Handle him, CANON7. As usual, right on the money, using fact instead of opinion against these naysayers. I was taught in the USMC that like a*^holes, everyone has an opinion. Did you see this on SCOTTRADE's front page about Bollinger averages for TRDY?:
http://www.scottrade.com/lp/pc2/?cid=AM|46|1542|992|61&rid=L|329314&amvid=4ce9e7464bff2&symbol=TRDY&ira
If the link doesn't show, it says: "TRDY is trading within its Bollinger Bands. This is a normal condition and suggests that the stock is neither overbought nor oversold relative to the recent price action."
OK, folks? I know you've seen a lot of blood spilled recently but we're green today and climbing back "chip by chip" - like I say when I'm in a Las Vegas casino and playing blackjack and looking to turn things around. Just IMO! Go TRDY!
Right on JD!!!!!
Thanks CBAILongShot. Let's hope we're at bottom and the only way to go is UP! GLTY!
"Trudy is going to retrace back to the 50-200 MDA". Please explain.
My sentiments exactly, Canon7! Couldn't get out to my broker today, but most definitely will tomorrow. Thanks for the info and the invitation. I will take you up on this. So our girl flirted with "3s" today, but I see she came back to "4s". I feel the pain of many of our fellow investors who want to see a filing or a PR or anything to show TRDY is what we think she is. I watch the losses I'm taking but the die is cast with me. I'm holding long 'cause I have a feeling baby girl is going to be sweet to all of us. Take care. GO TRDY!!!!
All is very well, Canon7. Like you, still holding strong, standing by to stand by 'cause I know TRDY going to hit. One thing the doubters on this board miss is the fact that she's still trading in a certain range - holding strong for weeks now! If she were like other pinkies she'd have been in the dumper a long time ago. You saw that I did a little direct DD by visiting the Las Vegas offices the other day and what I found out. It didnot shake my conviction about TRDY's status one bit, but just wanted to pass on to others what I saw. Take care. Keep "herding" folks in line with your structured and correct analyses, and remember, I owe you two drinks when you come to Vegas! GO TRDY!!
Thanks. Still holding strong!
Please explain why this is historical? GO TRDY!!!!
Bernij1: I believe in DD, and especially if it is direct, so my going to TRDY's address was simply to see for myself whatever was transpiring at the location, and possibly speak to Stan. Finding that the address was a "virtual office" was no shock to me, since as I mentioned offices of other stocks I have positions in have similar "virtual offices", and as was mentioned, this is fairly commonplace with new ventures. I merely wanted to see for myself, and share the recon info with other members of this message who don't happen to live in one of America's great places, Las Vegas. GLTY and Go TRDY! List me among those holding long, OK?
Sorry Ohiotom, the only office address I am aware of is the one here in Las Vegas. FINRA and others may know the actual address. GO TRDY!!!
I feel you, buccaneer1961.
OK, fine, LonJandis. I was unaware of earlier recon and report on TRDY's offices. I can only tell you of my experience. Be assured, I have a vested interest in TRDY's success and increase in PPS so my visit was part of my direct DD. Like I said, I make no judgment either way and fellow shareholders can make of it what they wish. If this was all hashed out a month ago and is not an issue, so be it. GO TRDY!
Grooverider/Canon 7 - Regular viewers of this message board have seen that FINRA has "talked" with Stan on a number of occasions, and told us - with a wink - that POS growth in TRDY is "coming, just be patient." I regard FINRA as a knowledgeable stock trader/entrepreneur on this board, so OK, fine, however as a substantial TRDY shareholder who just happens to live in Las Vegas, I thought maybe it was time for me to meet "the man" and to talk to him find out what's going on.
So today [Thursday, 1/20/11] I went to TRDY's office of record at 1810 E. Sahara Avenue, Suite 1517, Las Vegas, NV 89104. The receptionist at the front desk of what is the Sahara Business Center - a legitimate upscale multi-story edifice with a number of offices located onsite - told me that yes, TRDY's office is located there but is in fact a "virtual office" using that address but no one comes in daily to work the business. I found this was also the case with SFIO, another Las Vegas-based business that I have a position in that is located on W. Sahara Avenue, further up the street. I also visited their office and found out that information
You can make of this what you will. I do understand that fledgling businesses set up these "virtual offices" - akin to post office boxes - and conduct business in another location which some investors have no problem with.
