Sorry to disagree. If we had some correspondence from Dr. Ben the volume would be rockin by now. I am hoping by all the silence that the next announcement will be BLOCKBUSTIN.
So what Monday were you refering to?
Did you ever get the franchise packet from Larry Feierstein?
The chart looks like it is just begging to bust upward. I guess all are awaiting real franchising news from the good Dr. Ben.Being from N.Y. congrats to the Giants!!! What a game.
ssc- He was so consistent and committed to keep HIS shareholders up to date prior to opening Tampa. Now it seems he is not. I am aware that he is not obligated but it would only be the right thing to do being he PROMISED to do so. We should have better avenues such as hearing from the CEO, than everyone fishing around all over the web to find something out. By the way- Did the Winky gaming compitition go off as scheduled??? The H3 and HHSS sites are all UNDER DEVELOPEMENT!!!!!
DOES ANYONE OUT THERE HAVE ANY %@!#*% IDEA as to when Dr. Ben plans to have a conf. call to address HIS shareholders? On one hand last week he is talking about opening shops all over the damn U.S.A. and the stock is acting as we are going nowhere!! The only excuse I have heard is the MM's playing games. Any other opinions??? Where are you Dr. Ben??
Looks like something is brewing on the positive. Is something we have been waiting for about to happen? Very refreshing finish based on market climate. Can't wait for Monday. Maybe Dr. Ben will come out of hiding from giving the shareholders an update or even better BIG NEWS data. GO HTRE. Have a good weekend everyone.
I am sure perspective investors are also checking out H3 and HHSS websites to get a feel, so in all aspects the sites need to be current and DAILY updated. Just my opinion!
Flsun- You are correct although at this point I feel even if a contract is signed it is too late to advertise properly and still would not be posted on the website. Web must be more informative after being open over a month.
SSC, You couldn't be more right. I look at it everyday as you do. Someone is really dropping the ball there. The sites are much more professional as too what they were before but "WHERE'S THE BEEF". At one point it was mentioned that they were testing the menu and weeding out before posting but you are certainly on point to everything else that should be on the sites. Even one of the video clips Eric states " The first gaming league contest was slated for 1/26 or so with Winky Wright! Why is it not posted??????????
Again I hope we all hear from Dr. Ben via conf. call SOON for clarity and an update to answer all on this board. It does sound like all good things are about come, the patience factor is the hardest of all.

How are you Pizza-I assume you haven't received the franchise packet as of yet. If it wasn't ready yet he should have said that, not said he was sending it. Just curious as to the details.
We should have received a conf. update today, especially it being the 1 month anniversary of the Grand Opening. Just my opinion.
Russmax- Your right. There was poor management and I felt the blind were leading the blind. Especially when no one did there DD when it came to the zoning requirements. I did however feel Tony Infante did have his heart in the right place pertaining to getting lift off in St.Pete. I was thinking that they might make use of St. Pete as a satalite cybergaming location(min food/bev)for the gaming league? Again zoning/variences-who knows. Other than that it is a white elephant. Unfortunatly Dr.Ben inherited St. Pete. Could you imagine where we would be now if Dr. Ben took over before St.Pete was even leased???? Hoping to hear some good news soon as we ALL ARE. Nice to see the up tick today for a change. Ha! Where are you Dr. Ben?
I am as surprised as everyone else. On the positive, I think what Dr. Ben and the H3 team accomplished in 2 months to get the Tampa store just to open was amazing. I am sure everyone took a break after working around the clock. It has been mentioned by Dr.Ben that there were 6 stores already in the pipeline. He promised to get the rating on Pinksheets.com to a current status. He did! I agree that there should be an update given by Dr.Ben via conf call but in the absence of it, I am hoping he is using his time to align all of the future prospects he has mentioned and PROMISED!! I think everyone who is hanging in here will be duly rewarded. If everyone thinks that this co. plans to open only one store and proceed as status quo they are gravely mistaken. Just my opinion.
Welcome back- Did you receive the franchise packet yet?
Pinksheets-New Filings FYI
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAY'S TO ALL THE HTRE FAMILY.
Make that .005. I'll take whatever I can get.
I get 1st dibbs on the penthouse opening day. I wish everyone on the board a great wknd. Up .01 it's a start.
Next Hard Rock Hotel= Hip Hop Hotel, GO COW GO!!!
Sounds Grrrrreat??? Are the folks who are interested in Philly?
Hey FLsun- Now that you are back are you going to be naughty or nice to HTRE???????????

Very quiet board and volume today although as you say more buys than sells. A very nice site for a change. Do you think we have the new bottom here?
It happens to be a GREAT news clip,but another missed opportunity,they still did not mention that it is the first public traded hip hop co. or the stock symbol. Anyway I hope Dr.Ben finds the time in his busy schedule to have a conf. call and address some of the concerns being posted and all that is in the pipeline.
Pizzacow congrads to your new assmt. and good luck. I saw your earlier post but I guess as asst. moderator your level head presided and you removed it. I am sure you agree this week will not finish where you predicted. I admit others here were right. I thought that it would hold .18-.20 myself. Afterall it is only 1 store SO FAR. I am beginning to think it might stay here for a while. DR. Ben's montra-Empowerment. Entrepenuership, Community. This stock must be affordable for those he wishes to bring into the H3 community. MM's might have the ticket on that.
What changed your vision from post #1537?
I just called the soda shop. A very nice young lady answered very professionally. I asked about the credit card machine. She stated that it was not operational yet but are expecting it to be running shortly. I also asked how busy they have been. She stated very steady. Although too early to tell, being 2:30 EST with university still in the middle of finals there was alot of background noise going on. I was encouraged. FYI
Good choice Boomer.
Anyone catch Discovery Channel last night. They had a 1 hour show about cyber gaming. Alot had to do with "Virtual worlds" and so on. In a nut shell they stated video gaming and competition is now the #1 SPORT (not entertainment) amongst the youth gender.
Thanks for the photo's. Just wondering why every guest at the opening wasn't wearing the H3 cap? I hope to see them for bid on Ebay soon!!!!
Does anyone know out there how the HHSS is doing on it's full first day of being open now that the hoopla is over? We need to get someone from the staff on this board.
Got the balance of my 100,000 filled @ .13!! Going LONG.
8 new HHSS to follow. Nobrainer!!!
Only got 34,000 filled at .13, went to .14. Lets HOPE we saw a bottom today!!!
I just picked up 100,000 shares. Going LonnnnnnnG!!!
There is a link on CNN.com search to HHSS. There was nothing on MTV or VH1
