Welcome back Skully!! You certainly proved that our prayers
have been answered. We missed you.
Update on Skully. As of last night, Skully's condition was upgraded from critical to stable. We read some of your posts to him, and they had a very positive influence on his state of mind.
So, thank you everyone who expressed condolences for him and his family.
On behalf of everyone, we apologize for Zardiw's posts.
Skully made it through his many long hours of surgery. He is now in the Intensive Care Unit in critical condition, and will probably remain there all through next week. He still has to go through a number of other medical procedures. God give him the strength to face them. I will post any new updates tomorrow.
Thank you for all your kind posts and your thoughts and prayers. When Skully is up to it, we will relay all of it to him.
As of 7:00 EST., Skully is still with us. He is listed in critical condition, and the next 24-72 hours will be absolutely crucial. His family has asked us to convey their appreciation for our loving, healing thoughts and prayers.
As of 4:00 P.M. EST, Skully is still in the operating room,and he is still fighting. His family thanks you for your continued prayers and support. Will keep you posted as I find out more.
Skully is on the operating table as I'm posting this.
Thank you everyone for prayers for the next 8-10 hours of anticipated operating time to go smoothly, effectively, successfully, and in alignment with his rapid, proper, full and complete recovery.
Me, too Metro...and I like the feeling!
Based on the trend of quarterly filings each getting better, and the continued combined efforts of Jerry, Henry, Bill Tomberlin (who’s built over 200 successful companies) et al, it is reasonable to conclude that the next quarterly filings will continue the ever-improving trends.
See the 2005 financials vs 2006, vs the impressive improvements in 2007.
As I’ve explained in prior posts, I am a senior citizen who is new to the internet and new to this message board.
Members of my CCOP group all have computers, but are hesitant to go to a message board. (People get to see excerpts of a post, footnoted of course, like a news article being referenced).
We have less than a handful willing to post anything on this site because of how we get treated by one or more parties, and the flagrant disregard of IHub rules. The rule violations are so extensive, and the false negativity so constant that the environment here has become toxic.
As far as the ‘survey’ is concerned, it is impossible to do an accurate survey without several hundred shareholders participating.
I’ve communicated with dozens upon dozens of CCOP shareholders, and we feel COMPLETELY OPPOSITE from the way LGL and ZARDIW does for all the right reasons.
I suggest that all CCOP shareholders re-read all the prior press releases over and over again several times daily

Clarification of LGL’s Technical Terms RE CCOP
1) CCOP shareholders, I’m sure can appreciate how, as a senior citizen (and part time writer new to the internet), it’s nice to finally get help on these new technical terms/acronyms used commonly by internet users (Thanks, “Z”). It’s like having a SECRET HANDSHAKE everyone knows except those of us in our golden years!
2) Any of you CCOP shareholders new to the internet understand what I’m talking about when you have to ask a grandchild or librarian (or others in a library for assistance). I remember how everyone in the library giggled when I asked what “LOL” meant. It’s nice that “Z” can explain these terms simply, so we can use them with pride at family and church gatherings and in social situations.
3) We should show these common terms on the front of the CCOP Message Board, since many of us are senior citizens asking our grandkids or people in a library for constant help…..and, of course, we want to use these terms like others do.
4) I was so happy to learn (thanks again, “Z”) the commonly used term “LMFAO” yesterday (Lotus Method Financial Analytical Organization), I’m thinking of writing an article about this new learning experience and send it to AARP, so seniors everywhere can feel empowered and use these internet terms proudly.
5) My question is, ‘what’s the difference between the use and application of “LMFAO” as used in “Z’s” post, and “LMAO” as used in LGL’s post, as relating to CCOP’? Is one used only for financial applications, and the other general applications, or are the acronyms completely different?
6) Thank you “Z” for teaching all of us CCOP shareholders new to the internet, so we can feel confident using these terms commonly and proudly as appropriate. In fact, I shared my new teachings with my senior bible study group yesterday (Topic- Prayer and its Financial Applications) and now we’re all using this acronym. Thanks to “Z’s” kind assistance, our church group came up with a wonderful slogan we’re sharing with everyone. Imagine seniors across the country proudly proclaiming: “EVERYWHERE WE GO, WE JUST “LMFAO”.
Well, that explains it?????
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly,"Z". Could you please explain to me how this method relates to CCOP?
Clarification of “Z’s” technical terms wanted as relates to CCOP.
