Remember ...Tickimus Watchimus is exactly what the M.M.'s want , to play on emotions of the susceptible .
They're masters at torture and ' Operant Conditioning ' techniques , hypnotizing SOME into selling at the open so that they can buy back later for a predictably lower PPS .....giving them their liquidity . Those with skill can capitalize on this MM controlled tactic , but remember , the MM's can induce a run at any moment without notice and those who are out with their paltry 5 % gain MAY lose out in the bigger picture when a run ( or even a higher PPS baseline ) is set in motion . M.M.'s play many like puppets on a string .
Market Makers usually see news before anyone else and they are notorious for dropping ANY stock's PPS to induce selling before the news is publicly known . I have seen this tactic many dozens of times , even on the Nasdaq / Amex / NYSE , not just the OTC .
The game is rigged in the M.M.'s favor .
Since I'm nearly inept at playing the game I choose to HOLD , and sometimes capitalize on buying weakness . Only a fundamental reason will induce me to sell .....and NOT the M.M.'s .
StockSpence ...click on Simplegreen's moniker and you'll see the new board ...' Simple Green Room '
Thanks , Wick ...excellent information ( as I hide my blushed face , LOL ) . GnF would have much better pricing than any of those listed competitors ....and , if GnF had a similar partnership with The Source ( Cdn Circuit City ) the name recognition would give GnF a competitive edge .
To my knowledge , there isn't any online competition in Canada . I do know that Blockbuster is having competitive problems with dozens of mom-and-pop movie rental stores in my City . I hardly ever rent movies but I think the going price is $5.00 for a current release . GnF could do well in Canada ,
IMO .
Agreed , Bbillybbass ...and in addition I think C.C. will have its own ten commandments of ' thou shalts ' and ' thou shalt nots ' with GnF to ensure ethical business practices in the future .
C.C.'s scrutiny of GnF will be good for GnF and GZFX shareholders , in the near and long term .
Thanks Legalegal . I'll miss todays fun , big meeting with da boss because my Irish mouth stepped on a few fragile toes yesterday ....notably one inferior superior whose little feelin's were hurt ....boo hoo . He ain't seen nuthin' yet .
Have a great day .
*** Thanks for responses from others .
Yes , Anasta ...OTC investors are so used to seeing earth-shattering news releases that have no corroborative validity ...hence the pump and dump . Seasoned OTC investors are conditioned to DIS-believing virtually ALL OTC news releases and they prey on the believers , creating bagholders .
Corroboration from Circuit City will enhance ALL other successive GZFX news releases as believable , and to generalize John Fleming's statement , " to change the way the OTC market SHOULD be " .
As each news release is believed to be VALID , the PPS should reflect less volatility and act more like a growth stock .
National Market investors will demand it .
*** Thank you , John ...The Edge . You make me blush .
Most OTC stocks are absent validation ....they simply cannot prove their PR's , and when those stocks have a run those runs cannot be sustained ( eg USXP as just one of hundreds ).
There is no stronger validation for ANY OTC stock than by an industry leader who PR's on their worldwide newswires and website , and corroborates in SEC Filings .
When Circuit City jointly pr's their deal with GZFX the entire planet will know , and major exchange investors will enhance the sustainability of a GZFX run , and in my opinion by penny increments since they do not think in terms of tenths or hundredths of a penny .
It isn't that big of a stretch to think that GZFX has a bevy of OTHER news releases after the C.C. association is jointly released . With world-wide EXPOSURE from the C.C. / GZFX announcement IMO EACH successive news release will have tremendous validity , far more than just about any other OTC stock , and those combinations will transcend GZFX from a
volatile OTC stock to an ascending value investment ....a GROWTH STOCK .
Those who own GZFX at current levels have the rarest opportunity for wealth . Flippers can have their 10 % gains ....this Irish lass thinks in terms of + 1,000 % gains .
Happy GREEN St. Patrick's Day .
Good mornin' , Lesnshawn ...YAYsayers win the day . I'm just waking up ( 0610 here ) and I'm full of positive anticipation .
OT : anudder stock for the synapse impaired is BSOS ( Big Sack Of Stupid ) on the Gray Sheets . Every shareholder of BSOS gets to be their own CEO and can run their business anyway they want .