I make no judgment either way, just passing on what I saw.
I'm still holding long, standing by to stand by for any news or filing. GO TRDY!

Yes, in celebration of the national holiday honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
http://www.cnn.com/2011/US/01/17/mlk.day/index.html?hpt=T2
Dayumm, Canon7, I want to be like you when I grow up LOL! As usual, your analysis is right on the money, which is why I can't wait 'til Tuesday [after celebrating my MLK day] to add to my position. I'm putting TRDY on auto pilot and will just sit back and wait until the moment comes that will shock some of these doubters! Enjoy the holiday! GO TRDY!
Actually, Canon7, I'll be ready for some Dom Pérignon or the like if and when our TRDY does her thing. After all, this is Vegas Baby!!! I read your take on this on the private side and, of course, I do understand and accept whichever way the cookie crumbles. GO TRDY!
Canon7: Surely a PR tomorrow would be wonderful for the soul [LOL]!
One can only hope. Let me make that a (2) drink offer [LOL]!!!
Fizz1030: I couldn't have said it better than myself! I know folks are getting restless, and many of them have never held onto a stock this long...they are used to jumping in, making a score, and jumping out. Well, from time to time comes a stock, like TRDY, where you have to sit and wait a while 'til she percolates and comes to a boil. I know it's hard to sit and watch a pot boil, but every thing in my gut says "hold on, God waits on the patient." GLTA!
SFIO Business Office Update:
Understand from the get-go: I'm a shareholder who believes in the product and is holding long.
Now, I read the company's PR of 1/10/11 - "LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwire - 01/10/11) - Smokefree Innotec, Inc. (Pinksheets:SFIO - News), an established international distributor of e-cigarettes (http://www.sfio.us or http://www.realsmokefree.com), announced today through its President and CEO Thomas Schroepfer, that "For the New Year we have moved our business office to 2300 W. Sahara Avenue, Suite 800 in Las Vegas, Nevada 89102."
I also saw a picture of the building posted by someone on this board, so since I live in Las Vegas I decided to go over and take a look.
The company's office is indeed on the 8th floor of 2300 W. Sahara Avenue, however, it is what a manager told me is a "virtual office", meaning it is something akin to a post office box, where you rent space in an office and have that address. I informed them I was a shareholder and wanted to speak to someone about the company. Yes, I was told it is the company's office under the name Thomas Schroepfer. Yes, I was told they do conduct business out of it, but no one from the company was there when I was, and I was told they don't come in everyday. I was further told I'd have to make an appointment to speak to either Schroepfer or anyone else from the company. With that, I left.
Make of it what you will. I'm just sharing this first-hand visual info with my fellow stockholders.
Ditto, Canon 7, ditto!!!!!
Canon 7: I totally concur with your analysis, which is why I and CB are hanging tough with TRDY. Everyone who's held TRDY long now is in the red - including yours truly - so he's not mad at you, in fact, he's very happy you turned him, and later me, onto TRDY. Appreciate. I'm not angry either, and I still have high expectations for TRDY to breakout and really do something nice. BTW, if you are ever in Vegas, I owe you a drink!
Hope this helps: This PR came out within the last 48 hours:
Smokefree Innotec: 2010 in Review and Update for the New Year
8 minutes ago - INW
Marketwire
Smokefree Innotec, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: SFIO), an established international distributor of e-cigarettes (http://www.sfio.us or http://www.realsmokefree.com), announced today through its President and CEO Thomas Schroepfer, that "For the New Year we have moved our business office to 2300 W. Sahara Avenue, Suite 800 in Las Vegas, Nevada 89102. Details can be found on our web site. Also, I want to wish all Smokefree shareholders a prosperous and Happy New Year, and let them know that we are dedicated 24/7 to creating value for the shares of SFIO, and are constantly seeking out and implementing solutions that work for everyone in our business model, to the benefit of Smokefree Innotec, its partners, and its shareholders."
