LOL this is your first post on the RVGD board ever, unless you have a banned 2nd account...
Where are all the firework PR's that were promised to us?
My guess is people are flipping the ^$*&%^ out of this stock & it kills any upward momentum everytime it upticks.
Thanks sooner, I agree. I don't post on here as often as I would like just because there is too much extra crap going on here. I am sometimes hesitant to post my own DD here since some just call me a liar try to discredit me. What can we do about it? Just ban the drama queens & we should be good!
I remembered what they called the small creature in Peru. It is called "el duende". You can google that & find lots of similar stories about it. Here are a few of them that you will find very interesting:
http://au.answers.yahoo.com/answers2/frontend.php/question?qid=20070904154700AA8yehf
It’s a spook that walks with the turned around feet emitting a frightful whine. It’s dedicated to annoy the families of the farmers until it drives them crazy and forces them to emigrate towards the cities.
The duende usually moves things of its place or hides them. It lives in caves, where it hides children to drive them crazy.
At night, the duende throws stones to the roofs of the houses, or chases girls that are old enough to have a boyfriend, is also does braids to horses and plays the guitar. In fact, one way of scaring him away is placing a guitar at midnight so that it doesn’t bother the family.
The legend also says that the duende is an angel expelled from heaven due to his envy towards God, and therefore was condemned to wander by the fields scaring people.

"...it is a short little creature, about three feet tall. El duende wears a long white robe made of roughly woven indigenous cloth with a hat so ridiculously wide-brimmed you can’t see his face. His hair is long and snow white. He loves beautiful and pure things. That’s why he steals little girls with blonde hair and blue eyes. Only children can see him. In the rural areas, when several children all share the same imaginary friend, speaking to the air and listening as though they hear a response, the parents take notice.”

