I actually sent him and email asking him if he hired this guy. There was no reply about that but he responded to another email which I sent later and he was very nasty. Time will tell if he did or not. Would not suprise me though...they are both on that scam site.
Yes but they all do it.
This is all about the MM screwing around with stock since the RS. They have it in for ARTS...I'm telling you!!!! This stock should not be trading below .05 let alone below a penny!!! This is BS. WTF MM?
The rumors and predictions are starting to fly…so what does this mean? Either they are true or we are in for a bounce. Only time will tell!
Haven’t' you noticed that the MM has it in for ART? This stock should be trading well into the double digits and the MM continues to screw the heck out of this stock for some reason. I read that one guy intends to file a complaint.
What if we're not all White? How about just trash? Hate that expression!
They keep forgetting that we're not forgetting.
The reproduction rights of this artwork could reap some huge profits. Limited copies of this work could sell for a million bucks per copy. There is some merit to this deal but it comes at a time when I’ve just about had enough of declining PPS.
They don’t need it (the painting) and it will serve no purpose other than give them a reason to increase outstanding shares. Basically a catalyst for greed and deception is how I see it. I’m actually sick of the BS and insults on our intelligence with this sort of mess. Pinoman, Captain Jim and Springroll keeps giving this guy the blues but he needs to stop helping them with that by pulling this sort of S%*T. Will someone let him in on the fact that share holders value is directly related to PPS? How many of the longs have watched their portfolios go from whatever they started out with to a third of that now? How is issuing more share for you to sell going to increase my share holders value? Enough of the frivolous acquisitions and takers. I’m sick of financing your fantasies with my hard earned cash. Can’t you find something constructive to do like run this company correctly rather than into the ground?
Should be news in the morning, IMO. Need this thing to run and run hard. The right news could send it back over a penny but just a tad if it happens. This stock seems be in weak hands or hot hands...lol
Yes sir you are correct...
There is not and nor can there be a promise of a share price!!!! Reading compression is fundamental. This man cannot promise you that the share dividends will be worth 10.00.
Personally I am completely sick of hearing the question and comments about these dividends! There has been an over abundance of questions and a sufficient number of answer to those question surrounding these dividends. Don’t people read anymore!!!! All one has to do is go back and read a few post and there is bound to be several post with answers to your questions. And if getting free stuff isn’t enough, some are now claiming a promised price! We were promised dividends and give an estimate on what the shares should be worth. Either way, stop looking a gift horse in the mouth…the darn things are free!!!! All I’ve heard since the 16th of April is “my share, where is my shares.” Shut up already…you’ll get them when they are issued!!!!!!!!
.0043? You gotta be kidding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ARTFESTDIRECT UPDATE:
Not rocket science is it? Took me a while to give up trying play the game I was playing though. Not because I didn’t catch on early mind you, it’s just that I was trying to stick to it with while the powers that be were making money hand over fist. “You stay in as loyal share holders while we dilute and rake in the profits” wasn’t playing well with this one. To this day, some are being told to just hang in there. I will but I will be taking what I feel is due me along the way. Self preservation and loyalty fall in that same order in my world. I expect ARTS to conduct business in that same manner and they clearly do.
And what big news would this be?
As I stated elsewhere, in this country you get one bite of the apple and after that you get exposed and people line up to take turn reading and writing their findings about you. The compilation of those testimonials are pinned to your sleeve and no matter what you attempt to endeavor, all one has to do is look down your arm. There is much about this CEO posted on the internet and it is MHO that there is somewhat of a reflection of his past deeds in the PPS. I like the fact that Springroll and the likes question a lot because if nothing else, it keeps one looking over one’s shoulders. Whatever this guy did in his past is on him and the victims (assuming there were some).
All I’m looking for is a return of my investment…period. If he can do that fine… What I do know is that if the numbers and facts do not add up and there continues to be holes in every single PR or report then the PPS will remain where it is or go lower. A lot has to be cleared up as well as cleaned up for this thing to climb. Erase all doubt and we’re off! Hide and deceive and you get sub penny and stay there. I’m not here to bash or do childish name calling. I could care less about this guys writing or use of the English language (which buy the way Russian could be structured different from our own and explain a lot of the mistakes made). How many of you can speak Russian or a second language? This guy is not stupid as some has suggested.
I’m not sure of what it is he hopes to accomplish but there is a plan there somewhere in his head and I can actually see bits and pieces of it. Hate him, bash him or love him….I don’t care but do not be surprised to see the likes of him pull something off in grand fashion. All I say is whatever is in that head of yours, keep it real!
