A look at the numbers tells me this is still a $35.00 plus stock. That won't happen fast though. I see the news story today compared it to Krispy Kreme, that caused some panic and hardly justified at this juncture.
Will check back in a few days
This is going to be a wild one tomorrow
holding for a big recovery here
Agree loaded in AH
up day tomorrow
sell off overdone here
I realize we have eyes on us. For good reason the planned acquisition of BrandE and appointment of Steve Baughman bring a very strong group of new principals to the company with a successful business background. Potential celebrity clients come with Steve. Literally a new company is being formed.
The eyes should give this time to fully execute. That being said the last pr suggested RTG will provide details on the roll-out and initial focus shortly.
The info will be follow up on to the LA Business Journal article( listed in stickies) to speak of Steve's ability to fast forward, first DC, then RTG. I "hope" we can also get a acquisition progress update as well.
Brand is rolling out its own BP which we will get details upon completion of the merger.
Can't push these things they happen at their own pace. That being said I am pushing hard anyway as the shareholders voice. Contacting them several times in the past couple of days. IMO The faster things execute the greater opportunity for their overall plan( whatever it is) to have maximum impact. I completely understand the complexities of an acquisition/merger and the amount of work that needs to be carefully done.
I already posted on that
Have a great rest of weekend folks always nice coming here and getting spanked! I do not have to post here and can easily exit with the click of a button. I think most do not want that at this time. I personally would love to not post until the deal is done and the new company is ready to roll itself out
correct Threeflight
You want IR to get something concrete out when two companies and their attorneys are working on the final deal. Sorry I have zero control over the legal process involved here. When the company has news they are good at getting it out.
Exactly and until its papered you will not see any roll out of the new company. Considering when they started this and progress so far it looks like things are moving fast. As long as nothing goes wrong and this comes to fruition we then have a new company.
ohh I am always in their face but execution of the acquisition and the new business plan I have zero control. I like what I see in Steve Baughman and BrandE. My shares I bought still have a basis of over a penny so I want this to come fully back and then some.
The company must rise on its own merits no pump will fix things that just leaves someone else stuck. That is what your suggesting pump it to someone else. sad!
The merger from pr's and recent shareholders contacting the new principals getting a response looks like things are very much on track. If its a successful acquisition on good terms and the new company delivers out of the box things change fast. If not.........
Look 0.015 to 0.003 happened fast as we all know and out of the blue. Hanging in there to help repair this and give it a shot at full recovery is the right thing to do. Looking at the new company being formed the prospects of a full recovery never looked better
Quick Look at the new team coming

That piece I will agree with. I was surprised to see the OS over 500M and it made it clear it needed to be raised. You can not issue over your AS.
Look we have a new company being formed with some new principals with a very excellent business past. This is not the time to hang it up. Let us see what changes come with the soon to be new company. We all wanted a merger back months ago knowing that is whats needed. We appear to be getting what we want. This is a good thing and exciting
I am all for getting what your entitled to and would support him
Unless they are able to secure longer term funding with better terms and end that note. Tough task with stock so low but let's see what the acquisition of BrandE management brings with them
Then you should receive your shares.
You have to understand that PR was put out about restructuring the note that was killing the stock at the time. It was threatening to end the company. So stoping it was hugh. Yes there are other notes in filings which were quite clear and a couple labeled due on demand. Bottom line at the time if they failed to restructure the note we are speaking of it may have been game over
Your note must be one of the ones that are due on demand in the Q? If so why not convert if not paid?
You are saying your part of the debenture that was converting early in the year which was prd as restructured? I think you must speak of a different one. No one said they paid off anything the company commented they plan on paying the restructured note off that would be due in late August .
It was very clear until you added words that were not there. Try looking at the Q for that time period in conjunction with the PR. I think most understand the PR quite well and the company recently allowed me to post that the note is indeed stopped and they intend to pay it off
Go RTGV!!
You have mis quoted that pr many times. Read it again and tell me where it says no more dilution
I think this post nailed it from jhnvtjll
"As far as I remember, the PR said no debt conversion for 6 months. That doesn't necessarily mean no dilution at all, right? The 47M shares added since Feb. 29 may not have anything to do with the short-term debt that was subject to equity conversion."
