penny_ta, ** Anyone know anything about the MM MICA?
MM MICA is (Spartan Securities)
Some Wisdom from Varok
The 3 P's of Investing and the Strategy that can maximize your ROI.
* Principle
* Profit
* Potential
Investing and trading in the pennies is based on one's ability to fully understand what he/she has and when to sell.
Penny companies and the arena they trade in are the most unpredictable and have left investors/traders with losses that with a smart strategy, could have been avoided.
Emotion and Anxiety and Greed,three of the prevailing sentiments that always seem to be the guiding force on investors as when to buy and sell,only to acknowledge it is discipline that will pave your road to a successful ROI.
I'm only discussing the unpredictable and unregulated market,known as the pinksheets...Here the Market Makers and not the investor have the total control and you as the investor must learn to either stay one step ahead or fall victim as most usually do.
When you trade in this market you first must at the earliest opportunity to remove your Principle..
The best way to assess this part is divide your total share account into 3 parts..The first 33% is your Principle,the second 33% is your Profit and the remaining is your Potential.
We have all experienced nice runs only to find your issue floundering at the bottom never to return..It is this first run that one should remove the Principle investment..This should always be applied and under No circumstances should you deviate from this..If you feel that the issue warrants a second run,it is your Profit that will be your next exit..Remember,if you removed your Principle investment you will have taken a huge risk out of the market and your Emotions will become less of a factor..
Potential...The last of the 3 P's is the most difficult and should only be left as an investment if the company has a business model that can generate revenue,but most importantly, can ROI based on the forward fundamentals of the company be realized..One assessment that you must take into account is the share structure verses Market Cap..It is this one and very much overlooked part that will determine the true value and fair value with respect to share price and where it will eventually go...
Posted By Varok over the weekend
Friday's announcement of the iFinix Real-Time Information Platform will begin operations Monday, July 16 is a powerful message and should put to rest the negative sentiment on the launch, or when the launch is going to happen..This is not by any rational reasoning as a setback,but quite the contrary, that the launch has begun..
The next two weeks will probably be in the history of this company, trading as a penny play are over in my opinion.The company indicated on July 23rd, they will release their Financial statements showing another indication of transparency to us and future partners that they mean business..
As I have mentioned in my previous post from June 20th...To not be able to successfully launch could damage their reputation forever and Friday's PR is a very telling indication, we are on our way folks,the launch is on.
Next week, given the 4th being in the middle of the week,trading by volume will be mediocre, but we will see a higher share price...We will probably lose a decimal point and put us in a range of .001-.003...Yesterday, after the close, was another attempt by MMs not to show this volume during the trading session..Friday ended the trading month for June and MMs had to balance out and I can almost assure you that the inventory isn't in their hands, but ours..We should've closed out the month at .0006 or .0007 just by the volume shown after hours,but the MMs like always, have their own plans..This was an indication to me at least,that some of the volume is a result that the 504s equity program may have come to an end..I also don't think the company will be selling shares into the market going into launch,all the while the share price is trading in the gutter...This would look extremely unprofessional while promoting this program to broker/dealers of microcap stocks ...I believe the timely announcements are all part of a well coordinated effort by the company for a major market awareness program that started last week and will continue with additional PRs in the coming days and push up the share price before July 16th..
The company has their funding, the financiers are out of the way and last week the Media advertisements have started on major networks and will probably continue through next week..
Chairman Budhu mentioned confidently that the 2007 Business Plan is meeting it's objectives.
-- Launch Monday,July 16..
-- On July 23, the company will publish its financial reports for
calendar year 2006 and the first and second quarter of 2007, which will
cover the current year up to June 30.
-- In August, iFinix expects to enter beta testing for its eFinix
wireless, web-based version of the iFinix Real-Time Information Platform.
-- In October, the company expects to launch the eFinix, a wireless, web-
based version of the iFinix Real-Time Information Platform.
It's going to get exciting!!
July will be our month..
Have a good day

Posted By varok, June 20, 2007
With yesterday's PR about airing and today's release of 3 months free trial for shareholders is a subliminal message..As the company has mentioned that the national rollout for the platform is end of 2nd quarter, is on track.
The company has taken a major stake, not to mention the investment dollars to announce this upcoming event..One must realize that taking such action only to fail would jeopardize the company's reputation forever..In this business,it is all about trust,honesty and accuracy.
The company would never announce on the major networks if they didn't felt that the trading platform wasn't ready..It appears these events is based on timely circumstances and well placed coordinated releases for the major announcement that is about to unfold.
Some are speculation that it may be rolled out after the July 4th and may be,but it also could benefit the company to roll it out before hand so the upcoming long weekend will allow this event be the talk of the town.
Whenever it gets rollout,one thing is for sure that the company has made great strides in working out the glitches and this weeks press release, makes certain the end to this saga is about to be unfolded..
Today's volume and the holding of .0006 is a good sign and I see us closing on a penny either this week as more news gets released..
This is a new product announcement,these issues are never taken lightly and is a big deal.
It isn't too late to acquire at .0005 or even .0006..This issue has written pennies all over it.
Have a good day

