Lol. I broke the golden rule: NEVER buy a new model the first year of its existence…… back then, anyway.
Here’s a little metaphor for you. See if you can follow along: In 1970, I bought a brand new, 1970 Dodge Challenger. From day one, it proved itself to be a POS. I would tell anyone interested that they should think twice about buying one. Was I manipulating Chrysler Corp because my purchase, which was done in good faith, turned out to be not what I expected?
You been drinking? Ferchrissake, make some sense.
Well hell, why not go all the way back ……. Not just enough to try to prove a point. I guess I could go to Schwab to ascertain exact purchase dates but, to what end? To proving something to YOU? As your brethren are so very fond of saying; LMFAO
Wouldn’t call it pumping, Johnny. The pumping I was referring to was the full-court press taking place here and other venues. The company’s messages of optimism have been, basically the same for, well, before it became DC. Further, had you been in this thing from back then, you’d know of which I speak.
Even a blind man could see that, given the massive pumping taking place, throwing money at a triple-aught stock could have decent returns. That money was on the pumpers, NOT this poor excuse of a company. If it gets back down that low again, I’ll give it another flyer. Can you possibly grasp what I’m saying or are you just intent on ………. Well, exactly what are you intent on?
Whoo wee. Another self-important sycophant on the attack. How do YOU like the “basher” role, Skippy? You get out of your NAMBLA meeting early and have some extra time on your hands?
Listen, Scooter. My last answer to your inane questioning was prefaced by I didn’t really remember. Honestly, to go back that far to try to discredit someone really does indicate a personality disorder.
Maybe some ‘adults’ among us are beginning to take a hard look at themselves.
The truth? I simply cannot remember but it had to be 4 or 5 years ago. My first foray with the Linda experience came, roughly, 18 years ago when the company was RTGV. Bought 2000 shares at $2.00 per. Then came the promises from Ms Harvard as to why the pps was slipping dangerously and the 100/1 reverse split, followed several years later by the 1000/1 reverse split. Obviously, my 4g’s were rendered worthless. So, I don’t give a rat’s ass if you believe me or not but I DID owe you something for the honor of being added to the basher list.
Actually, it’s none of your business, but yes, I dumped about 4 million shares that were purchased at .0003 and sold at .03. I also saved an extra mill to keep in the hunt. Why do you ask, oh pumper extraordinaire?
Gasp! I made the noradio "basher list". I don't know what to say --- but I'll try: I want to thank Linda for her steadfast refusal to produce one single farthing for the starving masses and, also, the promise of upgrading to 'Q' status with no results. Also to be credited to Linda are such memorable terms and sayings such as; "I'm jazzed", "Cadre of Investors", "Disruptor", and so many, many more. I want to thank L*P for having the class to stay the hell out of this absolute lunacy once called 'I-Hub'. Say what you like about L*P, he pumped this thing as hard as he could without denigrating himself by casting shade on fellow investors, pro OR CON. I wish to thank Johnnydollar for his absolutely Pavlovian responses to just about every post by any perceived 'Basher'. You remind me of that little cartoon mutt in the Bugs Bunny cartoon that followed the big dog (Spike) around, yapping and kissing his ass. And, who could forget Poo? Poo with her daily adroit sermonettes intended to denigrate and embarrass? One might refer to said utterances as 'Poo - poo poo'. You GO, Poo! Oh, I see my time's up, and I had so many others to thank. Rock on, Raging Bull, errr, I-Hub.
Huzzah! Right on!
About the only good I'm seeing with these new rules is the opportunity to post info that wouldn't have made the 'cut' prior to said rules. Volunteered for Vietnam duty in '65. Navy sent me elsewhere. Thank you for your service and best of luck with dbmm, regardless of any bull/bear status.
Ginger, please ...... As a self professed honest person, you have got to admit that there are ALWAYS two sides to everything. The "bashers" work no harder than those that "bash" the bashers. I would be willing to wager that you can choose any company you wish -- go to their ihub page and see if there aren't two sides to the conversations. This is not a perfect little group sitting around a campfire, smoking doobs and singing kumbaya (sp?). But, you know what? Most, if not all of the negativity would go away on its own were the company to produce. Yes, they have their vaunted '10 wins' to look back upon. Had they acted like an honest-to-God company to begin with, they would have never gotten themselves into that pickle.
In the overall scheme of things, so-called bashers who are criticizing the COMPANY are no less egregious than those bashing other PEOPLE!
Your quote: Unfortunate to not move on if unhappy,. Just wanted to get my .02 cents worth prior to the statute of limitations expiring. Staying tunes, as it were.
