Trust your senses, Balihi. eom
Capt, who, et al - Thanks for all the info. It is all very informative but we still keep falling.
I need an early afternoon cocktail.
PS - Absolut Mandrin Vodka w/ OJ or Cranberry Juice is excellent.
The OJ and Cranberry Juice are optional
Have a great weekend
Capt.- I hope you are right. My concern is that the PRs don't seem to be followed by results. Maybe that is me being too anxious and it will simply take longer for them to come to fruition. (big word for me)
The PRs do not help or even hold the PPS so they can't have that much substance to them, yet. Yet is the key word here and I hope we see some follow up PRs that have sales and dollar figures.
Thanks for your input. I got to go give another lesson. See you all in about an hour.
Saturn- I am doing well, thanks. I am trying to stay positive with this company, but the reality to me is that now we are hoping for a positive change in direction, if it is not too late, and it might be.
You are right about a major contract needed. I do not think we have that much time left, though. If something MAJOR is not signed, sealed and delivered soon we may not recover. HISS has not given us one reason to believe they are really even close to landing a deal. They have lost my trust and the only reason I am sticking around is that I am too far upside down and it is not worth getting out.
Don't get me wrong, this was a huge gamble to begin with so I am not totally surprised.
How are you? I hope all is well. It has been about a year now since Katrina, right? Tell everyone that some of us out here in California are still thinking of them and hoping they are recovering well.
who - OK, how about both? eom
.25? Let's be realistic. If the last eight months has taught us anything it is that this company is struggling. Minor PRs tend to hurt the PPS and we are sliding down a slippery slope to oblivion.
That said, we need real results. Announcing the sale and delivery of CTs to a company that appears to have more cousins than trucks is not what we need.
We need shares retired and we need REAL business. Oh yeah, and we need a company that follows through... with anything.
My problem is that I am too stubborn to sell because if this thing turns around I am looking forward to throwing back a few Rum drinks in the Bahamas with anyone who cares to join me.
Until then, patience and I will be happy with .05 again to start.
Jersey, Thanks for sharing! eom
OT: Dirt, I do not know where you are, but it is about dinner time in Scotland so have a pint for me.
Agreed, whining serves no purpose, but when information (PRs) are released and then never followed up on with sales confirmations and payments, then we should question what happened.
I gotta go to work. See you all tonight.
I have been sitting back and browsing posts and several of you crack me up. Labeling people as bashers because they are pissed off at this company and don't say anything positive.
Someone please tell me what has happened recently that is positive. Not positive potential, but positive with actual income to back it up. After all, making money is what we are all here for, oh yeah, except for you pumpers and bashers.
This company has been stringing us along for a while now and there are only two possible reasons for this. 1) They are legitimate and just trying to get that one big break. 2) They are deceiving us and scamming us for everything they can get.
I am hoping for (1) since I hold stock and I am not selling, but people have a right to be pissed and voice their opinion.
For those interested - I have e-mailed the Juvenile Probation department about how they plan to use the CT. I have family in my area who work for Juvenile Probation and I am planning on sharing any information with them. IF I get a response, I will pass the information along to the board immediately, but don't hold your breath.
GLTA
There is nothing positive about this company right now that is not speculation. I am banking on that speculation to turn into sales, but forgive me and those of us who do not choose to get excited over speculation when HISS keeps failing to produce, over and over again.
Good luck Lacy. I am still holden' for now. I am in the red and I have decide to go down with the ship or buy one (only a small one with my shares) depending on the outcome. No false hopes, just a glutten for punishment.
GLTY
Thanks Jersey! You definitely go above and beyond with your posts. Your efforts are not taken for granted either. I very much appreciate your sharing of info.
Ronald - Good morning. The announcement of the EVSI divi will probably be in every PR until it is completed which could be July, August, '07, who knows. They want every possible person to know about it so even though it is not new information it is included like a pop up Ad.
I know you asked for a "substantial" reason, but unfortunately when it comes to PR's from BA that word is not usually appropriate. Don't get me wrong, this is one of the best PR's we have seen in a long time. Spence was right that the wording was better and the information appears to be real news this time, even if it is still speculative. This PR appears to have grown some baby teeth.
I hope I am wrong, but I do not think this PR will have a significant affect on the PPS today. IMO
GLTY
Jersey- I look forward to hearing what you find out.
TIA for sharing.
Jersey- I have a lot of respect for you based on your history here, but you have to admit that if you feed a Basher long enough, he will grow. This is just another seven course meal for them.
I have remained loyal to this stock and its potential, but this is just getting old. Now we wait again.
I am holding strong, but feeling weaker and weaker by the PR.
GLTY and thanks for your input here. I always look forward to reading your posts.
Spence- Ditto, plain and simple. eom
OT: Happy B-Day saturn26/27 eom
Advertisement, not PR. Apple should be fined for releasing advertisements under the disguise of a PR. The first time news broke about the many uses for the CT was worthy of a PR because it was news. This is not even a different concept. We have already seen "Tracking Your Teen".
