hmmm..interesting..i was surprised and elated that i received an email, and oct 15 verification that (hopefully)At Least the fight will go on. are you insinuating that recent closing subpenny with several volume sales poses food for thought in possibly someone in the know? with the expectation of good news, i'd think prices would at least hold and/or head north. think of it this way..cgaq might have saved some pr fees by the email.
Ceo Swank's oct 1 fight email verbatim-"The date has been changed to oct 15th due to the storm and the fact that i'm down with pnumonia, i'm getting better, but i need a little more time. i will have a special fight package in the next couple days. watch for the news"....i post this email so all know exactly what i received, i know nothing else...i inquired about oct 1st guzman fight only...he responded 1hr 20 minutes later..
i emailed ceo at stevenswank@verizon.net ...caught me by surprise, he actually replied within an hour or two..(i hollered back asking if he could update track info, for my first email to him was concerning oct 1 fight details and possible "investor fight package"..).thanks SW for responding..
FIGHT NEWS!!! ..just received email from ceo swank stating fight changed to october 15th!!!! he mentions he's down with pneumonia and will put together an investors "fight package deal" for anyone interested..email just received!!
PB, i do appreciate your civil posts..in my case, one reason for some impatience is that these are (possibly)dirt cheap prices for cgaq right now..if we can "get the scoop" on track deal and and get the feel for good success probability,i'm ready to buy a million shares manana..i have reservations and have not added in couple months, but track deal would double price in 48 hrs imo, and climb from there..not a bad return. many longs have been here a while, averaged down and fully invested..others are hovering to seize potential opportunity. if i'm on the front end of this track news, money to be made..back end, stock price quickly escalates and i'm chasing..enjoy long weekend..
stevenswank@verizon.net ...found this, have not verified if actual email, but will give it a try...also, emailed roberto (r_cabrera_1999) for fight info august 30, no reply yet...also, aug 31 email to info@caribbeangamingcorp.com about fight detail remains unanswered..automated response from cgaq states, "Someone will contact you within 24 hours"---still waiting..this is my third email, none have ever been answered..emailing ceo swank now to see if i get reply...have also called twice recently ceo's fla number (answering machine) and DR casino (not presently available)..i did not leave my phone number for return call..
great stuff!!! thanks!! purchased the first 10k coming out of the gate this morning, looks like another 10k fri am!!
i'm a real dummie when it comes to phone..i know direct numbers no problem, but how to i get information number? 1-809-411 ..?? i'm going to dial operator right now and see what gives.. here goes..
hi dan5..speaking a new language to me!!what happens if it opens below? we had a lot of sell pressure today, and i'm concerned what the sentiment is if we close .008/.009 tomorrow? my feeling is we will return to 0.012 area..
yes, researched don elbaum the other night once i saw that he was matchmaker on a boxing website...old school, been around quite `some time, does not do a whole lot now, but certainly capable of making things happen...i consider him a positive for this situation...
i'm fixin' to get my arse in the air early next week and make a zillion DR phone calls and emails to any and all..accepting all names, numbers and emails that board members provide.. i'm researching now ...i've tried to locate oct 1st boxers websites so i could holler at them for any info, but no luck yet..that's minor though..the biggie is whether the track "is in play"..i don't expect officials to disclose that cgaq is "winner", i just want to verify that DR govt seriously considering selling/leasing..previous poster states that it is not, but something this important i choose to follow up on..i will update my "mission" as i proceed..cgaq investors deserve news..
any chance you have the directory information number for DR? same as usa? i did not realize it was so easy to call DR..i'm rather impulsive and easily frustrated when transferred from number to number...
i had a 50k .01 buy order in today...just missed it! trying to lend (a small) hand to chade should we need support at the penny price...dang, we've got a notable headline fight a month away and looming racetrack news at any moment..and we are approaching sub penny-OUCH!! Chartman-if we close subpenny in next couple days, what's in store for us in yho?
i thank you..at least we are getting a couple consistent responses..
several large sales today...any board members willing to fess up that they sold? peoples choice to buy or sell, just feel a tad more comfy if i knew it was sales from board members..
i sent an email yesterday to ms. jeanette salazar at ibf concerning ticket purchases and why guzman/robles fight not listed on ibf website schedule..her reply today from blackberry phone.."I am on vacation but as far as i know, it's a go.it won't appear on our schedule because it is not one of our title fights we have ratings for. believe fight is at racetrack but don't know about ticket prices"... it appears that i also spoke to the same gal at DR casino yesterday inquiring about fight tickets..she stated not presently available. i followed by asking when they would be available and she said , "MAYBE two weeks". she does speak somewhat broken english, so "maybe" could mean definetly...
