Where does everyone think...
Ernesto will take this run? I am guessing low 60's, and then maybe settle back down in the 40's. I would really like to see once slip through the channel between Mexico and cuba and up into the GOM. Cuba really has broken Ernesto up and not much room for growth, although those waters are pretty warm.

Look what happened with Chris....
Everyone jumped the gun, including myself and have been sitting down about 10 cents on this (excluding that shake after the quarterly). We need a bit more action closer to FL with actual hurrricane designation. And then the kicker is some good damage. It will go up if it blows through Florida, but it will go up more if there are reports of some major damage.
Todd
O/T Children of the Corn...
is what came to mind for me. Too bad the M storm isnt Malachi. :)
Todd
No worries. It must be over land. Those islands will break this thing up a little. Might be good for people still wanting to get in. If its a 1 and a good trajectory come opening bell tomorrow, I still say we see a gap up, if not it moves fast from its current PPS. And as always. Ernesto is not the end of the road. I still have my bet on Isaac. Thats just a craps table shake on my part.
Todd
It will hit 1.25 IMHO...
Don't get too trigger happy after this storm. Its gonna go up, come down a bit but not back to these levels. We're gonna get a few chances to make a profit. The key is knowing when to sell, and get back in for Round 2. Tough to tell IMO. GLTY
Todd
PS. I do agree with your statement. Lightning strikes this year like last, just not as strong. I would be floored to see 2.50 outta this. Who knows. I already have my GTC set at 1.75 which was ambitious in my opinion ( a 3 bagger for me).
Absolutely. We want this thing to just stir in the Gulf. Nice and slow. Hopefully Cuba wont break it much. Damn I sound so bad...those poor people down there, and I am hoping for increased strength! LOL
Todd
New Forecast...
i think hurts this a little. But should be good. I think regardless we will get some NSMG territory action, just not sure if its gonna be LA/MS or FL. If it heads to FL it will be a lower category storm due to colder waters and less time to fuel up, as opposed to the initial projection which had it going towards the middle of the Gulf over warmer waters. Regardless I think we can get a Cat 2 in FL which is enough to cause significant roofing damage, and luckily not much to cause human loss of life (for those that heed warning). I'm curious to see Monday at 9:30 how the market reacts. How exciting! :)
Todd
If you did that...
you would be going against your name "smartinvestor" :)
Todd
Indeed...
its a business model to resolve problems. It is used extensively in the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry. I don't see a problem. Six Sigma is not a trademarked process by any company, just used by thousands in varied industries. Now to the extent that they are truly and fully utilizing it in the scope of a SOP driven system, no. But its a framework they seem to provide to state how they are responding the the difficulties encountered in becoming public and rapidly growing.
Todd
Yeah...
always stack up going into the weekend. This one is expected to be in the Carribean by Tuesday/Wed, so there is buying opportunities into early next week. But it will continue to slowly rise. I think Monday we gap up 5 to 10 cents from close today, but still a chance to get in.
Todd
Dunno, don't care...
i'm playing this as strictly a hurricane play. I could care less if this whole company is a farse and exists out of a PO Box. It responds to hurricanes. Multibagger rewards in days. Plain and simple. I know nothing about anything going on with the company. I just watch the Atlantic Ocean and all applicable weather internet sites.
Todd
Intraday chart is as flat as I have seen it...
looks good. Looks like its holding its ground. I suspect it will hold and pop to 0.10 on Friday on news. Thats a guess.
Todd
I am...
just stating I don't like what the website looks like. Fact...it looks like crap. Think of me what you want. I don't care. LOL
Todd
It wasnt a bash...
it was me expressing a concern and my approach to this. I don't think people here know the difference between a concerned shareholder and a basher. Hrmmmmm. I own a measly 35K shares, and thats fact. I stated what anyone else here states day in day out...."audited fins are key to proving credibility..." Did I say something in a different tone than these other "more respected posters" here?
Todd
Chris was the first sign...
of true hurricane season to potentially hit the US. Its rise was a result of a itchy trigger. It may move a bit, but I think people will wait a bit more to get a better trajectory prediction.
Todd
To clarify...
SLJB *SHAREHOLDER* Website...not sanctioned by SLJB itself.
Todd
Debbie will have little..
or no impact on this stock. I dont even think its gonna touch Florida, much less even touch land at all. Its very likely to do a "boomerang" as it comes closer to the SE coast and then turn back out to sea. Watch Ernesto.
Todd
No...
we need something concrete...not another PR stating something that cannot be verified. Audited fins are key, THEN everything else is gravy. The ultimate key is getting outta pinkyland.
Todd
Dont worry all...
we went through this with LFWK ---> SLJB about a month ago...
it will all work out. If you wish to sell, you will probably have to do so over the phone, but more often than not they will charge you the internet fee, not the over-the-phone fee with a borker.