They should have spent the money we pay Apple and done actual advertising for the CT.
I know they are just filling time, but this is just wasted space in my in-box. It sucks waking up and seeing a PR in my mailbox only to open this.
noble- Well said eom.
WOW! I just got in and on-line...
It is obvious we need some real news to keep us focused on the important issues of this company and not each other. Have you noticed that people are arguing about a third party, not directly with each other.
Now, I am confident that both Lacy and Spence have HISC's best interest at heart. I believe both of you want HISC to succeed, but your arguments are creating a rift between the two of you that has nothing to do with either one of you.
I have heard nothing of interest out of baddog, but hey, if he wants to waste his time posting, that is his right. However, if he posts false information, then he needs to banned.
As far as I know it is Matt's and RCP's job to do that, not ours. They need to do the DD to prove that BD is posting false information and deal with him. Let's not get at each others throat about BD.
Last week I posted this in response to RCP's wish that we try to get away from issues that our not relevant and get back to a civil informative board:

WELCOME to the NEW HISC message board...
It is bigger, better, and healthier than ever before. 50% more information at the same low price.
Good Luck To All
--------------------------
Let's all get back to the important issue of HISC and ignore, if you choose, all the other stuff. I know both of you are sincere and I hate to see you arguing over another person.
I also realize you are both probably sleeping and I am talking to myself, but that is ok. I often talk to myself, but that is another subject altogether. LOL
backaway- Thanks for the input...
Your thoughts and name are appreciated.
It is wise to never hit a shot until you are fully committed and confident. Just don't hold up the game LOL. That thought applies to many areas of life, including investing.
notrapnc- I am not trading in and out and I believe in this company as well. It sounds like we agree with the long term prospects of this company. I was just curious if anyone had any thoughts on my projection of what might happen in the next couple of months. I know it is pure speculation.
Good luck to you.
Good morning everyone, anyone, Bueller, Bueller?
I am curious to hear opinions on what will happen between now and May 30th.
Here is my take:
We will not see very much green in the next week or so. In fact, I believe we may see significant red. Any fluff PRs will be met with apathy and, as in the past, the PPS will continue to drop.
As we get closer to the dividend and merger announcement, mid May, we will rebound and climb on expectations. A significant PR at this time will fuel the fire and possibly run the PPS even higher before the dividend date.
Post merger?
If Frank and Co. have been on the up-and-up, then we will continue to see green as HISC will start disclosing significant information that will answer many questions and eliminate the concerns of many. The new company will see a rise in PPS and we will all be green with them as well. It is a win win. Many will sell and take their profit. Others, like myself, will continue to hold and make even more money in the long term. Well, I may sell a little to cover my investment.
If Frank and Co. do not follow through and nothing of significance happens?
Red may become our dominate color. I will have a beer and file this under lessons learned and move on.
I am banking on the success side of the scenario. I am only risking what I can afford to lose so I am not sweating this like some are. The adrenaline of the gamble is what makes this stock exciting. It is like doubling down in blackjack except you might get paid ten, twenty, or a hundred times your bet. You may lose it all, but at least you know what that number is. No one is going to reach into your pocket and take more.
I have evaluated what I am willing to risk and I hope everyone else has too.
I do not have anywhere near the knowledge of many of you so keep in mind this is just my opinion based on what I have experienced with HISC in the past and my gut feeling.
Feel free to be critical if you disagree, just be civil please. I posted this to see if I am on the same page as others or not. If you disagree, great, tell me why and I might learn something new. Lord knows the learning department of my brain is not bored.
BadDog- I can only tell you what I think...
"this idea of the weak selling and strong longs holding is a bit overplayed".
How? Anyone selling right now is weak. If you have been in this for a while now, you might as well stick it out. It is not overplayed at all. You say you deal with these stocks all the time? Well I doubt you get in to make 10% or 20% do you? If someone got in early, below a penny, and they wanted out, then they should have pulled the trigger earlier this month, not now.
"You say people are banking on the post merger action...? What were they banking on before"?
I was banking on a breakthrough in contracts, uplisting, or a buyout/merger of some kind.
"The uplisting"?
See above remark
"$50 Million in sales"?
Patience
"Barry Bennet and Rudy Guiliani "on board?"
No
"So many broken promises all forgotten and now the "strong" are focused on the HUGE post merger action"?
Really? I don't know if I would call a change in strategy, broken promises and I will settle for steady positive growth and more informative PRs after the merger. I would like to see contracts, uplisting of HISC, deliveries, and anywhere from 1% - 5% of the marketshare. That would make us all a lot of money long term. At least for those of us who own stock in HISC.
Do you?
RCP and Lacy- I actually agree with both of you.
