Do you know how it it is for me Lurker??
2 Weeks?? I may not be around in two weeks. SS on the shelves.
Do you know how to say- early "Summer Sabbatical??"
:)
"Supposed to be"?? "IF"??
Basser, Heppie is just getting "Hepped Up" for the big series!!:)
I'm surprised more "trekkies" have not hammered away at EI Corporate on this latest Shareholder Update:)
As a "simple" Open Believer, I have to question(yes question) "why" the 10K is not Finalized today??:)
Audit Team left last Saturday April 18th. April 15th Shareholder Update had the Audit Team "busy, busy!!" Today is April 24th:)
Finra's "ONLY" remaining comment is that the 10K be filed!:)
"Delay" due in part to the distribution of time and resources for PM:)
Todays Shareholder update- "Furthermore- PM "approved", etc. etc...:)
"The 10K "should be" Finalized next week:)(April 15th update)
We're not talking Millions of dollars worth of figures here, we're just getting started with sales:)
IMHO, I'd plan for a few "all nighters" over the week-end if they really are serious about the up-listing. Monday would be OK with me. I'll even let them take a few breaks during the week end to watch the Sox BURY the Bronx Bombers at Fenway.
Start building the next "wall" in the Big Apple Basser:) LFM wants Kaboomage. This will do the trick:)
:)
And maybe we'll even have 4 more trades today than yesterday "down":))
Yep, you're absolutely right, the interest is "flowing', if you catch my drift:)
I think you've got something here 'downriver!! It Is the Uplisting thing again, and maybe even because of that Free Publicity:)
Avoidably no, 'five':)
No "pass" for EI this week, but if the 10K is not completed, please don't waste your time with any undue energy:) Please look up the word "should" in Webster's:)
Hopefully the "audit team" can get the filing done:)
Why did it take you so long 'fivestar'??:) No need for "elaboration" here. You're in the trekkie camp 'five'. The bantering about in reference to the share structure, market cap, O/S, A/S,. R/S, etc.. etc... can go on all day long, but unless Ei corporate gets the "message" about what they need to do, we will wait:)
I'm just an ordinary old mailman living the Dream every day 'five':) A faithful and patient man with multiple millions of shares invested in ETNL:) So where are my thoughts now with my investment in ETNL.
My attitude has Never changed with the concept that EI is attempting to crack in this personalization and Licensing of funerary products. I think the timing is right 'five', and enough so to invest my father's hard earned inheritance $$ into something that he made his money in, and I continued to cash in on the funerary business:)
As of today, I have averaged down to a very comfortable figure with my shares of ETNL.
In my "dreaming" state of mind 'five', I feel that EI is about to enter into a new saga in their infancy.
The products and sales are starting out slow, but are in no way going to go away. It is too late for that.
The Uplist will happen. The 10K will happen. And I agree wholeheartedly with you that EI is in desperate need for growth capital. I feel EI Corporate along with their deliberations with the uplist and 10K, are working very hard with Swetel and others to get the capital necessary to make these products really take off.
Time is a big asset for EI. I am all for kissing this "quiet time" crap bye bye, and cruising on in to my March 6, 2012 date.
I compliment you on your pick up of the $1.00 per share. I have Never "predicted" any pps in my travels:)
Yours Always in Eternal Faith,
Heppie:)
Glad to see the "Trekkies" are full speed ahead and in trekkin mode with Clint, EI, ETNL, and the share structure.
The best .01 stock I've ever owned?? No, it should be at a dollar now:)
I hear people down playing the "Hope", the "Faith", and the "Patience" lingo that you've heard me mention in passing about Eternal Image. What are Dreams made of?? Without these words and the Faithfuls of EI, you would not have an ETNL. Think about it.
