Apparently Mark has learned nothing about investor relations. Maybe he knows something about tractors but there is nothing to substantiate that claim.
Mark - many of us have tried giving you a chance and you just keep failing.
I like how some people (both sides of the fence) know exactly what Mark will be doing in the future. The future will take care of itself.
In the meantime, it looks like Mark is building a solid dealership and perhaps a solid national brand - again time will tell.
Right now as hyrpower points out, the market cap is around 1 million. Not much for a national brand - maybe about right for a dealership. The preferred - we'll see.
I like my odds right now with this company. That's my choice and position.
My advice is DON'T release the 2011 annual until the Q1 2012 numbers are in - and DON'T release them until the D is about to come off or is off. First of May would be a nice time period for that.
Perfectstrom - regardless of what happens I'd like whatever substance it is that you're using.
That would give Tytan a market cap of around 10 million. The potential is certainly for a higher market cap than that, but I'll agree you Demakey that I'm fine with Sunny getting the trade.
Seems it will just be boring around here until May 2 or 3.
It's not a concern to me if it's offline for a day or two. I've been involved in website design changes and there are various ways to do it. Off peak hours are not an issue for Tytan at this point so what does it matter?
Worry about it if you wish, I'm not going to especially since it was pre-announced.
"Website will be changed totally and will be disrupted for a short while."
The stated intention is to unveil a new website. For whatever reasons, taking it down for a short while was part of the plan. That's the choice of ML and the web designer. Chase's website goes down periodically (and they announce it beforehand). I guess Chase's web team is made up of amateurs.
Big changes coming?
On website today:
Website is being changed totally and will be disrupted for a short while!
Mark sure is busy creating this "phantom" company - advisory board, detailed parts diagrams, website changes, R/S, meeting with Chinese "tourists", new models, 92+ photoshopped implements with photographs of key changes in design, etc.
I'm thinking my investment in this company may be worth something. I also think those who criticize the company aren't interested in having ppl sell now but to sell too early in the run-up that may be coming. JMO
For now perhaps. That will change.
"But after I beat up a stock enough that I think I can make money, I go for it."
Thanks for being honest about the intention behind your posts.
Doesn't seem likely. Why lower the A/S at an equivalent rate if the business is not on solid financial ground. Just going to upset people if he raises the A/S shortly after the R/S so I don't think it's going to happen. If you want to remain negative, fine. Today seems like a new beginning to me. We'll see over time.
When is anything due out? That's the problem.
From Mark's fortune cookie in China:
"I can not help you, for I am just a cookie"
You can help us Mark, you're not a cookie.
Where I fault Mark is in the repeated messages to investors that numerous PRs will be coming out in the next few weeks - those messages were from early January.
Failure to live up to one's word hardly inspires confidence.
That said, I still believe TYTN can be a success but a bit more transparency is needed.
Meanstreet is correct. Any rational person reading the post would (and I did at the time) feel there was every intent to suggest that the R/S had failed and that information was based on a call to FINRA or SEC. Meanstreet has posted his evidence, which is clear and convincing.
So it's not relevant.
You also said that the shares are being "borrowed" to fill orders so how is that matching buyer and seller? For all we know the T4T was a response to naked shorting.
I doubt you know for sure.
How would you know that for sure?
A couple of thoughts - if there are no more shares to sell and the market makers are "borrowing" shares to fill orders, then NO ONE is selling. Seems like a good sign to me.
Also, I'd much rather own stock in Honda than Rolls Royce. Honda sold 3,700,000 cars in 2008; Rolls Royce had a banner year in 2010 and sold 2711 cars (nearly double what they sold in 2009).
That would be 1364 Hondas for every Rolls Royce.
The analogy is an apt one for Tytan versus the Rolls Royces of tractors.
Nice to see you back uptick. I hope you're right about Mark and Tytan.
Less than 62 million on the ask and 72 million on the bid.
USC Thank you for the information on the length of time it took for the R/S to occur on your other stock. That is helpful information.
