Check out new FB post.
New FB Album uploaded about Tesla.
This just proves what theyre saying with cleaning up the FB page and making it more about fans and such, dudes.
They have said in the past they read this from time to time, but that conversation was days ago. So I highly doubt it had anything to do with it.
Especially since he just responded to someone on FB saying:
Given that combined between the big investors here and on the FB fan page, we own over 3 billion, your guess would be way off as usual.
MMs can trade shares they dont own. Your boss should probably explain how he scams the system.
Duh dude. They have stated it is a residence a bajillion times. You rather have $10k a month in rent being wasted? Seriously get a clue.
New FB post just burned you dude.
Bennyboy just posted a new photo of their office. It is huge.
Benny not only doesnt work out of a basement clearly as we can see windows, but 4 people work there including him.
Some new guy listed named Rob.
Seriously bad DD there.
If you want to see if someone has movie credits all you have to do is Check IMDB
Thia backs up his exec prod credits, and he would have been in charge of far more that wouldn't have given credits at funimation but still be huge experience wise.
He would have tons of network and distribution contacts in the animation world especially for instance.
Isen and Aimee have a ton of experience in movie land but not any real animation or TV that I can see. So Chris brings a lot to the table in areas they don't have from what I can see.
He is also forgetting Benny has additional 5 million preferred shares which value to 500 million.
Same for Mark.
Youre assuming dude. You werent here back when they didnt even have notes and MMs were playing games with shares they didnt even have way back then.
There are people who can sell shares they dont have for like 0004 and then drive down to 0003 or 0002 to cover. Those arent converted note holders and aint a damn thing Benny can do about them.
A buyback would cost at current price $1.2 million to take 3 billion shares off the market.
But thats not what they would get it for.
Cuz the instant they started the PPS would go up almost exponentially.
All told it would probably go something like...
20 million shares for .0004
20 million shares for .0005
20 million for .0006
and so on and then start jumping higher, faster...
Quick calculations puts the cost over $7 million conservatively to do as you propose.
And thats before they launch.
After they launch and realize profits we should hit by even conservative estimates $0.01 at say half a point tick per 3 million shares, that would cost them over $15 million!
I would rather them spend that money on more movies and expansion.
They put out 4 #0 issues last year for Free Comic Book Day which is an international event. They were like 100k each for a total of 400k and still sell well on eBay as they were like immensely popular.
Then they gave away an additional 25k of each issue for a total of 100k at San Diego Comic-Con last year of the same books.
Then this year they did Giant-Size #1 featuring Markiplier which they gave away at San Diego this year for a total of like 50k and those have sold like crazy on eBay as well.
I also sent you a link to their shop which has collected volumes of their online stuff. I dont remember how many they sold exact but I remember back in old Qs when they were doing nonstop on the Web they were making like $50k or something a quarter selling them.
When they suspended webcomics production and working on giant-size the sales have gone waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay down but thats to be expected.
Guessing this is one of the cool unexpected deals Benny mentioned.
You might try actually reading the comics and looking at the Art. They are by established artists who worked on Xmen, Deadpool, Superman, etc. and I see shadows galore so not sure wtf you're talking about dude.
No they don't have mike Mignola but they do have:
Larry Hama - guy who created GI Joe characters (all of them) and wrote the entire run. Also defined Wolverine with the longest writing job of that series ever which the movies have based all their stories off of.
Brian Augustyn - who redefined The Flash which is completely being used as source material for the TV series
Elaine Lee - one of the top female writers in comics with credits like Prince Valiant. Her own series Starstruck she created was turned into an off Broadway play to much acclaim. And that ain't cheap.
Mort Castle - Bram Stoker award winner and that's no joke.
And that's just for starters. Expect bigger and bigger names.
All their artists are marvel or DC guys as well.
Yes they have a ton of comics already out in both physical and digital form. And they are quite good.
Go to Red Giant Online store
Or visit Corporate site with a list of their comics
This includes most as Webcomics on keenspot
Or you can Watch their first movie on Hulu
And you can learn about Just how powerful Markiplier is here
That's just a fraction of the DD on this very real company
New response on FB:
I disagree on what you say is the original problem. But to say that you think I am a cheerleader without any criticism. You're wrong there as well. Let me remind and expand some of my many criticisms of the company.
