Jayyy, you were wrong on #1 questioning the red flag when it has been removed for some time now.

As for #2 concerning the exchange, any stock trade is between 2 people. There is a bid and an ask and when there is agreement between the 2 parties the transaction occurs. This is true on Nasdaq and NYSE and OTC and all the others. So, it is ALWAYS between 2 parties. In the old days on Wall Street trading of stock was done under a cherry tree - yes, and get this - between 2 parties! This was the market place (ie 'the exchange'). For the layman's example of buying an item in Wal-mart, it too is a deal between 2 people; the shopper and Wal-mart (count 'em - 2 entities).

So Jayyy, with all due respect to you, you are 0 for 2.

In reference to Post 2526, I spoke to Mike Irving today and the red flag is removed. You can verify it for yourself by going to www.otcmarkets.com and type in ROTH and you will not see any red flag or hold.

There has been some debate about whether the OTC is an exchange like the Nasdaq or the NYSE. The OTC is an exchange. The requirements are lower than the others, but its and exchange, a marketplace, if you will - a place where you can sell your goods. To put it into layman's terms to illustrate this, Wal-mart is a marketplace for lots of products and to sell in Wal-mart you have to meet the requirements of Wal-mart. They may not be too stringent and surely you can buy a lot of low-priced stuff made in China.

To sell your stuff in Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdale's, Saks Fifth Avenue or some other high end store you will have to show you product is worthy of being on their shelves (ie, on their exchange) and meet their rules.

So, to summarize:
1) their is no red flag or hold on ROTH
2) OTC is an exchange

Concerning the "red flag", it seems that this is in the hands of the OTC is it not? Was the financial report accepted by the OTC? I don't know the answer, but I'm going to call and ask.

I believe there is a huge potential for sales. I believe the management team is honest and rowing the boat is the same direction. In my periodic phone chats with Mike Irving he has always been honest to the best of my knowledge. If I have any complain its that things happen slower than he says, but they do happen. I think this is because he is an optimist. I certainly prefer this over a pessimist.

There you have it! If you like what you see in these posts, then BUY. If you don't then SELL. Not sure? - HOLD.

I remember voting my shares some time ago to thrown out the Vancouver scum bags, so the management team is 100,000% improved.

I recall the 20 mm shares being taken away from the scum bags and awarded to the present team.

Jayyy, good questions! You should call Mike Irving and ask him. It seems that you are very distrusting of Roth management. If I didn't trust the management team I would not own the stock and I would move on to other opportunities, but I have a good feeling about the present team, so I'll continue to hold my shares.

Investor T1010, I too am anxious to see sales figures. Mexico has some 100 million people and I believe the highest percentage of people with diabetes in the world, so that is a huge market. One concern, for me at least, has been the ability of the general population to afford the pills.

It does seem that the Mexican economy is picking up in general and a middle class is possibly forming who can better afford the Roth product. This portends well for Roth.

Everybody knows (or should know) that pink sheet stocks are a lot more risky than NASDAQ, DOW, S&P and other stocks listed on the big boards. Most pink sheet stocks might have a good idea, maybe a patent, but are in debt and have zero sales. Certainly any regular person investing would be foolish to put a large percentage of their portfolio in pink sheet stocks.

In order to prevent suicides or divorce, pink sheet stocks should maybe be limited to just a few percent of your portfolio. I recommend limiting to 5% to prevent divorce and 10% to prevent suicide. (I am just under 5% for the record).

My take on ROTH is as follows:

1) I feel that the product works. I have never seen or heard otherwise.
2) There are sales that seem to be increasing in Mexico. Note: I believe many years ago that Mexican government approval had to be obtained to sell and advertise - maybe someone can comment on this.
3) I believe that the present management team (Hall, Lopez) and Irving are honest people pulling in the same direction.
4) Product has a huge potential.

These are the reasons why I own ROTH.

ok, so the OTC is not the NASDAQ or the DOW, but if I understand it correctly, ROTH has filed a financial report with the OTC, and presumably it will be accepted.

Sure, its better to be on the NASDAQ or DOW, but its better than nothing. I don't think its fair to imply there is anything wrong with the OTC, just its a lower league, just as a degree from Harvard, MIT or Yale is worth more than one from a community college.

Sunspotter, I'm sure you are correct. I seem to remember reading that the lawyer looked at the report and other backup papers and nothing jumped out as being a red flag - I am not quoting, just my recollection. Again, I am not an auditor or financial person and didn't mean to say that the report was audited vs unaudited. I should not have said "signed-off"

I read the financial reports on otcmarkets.com last Friday. I am not an accountant, auditor, or financial person, but my recollection is that the lawyer/tax accountant signed off on the report. One poster complains first that there are no financials, but now complains that he doesn't like the report and tries to poke holes in it.

Also, my understanding is that it was no small effort to compile the financial report. The report was done in good time. To do the report earlier would have meant not to focus on finding short-tern funding and working on new orders. I think the proper choice was made.

Where can I see the financials? Do you have a link? I don't see it on Yahoo Finance.

Jayyy, I hear what you are saying, but still I think it is a matter of resources available (money and manpower). Remember we are talking about a stock trading under 1/2 cent, not Pfizer trading for $30.

My understanding is that orders have been placed and delivered and that there seems to be some temporary cash flow issues now apparently solved. My feelings from talking to Mike Irving is that good things are happening, but with limited cash and people to work on them it is taking some time. Financial reports, audits, etc take time and money.

Rome wasn't built in a day. My personal feeling is that the people involved now are all good honest people pulling in the same direction.

When will there be some news? Maybe the the financial filings are done or something about sales?
