Though it is not worth the thousands of dollars I have lost over the past couple of years with first Soleil and now Imperia...this is a much better soap opera than I could find on T.V. What the heck, I'm addicted. In fact, the Imperia Story would make quite a film...let's see - international intrigue - love stories - internet intrique (my space) - allegations of criminal activity (please note I said ALLEGATIONS).
I have been a voice for patience for a long time...and STILL think its wrong to make accusations with out all the facts in evidence. I am saddened...the whole Imperia concept was beautiful...and, in view of many of the folks who bought into it, I'm not the only one who was impressed with the concept. I guess all that remains to be done is watch how everything shakes out. If James was still in he and Ken would probably just quash this as a riduclous rumor. Good luck to everyone...at least we get to watch an amazing show (I just could have gotten the drama a little cheaper)
Just my thoughts
When someone finds out what is going on, I would really like to know...I've been hanging out with Imperia for a while...it is so sad to see how little response there is to the buzz about SIIR coming out...When I recall what happend just before All That I Need came out and compare it to now...how sad...With the dumping the price has gone a bit down today...but we don't see the rock dropping to the bottom of the ocean as we saw a couple months ago...perhaps a little support...if you take a look at the technicals over the last month and a half, it would only be an anticipated minor correction...how wonderful it would be if we could see this connected to a machine that was running well...yep...I'd REALLY like to hear what is really going on...if someone out there has news (verified, of course!) please pass it along...
just my thoughts - good luck to everyone
Your point is well taken..I con't blame folks either...many of us are bloodied and bruised...I just wish I would have bought at 2 cents instead of about 45 cents pre reverse split...ouch! Because my investment is now so rediculously small compared to what it was I see little point in selling now...it would be great if these welcome signs porended a turn around as the birds are doing for spring here in Michigan. Good luck to everyone...
Just some thoughts
That's exactly what I said a few days ago...the technicals have looked good for a month and now they look fabulous...If the Final Final Final etc. copy of SIIR comes out...and there is no dilution, and no other funny things (I know that sounds like a lot to many people on this board) - I may just make back some of the money I lost..and I hope the same for a lot of others out there who have lost lots too. My wife wouldn't let me buy any more (and I don't blame her) but I sort of wish I would have bought more at 2. Barring wierd stuff (and I know we've all seen it) I expect to see some nice gains within three months...just some thoughts
Speaking of SIIR...has anyone heard any news? Would love to hear about it
Take a look at the technicals over the last month...support all the way - definately upward...now if only...if only they sold SIIR and no wierd tricks were pulled...I know it sounds like a lot...but I'm holding on - it doesn't seem to make sense to sell with such a loss...I believe it has more of a chance to go up than down at this point, excluding the dangerous possiblities already mentioned...I'm going to have to go to a dollar to break even - been with this crazy thing for so long. I know it sounds crazy, but I'm sort of impressed Imperia hasn't bit the dust yet...just my thoughts...
A "Film Out" would be quite welcome! I've lost so much money with this crazy thing, and it is now worth so little, it makes no sense to sell the thousands of shares I have so I'm hanging on. Actually, the technicals look very good over the past month. I'm aware that technicals can not always be reliably applied to penny (or sub-penny! LOL!) stocks. But if the news on SIIR is true, and in view of the charts lining up very nicely, this would actually be a very good time to buy. Certainly, it is dependent on dilution, sales by "angels" and the like. Please let me know where you got the information on the proposed film out. There is no reason for me to sell any of the now paltry investment I have. If there is a good chance the the film is actually going to get rolled out, I may even buy a few more shares...just some thoughts....
Thanks for the information...sure I was looking forward to Berlin...but I'd rather have quality than something slapped together..but I wish I wasn't regarded as a "day trader"...I started with Imperia at around 40 cents myself (pre reverse split 40 cents) I really appreciate you sending information from Ken - it would be great having such info placed on the IPRE site - just some thoughts.....
Thanks J-Rhino...it certainly would increase the value..I was pleased with the camera work I saw in the trailer
So..we are going to Berlin...There are to be buyers there...