hi dan, first, i know nothing about the software deal with govt, this seems to be on the hush..i had several emails with ggl vice prz of sales and he indicated to me that typical live betting installment in a third world country would take about a week...that concerned me for we had heard little from swank in regards to this, sending up red flags as to why we had not been updated..i think update finally came many months later when he did chartpopper interview in tampa...i also discussed (supposed)kiosk deal with cgaq/ggl...in was somewhat ambiguitous, leaving me with a feeling that i needed to read between the lines...i did not disclose that on board because i felt it would be an opinion that i could not base on stated facts...i will say, swank pr'd many months ago that cgaq had an existing $450k order, but many months later this has not been filled, nor has he indicated that it would be filled any time soon..you can draw your own conclusions...months later we have waited for track details, and some suggest passively waiting for a cgaq response..my imvestment warrants i now get aggressive with track answers..and i will at least TRY! good eve and glty..
respectfully, i'll continue on..all anyone can do is say no..should i not call swank for fear of annoying him, especially at such a busy time..who knows, i might just find something out..just like i did when i conversed with ggl labs about live betting and kiosks..my money, my time...glty
going to email DR folks with track questions now and cross fingers for replies..will continue phone calls daily until i speak to someone..might need to raid the penny jar for phone bill..lol...have a feeling a bunch more to make!
just called ministro de hacienda 1-809-687-5131...ongoing spanish recording for several minutes, finally hung up..not spanish fluent...i'm sure after working hours and i'll try again during daytime..
just got home..tried calling twice 1-808-687-2049 vice minister julio fernandez number..recording, first in spanish, then english, stating this is presently a non-working number...on to the next call...
hi dan39, i plan to call officials wed and will continue until i get some answers regarding track.. i will post names and numbers of responses..questions will be direct and leave little room for ambiguity.. questions are: 1) is DR govt. actively pursuing hippodrome track bids for either buying or leasing? if not, is govt accepting unsolicited bids for consideration? 2) if so, when are the start and closing dates for bid submittals and can you provide any info for bid specifications? 3) can you explain govt. procedure in how the sale/lease of hippodrome track will occur and timeline involved in decision making process?-ie,news media publication notifying public that govt. taking track bids. 4)are you aware that cgaq has expressed an interest in track and have they submitted a lease/buy proposal?... i welcome any additional questions or feedback.. question responses should indicate direction of track situation. i don't think i should have a lot of trouble getting answers except for cgaq interest..
well, i certainly appreciate your honesty..but if i feel convinced after DD that cgaq track deal is a bunch of fluff there is no way i'm buying any more shares in the near term ..no way!!! unless it goes super low sub penny.. now, i need to get my ducks in order for a few calls manana...any idea how much five minute phones call to DR from att mobile? made a couple but have not checked billing..glty
alli-fair enough. i'll write down a coouple questions and note responses from DR..i'm assuming you called number PsD provided... glty
PsD..will the big whig support comments made to you by the "Prez"? if so, i'll call him also..i'm researching track officials now, i'll find number on my own..finally, i do respect your DD initiatives, but i must ask what many are thinking-as well as myself! if you are convinced that your DD indicates the track is not available for sale or any long term lease, and short term lease is questionable, then frankly there is little hope for cgaq. that said, i think you mentioned you have purchased quite a few cgaq shares since your track findings..why purchase knowing that this will most likely go sub-penny and little hope? day flipping? ..i can understand that..something else? i believe you're a straight shooter so i thought i'd let one fly from the hip-lol! glty
hi alli, could you post the numbers and officials you talked with today..i'd like to call them Right Now if possible while the kettle is hot..thanks!
just returned home..thanks for response PsD..i speak un poco espaniol, so can assistants speak english as well as the Prez? my questions to them will be...is the DR govt. accepting lease and/or buy proposals for Hippo track?...if so, when was the beginning bid date and when is the final date for submittals? also, what is standard protocol for govt bids? - ie-govt places an open/closing bid submit date for track in news media. i will inquire if he is familiar with cgaq interest. finally, do you have any other phone numbers for contacts that may also have knowledge of track sale? a means of checks and balances to confirm Prez comments. (possibly a name and number for big whig with desk at the track?). glty
PsD.i'm sure you have previously done so, but could you summarize the conversation please..so if i call the number on that post you listed, i can get transferred to the racetrack president? if so, i'll call manana..also, any other numbers that i should call? ...but i'd guess the track prez would be in the know..when i call him, any questions i should ask that you might have missed? this has most likely been discussed, but did you ask him protocol as to govt procedure in the track bidding process? ..finally, do you have an opinion as to whether the DR govt. has placed the track for public leasing/buyout bid, or is it a situation where cgaq approached (unsolicited) govt track officials with a 30 page offer? thanks..i have done minimum track research so any DD guidance appreciated!