I did make my contributions and if they are there for you to read and digest isn't that sufficient?
I made the trips, made the reports and always have to say that they are impressions that will have to be followed up by company communications and performance.
How have I ever deviated from that? Sure, I had my enthusiasms as I dug into the story and we all have up and down days, but overall I reported back to the board, I advocated shareholder interests and then discussed various aspects of trading as a help when I had the time which I don't have now.
But I'm not inventing anything, I don't post elaborate potential scenarios about what the company is or could be doing, make connections via imagination. I basically stuck to what is known or knowable and left it at that.
I never said to the moon. I think the stock could be much higher than it is now and will be personally rewarded by that so I have every reason to see it go higher, but I'm not going to pump the stock. I consider it prudent to be patient and wait and see what happens next and that is what I think it true.
I would appreciate some slack for not posting constantly all the time. Was I posting relentlessly as it went up every day for 2 weeks? No, I had a couple of more active days, but otherwise I was in and out, but not constantly on the board. Please make your own trading and investing decisions without my input and if previous posts are part of your DD, continue to do your own. OK? Thank you

Of course you don't have a position..I don't think anybody here or your other stomping ground (ihub) believes you do.
As well, you can't justify your miserable existence by convincing folks you are a Good Samaritan.That is complete BS and hogwash..
You are a known basher that has been proven over and over again..
You are a dishonest and deceitful manipulative old *&^%$ with an ulterior motive..
The MMS have taken all the stops by bringing cretins like yourself to this thread and for the last couple of weeks and now your presense with other known bashers can only ampify this course and your intent.
Bashing a stock during the halt was for what now??
And now your disgusting presense on an off trading day and almost 24/7 is only going to reassure the inexperienced newbie that we as shareholders will prevail.
As I have said,you are NO good and never have been a decent person..Your record is well known and I know you feel right at home in this swell of a sesspool..Your smell goes far back as 1999 and still lingers today..
There is NO way you could ever come around and redeem yourself,you are the worst of the worst..

Rio, Here is someone who met with INXR management.
"What is your opinion on Infinix's management. Do you think they have a good product, and can they deliver? Do you think the price will go to or above .004?"

Greetings. I have met with INXR management and the short version is I'm very to have bought into this stock now because they were very earnest and appear to have a serious plan for delivering product and marketing. I'd say we are in good shape at these levels awaiting for the company to continue their communications with us.
I believe INXR may be savvy about providing tools that many of us who prospect for good finds in the penny stock world can use. If they deliver I believe Alphatrade will be in for some stiff competition. This should be available as a web enabled platform at a comparable pricing point with additional features that Alphatrade does not have or would charge extra for. I, for one, would love a robust microcap/pink-enabled data feed with Level 2, T&S, advanced screening and alert features.
I have been asked about their affiliation with CMA and what I now understand much better is CMA is very successful in Brazil. iFinix has a partnership with CMA whereby they have redone much of the older code in VC++ with contemporary coding. INXR interfaces should soon revamp the whole appearance of the original CMA platform. Because of this CMA has an abiding interest in the development efforts of iFinix.
I asked the company to explain this better than I can and hope they will do so ASAP, but the essence for me is they are not just Private Labling a product, they are working with a platform already used by hundreds of thousands of users in South America and modernizing it for the North American markets. I believe CMA's interest then is INXR's improvements can be leveraged to an existing user base though I'm not sure if that entails a royalty stream for INXR or CMA taking an equity interest in the future of the company (which would be a very big positive I think).
My impression of Dru and Doug was they are very earnest. My understanding of the history of the company is they got mishandled by earlier financiers who executed a dump of their shares and iFinix never got the funds from the equity raise. This set iFinix back a couple of years ago. I wanted to know what was different this time and they said they will protect their share structure while they grow the company. They did dilute in 2006 at a disadvantage but they retained the funds for their business and take very little in salary.
I asked them if they would be fully open about their share structure and they said yes. I have asked them to have their transfer agent be authorized to disclose their share structure. They seemed to believe this could be beneficial and I hope they will also address this soon. The two principals each own 250M shares approximately so there is 1/3rd of the OS held by insiders. This is very good.
They are very adamant about going to the OTC. They seem to have been through the fire once before and they hate being on the pinks and the financials are being worked on now by Scott Moore with the intention of having Spartan Securities sponsor the paperwork and processed ASAP. I will be making an appointment to discuss this with Spartan officials to confirm all of this in a week or so. They seem genuine. When I stressed how important good future share structure management is and the listing is they were all ears and not in the least bit resistant to my exhortations. They do seem legit thus far and remember that I did initially greenlight my DD on the CFO as being legit so it is looking good.
They affirmed they have an advertising firm lined up that is preparation for a print and TV campaign. I don't have a time frame for this.
My sense of the story right now is we are moving along towards an OTC listing. If that goes smoothly we could be holding INXR.OB next month but don't hold me to it. With that accomplished I'd be looking for a very interesting road ahead for this company. There should be some further arrangements coming about brokerage relationships and perhaps new data feeds. What really excites me is we may have on our hands a company that will serve microcap traders and investors as a target audience and that could really fuel this stock greatly. For a 1/10th of a cent I get to be in on that so I'm very happy about this right now.
These are my quick notes written on the run and I will amend it later if any other thoughts come to mind. In sum, this seems like a legit company to me. That was the bottom line. That is square one. That looks like a solid assumption thus far so we can be content about that right now while we wait for further communications from INXR. They are shareholder friendly thus far too so I'm rooting for them and for us too.
I've got a super busy schedule and tried to knock out this first post so I caught you today and it frees me up a bit more this weekend as I still have much to do. I'll try to do some board moderation first, then I'll try to get caught up with INXR-related replies and queries late Sunday night or early Monday morning.
All the best

