stock, for me. There is only one reason I'm here, and that's because I personally know Jacob Marcell, CEO of Mako. I feel about him like about how JDS feels about Ron. Sounds like they're cut from same or similar cloth, and that bodes well for the parent ddi. If I didn't think so, I would have bailed somewhere on the downside of the peak back in 10/07, and would have made some serious money (again, for me), having initially bought in the high .6's, .7's, and .8's. But I just couldn't pull the trigger (or the plug, if you will) on this company, because I just did not see how these guys + Butler were going to lay their midlives out there for failure at this stage of their lives. No way. JM could have told me they were selling batshit, and I'd have bought in. Now you see my mindstate (and surely alot of you have it), after having sprung up to 2+, and whithered all the way back down to .3, then scratch, claw, and kick nuts just to get back to buck. whew. i had to leave my computer for weeks at a time, because if I watched every day it would depress me--but never to the point of selling. No frickin way. So no sense in watching that foolishness. And it is foolish. We speculated back when that we'd hit a buck when we all were at .6. Guess what? We were right. Here we are again. It's like a big fricking "told you so dammit." If you see what I see, there's no need to be dragging us down in the muck again. Let it go, whomever you are, let it go. Glad you made your money shaking out people not like me, and glad you made your money daytrading it (i admit, it used to be a flipper's wetdream most days.) But as JDS so eloquently put it, we've more substance now to show the doubters. So, can't we all just relax and have it stay above here and get on up to where it was before the ousted exs dumped us down here. Can't we all just get along? Prally not. Since I'm now quoting Rodney King, it's time for me to go. Boo yaa long dongs! Semper frickin fidelis!
is that attributable to mmm? i mean, i'm sure there is increased demand, but are the mm's filling that with their inventory and moving it up as they see fit using only small transactions to do so?
in the mako situation, the big question was whether and how much would be included in q4. i'm not as concerned with such timing with FT, as long as it gets done in the end, but that's just me.
exactly.
i brought this subject up this morning and no one really responded, but i think you are both right. frank, if the deal is not completed it won't go on dpdw's books, as the contract is FT's. imo, if the deal is completed, it really doesn't matter to me which Q gets it, as FT will be wholly owned by dpdw, thereby totally benefitting us one way or another. and i agree that the deal must be substantially done for this kind of pr to come out.
wb clay, when's your next video on dpdw?
insider trading is illegal, both buying and selling.
I was wondering same thing. I suppose if we close the FT deal, we get it all anyway, no matter how you slice it.
that's what i was thinking had to be the plan to address the last financing -- a larger subsuming financing at better terms shortly.
also worth noting that Mako already had cameras when i visited last year, so if they make them available, that's not a gimmick either.
If so, it's a great strategy to rope in the mid-level guys at our customer companies who are going to be the ones dealing day to day with ddi's mid-level guys behind those computers. I still say the real business gets done like it's being done right now at the OTC, by the big boys in the hospitality suites, on golf courses, in steakhouses and bars. But that is changing as we speak, and as it does, it will be very nice indeed to have a reputation in the industry for having the best interactive business website going, along with our business behind it.
nice grab on the flash drive.
ha ha. true. as for me, i'm listening to everyone until we hit $2 again. then i'll stop listening and start watching . . . and counting.
Chev, it wouldn't surprise me to have rates based off LIBOR for this kind of financing. The London Interbank Offered Rate (or LIBOR,) is a daily reference rate based on the interest rates at which banks offer to lend unsecured funds to other banks in the London wholesale money market (or interbank market). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LIBOR
ha ha. thanks for the boat. it elightens us all. so, now it appears we know about the amount they could qualify for in the loan, and that they likely won't be using bonus shares or warrants in the terms. So far, so good for a fence-sitter like me watching the back and forth. We probably won't know more on further terms and rates until it announced. Pop some corn.
thanks for throwing me a life jacket. when is the boat coming to get me?