Yours Always in Eternal Faith,
Heppie:)
Good Evening EI/ETNL Open Believers and Trekkies,
Don't want LFM and other Faithfuls on this board to think that we have jumped ship, the "silent faithfuls" that is:)) If we had, you would have known it a "long" time ago:)
Don't want to get the "eternal pessimists" too upset, so I have given them a much needed sabbatical from my eternal optimist comments:)
My story hasn't changed. March 6, 2012 is "still" on my calendar! Look forward to seeing all of you at the Boston Bash this October. New Orleans in 2010??(I think), Hawaii in 2011, but because of the logistics and transportation, Nick mentioned that the convention may be changed to San-Diego, or a West Coast venue more user friendly. I've never been to Hawaii, but oh well, plans sometimes change, don't they??:)
Haven't missed a single post on this board in a couple of years. I still think this is the best $90. bucks of entertainment that I will ever be invested in. Except for maybe a fly on the wall in Farmington Hills, you can't get much better information about EI the company and ETNL the stock. The Mod is definitely "super", and the asst's. are second to none. It is a pleasure to be a part of this Final Frontier. It is also obvious that the true fanatics and the passionate are right here on this board:)
Yours Always in EI/ETNL Faith,
Heppie:)
It's a gorgeous day in sunny New Hampshire. And how do I know that??
SS is on the shelves!!:)
:)
Sorry NH, your US treasury check has already been deposited in "my" personal account. One of the Perks of the job:)
ETNL's dividend check scheduled for March 6, 2012:) Keep laughing and we'll all chip in for a Red Sox MLB Casket for you. Very comfy!!:)
Pardon me for not crossing all of my T's and dotting all of my I's. I'm sure it will take at least 30 days for this post to be approved by the powers that be on this board anyway:)
Still can't believe that I get all of this free entertainment for under $90. bucks for the year:)
My comments of course are IMHO, if that's OK:)
PM or 10K?? As a Faithful Believer in Eternal Image, I will defer to the powers that be at EI headquarters and take the "Precious" route:)
IMHO(again:), Please- the SEC/FINRA, FINRA/SEC?? I "missed" my April 15th deadline AGAIN yesterday for my taxes. Filed an extension. Last year it cost me $19.31 in interest charges. I didn't know how I was going to live for the next year, but I did just get by:)
It would be a shame if this stock and company go under before my March 6, 2012 "deadline":) What would I do?? Read a book I guess:)
Sorry NH, been way too long already. One thing you can quote me on- "The mail "will" go through today:)
Yours Always in Eternal Faith,
Heppie:)
Let's see a show of hands. How many people on this board have ever "touched" an Eternal Image product?? Or better still, how many people have ever gone to an NFDA convention?? Or better still, how many people have ever talked extensively with the competition of Eternal Image or the funeral directors in general about EI's chances of accomplishing their goal of that Final Frontier??
Is this real DD, or did I just waste a week in Orlando watching the smoke permeate out of those Red Sox caskets and urns??
Whether I think that all of the banter on the board as of late is counterproductive or not about Eternal Image is of no real consequence to the players. The games will continue:)
Let's just all be honest with each other. Most of our crystal balls concerning ETNL and making our millions on this tiny little start-up company have not quite turned out as we had planned:) And please, don't chastise me for saying that I have not lost one single cent on my investment in EI, because this is a fact Jack:) As far as I know I haven't lost a single cent on my 401K yet either, until I decide to "sell/cash in" some of those shares. Haven't I been very diligent in my feelings about my Faith and Patience in EI and the stock ETNL??:)
Please placate me as you will, But until I throw ETNL into the Worthless Securities bin, please give me the courtesy of accepting these facts as gospel when it comes to Heppie's investment in ETNL!! When ETNL goes belly up, bash me, smash me, mash me, until the sun goes down, but I know you probably won't, because you'll be on to bigger and better boards:)
As I have stated before, every day that goes by, EI's chances of making it in the funerary business just get better and better:)
I chuckle at the verbiage about the Star Trek License. EI has been formulating a "well rounded" group of products, and for the fanatical/passionate, the trekkie nation seems to be a perfect fit. It's the "variety" of Licenses that EI has acquired that I am most impressed with. A little bit here, a little bit there, and I think we can make a go of it with what we have as of now.
