devils advocate? ..i thought i'd check out some of the ecig review forums to get a feel for the products..i'm non smoker, attempting to get quickly versed in subject matter...boy, was i in for a rude awakening on the review sites..that gang just chewed sfio up and spit them out.i must add most all, if not all, reviewers have yet to try Real product..i did the best i could by adding my 2-cents, determined to regroup and return better prepared ..as arnie says, "I'll Be Back"! ..lol..if we ever win over that gang, sky's the limit.
hi sony, have done quite a bit of dd on cgaq last few days so i can make invest decisions. nice informative post earlier with articles by another member, which i also read in dd process..you mentioned casciati has not shown up in any recent cgaq reports/filings, but i find that he has..you most likely already know my info, but i'll post simply because it leads to another question i am accumulating for mr swank call..cgaq annual disclosure statement ending 12/31/10 (22 pages)..certified by steven swank signature dated april 20,2011..requires all stock owners with over 5% holdings must be disclosed...(common shares)..steven swank -15,454,354...armando casciati -15,140,854 ....h.s.liddel -9,040,000...i reference this because mr swank is getting fairly old, could become ill or worse, and wondering what the leadership succession is for cgaq mgmt. with armando casciatti having almost identical share ownership, do we assume he now takes over company leadership role? if that's the case, the tarlow news media issue may not be put to rest until final court decision..still holding cgaq with hopes of 1mil accumulation.
and i'll still be buying at .12!!! just reviewed sfio website, very nice!! lot of info there, and potential for much more!
SOOO, usa REAL ecigs first launch for entire world? i was trying to see if we could get some data info from europe if REAL launched at earlier date. mgmt. will need to establish usa distribution program..my understanding is that sfio has many contacts lined up worldwide from earlier pr's-so assuming usa Real numbers "pan out", we should anticipate a huge world-wide launch next couple months? mfr. needs to crank out 24/7 production!
thanks for gracious post..in since 5/26..yes, newbie..(5) buys at 20k each..plans to add many more..selling $3k zlcs monday..bulk proceeds toward sfio..and will continue.. gtc$1.00. reading a million posts daily, plus sfio google back quite a ways to early days we will move forward from..still confused, understand new product REAL vaporless sold out usa, but was this same new product Real ever offered for sale in europe prior to usa launch? i know sfio has established presence in other countries selling other products. non smoker, presently researching industry to gain confident knowledge, much to "inhale"...instant impression is huge potential..huge!! thx again..
i must say that certainly was a one of a kind article to read while doing dd on cgaq..usa attorney partner art tarlow filed suit to recover his investment, was horrifically shot (4 times?) the night before court was to set an auction date for (casciati's)sosua bay resort and award tarlow's settlement. news stated casciati's driver and guard arrested few days later, but confused on that and they may only have been "detained"..big movie potential here! still long cgaq!
interested non-smoking investor, trying to process postings and sfio info..questions: the recent real smokefree cig has sold out of first usa offering and has been reordered. has this same usa real smokefree version been previously sold in other countries prior to usa introduction? if so, how long? anxious about sfio distribution programs..how has sfio marketed/distributed cigs elsewhere..i know in belgium i believe they sell in vending machines and maybe convenience-type stores..does sfio offer a seperate online website for product purchases in other countries? thanks.
i think this dd exposes ggl as a good choice to jv online gaming project and thanks for your replies...just remember, my next dd might annoy you tremendously, and you might well call me a basher. i strongly believe in the potential of cgaq, we just need to dd to decide if cgaq is capable of implementing.i'm shareholder, promise to "call them as i see them" along the dd journey..
fantastic article..thanks for posting..is there any way we can get disher to photoshop celeb photos-leonardo wearing a REAL cap, depp in a sfio tee, and fashionista Paris with here new line of sfio accessories...only disappointment with article is at the end i "clicked" on ad link..took me to e-cigs...need to replace with sfio Real!!! mktg needs to get some celebs on pr board..tremendous potential with sfio!!
researched: (13)internet gaming sites using ggl software..i just signed up for one -(5DIMES)- simple, standard sign-up, accepted usa player..moneywallet and clickpay2 deposits..glanced through 5DIMES- live gaming, sportsbook, racing,casino..all available..point being, appears ggl reputable, capable of delivering software needed for cgaq online gaming..confident and comfortable with ggl choice..