Only that he has reasons to believe that this stock will be posting on the big boards soon. I have also gotten some hints that this could be the case but nothing concrete has been revealed to me, only that It could happen. I’m not versed on what is involved in filing to be on AMEX or NASDAQ but this guys is running off at the mouth as if something has been revealed to him. A run is due soon but heck we all either know or feel that coming. I don’t think that anything bad is cooking though. By Tuesday we should be back in the green but this is just me using rusty instinct.
I mean who knows, maybe this guy knows what he is talking about but because he runs his mouth so much, I’m not feeling that confident about his news. Either way, As Scottie said to me, “just keep holding” something coming is my thought.
You never know because some guy is pumping the living heck out of this stock on the other board...talking about ARTS going on the one of he big boards soon....Sounding as if he has some inside info. I've been thinking the same thing but now that I've read what this guy wrote...I think I'm not so sure anymore...lmao.
BDaddy,
Wish I had the answers. I don’t know what to make of this whole thing but dilution has to play a part in all of this. I mean what else could possibly keep such a supposedly promising stock in such a low PPS slot? I do believe that the MM reps are playing a role in all of this though. This stock had high volume potential with low PPS. A money maker for the MM so their reps play games. That split was a huge problem for ARTS. I’m not convinced that this stock can run to extreme high prices that we are all expecting anymore. Interesting are the questions that Sir John Falstaff are asking or rather posing. It is the obvious things as well that is suppressing this idea. Figuring out what is wrong with this stock’s PPS is a job long neglected by the powers that be.
I certainly share your frustration. Also, there still remain some weak hands invested in this company. Today prove to be the opposite though. I think that the turnaround is actually near though. Today was a good start. We may get tested again tomorrow but from there maybe up slowly. Gotta shake out those last few remaining weak hands. MM just about done screwing around for now. I will buy tomorrow if the price goes to the low .0050’s. In summation, I really feel that we are nearing something big…maybe a big board announcement or more Time Warner news..don’t know but I feel something is just around the corner.
Message from the CEO of ARTS. I asked him some very direct questions and this was his response...
Well, these guys get hot and spit all kinds of junk. We are running a
great company and we will protect us. Now, I'm not trying to be litigious
with these guys, but what they are doing is still illegal and they can get
in trouble with SEC themselves. Now, the SEC may not file criminal charges,
but because these guys are using internet to scare of peoples shares, it's
FEDERAL. And I promise you, I may be a nice guy, but our company will go
after them for this kind of slander and nonsense. We know all these people,
and there are several cases that these people have to answer to. There are
several publicly traded companies that these bashers are on chatting boards and
SEC and both FEDERAL and State agencies are following them. Their main
attack M/O is the same. 1. Call CEO a crook. 2. Scream dilution 3. And call
the company a scam. Well, in legal terms its slander, and in FEDERAL terms,
they are attempting to manipulate the market and share price, and tortuously
interfere with our business...and by the way, since they also communicate
between each other...then that falls under "organized Crime" ( just look up
under "Torts" and RICCO act i.e. racketeering.) And yes, I don't care if you
post this. Because unlike their response of hiding behind statements like"
IN my honest opinion"...This is the fact based on truth and everything has
been already disclosed.
Best regards,
I believe that the MM does have a lot to do with PPS being what it is right now but on Friday that was all regular investors cashing out after qualifying for the dividends followed by panic. Monday and today will be all the MM doing as they load up for the next run. I’m thinking that by Thursday they will have enough to let the stock run again. I don’t see the stock getting to .0020 but I don’t have the knowledge that a lot of these guys have so take what I say with a grain of salt. I’m still in shock over that 10k but life goes on and so does the investing. I jumped out to cut my loses but will get back in on Weds if this thing has not started to run prior to that. Come on Scottie...lets give it another shot.
This was old news..check out my message #15070
I'm actually interested in any reply to this question myself. I would love to know the real numbers and how that individual came up with the answer. A breakdown of what ARTS actually have and whatever else is out there. Got to watch this company for sure. That is why the Captain Jim kept asking about the share structure.
