The homless guy with the golden voice, as the new voice of GO800, I heard that too! Wow, what a rumor! GO GOIG!!!!!! :) Spread the word!! :)
GLTA...
They are loading and Ike is dilluting...got to keep the lights on, right?!
Ted Williams "The Golden Voice" as the new voice of GO800!!!
How about that?! Will that do, yoyo?! :)
GLTA...
This is GOOD, I just wish they would have surveyed alot more than 206 people. I know many of us got the call, but because it was an unknown number, many of us let the call go to voicemail, and they didn't leave a message.
So, Ike, repeat the survey and this time go for at least a couple thousand people...if we get similar results it would be far more impressive to use as a selling point to business!
GLTA...
Cheers yoyo! Bottoms up! :)
GLTA...
Hello. Sadly, it was just that. But, we hope that by signing up and using Twitter, to include the promotion to let Twitter users have their Twitter name on GO800, if it catches on then maybe the management of Twitter will take notice and something might happen.

Hate to say it, but yes not the smartest thing selling your blue chips to buy pinks! :) Buying highly speculative stocks should be one of the LAST rungs of your investment ladder. Starts at the bottom with savings, CDs, bonds, emergency funds, then into stuff like college funds & retirement funds which are usually in mutual funds, then into some strong individual blue chips, and finally if you have any money left, throw some at the speculative investments! I hope for you guys both that it all works out! Just remember never put all (or even most of) your eggs in one basket...

Welcome and good post but just remember, we're here to discuss the stock, the company, etc fairly and honestly. We're not here to put on a "show". If there are good things going on, we discuss them. If there are bad things going on, we discuss them. This board is here for folks to rant, rave, jeer, cheer, etc as the situation dictates. If folks are just honest, realistic, and fair about it, then it makes for good, honest opinions for folks to add to the "investor opinions" category of their DD. But again, we're not here to call the sky sunny & clear when it's clearly overcast. So, let's hope that the long term forecast calls for sunny skies! If that happens, then yes now is a great time to buy!
GLTA...
All good reasons to make use of Twitter as well as all the other social mediums like facebook. And, maybe one day there can be a no kidding, real, genuine, consensual, mutual business relationship or "joint venture" between GOIG and Twitter. Only time will tell, so let's hope for the best!
Those of us who are shareholders of GOIG, especially those of us who are officially by IRS rules LONG on our shares, will be in a great position if that day comes!
GLTA...
Excellent post, Oil! Thanks for puttng the FNG in his place.
Go GOIG, but let's just be honest and realistic about it, for better or worse...
GLTA...
That's pretty much what my summary was saying, although I don't care to speculate on the chances of such an ACTUAL joint venture ever happening. Maybe if Twitter bought out GOIG that would be the blessing we've all been waiting/hoping for. Anything to get this out of Ike/MinaMoo's hands and into the control of an entity that is willing to truly do something with it...
My last post for today, 15 post limit.
Good luck to everyone, just hope it's all done in a way that you can look at yourself and your family and be proud of. Yeah, call me crazy, I still believe in integrity and morals. Kind of outdated thinking maybe but oh well...
GLTA...
Dolphin, it could very well be just me and my connection maybe. Thanks for the link. What are your thoughts on things lately?
Thanks & GLTA...
Who really knows, I sure don't. At this point Ike has very little, if any, credibility. As far as I'm concerned, NOTHING he says is true unless it can independantly verified.
I want GOIG to succeed as much as, if not more then, anyone else but it can NOT and should not happen by deception!
Good luck to us all...
Dolphin, thanks for putting up the charts, though at least for me I could only see the 6 month chart. The other 2 the image files show as broken links?
GLTA...
All very true...so, let's just hope that by using Twitter as GOIP really is using it, that it goes well and in turn that sparks interest for Twitter to see, appreciate, and knowingly enter a partnership. THAT is the right way to do business...and I hope it happens, because then we can have a REAL, sustained climb in PPS...
So Ike, SHAME on you for being misleading, BUT, I hope it works out correctly in the long run...
GLTA...
