No matter what anyone says, you cannot gain investor loyalty pulling crap like this all the time. This stock has a dark cloud hanging over it and it’s getting worse.

Why not...its free money!

Honestly, the SEC couldn’t catch a scam if it was doing business out of their office. Just ask Bernie…lmao

So now what? Another scam? My God! Just when I'm thiking to buy in...they come with this.

Very good question!

March 3 thru 5 will be interesting to say the least. There is obvious confidence on the board but what about out among the masses? A damage control PR would be very timely prior to the launch date followed by some responsible diluting (if it has to happen) would keep the pressure in an upward mode. What concerns me is that they’ve set us up before only to dilute the s%#t out of the stock. If left alone, this thing could see a possible .02 before that report is due out at the end of the month. From there it is clearly left us to the contents of the report and the restraint of management to stop the damn dumping!
Like someone pointed out, there are other successful companies with more debt and OS out there. The difference is that their CEO’s and company pass deeds don’t have the stigma that these folks have. I really like the idea of an MLM company that offers sports memorabilia and art décor. I know that the argument is that the down economy will suppress this sort of thing but what if the down economy brings all sorts of MLM pros out of the woodworks? With a selling feature of a traceable product and a website that can actually keep track of and give credit to the individual that owns that site isn’t a bad idea guys. And MLM companies can crank out some very impressive numbers. Another concern is that old habits die hard so I’m hoping that the guy running this MLM end of thing can keep the powers that be honest and not let them do to the associates what they’ve done to the investors because that would prove disastrous.
Short term, this stock has been a nightmare for many, long term, this thing could prove to be something beyond your wildest dreams. Gonna take that chance at some point this week and stick in that other foot.

Now this is starting to resemble what I had hoped it would. Less pressure downward and stabilizing around that .0043. (See post #12776). But after so many declines, who could bet the farm at this point? I see that one or two seasoned guys are starting to feel something, which may be a sign. “Either she turns around this week or to the grave she goes” is one of those feelings that come to mind. I would feel much better if Elijah and pinoman was on board with what is in my gut but I’ll continue to watch them as well. Like I said, don’t see it going to .0017 but .0038 seems more possible than not. Either greed or desperation has taken this stock to lows that I never would have guessed but here we are. Even diluting at higher prices would be a plus at this point.
If this thing can bounce from down here it would be huge for some. Hoping that should it catch fire, it will burn back to a point where does who got screwed wil make at least some of their money back. Well let’s see what the coming weeks will bring.

Broke the pattern today...interesting.

The pattern has been up to .0048 down to .0038 and close at .0040

LMAO...TOO FUNNY. At what price did you first start saying that?

So will it slide into the .003's today?

This whole conversastion that you guys are having is above my head. What is the deal with this whole Big Apple thing etc.?

Want to really get these guys attention? Compile a list of links to all the sites containing questions comments etc. about ARTS and send it to every person or company they’ve mentioned in a fluff release. Don’t forget to include a link this site…lmao.

The actual question I have is how could a stock with such an underperformance history be anything else but a scam? No matter what the situation, the stock only moves south. Only on the paid bounces do you see a small climb but even then they flood the market with the endless OS’s that seems to have no bottom. No matter how bad the stock gets bashed, the only one’s defending it is the fools and the plants. I’m waiting for the press release that answers all the legitimate questions that crop up every day and go unanswered. Most people do not come to this message board because they hate this company and have nothing better to do but bash it. They come because they’ve been screwed and feel that this is one way of getting revenge. All the so called bashers want are explanations. If you don’t have any then what does that make you? A scam!
Have you noticed that since .0050 the guys who were going to load their trucks have shut up? The loaded trucks have less on them now and there is no sign of this stock price reversing itself. The people whose messages you read that say they got in at .05, .02, .011, etc. will be you at .0001. CEO of ARTS, if you are out there reading this…and we know you are, then come forward and defend your stock in a press release that answers all the questions that you’ve become versed with.
To the positive people on the board, I say to you…that you are better at staying upbeat than I because this stock has yet to show me signs of any turn around. Don’t you think that I wish to load my truck? Well I do but not so that I can see half my investment gone in a matter of days. That is not me not being able to afford a lost but rather me being smart with my money. Mr. CEO, let us hear from you because right now you appear to be stealing out money and hiding out.

