"No one cares about hamburgers... only the fact that the stock is worthless.."
And posting about it over and over and over and over and over again shows what ... that you actually care about the stock being worthless? You have a right to care about that, but, how does posting about it improve the situation?
Don't write to the ihub group about it, since you are really just yelling at stuck-holders like yourself. Write to Nixon. Tell him that that's what you care about.
So ... what? How are you helping me by telling me what I already know?
But what do bashers have to gain in this case? That's what I don't understand.
"... Hard to bash something that it can't get any worse"
But here you are bashing it anyway. Therefore, you must be saying that it's not really as "worse" as it could be. That's encouraging.
Here's the latest/65th Google review of Takiza Taco & Tequila Bar:
Why do you post that every day?
Being revoked does not mean the company is not operating. It is operating. People go to the restaurants and post reviews about them.
And why do you post that everyday?
From Joe: "There are NO signs of life. It's Revoked"
The company is operating. Those are signs of life.
... and how does posting that every day change anything or benefit anyone who reads this forum?
I post about signs of life and progress in company activity that might indicate a return to trading one day. That information tends to change -- for the better -- over time. I'll let others say whether they think that information has value to them.
Why do you post almost every day that it is revoked?
No, we just have questions about why you post that every day.
Since you are a moderator, why not just sticky your own post so that every day, when people access this forum, they will see that.
How about:
UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE, THIS STOCK IS REVOKED.
OK, that's progress. You acknowledge that not only is it possible for a revoked stock to return to trading, but you acknowledge that a few have.
The percentage of them is immaterial, especially since the majority of revoked stocks have been revoked for 'serious sins' against the SEC. They deserve to be revoked. WCVC was only revoked for not filing, not for fraud or anything equally nefarious. Not filing is a curable infraction.
Re May 7 and T53 - if that is so, that's on him. I don't make predictions, but just look at, and report on, the state of the company that can be seen by public evidence. The company survived COVID-19, and has made changes that indicate it has a 'going forward' strategy with operating restaurants, including two new 'brands' (Takiza Taco & Tequila Bar, Bodega Taco & Margarita Bar). Nixon even shows flexibility in his strategy, by changing two Illegal Burgers into these other two restaurants, to take advantage of the fact that he already has leases and licenses for them. If Burgers aren't selling as well, he's made a change to offer what is selling.
I'm not saying Nixon will file, but it doesn't look to me like the company is about to fold.
Joe, You said "Good luck trying to find a revoked stock that has come back and traded" as though there aren't any.
It must be my lucky day, since there are some, although a relatively small number. This proves that 'once revoked forever revoked' is not an absolute rule.
I don't know who is setting 'fake dates', because it isn't me. (Where did "May 7" come from?) I take note of deadlines, but I've never set a date for WCVC's return to trading.
Yes, it's a fact that WCVC is currently revoked. But it's also a fact that Nixon's company is in business, and isn't an empty shell like most revoked stocks are.
Of course, Nixon may choose to remain revoked, and thus screw his shareholders for good. But that's a choice he would be making, and isn't a choice imposed upon him by the 'universe' of the SEC that revoked him.
Re "Good luck trying to find a revoked stock that has come back and traded..."
This is shared research of three stocks that came back from revocation.
This one was after 13-months and 11-days:
https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=168558554
This one was after 15-months:
https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=168558552
This one was after 26-months:
https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=174008053
This isn't a long list, nor an exhaustive list, but it's simple proof that revoked stocks can be found that have come back to trading.
To havnagoodtime: Wow! Set the Way-Back Machine, Sherman! Thanks for popping in and dropping me that 'Howdja do?".
I had to jump start some memory cells -- including the process of finding old posts using the very limited, clumsy interface available to non-paid ihub members -- and reread some of those old posts.
Re that quote:
I'm starting to get Google search result hits on:
"bodega taco and margarita bar"
that actually point to their website
www.bodegatacomargaritabar.com
but so far only on certain menu items.
Their website is NOT listed on their Facebook page; I'm not getting a Google search result box for the restaurant itself (with reviews, 'come on' text, directions, and etc), and there's no Yelp page yet, as far as I can tell for either of the Takiza or Bogeda Taco places.
Interesting. Were you able to buy back those shares?
We're glad to know you're safe and were spared.
You don't have to be in the area to call and listen for/to background noise.
