Please note that this post is only my opinion.
Thank you.
I don't know what all this will mean in the end outside of the fact that in the short term, it is a huge blow to shareholders. IMO this stock will take another huge hit in the comming weeks as far as pps is concerned. As for the 1 billion shares there are many questions as to what Steve and Annie intend to do with them. To a point, I believe that most of the shares would be worthless to them, because by the time they could sell them the pps would be down to almost nothing. SLON's trading volume doesn't support that amount of shares even over a year. Even Steve doesn't have enough BS to carry this for a year in the case nothing was going on.
IMO, Steve has handled this entirely wrong. Whether his intentions are good or bad with these additional shares, he backdoored his shareholders and worse yet in the filing made it sound as if himself and the highest holding shareholders were in a meeting that came to this conclusion when it was only Steve and Annie in the room.
Again, IMO it doesn't matter what comes of this result, but the path Steve chose to take. NO ONE IMO can defend him on this one, because there is not defense. Just be straight up with your shareholders, companies have hard times and many fail to survive, but everyone knows you win some and you loose some. For a guy that once defended his integrity like it was the most important thing in the world, Steve if you didn't loose it before now, well sir; consider it gone.
Look, the setup of SLON stock from the get go was wrong. Refer to the second paragraph, sentence in all caps. Instead of Steve and Annie having to sell their own shares all this time; they had another option.
Authorized Shares
Authorized shares refer to the largest number of shares that a single corporation can issue. The number of authorized shares per company is assessed at the company's creation and can only be increased and decreased through a vote by the shareholders. If at the time of incorporation the documents state that 100 shares are authorized, then only 100 shares can be issued.
Now just because a company can issue a certain number of shares doesn't mean that it is going to issue all of these shares to the public. Typically, companies will, for many reasons, keep a portion of the shares in their own treasury. For example, CTC may decide to maintain a controlling interest within the treasury just to ward off any hostile takeover bids. ON THE OTHERHAND, THE COMPANY MAY HAVE SHARES HANDY JUST IN CASE IT WANTS TO SELL THEM FOR EXCESS CASH (RATHER THAN BORROWING). This tendency of a company to reserve some of its authorized shares leads us to the next important and related term: outstanding shares.
Outstanding Shares
Not to be confused with authorized shares, outstanding shares refer to the number of stocks that a company actually has issued. This number represents all the shares that can be bought and sold by the public as well as all the restricted shares that require special permission before being transacted. As we already explained, shares that can be freely bought and sold by public investors are called the float, and this value changes depending on if the company wishes to repurchase shares from the market or sell out more of its authorized shares within its treasury.
Thank you BA! Look a short answer! lol
Hey BA, IMO All info about SLON is not either always positive or negative and I post how I see the info and that can be either. I'm not here to bash or pump this company. I had high hopes before when I was invested and I would like to see what time can do whether positive or negative. One can have a negative overall picture of the company and still acknowledge postives and vise versa. GLTA
Hey Tap: IMO In order to campare quarters they have to be somewhat like. I believe that it was Feb. 2007 that Salon City went world wide and June of 2007 that the number of distribution points increased over 5000 world wide at that time a 50% increase. This in of itself lays the pointlessness of comparing year ago quarters. The company is completely different. From this point on; a year ago quarter comparison makes more sense, but you also have to include economic circumstances that will either benifit or cost a company in its quarterly numbers.
You said:
"Please don't try to tell us that SLON is on target with growing revenues. You insult our intelligence. If that was the case we wouldn't be trading at these all time lows."
lol, where did I say they were on target or growing for that matter. If you read the entire post you would see the most glaring statement of them all:
My last paragragh said:
"I'm not saying whether these numbers should be this; only stating the facts as I see them. Because overall sales IMO since changing to Salon City and the huge increase in distribution points about a year ago, don't reflect anything to what they should be."
This statement says and is why I got out of SLON if the first place, that the revenues created from this massive increase in distribution points is very weak campared to the increase that should have been even if modestly successful. How you get that SLON is meeting and exceeding growth and revenues from my post is puzzling.
My statement about better revs. this quarter campared to last one was reasoning that investors in the negative are holding positive to SLON and also to show that if this was NOTHING but a sinking ship then this quarter revs. would continue the downward direction started by the last quarter. So that is at least a positive for shareholder. Not to say go buy more, but it also doesn't say bye bye either. Overall opinions about the company differ of course. GLTU and thanks for your reply!