PS. I want the PPS to go up too, but sorry it shouldn't be done by LYING. Call me crazy and/or old fashioned...
The Twitter debate...
For anyone who's been following the discussion; no one is faulting the use of Twitter to try and spread the word about GO800. In fact, it's a great idea; use ALL the social networks to the fullest extent possible. The question/debate is concerning how Ike and his people have, in one way or another, been very vague in their wording (big surprise there), and almost made it sound like Twitter was in a consenual partnership with GOIP. Whether it's that, or whether Twittter has no clue and GOIP is just posting on Twitter (again, which is fine) which it most likely is since no one including Brendan will clarify it for us (sorry B, asked you twice now).
Now, what is our purpose in finding out and discussing it? Because it would be bad (except for the flippers anyway) if we had a short run up because Ike let people THINK it was a partnership, then the bubble gets bursted when it's found to be not true. Don't forget, all kinds of major companies were listed as having keywords that worked, those companies just didn't know anything about it. I even called a few back then to thank them and compliment them for being "so smart as to use GO800" such as Wal-Mart, Chase, Sears, and many more. Most of the responses were "Huh? What is GO8000?" Yeah, I felt stupid but lamely hoped that my call would put the idea in their heads. (Yeah, right, good wishing!)
So again, that GOIP is using Twitter to try and spread the word is great. But to imply a no kidding, no BS, "partnership" when there is none, is WRONG, immoral, unethical, etc.
So if it's true great, Ike just needs to confirm it or better yet someone from Twitter can confirm it. Otherwise, the implications if they are false need to S-T-O-P.
GLTA...
Sounds goods but what decent talent is going to accept a job for shares only? Which is about all Ike could affford to pay anyone these days...
If there was any money left, I think he should hire Ted Williams, the "homeless man with the golden voice"!! What a great story, and an awesome talent! A truly genuine guy, very good story...
GLTA...
I don't think there is any lack of belief or support in the product/concept of GO800. There is, however, almost a universal lack of faith in Ike's management, and rightfully so. He's done far more for his own wallet than the company. This can, however, change mighty quickly if something big were to ever happen, and I think that is what most of us are waiting/hoping for...
GLTA...
They are? Who is "they"? And what "are" they doing? You must write PRs for Ike because that was classic vaguery! Please expand, and provide PROOF if you go where I think you're going. Which, I'd be more than happy if you can go there, but again, it CANNOT be just you claiming it, you MUST back it up!
Thanks and GLTA...
Thanks for stealing my line about this topic, unique! "Cart before the horse"
I've been asking this same question, as it does make a world of difference IMHO, even asked Brendan directly, but got no answer.
Good that GO800 is trying to use Twitter, but even better if Twitter is implicitly involved...
GLTA...
It was all going well until he got on a shopping spree for other companies plus his own bloated salary. Maybe now he'll finally figure out not to put the horse before the cart.
Don't spend what you don't have! Grow your principle product, THEN move into other areas to expand...
GLTA...
You're not crazy at all. The concept is an A+, just the leadership/management is an F-
Keep believing in the concept! Hopefully the company will succeed despite Ike's best efforts...
GLTA...
Thrifty Nickel!!! lol Haven't heard that one in a long time...since I was stationed in Florida in the 90s. Do you live in the South?
GLTA GOIG...
SM
Good find/posting. Hopefully those names will all sign on sooner or later...
GLTA...
Hey Valentine, good to hear from you. Figured you might have been on the boat heading out of GOIG. Wouldn't have blamed you one bit!
Not sure where this is going. The financials look horrible, yet the PPS climbs. Who knows, guess we'll just go with it and seee what happens!
Cheers...
SM
Wouldn't we all! I remember that day quite vividly. I happened by luck to have a .06 sell in for half of my shares. No particular reason, in fact I had changed that sell from anywhere between .04 and .06 several times in the week leading up to that day. The day it hit .06 my sell was for .06 and for whatever reason; my lousy broker, the brief touch of .06 before back down, etc it did not execute! Having sold that half would have put me in a really, really nice position, where I would not care so much what happened with the other half, though of course I'd still love to see it grow. Anyway, fond memories, or not so fond since I didn't catch .06 while it was there! lol
Anyway, my last post of the day, getting used to the 15 limit again. Good luck everyone, hope all your long term investing dreams come true! The short termers, well, good luck to you to though I don't always agree with your tactics it is still a free country and you can do as you please within the limit of the law! :)
Thanks & GLTA...