... and you are still posting that it's revoked. That is not new information. What's the point of posting that over and over again?
Yes, we all only want to know about filings and a return to trading,but while we are waiting ...
I read an article that I have lost the link to that said that before Nixon went public, he wanted to use stock to fund the buyout of several restaurants so that he'd have (my words) a portfolio of different restaurants to add to his Illegal Burger restaurant (or two).
The only one I remember, which he did acquire, was El Senor Sol, which became Kalaka Mexican Kitchen.
Illegal Pizza has come and gone (for some reason), and El Cazo Mexican Kitchen has a well (I heard due to landlord rent-gouging).
But now he has 6 restaurants with 4 different names.
One the one hand, that doesn't seem so good from the start-a-franchise perspective, since he's got no chains to speak of.
But on the other, I think it's a clever strategy, because people will look at the new names and say, "Let's try that new place," whereas if they were all Kalaka Mexican Kitchens, they'd say, "Oh, I've been there and I know what it's like already."
Arguably there are other factors, but given how long it seems to take to get licenses in Denver, and maybe in surrounding suburbs, rebranding an existing place makes sense.
What he'd do to expand (=franchise) any of them is unknown; likewise for how returning to trading would factor into it.
Any thoughts (other than "still revoked" and "Nixon is a thief, crook, and liar')? It isn't that unusual for a single owner to own more than one restaurant with different names.
No one can tell you if this "will trade again" except for Nixon.
It is, however, an operating company.
Nixon just converted two Illegal Burger restaurants into Mexican food places:
Arvada Illegal Burger into Takiza Taco & Tequila Bar (opened about a month ago)
Citiset Illegal Burger into Bodega Taco & Margarita Bar (opened this week, last Tuesday)
Aside from the above, he has two remaining Illegal Burger places, and two Kalaka Mexican Kitchens.
It looks like there are plans to open a second Takiza Taco place in Lower Downtown Denver (LODO), but that has been hung up in red tape for a year+. Possibly he just got his licenses granted.
Bodega Taco is open. I called, they answered. They opened last Tuesday.
Bodega Taco looks almost open. Check out the video at:

Pix of food, hard-copy menus, outdoor frontage, and indoor pix that seem to include customers at tables (but that could have been staged).
Over-caption text:
"As Bodega Taco and Margarita Bar unveils its doors, we invite you to indulge in mouthwatering flavors that promise to tantalize your taste buds!"
The main website
https://www.bodegatacomargaritabar.com/
doesn't have the front-page "Now Open" popup yet.
COVID hurt them, as it did many restaurants, but the evidence is that the company survived and has open restaurants.
Once upon a time Illegal Pizza pizza (in Lauderhill FL) got good reviews, but that single location has been closed since late 2022.
Unless you mean liquidation, retail holders cannot make any transactions, including any under .0001 that are not liquidations.
There is no way for 'regular folks' to know if this is being traded on the gray market.
Thanks for finding the Facebook link for Bodega Taco & Tequila Bar.
The only reason to 'care about restaurants' is that this company is a restaurant company, and the fact that it actually has operating restaurants, and seems to be having success (now that COVID-19 is over), might indicate that there is hope for it to return to trading one day.
No one will get any money back if it shuts down and entirely goes out of business (which more than a few restaurant companies did because of COVID-19).
Oh ... and welcome back with your 2nd post to the board.
I'm also keeping an eye on www.illegalpizza.com ...
The whois lookup
https://www.whois.com/whois/illegalpizza.com
says that there was some sort of update to the registration info on 2024-03-08. However there is not clear evidence that Nixon controls it.
Nixon didn't originally own www.illegalpizza.com, since a) it was created in 2011, and b) there was an Illegal Pizza in Denver in 2014 (if not earlier).
Evidence of that place on Federal Boulevard in Denver is here:
https://www.westword.com/restaurants/getting-saucy-at-illegal-pizza-on-federal-boulevard-5743890
which is a 2014 review article. And these two pages that still exist:
https://carta.menu/amp/restaurants/denver/pizza-public
https://www.seamless.com/menu/illegal-pizza-3109-federal-blvd-denver/287480
also show that it existed and once used the www.illegalpizza.com website.
Nixon's now closed -- but "first" -- Illegal Pizza restaurant in Lauderhill FL opened in 2019 and used this website:
https://www.illegalpizza.restaurant/
which now returns a 'domain not claimed' message.