Will Imperia's "Distribution Arm" be doing some marketing campaigns? Does anyone out there know how the process will work? I'd like a chance to actually see some of Imperia's work out here in the hinterlands of the Midwest (Detroit area)
On those Muller Shares...sure, I'm willing to wait - but, does anyone who is "more in the know" have any news?
Hi J-Rhino!
That's interesting!...I visit this post to get what information I can find in between lots of other stuff and I would be very interested in hearing where I might find that PR. I keep telling my wife that we'll make back some of our money...if the camera work is of that caliber, it bodes well. Have I heard some members might be in Berlin next month?
Hi tenac...
I'm not fond of liars, thiefs, and the like either. I just want to make sure I'm understanding you....are you saying James and Ken are liars because they talked about taking SIIR to the Sundance Festival? I clearly remember them saying they were TRYING to get in...but if they didn't they had contingeny plans. Sure, I was dissapointed they didn't get in...but I didn't feel like to in this instance. Now, if they don't screen in Berlin..I might join you in the insurrection...I'm just not there yet...maybe you weren't talking about Sundance - in which case I'll just say "I'm sorry, I missunderstood you"
About those dividends...yes, I'd like to get mine too... but at the price of Muller right now...not having those dividends right now is not keeping me up at night. If anyone has some definate news on the dividends I'd be very interested in reading a post...has anyone written James about it?
True...if Imperia had been as successful as many of us hoped it would be at this point we wouldn't be throwing these ideas around. Once again...I'm not trying to argue...just share my ideas and explain where they come from...I hope we all make back some of our money...and hey, who knows...maybe even realize some of the hopes we had...
Well...we are both in agreement we'd like to see the stock price be higher LOL! Hey...I'm hoping for good stuff for you too
Well...we are both in agreement we'd like to see the stock price be higher LOL! Hey...I'm hoping for good stuff for you too
That's exactly what I meant by the lynch mob mentality butter and jelly...such accusations as suggested by joro can sound SO convincing...and they can have some downright bad consequences in real life. I guess I would have gotten out that cattle prod before...but I've had folks try to put one to me...and they were really convinced they were doing right...being on the other end has given me a bit of my perspective...
Thanks for responding to me with your thoughts wweeaazz. You express your ideas eloquently and you certainly have right to do this. Actually, I've been reading your comments - and joro's - and many others all along. I'm in Imperia LONG before last May. It's just that I respectfully see things in a different light. Some of the things you have written (as well as others) have caused me no little concern. I just haven't been convinced of the heinous plotting you feel you clearly see. So, sure, I don't see things quite like you do...but I'm willing to talk, agree, disagree, and comiserate about our loss, etc. with you in respect
Salient Point!
Thank-you for highlighting this!
Listen, I'm upset about loosing what is a lot of money for me too...I understand this..and I was on board back before Imperia was Imperia. I have not seen substantiated evidence that James or Ken have been dishonest. I've had people in my employ that I have fired start rumors about me. I've had people accuse me of things in professional situations that were untrue...and then use all kinds of "evidence" to "prove" their points. Lynch Mob mentality is historically inaccurate. Could James' "My Space" article be more professional and mature? Probably. But what is wrong with having a My Space Presence? I just heard a radio interview Sunday on N.P.R. One of the principles in the Detroit Symphony seems to have a similar presence. Is it bad to have a Yahoo e-mail? Then I'm bad...(I'm a clergy person as well as a college instructor in psychology and ethics) Can a young company fall on hard times? Actually, most don't make it as far as Imperia! Anyone is welcome to their opinion, of course. I'm not attacking anyone....just sharing some of my opinion. It's interesting that after all the bashing and nitpicking (some of it maybe even understandable in pain) Nothing has been turned up that would kick these guys into court or convince me that they were as diabolical as some think. Now, if something turns up that PROVES they have been the nepharious devils some hold them up to be - give me a cattle prod so I can torture them too. But I've been condemned without merit also and I'm not willing to do it. I know some folks out there disagree with me. Please remember, I'm not attacking anyone...just sharing some thoughts. Hang in there. My eyes are on Berlin. And yes, I agree - it better be there.