You're sooooo subtle , Howaboot ...too fuuny . EOM .
OT : thanks , John ( The Edge ) . Very mutual , friend .
Renee
I'll get right on that , Degreed ....while I'll be laughing my CLAO JF will be laughing his chubby AO . I'll record the call on webcam , ought to be a hoot .
Jason ...When the news is on C.C.'s newswires GZFX will make the USXP run look like a turtle in a wheelchair . The reaction will be instant and IMO , in penny increments .
It will be the perfect combination of strong fundamentals ( ie the partnership with C.C. ) and frenzied MoMo ....our perfect storm .
Triker ...stretching one's mind is healthy and entitled ( contrary to others who speak from their lower orifice ) . You excel at that , ami ....by your excellent post earlier this morning .
Thank you for your discreet response , Tina . Appreciated .
Renee
Your insult is noted , Kermit . EOM .
Exactly , JTMarlin . This mornings news could be a precursor to the news we expect on C.C. , which appears to be confirmed
by the D.C. re-location to Massachusetts and the strategic addition of D.C.'s in Maryland , Florida , Texas , and Washington ( presumed to be Washington State since Washington DC would have been identified with the suffix ) .
Theoretically we could be looking at a full national roll-out during 2006 ....as momentum builds in the East the D.C.'s are added in the midwest and west coast .
My adage about most anticipated things in life is , ' when you least expect it , it will happen ' .
Yolo ....it may not be a cookie issue , but a dog biscuit thingy ....LOL
Our choice ...do we display mettle , or do we meddle ? I think those who meddle in GnF's affairs should display some mettle instead , like the majority of GZFX holders on this board .
It's tough waiting , but there is a popular saying that makes sense ....." suck it up " .
Loftwerks is mentioned in this article of yesterday . *** I am not a reader of this board so if it has already been posted then I extend my apologies .
COPIED & PASTED
StockGate: Has Canada Admitted It Has Been Aiding And Abetting Short Sales; New Events Tonight’ / FinancialWire®
March 13, 2006 (FinancialWire) With 10 percent of all issues currently on the naked short-sales Regulation SHO list, market watchers have been trying to track the various end-arounds that market manipulators employ to circumvent their legal responsibilities in the U.S., including the secretive and nefarious Stock Borrow Program at the Depository Trust and Clearing Corp., equally secretive ex-clearing arrangements between brokerages, and deep-pocketed offshore hedge fund accounts, now comes Canada saying it has not, so far, been adhering to U.S. short-selling rules.
At least four securities have spent a record 294 days on the scandal-plagued list. These include Krispy Kreme (NYSE: KKD), Martha Stewart Omniliving (NYSE: MSO), Global Crossing (NASDAQ: GLBC) and Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX).
The Ontario Securities Commission has published proposed amendments to the rules of the Canadian Depository for Securities Ltd. (CDS) concerning adherence to U.S. short-selling rules.
On January 26, CDS’ board of directors approved amendments to the CDS rules which will facilitate adherence to Regulation SHO by CDS Participants utilizing Cross-Border Services offered by CDS. Regulation SHO imposes requirements on broker-dealers engaged in trading activity on markets regulated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to short sales of equity securities.
Regulation SHO requires short sellers to locate securities to borrow before selling short, and imposes additional requirements when trading in securities in which a substantial number of failures to deliver have occurred (threshold securities).
The proposed amendments include: an explicit requirement that participants utilizing Cross-Border Services comply with Regulation SHO; a provision allowing CDS to release information to any self-regulatory organization of which the participant is a member or the primary Canadian regulatory body relating to that participant's compliance with Regulation SHO; a provision authorizing CDS to restrict a participant's access to Cross-Border Services where there is non-compliance with Regulation SHO; and, a provision mandating that CDS take the necessary steps to close out a participant's fail to deliver position in a threshold security.
In addition to the proposed amendments to its rules, CDS is proposing to implement changes to procedures to facilitate adherence to Regulation SHO by its participants. CDS is proposing to generate reports identifying threshold securities and outstanding positions in relation to these threshold securities both on an aggregate basis, for all CDS participants, and by individual participant.