Todd
Ernesto...
is rumbling in the Lesser Antilles...
can you hear the roar?
Todd
O/T Good read...
made me laugh. I could use a good laugh.
Todd
Point is...
it looks shotty. If you want to be believed, present yourself in a superior fashion in the forum by which a majority of people do business in this world...the internet. If it were 1995 and the website were crap...fine, I admit to being off. Most people use internet today to shop, garner information, disseminate information, and so on. You get the point. You gotta play into the media stimuli of the people in todays age. If you dont. You lose. Imagine a "TV dinner firm A" relating to potential consumers in 1958. Imagine "TV dinner firm B" doing the same on radio in the same year. Who wins? Those that see the delicious hot tangy dessert. LOL I appologize for the lame explanation, but thats what I equate my arguement to. IMO
Todd
I agree...
like I said I wouldnt want so and so calling me about something I care two you know what about. I think most firms with a website that have a client base usually just list names, not full contact info. Like I said, if you are credible, and you prove yourself so, your clients/investors will behave as such. And to achieve such credibility is multitiered. One large overarching theme of that credibility is how you present yourself. Presentation here = little to be desired IMHO. That presentation is multidimensional here...PR, IR firm, websites accross the board, affiliated partners, past reputation, etc. I wanna see a more broad attack. Maybe patience will prove beneficial. Like I said in another post. Audit by PWC or similiar puts me balls in. My problem here is proving yourself credible with the stamp of a firm who would be SILLLLLLLLLLY to risk reputation to otherwise be affiliated with said company. Do it, and I will believe 110%.
Todd
Question...
were they your opinion, or where they a fact of abuse against TOS? Don't end with "IMO". It articulates your ban was based on opinion.
Todd
I will only get into surface details...
when I tell you it just looks cheap. The main page have differing font of a lighter color to a darker color. Size of font is uneven. Spacing is poor, missing a gap halfway down (all easy fixes for any moron who can go into HTML code and learn in 20 minutes without ever knowing anything how to make the fix). Why does it show Chicago? Whats the connection? Its some pictures put in that dont have relevance, unless I am missing something. Why is the company "Disclaimer" under "Major News Links"? not an optimal place in my opinion.
I cant get into all details. Just dig in to the site. You see various color, size, and placing of font on the same fage, and it looks like somethig I built as a first time HTML web design builder in grad school. It looks designed by a HTML design software program, or someone with little HTML experience (not to mention Java, Flash, etc could be used more effectively)
This is basic design harkening back to 1996. I wanna see something new. Its not that hard. No I am not saying I know how to do it. I am not in web design, but as one who uses the web to gain information, buy clothes, PURCHASE STOCK, I expect to see something more aligned to what I see everyday by "respectible businesses". If you want to be held credible, its not much more to get someone to design something nice with some thought and a little extra money. Fact: People work via internet today. Its the primary means by which people garner info (look....we're on a stock board on the internet!)
I see some good effort from SLJB...by means of PR and so forth. All I want is some better follow through which will add to credibility. It gives me the feeling they do indeed care about shareholders... but it just seems more and more they just care about shareholders who are gonna displace all the lowly at the bottom. If you are gonna play big, play big now. Don't play amateur with amateur firms if you are really serious about becoming big. If you don't now, it just makes everyone feel you are dragging em along for a ride to be kicked to the side. I have 3000 in this,...peanuts, and if I lose, I consider that about the same I will lose at the LV Hilton Sports Book this weekend, but this aint no damn horse. This is someone who is talking some crap. I wannt see it!
Todd
Well hopefully you are kidding...
i wouldnt buy anything with a ticker of JAWS, but thats just suspicious me. But I think Sulja has made alot of money over the years. Indeed. Good business men make lots of money. They also do it through a variety of means. Being a good businessmen goes both ways. As a son of a businessman, I see the viciousness of the business world. I am not at ALL proclaiming Steve, or the entirety of Sulja Bros. Building Supplies, LTD is at all sketchy. I just know from my opinion I am reluctant to be too trustworthy until I have credible outsider concurrence. I was happy to see the possibility of PWC being brought on board. To me, confirmation of that is key to my 100% all in stance. Release audited with their stamp, or release you have retained them so I can confirm with PWC, and I will sleep great at night (not that I dont now...my peasly investment here is nothing to many here).
Todd
Well I am sure there are disclaimers with clients when they are on board that they will be listed. I understand I wouldnt want people calling my house based on some claim that doesnt have anything to do with me. But still, a firm needs to stand its ground if they are gonna back its clients. WHere is the public notice to investors to please direct all SLJB questions to the IR firm in question only? I mean its all a matter of professional conduct how you react to, yes, crazy investors who are indeed in a whirlwind of scepticism or have many questions. What I mean is, do you put up such dislaimer/notice, or do you remove the client name? Which looks more suspicious to you? I know what does to me.