SHAREHOLDERS KNOW: The number one thing that shareholders know is that they bought into this thing and would dearly love to get out with more money than they went in with --- period. All this tongue-wagging about "due diligence" is all well-and-good, but does DD really enter into the decision to buy into this company? TRUE DD would delve back many years to when the company was RTGV (with Linda at the helm) with the pps at $2 per share and a miniscule float. That didn't last long, however, and pps skidded down to triple-aught territory. It was brought back up again after a 100/1 RS which was "necessary", per Linda, in order to raise the pps to a more desirable level and for "acquisition" purposes. Quite frankly, I'm not absolutely certain as to the timeline, but suffice it to say, DC was acquired (I'll bet those employees were thrilled), another, more significant RS (1000/1) took place, triple-aught PPS was revisited and blah, blah, blah.
Linda is an excellent talker. A few of us here can remember back when there were regular Conference Calls wherein we could hear, from the horse's mouth, how great things were and to just hang in there. Linda was the Emcee of those little fireside chats and had everyone believing the company was on the cusp of great things due to --- as she described it --- a "Disruptor" that was going to take the industry by a storm. No description of this panacea and its capabilities was ever put forth. BUT, Linda, in her own words, was "Jazzed" about the future. That "future" was filled with ----- NOTHING. Absolute jack shit! The mysterious Disruptor was instrumental in disrupting investors' wallets but that was about all.
Over the years, several groups tried to pump up the pps with mixed results. A move from negative triple-aught to negative double-aught was considered huge. Call those temporary rises what they were -- Pump and Dumps. Pure and simple. The latest, however, showed some actual promise when the pps managed to climb out of the negative triple-aught territory all the way to $.04. A HUGE increase with HUGE cause for optimism. But, as with the past two decades, the catalyst for a sustained drive to respectability is stuttering and sliding once again. Why might that be? At some point in time, this company (cough cough) is going to have to stand up for themselves and DELIVER.
"Nuff said. All IMO. Hi Linda. When's the next Conference Call?
Tsk tsk! "The Nevers are never right". Might that be just another dreaded "opinion with no facts" to back it up? And, before you list DBMM's 10 greatest hits as proof, perhaps links to verify said statement might be in order? Oh, and if I may --- 10 wins in 20 years is still pretty bleak. Shareholders DO know, they just ain't sayin'.
Hell, They've been "emerging" for two decades. The conference should be named after them.
Isn't "opinion after opinion" one of the main reasons for the board to begin with? One might prefer a 'Stepford Wives' approach but that's totally unlikely. Casting shade on each other as well as the company is, for the most part, totally childish.
Accurate. Applies to both sides of the equation, of course.
Googling 'Linda Perry' produces nothing cogent other than a rock singer. I would think that anyone here with 'LinkedIn' (sp?) might have better luck.
I do believe the author's tongue was firmly planted in his cheek when that line was written.
Seems to be a bit of a 'bounder', say what?
Yes. You are correct there is always that chance. Making an entire campaign out of the possible happenstance is looking more foolhardy every day.
Gasp! It's NEVER been this low before. Oh.....wait.
History would dictate you are correct.
Still accepting links to all the “never” statements purportedly being bandied about while, meantime, dbmm’s quiescent self sinks lower.
Did you happen to notice the ‘JMHO’ in my post? Speaking about tedious processes, over 2 decades without making a nickel is about as tedious as it gets. AND, the question still remains; Why did they/she seemingly give up instead of “ fighting” as Linda is reportedly so fond of doing?
Zackly! Hell, if their Q's and K's shown growth, not matter how slight, the SEC might have responded positively and dropped the CE even earlier. JMHO. Stagnation has been the company's MO for a loooooooong time.
Quoting the bulletin: "Those that trumpeted its end over the last few years and in most cases, with little or no business acumen themselves, shouted its demise and never acknowledged its victories." Nice SHOT, Linda! Back to your old form.
Done and done.
Agreed! DBMM is like the car wreck that no one can resist watching or talking about.
Were it not for the dissenting opinions, what are the chances that the robust posting numbers being as high as they are? For the most part, those not 'bullish' on the company's chances have formed their opinions predicated upon experiences with the outfit. Have you never found yourself on the opposite side of a popular topic? Like it or not, the 'bears' help put the company on the radar.
I think the original post was kinda good.
Tell that guy from Asia that Linda has always frowned upon 'flipping'. She has roundly criticized the practice in the past as not permitting the company to grow. Unfortunately, with the NSS situation rapidly becoming a myth, flipping would appear to be the way to go. IMO, of course.