So Nixon gave that up. He also let the Florida state registrations for the Lauderhill LLC expire in 2022, but up until last year he has kept the Colorado State filings up to date as a 'foreign branch' -- although I don't know how there can be an active foreign branch of an administratively dissolved corporation in its home state.
The last filing in CO was 6/27/2023, and the next one is due 6/30/2024, so that leaves a window for nail-biting until we see if he updates it again or finally drops that on the floor as well. But if the latter happens, that doesn't explain why the www.illegalpizza.com domain had a March 2024 update.
But, just like Nixon took over www.takiza.com (from a little ol' place in Texas), he could have taken over www.illegalpizza.com. So it may be worth watching.
But yes, watching Edgar or OTC Markets for back-to-trading filings is really all anyone cares about.
Re Bodega jobs - I just got a search-hit with the following returned search-text:
On a hunch I'll be keeping an eye on www.nixonrestaurants.com.
It was registered 12/6/2022 (expires 12/6/2024).
Disclaimer: I can't prove anything about its origin (other than its creation date) or its future use, but aside from there being a Nixon, TX, a Nixon, NV and a Nixon, PA that I get search-hits on for 'Nixon restaurants' -- plus a long defunct 5 restaurant chain of restaurants in the 1940s-1950s that were owned by the brother of (future) president Richard M Nixon -- I see no other claim to the name.
So, I'd bet other peoples' money that Jim Nixon will (or might) tie his restaurants together with that website (though it doesn't say "Nixon Restaurant Group").
Re "Yea how bout those revoked and expert market picks?"
T53 doesn't keep his interest in low-price stocks (especially .000x stocks) secret. Everyone can access and read financials -- or lack thereof -- on Edgar and/or the OTC Markets boards. Although company management gets the lions share of blame for their stocks ending up on the expert market and/or revoked, each investor has to look ahead him/herself. T53 doesn't cause those stocks to end up that way, and will lose his own money when they do.
Those who bash T53 should look in the mirror and bash themselves first, since doing any more more than saying 'thanks for the lead' on a stock that fails means that investor was short-sighted, if not entirely ignorant.
I'm not a T53 follower, and have not bought any stocks on his say-so. But those who bash him don't expose him as flawed, but rather themselves.
Give it a rest, guys, and make yourselves true prophets of profit instead. Then let people bash you.
T53 is just a guy who uses chart metrics that work (for him) often enough for him to have made money. He doesn't win all the time, however; but then, no one does.
Anyone who invested in a stock that T53 recommended (because he was in it himself) but lost money has no one to blame but themselves, because everyone has to do their own research and take responsibility for their choices. 'Blame T53' is just a way of admitting that the blamer was a willing sheep, too lazy do to his or her own due diligence.
"And I’m called a Basher…"
When you bash people and not stocks, there's another word for that.
Watch for the "Now Open" front-page pop-up.
I hope they start putting links to these restaurants somewhere easy to spot/find, rather than relying on accidental discovery.
On the main page there is a 'write a review' box that asks:
"Which location did you visit?"
The only choice now is the Glendale location at 652 S Colorado Blvd (the former Citiset Illegal Burger), but the very question suggests plans to open more locations.
If Nixon has the money to open more locations, does he have the money to file? [Plus the intent -- he has to have both.]
-- edit --
After writing the above, it occurred to me that Nixon could be closing his Illegal Burger places and replacing them with these Taco places (Takiza and Bodega).
Time will tell.
I'm not talking about investing in WCVC now. Several years ago when the company was still filing with Edgar and issuing press releases, it looked like it was about to break out.
The reason I mentioned it at all is that Rennova has now missed the deadline it declared (as tentative) in its NT 10-K, blaming it on their auditor. That's what WCVC did.
Try not to hurt yourself as you ROTFLYAO, maybe by missing the floor like you missed my point that was neither pro-WCVC nor pro-RNVA.
Hey y'all, take a look at this new website:
https://www.bodegatacomargaritabar.com/
I just called the number and there was no answer, so it must not be open yet.
Not that it helps the stock, but what are the odds that some of those diluters will get spanked by the SEC for being unregistered issuers, which is starting to happen to some who have turned convertible notes into shares in a way that breaks the rules for who can issue shares?
