steh...your frustrations are felt, imo, by the entire board. Admittedly or not...sahd and sting have even vented a time or two over the recent months. However, I believe they possess a very important role in maintaining, or rather, trying to maintain optimism in the company and amongst all of us on ihub. We all invested in this company with expectations of "grandeur", but the company has ALWAYS been a pink sheet stock...VERY SPECULATIVE. They are not governed by the same authorities as the major exchange stocks are, so people running the companies can make all the promises in the world and NOT deliver. I bought this stock doing as much dd as I possibly could. I see a need and I see a huge market opportunity, I'm just a bit frustrated with management. They need to get their "crap" together. We all know one can have a great product or service but if management is "lacking", then the likelihood of reaching "great things" is doubtful and we're no better off then a company with "inadequate" products and services. Management must excel all the time. They've been behind the learning curve for far too long and it's time they move to the front.
It's apparent that we all want great things for scmi/mmxt and I'm looking forward to seeing it thru to fruition.
take care,
tbb
Agreed...
Sting
I agree with your points. However, the company(ies) need to recognize and imo, ackowledge, that poor track record and put efforts toward remedying such view.
What I find so shameful is when long time longs seem to give up when the view should be so much brighter. The company should put much more effort in regaining support. They have done an extremely poor job of public relations.
I have been a part of a long and drawn out "audit" process and do know that "timelines" to auditors mean absolutely NOTHING. The company having supplied a completion date of audit and filing of the S4 probably was not the best move. Now they've fallen thru (again) with a commited timeframe. In the mind of a frustrated shareholder that smells of deceit...again.
I sure hope they have a "bang out" Q4 and hire YOU for their PR and Marketing division.
Always searching for the positive....
tbb
much appreciate it!
sting...favor to ask of you.
Would you be at all adverse to trying to reach Peter directly and inquire about the status of the audit and the merger.
I realize he needs to spend his time selling and doing the audit but surely he can spare 10-15 minutes to update you.
thanks,
tbb
sounds reasonable....
I myself have never spoken to PJ, but I know many of you have in the past. Does anyone find it "odd" that there has not been any recent conversations with him directly?
I am still long on the stock, and know he needs to be working on and finishing the audit, but don't those of you who have spoken to him personally find it a bit strange.
Just looking for thoughts and open conversation on a stock we all hold A LOT of shares in.
Take care all.
tbb
Steh...Has anyone been able to speak directly with Peter Jacobs lately?
L-2 indicates over 3.2mm shares have traded.
Is it safe to assume it traded on the "greys"?
Level 2 has no indicated activity....it's a completely blank screen...
You too money....take care.
I think we've both made our points...
Cheers and good luck to you!
tbb
Really I did not intend to offend you but certainly expected that I probably would and for that I am sorry. Megas is being bombarded with phone calls and emails and I imagine he is tired of it by now...especially from those trying to come accross "dupped"....
You are right...I don't know what kind of dd you injected before making the leap in to the stock...your email to Megas certainly did not elude to having done "any"
Don't try and come accross unknowingly scathed.
I'm with Linda...stop bothering Megas and let him do what he needs to do to remedy the situation. Then and only then, will we might come out o.k....
Cheers.
"my money"
You're email reads..."The stock looked interesting and was moving up nicely so i bought some,
It's clear you didn't due much due dilligence.
"little did I know I bought fake shares." Safe to assume "you did know"...jmho and no offense intended.
"Please make sure this you protect the people who believed in you and your company." If this were "truly" the case you would have research the purchase a bit further.
So...my point in this is...s maybe he's messing with you. Feeling like you are trying to appear more "dupped" than you really were.
I am in know way nullifying what the mm's and Pino/CarterCare did...they do need to be held accountable and pay "bigtime" for the mess they've intentionally created.
I hold shares myself and am hoping for a positive shareholder outcome.
Fortunes for all....
sorry...meant "buy your shares"...thx
Peter...if you don't mind being asked "when did you guy your shares"?

