I believe around 52ml k-12 students in the US not sure but approx.
ECDC preparing to launch StudentConnect, see new website and see link to market research. Now I know why they hired KCSA, it is all making sense to me. I think I just added ECDC to my Xmas list
Thank you, I am just amazed at all the things I read. It seem some people cannot comprehend business development. All development news are considered fluff. it is crazy, if suddenly the partner network start to yield revenue result, will the news still be considered fluff????
Most times stocks do not reflect what a development stage company is doing. As OC said, the company may end up building one heck of school system, it blows up, Twitter shows up and buy the company. Everyone tracking the company today will declare themselves as Einstein, who knew it was a good buy.
I am a long and will remain a long until I see something in development and business strategy that tells me otherwise not stock price. So far I like what is unfolding in front of me.
He is incredible. However I agree with him, 2012 should be interesting. You've heard the saying you cant keep a good thing down, if ECDC is as good as I think, then some here will be eating their words in 2012.
With friend like that ECDC needs no enemies. Explains why Kay no longer take calls. Unless any of the public releases have been false his lawyer cant do jack. If he was made private promises it would be a violation and I doubt very much if he was made any private promises. You generally can hear an empty barrel make a lot of noice from the distance
Unless I am understanding something wrong, he said "he would raise money from private investors and not dilute the float":. Which would be correct if he is issuing restricted shares to private investors. How can he raise money from investors and not dilute O/S. The guy was probably talking about the float. So what is OC talking about. He is always talking about suing somebody. I don't get him. Read his comments carefully.
By the way I copied OC's posting and sent it to Kay and I told him that please go back and check yet he is on the board saying he knows Kay come to ihub.
One could technically read between the line however. Something is there, just don't want to get caught when it starts to fly. the revenue form the StudentConnect is incredible. I have done the numbers, if they pull it through the sky will fall.
My analysis of the 10Q report. We all saw a dramatic shift in business execution.
1. There was a sudden focus on Acquisitions, if what I hear is correct, there are more to come.
2. We all knew this was a one man operation since beginning of the year. There was no sales or marketing team in place
So the question is how does one person do acquisition and make sales, for anyone that has ever run a business it is impossible.
3. The 10Q reflected this change. Sales dropped in exchange for acquisition. We did not see the real number because if truth be told those numbers would be higher if we included RP numbers. Which was not. I will bet when combined would be higher than 2nd Q. that is the part everyone is missing. The 3Q report does not reflect the result of the 3rd quarter successful acquisition of Rogue paper.
So here are what I see in the future of the company based on observation:
1. He brought in a new director of sales and Marketing and a consultant for StudentConnect project
2. He now has a second source of revenue for the company (Rogue Paper)
3. I will expect to see EarthSearch sales get back on track in January 2012 not 2011, he is still doing acquisition and he probably is training new Director of sales so look to 2012
4. I will hope to see additional acquisition that increase revenue even better in 2012.
5. We should see StudentConnect implementation in the US in 2012
5. Lots of cheap shares issued to fund the company obviously, pps is down, we should see a drop in dilution with new PR firm and increased revenue.
6. He brought in a strong PR firm to handle things (probably the power move of the year for ECDC) shareholders should now see the stock hold ground and push back with increased PPS
What was disappointing to me:
Company has taken no action to defend its patent, this alone would drive the stock to over 5 cents.
Nevertheless I am very bullish on this stock.
I have to assume you think ZSTN will make or break the company? right? You cannot be serious in the total picture of what we are seeing unfold in front of us, you think ZSTN is the big deal here. If I remember correctly vanwes met with Kay personally and that Kay is not going to bow to some crappy deal out of China. I am guessing the ZSTN deal was a big part of the expectation for 3rd Q, but at what cost should he do the deal?
The 10Q did not surprise me. One guy trying to sell and do acquisitions? He must be planning to pull a Rabit out of his hat. I will imagine that is why he now has a director of sales.
I have always said those that discount this company will do so at their own peril. I am not even sure if Kay is concerned about our daily worries. Based on this release we should all know now that he has something up his sleeves and it is not short term. This is no off wall type of IR firm that you see most penny stock hire to just blast news. There has to be some coherent strategy being put together here. I know I am buying more today.
This 10Q mean so little in the big picture. It will not reflect any acquisition strategy, the IR/PR strategy. I truly believe this company is going to end up playing in the big leagues. this is a major IT firm you don't go this route unless you want to carry big sticks.
My feeling is something changed in the 3rd Q , all these talks about acquisition tells me there is a lot more going on than we know.
But does that info show that any of the insiders are selling any shares?
I am holding, I like what I am seeing and I understood the 3rd and 4th q were completely focused on acquisitions. so next year should be very good for us.
Does anyone know the daily average trading for ECDC?