Super..you did see it work and know potential if marketed to clients (i play live at poker sites and addictive setting!). i think we need to be aggressive with cgaq and get this rolling if doable! racetrack geat potential, but not a done deal and even if gets done, we are a ways away from generating big revenues..online gaming is instant..here and now revenues!! finally, you have been great with quick replies..just like to ask your thoughts on posting the available (non-working)live roulette link on this board? we are both shareholders, i'm interested in buying many more..your posts indicate you are a straight-shooter ...is leaving the "ad" up, for lack of better words, a pump for cgaq .."in hope of...."? just asking..thx again. (and i won't dwell on this any longer. my last post on this ad until i get mgmt. response).
i've had a couple intro emails with rep at ggl..no substance yet, but i'll continue..and inform.
sony..your post correct about kens and ggl...."but (live roulette) seems not to be working now" statement confuses me..cgaq website AND this board has a large, live roulette available link posted with available betting hours..but when folks access it does not work..that said, as moderator are you comfortable posting the live roulette available now link? not busting your chops, i appreciate your dd...and maybe i'm way off base hear with the link? i would like to clear this up and not just move on without an answer..i will add to list of mgmt questions if we can't solve the mystery..thx.
Grrrrrrrr!!!! I'ved been harping on that repeatedly for several days now!! this is a potential goldmine and can't just shut up and walk away from..website "advertisement" indicates live roulette in operation, but when i and couple others explore opportunity to play it does not function..i'm getting my questions together for mgmt phone call..trying to research all attractive projects discussed during the last year so i can get as many answers as i can in one shot..great question though, if you find answer prior to mine, please holler!
i read someplace that cgaq having an investors meeting june 25th...can you verify this and is it in bradenton or DR? thx
nice posting..thanks...i'm concerned about live roulette, think great potential there..you have it listed as a positive and working, but when i attempt to visit and inquire further about playing, it takes me to a useless godaddy page..can anyone confirm that this is actually operational at this time (by playing), or is it just listed as a non-working "advertisement"
i should have reworded question..curious as to estimating sfio margins for co and dist...extra ssn available in our town for few bucks,,lol
hey matty, just curious...what is your profit % as an affiliate selling ecigs? also, what do you think the profit margin is for your mfr?..thnaks
good post..thx
your right! my figures wrong big time..have never smoked a cig in my life, just figured a $30/carton...after reviewing site, still have no idea..leave that for experienced folk..thanks for pointing out exaggerated revenues..
my figures were punctuated with question marks..???..i will double check, but that's why i inquired with ??
guesstimates for how long it takes to sell out 19600 cartons..total revs around $600k ..am i close? (non-smoker, figuring $30/carton) ..profit potential per carton? lots of variables, just some fun digesting numbers..
i agree with you 100%...company's that are sticklers for details may well be sticklers with product quality!! no excuse for pr basics 101..
just checked for real starter kits..first page on site says available now in large red letters...went to place order and says sold out..fyi
thanks dan, i'll run initial questions by roberto first, then follow up with mr swank for "checks and balances".
gottcha"...work overload, will get dd together so i have an initial idea of what i'm talking about..reviewing ALL past company (back to 2009) press releases, attempting to contact recipient cos of those releases (ie-joint ventures)for their assessments and jot some questions/concerns down for updating..cgaq interesting..1mil share goal..but need much more confidence of facts vs hype..
in summary, cgaq approached govt about track leasing ..we have no idea if they are interested in leasing or not. if govt interested, they'll let cgaq and any other interested bidders know? we have name recognition, but in no way is ths a done deal..also indicated by roberto..all the more reason why we need to focus on existing cgaq revenue generating projects.
well roberto..i tried to get in a couple quick questions...must have stumped you..i'll take other posters advice and get a few concerns together and give mr swank a call in a few days and try to get some invstor relations dd done..