Wednesday September 14, 9:52 am ET
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 14, 2005--Los Angeles-based BBKO Ltd. has officially announced the active participation of rock legend and "the Demon of KISS" Gene Simmons as co-managing director of the company. BBKO is a 21st-century boxing venture based in Los Angeles that seeks to broaden the sport beyond its traditional ring by infusing it with equally hard-hitting entertainment. The company was originally co-founded, and its business plan developed, by Simmons prior to its July 2005 acquisition by Orbit Brands Corporation (Nasdaq: OBTV - News).
KISS has broken box office records set by Elvis and The Beatles and continues to be the juggernaut of licensing/merchandising, with over 2,500 licenses. Among the marketing and merchandising accomplishments of the band:
Visa partnered with the band to create a branded KISS Visa card.
The KISS Canon camera recently debuted in Japan.
KISS has done commercials for both Pepsi and Coca Cola, among other advertisers.
KISS and Warner Bros. have just begun work on "KISS Babies," a new cartoon show.
A KISS Broadway show is currently in development.
KISS has three Nascars.
KISS has three NHRA Hot Rods.
As an individual and rock icon himself, Gene Simmons:
Discovered Van Halen and produced their 15-song demo.
Managed the music career of Liza Minnelli and others.
Produced the New Line movie Detroit Rock City.
Created and executive produced the hit Nickelodeon cartoon "My Dad the Rock Star," created the popular Oxygen series smash "Mr. Romance" and is currently shepherding "Gene Simmons' Rock School," a reality show for VH1 to debut this September, and "Gene Simmons' Family Jewels," a reality show for A&E also to debut this Fall.
Has written two New York Times best-sellers: Kiss and Make-up and Sex Money Kiss.
Is publisher of his own magazine, Gene Simmons Tongue (SterlingMcFadden).
Co-starred in the Michael Crichton movie Runaway, in the action drama Wanted: Dead or Alive and in the teen comedy The New Guy. He has also guest starred on myriad television series including "Miami Vice," "The Hitchhiker," "Family Guy" and as a guest judge on "American Idol."
Heads his own record label, Simmons Records/Sanctuary Music.
Heads his own DVD label, Simmons Audio Visual.
Heads his own publishing imprint, Simmons Books/Phoenix Books.
"Besides being an accomplished entrepreneur, Gene has a canny sense of how entertainment can organically enhance a sports institution such as boxing," stated Joe Cellura, chairman and CEO of Orbit Brands Corporation. "His active involvement in BBKO will fuel the growth of the company in all areas, and we enthusiastically welcome him aboard."
OT: Ditch...i'm in bcit also...any thoughts on how we play out?
Fortunes to you ditch. Watch serfdom on a few of the other ihub boards. Always a character!

tbb
Not much experience charting either. Both your analysises where very good. On my end, other than seeing macd positive, trend reversal...consolidation at bottom and awaited news released, I not banking on .75 but I do see some money being made from current buy-in levels. I'm in at .00215. Another thing to watch closely if you have it is level 2. When I enthusiastically bought in, one could see heavy mm hanging around the .0016 level...i figured with my luck if I put a limit versus a market i'd miss out. What do ya know...we went as low as .0015 after the surge. Feel good about my buy though. Done much dd and there's a lot going on that should bode very positively for recent shareholders.
take care all.

Is anyone on this board associated with Sterne Agee & Leach Inc.
tia.
tbb
Has anyone checked with the DTC or SEC...whomever could disclose whether we will resume trading on Thurs?
"ad hoc"...random communications. "ad hoc solutions formed or used for specific or immediate problems or needs.
MIVT...does anyone have any insight here? Very EXECITING things seem to be happening for the company. Have had several investment mags mention the HUGE opportunity this company represents for investors and patients....
tbb
Who the heck cares on the date...the article still might be of some consequence in the SEC making right by the BCIT shareholders, if it can be proven that this guy has been out there defrauding investors for years and NO one has done anything about it.
I'd say "c'mon" about jailing Martha Stewart over this guy!
Surely your not discounting the article...