I can point all the way back to the original VM pump as the original problem for everything.
Seems like big red have been dealing with fallout of that crap ever since.
They lost their $5 million S1 because of it which would have never led to notes or dilution for instance and given them all the financing they would have needed to launch.
The notes have been like eating celery. It takes more calories to chew celery than you gain from eating it.
Same with the notes. It seems like the money they gained ends up barely sustaining the company and they limped along.
Is it managements fault? Yes. They could have done an early reverse for instance when they saw someone pumping them that would have killed a pump and dump from whoever was doing it and saved everything.
But I dont think benny or the rest are that knowledgable on stock market and seem to have been learning on the job. Thats where I am critical.
Theyre comic book and movie creators not wall street wizards. I personally hope they get some money and get a real CEO, CFO, etc in place.
But until then I have to judge the company as a creative company. Are the comics and properties they have any good?
Yes. Theyre damn good comics and properties.
Next I think like, is the concept and business plan of doing free comics with ad revenue a good one?
It is absolutely brilliant. Genius really. I think Benny is a smart man but maybe not the best CEO or CFO. If he had some wall street guru on board, that would be different. I truly hope they get there.
So I ask myself, is it worth the risk? For me and many here it is.
If youre the only one saying something maybe the world isnt wrong, but you are.
Me I look at it as common sense and frankly encouraging.
They are telling us something hurt a recent negotiation and theyre fixing it to keep it from hurting others.
They could have simply deleted a bunch of comments or banned a bunch of people. But they didnt. They told us in advance why and that they are cleaning up their social media presence to be more business friendly.
Thats big of them.
But you want to act like a petulant child and stomp your feet cuz youre likely one of the negative nancy culprits caught with their hand in the cookie jar.
Get over it and grow up. A business social page being moderated for business purposes is nothing new and seems long overdue if you ask me.
If you want to complain about anything you should complain that they didnt do this sooner! If they had maybe they wouldnt have lost out on whatever it was.
The massive selloffs as mentioned in FB post are a big toxic suck that hit everything.
Obviosuly some note holder was biding their time to get the absolute lowest price since June and jumped. So if they had converted in June everything would have been 4x less. Making 500 million shares only 125million.
Toxic note holders are sharks.
He didnt say what deals were hurt he just said some deals.
So dont assume.
Also youre glossing over this:
He just said that negative crap hurts as they finalize stuff.
To which I say "duh"
Seriously you guys think that companies trying to work with big red dont check out their Facebook comments?
Then you want to bitch about it when he says theyre going to begin censoring and why?
Use some common sense dudes.
It is rather strange cuz this isn't a pump and dump company. It has had its follies but it exists and has real products you can buy unlike most.
What it makes is cool with tons of potential. The current pps is a joke if even one of the many things said to be coming pan out.
But all investing has risk. Not trying to get you or anyone to invest. Just explaining the reason for chatter and enthusiasm vs other fake penny stocks.
Lack of insider skin in the game?
You and dukey boy (possibly same person with two names spreading same lies) both point to an article so riddled with holes and false info to support your bashing stance. That's one level of silly.
But to say "no skin in the game" (which is also not true since both benny and Mark have put in over $350k this year alone) is hypocritical coming from someone who in the very same post admits that you also have no skin in the game.
You want to do DD, fine. Do it based on real facts not false info.
You want to make jabs. Do it on real facts not false info.
There are tons of facts to complain or debate about dude. But you and dukey insist on doing a pisspoor job of finding facts. This is why you come across as shills or paid bashers. Nobody takes you guys seriously cuz you run your mouths off so poorly.
Am I the only one who thinks the video production quality was leaps and bounds better than ever?
We had a cool animated intro. Segways between each section. Audio was clearer than ever. Lighting wasn't washed out like before. Benny didn't um every five seconds and seemed happy and alive for once. He and Dave seem to be on the same page.
Even the backdrop looked awesome. Loved the REDG pictures on the walls!
So much better than cats running around and globes or whatever. Water cooler was an odd choice but I'm guessing part of their offices. But you can tell this is an office and not someone's basement as past bashes suggested.
