Can you change your "meaningless signature".
Just kidding.

Well put. That is probably what has to happen and also will be a much larger RS like 1:1,000,000. That would be living in the real world. Again ...won't be worth anything now, it's just to get us to hang on.

Exactly .... wonder which town he is in. I've made 8 trips to home depot in Roseburg, Or. today, bought $89,000.oo worth of lumber, and left 3 wallets on the hood of my truck during every visit. The wallets were always there when I came out of the store.
Anyone need enough lumber to build a house? My front yard is full of lumber.

Haven't seen anyone comment on this part?
"We anticipate that we would probably be in a positive cash flow probably by '08 at the latest," Winick said.
TFN won't have a positive cash flow until (Probably) 08? We own 20% of a company that is still in the red. How can BKMP give a cash div. when they don't have cash from their largest venture company?
We may own a part of TFN through our BKMP div.(and that we don't know yet) but I don't think we have anyting of any value at the time. It would be like tipping your paper boy $20.oo when you can't afford to pay your news paper bill of $5.oo.
I bought into BKMP in the hopes they will make a growing company within 2 to 3 years. Like buying Microsoft at $1.oo.
Reading allot of the posts I can't see why some of the people think this will happen overnight. I too have dreams but I don't live on Fantasy Island.
I read that it is going to take until at least 08 for our company to make money. I alredy knew that and that is why I'm long. I think our CEO also stated that the div. could take as long as a month for all of the dust to settle. I think I've also heard every brokerage run down on the board. I've been very happy with Scottrade and I don't think we will know much about what the div. are for from any brokerage for another 2 to 3 weeks.
Looks like most on the board are like me and check in every day. Let's remember a company can't move as fast as we can. If TFN and BKMP do make it through all of the hoops they have to jump through to become a sound company, I'm sure it will be at least the end of 08 before we can go WHEEW....Glad I Stuck With Them.
I appreciate all of the info. and updates posted on the board. You all are great. Let's give BKMP a breather to let them get their job done. Yes I will sell to get my original investment back (if ever) but the rest will be for the long haul. Just a small investor here, 6,600,000 shares bought at .0005 to .0007 and will be buying more and holding at this price cause I just believe in these guys.

Sirius Satellite Radio (SIRI - news - Cramer's Take): "Somebody launched a bear raid against Sirius today [with rumors that Howard Stern would return to regular radio] . ... Mel [CEO Karmazin] himself is assuring me that that is not going to happen ... This stock is going to trade 3-4, 3-4, until Mel picks up the phone [and calls XM about a merger] ."
Just noticed my actual post times are 3 hours ahead of the time I post. Post at 8:00 PM in Oregon and it shows posted on Ihub at 11:00 PM.
We are a little slow here in Oregon so I like that speed.
Speaking of slow.....JAMES, pull your head out!!
What were your dreams when you were a lad? When you got close to having your dreams come true, did you think you would ever have to lie, cheat and do things that you know you shouldn't do in order to have your dreams come true?
Go back to the basics James. Don't try to do what the big boys do. Stick with your dreams and what you set out to do. If you are good, ya don't have to tell anyone. They will see for themselves.
Looks like you have been coached and got some candy thrown to you by some people that want to take your profits as they kill your dreams.
Take a walk in the woods and pretend you are a kid again. How would you like people to think about you and your dreams.
Ya got allot of crow to eat and allot of explain'in to do. That's what real men are made of. Think Happy Thoughts

Our IPRE is doing a R/S. BKMP has stated they will not do that. I own both and will bet on BKMP to make some cash long before the CEO of IPRE does if ever, with his tricks. BKMP has been 100% up front so far. Ducks are all in a row.
Good Luck To Us All :)
I stand corrected. You are right.... I was thinking of my Hewitt account.
Scottrade does allow mill. shares to be traded online.
Happy Trails
Better do BKMP first. CEO is lining things up for a run around November. :)
Happy Trails
I trade Pinks online with Scottrade. Can only trade 999,999 shares at a time online. If I trade more I call them to make the trade for me and they always wave the broker's fee as their site won't allow a trade over 999,999 shares.
I have had Scottrade for a year and have been very happy with them. Great online service here in Roseburg, Oregon.
Happy Trails
BKMP is poised for for great things. Good CEO getting things in line.
Better than a Trifecta. here we go..................

Is anyone out there? We will soon be at a higher high.

Sirius
By Tim Hanson (TMF Mmbop)
September 13, 2006
Let me get this out of the way right now: I'm neither short XM Satellite Radio (Nasdaq: XMSR) nor long Sirius Satellite Radio (Nasdaq: SIRI). But before we get to who is long and short on those stocks, let's set the stage, shall we?
It's one of the hottest questions among growth investors: XM or Sirius? Sirius has Stern; XM has Major League Baseball. XM just got upgraded by Bear Stearns; Sirius just found out that Ford (NYSE: F) would be cutting production and thereby decreasing the number of radios that will be installed in its vehicles. Sirius CEO Mel Karmazin has been buying; XM insiders are squabbling. XM has more subscribers; Sirius has better growth rates. Neither, of course, has any profits.
So who thinks Sirius is a buy and XM is a sell?
Without further ado ...
That investor goes by the handle dberson100. Who's dberson100? I have no idea, other than that he (or she) is a fairly high-rated investor in our Motley Fool CAPS database. What's CAPS? It's a community-intelligence database that ranks investors and their picks -- a system that helps us determine the best investors and the best stocks to buy.
And the community seems to agree with dberson100. Just take a look at the numbers.