I want to put out there information on two crooks operating out there in the financial services arena, Mario Pino & Nico Botha. Although I don't have any detailed information on Nico Botha due to his residence outside of this country, I do have information on Mario Pino. I stumbled across a story about him and was amazed to see him actually being put out there as a legitimate enitity now.
I met Mario Pino back in 1997 and he said he could assist me in finding funding I was looking for for an overseas project. He connected me with a man in Australia by the name of Nicolaas Johannes Botha. To make a long story short, Nico, masquerading as an international financier, was in business solely to steal large amounts of money from unsuspecting and unsophisticated persons such as myself, at that time. Mario was one of his conduits for bringing sheep to the fox. Nico was arrested by the Queensland Police Service in late 1997 and spent approx. 2.5 years behind bars and then was extradited to his home country of S. Africa. I lost $320,000 and a person I met during the court proceedings lost just under $100,000. The Qld Police flew me, and two others, out twice to testify against Nico
It was estimated that in the years Nico had been doing this, he amassed over $10 million dollars. Percentages were paid out to people like Mario for their assistance in the con. For some info on Nico that I found on the net
Now this is where things get interesting. I stumbled across Mario's name while doing some research recently and was amazed to discover that he was now trying to make a name for himself in legitimate business circles, at least so I thought. To see this guy that set me up for the kill, and who I went to the FBI on with no result, now representing himself as a legitimate financial player really ticked me off.
I studied his Mellon Research Website and also the Wall Street Securities website and laughed at the fact that they are identical.
I have come to the following conclusions:
1. Mario is still in relations with Nico Botha. The financial forms used in previously linked website are almost identical to the ones used when I was dealing with Nico.
2. Mario is trying to look legitimate while still doing devious and unethical practices. Why else would he use well known names such as Mellon Research or Wall Street Securities...to give folks a false sense of security. I truly believe as well that the vast majority of the press releases he sends out are manufactured to keep folks on the hook.
Do not do business with this man or you will get burned!
For the benefit of others,

re: KOCH's pr information....
Something that I'm interested to know but was not included in Koch's contract announcement is the number of projected cd's they expect to release by the year's end. OR did I miss that information. "KOCH will utilize the technology on upcoming releases from BG, D-Block, Black Ice and M1." These 4 are all I saw....Hopefully it's many more than just 4 new releases.
tbb
mesh...you are too cute and funny! Very good!!
My point is this: There are too many "active" mm's hanging down at the .02 level....I honestly don't think the way this stock pps trends has anything to do with book value. It does have to do new emergent trading ranges and the newest range appears to be .02-.03. Once .02 is clearly established, unless pj finalizes the merge and other positive developments are announced by beings other than the company itself, my bet is a new, lower range will emerge. Then the question becomes..."when do folks stop averaging down"? Clearly the only new investors would be "day traders" which imo...we don't want. We've all waited too long for this stocks pps to rise and sustain itself on substance and new developments NOT day trading hype and enthusiasm. I'm not looking for the return on a buy at .01 and a sell at .06...I want much much more than that!
tbb
Collin...thanks. Have a great week. tbb
sahd...good support at .025 developed on the bid tape. Still too many mm hanging down at .02 for my comfort level. If we go down to .02 the problem is "no holds barr" for continuing lower especially if the merger finalization hasn't been definately stated by PJ and possibly a contract announcement with BMG. Honestly I sometimes question the whole manipulation of these two stocks. The powers of be "whoever they may be" could be deliberately taking mmxt below scmi as a means to increase from the originally state 1:1 swap. If mmxt is trading at .02 and scmi at .03 they have to honor a 1 1/2:1 just for scmi shareholders to keep they're equity at time of the merge whole...correct?
Hey...have a great one!!
tbb
sahd...Good Morning!
Do you subscribe to alphatrade's level2?
W/O seeming to start the week on a pessimistic note...I seriously hope KOCH and other reputable newswires put out some verbage on scmi/mmxt...QUICK. According to level 2 mmxt is more likely than not going to see .02.
Enjoy the day...especially the OBTV ride.
tbb
EXCELLENT news tdj!!!
Frustrating that mm instead of shareholders and company progress are driving this stock. PJ needs to get back in the driver's seat...imo
Agree completely to your earlier statement.
tbb
Pathetic! L-2 indicates mm looking to see .02...that pps seems to be where the fisherman are "bobbin" for the fish....
Come on scmi/mmxt....hook a big one and share!