Some excerpts...
Which leads to my other piece of advice. Be patient. The great fortunes are made by taking a position and being patient, not by trying to time every step of the way. Forget about that. You cannot time success. It doesn't work. You pick your goals and you stick to them and in investing that means finding the right stock and committing. Keep doing your research while you hold, but realize BUSINESS TAKES TIME. Real business, not fantasy business like we see everyday being PR'd in penny stock land, takes time to mature.
Every success story is both simple and complex. The simple reason is the one you invest in - the story has focus, the plan has a target and the goal is understood by all: shareholders, management, consumers, vendors, clients, everyone understands the business plan. And it is complex because the world is complex and there are always another set of details around every corner that need to be attended to.
Successful companies do not pump themselves too far ahead of their ability to achieve their stated objectives. They say what their goals are and then set out to achieve them. It is really the shareholders who get all bent out of shape trying to time the developments, not the company itself. If something is going to happen in 1 month or 3 months, that is not necessarily something the company will divulge. Sometimes the best or the only prudent thing to do is to state the objective and leave the time frames open.
That is why I have said to succeed often means picking the right company and banking on the management and their business plan and not trying to time every little thing. What week the products are released or the OTC listing is really not the point at all. You have clearly seen this stock has been accumulated. Sometimes you need to pay attention to obvious clues and a big one is there are people who are accumulating, placing their bets and who are not trying to time every little detail.
Are they smart money? If they come in and out rapidly, probably not, but if there has been steady and significant volume for well over a month like there has been here, then there definitely appears to be people who have the conviction to stick this one out. You often do not see that with stocks of any kind, but especially with a sub-penny pink sheet. I suggest you give this serious thought.
Many of those longs who probably have large positions of 25-100M shares each have no intention of settling for a mere double, but are looking to get rich, maybe retire and some are doing it for the first time in earnest instead of chasing momo stocks in the hope of finally leaving behind their day job. Whether or not INXR is going to be that stock, at some point in your investing career you need to load up on something and ride it well if it does turn out to be a real winner.
That's my take on how to get rich and why INXR might be one of those. We can't conclude it is yet, but we have some real inklings of what might happen and I'd say our odds of doing it here and of achieving multiples in the tens or hundreds of times our original investment costs are better here than most anything else I see out there right now.
That is why I say you should not be too focused on how quickly any one development will hit. Usually the bigger stories percolate along for a while and then the dam breaks open, both for the company and for the stock. If someone said to you the company will have its first 1,000 users within 3 months and they are about to go profitable and new brokerages keep signing on to create your own network of microcap trader-friendly brokerages operated through your single iFinix trading platform, wouldn't you want to have stuck around for that? I sure would. So I wouldn't obsess over timing this. One month you could be losing patience and the next month the dam could breaking and the stock soaring. If you really believe the stock is for you, any stock, this or any other that really convinces you of its potential for major gains, then don't get lost in worry and find yourself on the outside looking in just when things really heat up. You need to be in it to win it.
With all that said, I'm perfectly happy with slow and steady for the coming months and I seriously doubt we will go without solid developments in March and every month thereafter. Just get into your loaded boat and let the tide rise and the water come to you. Don't be hunting for a vessel when the flood comes because by then it will be too late to build a position so cheaply and profitably as you would be able to now and in the coming weeks.
All the best
iFinix Chairman, Drew Budhu, said, "The company is on track to fulfill all three of these major objectives."
He noted that the news announcement of the iFinix RealTime information platform marketing program drew 206 inquiries from traders who were interested in signing up for the free subscription offer for the iFinix RealTime information program. When launched, it supplies the most timely and accurate pricing and volume data available for microcap stocks today.
In regard to the iFinix RealTime information platform marketing program, he also reported that the scheduled television commercials were already in production.
In regard to iFinix Trader, which will add trade execution functionality and account management features to the iFinix RealTime platform, he noted that the company has begun to negotiate partnerships with broker-dealers that will integrate their operations with the iFinix Trader.
The company announced that it's "on track" for meeting three major objectives of the 2007 Business Plan.
These are:
-- By end of second-quarter 2007 to launch iFinix RealTime information
platform with the technical team needed to provide ongoing customer
support;
-- By end of second-quarter 2007 to launch marketing program for iFinix
RealTime information platform; and
-- By end of third-quarter 2007 to launch iFinix Trader and eFinix.