As a "new" ETNL looker on this board, the IBox is the best that I have ever seen. I marvel at the DD that people do as Mod's, and Asst. Mod's on this board. If it's out there about EI, it will be mentioned on this board.
This company called EI and the stock ETNL is not a dog and pony show here folks. It is the nature of the "animal", and we are talking about the funerary business. There are a lot of Dinosaurs in this business. EI strives to make those Dinosaurs understand that it is time for change and that people are looking for more choices with their funeral needs.
Yes, the funerary business "is" Recession Proof, but only in the fact that people will never stop dying:) People of course may cut back on the amount of money that they spend on an urn or casket, but with the variety that EI is introducing in the market, they should have plenty of product to be successful.
One thing that I may disagree(have to be well-rounded here) with some of the Faithfuls of EI is that Revenues will not be the "be all and end all" for ETNL's pps to climb. I feel it "is" now:)
What do we really need now?? Uplist and major CAPITAL to launch this puppy into that Final Frontier. Don't think that EI is not courting some major players with alliances to put EI's products out there so the general public can see them up close and personal. I don't think you can "believe" them, until you have seen them and touched them:)
All for now. Waiting for the rain to stop so I can do the "clean up" from the Ice Storm at the lake:)
Until next time- IMHO- "Without Easter, Life is Meaningless":)
Yours Always in Eternal Faith,
Heppie:)
EI doesn't exist??
EI doesn't have knowledge about the funerary industry??
EI's products are not beautiful??
EI is not "justified" in the funerary industry??
EI is not a valid company??
EI doesn't have a "mind" of its own??
EI doesn't speak its own language??
Whether or not you like the way things are going 'dffhogs"...
EI definitely qualifies!!:)
I'm impressed. And now we have "philosopher's" on the Board:)
Have you "seen" them?? Have you "touched" them??? Have you felt the "fabric" inside of them???? Have you asked other people about how good the material and hardware is compared to others?????
600 to 1600 to 2000Sq. ft.!!?? You have to "spend" money to make money??
These are my issues with Eternal Image short term. The long term issues will take care of themselves, something that a lot of people cannot understand:)
What?? The share structure can't be straightened out in time?? What??? If EI Corporate take some creative measures with their shares, the pps couldn't be a lot better?? What???? A friendly VC GROUP comes in after the uplist, aligns themselves with EI, and the pps won't get any better?????
Go back to my initial paragraph:) I'm sorry to say people that EI is here to stay, and that "the peeps" in the Industry have acknowledged that over and over again. Adjustments from the company and the products?? I would hope so!!:)
The biggest problem that we have NOW, is the fact that we all want to hit the lottery NOW with ETNL, and it just is not going to happen that way. Sure, I'd like to speed it up a little also, But until then, I'm sorry. I am truly sorry. The story remains the same-
"Faith and Patience, Patience and Faith"
Yours Always in Eternal Faith,
Heppie:)
"See you in Boston"
Nice try "fivestar". Tough for me to lie about my own verbiage:)
After March 6, 2012, I may need a speech writer. I'll put you on the short list:)
Mid,
Please don't "miss quote" me:)
I have NEVER said that the pps will be going up significantly after uplist:)
Will I be disappointed?? No:)
Depending on your definition of a "big event" mid, No:) I probably won't be disappointed.
Mid, I am a long-term investor in ETNL. I believe that Eternal Image will make it in the funerary business and be around for a "long" time to come. It is obvious that some people on this board cannot understand this:)
What would "disappoint" me would be if I had to put my investment in ETNL into the "worthless securities" category before March 6, 2012:)
:)
Sounds reasonable to me:)
Fivestar,
It is obvious that you a missed something in my "translation".