Ever hear of the bounce that never happened? Are there pictures of this call center? I’m starting to look for phantoms after those two announcements last week. I honestly want to believe in this company but the selling continues and so does the fluff. Every other day has hit a new all time low. WTF!!!!!! Is this really a company? On the Yahoo message board, this 73 year old man is very concern about the legitimacy of this whole thing. Hell, can you blame him? .0042 and dropping!

LMAO...Yeah I know right?

Another R/S huh? Wow...wouldn’t surprise me one bit. And have you guys figured out that there is an empty headed plant among us? The stock goes down daily and he talks it up daily. Always going to buy more and those who have lost their savings should not have invested if they could not afford to lose money. Make valid points and if it’s not a positive one you’re bitter….Who else but a plant could be so ridiculous? This guy is a monkey….lmao

Finish this old expression…at the end of the day

Had to take a forced break since Thursday, lost power in the northeast until this morning. I see that ARTS is still on the decline. Trading at .0042 currently. I didn’t think we’d be that low until the end of the week.

Bitterness? Guy what in the hell are you talking about? These are just questions that I’m posing to see what people think…tell you what. I don’t’ like you and I do not wish to hear from you again. I will also refrain from addressing you as well.

So what would constitute a run with this stock or any stock as for that matter? What makes any of you think that there will actually be a run? What if the dilution continues and the bottom falls completely out of this stock? Has there been any sign from management that would make anyone think that they could refrain from selling long enough to allow this stock to bounce? Who among you thought at some point that management would never allow this stock to slip into sub penny land, let alone embark upon .0040? Who believes that this is a scam to suck us all dry and then file bankruptcy? Why hasn’t management stopped the bleeding? Who believes that the launch on March 8th or the pending report will cause a bounce?

My plan is to see how the week closes before I decide to stick another foot in. Like it or not, those who predicted the lows that we are now experiencing were correct so let’s give them that. As previously stated, I do not see this stock going to 0017 or even 0030 but that’s just coming from a guy who has professed that he knows little about stock. I don’t see a spike before March 4th or 5th but again, we will see. The scary part for me is what can happen between March 8th launch date and March 20 supposedly report date. That is 12 days of “anything could happen. We are so low now that any bounce should make you money if you hop in and lay low.
So where is the turning point? IMO it has to be around .0035 and .0043. No charts, just a hunch…lol the price downward have become more and more stubborn but I don’t think that it is quite finished slipping yet. I do agree with all the positives though, this thing is going to take off like crazy once it does. I don’t agree that this company is a scam but it is clear that they’ve not always ran things in the best interest of the investors. In communicating with the CEO, I got the impression that this is his baby and possibly even his last chance to make a name for himself other than internet scam artist.
Some of the companies and people involved in ARTS are on the up and up and must see some potential in this concept. I’m sure most of you know what the Ben Franklin close is? It is where you make a list of pros on one side of a sheet of paper and cons on the other side. Well when I do that, the pros out weight the cons pertaining to this company. Good example…imagines having GPS on everything you own. Do you suppose anyone would take a chance on stealing your stuff only to have to destroy it trying to find the tracking device? Sure there is some questionable things happening with this company but like I said previously, if they can pull this off I want to be on board. If they don’t…then I get to listen to a lot of “we tried to warn ya.”

You're correct! Its a website and probably doesn't very many visits...lmao
and PLC (www.plctv.com), the world's first broadcast-quality Internet television service, announced today that Artfest International has acquired Performance Lifestyle Channel and will offer a full range of brands and programming consumers on the innovative distribution platform

Honestly I think the bleeding will stop by next Thursday or Friday(if at all)…but who knows where that will leave us. Someone is saying .0030. Think not beyond .0040 but keep in mind that I don’t know jack about stocks. If there is to be a bounce then it will be the week after next or thereafter. But these fluff PR’s sending investors to non-active sites is what’s going to send it to the grave sooner.Are these guys alright?

Dude, pinoman and Elijah are having a field day with the declining price of this stock and you are nowhere to be found to defend it…Don’t wait for a sunny bounce day…come out to play while it is raining bad news.

www.izzmedia.com

Do not cap the zz as they did in the PR.

Another PR...

Below the .0055 so what next?