JG,Confessions of a Paid Stock Basher
Today I want to come clean about something I feel very badly about. I cannot undo some of the things I have done, but hopefully this message will prevent other such occurrences in the future.
I am a paid basher.
Yes, it is true. Today is my last day at this company; I'm moving on to a new job. I've realized that there are more dignifying jobs out there that can pay me equally as well. But before I go, I want to explain a few things because this just isn't right and I won't feel good about myself until I expose this sham. It's hurt too many people and I don't want it on my conscience anymore. I can no longer live with a lie.
I work for a company called Global Calumny Funds in Stamford, CT. Basically, it's a Boiler Room much like the one in the movie of the same name. The idea behind my group is to bash the price of a company's stock down low enough to where the group of investors who retained our company's services can buy the stock really cheap and perhaps even take it over all together.
There are approximately 70 people at the company divided into several groups. My group, consisting of 5 people, is responsible for IDWD. While I probably shouldn't give any names of anyone working here now, what the heck, I'm leaving here, so what can they do? sue me? Ha! I can tell you that laptoptrader and janice shell were part of my group until he left last week, as was ninaturtle. Others who have been part of this include early bashers like hard data and Investorman. You may be interested to know that some hypsters, such as MONEYMADE and even Datatech!!, have also been part of the scam (more on that later).
There are several companies engaged in the bashing business, ours is not the only one. However, I can tell you that not every basher in here is a paid basher. Having done this for a year, I can usually tell who is a paid basher and who is merely someone having a little fun. While unpaid bashers have a different motive than someone like me, they can be unwilling accomplices to helping me achieve my ultimate goal and they also spread rumor and confusion throughout a room, which also helps me.
What is that goal? Well, I am merely a cog in a much larger machine, so my bosses never really explained the big picture to me, but I'd say essentially, Shaddowwatch2oo3 was right. There are several companies who are quite familiar with Jim Bishop and Janice Shell and who are deathly afraid of them.
There are three types of bashers here at Global Calumny Funds: Advanced, Intermediate and Beginner. An Advanced-level basher (also known as a Silver Tongued Devil) would spread false or misleading information about the company.
They would deal in facts, countering every longs post with articles, news reports and opinion surveys that gave a negative impression about the company.
An Intermediate-level basher (also known as a Serpent) would try to weasel their way into the confidence of longs and create doubt using rumor or innuendo.
Finally, a Beginner-level basher (also known as a Pitchfork) would attempt to create confusion in the room by distracting other posters with satire, name calling and pointless arguments. The idea was to make sure no serious discussion of the stock could take place. A Pitchfork was usually a basher, but not always. Sometimes, we would throw in a hypster Pitchfork such as MONEYMADE and laptop and a pumper like Datatech to create the illusion of an argument going on. What was really funny (in a perverse way, I guess) was that Datatech and I sat next to each other, laughing the whole time.
I was a Serpent basher, because I am known for effective bashing based on solid facts and truth. I was paid a base wage of $18 an hour for my services. I was given a $1.25 bonus for every decent quality post over 100 per day as well as a monthly bonus of $100 for every penny the stock had dropped from the previous month. I was also paid a bonus for bashing on weekends. While this may not sound like much, I made a decent, though dishonorable, paycheck plus a nice Laptop with free wireless internet connection.
Each of us sat in a small half-cubicle in a cluster with our teammates. Each group (usually five people) was made of three beginners (two who would bash and one who would hype), one intermediate and one advanced level basher. Occasionally for some of the hotter stocks, one of the beginners would be replaced by an intermediate depending on how much the stock was rising. IDWD was a low-level stock, meaning it got the 3-1-1 configuration.
Honestly though, somehow, I get the feeling that WV Hillbilly may have worked for a basher company or knows someone who does because the fund websites he occasionally posts is eerily similar to our employer's websites. While not exact, I'd say it is about 90 percent the same. We do have certain rules that we follow.
First, we have to develop a character and stay within that character in order to build a "following." My character, "FogOfWar," was a humorous, sarcastic, obnoxious supporter of free speech and loved to portray himself as a truth-telling superhero, but only when it came to bashers.
