What's next, grilling with magnifying glasses?
It showed itself to be more of a fire hazard than a cooking device.
Reminds me of the problem with some newer energy efficient windows.
So basically the orb is a fire hazard if the focus gets put out? They didn't even actually cook any food and anything that was put in the beam would have been terrible.
People are already having their siding melt from people getting energy efficient windows that reflect much of the light.

Their website has to put "forward looking statements" disclaimer at the bottom.
Real companies that actually operate don't need forward looking statement disclaimers.
Are you claiming SMAA is hiding assets/capital from shareholders and the public and not reporting them as they are legally obligated?
I don't have it anymore, but I am a former employee of SMAA and I doubt the layers have changed very much since I worked here.
They are scammers.
So you are saying they are purposely making themselves look broke?
Have you ever heard of occam's razor?
Where/What is this source of revenue for them?
Their finances are released in the quarter report. It's public knowledge that they are broke.
Raw lemon has been on the market for years already. It's not new.
I didn't notice anything SMAA claims to be working on in that article. Is there anything that ties that information to SMAA other than SMAA putting out press releases claiming to be in the industry?
As we found out with all the "billion dollar gaming industry" articles posted last summer, it's much easier to claim to be a part of an industry than to actually do business in it.
What are they going to present? Those water balls that have already been on the market for years and are ridiculously overpriced?
The windstax thing looks nice, but they are just trying to buy a minority ownership in it, which months later has yet to be announced. Not sure what money they have to offer, which means the only thing they could be paying with are stocks to dump off.
Of course, that would likely mean the people at Windstax are in the need of cash. Must not be much being offered to them if they take stock from here as payment.
Probably not a good sign when your website has to put a forward looking statement disclaimer at the bottom.
Maybe invest in a company that doesn't have a history of screwing people over?
Tony was still a part of SMAA in 2014, so I'm not sure what you are talking about.
If they are so different, why do you keep trying to claim the company doesn't have a million dollar judgement against it?
If they took over a company and didn't know about a case on the books and didn't do anything to find out the status of the case, or do anything to remedy the situation, then exactly what are they doing in their positions?
How does anyone not know there is a million dollar lawsuit in court?
So basically the high volume has been them paying themselves off with shares? Or are they in the process of doing so?
I don't fully understand it, but that is what it seems like to me. If someone could clear that up, it would be great.
The company creation part I don't put much into. It's not hard to create company names, actually putting something into them is another story.
Sarah couldn't write a hello world script in any language.
The closest she came to developing anything is giving a design/page from a WYSIWYG editor and giving them to someone else to write actual code.
What she gave was basically a wish list to developers and they make it happen.
which account do you have L2 on?
where do you get them as a new bidder?
he said you called him.
/shrug
I think "willful negligence" is a rather kind way to put it.
It was not a friendly talk.
He is talking to Tony. I was told so by Tony a few weeks ago. His name is Dan.
That would be Josh, and that's funny because when I first started working for them he was usually the guy giving me the work to do. But I was told in Feb of 2013 that he had been let go after they failed to make payroll the first time.
It was the reason I agreed to keep working. As I already had been doing this same work alone for years.
I spent the first 3 months completing projects and giving Tony and Sarah backend admins so they actually had control over things. Their systems were so bad when I arrived they didn't have basic admin functions and they had to have developers go in and edit the database manually in order to do things.
Not that it mattered because what they were doing was illegal and craigslist put an end to it.
And btw, there are no "separate companies" here. Same company with 2 tickers. Tony runs the show and the people listed answered to him. If they want to put it as me working for DEAC, I don't care - same people, same company. Their problem is, there is no DEAC when I first start working for them, it was only a future plan. I didn't quit working for them until the DEAC stock actually launched.
I was hired initially for SMAA in October of 2012 and was told then that I would start out working for SMAA, but everything would be transferred over to DEAC once that stock went live.
I have no idea where you are getting your information, but it's not even close to correct considering the last project I worked on was only 2 months into it - and it was 90% finished at that point. I was waiting on a design from Sarah was all I had left really, but they never made payroll on it or gave me the design they wanted - because they flaked out again.
However, I'm not sure what IT person you could be speaking of since I was told all the other programmers were let go in Feb of 2013 after the first time they missed payroll. It was the only reason I stayed on. The only person I knew of that had any IT experience and was still around was a guy named Tommy, but I have no idea where he lived and never worked with him directly.
Your claims are even more odd since I worked at a much faster speed than the others. I remember they gave me a "test project" when I was being hired, they thought it would take me a week. I finished it in less than an hour. Because I had already done the work in the past and it's the kind of stuff I could do in my sleep.
I came into SMAA with experience in the auto industry. I'd already built an auto lead system that did millions in revenue and lived in the Silicon Valley for 8 years during that time. I've helped develop industry standards for sending leads. Meanwhile, Tony and Sarah couldn't even get in the door with companies that I've had many lunches with over the years.
You'll have to try harder if you want to pretend as though I was the problem at SMAA. There is a reason it only took me about 3 days to find more employment after I quit. I'm real good at what I do and I can do everything(and have for 16 years).
