Well, at least Stan is still alive.
http://www.deadoraliveinfo.com/dead.nsf/lnames-nf/Lee+Stan
CLETUS!!!! How ya doing pal!
I often wondered what happened to him. Brick-related impact injuries can be hard to recover from, especially when you get hit twice (once in the shoulder and once in the head).
Does he still live at the firehouse?
=^..^=
Is this a good stock?
It's a great stock! I don't think anyone has lost money trading it in the past few years.
Greetings Bobby! Good to see you here.
Yes, this is a much more civilized board.
BTW, sorry it took over 5 years to reply to your post. Time flies, doesn't it?
LOL
=^..^=
The RMEC experience was like taking a college course in penny stock scams. It introduced me to many of the basic pumper tactics that I've since seen used in dozens of pump & dump scams. I also learned that a stock's bashers---reviled by the pumpers, of course---are actually your best source of info.
Be it oil, gold, diamonds or uranium, the scams all get played pretty much the same. And if you spot one being run by a competent group of scammers you can even make money by getting in and out at the right times. Just don't get greedy.
Happy New Year!

You know, I can't recall anyone addressing the question of exactly how Wilf even fits into Copper King Mining. I mean, people on this board (and on the DPBM, too) seem to assume Wilf is running the show. But I haven't seen any PR's that state Wilf is even an officer or director of the company. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the only connection I can see is that Wilf is the contact person (employee? owner?) for Alexander Lindale L.L.C., the company that CPRK hired for promotion purposes:
Alexander Lindale L.L.C. will provide services for one year and will charge $150,000 to be paid in either stock or cash. Alexander Lindale L.L.C. retains the right to hire third-party contractors and consultants to assist in the performance of its duties. These contractors may also be paid in cash or stock of the company.
Alexander Lindale L.L.C. is a privately held Limited Liability Corporation based in Minnesota, with offices in Midvale, Utah. Alexander Lindale L.L.C. will purchase several million shares for cash and will also receive shares for services.
http://www.pinksheets.com/pink/quote/quote.jsp?symbol=CPRK
Sure sounds like Alexander Lindale (Wilf Blum) has acquired a lot of CPRK shares---and most certainly at a price well below the current level. Isn't it logical to assume he might be unloading a bunch of those shares since he can now get 5 times what he paid for them? 500% is a nice profit for a few months work! And the shares paid for services didn't even cost him anything! Pure profit!
Now, for all I know Wilf hasn't sold a single share. But to say it's not fair to point fingers at him and then turn around and point fingers at the "old crew"...well, THAT doesn't seem fair either. In fact, it seems more like a diversion...
That's pretty much standard behaviour on any of these penny stock boards. Actually, in my opinion, this board has been fairly mild in that regard.
Guess someone here is just a tad bit "biased" towards the sister in law...oops! I mean sister.
don't you think?
The odds that Sandra Nether is throwing good money out the window by driving the share price down through dumping seems rather slim to me.
On the other hand, there seem to be a lot of people (on several boards) who see this sort of dumping into good news as being standard operating procedure for Wilf Blum.
It seems to me you're just a "tad bit biased" toward the former IBCD folks.
Here's a good site to check if Stan is still alive.
http://www.deadoraliveinfo.com/dead.nsf/lnames-nf/Lee+Stan
Well, it certainly sounds like great and huge news but the truth is we don't know enough details about the merger deal to even make an educated guess at this point.
Apparently a lot of potential investors are sitting on the sidelines until they know for sure just what CPRK paid for Western Utah Copper Company. JMHO
Yeah, there sure were a lot of nice people on that board, weren't
there? (Even if it was on that other stock board---the one that uses the angry male cow as its symbol.) A few I recognize here on iHub. There's probably a lot more but they're likely using different aliases.
I wonder if sailbad posts on iHub? He had RMEC pegged from day #1 but so few believed him. Alas, the burden of being a basher. LOL
=^..^=
Excellsior!!!