Ok, the heck with the reason, since we can't figure one out right now may as well just cheer it on...GO GOIG! lol
And to think I personally was close to selling out a couple days ago. I hope this is a slow, steady climb and not just an anomaly!
By the way, whatever happened to ValentineX?
GLTA...
C'mon dreammaker, you're better than that! What is your theory?! I've already heard JL's theory.
I do agree with your message here, by the way. I think both the rumors and the news have past though, so maybe some feel better about things?
By the way, MK says get over here and fix our printer! :)
GLTA...
Whether it's a green day or a red day, a few good clean laughs to keep things in perspective never hurts! That's usually Yoyo's job!
GLTA...
BRENDAN: In ref to your last PM: I didn't know that and will keep it as a mental note, though I still agree with the basic message of the post.
(Sorry, I really did let go of the paid account, thus cannot reply privately anymore)
Thanks!
LOL finally Ike made a good decision! I'll be the first to stand up and admit it!
Good question...BRENDAN: If this hasn't already been asked or clarified, and forgive me if it has, I certainly don't have time to read every message on this board, can you clarify the whole Twitter thing:
Are GOIG and Twitter in some kind of no kidding, no BS, signed, sealed consensual partnership to further GO800's service, or...
Is this just G0800 using Twitter's platform to advertise?
The question is naturally spawned out of what has become a long standing GOIG PR habit of word vaguery/trickery that often makes things appear better than they really are. So, just for clarification so everyone is clear, thanks!
GLTA...
I hear ya but I/we just curious why it is up so much? Our little office pool had resigned ourselves to trips by now after we put Ike's audio on speaker phone then read the financials later in the day.
Again, we'll take it but was hoping someone had some threory or insight into what's going on today, and yesterday really...thanks!
GLTA...
Thanks J1720...but wait, you mean I hadn't already earned a person mark from you yet?!?! :)
GLTA...
EXCELLENT POST!! Person mark for you, and this should be (but won't) sticky-ied!
By the way, half dozen of us in my office sitting here (not working sadly), all invested in GOIG, all very happy to see it up, but wondering why exactly it is up? Hate to question a good thing, but can anyone lend some input why it is up, especially after the financial info came out and was so bad? THANKS!
Thanks & GLTA...
Brendan, I let go of the paid account, so I do not have private messaging anymore, so this will have to do!
I cannot speak for those who have harassed you needlessly or excessively. I'm sure Ike doesn't care what anyone thinks and I think you are genuine and take it to heart but know enough to ignore those. So, I'm merely talking about those of us who have constructively criticized GOIG/Ike when the situation warrants it here on our investor chat board, where we all have a right to speak our mind freely and honestly even if you mods like to delete any that aren't agreeable to (like my original message was...WHY???). But I've always been very fair in that regard, and most of the regular, active posters have been as well.
Anyway, sorry if some people are getting crazy and attacking you; that's what happens when the combination of people invest more than they should and then things go badly like GOIG has. None the less, the mature crowd here we still have the right to disagree, be pessimistic, etc free speech! This board was running rampant for a long time but in the last few months we've cleaned it up quite a bit; where honesty, fairness, and cold, hard realism is the order of the day.
Thanks for speaking up by the way...
That was posted with Ward's permission! Ok maybe not, where did that guy go? He was awesome. His GOIG youtube video was funny as hell, but is no where to be found?!
Seriously, why is this going up? I'm happy for it, but need to know WHY/HOW.
GLTA...
LOL!!! So very true!! He is the only one who has reaped any rewards out of this lump of coal...
Yeah but nothing, I repeat, NOTHING, would have the exposure and effect as a streaker during the super bowl!!! LOL
Yeah but the result could turn this sinking ship into a luxury cruiseliner!!! :)