To sum up things in my opinion: To the question, why are the bag holders still defending Steve? Easy, two fold, 1. if they are in the negative, bashing WILL NOT help their cause and 2. the company is not dead, this past quarter although not steller still increased revenues, $83,664 compared to only $56,000 for last quarter. (I'm not comparing March 2007 to March 2008 as the economy was in much better shape, this is a comparison of the quarter ending March 2008 over the quarter ending December 2007)
This is an improvement.
I'm not saying whether these numbers should be this; only stating the facts as I see them. Because overall sales IMO since changing to Salon City and the huge increase in distribution points about a year ago, don't reflect anything to what they should be.
Just an additional thought: The stock market moves at a much faster pace then does business.
JMHO, This is simple, this is not a case of stockholders being scammed (outside of course; some of the traders attempts to manipulate for there own good), but is simply a matter of a business and business plan that has FAILED to this point. All companies that start up don't succeed and in fact the failures significantly out way the successes. All shareholders are responsible for there own decisions. IMO When you invest in a company you don't fall in love with the CEO and eat every little word spoken as 100% true and 100% definite, you invest in it based on the results you can see and the best % guess as to whether future ideas can come to pass. Also, IMO you should always have criteria for getting in and out of stocks and hold to it. IMO, The biggest problem with this company is the share structure. Because all of the shares are already accounted for by shareholders and Steve and Annie, there isn't a way for them to sell shares to raise capital outside of there own which is limited quarterly and is maxed out every quarter. Most companies when they need money either get a loan (debt) or file for a public offering to raise capital and or even some enter into joint ventures. None of which was done here and thus the companies unable to finance sales, advertising, new products, and marketing of there own company. The company is publicly traded, but not publicly marketed. Go figure!
Sorry for the long rant, but I can see why people are disapointed, but I don't like when someone calls a CEO a POS. I'm not defending Steve as I'm indifferent about him, but I just think that the negative overtones are pointed at the wrong people. The CEO is supposed to say whatever they need to when it comes to keeping the company with a pulse. Think about it, although refreshing, wouldn't it sound weird to hear the CEO of a company that you have invested in say, Yes, we are in a sinking ship. We built this thing from the inside out and didn't realize that once we got to the outside that we didn't use our space on the inside to a point that the outside could even be built. Now pick up your ores and start paddling.
JMHO The quarterly will give insight to investors and potential investors the current state and direction that SLON is headed. People talk facts, the quarterly will provide them.
Note: I'm not a current shareholder!
GLTA
Outside of the pps (which isn't were an investor would want it) today has had some good volume with a few other days of late. Some interest around this pps? IMO
WSM, good to go!
thanks
WSM & BA: I actually believe this (left where it is at) is a great piece of information for SLON shareholders to see. The float count was a huge topic of conversation between shareholders of SLON for some time. I think this information gives SLON shareholders something really positive to look at. Either way BA I will respect you decision if you choose to delete my post. The only reason I included the name of the other company was to provide proof that I wasn't just making up numbers.
Thanks

As you can see, SLON's revenue DECREASED $126,000 from quarter ending December 31, 2007 as compared to quarter ending September 30, 2007. At the same time comparing same quarters, cost of revenue only decreased $19,000. IMO, this tells me that the decrease in revenue had nothing to do with costs associated with revenue, but the lack of sales and/or interest in what SLON is actually selling. Keep in mind too, that the end of last year was slow for many companies. New investors will look at this and factor information like this into there decision to invest. There are many positives and negatives associated with this and a majority of other stocks. I hope to see a lot more views posted here that can influence constructive debate.
Note: I'm not a current shareholder, but was a dedicated one a while back. I was looking through the ihub board and wanted to see what was up with SLON. I was excited to see the uplisting, but shocked to see the pps. I started reading the posts and could not help but to see a endless amount of opinions with many that just keep repeating, but with very litte DD to back them up. On the other hand, there are some really good posters here with great information.
So as for a outsider, if I went by this board alone to make a decision to invest in SLON, there is no way that I would ever put any of my money in this company. If you own shares and either want to make money or make some of your money back with this company, IMO I would do a better job of advertising this company on this board. All I see is doom and gloom here. Also, I know many will think my post is negative so how can I say that the board is doom and gloom when my link doesn't help. My answer is that if my link was the opposite and revs where up and cost stayed in the ball park then my link would be positive. I did not set out to pick something negative, but I feel that this is the number one reason why people would shy away from investing here. Revenue and profit are King and SLON has little of one and none of the other.