In my town some people told me that a long time ago there was a little man that looked like a boy because he was so short.
El Cipitillo is a very bad and dangerous boy because he likes to tease pretty girls. He is very ugly. He has his feet on backwards. He has a large hat and a large stomach.
He likes to throw little rocks in the girls' food. He likes to also follow them. When the girls don't like him, he treats them badly. He scares them and doesn't let them sleep at night.
I emailed my story about the Peruvian leprechaun to a site I found that was covering the gnome story & it they posted it on their site at http://terrorgnome.com/. The guy who made the website has been offered by Ripley's Believe it or Not a free trip to Argentina to investigate along with a few other guys. Pretty cool. I hope they can find something. Many people I talked to in Peru had seen something similar to this & I was surprised by how many people actually believed in it.
2008 California Cruise-In
3rd Huntington Beach Pier event – April 26th
Anyone nearby planning on attending this show to check out Factory Five?
http://www.factoryfive.com/whatsnew/showevent/knottshb/update08.html
As we start to plan our annual shows and events, we long to return to Huntington Beach – the joys of the sun, surf, sand and sounds of more than a hundred engines roaring to life. Just the thought of it brings happy tears to our eyes.
This year’s event, the 3rd annual California Cruise-In at the Huntington Beach Pier, will be an all-day event of cars, good friends, music and fun times for everyone in attendance - and this year will be right at the heart of things at the Pier Plaza.
We plan to make our presence at Huntington Beach bigger and better every year, and this is the year to get things off and running as the inaugural all-day California Cruise-In, at the world famous Huntington Beach Pier.
Along with some of the best Factory Fives on the West Coast, we’re honored that Heather Smith, owner of CSX 3035 and FFR1000252CP, will be coming in from Fresno to join us at the show.
From the East Coast, we’ll load up a fleet of fantastic FFRs for the show, including Dick Smith’s famous #198.
The event will take place at the Huntington Beach Pier Plaza (and the nearby 5th street parking lot), from 8am until 8pm on Saturday, April 26th, and we hope that you can join us and the 100+ FFROGs and their cars.
This is a Factory Five customer appreciation event, yet it’s also an opportunity to make new friends, swap stories and to get to know car enthusiasts of all kinds. Everyone is welcome to come down to the Pier and hang out with us for the day!
If you plan to bring your Factory Five down to the show, make sure to register for a space here. Once registered, we’ll hold a space* for you as long as you show up before 10am on Saturday morning to claim it. Parking space is limited, so make sure to get your name on the list today!
After 10:00, any available spaces will open up on a first come, first served basis – for Factory Five’s as well as any Cobras.
Just a few of the things we're planning for this party at the pier:
· Judged FFR show
· Goodie bags for all Factory Fives
· Scooter Raffle
· DJ
· Nearly $1,000 worth of raffle prizes
We'll also be attending the Knotts Replica show on Saturday and Sunday, but at a much smaller scale than in years past.
Could be over the weekend when it's released though. I'm interested in seeing their analysis.
"Analyst reviews will be posted for free under "today's articles," by Monday before the market opens."
I just signed up for the Bellweather report, it's free, but the RVGD report hasn't shown up as of yet.
Still waiting for the fireworks. Hopefully this is the beginning of them & the next one confirms the end of dilution from whoever or whatever is doing it.
"Once the dilution is OVER fireworks begin with the amazing PRs ... FYI!!!"
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.asp?Message_id=27247632&txt2find=fireworks
The investors could mean dealership owners, such as Charlie Conkle, the owner of Conkle Pontiac-GMC in Kokomo, IN.
Very nice, BeauBeau thanks! But why couldn't they just say it was the GTM in the PR?!?
The Corvette ZR1 is a new American supercar, designed to compete with the best exotic sports cars in the world, powered by a new supercharged LS9 6.2-liter V8 engine that will produce at least 620 horsepower and around 595 lb-ft of torque. The ZR1 is the fastest production car ever produced by General Motors with a top speed over 200 mph.
http://www.autotrader.com/research/article/auto-show/30052/gm-style-rocks-detroit.jsp?rdpage=ASDP+RECNT
My guess so far is the Corvette ZR-1. This article matches everything the PR has except for the price which may have been changed.
http://www.automoblog.net/2007/12/10/corvette-zr-1-can-gm-follow-up-the-z06/
That sounds like their style, surprise investors just before the end of the week, & let the momo settle in all weekend for the word to run wild till Monday when the feeding frenzy begins.
I've got my fingers crossed!
Confession from a paid basher:
(By the way this is fake, but a good read)
By Tom Martin
aka "Steve Tracy"
aka "Firebird_1965"
Today I want to come clean about something I feel very badly about. I
cannot undo some
of the things I have done, but hopefully this message will prevent
other such occurrences
in the future.
I am a paid basher.
Yes, it is true. Today is my last day at this company; I?m moving on
to a new job. But
before I go, I want to explain a few things because this just isn?t
right and I won?t feel
good about myself until I expose this sham. It?s hurt too many people
and I don?t want it
on my conscience anymore. I can no longer live with a lie.
I work for a company called Franklin, Andrews, Kramer & Edelstein in
Stamford, CT.
Basically, it?s a Boiler Room much like the one in the movie of the
same name. The
idea behind my group is to bash the price of a company?s stock down
low enough to
where the group of investors who retained our company?s services can
buy the stock
