Personally been holding since OCT and want to get out at this level and get the DIV. I WANT MY CAKE AND EAT IT TOO!
True dat. Thanks eom
Thanks Bull! I understand those concepts, just still confused why IVOI PR's that you must OWN on the 14th, which I understand is 3 business days after the ex-div date and also coincides with settlement date for funds on trades. If I sell today, the funds of the trade won't settle until the 14th, but does that equate to being an owner of IVOI on the 14th. The PR says must OWN! Maybe I'm splitting hairs, just don't want to sell and miss the shares. Don't want to hold through the next plunge down to .0015. Why do the PR's NOT mention ex-div date (It is assumed by experienced traders I guess) but they continually stress the importance of owning on the 14th, does that mean holding on the 14th or not? Sorry beating the dead horse now..
So what about today's sellers. Divy or no? Considered an OWNER of IVOI as of the 14th if I sell today or not?
In order to receive shares in Thomas Pharmaceuticals, you must own shares of iVoice, Inc. on the record date of November 14, 2007.
From the link on the previous post. So what, if any, is the difference between OWNING on the 14th and being ON RECORD on the 14th. Same thing? Different? If you sell today, do you show as on record AND as owning IVOI on the 14th??? Is it just all word play to pump the price by confusing investors? I have heard all manner of various opinions about this, from this board. Forbes article previously posted is good explanation but says nothing of the requirement to OWN shares on the record date. I'm calling Delores....
It would make sense to hold through today's close for the DIV, IMO.
So today is the Ex-Dividend date right? So if you hold today, you're "locked in" for the Div? It would seem, according to the PR that you must hold through beginning on the ex date and through the record date of the 14th. I would expect to see buying as today is the crucial day to get in on the free shares. Also, if you must only be on record today, do flippers get "locked in"? Or is it necessary to hold through the close. I admit, I am one confused Newb. Comments anyone?
--1.00 on the bid, w/.0001 on the ask spells trouble methinks. Gllk holders speak up, what is going on here??
Help a Newb! What does that mean for the stock right now, and does it have anything to do with the sudden rush of volume?
About 15 mil in about 3 minutes. Bid is gone, oh snap, not again!
Sudden Huge Sells, another R/S on the way or what?
So far looks like they are following through with the div. announcement. I have no reason to believe they won't issue the dividend shares as published based on IVOI history of completing spin-off dividends. GLTY
REMINDER: There has been a company update EVERY SINGLE MONTH since clear last year. Those that say there won't be a PR soon have little logic backing them up. Then again, those announcing when exactly the PR will come and what exactly it will say are basing their opinions based on how much is stuffed in their pipe before they post. Reason tells us that there WILL be an update soon. Question is, will it tell us anything of importance? Or will it be fluff followed by plummeting PPS again?
Visual Store Op update needed IMO.
All of the disappointing ground checks seem slightly outdated or unsubstantiated. NY ally with a digi-cam needed for some reconnaissance mission. Fun to have dreams of plush leather furniture beneath ARMANI DECKED Russians wielding Diamond Quality index cards in hand. The pic of the door we have seen over and over is old. GONZ, if there is no real OP going down, I for one say that seeing is believing. It is a small world after all. Bretheren and sisteren, give your NYC peeps a call. Give them a mission. Where is GBDX and Sib Alamaz? FIND IT ON THE TACTILE, THE TANGIBLE. I am not giving up, scam me GBDX but first friends help with some proof, not wild speculations.
Holding in IVOI is still a good idea IMO.
NO. The "ex-date enigma" is still unknown to me.
It is possible that there are SEC statutes and such that have been unclear through this DIV. Especially what shareholders qualify for the DIV. Holders on the 15th is the ONLY qualified statement by IVOI that I have seen. Other tech jargon is "as clear as mud". If IVOI follows through with the 1:1 dividend, I predict some mayhem as to what holders qualify and those that don't, perhaps dependant on not only the ex-div date but also the holding date. Wait and see!
That's Good News! Thanks.