I mean in all honestty, I hate to beat this down again, but if they put out a decent website, it wouldnt have raised alot of questions to begin with, and there may not have been "scared", "nellie", etc investors (as some call them) calling, e-mailing to provide some sort of comfort as to the legitimacy of the IR firm, and more importantly, SLJB. This goes back to what I, and many have said, about the importance of credibility in this play. We all know the audited fins and progress towards SEC filings are important in that, but little steps mitigate these problems along the way. Can they really expect people WONT question a website like that?
Todd
Yeah that rings a bell now..
my concern is as I would say "response to the boards". I do recall there was some hubhub about it, but didnt exactly follow it all. Point is....seems like there is response to the boards. Which worries me, personally. But I guess I am paranoid. Its my nature when it comes to PINKS and stock boards and all, but I dont know. I continue to stand at Defcon 2/3 given whats going on. I just find it suspicious a firms name drops off in a day. Its not based on DD, or anything, just gut...again gut instinct in light of some revelations/theories/etc.
Todd
Why do you people put so much faith is what people say here? We have all started to see where thats lead. Granted, everyone has their disclaimer, but I have seen the herd follow a few people here who tell them what they want. And even the steady ones now are questioning their "advice". Stop believing what people say, either way, unless you confirm it ON YOUR OWN. People here have agendas.
Todd
I did notice...
that the bottom "client" was removed. I dont even remember who it was, but it was discussed on the board. Then today I noticed there were only 4 instead of 5 firms. For a newly formed IR firm, that one dropped off fast. Is there a reason anyone can provide? I may have missed that change.
Todd
He wants you to believe...
that, because a legimate entity or website is linked on the SLJB "contracted" website", it somehow lends more credibility to the whole SLJB play. I dont buy any links at this point until I see substantiated evidence. To me its alot of hocus pocus, with two different sides of the table playing their chips. I think we see what one chip holder has done.
Todd
Fish...some will also do...
whatever they can on this board to pump it up to get more money from their investment, whether it be a previous insider or a daytrading flipper. Lets all keep open on the fact this goes both directions in this play. Evidence based on bans, ganging up on people, etc, that this board is very one-sided to the upside of this stock's potential.
Todd
I thought they had their people here among us already...
not sure who to believe. But if the stock market boards had an Academy Award for Best Dramatic Pump and Dump/Poop and Scoop Play, SLJB sure gets a nomination and is in the lead.
Todd
LOL...
I have felt the same way hog. I have been "certain" on at least a "half-repeat" of last year with a top price around 1.50. And lately I have just gotten anxious and was thinking the same as you, fearing the headlines: "Atlantic Hurricane Season Slowest in 100 years" LOL Its early. Its getting a nice boost today. People are loading as they can feel the ever-so-light breezes comin up from the Carribean.
Todd
Looking like a real firm...
gives credibility to any answers to questions investors may have. Anything they tell me, I am inclined to be very relcuctant to believe any of it. To draw a paralell, we all know how one dresses makes a difference in the respect you get from clients to close a deal, etc. This is the equivalent of closing a multimillion dollar deal with someone who shows up to your meeting in ripped jeans and dirty sneakers. Momma always said "Dont judge a book by its cover", but sometimes it sure helps to assess one character and credibility.
Todd
P.S. I am disappointed in this, but still holding to see how it pans out, but this was a major step back in my own sense of comfort with SLJB.
Good for you...a heavy hitter! LOL eom
No, I own 35K shares strong here...
I don't have an agenda...either way. Do you?
Todd
This place cracks me up...
Another one time poster calling into question things which, admittedly, do need closure, but the new aliases are getting crazy. The funny thing is is that they originated quite some time ago, yet post just recently, out of thin blue air, questioning yes, some holes in the case so as to raise doubt. Unbeleivable! As I always say, the plot thickens. 35,000 strong here, and wont have these out of the blue posters cast doubt.
Todd
LOL I agree EyeDoc...
whats your position? I got in late (even though I watched this damn thing all year!). Just had things come up that I wanted to be in leaving me no money to invest here. And those....DOGS! grrrrrr. I am in a 57.5 cents....i thought it was gonna get away upon Chris, and I insisted I couldnt let this get away so I jumped in by freeing up some money in dogs and jumping in on that rush a few weeks ago. I panicked. Dammit! I think I can get it back, withoutb a doubt. I am concerned with a lower base now going into the TRUE hurricane season that the possibility went from 1.75 or so to 1.25, maybe as low as a buck. Which still isnt bad! BTW I am trying to let another dog loose to get in this. Just dont wanna chase again, cuz it has be down 30+%. LOL
