i was thinking the same thing... one possibility could be they are cleaning out the treasury of shares and dumping them into the market before the imo reverse split comes... they all r/s when they r/m and i assume this will be no different... 2 of the names attached to SHKZ reek of foul play wayne fellus a convicted felon of front running institutional orders while working at the day trading boiler room a.b. whatley and IR relations jeffrey chicola suspended for two years by the nasdaq for trading in and out of other peoples accounts without that persons consent... and then you have james scott international man of mystery nobody is even really sure if he's made up or a real person... if anyone can find a picture of him i would love to see it... i still own a small amount to play for giggles but i sold the majority of my 250k shares as this has too many convicts, trading infraction violators, and odd ghost like ceo's not to mention the ups mailbox address almost no sec filings by james scott...titan of industry? i think not...
the webinar effect.... sell the morning before it starts and buy after its finished...unless of course jimbo can get the webinars cleaned up and polished... i mean he should at least read the questions out loud so we know what he is commenting on... and quit saying "your company" cuz if it really was my company i would of had those biatches USGE and CBR rolled up in my aloe vera lubricated company by now!! im starting to think maybe thats not the plan for jim because really all it would take is the transfer of treasury shares (restricted of course) to himself... i would assume as multiple year ongoing concerns they should be able to support themselves... granted funding would be needed to expand but we can cross that bridge when we get there...first you gotta have the companies in USFM to even apply for credit on them... lastly i still get a chuckle when my mind replays jim saying "chart poppers" with his accent
its been a loooooooong year waiting on nguyen.... personally id rather see an arse load of promptly timed PR's than see some horrible fin's... it should be obvious to him that pk stocks are nothing more than legalized gambling... it's time to get in the game nguyen!
yeah ok i get it now theres 2 gunslinger records and one was dissolved in 2009 and the other one is valid...its just labeled differently because its a foreign company and thats what threw me off the trail for a minute... enjoy your day people
from the april 19th press release
About Gunslinger Records Inc.
Gunslinger Records Inc. is a Florida corporation that has been engaged in an ongoing search for suitable business opportunities, including a potential merger, since 2007. Pursuant to the Plan and Agreement of Reorganization, Kinbasha became Gunslinger Records' principal operating company.
there is no gunslinger records inc. in florida... according to the secretary of state it has been dissolved as per my previous post here... that is really what i am asking...is if anyone knows if gunslingler moved their company to a different state of registry? because according to florda sos its not in their state...
i think that INFX is ripening and should come to harvest soon... check out their share structure adjustment made recently... looks like its time to "run it"!!!
im sure minimar will go shopping at their minimart which has a beautiful selection of india based companies desiring a shot at liquifying themselves...they also have some nice chinese prospects coming along nicely in triple a ball who may be ready for the big leagues soon enough... and then there is always the stand-by mississauga companies ready to fill the gap if needed it will all happen in due time
i havent done a whole lot of research on this one... maybe like 15 minutes worth but is this thing for real? if you go to florida sos you will see gunslinger records was dissolved before they issued any shares out

twasn't i who bought in today... upon further review they have sold off the security divisions who had employed 2600 people and were getting anywhere from 5-150 million dollar contracts... but their profit margins looked horrible... this of course was when they were reporting which stopped after the sale of the 2nd assset... i think they had 2 separate security guard companies... anyways it now seems to be just a trading symbol with some NOL's attached to it and who knows if they ever plan to acquire a private business and with the way NOL's are set up i think they would have to be another security firm as i dont think you can move outside your sector and apply the NOL's... that is if they could even make a profit as they already have shown in the past that they didnt i.e. NOL's and with the amount of pay that has to go to physical guards its tough to be profitable for them... so i will be passing
TRIS seems to me could have a heck of a lot of upside from what i can tell TRIS tri-s security 4.2 million float w/ ceo owning 40% of that... fairly tight spread and certainly looks ready for some upside...its seemingly an unnoticed security that i have been watching for a few days now... havent bought in yet but as im still doing some research on it... but it looks to be a security company that has had in the past 2600 security guards and a slew of multi-million dollar contracts with homeland security... they went non-reporting a couple years ago and there seems to be a pretty consistent buying in selling of small lots $200-800 worth which is what i will buy to stay in the buy-sell volume area... but any type of secretary of state change or outside coverage on this one i believe would trigger a hefty upswing in shareprice

the webinars may not have been up to your qualifications... but you certainly cant deny the funniness of hearing a guy with a pakistani accent say "chart poppers" that had me laughing and i lost my concentration on the webinar for a bit...