Giving someone from a socialist country a license to do business is like giving someone who has never had a drink the whole bottle or better still, the keys to a liquor store. Hey, you’ve just given an individual with no formal business training the right to step out onto an exchange room floor a license to steal. No business ethics training, not a lick of financial training and no sense of fiscal responsibility. “You mean to tell me those cookies were free?”

9:53 traded zero shares...whats up?

This stock has had many a chance to bounce but they were either too greedy or desperate to allow that to happen. Every single time they would do a fluff PR this stock would show signs of wanting to take off but then they would dump shares on the market that suppressed it from moving. And the days that followed mimicked the going out of business reduced stock price sales. What stock could endure that kind of thing? There is a total lack of faith in ARTS now. Day after day of dumping coupled with non transparency and a CEO with a reputation for scamming that has caught on like a California wild fire doesn’t give this stock much hope. What this company needs is a good cleaning up in order to climb out of the toilet price wise. Even after falling into sub penny land this stock has shown signs of wanting to bounce but the fools calling the shots are either too dumb or too selfish to let that happen. There is no applying logic to anything as it pertains to this stock. No charts…only predicting decline guarantees you guru status. Have you notice that only the so called bashers have been right? All of the go ARTS people have yelled that while watching their portfolios crash and burn. I believe that there is still hope for this stock but it has to happen soon because taking hits like it has day in and day out….well you see for yourself what it has done.

As a so called basher, you are damned if you do and you’re damned if you don’t. Far be it from me to call the guy that pull the fire alarm a name…Hopefully I’m not being perceived as such. You were among the first to predict below penny to 008 and lower. I value what you have to say. And yeah…if he bought his own company and didn’t make public the details, why wasn’t the terms disclosed? But this goes back to what I said about him cleaning up his act.

Quite the contrary. I want there to be naysayers but there are those with facts and other just running off at the mouth for the sake of just being disgruntle. I would rather sort though less BS and just deal with the facts as they are presented. I don’t care to hear day in and day out the same old BS. The fact that this guy is thought to be scam artist is a given at this point, so tell me what the stock is expected to do in the near and distant future…Just trying to keep it real!

One more thing…What I will say is that unless the company’s CEO spends time clearing up the shady questions surrounding his image this stock is going nowhere. His name has become synonymous with the word scam and that’s tarnishing the name Artfest International…not good for any of us who has invested in ARTS.

There have been numerous allegations surrounding the CEO of ARTS and his possible involvement in illegal conduct. As I have stated, where there is smoke there should be fire. If all that has been said about this man is true then why isn’t he doing time or at least being investigated by the Texas Attorney General’s Office or the SEC? The time spent directly attacking him on this message board should be devoted to bringing all of these accusations to the attention of those who can do something about it. It would take less time to report this guy than it does writing about him on this message board. I admit that there are some conceivable accusations being made but leaving those accusations on here is like the proverbial tree that fell in the woods. I would much rather read about what someone has reported to an agency or authority rather than read about it on this board, depressing the heck out of everyone else. To ask where is a report on how much stock has been issued or sold or wonder why something hasn’t been filed with the property authorities is one thing, but if you think you know something about this man then report to someone other than this board. I am no fan of this company or its management but we are starting to circle the wagons and take side on an issue that’s preventing those with honest questions and facts to come forward and share.

Crappy companies? I’m not really sure what would constitute a crappy company but I would have a hard time convincing myself that ARTS is out there buying up dead-end companies. Call it what you will but I think that there is a method to what some see as madness in acquiring these companies. The more I think about it, the more I see this as positing rather than anything else. What purpose would it serve to buy a group of worthless company?

Aside from the fact that I hate that this company is selling shares of this stock without conscious, I feel that there is a plan in place and if they can pull it off we will all be the better for it. I don’t know about the rest of you but I honestly sense that something big is about to happen. I’m really pissed off about the selling and even more so about the non transparency issues concerning the amount of OS, etc. But aside from that, I believe that if this company can keep it going long enough to put some black ink on the books, this stock will go nuts.

Don't know but would rather see them spend shares on a purchasing a company than on company stationary, weekly paychecks and toilet paper...wouldn't you?

The Yahoo message states that the launch date for ARTS website is slated for March 8th. Further states that this website could possibly be the income generator to slow selling. I would love to hear what the rest of you are thinking. Please add your thought to this post….Do you see ARTS trading over .02 in the near future?

True!