Next, we had to follow certain guidelines on what we could say. We were urged to have an "answer" to every long's question, but we were to frame that answer in a way that ridiculed the questioner for asking such a question. However, we were never to use profanity or vulgarity because that would cause people to ignore us. We were to make fun of people, but in a civil way. The idea was to get "play," i.e. reaction from other posters. The more play we got, the more the room would be disrupted. Ignored posters get no play. One exception would be the hypsters since they were "defending" the stock against our onslaught, they got a little more leeway. People would side with the hypster because they thought he was real since he appeared to be on their side, but was really on ours, setting us up to disrupt the room. MoneyMade was quite good at this and gets paid very well.
I've worked on IDWD, VLO, AGII, QBID, BKMP for a few months now. In addition to the FogOfWar alias, I've used a few others on several other boards as well. I've used so many aliases that I can not remember the monikers or the passwords. I honestly lost track of everything. I stuck with FogOfWar because it was the one that got the most play from other posters.
In closing, I feel absolutely terrible about this. It's just awful how I've been part of a scam designed to cheat honest, hard-working people out of their investments all for the
benefit of a few wealthy people who already have enough money to last a lifetime.
These greedy people MUST be stopped. That's why I'm posting this before I leave. I want to make up for some of the damage I've done. I can't live with this lie anymore. You can't imagine how hard it is to look at myself in the mirror each morning knowing my job is to cheat and lie.
I have to go now, I'm too broken up to continue. I hope this confession can make up for my sordid deeds; I would urge everyone who reads this to inform as many people as you can. Only by shining the light of truth can we drive these rats back into the darkness from whence they came. Believe me, they don't want publicity.
Good luck and I hope all of you the best in your investment endeavors.
Your trading a company with 2 things to sell, STOCK & a STORY!
Penny companies only have 2 things to sell, when in development stage.
During this stage they have what resembles a company product, a business plan, few employees and consultants paid with stock in the company.
They market this combo by selling a PR story to retail traders.
If they do a good job, the PP's will rise. This rise will show partners (VC'S) that by using stock funding, the funding investors can make a profit by using their stock.
And believe me, entities that fund penny companies don't see financials to support expected profits, from company growth.
It takes a REAL good Management to actually get growth from the funding. By using it correctly. And those that fund pennies in the beginning, don't plan on staying around long.
Usually a year and out.
If the year is reached, you'll see increasing and more equal funding coming in.
Step by step. Sell the story, sell the stock, grow a little and start over. Trip anywhere along the climb and the penny company is gone.
So when you start playing penny stocks, know your trading a company with 2 things to sell, STOCK & a STORY!
Most of the time the stock succeeds due to the story. And once it gets going, the timing of the story becomes more important than the story itself.
You'll see a PR cycle start. The cycle will range from 9 to 12 days, then 18 to 30 days. If the story comes out once a week it's just starting out.
You'll be able to see PR's happening each time the PP's support slips. The PP's slips, because the retail traders haven't been dished up a new dose of emotion.
So if you ever see the timing fall apart or the stories seem to be worthless, you know the company is not doing well.
It's not doing well because they didn't sell the stock to funding partners, and because of no funding they can't execute the business plan, which stops the PR story from producing real new hopes and you begin to read fluff.
You can go to any penny company and look at the PR history. Watch when PR's start to come more frequently, that's saying the company is ready to seek funding.
Those preliminary stories normally involve stock restructuring, then talks with or letters of intent from groups that would use their product, but no contracts.
When they get a few stock PP's runs, you'll see PR's about funding deals, That is if management knows how to close a deal, a funding deal and finally contracts as the company starts succeeding at their quest.
Because if management is good enough to close a funding deal, their usually good enough to close a contract or two.
The snow ball starts. Some time the snow ball gets past the managements ability.
Failure to back up a PR to often shows this.
Management is just not good enough to keep the ball rolling.