I let jim know that in a tongue in cheek kind of way.
Jim, I wrote this on a message board concerning issues of the webinar.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
i must admit jims issue with financing is a bit troubling to me... i fear that his so called "wall st." connections that many thought were in place due to his other business dealings w/ his private companies and cms enhancements may not be as strong as made out to be... he seemed to bring up the need for financing more than once in the webinar that coupled with the statement that they couldnt handle a large national contract at this time leads me to believe that the CVS sales must be on the low end of volume or non-existent otherwise that comment about handling large aloe volume wouldnt of been made... and lastly they are in need of someone who seriously knows how otc markets work... i consider it to be a blunder on their part not to have press released a new substantially sized order with an elite nationally known hotel chain trading on the NYSE with positive feedback from the order... and yet press release a new distribution channel for the aloe products... one is new and exciting businees with NYSE:H and the other is a change from one distributor to another... that my friends is not market savvy
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Before the webinar USFM was trading at .017, with a press release this morning pertaining to the Hyatt Hotels aloe order that goes up 30%. Into the .023 - .024 range. I also would like to say that that is exactly the kind of news that we shareholders like to see. Working in conjunction with a NYSE publicly traded company. We don't get interested in securities over distribution changes. If you wanna hire me as a consultant i'd be more than happy to. Because it is becoming apparent the marketing of the security USFM is in need of dire help and my many years of otc trading experience would be of a help to USFM.
A bit of braggadocio in there! But it was all in good fun... i hope he takes it that way...
sadly, jims presentation style doesn't lend itself to reassurance. i assume it's because he seems to be so closely guarded in what he presents. that and well if you caught it he said he's setting this company up for generations of prosperity... so you know his timetable is basically the rest of his life and he's obviously in no hurry... zzzzzzzzzz
i must admit jims issue with financing is a bit troubling to me... i fear that his so called "wall st." connections may not be as strong as made out to be... he seemed to bring up the need for financing more than once in the webinar that coupled with the statement that they couldnt handle a large national contract at this time leads me to believe that the CVS sales must be on the low end of volume or non-existent otherwise that comment about handling large aloe volume wouldnt of been made... and lastly they are in need of someone who seriously knows how otc markets work... i consider it to be a blunder on their part not to have press released a new substantially sized order with an elite nationally known hotel chain trading on the NYSE with positive feedback from the order... and yet press release a new distribution channel for the aloe products... one is new and exciting businees with NYSE:H and the other is a change from one distributor to another... that my friends is not market savvy
Well getting a market savvy IR firm in as soon as possible is obviously needed as USFM could of built a nice little press release around this...
Major order received and delivered to Hyatt and Hyatt gave positive feedback.
and maybe they still will...
he may make it sound that way... as he is the most cautious carefully worded ceo ive ever listened to... but lets get real if and when he decided to acquire his own private companies all its going to take is a signature at the bottom of the contract that has already been drawn up... he seems to make it sound like he is looking to acquire a green energy company that is not his own... which would be odd to really do... so i still believe we may very well see something press released at any given time
ha ha there was nothing bad to report... ongoing acquisition talks (assumedly w/ himself lol) aloe is profitable... contract w/ national hotel chain... new outside IR firm coming aboard... i say let the flippers leave
nice! he says they are in ongoing discussions with companies about acquiring them! the aloe is profitable and has a new contract with national hotel chain Hyatt! did i hear him say he wants up to 5 acquisitions rolled into USFM? that is awesome!