I appreciate the information too...
While it might not qualify for due diligience, I was interested to find that our "New Vice President" is not all that new to Imperia...He's one of the producers of SIIR and is especially affiliated with Muller...yes, I'd like to get those dividends too sometime..
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0386693/combined
Not only that...I found someone else I recognized in the cast...Lee Meriwether...if anyone else had a crush on "Catwoman" in the 1960s that is going to ring a bell..LOL! Former Miss America - not too bad.
It's good to hear about SIIR again,,,I'm more interested in it right now than NS...(not to take away interest in that project too, of course)
I really appreciate any information anyone has - and I especially appreciate those who give information, not inference
It is my understanding (limited though it is) that there is difference between being in competition and screening...you want to get together and send someone from our group on a junket in Berlin?
Thanks!
I thought I heard they were definately going to be in Berlin this year....Have I heard correctly? If not.......
Thank-you for your post Cindy
Well - the solstice now is past making SIIR officialy late. After that last pounding - 3 cents seems to be the upward resistance. I'm one of those guys who has lost in the thousands, so sure - I understand folk's frustration and downright pain. I'm trying to be rational though. Why would anybody try to pass themselves off as Cindy on this board? There IS a real Cindy and she would probably not abide anyone pulling that. I had the same thoughts when people were saying there was no SIIR. Is Faye D. going to sit around with folks saying she is in a movie she is not in. I still remember her from the 60s..and am impressed to see that, though not the huge star today that she was - she has been continuously working for 40 years - a real working actress!
When we human beings hurt or experience loss - we sometimes loose a little of our rational bearings. That includes me and I would understand it happening to anyone else. I have seen no hard evidence that James or Ken have deliberately tried to deceive. It would definately been better had Ken said that those sitting on those special shares could cash them in after a year ahead of time. That's why I sure hope we can make some hay before NEXT May. God knows what could happen with MORE dilution.
I don't know squat about MMA fighting. But from what I can gather - Cindy does. She seems sort of excited about this. It would not make sense to sell what is now my ridiculously small investment - what the hell do I have to loose? Some of James web presence stikes me as a little young, I'll admit - but I'm an old guy and this does not make him dishonest. He probably knows more abut film making than business. The time I wrote him months ago - just after the reverse split was discussed - he answered me cordially. Now Cindy, as one who knows, is talking "blockbuster" No, I'm not holding my breath...but I have nothing better to do than try to recoup from the little I have in this. To those who agree with me and those who don't - Happy Holidays (Merry Christmas for my family) to you all. Maybe if James and Ken get something besides sticks and coal in their stockings they might feel induced to keep plodding along until something goes really right with Imperia. It couldn't hurt any of us at this point. So, what the hell - Merry Christas to you too James and Ken & now to Cindy (That hotel bill was a cool move!)
Going Down Again...can't even begin to think of a place of support for technicals
Maybe Berlin will help us recoup a bit...doesn't even make a great deal of sense to sell what is now my pittance
...Hang in there, and, if I may wish it to everybody - Happy New Year...Saying it "in Russian" - S Novum Godum...I love your greetings! I needed a laugh!
Up to .024 after being .013 an hour or so ago...are we seeing a dead cat bounce or has the dilution exhaused itself? Either way - with those prefered shares getting converted we "normal folks" will never have the potential we once had Have we turned a corner or just rested on our way down? It just won't mean as much. I've gotten to know lots of good folks out there. Luckily, my loss (big for me) won't send me to the poor house and my wife is fabulously understanding - I wish there was some way to encourage those who are taking the bullet more painfully than us. A while back when Imperia was offering their special invetment opportunity, I thought I would enquire. Though the offer was a bit rich for my blood, I did get lots of information from the company which am sure would be required by law...turns out there are officially only two employees of Imperia - Ken & James. I still think this whole concept was great. Maybe that makes me a little more sad...yes, I like money...but please, no porn - just my thoughts, of course you are welcome to yours whatever they may be...hang in there everyone - hope your holidays hold lots of good stuff.