Allie, many pinkies with O/S of 5-8 Billion shares have had runs from supersubpenny to at least a half cent, and often within weeks to months, not years. With that type of percentage gain, a 10+ bagger, INXR could very realistically get there, especially if management keeps to their plans and time frames. It would mean a run from $0.0004 to just $0.004, and that's not outside the realm of very realistic. I think that flippers and those wanting quick profits who mostly bought this round at $0.0003-4 will be long gone from the stock by the time it gets to $0.001 and those staying for higher gains will help the run go much higher, like the first time.
I really do not see SPZI making a 10+ BAGGER gain from current levels in the same short time frame, which is why I say the bigger percentage gainer in the faster amount of time will more likely be INXR. I think most are NOT expecting 2-5 cents on SPZI within a month or two, or am I incorrect in this assumption?
Just my humble opinion, of course. An O/S count of under 10B (more likely 4-5 B in the case of INXR can easily support a share price of $0.004's and more. Much depends on the product launch this time around.
The Gospel According to De Beers
Published: April 18, 2007 in Knowledge@Wharton
During a recent Wharton Leadership Lecture, De Beers managing director Gareth Penny offered his audience a multimedia presentation about the international diamond company. It included a backdrop collage on the mining industry with pictures of workers, children and one diamond-drenched model, along with a three-minute film that promoted diamonds through the ages as "Tears of the Gods" (according to the ancient Greeks), "Splinters of Falling Stars" (so said the Romans) and, of course, "A Diamond Is Forever" (the marketing mantra and internationally famous advertising slogan of De Beers).
And while it was clear from the promotional props that diamonds have, in fact, been around forever ("before dinosaurs roamed the earth"), De Beers has not. As Penny reviewed the history of the world's leading diamond mining and marketing company -- founded in South Africa in 1888 -- he discussed the radical changes De Beers has made to its business model over the last eight years.
In its quest to become the world's leading diamond company, De Beers had, over several decades, developed a strategy based on controlling not only large diamond mines, but also the central supply of diamonds. Often called a cartel or a cooperative, De Beers' single channel marketing exchange held all the rough diamonds available on the open market as a way to regulate demand and set prices.
Over time, De Beers' efforts to control the supply of diamonds resulted in a stockpile worth $5 billion -- a stash that ultimately worked against the company. Between 1989 and 1999, according to Penny, De Beers -- by now a "celebrated case study of a monopoly" -- failed to make a profit. Hit with antitrust suits brought by the Department of Justice, De Beers was banned from doing business in the U.S. An article in The New York Times noted in 2000 that "the company's huge accumulation of raw gems, used to help control the supply and keep world diamond prices high, had become a costly albatross. De Beers' shrinking share of the market was making it harder to support prices by sopping up gems itself."
After undergoing a strategic review, De Beers decided to abandon more than 100 years of supply-side management and monopoly in order to increase global demand for diamonds. According to Penny, the company abolished third-party contracts, closed 14 business offices and "deliberately moved away from a system driven by central supply to one driven by demand."
Radical Departure
Penny is credited with being the architect of De Beers radical new business model, one that "reshaped not only the world's largest diamond company but an entire industry." As the changes were implemented, De Beers watched both its net earnings and profits begin to grow again, with reported net earnings of $730 million in 2006. After settling its outstanding antitrust and civil class action suits with the U.S., De Beers is now free to operate retail stores in New York, Los Angeles and Las Vegas as well as other locations around the world.
"We are now operating as any other business," said Penny. And in a radical departure from its days of stockpiling billions of dollars worth of diamonds, "we now have two months' worth of stock, total. So from the time we mine something in the ground to [the time we] sell it to our clients, we have a couple of months in our pipeline, which we are very proud of."
In 2001, De Beers' shareholders took the company private in a transaction worth $19.2 billion. Today, the De Beers Group is a privately owned company with three sets of shareholders. It operates in 25 countries and employs approximately 22,000 people, with 17,000 based in southern Africa. De Beers produces 40% of the world's supply of rough diamonds from 15 mines across Botswana, Namibia, South Africa and Tanzania.
Alert! We are about to Launch!
" The company announced that it's "on track" for meeting three major objectives of the 2007 Business Plan. These are:
1.By end of second-quarter 2007 to launch iFinix RealTime information platform with the technical team needed to provide ongoing customer support.
2.By end of second-quarter 2007 to launch marketing program for iFinix RealTime information platform; and
3.By end of third-quarter 2007 to launch iFinix Trader and eFinix. iFinix Chairman, Drew Budhu, said, "The company is on track to fulfill all three of these major objectives."
4.Volume since the begining of May was well over a billion and a quarter...Clearly a seller of the 504 and most of these type instruments can bring in up to $1 million..
5.Makes me think the 504 was there probably adding an additional 3/4 quarters of these shares into the retail market...
6.This calls for a certain amount of dilution going unchecked in a manner,perfectly legal,but can put a strain on ROI.
7.Ok,look at the timeline and where we are now and at the bottom trading at .0003 makes this a great entry for this next run..I feel that the 504s may be coming to an end.IMO.
The May 8th PR is really telling..Read it!!!
We are about to launch!