Thanks

Revs and growth or lack there of are what will make this sink or swim, imo. I will let the numbers do the talking. IMO. GLTA
Please take a look see! I personally have never heard of a company needing to file its 10-K report to be uplisted (it may happen, but I have not seen it; of course until now). IMO this has to be a special request and/or a recent standards change in the uplisting process via FINRA. Below are two links to the last two Pr's released by Salon City; Note that in the first one, there is no mention of any other filings needed other then that of the 211 form to be uplisted. IMO this shows that a curve ball has been thrown into the mix. It went through SLON, the SEC, Bank of America, and the 10-K didn't get flagged as a NEED for uplisting until FINRA! Discuss!
Pay special note to this line for the link below: "Salon City will announce shortly the filing of a 211 application to begin immediate trading on the OTCBB exchange."
http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/071210/20071210005479.html?.v=1
Pay special note to this line for the link below: "FINRA’s compliance department is expected to respond shortly as to when trading can commence."
http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/071213/20071213005391.html?.v=1
IMO All or None orders can affect your order getting filled; even at the ask.
Ex. lets say the ask shows .012 (now lets say the seller only has 5000 shares to sell) the buyer may bid .012 which is the asking price, but may put a All or None order in for 50000 shares. In this case the buyer will get passed over for another buyer that is willing to accept a partial fill and in-fact may get it filled below the .012 price. The down fall to a partial fill is that your order maybe for 50000 shares and you may only get 5000 shares and still have to pay your commission.
Bottom line here; there are a lot of games that shareholders and market makers can play in pinkie land. IMO GLTA

Hi BA, just wanted to add my opinion to the pr discussion. IMO IF Steve can not say with absolute certainty that the pr WILL be out on Monday then what IMO what he should have said would be something like this: that he will get the pr out regarding the uplisting ASAP or something like a pr regarding the uplisting should be out in the coming days so keep a look out for it. IMO once someone throws out a day (Monday) in this case then whether the words were (should, would, could, will, or may a pr on Monday), shareholders will hold him to Monday. Also, you have to remember this is the pinkysheets and many investors have been around. If you have not looked at what things "CEO's" in the pinksheets will say to get stock traded take some time to do so. I think it can only help you with your investments in the future and it will also help you to better understand why many of the posters here question the integrity issue of a CEO and/or company. In fact, here is link for a company that you should take a look at. Please take note of the new releases on the left side of the page. Take some time and read some of them. Thousands of people, billions of shares, and million and millions of dollars later and the shareholders get left with Zero money from there investment and only a life lesson to hold on to. Also, after you look at the website and news, please take some time to read posts for the company, symbol JMCP on ihub.
http://www.jamesmonroecapital.com/index-2.html
Let me state with out doubt, that I'm in NO WAY comparing SLON and JMCP AT ALL. I'm posting this link for investors like BA and others who are not experienced in the pinksheets so that they can A. get a free education and B. so that they can better understand why such doubt exists at every corner with pinksheets and the information that they put out.
BA I hope that this can help.
Hi wetwood, First of all do you have level II? I will complete my response to you not knowing your answer to my level II question. On Friday pre trade; starting about 8:45 a.m., MM's were jocking for position on the ask. As far as I could see, the bid never moved. The highest bid pre trade Friday morning was .0105 and the lowest ask was sitting at .011. Prior to the market open at 9:30 a few trades took place. One was at the ask of .011 X 10000 at 9:27 a.m.. The second and third were at the new next ask of .013. Again I believe those trades took place at 9:27 a.m. pre market open also. (To my knowledge pinksheets don't trade pre market, so how these and a few other trades in the last couple of days have taken place pre market I don't know. I also agree with not allowing pinksheet stocks to trade pre market open at 9:30 and my sole reason for that is because I believe that mm's manipulate the stock price sometimes anyway and I believe that those manipulations affect the pps and shareholders greatly at times and I can only imagine what pre and post market trading in the pinksheets would do.) Back to your question, I think you should set your own min and max buy price. Only you know all the variables that you have. Consider these. 1 what is your current cost basis? 2. What are your plans with shares of SLON that you own, ex. short term hold, mid, long term, or a mix. If your current cost bases in .015, and you plan on being a short term holder, then I would not buy any more shares if it costs you over your cost basis; ideally you want to lower your cost basis and not increase it. Also, lets say you have 50000 shares of slon, that will be much easier to trade then if you have 250000 shares. If you are a mid term or long term share holder, then again I will for example sake say your cost basis is .015; you could buy shares cheaper, at, or even a little above your current cost basis, although depending on how many shares you already have, if you only have a few then you can afford to be more flexible, and if you have a lot, I would not buy anything over your current cost basis.