To comply with the proposed amendments CDS participants will be expected to adopt internal procedures or policies when utilizing Cross-Border Services to ensure compliance with Regulation SHO.
Meanwhile, while the headlines have more recently been dominated by the War Between the Worlds of James Cramer, the half-subpoeaed founder of TheStreet.com (NASDAQ: TSCM) and the mostly indignant CEO of Overstock.com (NASDAQ: OSTK), another poster child has emerged, and its name is Loftwerks, Inc. (OTC: LFWK).
Loftwerks CEO Dennis Ammerman said that between treasury shares and restricted shares, insiders had purchased enough additional shares to exceed the 500 million share float.
Ammerman said the full details will be posted on the company’s website at http://www.loftwerks.com by tomorrow.
The fact that 20 million shares were traded when no legitimate shares were available raises the question as to where those shares came from. Critics of the Depository Trust and Clearing Corp., which is part of an investigation by state regulators, have said the ‘stock borrow’ program results in the ‘counterfeiting’ of shares for hundreds of public companies.
The most prominent battler against manipulative trading, Patrick Byrne, CEO of Overstock.com has told FinancialWire to expect important new developments tonight, but did not say what he expects to occur.
Some have expected the subpoenas to ‘journalists’ issued by the SEC to be reactivated, with the full support of SEC Commission Chair Christopher Cox, and some have speculated that General Electric (NYSE: GE), may suspend CNBC’s ‘Mad Money’ due to Cramer’s public display of disrespect for legal authority in the face of the SEC subpoenas, capped by his writing ‘BULL’ on the face of his and cavalierly tossing it to the floor while on-air, possibly leaving him the latest reincarnation of ‘Lonesome’ Rhodes, a character in ‘A Face in the Crowd.’

Yolo .." Neither party can issue any PUBLIC announcement ...."
means through ANY conduit whatsoever ....including the paid-for
services from WallSt.net
.....just elaborating on your excerpt from the SEC filed 8-K
Maybe when their lips are unsealed they will release a
' Special-K ' with some sugar in it .
No doubt , Yolo ....quite possibly J.F. could fit a bunch o' wabbits up there . All we want is one cute rabbit with buck teeth and a big smile . Is that too much to akks for , LOL .
Rats ....gotta do that duty thingy . Have a good-un .
Well , even in Exodus the Israelites did get to the Promised Land , and only took 40 years to do it .
GZFX will be more like Noah's Ark ....and do it in 40 business days and nights from January 15th .....which should be just about now .....according to Hoyle .
As the Big Guy once said to Noah when Noah was a nervous nellie cuzz of all that stinkin rain , the market will also say to GnF if they don't pull this off ....." Johnny and Chippy .....how long can you tread water ? "
We sink or swim on C.C. , or a huge rabbit pulled outta somewhere .
Should C.C. announce a GnF partnersip on their newswires the entire planet of BIG Market investors will want GZFX , and IMO they will buy in penny increments because they simply do not think in terms of tenths or hundredths . They know how to think outside the constrictive box of the OTC penny-ante players .....IMO .
Superlative post , Papa . The deal with C.C. could be more encompassing than laypersons recognize .
Hahaha , Bbillybass ...good timing . LMCLAO . EOM .
Yes , The Edge ( John ) . AAFES will likely be better for fundamental growth for GnF , but C.C. would get the exposure
for GnF that will likely be better for the trading stock .
One could stretch their mind to think that C.C. could also make a deal with AAFES to sell portable DVD players at similar discounts that GnF would provide for movie and game rentals .
In a way , the C.C. and GnF partnership could be viewed as symbiotic , insomuch as GnF needs C.C. for growth and C.C. would benefit from diversity and competitive offerings to their rivals . GnF could even be evaluated by C.C. as a ' loss leader ' which is a tactic employed by every successful retailer to get more customers onto their website and into their stores ......ie , a customer who rents a GnF movie MAY end up buying a C.C. TV , etc . In other words , GnF would provide more customer exposure for C.C.'s other products .
Or as Elmer Fudd would say ....west and weeeeewax . Or as Yosemite Sam might say ....GIMME the *#!!#* NEWS , Varmint .
I'm like Elmer .
