jeff: that's cute and all but if you want respectability here -- don't talk about your relationship with your mommy
I believe you steal. Sounds like Chuck & I think reasonable advice on his part.
Thanks for trying
You're right and wrong. $0.0025 will happen way sooner than you suggest wildlife man. Look at past companies that have lived "The Miller Life" - it happens VERY fast and that's what PIHN will do.
Wow. Very creative. Let's just turn this stock north
Are you 6? To da moon - enough! I want this stock to grow too but why showcase your immaturity worldwide?
For all the buzz on this board, you'd expect upward momentum. What is the problem? Enough shorts - play long MMs
week's end
Enough about your share count. Is that why you think we are here?
Yes - first step: call them
Agreed! 3 is certain and I predict 4 by Friday
Your crystal ball is apparently easier to read than my Ouija Board! Ever try one of those Magic 8 Balls? I hear they're more accurate than most of us traders LOL
We owe it all to you
This company has such potential. It puzzles me why there is so little investor input. Come on people - lets talk it up.
jeff: I think you're onto a big idea. Why don't you put some more thought into it? I'm up to contributing if you do.
Despite the bad spelling & grammar, I get your point. In general, I don't favor RV's - however, they do have a place or they would not be allowed.
In most cases, RV's are a kiss of death. But, for a select few companies, this tactic allows them to jump to a higher board, providing visibility to more & bigger investors AND funding to execute their business plan.
Here is the key: your company needs to have a viable business plan and the where-with-all to pull it off.
NOW: as an investor -- do you believe that this company has these elements?
The truth is that the winey contributors on these message boards are either people who didn't do their homework and then come back to vent their frustrations OR people/MM's who are shorting the stock.
As a marketing professional and a GOIG investor, I suggest the following:
Consumers just want a good product at a fair price. They want it to be as painless as possible to buy and work seamlessly. The marketer's job is to make this transaction as simple as possible for them to buy. For example:
My Blackberry Curve does not have numbers 4 and 6 on it associated with the letters "G" and "O". Instead, it has the letters "S" and "F" associated with these numbers respectively.
That's a bit confusing isn't it? (IKE: are you reading this?)
Bottomline?
I would much prefer that GOIG's advertising says: "text to 46800" instead of "Go800" for this reason.
Rule of thumb: make your product "fool proof" (idiot proof)
I think Ike and friends were looking at a hard-wired phone keypad in their offices instead of a cell phone keypad when they built this.
But, because the concept is so sound, it will be successful. I just hope someone at corporate is reading this...
?? I was being cynical - you know - facetious?
I posted last night about some interesting correlations between FRDM and Wayne Huizenga's storied career. However, it was deleted by iHub for some reason - so here goes again:
For those of you not familiar with Mr. Huizenga, here is an abstract from About.com:
"Wayne Huizenga is a man of distinction. He's the only person in history to build three Fortune 1000 companies practically from scratch: Waste Management, Blockbuster Entertainment and AutoNation. He is the only person to have developed six NYSE-listed companies. He also owns the Miami Dolphins and is previous owner of the Florida Marlins baseball team and the Panthers hockey team, making him the only person ever to own three pro teams in a single market, two of which won national championships."
As this bio depicts, Mr. Huizenga has deep ties to Florida and a great deal of success in building businesses.
How does this tie back to Freedom Environmental Services? Well, for one, the company is Florida based. In addition, the business plan for FRDM is growth by acquisition in its core business (which we are currently witnessing) PLUS vertical development of a green-based business.
Is this simply a coincidence or could there be an underlying relationship? We can only hope for the latter!
Either way, IMO, FRDM is on the right path.
Wow.... that's a bbbbbbbrilliant conclusion
Tavy: You are a virtual wealth of information. You must teach classes on this. Any other companies/message boards that you share your wisdom on? (Just working to update my black list.)
Me too. I always over-react when an unknown entity visits and makes outlandish claims. It's the only sane response.