I mentioned that .0003 was a decent entry and coming off highs from a few months back of .002 range,it has now,once again, come down to timing..
We could very well be on the cusp of another huge potential run..
Consider the variables..The company had to to build the infrastructure and beta testing the new software got delayed that is so common in this industry - Don't go online when you haven't totally been able to run a smooth program - Much of the run from the last .0002 to .002 range was based on just what was mentioned..Too soon,yet not perfected...
We are about to turn that around...
The highs was based on the new trading platform coming much sooner,but the much needed capital set it back and probably snags..As with many companies, they look for various investment vehicles and the company has placed private investment 504s that have been retailing into the market over the last couple of months...
The volume over the last months have been high and with each day the price has pulled back to where we almost first started back late last year..But!! With a refined and operating trading platform and program.
Here is where we are now.
The business plan back on February 2007 pretty much laid it out and we are now in June....The April 2007 Business update gave you the clue..

In my opinion and just based on their business model and the tracking of their timeline, we have another great entry for maximum gain.
Do your DD,but I have again a position at .0003..
Have a good day

synergetek, "the incredible intrinsic developments about to be unleashed"?
"Is there something you know which may be of interest to the rest of us?"
No synergetek, I have no "insider knowledge".
But to answer your question about why I'm confident in my expectations it begins with confirming what's been PR'd so far.
I started with the 211 as for me that was something I considered to contain a lot of potential on the momo factor front.
I found the original PR where Spartan agreed to sponsor and file iFinix’s SEC Form 15c211 listing application with NASD in November 2005.
Then I confirmed that in November 2006 iFinix filed the required form 211 “disclosure statement” with their sponsor Spartan.
The PR from December 2006 where iFinix retained CFO Professional Services, LLC to help prepare the required financial statements was a biggie & a bit of due & a couple of phone calls later I was satisfied that CFO had the credentials and was assisting as per the PR.
So for me I was satisfied that once these required audited financials are complete, iFinix would then seek listing on the OTCBB by having their sponsor Spartan file the complete 15c211 application with NASD.
From there it will snow-ball into the Phoenix suite of products & the promotional campaign.
I learned as much as I could about how long they've been developing this software & who's been associated with it since inception.
I even phoned India to speak to a programmer.
To make a long story short at the end of my dd process I was completely satisfied that not only was the product itself real but they are in fact close to launching as they'd PR'd.
It's impossible to explain all of my dd methodologies as a lot of it is based on personal instincts for the validity of things I was uncovering for myself.
In the end dd comes down to a personal comfort level for certain elements passing ones own personal criteria.
So with that said I made the decision to keep accumulating & fully expect the product & promotional campaign to be delivered.
How well the product is received will be key as to how well INXR performs of course so the risk/reward factors have to weighed out according to ones own experiences/instincts/perspectives.
There's never a 100% guarantee but our own previous experiences & current methodologies for separating BS from fact gives us varying degrees of confidence.
So hopefully you get the gist of why I'm here.
In the end it all comes down to execution & if INXR executes like I believe they can & will then the next round of material developments that come down the pike will back up & confirm what my dd & instincts lead me to believe here.
Gauging coming momo is the risk/reward factor I am considering & I made my choices based on the extent of my due.
So for sure everyone must decide for themselves what personal criteria they need met before making their decisions.
All the Best,
CS
texasholdem, The only filing I'm waiting on is Spartan's initial 15c211 application to the NASD.
All of us have our own opinions on what criteria we need to be comfortable placing our bets...for me the financials/audit/15c211 process is moving along at the exact perfect pace.
By the time Spartan does file the initial 211...the share price will be wayyyyyyy above these current levels based on the incredible intrinsic developments about to be unleashed.
Here's the link to the 211 disclosure statement:

tex: They were discussing deleted posts on another board not iFinix's transfer agent. Regardless...you won't find any arguments from the core longs regarding pending complete transparency...for now...we have to believe iFinix when they say complete transparency is coming(which will include ungagging transferonline).
There's no reason for them to lie to us...they're fully confident in their biz model & are well aware of what aligning 100% with their growing core holder base means.
And FWIW...I have no reason to doubt the capital structure numbers whatsoever as I read the entire 211 disclosure statement submitted to Spartan last fall.
The otcstockinfo website has since changed to a pay only site now though so I think retailers would have to buy a membership to view it now.
Regardless...the 211 disclosure statement supported the capital structure numbers discussed on this board with 100% accuracy & now that the 211 process is in gear...there can be no alterations prior to application as I understand it...which is why the O/S count remains static pending completion of the financials ok.

Alright, Longs, Listen up!!
CoMedia Corporation, Symbol: CMTN
- Tradable float = 600,000
- Whole Float = 1.25 million (600k held by former SPNI insiders)
- Restricted Shares = 19.7 million (held by former DEP insiders)
- New O/S = 20.9 million
- Market Cap estimated at $300 million
CoMedia Corporation MANAGEMENT:

Add: Barry Switzer, Steve White, Curtis Watts, we are dealing with some very wealthy, very business savvy people. These people have to go big in order to get ROI's, but they all seem to be flocking to this sure thing (personnel - wise). Do you notice anybody jumping ship in the management? Nah, this is a slam dunk for them!
All we represent is the PPS - which in their scheme of things doesn't mean a hill of beans right now. They paid a dollar. They got a deal.
In the next 2 years (restricted time), we (acting as the tradeable float) will become a number to these guys that they want to be SIGNICANTLY HIGHER. Once they push it to these levels (13 days prior to Reg Sho Threshold Manipulation), any member of this company can probably buy the float here. You think they won't do that? Those of us here when penny got here have seen this thing trade like the float is gone and ridden some sharp uptrends. When she blows this next time (Should be soon, a la CFUL), I imagine she'll blow good!!!
All that is going on now is we are making a chart - hurts here. Forex, Penny, angelswiss, others - I will see you on the other side of this ride, but they are not stealing MY shares from me either.
IMO&GLTA
Warren Buffet said,
I put a heavy weight on certainty.
If you do that, the whole idea of a risk factor doesn't make any sense to me.
You don't invest where you take a significant risk.
But it's not risky to buy securities at a fraction of what they really worth!
Who are these financial terrorists?
They are the bashers and how do you know they are bashers?
When you see a basher bashing the stock 24\7 thats the basher...
Why the hell someone would spend like 12 hours a day 7 days a week bashing a stock?
RingDaBell, A Question for You
Do you think there are Bashers on these message boards, posters who intentionally bash a stock either to get in at a lower price or are paid by others(MM's/Shorts)to Bash?
Because if you don't, then you are WAY off in your analysis.
It's not difficult to spot the Bashers. They claim to have no position or a small position(usually just a lie)but spend a large amount of time posting criticisms of the company, its management, or its shareholders.
Now why would they do that if they are not shareholders with no intention of becoming one?
Apparently, either you haven't been around message boards very long or you haven't picked up on these basic facts.
It seems a shame to me that whenever shareholders who are optimistic about the company they're invested in and express that on a message board, they're called pumpers(of course usually started by Bashers), & have acknowledged CMTN's imperfections in the past(what company does everything perfectly?) but believe in the future success of the company in spite of it.
When criticisms of the company become less than objective and when it's obvious that Bashing is at work imho.
Good luck to all CMTN shareholders...
DO NOT Capitulate to Financial Terrorists
Remember, these criminals want your shares.
Do not be a sucker.
Hang tight. Be strong.
Reap the rewards.
But do not facilitate their agenda.
JJtruthmatter's BS is IRRELEVANT imo.