As a matter of fact my attorney will be contacting you shortly regarding the copyright infringement suit.
Legally they are two parts of the same same company at this point in time. The International Broadcasting Company changed its name to Copper King Mining when it obtained the copper mining claims, rights or whatever. It's now a company that has both a radio show and copper mining stuff. Obviously the emphasis is now on copper mining which is why they are spinning off the broadcasting part of it. The legal problems date back to some false PR's issued by a rogue employee who just happened to be the company CEO at the time. The other employees knew nothing of this and were not at all involved and the SEC acknowledges this by having brought zero charges against them.
I agree he's no Picasso but then neither was Gene Roddenberry and most of the Star Trek empire came about after his death.
Plus, the two series "Earth: Final Conflict" and "Andromeda" were based on some of Roddenberry's undeveloped ideas and concepts. I'm sure his estate benefited financially, as will POWN when they sell or license stuff that others will completely rework but still promote as "based on an original concept of Stan Lee".
Isnt Stan Lee what makes this co. interesting ?....
Of course, but that applies whether he's alive or dead. I just don't think his personal priority is making money---he has enough right now to last him a lifetime (well, HIS lifetime, at least). He's basically enjoying his "retirement" by attending conventions, getting cameos in Spiderman movies, hosting "Who Wants To Be A Superhero?", etc. And if POWN isn't showing any major revenue coming in then the share price will continue to drop.
But once he passes into the great comic book in the sky, then the file cabinets full of ideas, characters, concepts, etc. that he leaves behind will become more valuable simply because "there ain't no more where that came from". The remaining management will then actively market these assets because I bet they ARE interested in making money. That will cause the share price to go up and benefit all the shareholders.
=^..^=
You know, Stan is so old and has more than enough money from other sources that he probably couldn't care less about POWN. Maybe the other POWN insiders are just waiting for Stan to kick the bucket so they can market the limited supply of original Stan Lee ideas and concepts at a premium. After all, an artist's paintings usually go up in value after they are dead, right? Just a thought...
Excellent post! And excellent advice, imo.
I wonder whatever happened to Bozelle.
He was the lead pumper for RMEC over on Raging Bull. What a circus THAT board was! But lots of fun, too.
Well, until RMEC went belly up with a bunch of my cash in its gut! It was my first experience with a stock scam, and an expensive lesson it was, too!
This is close to being the 2nd highest volume day in the past year.
Just for the record, I never meant to imply the SEC was making a case against Copper King as it exists now. But they were making a case against a specific corporate entity which used to be IBCD and is now CPRK. That's how the SEC even looks at it in their filing of the complaint:
This matter involves a fraud perpetrated by International Broadcasting Corporation, now known as Copper King Mining Corporation (“International Broadcasting”). As part of the fraud, International Broadcasting, through its former Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) Daryn P. Fleming (“Fleming”), issued false press releases about its business operations.
But, the fraud was perpetrated by Daryn long before Copper King came to exist and that's why the case against the company formerly known as IBCD is settled and done with. Copper King is clean. Daryn, however, is in a mountain of poop.
The SEC also announced that it has filed a settled civil injunctive action against International Broadcasting Corporation, in which the company consented to the entry of a permanent injunction from violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder.
The jury trial is for the charges against Daryn personally. That hasn't been settled yet from what I can tell. The case against the company (IBCD/CPRK) is over and done. Basically they just promised never to do anything bad ever again.
the SEC case against IBCD/CPRK is settled and done....they gave CPRK just a gentle slap on the wrist....the SEC knows it was Daryn who did the fraud and it's his head they are after...
Congrats to whoever, a few weeks back, got rid of Daryn Fleming (a.k.a OptionsKing) as an assistant mod on this board. I never could figure out why he became one in the first place...
The selling could be because the SEC is charging the company and its former CEO, Daryn Fleming, with fraud:
U.S. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
Litigation Release No. 20442 / January 28, 2008
Securities and Exchange Commission v. Daryn P. Fleming and Mathew C. Bruce, CV-08-029-FVS (E.D. Wa.)
Securities and Exchange Commission v. International Broadcasting Corporation, CV-08-029-FVS (E.D. Wa.)
The Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") announced that on January 23, 2008, it filed a civil injunctive action in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Washington against the former CEO of International Broadcasting Corporation, Daryn P. Fleming, ("Fleming") and an agent of the company, Mathew C. Bruce ("Bruce"), alleging that Fleming and Bruce violated the antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws. The SEC also announced that it has filed a settled civil injunctive action against International Broadcasting Corporation, in which the company consented to the entry of a permanent injunction from violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder.
The SEC has alleged that as part of the scheme, International Broadcasting, through Fleming, issued false press releases about its business operations including nonexistent broadcast affiliations with various radio stations. The SEC has also alleged that when Bruce and Fleming were later questioned by investors about these supposed affiliations, they made public misrepresentations live on an International Broadcasting internet radio show to conceal the fact that the original press releases were false.