Plain and simple, I have bought my shares. "Set it and forget it with my investment in ETNL:)
On March 6, 2012, we can talk about this post:)
Just sorry you put so much verbeage into your post, that has absolutely nothing to do with my scenario in ETNL.
:)
Good Afternoon EI/ETNL Open Believers and Trekkies,
It's always about the $$ isn't it?? There is no question that it is with the company called Eternal Image and the stock ETNL:)
I know the "quiet time"(once again) is just killing everybody on this Board, even to the point of losing some of the Faithfuls I'm sure. Am I going soft in my old age with comments such as this?? No, I'm just the same old Heppie the mailman, your average "Joe the Plummer" type of guy that is still living the dream of Life every day. Looking at the world and economy today, I don't think I have it too bad:) I can say that a little easier today with the snow almost gone, and on the top of my list to go over to the Lake with the chain saw and clean up the debris a bit:) No $$ in the world could ever take the place of the "shack" and the atmosphere that goes along with the luxury of an 8.1 mile continuous "stay-cation" at the Lake.
Back to ETNL:) Get the uplist done and the "deep pockets" come out of the wood work?? With the history of EI I would not think so. We all want this stock called ETNL to catapult to .05,.10, .15, etc.. etc.. NOW!! It's just not going to happen with the share structure the way it is, and the lack of "serious cash" that is needed to put EI really on the map!!
I'm fine with my March 6, 2012 date, but I know that most of you that frequent this board are not:) So how do we get EI moving a "bit" more quickly??
You talk about Brainstorming, well now would be a most opportune time:) It IS all about the $$, and EI will need a lot of it if they are truly going to crack that Final Frontier barrier.
The company called EI has done reasonably well, but they have failed miserably with the stock called ETNL, and the trekkie nation in general.
The good news folks, and there is a lot of it:) EI is still alive and kickin. After the uplist and the "quiet time" is over, it is time to go to the VC's, the LLC's, the bank's, etc. etc, and get the necessary capital to have at least one EI Casket and Urn in every imaginable Funeral Home in the country. This is how you will see ETNL and it's pps take off. The funerary business has accepted EI, and in a very big way. Their job now is to make these funerary widget's "happen", and it is of course all about REVENUES, and more REVENUES!! The pinky games are over, and the people that got in at the ground floor with the triple 000's, "and flipped", may have done OK:), but for the rest of us, it is time for EI to take advantage of all that Free Publicity, and exposure, and SELL the crap out of these fantastic products that I saw in Orlando, get us back our initial investments, and start planning for the future. The timing could not be better!!
And if you don't think that Clint, Donna, and Nick read these posts from time to time?? Think again. They are listening:) Some say that EI Corporate is satisfied with the stock ETNL in the "pennies", taking their salaries, share bonuses, etc, etc.. for the foreseeable future?? If this is the case, I would find it very difficult to sleep at night if I were living in Farmington Hills Michigan!!:) A lot of people have invested a lot of their hard earned money in ETNL. A lot of Faithful and good people. I have only seen genuine sincerity and professionalism from Donna and Nick and their dealings at the convention in Orlando. I'm sure the average IHubber investment pales in comparison to what EI Corporate has invested in ETNL. They want the stock ETNL to succeed just as much as we do.
I'll always be around to talk; And I "still" haven't lost one cent on my Investment in ETNL:) Things could be a lot worse.
Thank you for your indulgence:)
Yours Always in Eternal Faith,
Heppie:)
p.s. Hope to see you in Boston In October.
p.s.s. Nick?? I'm "still" waiting for the call:)
Ditto:)
Please quote me on this too Basser,
Lurker and I have ordered you one EI YANKEES Casket, as a courtesy of course:)
Please quote me on this-
"OPENING DAY" is right around the corner!!:)"
Yours Always in Eternal Faith,
Heppie:)
Gentlemen:)
See you on March 6, 2012!!