Now you're trying to convince people this will be selling for 0.35-0.40? You must be out of your mind.

** CMTN - well...we have proof of MM manipulation..
1. Not showing bids.
2. downticking buys at ask to make them look like sells.
Someone may have decided to try to load up cheap..and use investor fear...especially in the early post R/S period.
Fear and greed drives these...and now we are in the "fear" period.
The pullback..as substantial as it seems...is on very low volume...and thus of little concern for those who dont mind waiting it out..

Post #of 30272
"In the end, we will rise or fall based on the quality of the company's execution of their business plan. I do believe a personally vested shareholder base can often be a critical factor in a start-up company's success, yet I will not encourage irrational exuberance and outlandish expectations. I will advocate that shareholders do take an active interest in their company and even perhaps help their investment by concretely helping the company with constructive feedback. I've suggested the company solicit the trading community's input and I hope they act on this.
The reason I believe that may be applicable in this case in particular is the situation of INXR may be relatively unique for a stock at these levels. Essentially, this is a company whose investors may actually become the very same users of their products. If the company does the following 3 things:
1. Show the microcap investment community they are a real and legit enterprise (as all on this board know this is absolutely critical and could be equated to getting to first base)
2. Show all of us they are going to be aligned with shareholder interests (which ultimately requires a steady approach to share structure management, compensation and shareholder communications)
3. AND MOST IMPORTANT (of course), the products work and they can bring them to market, support them and prove they are going to be around and grow their business.
And those 3 factors I have discussed extensively with the company now for the following very simple reason:
If you think they are legit then you may become their customer. Who is going to commit to learning and paying for a platform if you think the company is a fly by night scam? You wouldn't. So square one for me was - are you legit? Then I proceeded to, OK, now waddya got?
Therefore, the business success of the company is uniquely married to the success of their stock because if we think they are legit and then use their product it is a natural synergy. I want that legitimacy to be real and not one of manufactured perception. Any advice I have offered to the company is along those lines, i.e. do the right thing (NOT fake the right thing), both as a business and as a stock with shareholders whose rights must be considered.
If you get a blend of all three factors, then you get a strong shareholder base willing to lock down their positions and hold for better valuations and share prices.
Please note that prior to saying I would see the company because I had to go to NYC anyway, I had mostly concentrated my posts on basically educating many on what to look for in the trading of a stock such as this so you could understand the price action and build your positions accordingly if you wanted to and hopefully do so without overpaying. I did not hide that I believe in the importance of the simple fact of supply and demand with any stock being tightly held by shareholders whether it is $100 a share or a tenth of a cent.
The markets reward strong hands who hold the correct stock. Simple logic shows, often in retrospect, that a tight float sometimes results in a higher valuation if demand then continues to exceed supply. But we should not know what we each hold and keep it that way. It leaves you a little more in the dark about calculating supply and demand, but it also avoids accusations and problems down the line. The belief is valid, but rigging the numbers is not what I want this board to be about, so lets keep it clean everybody.
You can legitimately look at whatever numbers can be calculated by whatever insider positions are disclosed and assuming the float to be a certain number, looking at the money flow and volume over a period of time on the charts and making an educated guess.
Sure, at this point you could validly guess the float is tight and it is OK to say so. That is not a conclusion that could or should be censored. We just want to avoid some mistakes seen in other situations like share counting tallies on a public board. I disclosed I was told the two principals of INXR said to me they have 250M shares each which leaves us all on roughly equal footing in terms of current knowledge of the float.
Doing due diligence by visiting a company or meeting with its principals is often deeply instructive. I am not a day trader, but either invest or swing trade. I sometimes offer free, unpaid for advice to companies whom I believe can overcome mistakes and bring out a greater value that is hidden by a depressed share price. That advice would be along the lines of observing and strengthening shareholder rights, proper targeting of market niches and generally trying to convince management that aligning themselves with us often results in good fortune for their company and their stock.
We are all making a bet that our positions here are going to appreciate as the value of the company is unlocked by successive developments and accomplishments by management. I would not presently buy this stock at a dollar of course, so it is relative to the share price. One must find situations at lower values that can then rise to new levels. This seeking out of distressed stocks hiding small, but promising companies is a classic investment technique and it can be very rewarding. If I am right and can offer some small tips that point them more squarely on the path to success, I feel rewarded personally besides doing better financially.
We are here to make money and I'd like to see it done respectfully and avoid some of the behavioral excesses found on some other boards of stocks that run hard as I think INXR may be capable of doing. Let's be professional, try to make useful contributions and we will see together if INXR will be a rewarding investment or trade however you choose to phrase your participation in this stock. All the best