As an older part time writer new to the internet, I would like to be able to use these technical abbreviation/terms (that “Z” and “LGL” & others use) in my own articles and posts.
These terms should be explained to us “newbies” so we can keep up with the bandwagon.
Could someone please explain to me the proper uses and applications of “Z’s” technical term he uses in post #609 where, after the sentence, there are a lot of dots followed by the letters: “LMFAO”?
BRAVO, BRAVO, BRAVO CCOP!!!
My hat’s off to you, Metrolane.
I couldn’t have described Competitive Companies better myself.
I especially like the way you compared the revenues and losses between 2005 and 2006. The numbers are very impressive .
Revenues: “$l million during the fiscal year ended December 2006, an increase of 31.1% over 2005”.
Net Operating Loss: “$.05 million in fiscal year 2006, compared to an operating loss of $1.8 million in fiscal year 2005”.
Net Loss: “$0.2 million in fiscal year 2006, compared to a net loss of $2 million in fiscal year 2005”.
Thank You for this refreshing post.
Let me add my confirmation to Skully's post.
All CCOP shareholders (with the exception of a few) are happy.
There are many ways to profit from CCOP without selling your stock, including:
1) Bring things for Finders Fees/Royalties.
2) THE SPECIAL TRANSACTIONS!!!
3) Leveraging against when CCOP is over $5 and on AMEX or NASDAQ (WHICH MANY BELIEVE IT LIKELY WILL BE ON EVENTUALLY)
Those of us under NDA's are getting regular updates on the status of Waylinks (A Private Company), and we are AWESOMELY HAPPY. In fact, the last Waylinks update was one of the best experiences I've had in the last 7 years.
The road to registration is paved with shareholder groups coming together for the common good, getting group discounts and/or EARNING their group discounts by bringing the company good things.
1) In addition to agreeing with LGL’s comments about how important it is to CONSISTENTLY RE-READ OLD PRESS RELEASES. I also agree with LGL’s comments about how useful it would be for recapitulation/synopsis by CCOP and others, covering the POSITIVE GROWTH and the SUMMARY of all prior press releases so people can better see the big picture.
2) I think LGL has great writing skills. When you read LGL’s postings from the beginning until about 1-2 months ago, you gotta admit LGL’s still realizing what an awesome thing CCOP can be, and what a tremendous asset he could be.
3) If LGL did a recapitulation/synopsis of all the things he likes best, from start to present and then added his own considered opinion (labeled as such) about his personal vision of the company’s potential for a bright, compelling future, it could set a model that CCOP could incorporate, as an example, so press releases have maximim positive benefit.
4) If LGL were open to doing such a very important thing (re point #3), we (however many posters that volunteer to help LGL) could perhaps see his early drafts via private e-mail, give him any ideas for improvement, and then he could. A) post it for the benefit of all who read this board (expecially potential investors) and B) e-mail an editable copy to CCOP’s various people so they can all use it as a model.
5) This could potentially turn CCOP’s owners/shareholders into one of its biggest assets if LGL were open to using his great writing talents for doing something so potentially HELPFUL and IMPORTANT (I think if LGL were to be open to this, we should all SUPPORT this concept!).
6) THANKS AGAIN LGL!!!
I strongly agree with LGL's point regarding press releases. In fact, I think it's critical that we re-read all of them. LGL's point about gleaning "new nuggets of information" each time he re-reads PR's is such an important learning tool for all investors.
THANKS, LGL!
Hey Metrolane,
Regarding the suit you say I wear because of my decision for preferring multiple sources, I would like to know:
1) How do you and "your source" feel about the source(s) of these comments (in A&B below) whom you and/or "your source" claim to know.
2) What are the opinions of you and "your source" regarding the
reliability of the numbers used (in A&B) regarding these sources, and why should one feel the way you and "your source" think we should feel?
3) How do you think we should take these comments below (A&B) and especially their numbers when making decisions?
4) What's the primary difference between when "A" was widely published and circulated weeks ago and now?
A) "Company is currently trading at 7.47 times sales."
B) "Competitive Companies achieved greater efficiencies in its selling, general and admininstative (SG&A) expenses. It cut these expenses by $l.51 million, or about 82.5% in 2006, but was able to none-the-less increase its sales by 31.3%."
I also would like to know from other people on this board:
1) Does everyone RECOGNIZE the sources and these numbers (A&B), and without naming names of the sources YET (until AFTER Metrolane's response).