alright i missed the first webinar so all i have to do is click the go to webinar link in the email sent by us farms? and does it send me to the webianar automatically? do i have to log in or make an account or any of that crap? at this point ive got a small box on my screen that says i am successfully connected? but thats it
ive thinned down quite a bit... ive had many email communiques with IR and i see it as a certain... but then again they all reverse split with their reverse merges and this one will be no different imo... the true game is the pre r/m - r/s news... and if its a rock solid company post r/s crash... i also had concerns about the way it was trading as it always seemed like an endless incoming flow of shares coming from somewhere... down in the .01 days this was paper thin with all that low hanging fruit picked this thing should of had a way more meteroric rise with less shares available w/ new accumulators... but sadly that didnt happen... i was told that there is a share exchange thats gonna happen and i just really hope the mgmt. isnt messing around and unloading shares from their treasury prior to the new share structure... as i found in my research some of these guys have a history of running trading desks as well as having trading infractions resulting in anything from suspensions and fines to securities fraud... so who really knows whats going on behind the scenes... when i confronted the IR guy about the secretary wayne fellus securities fraud conviction he inferred i was some nefarious wall st guy as "only a handful of people knew that he was made the secretary" yeah but one of those people happened to be www.sunbiz.org lol
i have noticed very strange buy sell patterns with this one ever since i started in on this one... there is definitely a seller(s) who are adept at the game of information and also likes to try to keep the ask just a bit over the sp... back before i alerted people to what was going on with SHKZ i was filled in the 100's of thousands of shares at .01 with ease... as I told some people and word got out that changed the low .01's didnt get filled nearly as fast... i will be watching the forthcoming news with great anticipation of who the merge in is... i am also expecting a reverse split to accompany or happen just prior to the shares being distributed to the incoming merge company... sadly it's just what they do

http://www.nfa.futures.org/basicnet/CaseDocument.aspx?seqnum=890
booya!
sadly, if the incoming is ravenspear technologies it doesnt look like they have much to offer in the way of revenue- $39,000 and a single employee http://www.manta.com/c/mtqf0kc/ravenspear-technologies now that doesnt mean that some really bitchin' multi-million dollar contract news wont propel this upwards momentously... but that wont come before the possible reverse merger news as well as the seemingly always hand in hand reverse split news in the same pr... i love me some r/m plays for quick in and outs... but long term they are way too much of a gamble as the incoming companies like to stack the deck in their favor by freeing up the lions share of the authorized share structure considering the reason they go public is to have the ability to raise copius amounts of capital most likely through the sale of securities as these pink sheeters tend to be small start-ups and with one employee and revenues of $39,000 this one fits the bill... glta
now i agree with you! when all is said and done the aloe will most likely be the smallest revenue producing company under the USFM corporate umbrella not because of poor management skills etc... but because its a niche market that only caters to granola eating, tree huggers and hypochondriacs... just kidding and no offense to the hypochondriacs of the world...but yes the speculative acquisition of jims private companies in the green energy and real estate fields will be of much more value to the company as we humans all need a place to live and we all need energy to keep us warm, cool, run our appliances and electronics... in some of my research on CBR Commercial i noticed that they are a distressed asset acquirer (buying bank owned foreclosures) which is so gonna pay off as the real estate market gets ever closer to a true bottom and when inventory starts to tighten up considering where the lions share of his properties are located (sunny socal) its gonna get real profitable for CBR Commercial... i know the majority of the speculative talks on here is about US Green Energy but i dont discount what CBR Commercial will bring to the bottom line if and when its acquired... for me personally its when and not if... although i like to try to keep it real in my posts i dont think that these speculations are wild unobtainable tangents that should be discounted... i see it more as a natural progression of a ex-ny stock exchange CEO starting his ascent back into the market of publicly traded companies... glta
what you have just described is a reorganizing of the aloe business to streamline distribution and consolidating of satellite offices into a main office to cut out more overhead... certainly not a "aloe business is not in jim's future"... personally i never thought they were getting out of the aloe marketing business... they wouldnt of set up Natural Supplements and Vitamins Inc. as a distributor for the products or hired samantha to do customer service relations stuff for the aloe line if they were selling or discontinuing it...also i dont think Natural Supplements and Vitamins Inc. has anything to do with the manufacturing of said aloe products they are only a distribution channel... i cant remember the name of the outfit that does handle that end of the operations but i think they are very large and do the same thing for many other companies selling aloe products... maybe you believe that "The Aloe business is not in Jim's future." but ive always thought that USFM will be a holding company housing multiple companies including the on going marketing operations of the aloe line as jim has already put in time and money into it with the reorganizing, new internet distribution channel and hiring of samantha... as well as future incoming private companies US Green Energy, CBR Commercial for starters and im sure other acquisitions down the road... imo
"The Aloe business is not in Jim's future."
