Boss, what I meant by expensive was, the company that bought/owns that precious ad time during the super bowl knows full well they are basically letting another company piggy back on the time they spent millions to buy, and are not just going to let them jump in for as little as a year of free service. I'm sure there would have to be some major coin or other considerations changing hands as well. I doubt that throwing in GOIG shares will do the job so I would strike that option out.
I do agree with your response as far as it being cheap to actually add to the commercial itself, I'm just talking about what it would take for a company to actually agree to it.
JMHO of course...it would be nice if it happened, but I'm not holding my breath...
Thanks...
A green day is nice, but we need more green days than red days before most of us can start to get happy about it again...
GLTA, I do hope it happens eventually...
Sounds really great, but definitely very complicated. Not only would companies paying that much be very wary of taking such a chance with their precious ad time, it would also be extremely expensive. I am sure that it would cost a LOT more than just a year of free service. Still a great idea, still worth exploring, but very, very complicated. Not something I see Ike pulling off, considering what we've seen of his capabilities so far...
Trying to hang on here but my faith is shaken big time...holding out for a hail mary of some real, solid news or numbers instead of just talk, rumor, and speculation...
GLTA...
Pretty sad when we have to celebrate NOT closing red!!!!
But, oh so true...
Good, then Ike can spend $3M of Fu's money on one super bowl commercial, and the other $2M probably cover the expenses of trying to get Fu's money to begin with...as Staples would say, "That was easy!"
How about a single quick spot during the Super Bowl? Too expensive? Better than blowing all our money chasing LOIs that will probably never happen and only dilute if they did...
Way back to a certain snow plow? Which by the way, hangs from the ceiling in the Patriots Hall of Fame at Patriots place...
Yoyo, you had me until the Pats comments! GO PATRIOTS, who are doing a hell of a lot better than GOIG so far this year!!!
What I meant was, it's the only solid, concrete data we have to look at and evaluate. Everything else is just rumor, suggestion, hope, talk, gossip, etc which all sounds good but is nothing more than talk.
Still holding what I have, JMHO, GLTA!
It's all good. I appreciate your response, and again, your energy and optimism.
I like the saying "Don't believe half what you hear, and doubt the other half!". The company is doing this, the company is doing that, etc. Making strides, big things coming down the pipe. Brendan pops in every now & then and drops a few hints. You hear the audio updates. It all sounds good, but none of it is concrete. The PPS is concrete, public for all to see. As far as proof admissable in a court of law, the PPS is all we have as real, solid evidence. And it just drops, drops, drops. I certainly do not expect a monster climb like we all saw earlier in the year, let's throw that out and call it an anomaly. I certainly do expect some red days. But with all this talk and suggestion of what the company is doing, how amazing it sounds to everyone, the word spreading through facebook, twitter, etc we should be seeing a very slow, steady climb, or at worst some kind of stabilization with minor fluctation. Of course, we have neither, it just goes down. And that is extremely discouraging even for the most hardened investors among us. But hey, I hope something does happen that triggers a permanent, resolved clmb upwards.
By the way, someone suggested some time ago that people come to this board to read our posts and decide whether to buy a stock or not, and that if we're not hyper-positive in every email, it may discourage buyers. Not sure I believe that at all. My belief is that this board is a place for fellow investors can rant, rave, toss ideas around, vent, share ideas & thoughts, etc. So if by some chance someone new reads my post here and wonders because of it, my suggestion is to keep an eye on GOIG, do your DD, and decide. All hearsay suggests this may go somewhere at some point, but the PPS does not.
JMHO, thanks, and GLTA!
No offense friend, but you haven't been around as long as us. Enjoy the optimism while you can still maintain it! I applaud you for your energy, I think a lot of us felt as strongly a while back. But we wore out, and you will too. I refuse to buy more, but I'm not selling what I have either.