Howaboot ...if'n someone sells out and + news does occur ,
the sellers will be wearing ' HOOF your cookies ' t-shirts .
Opposite could be said for buyers if'n + news does not occur .
I'm holding with resolve , until indicated otherwise .
MM's can shake . MM's can also start a RUN . They are the masters at dictating investor sentiment whether greed or fear or hypnotic trance from no action . Enough investors bite the hook every time ; the MM's depend on that .
A nice crumb of news and the MM's WILL start a run on GeewhillikersGameZandFlix . Big news plus national market investors will fuel this thang like a grass fire .
It's what they do , because they can .
Today we hate the MM's . One day we'll love them .
Legalegal ....you wrote some excellent posts this weekend , as well as Outlawbabe and Lesnshawn and so many others .
When hearts were failing , YOU ( and others ) stayed grounded .
My privilege to breath the same cyber air as you .
Renee
Yumpin Yiminy , Bbillybbass ....fer a moment I thought I had misspelled Lolipop and had written Lolipoop .....you brat , hahaha .
A higher PPS requires NEW investors willing to pay more than most of us have paid for our shares . Those NEW investors will be looking for positive confirmation of their GZFX purchase , through message boards .
This is one very impressive message board , and let's remember to welcome those NEW investors who waited for the PROOF , and the NEW investors who are buying before the PROOF and are taking the same risks as the rest of us bums ...er....investors , heh heh .
Nice to be on the Good-Ship-Lolipop with most of you .
Renee
Xray44b9....excellent post . To all other contributors on this board I am so very impressed with your thoughtful analyses as so many have stretched their minds to look at GZFX from every possible perspective . If there was room for recommendations as on Yahoo's public message boards I would have rec'd MANY posts .
IMO , the shareholders on this board are champions already .
If this C.C. thingy transpires as we are allowed to believe then we will deserve the rewards because of the incredible teamwork .
WOW !!!!!
Renee
Excellent post , Nez . EOM .
Very OT : Simba : IMO the PPS of MOVI is being held up until Monday March 13th or thereabouts , so that the S&P Small Cap 600 index funds can liquidate their holdings . Possibly a pop in the PPS for a few days next week with HIGH volume , then
the risks become exponentially greater . From indications of a Chapter 11 being likely , a reorganization bankruptcy will wipe out shareholder equity TOTALLY ( notwithstanding the pink sheet share price of pennies if a CH11 is filed ) .
Be very careful with MOVI ( BBI too , for that matter ) .
I hope you don't mind my comments . I have observed this pattern of action MANY times on other insolvent stocks .
The insiders and Index Funds collude with the MM's to prop up or run the stock so they can dump , then the bagholders are abandoned with NO supports for the stock and the legal shorters pummel the lifeblood out of the targetted stock .
Very much just MY opinions only .
I appreciate your comments , Tinman , and those of others .
I know it may seem rude to not respond to each individual who takes the time to comment , but I try to not clog up the message board . I trust that those who do respond know that I appreciate their comments .....a LOT .

It was out of character for GnF to release 2005's 10KSB 2 months early , when each quarterly and yearly financials over the past 3 years have been released to the fullest allowable time or late .
So , WHY ?
Is it allowable to think that the company did not want to contaminate the planned material events for the middle of March with 2005's financial results on the usual release date of March 30 / 31 ?
It seems to me there was a strategic reason for getting the 10KSB released well in advance of the SEC documented Circuit City
partnership with GnF , timed for March 15th .
Should the C.C. & GnF partnership consumate on or about March 15th as declared in a mutually binding LOI , or minimally before the end of the 1st quarter of March 31st , it would give GnF until May 15th to demonstrate their growth strategies and hopeful successes before the number crunching Financials are released , and with the 2005 10KSB already released it is allowable to think the company may be planning to GROW the
trading equity ( the PPS ) with positive news releases .
Yolo....I think there will be a lot of ' O's ' when this thing starts its ascent .....lots of pent-up tension ready for climax .....one teensy news release about the rollout being a GO .
We'll be able to ask other longs , " was it good for you too ? " ....but only to those who took the risks and held in the face of pervasive doubts . The nervous nellies can say ,
" I'll have what they're having " but they can pay a 300 % premium....hopefully more .