could you please explain in more detail? have you spoken to someone within USFM that has told you this? i knew that they had a licensing agreement in place with a substantial aloe vera processor for the growing, manufacturing, packing, and shipping process of aloe products sold under the USFM name...which was how Jan Skwara the previous CEO had the company set up so as to not have to take on the overhead of land purchases to grow the aloe, factories to manufacture and ship the aloe not too mention the amount of people youd have to employ...but i guess i never knew that "The Aloe business is not in Jim's future." which in essence means he's either discontinuing or selling the aloe product line. this from the initial Jim Farooquee press release dated march 15th
Mr Farooquee commented, "I am very excited about the opportunity that exists with US Farms. I intend to create some exciting opportunities for the company and its shareholders, as the company has a nice base to work from with its current wellness product line and more."
to me that sounds like a continuing of the aloe business "as the company has a nice base to work from with its current wellness product line and more." Which to me translates to were keeping the aloe vera business and were gonna be adding acquisitions in the future... hence the "and more" at the end of that statement. thank you in advance for your reply
All the due diligence done on Jim Farooquee and his taking control of USFM in the days right after becoming CEO led people to speculate that there would be acquisitions made on the part of USFM. Those speculations apparently proved to be right on as per Jims comments made on the first webinar. Which were to diversify USFM into the green energy sector through acquisitions. Granted they havent been completed yet but if you take Jim at his word the future acquisitions will be made. As to date I have not seen a single "paid by third party" promotional campaign on USFM. Calling this a pump & dump is a gross error of definition concerning the history of USFM since Jim Farooquee has taken over. It would be better classified as investor disappointment. There was definitely speculative buy ins after Jim farooquee had taken over as CEO and pre 1st webinar on the chance a acquisition not a reverse merger was to be announced. A reverse merger involves a private company obtaining control of a public company. Jim Farooquee has just taken control of USFM assumedly by buying a controlling amount of shares from the previous CEO Jan Skwara. To think that he is or would give up controlling interest to a private incoming company is simply not going to happen as stated by Jim that his desire is to build USFM into something qualitative. Penny stocks move at the speed of light these days and what weve witnessed here is simply investors moving their capital to different securities with more timely news or simply out of the market altogether. One never really knows these things specifically. Personally I am not expecting acquisition news during this webinar but I am hoping for detailed information on the series c preferreds placements usage. I personally dont believe Jim would do a 11 page preferred placement for capital to dominate the aloe vera industry. In my opinion that capital has been placed for a specific use outside of the aloe vera industry sector. I am also hoping that Jim does talk about the future investor relations firms hiring role in what he wants to accomplish with that synergistic partnership. It's become apparent that USFM and Mr. Farooquee are not in any rush (by traders standards) to get certain acquisitions finalized. Remember it's only been 2 months since Jims taken control. With all that being said with a roughly 40 million float and any acquisition news the share price will propel upwards momentously with longs and flippers being involved so when it cools off post news please dont think its another "pump and dump" as its just the nature of lightning quick traders moving monies elsewhere.
Here is some information on "pump and dumps"
"Pump and dump" is a form of microcap stock fraud that involves artificially inflating the price of an owned stock through false and misleading positive statements, in order to sell the cheaply purchased stock at a higher price. Once the operators of the scheme "dump" their overvalued shares, the price falls and investors lose their money.
Pump and dump schemes tend to take place either on the Internet including e-mail spam campaigns or through telemarketing from "boiler room" brokerage houses (for example, see Boiler Room). Often the stock promoter will claim to have "inside" information about impending news. Newsletters that purport to offer unbiased recommendations then tout the company as a "hot" stock.
it's tough without a catalyst... too many hardcore holders not giving away their shares at these discounted prices... now knowing that a public relations campaign will be fired up following the hiring of an outside investor relations firm to bring exposure to USFM i cant really blame anyone for not selling... that will give USFM the eyes and push that has been sorely needed as USFM only press releases real material events that warrant a press release... everyone got your questions ready for the webinar?