really cheap and perhaps even take it over all together.
There are approximately 70 people at the company divided into several
groups. My
group, consisting of 5 people, is responsible for BIFS. While I
probably shouldn?t give
any names of anyone working here now, what the heck, I?m leaving
here, so what can
they do ? sue me? Ha! I can tell you that GUTTWRENCH was part of my
group until he
left last week, as was Richardphx. Others who have been part of this
include early
bashers like Epiphonics and Simontaz. You may be interested to know
that some
hypsters, such as Amato7 and BIFWATCHER, have also been part of the
scam (more
on that later).
There are several companies engaged in the bashing business ? ours is
not the only
one. However, I can tell you that not every basher in here is a paid
basher. Having done
this for two years, I can usually tell who is a paid basher and who
is merely someone
having a little fun. While unpaid bashers have a different motive
than someone like me,
they can be unwilling accomplices to helping me achieve my ultimate
goal and they also
spread rumor and confusion throughout a room, which also helps me.
What is that goal? Well, I am merely a cog in a much larger machine,
so my bosses
never really explained the big picture to me, but I?d say
essentially, GUTTWRENCH was
right. There are several companies who are quite familiar with SWOMI
and who are
deathly afraid of it.
There are three types of bashers here at Franklin, Andrews, Kramer &
Edelstein:
Advanced, Intermediate and Beginner. An Advanced-level basher (also
known as a
Silver Tongued Devil) would spread false or misleading information
about the company.
They would deal in facts, countering every longs post with articles,
news reports and
opinion surveys that gave a negative impression about the company.
An Intermediate-level basher (also known as a Serpent) would try to
weasel their way
into the confidence of longs and create doubt using rumor or
innuendo.
Finally, a Beginner-level basher (also known as a Pitchfork) would
attempt to create
confusion in the room by distracting other posters with satire, name
calling and
pointless arguments. The idea was to make sure no serious discussion
of the stock
could take place. A Pitchfork was usually a basher, but not always.
Sometimes, we
would throw in a hypster Pitchfork such as Amato7 or BIFSWATCHER to
create the
illusion of an argument going on. What was really funny (in a
perverse way, I guess) was
that Amato7 and I sat next to each other, laughing the whole time.
I was a Pitchfork. I was paid a base wage of $12 an hour for my
services. I was given a
$1 bonus for every post over 100 per day as well as a monthly bonus
of $100 for every
penny the stock had dropped from the previous month. I was also paid
a bonus for
bashing on weekends. While this may not sound like much, I made a
decent, though
dishonorable, paycheck.
Each of us sat in a small half-cubicle in a cluster with our
teammates. Each group
(usually five people) was made of three beginners (two who would bash
and one who
would hype), one intermediate and one advanced level basher.
Occasionally for some
of the hotter stocks, one of the beginners would be replaced by an
intermediate
depending on how much the stock was rising. BIFS was a low-level
stock, meaning it
got the 3-1-1 configuration.
Somehow, I get the feeling that JPACK2 may have worked for a basher
company or
knows someone who does because the "Basher Handbook" he occasionally
posts is
eerily similar to the one we actually use. While not a word-for-word
match, I?d say it is
about 90 percent the same. We do have certain rules that we follow.
First, we have to develop a character and stay within that character
in order to build a
"following." My character, "Firebird_1965," was a sarcastic,
obnoxious supporter of free
speech, but only when it came to bashers.
Next, we had to follow certain guidelines on what we could say. We
were urged to have
an "answer" to every long?s question, but we were to frame that
answer in a way that
ridiculed the questioner for asking such a question. However, we were
never to use
profanity or vulgarity because that would cause people to ignore us.
We were to make
fun of people, but in a civil way. The idea was to get "play," i.e. ?
reaction from other
posters. The more play we got, the more the room would be disrupted.
Ignored posters
get no play. One exception would be the hypster ? since they
were "defending" the
stock against our onslaught, they got a little more leeway. People
would side with the
hypster because they thought he was real since he appeared to be on
their side, but
was really on ours, setting us up to disrupt the room. Padelcars is
quite good at this and
gets paid very well.
I?ve worked on BIFS, TSRG, MXII for about three months now. In
addition to the Firebird_1965 alias,
I?ve used a few others on the BIFS and several other boards as well.
I stuck with
Firebird_1965 because it was the one that got the most play from
other posters.
In closing, I feel absolutely terrible about this. It?s just awful
how I?ve been part of a scam
designed to cheat honest, hard-working people out of their
investments all for the
benefit of a few wealthy people who already have enough money to last
a lifetime.
These greedy people MUST be stopped. That?s why I?m posting this
before I leave. I
want to make up for some of the damage I?ve done. I can?t live with
this lie anymore. You
can?t imagine how hard it is to look at myself in the mirror each
morning knowing my job
is to cheat and lie.
I have to go now, I?m too broken up to continue. I hope this
confession can make up for
my sordid deeds; I would urge everyone who reads this to copy and
repost it as many
times as you can. Only by shining the light of truth can we drive
these rats back into the
darkness from whence they came. Believe me, they don?t want
publicity.
I hope all of you can forgive me and save me a seat on that Rnke
rocket to the moon. If
this helps, let me leave you with this?
GO Rnke!!
With fervent remorse,
Tom Martin
aka "Steve Tracy"