The Company has experienced significant growth while overcoming setbacks in 2010, particularly in the effect of changing regulatory positions in both the U.S. and internationally. The year began with the Euromarket countries (except Germany) adopting surprise restrictions on marketing nicotine products, and ended with Australian and U. S. regulations being relaxed on such marketing for e-cigarettes. While European markets generally restricted our products to non-nicotine lines, we entered into joint ventures to expand our offerings to successfully include non-nicotine flavored products. In the U.S. we are now about to offer all products, including new flavors presently in testing, through our web site with the convenience of ordering online through shopping carts. This approach will be replicated throughout all of our international markets as we begin an aggressive branding program for Smokefree Innotec.
George Roth, CFO added, "The harsh chaotic December winters suffered by Europe have significantly impacted our progress in those markets, but we intend to resume our marketing activities to place our products on countertops in convenience stores throughout those markets, with a more flexible pricing structure. Similarly, opportunities to replicate this approach here in the U. S have been brought to us and are under negotiations. We are seeking out additional distributors and invite all interested parties to contact me regarding qualifications."

Thanks. Still holding, standing by to stand by, and looking forward to some real nice developments from TRDY. Go TRDY!
Is TRDY trading today?
Chill, it's cool FINRA, my brother from DC the place I left to retire in Las Vegas! They don't understand you, what connections you have and they are searching for answers 'cause they got money on the line and they are seeing TRDY go to lows they didn't expect and they want her to soar. I do, and like you I understand certain realities of the world, and that's why I see this as a buying oppportunity - which I did today to add to my position! TRDY's going to soar and we will fly together with her. Thanks for sharing your DD and putting everything in perspective!
Keep 'em straight, JD!
I have to agree with you on this JV44. I holding long, but I don't understand what is the holdup on either an 8K or a PR, unless this is a tactic to cause the faint-of-heart or those who's wallets can't hold out forever to drop out and allow some MMs to scoop up shares. Like I've said repeatedly on this board, I'm standing by to stand by 'cause I believe I know what I own. GLTA
Yes, I see CSTI is busy this morning:
TRDY Trudy Corp. $0.0068 566,814 Pink Quote Common Stock United States
Still standing by to stand by! GO TRDY!
I think you've got your finger on it, JD! I know I'm "standing by to stand by" as we used to say in the Marines. BTW, I love your signature "gi"-clad guy! He's ferocious like TRDY! We're going to make money this year, guy, so don't you doubters think otherwise!
Back at 'cha, FINRA! Personally, I'm looking forward to a very haappy new year when shortly TRDY puts out her 8K and takes off. GLTA
Here are SPIN's 75 clients:
http://www.otcmarkets.com/market-maker-dir
I hear ya, Jarhead. 4 years in the Corps myself, including 13 months in 'Nam, so I hear you about waiting for stuff to happen! Like I said, my account is showing red on TRDY TODAY, but I have every expectation she's going to turn VERY green. Semper Fi, and Happy New Year.
Aye, aye, Skipper! All this back and forth is starting to get real amateurish and childish. When I put my money down I knew the risk, I accepted it, and I'm willing to take the consequences. My DD, my gut, my instinct, and daily contact with someone who knows these markets well tells me to stay the course! Go TRDY!
To Dudmeister, REM, IHSensei and others:
I really appreciate the great info you've privately sent to me and the great vibes. The site's controls won't let me respond privately, so this is a big public THANK YOU.
Standing by with my position in TRDY. Am expecting big things after the new year, including that damn 8-K! Happy New Year to you all and GLTA.
VegasKid1
You got my concurrence, FIZZ!
You are absolutely right, JD. I'm hanging tough with my position and am expecting an 8K after the start of the New Year. GO TRDY!!!
I like your style WallStreetKid. It reminds me of one I hold so dear. Your rap is right on! Merry Christmas to you and GLTA.
This is why I only "play" the market occasionally, and diversify my investing practices to include coins, art, etc. These MMs run the market, leaving us "average folks" to pick up the crumbs, while they run off with the filet mignon. Disgusting! For the record, still holding my position in TRDY and being long and patient! GO TRDY!
Thanks Buc. Am really enjoying the back and forth, the ins and outs of this board. Am keeping my posting to a minimum as I learn what's happening. I know this: TRDY is going to be a comer and I have a nice position in her and am standing by to stand by as we used to say in the military. Thanks again.