I'll take your advice and quit any badgering of Mark that I have engaged in - but understand that people are frustrated and, in the absence of any real news, he's the focus of everyone's attention. Perhaps, he would do well not to read this board (Perhaps I would do well not to read it but that's not going to happen) - too much fun as hyrpwr suggests
"We have many PRs that should be coming out soon." I believe ML said that at the end of 2011. I guess "soon" means different things to different people.
Re-reading the mailbag , I'll rescind my"pathetic" comment to more of a let's wait and see if ML follows through this time.
I still find the "top secret" to be a poor choice of words.
I'm waiting because that's all one can do. It's been 11 business days since the R/S was scheduled on 3/1.
What do you expect to happen in a few weeks? Do you have knowledge of things happening or just expect things to happen (hope they will happen)?
Why would you disagree 100%? Nothing has happened for months other than a rather pathetic "mailbag."
I hope you're right sunny - nice name btw.
I have little doubt the markets are manipulated by such tactics as flash trading, high frequency trading, and naked short sellers. Why the SEC is incapable of enforcing their own regulations tells you something about power in this country.
I'd love to believe that Mark's R/S and other actions could clean up this stock but I'll have to see it to believe it - and would love to see it.
The ongoing interest in this stock is intriguing.
Yet there is a response to just about every post. I think you exaggerate when stating 500-1000 posts per day.
Most pinkies have at best 17 posts in six months. There is ongoing interest in Tytan from both sides for some reason. What that reason may be is what interests me.
So given that, why so many posts for a dead stock?
That's not an answer it's still a question.
My other question at this point is... if this is a dead stock... (fill in the blank).
Bunions? Maybe a podiatrist is needed. At least he keeps tinkering with the website. Why bother if nothing is happening. There is still some reason for hope but Mark needs to start putting out those PRs he's been promising.
I wouldn't doubt it - he's got sixteen hours a day to fill and it ain't out there selling tractors (at least little to no evidence of that to date).
Sure would like to know how many tractors he's selling (or maybe I don't want to know).
Yes, but they will not show up in sales until the next report. I'll give perfectstorm that. However, filters alone are not going to support this company.
I would put the likelihood that Mark will report on time (March 15) at a very low probability as he has numerous message boards to scour and "mailbag."
Even if he does report on time, what is the likelihood the numbers are any good? If they were, why not mention them in the mailbag?
If sales are growing in the first quarter of 2012, then it would be nice to mention that as well - if he doesn't, it doesn't bode well. No reason not to mention good news unless there is none.
C'mon Mark, prove me wrong.
That's the standard POS pink stock response - keep waiting.
I'm just not sure there is a market for stealth tractors - maybe Iran or North Korea could use them?
Will Mark be announcing travel plans for either of these countries?
If it appears I'm treating TYTN as a joke, that would be accurate.
ML - show us that TYTN is not a joke.
ML can't report on "Top Secret" products? Since when are tractors top secret products?
Mark sell some tractors and you won't have to write ridiculous mailbag letters.
Step - can you provide any evidence that ML is selling tractors?
Doesn't Mark have better things to do than try to police a message forum? Sell the g*dd*m tractors and no one will care what is posted here.
Yes, when the gods of the stock market quit being mean to Mark.
All I've seen from Mark is a response to the crap on this board - start selling tractors and no one will need to be told it's crap. Right now, it seems like an accurate picture of Mark Leonard (an apparent scam artist/wanna be Bernie Madoff).
Good point. Given that both listings are in California, you could be right.
Really? That's the marketing plan? Craigslist?
C'mon Mark, that's rather pathetic.
It's not excitement as much as it's let's get this thing over with and move on.
The CEO's mailbag implies that TYTN is still waiting for approval so I doubt it will happen tomorrow.
While I appreciate the mailbag, the more I think about it, the more I would have liked to see him focus on sales, dealerships, etc. rather than the petty stuff on this board.
Great - very good for building a business.