Diversification is the key to success isn't it my friend Basser??:) Even in message board posts?? It's a free country, first amendment, and all that good stuff!!:)
Every day that I "x" off of the calendar is one more day closer to my March 6, 2012 date!!
As I have said before, the Memorial Business was a lot about "shopping around" for the product. Time had elapsed and a lot of the grief had passed.
EI's products and the funeral end of it?? People will not stop dying. People "could" stop buying Memorials:) They're not a necessity:)
MLB is the Golden Egg that has been laid for EI, But at $4,499. a pop, it may be too pricey in this economy. But, MLB has gotten all of our FREE PUBLICITY and will continue to do so:)
So how will EI ever survive?? Oh, I don't know. It just possibly might be the likes of-
VLC, CLC, Precious Moments, Star Trek, AKC, and the Cat Fanciers to name a few:) You talk about choices!!:)
Basser, EI has plenty of Licensed Brand Products to last us for a very long time:)
The world Basser is ready for the Final Frontier and Eternal Image has hit that "timing button" just right!!
EI has laid the foundation and will have an "occupancy permit" before my March 6, 2012 date. The "finished work" inside will continue to be updated:)
Yours Always in Eternal Faith,
Heppie:)
NOW THAT'S A COOL WEBSITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)
Living the Dream every day 'uvgirl"!!:)
That basser, and getting my 2008 Tax info. together:)
"I don't know. Maybe you do!!?":)
Thanks for the micro-analyzation Mid!!:)
It's obvious Mid, something you will never have-
Yours Always in Eternal Faith,
Heppie:)
I keep seeing the 10% Compounded Annually in a lot of reports, but as an Open Believer, I defer to the trekkie nation:)
Thanks for the GENEROSITY "NH"!!:)
OT, but figure it is pertinent to you post. For the 80,000+ Rural Carriers working for the USPS and delivering a lot of IHubber's mail out there, "we" are in the midst of a National Rural Mail Count:( It just started yesterday(Happy Valentine's Day) and runs through Saturday March 14th. On average, the USPS predicts that Rural Carriers will lose between $6-$10,000. per route per year:( The mail NH has dropped a cliff in my town where we have small mileage routes with high density's of mail boxes.
My March 6, 2012 date is "still' in tact, but I just may have to stick around to see that 401K account have a little more time to rebound:) Things are not good at the USPS right now, just like a lot of other places:) I am in a lot better position of course with 31+ years under my belt.
If EI is still around on March 6, 2012, and ETNL is still trading somewhere?? You can't tell me that I won't be a very rich man:)
Yours Always in Eternal Faith, and thanks for the day off NH,
Heppie:)
Mid, I really would like to get your feelings on the long term possibilities of EI being able to penetrate this market of the final frontier:)
Yes, this is a message Board and we tend more often than not to micro analyze to death everything that goes on in Farmington Hills and beyond:)
Any "positive" things that we might have to look forward to in the next few years if EI is "still" around?
It seems like EI has not performed much differently than a lot of other Pinks out there from their inception. The one big difference IMHO is that they are selling real products and people are paying real money for them:) They look like they are trying to up-list to a better exchange and be more transparent in the process. Is this not enough, or do they have to do much more at this point??
Always interested in your take, but as an Open Believer, I look for that info as well from you and others when info. may not be so forth coming as you would like:)
Yours Always in Eternal Faith,
Heppie:)
More fodder to fuel the fire Basser and surferbj??
As an Eternal Optimist and a Faithful of EI, how does one get money when they need it for a start-up company like Eternal Image??
Not knowing all of the details, I have heard that Clint, Donna, and Nick have pretty much put everything they had into this company called EI:) Mortgages, Refinances, broke open all of the piggy banks and sold all of the "farms" to attempt to penetrate this Final Frontier concept.