2) How do other posters feel? Should we consider the SOURCES BEHIND these numbers reliable and WHY.
After Metrolane's response we"ll all name where everyone can find these and other key numbers and see who all gets it correct.
Everyone will understand why I'm suggesting we do this afterwards and the benefits to all.
Finally, the above "contest" for lack of a better term, can help people watching this message board in many positive ways if we get participation. Thanks, in advance, to Metrolane for being
"a good sport".
1) I have worked hard for over 50 years to earn what I have in
CCOP. I "sweated blood" to get to where I am.
2) I continue to speak with multiple, reliable sources, which
is why I'm comfortable with CCOP.
3) I took a lot of time to pattern my postings, based on postings I like best, and I wrote sincerely for what I believe the benefit of all CCOP owners and potential owners.
4) LGL certainly knows how to get attention! His comments are so very inflamatory. Why doesn't LGL channel those negative comments to positive ones? Does LGL want CCOP to drop, just so LGL can cost average down?
5) I deserve LGL's apology.
1) I'm in my own category. I don't yet know the other's involved doing their own postings, although I like their writing styles, including numbering points and capitalizing key works.
2) I read Metrolane and LGL"s various posts over time prior to writing mine.
3) Metrolane's source's guess regarding suits reminds me of people looking at an elephant (trying to describe what it might be), each through a straw, with a different colored lens, where one says an elephant "is a blue hose-like creature", another says, "it looks to me like a great big purple butt with a tail", etc. My own opinion is that elephants can look different under different perspectives, and there are different kinds of elephants.
4) I, myself, VERIFIED CONTENTS of postings of others through DIFFERENT SOURCES beyond just CCOP officers so I could EXPAND my PERSPECTIVE includes DIFFERENT ENTITIES, either doing business with CCOP directly or indirectly....I was told by various principles or their counsel that BEING MORE SPECIFIC would VIOLATE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS and/or CONFIDENTIALITY agreements.
5) Jerry of CCOP verified details of the referenced postings, and he too confirmed we can only talk in general (not yet about specifics), and we absolutely MUST NOT NAME NAMES PUBLICLY (although we do so privately by abiding to very strict confidentiality requirements).
6) I'm not going to violate confidentiality agreements or rules about not revealing specific names, etc. I've heard from different sources this is why one deal CCOP almost closed was blown (i.e., violation of confidentiality).
7) Other things Metrolane describes as "have not panned out" more correctly could have said "have been delayed" and/or "have not yet publically been confirmed", which is what I learned, both from CCOP's side and other parties sides.
8) RE: "bad news"...What specifically? Where? I see postings in the CCOP section about very, very DIFFERENT companies in VERY DIFFERENT SITUATIONS, Those postings represent situations partly in direct contrast to CCOP. These negative inferences could create problems where none existed, simply due to perception.
9) A wise person recently told me "THE MIND IS VERY MUCH LIKE A PARACHUTE, IT WORKS BEST WHEN YOU OPEN IT".
Reply to Other Postings:
1) I've never done postings on a message board before these attempts. Hopefully, I'll learn easily.
2) Watching CCOP for several years, I've realized postings by POKERDV8, NUFSED & SKULLY are very well researched, accurate & easy to verify.
3) Perhaps less than accurate, negative postings get copied, mailed or emailed extensively....each time causing selling, apparently by people who, before deciding, should ask CCOP'S Information Officer first, and ask other entities known to be IN THE BEST LOOPS.
4) Imagine what exciting things could happen if METROLANE and LGL8054 connect with NUFSED'S "favorite" source via telephone for Q & Q, etc......& then return to this message board to chat again with NUFSED and SKULLY about best success strategies, points and valuations for the tens of thousands of newsletter mailings by others now in process, as confirmed by different sources!
5) Hearing from people with different perspectives, all privy to higher levels of information, sources & experience NUFSED prefers, could help hundreds having not yet responded, who read the postings.
6) Many familiar with CCOP are rumored to be working on better ways of painting the big picture. I feel great as we go from a couple of hundred folks who know about CCOP right now, to many thousands expected in the coming weeks and months, thanks to the work of many.
7) Ponder what if: thousands of people who may get various fun, positive, interesting newsletters (with contributors having decades of experience & track records), learned about this messag board as a place for constructive and positive, open minded discussion. It could be a great source of learning for all.....especially CCOP shareholders!
8) I'd enjoy knowing how others think of these ideas, especially points 4-7.