After close on Friday, they sold a bundle of shares. I believe 8.5 or so mil @ .0075. It would not surprise me to see the stock back at. 0064 by Wednesday and .0057 by close of Friday. Why…give you one guess. Dilution…they have to do it and we have to pay for it with decline of our portfolio value. Back to a penny? Well manybe but shouldn't it have gone back to a penny after all that good news on the 10Q? Or was that good news? Maybe investors have stopped selling but the company can't. Still 560 or so mil to put out there. Would you stop now? There is still a few weeks between now and the deal with Time Warner to catch on...Are those spots with Warner free? They have to keep selling and the good news has already played somewhat.
In this case, the 3 of you prove to be right but it is what is it. I just try and call things as I see them. I will most likely invest in this stock again but now I know the game and I'm ahead by a lot. Again, you guys were right and I was wrong....period...
Money is stolen because of our dreams to become rich or well to do. Madoff knew that and in so knowing, he was able to scam money off the dreamers for years. Dreamers are those who are in a state of suspended denial and will therefore argue any truth place before them and it is only after they are broke that the epiphany materializes. Pinoman, Springroll and Captain Jim has been preaching the very same shocker that we all witnessed this pass Friday. Most of us were predicting a run to unimaginable proportions but what we got was an absolutely pathetic Q10 that reflected insane selling and diluting what out regards to a single investor.
Over the past year most of the longs that kept their money in place have been rewarded with an almost depleted portfolio. Only the so called shorts, flippers, bashers and Arts have made out. If you are a long in this stock, for as long as there exist the possibility for them to either sell or generate to subsequently sell stock in this company, you will witness your investment decline. This is not a bash statement but a proven fact and for those of you who are in a state of denial go check the trading history of this company. They stock the pond with new fish using fluff PR’s and we sit and watch them use nets to catch fish while being told that the pond is being stock for us in the future.
If you are ahead in this game, you’ve either been lucky enough to catch the stock just before a fluff release or have had enough money to average down several time before a new fluffier is released. If you witnessed a run then you darn well had better ride it and get out. There are roughly 651-560 OS shares so expect this to depressed price in the stock to continue until there is depleted. And if history is any indication of what you have to look forward to when that reserve is gone, expect another RS. They are telling you right in the 10Q to expect them to continue operating by selling stock and not by limiting the asset pursuit and working what they already have. Heck, I would be much better depositing my money into a saving account. At least I can be sure that when I return that it would still be there. Can you say the same about your portfolio?
Yeah what a shocker...read it and weep Jr.

This company always seems to find a way to disappoint you and the stock can’t hold over a penny. Where are those who were talking that over .02 and beyond rhetoric at the beginning of the week? Save the insults and the name calling as if it is my fault that this doesn’t want to get off the ground and I’m supposed to be cheerful and happy about it. A year of insane selling and they still have to drag out the 10Q so that they can sell up to the very last minute! Enough already…show me that you can do something because crank out the fluff. The bashers would shut up if you’d stop giving them material to write about. Decline…decline…decline….

The yahoo board isn’t subjective or bios. They seldom tell adult what to say or not to say. To date I have not been placed on indefinite restrictions due to subjectivity. I assume that I responding to a pertinent topic, otherwise this will be a probable as well. Now for ARTS…The stock is riddled with ambiguity and controversy which renders it venerable to just about every verbal viral attack that is uttered. The stats will show that this is a better penny stock than most but the PPS reflects quite the opposite. Management needs to not only pay attention but fix this if they intend to continue diluting successfully. Otherwise, this stock will continue to be a flip stock at best. The stats warrants a much higher price but who is working on that?
Is this guy alright? The general understanding is that the stock will have a run any day now, so you are suggesting that because investors realize that the dividends are nothing more than a dilution tool that they are stupid enough to stand on the sidelines and miss both the run as well as the dividends no matter their worth? ROTFLMAO. Maybe in your world one cannot issues a diwy that is more than the current price of the stock but just sit back and watch ARTS do it if you’re that much in denial…lmao. Oh…and it is going to work that way and I’ll be cashing in, even if that IPO is worth a penny….
This was a very smart move on the part of ARTS…the stock is somewhat locked in a holding pattern in anticipation of the report and dividend qualification…basically the only one that can sell are those with the getters and ARTS.

I think that the Time Warner news was planned to fill in the long time gap between the previous PR, the quarterly report (initially due by the end of March) and the maturity date of the dividends. It all just fits too perfectly doesn’t it? A lot of dumping can occur between March 25 to April 15. Basically drag it out and milk it for what it is worth. Kept the price up and kept most of us in place so the dumping could continue. I honestly believe that the report was completed on time but the anticipation of the report would allow more selling between the March 25 PR and the share maturity date. Anyone see it differently?