TR: this needs to get posted everywhere! Hopefully Brendan will push this.
I agree completely. Terrible. Really terrible. Why waste time posting here? Hmmm --
Dude: thanks for the add. I will start putting more of a microscope on FRDM. As noted in my last post, I believe this company has long legs and underlying $ support (obvious from recent acquisition activity). Could be that hometown boy is about to tackle the big city.
Once again, I hope stockholders reread my recent post#928 (link below) about Category 3 Companies - this is a classic example.

P.S. TO DUDE: I do not have Private Reply capability on my membership.
Advantage: quoting you:
"Lecere has a great idea, with outstanding technical leadership.......but......we just need to polish the CEO into a person worthy of heading up a NASDAQ OTCC listed company......I simply don't feel he is at that level yet.....in my humble honest opinion..."
In all fairness, I agree that Mr. Morris probably shouldn't get in the weeds with investors on message boards. But, as I have written on iHub previously -- it does show me 2 big positives:
1. Jim cares about his investors and their issues.
2. He has a backbone & will fight to make this a success.
Very importantly, this is not his first rodeo. He is a proven entity. He has created and sold a software company for over $100 Million dollars! I believe that this alone grants him a little space and understanding regarding his impatience with incessant communications from a throng of $1k investors while he is trying to build an enterprise.
I am one of the throng - but I also have a few decades of business experience under my belt. It is my opinion that we need for Jim to remove himself from the frustrations of watching the message board commentary and turn it over to someone else so that he can get on with building the business. However, I also know that he is having to run this on a shoestring and there isn't a lot of qualified free labor you can rely on to speak to an all important investor community right now (the ones paying the short term bills.)
It's a balancing act and I suspect you can understand where the barbed responses from Jim come from. BUT, have patience and pray for a little luck and I am very confident we will all be quite happy that we relied on his experience over the coming months and years.
Croc: you are such a breath of fresh air on this board! Thanks for being a voice of cautious optimism. You almost single-handedly offset a bastion of bad karma on this board. Keep the faith!
Gotta love conspiracy theorists.
rfranke: My takeaways from Mr. Morris' email:
1. He is interested in what stockholders have to say or he wouldn't be reading message boards.
2. He is a man with a backbone and a bit of a temper and doesn't take kindly to uninformed comments or blatant bashing with no truth behind them.
Subscribers to this board need to ask themselves whether we want our CEO spending his valuable time responding to investor calls and emails or building this business. In the short term, I would rather he ignore these distractions and invest his time in LCRE. Communications from him via informative PR's and his CEO Blog are completely acceptable. We don't need more that.
Profound
Roger that curbstone!
No, I didn't see this - thanks BK.
Informative and interesting. Constructive criticism: the author of the blog you provided the link for (ZAGROS) needs to get a spell checker and take an English lesson or two. Man!
Vipyr - my compliments on your latest post. My sentiments exactly. If these proven, talented people are risking their reputations by 'associating' with the likes of MM - I doubt they did so without in-depth DD.
Don't know. If you look at the link I provided, in the box to left it shows a date of 2010. And it's posted above other posts dated 2010 I believe.
I have the same question. Wish someone more enlightened could fill us in.
Could very well be - in fact I hope so considering his $ and business background.
This may have been posted previously but I just ran across this excerpt from a post on www.CEOcentral.com (dated August 16, 2010):
"Ike H. Sutton, John Baird, Phillip Welsh, Parry Long, and the 5th member are to be appointed by the China subsidiary."
Mr. Ike H Sutton said, "My role with GOIG moving forward will be reduced and only focused on USA operations. GOIG is being structured as a real mid-size growth company with active board members, new company CEO for China to be announced shortly and the launch of our new corporate web site shortly. We are skipping the usual formalities of praising officers and directors of the merged company. We are serious about increasing shareholder value and are immediately getting down to business."
* This is the first I've heard of the "China subsidiary", etc. Can anyone shed more light on this please?

Great DD guguli. Thanks for the clarity.