Wow, I never realized iHub had a RMEC board.
This stock sure brings back a lot of memories for me.
Sigh...
...I only wish they were GOOD memories! Hahahaha!
=^..^=
how many people work for this company?
None, apparently.
Of course, how many employees there are is another question entirely.
CPRK chart sure is looking good. A little healthy pullback over the past few days but the up trend remains intact.
And congrats to all those StockTalkLive people who were buying this when it was subpenny! What a great return!

Just a guess, but it was probably a cancelled trade. Maybe a MM typed in 35,000 when he meant 3,500. Trades get busted all the time...
The good news is we're up 127% on above average volume!
The bad news is it only took one 3000 share trade to do it. LOL
Oh well, back to sleep.....
Hey, I wonder if they'll have any collector's value?
Like cans of Billy Beer....
Wow...PWI up over 32%!
And to think I was excited because PGH is up 3.4%! LOL
Of course he has a big ego....
....he just won the USGA Sr. Amateur tournament!

The ex-date was Aug. 29th so as long as you owned shares at the close of market on the 28th you are entitled to the dividend. If you sold your shares before the close of market on Aug. 28th, or if you didn't buy until Aug. 29th, then you don't get the dividend.
Officially they say the dividend is paid to holders of record on Aug. 31th, but that's just another way of saying if you bought on the 28th it takes 3 days for the trade to settle. A purchase on the 29th---the ex-date---wouldn't settle until a day after the 31th, hence no dividend.
The key point is that one needs to own the stock at market close the day before the ex-date. In fact, you could have bought AAV at 3:45pm on the 28th and sold it at 9:15am on the 29th and you would still get the dividend.
ValCom, Inc. (VACM) (Frankfurt XETRA:VAM), a Las Vegas based entertainment production company, along with entertainment giants, Stan Lee's POW! Entertainment (OTC:POWN) and entertainment industry producer Jeff Franklin announced the second of three upcoming films, a Stan Lee Sci-Fi picture entitled "The Harpy" written by DeClan O'Brien and directed by Josh Becker.
ValCom was the company that produced "Harpies"? No wonder they are in bankruptcy! LOL
(BTW, this is not a bash of Stan by any means. The problem with that movie wasn't the basic concept or even the script-----it was the cheap production values that were probably the worst I've ever seen.)
This ValCom deal just doesn't make sense to me. Why would POWN sell ValCom 51% (a majority position!?!) for $276K? Doesn't that instantly cut POWN's value in half? POWN's product is the revenue from Stan's creations---and now Stan only owns a percentage of the remaining 49% of that revenue! Did he really need his share of that $276K that badly? Is he hard up for cash or what? Something just isn't right here. I'm beginning to wonder if Stan isn't just clueless as to the business end of things and is being ripped off by a bunch of slick pennystock operators.
Of course, POWN might be disputing everything that ValCom says. We need to see a PR from POWN.