From the PR. I see no mention about other entries dealing with funding that are in filings just the short term debt subject to equity conversion regarding the note that damaged the stock.
"has been in negotiations to restructure its remaining short-term debt subject to equity conversion to ensure a six-month hiatus from the debt conversion which has been taking place since mid-September. The new contractual terms will contain that provision. The Company's intent is to pay the debt in full, in cash, on or before the six-months forward due date. This intended action replicates the Company's strategy as one of the short-term financing tactics utilized during its first year of operation. In fact, payment of RTG's first six-month debenture incurred in September, 2010, and was fully repaid in cash in March, 2011."
No need to discuss further as the PR and the filings are quite clear
RTG Ventures will shortly be announcing a joint interview to shareholders with Steve Baughman, Head of US Operations and Reggie James to outline the future vision of the company. The interview will expand upon the LA Business Journal released on Monday, April 23, 2012.

Great to hear from several shareholders Aderra and BrandE have been responding to shareholders.
A new company is about to be born
Excuse me? Its not a question of trusting me or not its a question of reading the SEC audited filings. I direct you to them as that is the way it should be. That is full disclosure. If you do not understand them get someone qualified that does
I do not comment on filings or interpret them as I am not qualified.
However I sent this question to the company just in case they wanted to answer it.
I got your answer
"There are NO unsold shares held by the "toxic" lender. Each conversion has been accounted for, all have been sold, the last end Feb."
I am checking out will be back by mid next week
From the company
"The "toxic" noteholders have had NO shares or conversion option, since February, 2012. These guys are not in play again until August, but, as you know, RTG fully intends to pay them off before then"
I am out for the weekend have a great one everyone
The expectation is that news will flow once the merger is completed. They have had about 15 prs this year and continue to put news out when they have it. Last thing I want to see is any news manufactured as they are working on a very serious deal. This is a company that is trying hard to make a real business out of it not a pump and dump. I hope it concludes soon as I think that will change things fast. I know they are moving as fast as humanly possible on the deal.There are attorneys at work as well they have their own time lines
Last pr stated an interview with Reggie and Steve from Aderra is coming
I look to filings like everyone else. That is the great thing about fully reporting versus not.
There was no pr that stated no dilution by my recollection. It stated the note that caused most of the damage was restructured. That is in the filing as well.
That is documented in the filing too. I do agree the filings is where one should take their info from. That is why they are there
"One just needs to look at the filings, the pr that was worded "strange" "
I assume you refer to the preferred share PR which is in the audited filings. Nothing strange about it at all. It is exactly what it states
Not completely but if the DTC files are looked at for a select time period it shows all the trades and those that do not show up on the nobo list. I guess it could be a very valuable tool to know what brokerage houses are holding how many shares. I think you picked off some good info there
This was mentioned in the acquisition pr a couple weeks back
"A Share Purchase Agreement is being prepared and the details of the merger will be disclosed in due course. It is intended that the Company will be renamed and the trading symbol changed."
This from todays PR and its a reference to the Nobo List
This is a fundamental cornerstone moving forward for our planned acquisition of Brand Entertain.
Descending share ownership/high to low -Name and address
-broker for each acct
-aggregate number of accts and total shares by brokerage house
-total number of accts/total number of shares in float
IMPORTANT: A NOBO List can only be ordered by a Company officer and is eyes only for the Company.
Info only available to the Company, cannot be used for marketing , but can be used to disseminate information and mass communication under Regulation FD.
They should have the Nobo in their possession now. It was ordered a while ago it takes 7 to 10 days to arrive. Investo7 had some good posts today. I believe they are formulating a plan to role this merger out. I am basically told yhey do not want to give little tid bits away they prefer to await the ability to execute the full plan step by step. Therefore I think you give some good advise in this post
Please do not take my response to you wrong. I was merely making a point about something that is very important to me. I did catch your positive comment , thank you. I respect the fact many are taking a wait and see approach. I actually think some big money is sitting on the sidelines waiting for the right news. That is a very good thing.
Best of luck and please keep an eye on us