I for one am still long on GOIG, and "hoping" it eventually climbs out, but down, down, down gets to you after a while. The overall trend has been down for a long time now. The occasional green day is nice, and it's funny to watch some people go crazy over it, of course they forget that a 10% green day doesn't replace the 10 straight 5-10% down days that came before it. It's also funny when "bigsky" comes on here, redefines "vague" in what little he says, and it gets some newer people all giddy like Moses just spoke. I do appreciate his inputs, but really, vague input may as well be no input because all it does is get everyone spinning in a hundred directions.
Not being pessimistic, just being realistic...
JMHO and GLTA...
I disagree!! Just because we are concerned about the PPS does NOT necessarily make us daytraders at all. If it was stable, or climbing very slowly that would be fine. But the continuous down, down, down, is very disconcerting. We can talk all we like about the future, the constant drop is very faith-shaking, and rightfully so...
I am still long on GOIG and hope it pays off, but not very happy about it right now.
JMHO and GLTA...
Stable?!?! LOL Nice one!!!!
Yes, but don't hold your breath waiting on any financials! If you've been here a while you've become accustomed to a lot of waiting and guessing on any kind of good, concrete info like that, and it never comes.
Yeah, I'm bitter. Still holding LONG, but no longer drinking the "everything is great no matter what and don't tell me any differently" kool-aid. Only a good, solid PPS rise back into pennies and beyond will convince me that things are going well.
Sorry guys...GLT us all though!
SteveSox
For real!
I am still long, and therefore deserve the right to be grumpy about it. Ask me again when we're back into pennies...
GLTA...
Why, why why?????
Well I for one happen to agree. Uplisting would solve most of the problems of MM manipulation. If it's financial support in the form of stockholders that Ike needs, then we need to see some stability in the PPS. Uplisting goes a long way towards that. I am a full supporter of GOIG (and shareholder), but I'm not drinking the kool-aid and saying that everything is rosy. I am realistic. This thing is all over the map and needs some help...
GLTA...
I know, have to try though.
Shareholders are entitled to answers, but they don't think so. They only let us know what they want us to know and nothing more.
Dammit.
GLTA...
How many of these are being paid in CASH vs how many are doing the stock arrangement?

Thanks and GLTA...
Is it more or less the kiss of death if a big name national company which is already established and has a LOT more money and a national audience such as ComCast starts it's own "GO800"? I'm sure to some extent there is a "who can do it better" factor but wouldn't that favor the big company?
I'm just sayin...I find the suggestion that comcast is now doing this a bit unsettling. Hope it's not true or that they are doing something similar but in another direction....

Additional Information
Well, everyone is entitled to their opinion, and you know what they say about opinions! All I ever ask is that if/when someone makes claims that this happened, that happened, news, good or bad, etc, that they just back it up with something like a link.
Some days I hate GOIG, some days I love GOIG. Lately it has been mostly hate and deservedly so. The occasional big up day does not replace the many, many down days before and after it. But as long as I own shares I feel free to speak my mind!
Also, someone suggested this board was supposed to be nothing but a koombaya love fest to entice new investors. I thought this board is supposed to be an open forum for investors to rant, rave, vent, celebrate, cry, whine, roar, etc. I'm in the military, 20 years as of 10/8 to ensure freedoms such as free speech. So by dammit folks, speak your mind better or worse! (Just back it up and be ready for someone to counter you on it!)
Thanks and GLTA...
Now THAT would be awesome, even more so if true!
GLTA GOIG LONGS
Steve
Good enough for me, thanks dreammaker 56!
Can't exactly say I trust everything Ike says, but in a landscape of people just spouting out all kinds of claims, both good ones and bads ones and usually for ulterior motives, it's always good to have things backed up somehow. I do hope this statement he makes is true, and has grown since then.
By the way, anyone notice that Thursday morning the day started with "CFO Arrested!" and we gained 50%, now today not much news and we're going down again. I admit I was half tempted to start the day by posting "CEO Arrested!" thought maybe we'd have a 100% day after that lol.
Thanks and GLTA,
Steve
No offense, would like to believe it, but unless it is verifiable from a neutral source like a reputable website, one has to consider it false.
Don't believe half of what you read/see/hear, and doubt/question the other half!
GLTA...
Either way...Yahoo still needs to compete with Google, and finding various opportunities like this may help...