You were for a moment - its a blip
Is it always only about the stock? what about what the company is doing or the business strategy being executed. do you see any value in the business itself, if you don't its easy get out
Can we just let this guy build us a profitable business for us. The guy just made a heck of an acquisition which some people on this board said was not going to happen. We know there are other acquisitions talks going on from what we have seem posted so far. It is clear there is a strategy to aggregate revenue and growth through acquisition. Something that will both shock and kill the shorts and help us all PPS
What will happen if this acquisitions lead to a 2-$3ml dollar year end revenue.???? will that not change PPS? Has anyone consider that may be what Kay is doing here?
Well, I don't know how anyone loose money in a long position if they have not sold the shares yet, seems to me a lot of people on this site are just lying. I ma still holding my shares and I am not panicking at all, in fact I am buying more. I got between .o15-.023. interesting is you find people who seem to know so much falling apart. the best way to evaluate a company like ECDC is to look at the technology, the business strategy and not the pps
Why is it difficult for some people to understand that a business need to raise money to build or run its operation, some of the talk on this site just make me wonder beyond trading whether there is really any understanding of how business work. If they are using the fund to acquire asset I am with them if they are just burning money I am with the bashers, I have not seen any reason to believe they are just burning money.
Are you sure? have you seen the short report?
There has been a lot of bogus rumors on this board about chill and restriction and all types of nonsense. thank you for clearing the air
Guys the S1 is not even approved yet and the Edge fund has not even been issued a draw notice stop the rumors. There are 200ml outstanding with 35-40ml float, the only concern here is how does a handful of people have so many shares to dump. people are dumping and selling into the wrong hands probably people on this board as well.
News! email from Kay to my question on PPS!
I am not just the CEO I am also a shareholder and extremely passionate about what I am doing. What shareholders will see over the next few weeks as we previously announced are acquisitions of certain properties in the social media and mobile app space that lead to aggregation of revenue that will make everyone understand that we are not going to be just a small bit player, I am building a very significant and sizable organization, that may and I hope collectively grow to be a major success for all of our shareholders in the next 1-2 years but it is tough, fraught with risks and very difficult process. Lack of capital makes it doubly tough, so it require strategic approach that may sometimes work or fail and sometimes are slow to show result.Hence a reason to have a Southridge type deal on the table
Is it because they know something we dont? I think so they seem to be more perspective regarding long term hold of the stock
Why the panick. We already know MM are manipulating, we beat them yesterday that came in this morning to scare us and send us a message are we going to fall for it?

Panic, lol!
Its going to be a long fight trying to keep this one down
OC, you are absolutely correct it is 4 business days not 5, they should have filed Friday, I think we will see the 8K before bell open Monday. Regarding your last comment, it will be interesting to see the next 10Q Kay had 48 million and is the largest shareholder, if Kay or any of the insiders have dumped any shares or taken more shares, that will tell us if this is a good play for us or not.
If they sold then its over for me, if they took more I will not be going anywhere any time soon
His job is not to chase PPS, if he chase PPS we hammer him for doing so, if he does not we say he does not care. We did not hire him to chase PPS we hire him to build a company and a business. You put it his comments out of context and in a negative way. what he said was that he cannot concern himself with PPS at the expense of the building the business.
How does a CEO affect the PPS other than building the business. You could not have lost your ass unless you have been selling. That is the definition of being a long. So I am lost here.
The 8K is officially due on Monday. It is 5 days from the date of completion of the deal. 5 business days from last Monday is this Monday the 31st.
I spoke to Kay, I don't believe the 3rd Q will be that great or even profitable. In my conversation with him most of the project in 3rd Q fell into the 4th Q like ZSTN. Yes, he did say they are still talking to ZSTN and the deal is still on the table.
Dilution is relative my friend, if dilution done is to acquire growth it is worth it.
Look at the finra report and you will see there is no DUMPING just SHORTING
Wait a minute, you visited ECDC?. People did you see that, he visited ECDC, "ECDC is a real company with real product". Please tell us more, tell us about the operation did they show you around, what does Kay look like, did you see the LogiBoxx device. tell us more. this is somenting you don't see in a penny.
Based on history they will file 8K today I am certain
Me and you both. I agree with you the board can be over excited sometimes. I always focus on analyzing the business activities not the stock movement because that is influenced by many things beyond ECDC's control. As far as I am concerned a lot of the expectation is misplaced, I will only expect to see some significant move on the business in 2012.
What you can see is that the company is laying some darn good foundations with acquisitions, partner networks, licensing, good business diversification strategy. even with all of those things we have to give it all time to start yielding results. We all know one hit wonders never last and overnight sensations always burn out. I like the slow and steady movements.
The only danger I see right now is that the low pps may limit capitalization or lead to major dilution. but if he is smart, he will bring in some promotion raise the pps and capitalize at low cost to continue growth. Just my feeling about the company.
what if 8K tomorrow? question goes both ways, are you going to do anything different?
My feeling is that at this price the company will dilute to raise money I don't see any other way.
Now we know there is a strategy to the madness in ECDC stock
OC you are finally seeing the picture. It is like planting seeds. I still think the twitter angle is the real story behind the Rogue Paper deal