Holy crapballz, markiplier just passed 9 million subscribers now!
He just passed 8 million a little over a month ago!!!!!!!!!
That is insane!
I dont know that it is MMs playing. I am betting a lot of us put in big bids pre market at 0003. If 10 peeps alone bought in that 90 mill only amounted to $2700 each.
What I would love is if some MM didnt have those shares to sell and they will now have to cover. Or at the very least if we are seein gthe last of the conversions being snagged up and then we can soar.
Maybe someone better than me will use that and add to the other DD and we can update our info page. Cuz it seems like we got a lot of good numbers people are missing.
Was that a spaceballs reference?
Nice!
Exactly. Most in penny land just are like "screw you guys and your questions. Give us your money or go away."
And I havent seen people screaming "he missed my question" yet which is always a good sign in my book, bro.
Also props for them not deleting kirak's rant and the way they answered. Kirak is coming of as Kirazy and they corrected a lot of his wrong assessments.
Its a great way to address any other people who took things that way imho.
Like they said in the video they just dont want to discuss buying and selling shares because they cant without possibly getting in troubly by papa SEC and mama FINRA. That makes sense.
And yeah it makes a crapton of sense to say "dont harsh the vibe" on FB page and scare off partners and advertisers. Kirak took offense to common sense? Seriously dude?
But even tho they dont like the negative stuff they dont delete them. Thats pretty stand up.
It all made sense to me.
Yea would have loved partner names and announcements. But that wouldn't be in a video announcement.
He also told us a bunch of stuff he didn't have to. The reduction in circulation didn't have to be revealed until it happened. And we would be none the wiser. And we would simply see oh well they had less than we hoped but still good revenue and no bad reaction.
But instead they tell us months in advance to expect it. That's transparency I like.
That's why I liked his answer on grade yourself as CEO question. He said basically wait for launch and then us grade him. He isn't advocating words. He is saying proof is in the pudding.
Several new revenue streams explained that kirak skipped over in his pissy comments:
1) the native advertising are for 4-5 pages each. That means if they have 3-4 of these partners that's like 20 out of 35 ads right there. Benny said like 18 is profit.
2) the native ads spawn ongoing series with revenue projections in 3 years of $20 million for each! So $80 million with four partners!!! That's bigger than GSL!!!
3) the new mint deal he mentioned is above and beyond GSL and some new distribution platform they were approached at SDCC
4) Markiplier comic line will be worth big bank!
5) adding Netflix, Amazon instant video, iTunes, Vudu and more to digital video distribution
6) new digital ap that has ad sales and direct sales components to it. Never been done before folks. This would make their platform better than Comixology! As probably only one of us to have that ap let me explain dudes. Comixology was the #2 most profitable non game app on iTunes for years! Then they were bought out for some huge sum. Now to get comics on their app it is a pain in the @$$ dudes. You have to buy it on amazon instead of directly in the app! This has made the app awful. So REDG now has a platform that will allow us to read comics for free with ads (they make money on) or buy directly? I can totally see this going beyond just red giant and having everyone else join as well!!! That could dwarf giant size line in revenue dudes!
Go back under the bridge, troll.
Not a single thing you said was true and you've been proven wrong.
But arguing with the town fool only makes two, so you're just back on ignore.
Duke every one of your posts has been wrong.
You cant point to one post youve made that is correct, dude.
And it was restricted for six months until they convert. Thus 144. But your bashing bosses know this. Maybe they dont clue you in.
Sorry Tlsmd, but "dumb" is the one thing that Duke happens to be an expert on.
Ignore duke, the rest of us do. He pulls numbers out of his butt that even the most recent Q shows not to be true. But he wont let things like facts get in the way of his bashing.
Nobody takes what you say seriously. He may have damaged credibility but he has at least been proven right a few times. You're batting zero dude.
You're worse than a blind squirrel
Yup it's a pink but at least it has a real and valid plan (factoring) to escape the toxic crap.
Not happy with where we are at nor apologizing for them. But it isn't what others are projecting and I hate misinformation.
If benny says all the notes have converted out then all it would take is a quick call to the transfer agents to find out the current outstanding shares are. Then youd see facts instead of your usual chicken little impression.