The idea is that a company like Yahoo might BUYOUT GOIP, which would probably be a good thing for all of us, depending on the offer...
Please back this up with a link:
"according to IKE we actually have passed his 100k/month goal."
I too, keep reaching for reasons to believe, but it's getting really tough. Until recently, I have been as positive about it as anyone else, but it's just starting to look worse and worse. The PPS being down so much obviously gives way for all of us to want to believe and hope even more, almost like if we believe hard enough than our money will magically come back. It's like we're some kind of cult; just drink the koolade and keep wishing and hoping that something happens. The company is doing this, the company is doing that, yet time and time again the PPS drops, lower and lower. We get excited about a rare 5-10% green day, overlooking that we just had a week of 10-12% down days preceding it. In my office we had a half dozen of us invested. I'm the only one left and now it's a daily joke how my GOIG is doing. I used to fire back with vim and vigor, but I just don't have the energy to defend it anymore.
I don't blame the company entirely for the wild PPS movements because it does seem they are doing some good things, but whatever the reasons are, performance is the only thing that counts, and this PPS has performed horribly since peaking in the spring.
Oh, I am still "all in" simply because what I am down to is not worth bothering to sell. I might take the "hiatus" from board reading and stock following that another GOIG investor recently proclaimed on this board. Probably a good idea though it would be hard not to peek in. This was my first penny stock. I have a few others but none I really believed in as much as this one. I don't plan on getting into any more. The idea of being able to buy hundreds of thousands or millions of shares and getting in on the ground floor was really appealing. I plan to focus more on Wal-Mart, NetFlix, GE, etc good ole favorites that rarely let you down!
Sorry, not trying to be so negative, just very frustrated. As I said I'm not selling, but I'm not happy either. And with each passing day, I am losing faith more and more. A green day isn't going to turn it around for me, I need to see a solid pattern of green days with an overall upward climb pattern. Until then, I am skeptical...
Sorry, thanks, and genuinely GLTA!
SteveSox
OMG, I cannot believe that, WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hear ya, just wishing.....
GLTA...
What about dilution? I just want to know, in case I missed it, was it dilution yesterday or not?
I am staunch GOIG supporter, investor, many shares, long on those shares, and trying to stay patient and understanding....but....
There was a ton of volume, far more buys than sells...why did the PPS drop so much???
I read posts from many wise folks who said that the only possible explanantion could be dilution by the company. Is that the case?
Thanks...
By the way, I also appreciated Brendan's post but I reluctantly have to agree it was a good pep talk but not much in the way of concrete information or answers. You have to expect that out of a good PR guy though so I don't fault him for that.
GLTA GOIG LONGS, hoping that better days are ahead...
Probably because it's Ike that CAUSED this crash today...
GLTA GOIG LONGS...
Noooooo! My buy didn't execute! I missed the party and may never see a PPS that low again. Dammit!!! Congrats to all of you who grabbed up more shares this morning. I didn't have any money available in scottrade so I went with my bank USAA and while they're great with many, many products and service, brokerage is not one of them.
So I am still stuck at 500K for now.
GLTA GOIG LONGS!!!
Waiting for my buy to execute!!! Weeeeee!!!!!
GLTA GOIG LONGS!!!!!
Someone else's ignorance and impatience is our golden gain!!!!
BUYING!! Thank you, thank you!!!!!!!!!
GLTA GOIG LONGS!!!!
Steve
AWESOME buy-in point!!!
WOW!! I need to find more $$$ to buy more shares at this price! It's like those who haven't jumped on board yet, or didn't buy as much as they wanted, are being given a very rare window to go back in time and get in before the big, long run up...
GLTA GOIG LONGS!!!!!!!
Steve
2020 I think you might be misreading it a bit. I read all three and all three read as pro-GO800 to me.
Just my 3 cents, keep the change!
GLTA GOIG LONGS!!!!
Steve
I disagree! The stock symbol concept is brilliant, speaks for itself really. I personally find it awesome I now have a direct line to regular updates to companies I own stock in. Just awesome.
GLTA GOIG LONGS!!!!