last question roberto....many wondering, so i'll ask...just what day did puerto slot parlor open? just curious,,,i reviewed several DR news sources and could not find any "slot parlor" grand opening press releases...it is something that we are use to in usa...kudos for opening slot parlor!! thanks for visiting!!
hi roberto, so i can assume that live betting is not available at this time according to post? i know live betting available for europe and asia..roberto, i would suggest that if live betting not working..and i don't know how long it has not...please remove the lady dealer with advertised operational hours for live roulette betting on website...i find this extremely misleading and annoying...reword it as work in progress or take down...but terrible customer experience to attempt to play and can't..thanks for responding!!
roberto..another quickie...kiosk certification issued 2/22/11 for cgaq to open a manufacturing assembly plant in DR allowing kiosk export. also 50/50 joint venture with GGL (proprietors of gamebase software)-allowing gamebase kiosks to be installed in any casino, sports bar,clubs,rest. where law permits (usa/central america/DR)..i read pr with $450,000 pre-mfr orders...update please..mfr facility operating, any kiosks in use outside cgaq establishments...thanks, interested investor begging to buy more!!
Hi Roberto,new investor with quick questions...status of live betting right now..link promotes as working, but appears not...info please
i think the only factual, verifiable news that i can provide at this time is that share price dropping considerably and might be a good spec investment...no kiosk info,though i am presently in email correspondence with global gaming labs to try and verify relationship concerning kiosk software status, online casino not functioning but still advertised as working, one of the casinos closed since your last visit..that said, remarkably i'm long..ps- puerto plata slot parlor finally opened, great news...though it appears to have been a "stealth" opening since it has supposedly been open for several days (and we just found out yesterday), and i have googled multiple purto plata local news `sources to find any puerto plata slot parlor "grand opening" press releases...none...oh well, maybe they will have a grand re-opening down the road..also, hoping to hear some news about racetrack soon...mr swank turned over all required info, press release mentioned that DR govt would issue response in 2 wks..we are couple days past due at this time..still hopeful!
hi diane, interesting email not authored, like i mentioned earlier it most likely would not be..i have previous emails from spph and hail first..both authored by jean amyot..he then stopped "signing" on subsequent responses..my opinion that he undoubtedly pulls the strings..max just a puppet.. last response from jean is his intention to open office in dubai..recent email from max stated he sent all info to hail first some time ago, all he could do, in their hands now..and now, you have hff email essentially putting the ball back in spph court..i've taken purely a guess that hff intentions are to swap frankfort ipo 10 euro(?) shares for spph deal, although previous agreement called for all cash deal..can't happen..figured hff hoped to trade near worthless for more near worthless...then hff price collapse once deal done..but, hff can't get frankfort listing for some reason, big problem here...if continues, hff will issue press release delaying (again) june buyout due to "market turmoil"-lol! ..just like last time they did not meet march 17 obligation.
i also checked...brad hare president...website is www.mammoth4cash.com ...server would not connect..called listed phone in lake zurich,ill..presentable recording machine answered..checked google maps for existing biz location..also, appears company has made similar stock loans, they are responsible when selling shares back to market..outside of not logging into website, i was rather pleased to find that this is a loan they are accustomed to.. confidence level is "B"...
dan, honest reply...always another day...did want to just grab and shake you though concerning earlier posts...and shake you silly!!! lol...glty
Terrific News!! ..put on your gameface and "Let's Get It On"!!! time for you eat the bear or the bear eats you...
Good news indeed!! it appears slot parlor has been opened several days according to pr, rather surprised our detective team did not discover prior to cgaq news release (including myself!). i googled cgaq parlor info in DR and not able to find any recent grand opening headlines promos..i'll check later DR local news to see if there was an opening promo.. Chachinggggg...
out of curiousity, i googled local area news to see if i could locate a headline concerning the slot parlor and any possible "grand opening date"..i was only able to find news from earlier months concerning slot parlor construction plans and a slew of yesterday's parlor reports repeating mr. swanks news release..i am glad it is opened!! ...i'm a little surprised that release implies it may have been opened more than one day and we did not know, and surprised i can't google parlor info and research any opening parlor local promo..but, it is opened an i hope someone posts inside photos for review..opening is good news.
AMEN!!