ok so i just got off the phone with chuck cibulka investor relations person guy with USFM i called him yesterday and he called me back today as they just got back from las vegas... he was part of the crew that was out at the las vegas trade show convention... although USFM was not exhibiting at the LV show they were there specifically for looking at Investor Relations firms as I was told... and generally making contacts w/ other companies (public & private) as well as the investment bankers... so to me it sounded like the main purpose of attending was that USFM will be hiring an outside IR firm for exposure and i was told "we are working on it"... chuck said jim was impressed w/ the trade show and USFM will be attending the next one in san francisco as an exhibitor... other things touched on were auditing of past financials... was told completed in 60 days or less... he had no knowledge of the preferred placements being completed as well as he was unaware of the 90farms domain name being registered but said that to the best of his knowledge USFM is and will retain the USFM name... i said thats good as jims private company which i believe will be acquired has quite a few ties to the words us and farms... us green energy, fuel farms inc., the jatropha farm etc... i guess that just about wraps up my conversation with chuck cibulka and i must admit i will be looking forward to a IR firm doing a exposure campaign on USFM as that will help get some eyes on this baby!!!

there was a finra rule change... MM's cant hide the order size for bids and asks anymore! they have to put the full order size up for display...pretty nice huh? now all the 5000 bids and asks are either MM's trying to manipulate market down or up or whackers trying to manipulate the market down or up... or somebody who truly only owns or wishes to sell a $100 worth...im totally diggin' it!
were gonna need the run soon as the IR guy told me after the books are completed they will start announcing things... and you all know what that means...in my opinion the r/m news will come with the almost always hand in hand reverse split... the one that they "havent ruled out in the near future"... which is pretty much as close as he could say its gonna happen without giving me information not made public to all investors... i have reduced my position on this one selling at some decent gains as i dont wanna be the guy holding too much when they start to "announce things"... the float is small and the possible reverse split will make it smaller and less liquid... especially if the ratio is high
i dont see a reverse merger in the future of USFM as a reverse merger is the acquisition of a public company by a private company... they usually involve new mgmt., r/s, new shares issued. shares held by old mgmt. cancelled etc... what we have here is a acquisition which is so much better for current shareholders as the acquisition prospect(s) are already owned (privately) at this point by the publicly traded company (USFM's) CEO... no worries about the inevitable r/s that goes with seemingly every r/m... plus all the shares that will be issued out as payment for the acquisition go right to the rock solid non-diluting already in place CEO Farooquee... not to mention im sure they will have the restricted tag on them as they always do... so in essence the acquisition is far better than the left in the dark hyped up penny r/m that usually bites the last guy standing w/ shares before the recapitalization process starts which includes the r/s for more paper to be tossed out into the market... so far its been tough to find anything negative or even risky in this security... now if jim had a checkered past of moving from publicly traded co. to co. and massive increases in share structures at said stops with multiple companies i prolly wouldn't even be invested here... those guys are a dime a dozen out there in pennysville but with jims cms enhancements history of pink to nyse and creation of subsequent private companies... im not too concerned about the eventual outcome of this one... as far as i can tell the only problems with market cap. with USFM is stuff out of the control of mgmt. now that every yahoo with an account at zecco seems to be the next warren buffett with his in and out style never holding over night... flipping, scalping, day trading etc... it just moves lightning fast these days... its certainly not like the cms enhancements days in the late '80's when you had to call arnold your broker and then call him again a day later to see if you got filled...lol patience will pay off on this one imo
well if and when other companies are acquired i would think that they would all have stand alone websites... maybe the professional website guy could attest to the fact that you really wouldnt want a singular website for multiple operating companies under one umbrella... to much crap on one page especially if one of the entities is a retail sales site i.e. the aloe products... but at this point its not really a concern to me... i am more interested in getting my questions formulated about whats the new incoming flow of money through the sale of the preferreds is going to be used for? jims a pretty keen guy and he definitely doesnt post stuff up on nevada sos until he wants it to be seen... just like he didnt actually switch over the new mgmt. changes for weeks after the press release on march 15th... so i have a pretty good idea that the incoming cash and its use will be talked about on monday... otherwise as a non reporting company we would of never known about the preferreds if he didnt choose to make it publicly available to us via nevada sos because its not like nevada sos fines you for not reporting stuff or gives out disciplinary actions.. jim could of kept this to himself for as long as he wished as a non reporting company at this juncture... so its good to see he is being as transparent as possible the audited fins will be great also!!
p.s. looking forward to the day of US Green Energy status being "merged out" on nevada sos
i'd bet that this website will be for the aloe operations... and i bet he will register a new domain site or sites as the acquisitions start coming in... but if you can monitor those things i would definitely look for one pertaining to a all encompassing holding co. styled type name