Lacy, I think you are right, but I am not convinced that it won't be anything more than another bump in the road. The weak will sell and the longs won't care because ultimately we are betting on the post merger action. In the big picture it really does not matter what happens in the next few weeks before the dividend and merger announcements unless you are day trading, which you and I are not. I least I don't think you are.?
RCP, Well said. My analogy for selling now would be poker. You are playing a big pot in Texas Hold'em and have raised on the flop, and the turn. You are committed to the pot now so why not see the river card. Anyone not willing to stick it out should have gotten out a few weeks ago with the last run.
IMHO
Good luck to all
Thank you Spence. It is nice to know that I am not the only one wondering what, why, and for how long this is going to happen. I still believe in HISC, but more confused as to when we will know for sure.
I am not sure that the end of May will bring enough answers either. GLTY
Fenwah- Spence does not need me to defend him so I am going to stop this discussion after this post.
If you don't like his posts either don't read them or tell him he is wrong and why. That is why we have message boards. Thoughts and ideas can be bounced off of each other. Everyone is different. We have people from all over the world here and not everyone is going to have the same perspective. I have posted frustrations before and others have answered with information that helped me become less frustrated.
Others, like yourself, complain.
You should never presume to know what another person is going through. RESPECT - look it up
Have a good day
HISC will not go sub penny again. IMO The beauty of penny stocks is that either way we have a reason to drink. LOL Hopefully no one has more than they can afford to lose in this thing. They don't call these things "pennies" for nothing.
The Island Capt. and I were discussing was the Bahamas, SANDALS RESORT, to be specific. I think it would be a great place for a shareholder meeting. It may not be big enough, though. Anyone know how many people went last year?
Fenwah- Spencer's probably not selling and why should he? He is not lying about HISC. He is not misleading anyone. It is his opinion and he is entitled to it.
Nobody is forcing you to read his posts. This board is better because his opinions are honest and he is willing to share them.
Have a good day
Reminder- Let's stay "On Topic"
WELCOME to the NEW HISC message board...
It is bigger, better, and healthier than ever before. 50% more information at the same low price.
Good Luck To All
I have no problem with that. I welcome the new philosophy. I look forward to not having to read 50 posts to find the few with any real substance. I think we all started getting carried away because of the waiting and waiting. I have enjoyed learning about several of you and your backgrounds, though.
I also believe that this is the right stock. We should all probably start using the PM feature more often.
Is the OT: feature still going to be allowed as long as it is not overused?
Everyone needs to remember: Being critical and questioning information is not bashing. I have said it before, honest questions, serious concerns are a good thing. I do not want a board that is full of "Yes" men and women.
I think you are on the right track RCP and Matt and I look forward to ... See next post.
Spencer- I agree with your post about acknowledging obvious bashers with nothing to add to this board. I am going to try to make an effort not to engage in repeated conversations with them. One comment about an issue posted maybe and that is it.
Have a great day.
Exactly!
OT: Regarding deleted posts...
That is fine as long as it is done to everyone, moderator included. I realize it is not an easy job for Matt to watch everything, but these deletions need to be consistent.
Example: Off the EVSI Board

Capt... Can I bitch-slap ya every once in a while for old times sake...LOL! Did you run off while playing "Hide N Seek" with Tex... He always falls for that when you leave him a couple rum-soaked reefers.
RedCloud
Again, Just wondering because the rules seem to be changing compared to what I have seen in the past. I will definitely try to stay on topic.
Does this mean no more posting "OT:" because they will all be deleted?
P.S. In a way, my post with Tex was related to HISS because if Capt. was in an IHUB jail, we owe it to our members to "Have their back" and go get him. We can't just leave one of our own behind. Never have never will.
TIA
Good morning Seeker- Thanks for the reply eom
RCP- Did you delete my earlier post to Tex because I forgot to put OT: in front?
Sorry, if that was the reason, but I did not think it needed deleting based on the previous history of this board.
I also was curious what seeker777 was trying to tell me, but it was deleted too.
Just wondering.
TIA
Question for everyone- Anyone know why Seeker777 had post #30243 deleted? It was addressed to me and I just got home to find it in my mailbox but no message.
Just curious what it contained since it had my name on it.
TIA
BadDog- I would love to see some contracts right now, but I am willing to wait a little longer. If nothing is reported by the end of May, then I will get worried.
If something significant does happen, I get the feeling you will just find something else to complain about. I hope I am wrong.
BadDog- $50 million is sales DOES NOT mean that there should be $15 million by now. Sales do not happen on a nice even paced schedule in this type of industry.
In my business, golf, I can project within about 5% how many rounds will be played at my course in 2007 already, but this is not some stable company that has been doing the same thing for the last 77 years.
It is a risky, high tech, security based business where one contract can change everything in a heartbeat. You don't know what is in "the works" right now and neither do I. It is clear that you don't believe that this company is for real, but please try to come up with a more legitimate argument.