Data from Motley Fool CAPS, as of market close Sept. 8, 2006.
While 64% of investors think XM is a winner going forward, consider that 74% of the best-rated investors -- a rating based on pick accuracy and market outperformance -- have called XM a clear-cut loser. The sentiment for Sirius, however, is quite different. On CAPS, 76% of investors think Sirius is a winner, as do 63% of our All-Stars.
What are the reasons for these differing opinions? Content and growth rates. While CAPS investors haven't posted many positive things about either company's financial statements, the Sirius bulls never tire of pointing out that their content is better and that their company is growing faster. XM bulls, on the other hand, don't really have much to say at all. While they agree that satellite radio is a phenomenal technology, they don't seem as sold on XM the company. Call it a sector play, in other words, uninspired as it may be.
Well put. Filter the bad and adsorb the good. Passes the time while we watch our $$$$$ grow. And yes there are many helpful posters here!!

I would also think if webprods had that much clout and knowledge... he could find someone to translate or type for him to help him spread his advise.
Been following this and just had to add my 2 cents. Reminds me of an internet game my son plays.

You don't understand how James works. Read his report again. He will be working on a new project after SIIR is released and won't have enough $$$$$$ from SIIR to support his new ventures. We will have to do another RS. That's what us stockholders are for in his eyes.
Where is the $$$$$$ from all of his finished tasks?
Happy Trails
If you were mugged and robbed would you support the poor guy if he said he won't do it again?
Happy Trails
Yup and where is all the $$$$ income from his finished projects he lists. Does he do them for free and make his shareholders suffer? He didn't explain that very well.
Happy Trails
Thanks for the good luck. Would have bailed with you but I can't afford such a big tax write off.
Happy Trails
Most excellent.... Great Post !!
Too bad we can't all knock on his door like that.
Too bad for James....Started out so good but after we helped get him get going with his dreams, he started hanging with a bad crowd.
Wonder if he is doing drugs now with the rest of the Hollywood wanabies?
Happy Trails
More good news !!

S&P Raises Sirius Rating Outlook
© 2006 The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Standard & Poor's Ratings Services on Tuesday increased its outlook for Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. debt to "positive," citing the company's growing subscription base.
Standard & Poor's also affirmed Sirius' credit ratings, including the "CCC" rating on the company's corporate debt. Under S&P's system, "CCC" indicates a high risk for default, also known as "junk" grade debt. S&P said Sirius had about $1.1 billion in debt as of June 30.
The outlook, which had been "stable," indicates the direction in which the ratings may move.
Sirius is the second-largest satellite radio operator behind XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. But Sirius, which began broadcasting shock jock Howard Stern in January, has closed the gap in the past six months, signing up new subscribers at a faster rate than XM.
After a 64 percent increase in net subscribers in the second quarter, Sirius boosted its full-year target to 6.3 million subscribers. Meanwhile, XM revised its subscriber target downward to between 7.7 million and 8.2 million, citing a soft retail market and product compliance issues.
Sirius shares rose 8 cents, or 2 percent, to $3.98 in recent trading on the Nasdaq.

From what I understand you have to buy on or before the 12th. Three days before the 15th.
Yup... I opened a Custodian account for my 17 year old son a month ago with Scottrade. He put $500.oo in and told me he was only investing on the big board and not pink sheets.
He has $80.oo that isn't invested and today told me he was buying $80.oo in Pinks before Tue. He wasn't too shocked when I asked him if he was going with BKMP.
Watch out guys and girls for the big block buy if he can get in at .007 on Monday.
Told him to buy and turn his computer off for a year and come back then, and check his BKMP....Yea right, he gets frustrated because the markets aren't open on Sat. and Sun. He gets out of bed on his own now. :)
Happy Trails
Wouldn't that be great!! We could even have a beer after 12:00 noon. :)
Dreams do come true.... guess that's what keeps us going.

I'll hold 75% long but we are all here for the $ aren't we. Even BKMP. BKMP is my lottery ticket as with most of us small investors. As long as they stay on track with their duties and share holders, we and the company will do fine.
It's up to the CEO. Think we have a very good crew running this ship and we are about to cruise the world!!
Just now got the arrow out of my back from IPRE. What a sad story... had everyting going for them and they let a Stock Lawyer run the company instead of the person that cared and started the company.
There will always be flippers in the Pink Sheets. Got a gut feeling that our crew has just found a way to steer our ship right into the shark's flippers and we are about to watch the flippers float away as the sharks sink. :)
Happy Trails
I see what you mean. Pinkies are a chore aren't they. Guess if it was easy, we would all be rich and not typing at a keyboard.
Happy Trails :)
What makes you think they want to reward longs? Buy BKMP before Tue. and you get 10,000 for 1 Spin Off shares. Don't have to be long to reap that. Go BKMP........
