questions, questions, questions...
Is anyone wondering or speculating that:
1) Where did Ike get the money to acquire this Carib company?
2) Dilution is to follow if Ike plans to pay them in shares?
3) Is this acquisition the reason why John Rafuse left (or even got booted)
4) Is this part of the "going global" expansion plan that Ike announce eons ago in one of the shareholder conferences, that is finally coming to fruition?
5) Go800 is going to the Caribs?
HOLY COW! NEWS! GOIG is alive!!!!!!! And taking action! WHOOOOOO...
Not sure what to think...But I do like the volume!
so that does support the reason why we haven't seen any real announcements yet.
+1 on that thought
I want Dwight Howard to drive to Florida and Wake MR St Claire the F up!~
gee, i hope so too. i'd too would be a millionaire just like everyone here.
probably a network glitch. But it's back up again.
Or, they were pushing out some new updates to site, but things didnt go well, so they reverted back to the current version. This would also account for the brief period of lagging. That may be good or bad depending how you look at it. I think of it as good progress.
LOL! You're right. My bad, what was I thinking?!
Scottrade charges 0.5%, NOT 5%.
it depends on how you deposit your money. if you go to a scottrade office and give them a check or money order, it becomes available to trade the next day by 8am. if you use their online "Money direct" tranfer from your bank account to your scottrade account, those funds will be available the next day as well BUT ONLY FOR NON-PENNY STOCK trades. That's because money deposited via Money Direct become "restricted funds" for 3 days. After that you can buy penny stocks with it.
See here
http://www.scottrade.com/online-trading/fund-your-account/additional-information.html
for penny stocks like opmg, Scottrade will charge an extra 5% of the total principle, on top of the $7 trade fee.
i also have a fidelity account, but was required to call them up to have them "enable" my account for penny stock trading. just bought my first batch of opmg via fidelity last week. fidelity doesn't charge any extra fees. just 7.95/trade.
can someone tell me what advantages scottrade has over fidelity? if not, i might just transfer all my stocks over to fidelity and close scottrade...
right, illume is a private company. But I was just assuming that (if even possible) opmg had been increasing ownership in illume by purchasing private shares (as how a private investor would do it)...
but i dunno, maybe that's not possible.
i believe the acquirer (opmg) would have been buying up shares of the target company (Ilume) to create a position and increase ownership before it made the offer, not the other way around.
Either way, shouldnt we be expecting a 13D filed?

Also, I thought that this issue was put to rest when there was a concensus that this transaction was a regular merger and NOT a reverse merger....
I was reading up about mergers to get a better understanding of what goes on...
When the CEO and top managers of a company decide that they want to do a merger or acquisition, they start with a tender offer. The process typically begins with the acquiring company carefully and discreetly buying up shares in the target company, or building a position. Once the acquiring company starts to purchase shares in the open market, it is restricted to buying 5% of the total outstanding shares before it must file with the SEC. In the filing, the company must formally declare how many shares it owns and whether it intends to buy the company or keep the shares purely as an investment.
Working with financial advisors and investment bankers, the acquiring company will arrive at an overall price that it's willing to pay for its target in cash, shares or both. The tender offer is then frequently advertised in the business press, stating the offer price and the deadline by which the shareholders in the target company must accept (or reject) it.
In the United States, under the Williams Act, codified in Section 13(d) and Section 14(d)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, a bidder must file schedule TO with the SEC upon commencement of the tender offer. Among the matters required to be disclosed in schedule TO are: (i) a term sheet which summarizes the material terms of the tender offer in plain English; (ii) the bidder's identity and background; and (iii) the bidder's history with the target company. In addition, a potential acquirer must file Schedule 13D within 10 days of acquiring more than 5% of the shares of another company.
Wow. So Go800 service is still in existence. I remembered Ike talked about being able to connect to companies by texting their stock symbol, but never said anything about having web site for that. I dont think anyone knew about this site either. So great find, although not sure how that's gonna help anymore..
whats this concert pr?
Comparing the urge to text with the urge to wear a seatbelt is just plain dumb. Ppl text because they WANT to. And since they WANT to text, they sometimes go out of their way (can be good or bad) to make it a priority in the short term. The bad part is when they place texting above driving on their priority scale, and they believe they could accomplish both actions at the same time. That's why we have a problem.
Now, it's not natural for ppl to WANT to wear a seatbelt. But they do it anyway (which is good) because it takes 2 seconds, it's illegal not to, and once they click it, they can forget about it and continue to do other things of greater priority to them. And by doing this many many times over and over, it has become a habit. And if this action is instinctive and gets done without issue every time, why in the world would you need/want to pay to have a reminder for it?
comprende???
From his Twitter, looks like CEO John Rafuse has left GOCOM.
Yea, St.Claire is not going to let his big players and supporters down.
Right, but then a lot of ppl here believe that what we're seeing is not dilution yet. So I dunno. Oh well.
selling on the news makes sense if the the pps had been going up in anticipation of the news, so when you sell, you'll still be profitting. But the pps has not been moving up, but instead, declining. So selling now would just mean you're losing money. Not sure why ppl are selling now...
the website was updated at about 4:05 am IHUB time.
Nice site indeed. Just watched the new video. Very cool.
But...why is the pps declining?????
On the site, the link to download the Android version is broken though..they need to fix this quickly.
Yeah! I dont give a rat's a$$ if Frohman is on board or not, but the shuttle is heading "to da moon!". Sorry, if I sound like a pumping flipper, but Im actually not.
Did anyone mark my post #55988?

Looks like I was dead on right about how the "2011" becoming "2012" copyright date on the home page proves that we are progressing nicely. =)
And yes I erupted wildly seeing our new site =O
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NEW 2012 SITE!!! Seconds right after i post my last message, i rechecked the site and it got updated!!!!
Looks nice!!!
I see the same thing you see. Site is getting an error. The error doesnt look like it's a server problem. Looks more like something (like code) got updated but there's still some bugs. Not sure why the site is being updated right now, unless they are outsourcing the site development to ppl in India or other parts of the world, who are working their normal hours right now.
I thought legislation was passed within the last 6 months or so that now makes naked shorting illegal??...
Sorry I have not been keeping up with the developments of this April 28 event, so can someone briefly explain why it's such a big deal for PhoneGuard and why it's THE date? I know it's a no-texting-and-driving campaign held at some school in FL, but is this the hard launch for PhoneGuard/Illume's product? Is PhoneGuard the main "attraction" to be unveiled here?
Find the money. Stop eating or something
DISCHINO, that makes sense. In fact, I had anticipated this posting of yours, so a few weeks ago I had posted something to back this up =P

It is what it is. The price you want to buy at is the price you buy at. Just hope that it goes up after you buy it.
thanks for the clarification
25 food trucks sounds ridiculously huge. Even the county fairs have no more than 10 food trucks
which 8k you talking about. in the latest 8k, talking about the merger, it really does say nothing about issuing more OPMG preferred stocks. it just says that current Illume security holders that have Illume preferrered stocks will have their stocks be converted to OPMG common stock.
WUT THE....! Am I seeing things or do you guys see the after-hours T buy too? only 10K shares bought, but the pps jumped from .007 to .0079. i dont know what this means or implies...
just grabbed 150k. hope pps heads up soon
what do the buy and sell sides look like right now on L2? how many more shares until the next tick on either side?
I believe that that allstate page was modified on 2/13/12 to add that article, but that article itself (from some other source) is from last year some time.
No, that is not new. I first posted this finding in January:

And I followed up with this:

But I guess no one reads my posts. lol