If it does I'll be buying like a mad man. I know it's coming sooner or later from my own DD.
That's some valuable DD Maronti! Glad to have you back!

Good question. I wonder what company is dropping off cars. I'm thirsty for any kind of lead!
I don't think it's fair to put Chad's reputation on the line for when the contracts are released. He is allowed to say what the CEO tells him he can say & can only pass on what he hears from the CEO or asks him. It is Peter Collorafi's word that we are trusting in & it is he who has made the 6 to 8 week timeline, not Chad.

"Creepy gnome" Terrorizes Town
found at:
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,336750,00.html
A TOWN in South America is living in fear after several sightings of a 'creepy gnome' that locals claim stalks the streets at night.
The midget - which wears a pointy hat and has a distinctive sideways walk - was caught on video last week by a terrified group of youngsters.
Teenager Jose Alvarez - who filmed the gnome - yesterday told national newspaper El Tribuno that they caught the creature while larking about in their hometown of General Guemes, in the province of Salta, Argentina.
He said: “We were chatting about our last fishing trip. It was one in the morning.
“I began to film a bit with my mobile phone while the others were chatting and joking.
"Suddenly we heard something - a weird noise as if someone was throwing stones.
"We looked to one side and saw that the grass was moving. To begin with we thought it was a dog but when we saw this gnome-like figure begin to emerge we were really afraid."
Jose added that other locals had come forward to say they had spotted the gnome.
He said: “This is no joke. We are still afraid to go out - just like everyone else in the neighbourhood now.
"One of my friends was so scared after seeing that thing that we had to take him to the hospital.”
I'm an American, but I did live in Lima Peru for a couple of years, & I did hear a lot of stories about leprechauns. One Peruvian friend there that I was close to swore up & down that he had seen one when he was a kid, around 5 or 6 years old. One of the kids in his class saw something in a tree near the window & shouted out to the rest of the class that there was a leprechaun outside. According to him, the whole class saw a short creature in the tree smiling at them & noticed them seeing him. Supposedly adults can't see them, and the teacher tried to find out what they were looking at but couldn't see anything, & thought that they were playing a joke on her so she made everyone sit down & stop looking out the window.
Now I don't believe in most of the South American superstitions, like drinking ice cold soda after exercise will make your lungs explode, or pointing a fan directly at yourself will give you "la gripe". But I did, just out of curiosity, ask other people if they believed in leprechauns, & I heard a lot of elaborate & interesting stories to say the least.
I can say that this video is much better proof then the last laugh everyone had at the leprechaun sighting from Mobile, Alabama.
Sweet. Thanks for getting the confirmation for us.

This should probably be included in the IBOX if it is still current.

Several days of low volume means one or more of these things:
- The longs are holding & not selling
- The dumping by (blank) is done
- Investors on the sidelines waiting for a contract PR
- Shareholders waiting for a contract PR
- Naked short selling if there was any before may have stopped
- MM's covering their shorts
- Enthusiasm has decreased (it can only last so long)
- or...the calm before the STORM!!!
A few days of sideways trading like this is good because it may discourage some day traders & flippers so we'll have less resistance as we go back up.
I would be more inclined to help the pps if they would keep the ask a tick above the current pps but seems MM's don't want that to happen right now.
HA! Chartman just left his post as moderator for SGLS today. I bet Shebes gets the job.
Also where it says "Contact: Chad Sykes Investor Relations 281-888-5885 Email Contact" we should add his e-mail there, I have to go look on his website everytime I need his e-mail.
LOL. There would be next to zero posts on there if it wasn't for us RVGD posters infiltrating their board. I rarely even see the moderator there. Monksdream actually would make a good moderator for it since he at least posts regularly & knows a lot more about the company & owners than most.
The SGLS ibox says "52% of shares owned by insiders" so it's possible.
I think that has been the attitude for every upcoming week, which is good, but I think there are better chances for the firework show to begin this week then anytime before.
For those who haven't seen this yet & would like to check out more about Revenge's GTO's, take a look at this site. It has pictures & comments from the GTOAA 2007 Show. Charlie Conkle, the owner of Conkle Pontiac-GMC in Kokomo, IN bought one of the Revenge Edition GTO's & this is the company that everyone called a few weeks ago to confirm that they sold Revenge Edition cars (GTO's, Sierras & Solstices). There are some good photos here if you'd like to check out the actual work that Revenge does.

It doesn't matter to me. I'm not going to try to unverify something that you haven't verified yourself. You're not going to get me riled up & fighting back & ending up on the ban list & you are entitled to your opinion, and I will leave it at that.
The longs shall prevail. EOM
Maybe the last PR is a clue to when his selling will stop:
"Signature will be distributing the entire 2.4 million shares of Preferred Stock it has held as a dividend to shareholders. During the week of March 4th, 2008, Signature will be providing shareholders with additional details on the upcoming dividend and pending x-dividend date."
Sweet, I love surprises! Especially when they involve lots of sweet moolah.