.013....I'm sitting here watching this drop like a rock..
How can this be? I think I know the answer...but still ask the question....I bought when it was 46 cents...BEFORE the reverse split....the Imperia concept was so good...must be something else
Thanks Insanity - You mean the Belin Festival at 1, Marlene-Dietrich Platz coming up in February? Hey - I really AM impressed...maybe I'll borrow a little from my paycheck this week to give our family a small Christmas present - it certainly can't be worse than the Michigan Lottery that my wife keeps joking about entering.
I'm not the most savvy trader out there...but I have learned from this experience - don't trade penny stocks on technical info...with last May's breakout (mirroring the year before's) we would all have been frippin gazzilionares. Thanks for bringing in a bit of the fundamental light as we meander through this dark forest. Say hi to the guys at the company...from a guy who would like to be and is looking for reasons to be supportive.
LOL Faster! My wife has been pretty good so far - but I did have to swear that I wouldn't put any more of our savings into Imperia and I'd just rather keep her than get rich...and, if it keeps going as it is - having her would be MUCH better than Imperia stock.
Did I sound positive chain? Sure - I'm positive about the whole Imperia Idea and SIIR - but am feeling more than a bit discouraged seeing what has happened to, what for me, is a lot of money.
I checked the Ann Arbor film festival - I'm near by..and it looks like we are not in there either..this really hurts when other films, with such inauspicious names as "A Boy Blowing His Nose On A Dock" (Serious! - A real name of a film being shown there!)are included..
Other places it might be shown in the U.S. were listed in a stockholder letter a while back which I'm copying here:
Santa Barbara International
Film Festival, the Cinequest Film Festival, The Florida Film Festival,
the Nashville Film Festival, the Ann Arbor Film Festival and the Palm
Springs International Film Festival
Does anyone know any place we may be seen?
Hang in there everybody...from a comrade sharing the pain
My Sincere apologies Thermite...I guess I need to learn to spell names correctly - sorry.
I miss hearing news about SIIR. Yes. all this Never Submit stuff is great...but I have been hyped up for seeing SIIR for about a year and a half...now, nothing...Now that we are not in Sundance, I hope James will send a few reports about what IS happening
SIIR - what a stellar cast. For those who may make disparaging remarks about Ms. Gotova...may I respectfully mention her considerable credentials...she has LOTS of experience in Russia and lots of class too..on top of that, she is a Russian Woman (like my wife) It is not a good idea to cross Ruskia Ghenshena! Just a word to the wise..LOL
Still, I share the misery of many on this board... with some faint hope that SIIR gets a good showing...just think - if my stock goes up 20 times in value, I'll break even!!!! If the stock had done only half of what it did last year when All That I Need came out (and this is what I've been thinking about)I could pay off my house - seriously!
This is my last post allowed for today...so, goodnight to everybody - though I'm not holding my breath - I'm hoping for all of us. For me, at least, it doesn't make sense to sell the pittance I have left. Spokoi Noich
Your point is well taken Termite....
Still...until the winter Solstice, it still is Autumn, here in Michigan at least. The lateness of the opening is not what troubles me...I remember lots of great films - Cleopatra being one (a long time ago..true)- that have been delayed...
I remember reading of a "December" showing offered for SIIR...
But this recent plunge has taken a bit of my breath away...
this does not seem ordinary....this does seem disturbing
Yes....I checked the Sundance list yesterday..
Unfortunately, we did not get in...this may be some of the downward movement....Maybe it will make the Ann Arbor Festival and I can see it here in Michigan..
I've had stock since Soliel Films...I've lost lots of money...what a shame...Still, I am so impressed with the cast line up...My wife and daughter are Russian..my daughter grew up watching Agata on Russian T.V....sort of like a Soviet Annette Funacelo...but I never saw Annette in shots like that..LOL!
I've been reading this board for quite some time...about time I chipped in...