I worked for them on the auto stuff in 2013 and I can tell you that from October of 2012 they never planned on keeping that stuff with SMAA. All the assets were moved over to DEAC and DEAC was introduced at $3 a share(it's now at like .005 or so).
What they were doing in 2012 was also illegal and against the TCPA(Telephone Consumer Protection Act).
I was to build a real company in 2013. I have over 10 years experience in the auto industry and have already created a system that was doing millions a year(that company still makes money, but at much less revenue these days, only 5 figures a month now).
But the owners were flaky and couldn't keep up payroll and I ended up quitting and with that - they had nobody to do auto stuff. They blamed me for not having a broker account setup so I could sell off shares for money and ripping people off.
But they never had any intention at doing anything auto related with SMAA. The majority stock holders live off selling this stock on the hype.
No, I am waiting to see a real product with real revenue being generated. What the stock does in either direction doesn't affect me, I want to get paid in money.
In the meantime everything I post regarding the company and what I know is the truth from either personal experience or checking out what is said. It doesn't take inside knowledge to look into those solar balls and see that they have been on the market for years and have gone no where.
Right now the truth is the only thing interesting about the recent news is Kit's connection with that energy thing and the Wyoming base(they have huge winds in Wyoming).
What I have to wonder is why some people are so upset about those who post the truth about the company. Upset because it prevents the price from artificially rising so you can sell your shares for a profit?
No, I build real companies/systems and don't make my living screwing people over.
If I had known the deal with SMAA in 2013, do you think I would have worked for a company I knew would screw me over and had a history of screwing people over?
There were lots of people they didn't pay. In Feb of 2013 they just completely disappeared for a month and didn't make payroll. Finally they paid that, but were a month late. I agreed to stay on because they said they were restructuring and I'd be the only programmer(so I figured they would be able to pay) and then a few months later it was the same thing again.
They are extremely flaky. So a lawyer not getting paid either wouldn't be a surprise at all.
SMAA was pretty intimidating when their 2nd attorney quit mid-lawsuit because he wasn't getting paid.
$SMAA owes me $6500 from salary after they didn't pay my salary and I ended up working for free. I had to take out loans to pay my bills after being told by them day after day I would be paid the next day. I couldn't pay my rent, had to move, got stuck with a car payment from when it was paid off prior.
Lucky for me I'm pretty good at what I do and it only took me 3 days to get another job, but going nearly 2 months without pay screwed me over hardcore. It took me a year to recover and pay my car back off.
Additionally they technically owe me $150k in DEAC stock, but that was just bonus really and it's the $6500 I want from them.
And I'm not alone in being screwed over by these people. At least you were investing and didn't have a family to feed with the money you have lost here.
I'll never get that money unless they ever generate an actual product. Unless I want to accept stock that is worthless and try to convince people like you that this stock is going somewhere when I know full and well that I don't. In other words, I can only recover my losses by screwing other people over.
I'd trade you situations in a heartbeat. I'd guess just in financial damages I'm looking at around 10k, and that's not counting the hit on my credit report for electric bill I couldn't pay.
Btw, when in 2013 did you invest? I worked for them in 2013. They weren't even caring about this stock as far as I know, they were moving all their assets over to their other stock in 2013.
It's a withdrawal of this statement:
http://www.otcmarkets.com/edgar/GetFilingHtml?FilingID=10929250
As best I can tell, they had a deal for someone to buy 5,000,000 shares, but that's being undone. I honestly don't understand it beyond that.
I've never seen that before, going to look into it.
The lawsuit has been on the SMAA books/filings for years.
No clue what you are talking about.
Can you name any of the contracts they have for these installations?
If that were to actually happen, I think it would be something everyone here would be happy about. As far as I can tell, it's just hype and promises that they will never make good on.
the Company acts as a distributor of certain green energy solutions for implementation of commercial, government, and military installation contracts.
How much of that is from these bulky overpriced balls from rawlemon?
Sorry, it's a common myth you are falling for.
http://www.investors.com/how-to-invest/investors-corner/averaging-down-is-a-weak-strategy/
Your 2nd buy might be a better trade, but there is no reason to "average down" or stay in the same stock. Each trade should be made individually based on it's own merit.
I'm not sure what you are talking about to be honest.
I only try to warn people that it's a shell company.
Averaging down is silly.
It's nothing more than a way you can try to tell yourself you didn't make a bad investment the first time. I'm not even a big time investor and I know better than that.
Anyone who bought the hype at .0015 and .002 is down about 50% on their investment today.
They better release some news soon, I don't think however is buying those last minute shares everyday to make the stock seem to not lose as much is going to be able to do so forever.
SMAA gains and loses all the time. What it doesn't do is put out an actual product or generate any real revenue.
It goes up on "forward looking statements". Grats on the hype, but as you all claim to never sell and that you are constantly buying, who exactly has made money?
Something doesn't add up. If you made money here, then you've been selling while claiming this thing was still going to go up.