Thanks Chucka! I have posted similar posts with little or no notice. People usually let fear get the best of them, and resume freaking out over the perceived "lack" of news. I don't know what will happen but the prospect of getting a valuable update very soon is looming large!!! I'm loading and waiting patiently.
Zahnj, just what I was thinking, but also trying to imagine a scenario where they could sell into a huge run and then buy back after the hype settles and the pps drops again. Make a big chunk of money and still be able to buy back shares at a very low price later. Like I said, just a hypothetical. If they rock a power PR and the CO. is indeed on the verge of Buyout/Merger too many people would buy and hold with a sustained high pps and GBDX would then be responsible for dealing with those highly priced shares if they were to try to exit the market as previously stated. Just my thoughts.
What about: sort-of strong PR with no finality, moderate to small short squeeze, temporarily inflated pps. Huge sell off by GBDX into the market with 300mil, more fluff PR's in months to come, Co. can slowly accumulate back shares at low prices a month or so from now, having dumped huge on couple a day run with shorts in the middle. THEY COULD HAVE IT ALL! Just a silly hypothetical. I don't know what I'm talking about. Seems sort of logical though.
Big volume resulted from large sells, then large buys. PPS shifted back and forth with some big spread today, hence no significant upwards or downwards movement. Flippers at it again in my opinion.
Crazy not to buy at .0031/Ask IMO. Remember to look back at previous GBDX PR's. They have updated the share holders EVERY MONTH for the past 14 months at least. Some of them not coming until the end of the month. I don't know if/when/what they will PR but with history as a guide, likely that something is still on the way this month. All just a guess and my opinion.
All my $$ tied up in other positions right now, otherwise I would love to pick up a couple-a-hundred K more!
GS BIG HOLDER: see ibox.
Not Pumping, still just very curious after all of these seemingly valuable connections. It is all about the PATENTS and the connection to the manner in which these could be VERY important to current communication and internet technology trends. IMO

Tech Analysis Needed For these VLNT Patents.
Still held by the company as far as I know. Utility of Patents is yet undetermined from anyone on this board. The viability of said patents and possible connection to advancing trends in two-way video communication is key to unlocking the mystery surrounding VLNT IMO.
Try just: videolan in the query box and hit SEARCH tab.

ABSTRACT below...>
A local area network for the simultaneous, bi-directional transmission of video bandwidth signals includes an economical switching matrix. The switching matrix defines upstream connections, downstream connections, and user connections and a plurality of switching points in order to provide bi-directional switching capability between every user and every upstream connection, between every user and every downstream connection, and between every user and every other user connected to the matrix, while using fewer than half of the usual N.times.N number of switching points, where N equals the number of user connections plus the number of upstream connections plus the number of downstream connections.
Patent office website is difficult navigation.
My Due Diligence Friends, please go there and find the patent info for VLNT, it is there, I have seen it. I have read and understood much.

An evaluation of VLNT Patents by Tech Person is needed.
I will provide a link here soon.
Nice work! When VLNT starts moving, people get wind of it right quick and you might see lightning runs upwards!! JMO of course, but I've played this one a few times since last year and wowee, it smokes upwards fast with MOMO and attention! As for the story behind it, a lot of deadend DD, but still could be something sweet behind the scenes waiting to really EXPLODE!
All I can say is if you can get some .0005, DO IT! Several of us all agreed we wished we could have been holding some .0006 before the most recent run to about .004-.005, which is where the pps hovered for months. Low float, extremely quick upward movement on low volume is the pattern for VLNT. I'm holding here for another easy 5x-10x!!!

Look at the PR history for GBDX- Pretty consistent as far as timing goes. Some at the beginning of the month, some in the middle, some at the end of the month. But, At Least One PR Per Month All The Way Back To December 06!. We will see something soon IMO, only what will it be? The possibilities are driving everyone nuts!

No news about spin-off, no chatter on the board, plummeting PPS. Will we sink back to .0012? Maybe I'll get back in with some shares for flippin'! >.0012-.0018 not a bad % range for that if we ever stop the downward spiral.
Bottom flattened out where? At .0002? Scary close to the real bottom, then ANOTHER R/S? I sure hope not. IMO, I am learning to see a pattern here. These stocks R/S, sink, R/S again, etc, etc. You can get some play on the way down, but holding long on these is a big mistake, one that I have made several times. I hope GLLK will be my last.
I just want some spinoff shares. Even if they are worthless, and ivoi tanks, I just want SOMETHING to make me feel better about the loss I'm taking here. Just give me a couple of worthless free shares, and I'll be happy!