sass is also very involved with a social gaming company called RocketOwl....this endeavor may well require a great deal more of his time..and who knows, if it were ever to ipo would reap huge rewards..
i'm only forwarding info as i find it..just because a boxing site and cgaq phone rep says tickets not available...does not mean it is so..and though i can't locate any DR news ads about upcoming oct 1 fight, does not mean it is not being promoted..that's why i think cgaq public relations man roberto will soon visit.
just called cgaq in dr-1-809-571-4075...gal answered the phone, i mentioned the oct 1 guzman/robles fight...said i was from usa and would like to purchase tickets and how i would do so..she stated tickets not available yet..i asked when they would be available..she stated maybe two weeks more!!!! i'm not sure how informed she is, just relaying conversation as it happened...mostly out of frustration because i can't locate anywhere on the internet where anyone could buy tickets! folks, feel free to call cgaq and talk with them. roberto, are tickets available today or not?
roberto has a pattern of "popping" up in the past...i'm convinced he reads this board regularly...i still think he'll appear rather soon!! Roberto? if interested usa investors/fans want to obtain a planned discounted airfare and make reservations for the fight on oct 1st..can you please advise how to purchase tickets today...thanks...i'm calling cgaq casino now to see if they can advise...
thanks--emailing roberto now mentioning the email i received stating that fight venue not finalized at this point...must state that email did not include any "backup facts" to prove yes or no on fight venue...
email received from quantano gonzalez ..(one of the boxing websites/blogs i asked about fight info)..i asked about the guzman/robles DR fight info-if it was a "go" and ticket prices....RESPONSE---"yes the fight will be held in the dominican republic but no fight venue has been chosen at this time. reason for no tickets at this time... folks, i'm not sure how knowledgable this site is, could just have taken a cgaq pr and listed on their site..email response from gonzalez was short,did not bak up with any facts...Roberto, might be a good time to visit and say hello!
i think roberto will touch base soon with fight details and television contract info..i'll email him if i can locate his addy.
i have emailed cgaq/swank asking for ticket info..also emailed two boxing venues for any ticket info...2 days ago, no responses yet. have tried to locate participating boxers websites to email for fight info..no luck yet...best i've found is the letter mentions jg promotions (john grunsky?)..very little info...checking DR news for any info...nothing yet...continue search..glty
i think track left in tact, so that should be a go..."problem boy" guzman desperately needs this fight to try and reemerge in fight scene..(am concerned about guz meeting weight).plus, he's a local DR boy so i can't imagine him not signing readily for fight...with ceo in DR for extra days do to storm, i'd think he'd have extra time to focus on local fight..any obstacles, just head to the local gym for sign ups..a fight must go on oct 1 ..or ALL credibility gone!
i also appreciate all the posts ...sunbits does put himself out there at times with responses...i see tremendous smlu potential, but rather disappointed that (at least one) director(s) often "not on the same page " as MM..confidence shaken with lack of cohesion...still holding/buying..
can anyone post link as to how to obtain oct 1 fight ticket and price? i've visited cgaq website and cgaq facebook..can't find info..emailed cgaq for info, but last two have gone unanswered..hope "hands-of-stone" duran still plans to attend since sept fight date has been revised ...oh the days gone by when we were enlightened by roberto and sugar ray!!!! ...and don't forget hitman tommy hearns awaiting!! shoot, roberto strap up and old-school tiny tyson guzman- he'll surely show up a tad overweight and i won't hold age against you-lol! "duran" in "5"...
fff-i agree with many of your postings..and i also was skeptical earlier about boxing match...but i do anticipate cgaq will present a fight at track, in some fashion. maybe not all the fighters will show as promo'd, but can't believe there will not be a fight..if no fight on oct 1, then cgaq has NO shareholder confidence...none, nada!!! there will be a fight, even if they visit the local gym and bribe them to the ropes..a fight MUST go on!!, regardless if anticipated (Swank)$250-450k revenues are achieved. i can't fathom the chaos if no fight!