Whatever you want to call them, Entrepreneur's, Visionaries, etc.. etc.., the company is still around:)
38%, 10%, 1000% interest on borrowed cash?? Me thinks the "big three" still have their arms and legs in tact:)
As Nick and Donna have mentioned, they frequent this Board for some quality "guilty pleasure time" and to catch up on some of the other words on the street:)
And you think we're the ones taking the risks?? Yes I know some here in ETNL land still think they are conspiring around the Farmington Hills water cooler how to screw the hell out of us faithful Investors:) Short-term maybe, if you're in it for the "flip" of it, but for me and the long-termers, I thank the big guy upstairs that EI is sill alive and kickin:) Why??, Because I have witnessed for myself the progress that EI has made from the NFDA in Las Vegas in 2007 to the NFDA in Orlando in 2008 and this was truly incredible. Plans seem to be progressing nicely for the NFDA Bash in Boston:) I know I'll save a pretty penny on my $2,000. a month car allowance in October of 2009:)
Ya, isn't borrowing from ones self just the pits!!:) They just might "need" the cash for those operating expenses to keep Eternal Image growing:)
March 6, 2012?? How am I doing??
Yours Always in Eternal Faith,
Heppie:)
GUGD,
Your guess is as good as mine:)
IMHO, for any investor in ETNL, and with all of the "pending" issues that will be coming out in 2009, I just may hold onto my shares for a little while longer:)
When Nick and I were talking at the NFDA in Orlando he thought that the Precious Moments Caskets would probably be "down the road". It's obvious that FH's and FD's may have been thinking differently:)
Have you "ever" gone to a funeral of a Youth and seen a "themed" casket such as the ones that EI looks to manufacture?? I have not. This license with Precious Moments is truly visionary in this market. The potential for this line of caskets and urns will be unprecedented in the funerary market.
Have you gone on the Precious Moments website?? I can see an EI Casket in that Chapel in Missouri!!:)
:)
A little testy here LC!!
No LC, I don't think EI has taken anyone here hostage!!
I am a Long ETNL investor and continue to accumulate the amount of shares I have:)
I'm not down anything LC. March 6, 2012 give me a call and then ask me "how much" I am down:) Haven't lost a cent on my investment in ETNL :)
Isn't that what a "Long" investor does with a Long Term Investment?? Hold on to shares that they have invested in?? Selling my shares wouldn't be very prudent for a responsible investor in ETNL would it LC??
EI's still a start-up company that is laying its foundation in the funerary business.
Don't ever placate my March 6, 2012 date either LC, because this is "my" moment of truth for ETNL and my investment. You won't hear from me again LC if EI hasn't cracked that Final Frontier by then:)
It's obvious LC you are a "short-timer" with this company called EI and the stock ETNL:)
What's next LC?? It's a free country LC. Stick around and you'll find out:)
EI monopolizes the products they are about to sell big time:)
Yours Always in Eternal Faith,
Heppie:)
So you want to "hold" the company Hostage LC??:) Great idea!! "NOT!!!!!"
I'll take an "explanation" too LC about the reason for the $54,000., but with such a small amount, I think we're all still on the same page about the-
PR's with some "serious" MEAT to them!! Ones that may just raise the pps a bit:)
REVENUE'S/#'S, #'s/REVENUE'S. The story has not changed:)
I for one am a little more "realistic" about the delusion of many about the NFL and taking EI to the Final Frontier and the Promised Land in one full swoop:))
Youth Caskets/Precious Moments?? Star Trek Caskets and Urns?? Vatican Library Collection Caskets?? CLC Caskets?? Cat Fanciers Urns that we have been waiting on for FOREVER??
Eternal Image LC has plenty of homework assignments to keep them busy for quite awhile!!
As I have said before LC, from this 4th quarter 2008 and from each quarter from here on in, the REVENUE'S will increase exponentially:) I'll take that Final Frontier one quarter at a time:)
Yours Always in Eternal Faith,
Heppie:)
Isn't that why we're here 'mid'?? "Fuel for board talk":)
Seems like EI has a lot of friends who have a serious investment in their company:)