To sum up, IMO when adding to your share count, consider your current cost basis, current number of shares, and how long you plan on keeping your shares. Only you know the answers to these questions. The reason this is my answer to you is as follows. After the run in July when the 10-sb papers were filed, many people started the process with a few shares and as the pps increased there number of shares increased. Then boom, the bottom fell out and people where stuck with a lot of shares at a premium price. As the pps continued to drop after the surge, many investors could not stand to look at the large red number in there account and sold for what ever they could get. IMO this entire problem was created because of excitement and not of planned execution. Look at Friday for example, because the cat was left out of the bag about the uplisting (I'm not saying that is a bad thing, it is what it is) IMO I feel that shareholders expectations for Friday were to high and thus those who sold at such low prices at the end of the day. Which brings me to my last point for you, IMO whether you are short, mid, long, or mixed on SLON, when the opportunity arises, take some profit. IMO SLON CAN have a great future and I'm not saying they will or they won't. (there are a lot of variables that will affect SLON's future that we don't know.),but the over riding theme IMO in pinky land and where ever else possible; is that if you can sell just a portion of your shares and get back the amount of money you invested then you are now invested with profit and that makes decisions on what to do with a stock so much easier. I believe we saw some of that on Friday. Even though the pps dropped back down to .013, I think because some have a cost basis below that and alot of shares that they were willing to take a small profit and well profit is the name of the game.
Monday a lot of things are possible. I think though, by the start of the trading day, the lowest ask will be above .013. IMO If you choose to help the overall cause in put a higher bid to improve your chances of getting it filled all the while helping to increase the pps, then I don't think anyone will have a problem with that.

"I am confused by your above statement. Why would anyone SELL because it is not trading on the BB yet? That makes no sense IMO. The PR will precede the actual uplisting which could take a little while. Never heard of a stock trading on the uplisted BB BEFORE the Company PR's it!! I have been in two other stocks where they DID uplist. They ran hard AFTER the PR's."
IMO, todays volume and pps increase followed by decrease is a result of the FACT that A. the company is not uplisted yet (meaning that SLON still trades as a pinksheet not otcbb YET) and B. because the PR won't be out untill Monday. Those who bought today IMO are those that have either held shares before and sold off, current shareholders who added to their position, and/or investors that have been following SLON on a day in day out basis and waited for more definite uplisting news (as far as the CEO telling shareholder during the CC goes). If/when (I always state things that are going to, but have not happened yet as if/when)the pr is released on Monday, there should be a fairly good reaction. Major plus would be the actual uplisting itself from pinksheets to otcbb.
replace the word "would" in the last sentence starting (Major plus) of the above statement with the word "WILL"
Thank you for response! My post does not directly answer any ONE (volume, increase in pps, or decrease in pps for the day). My post is an overview of why I feel that SLON had the volume it had today, the initial increase in pps to start the day, and then a decrease by the end of the day. IMO people sold today because of a few things, 1. some were scared because SLON did not just run all day as they had hoped and 2. because some were just taking some profit; among other reasons of course. IMO all of what I posted in my earlier post is an overview of some of the reasoning as I see it; as to why the volume was not higher today, why the pps didn't just run up all day, and why the pps decreased and why people sold. Of course my reasoning is one my own and two could never cover all of the reasons all traders do what they do.
It seems to me that people were expecting larger volume and a higher pps and are dissapointed in the EOD pps and thus my post. My post is only my opinion as to why today went in all aspects; the way it did. Also, my post states (as you have said) the issue that the opportunity for higher volume and an higher pps will be after the PR (I will just assume for this post that it will happen monday) and after SLON actually is trading on the otcbb.
In the end, I think we are on the same page, maybe I just didn't explain myself well enough. Good luck to you drifterfcrc with your investments.

Also, IMO shareholders are not doing this company or themselves justice if they don't post like crazy over the weekend and on Monday. I'm not saying pump, pump, and pump some more,but I am saying that you want people to see interest in the stock and to get some excitement going.
Anyway, "Mondays PR" should bring much more attention to SLON! Also, remember, new investors that have never heard of SLON until Monday will be doing there DD (lets hope) on SLON prior to investing, so it could take some time. In any event I think the next 2 months or so should be much more fun then the prior two.
GLTA
Increase the posting here. It is nice that other boards are comming through for SLON, but where are all the posts for this board. IMO, between today and the weekend, posters should be going crazy. How long has everyone been waiting for the uplisting? Lets see some excitement. Yes, Monday should be big, but get the mojo rolling strong here today.IMHO
GLTA
Glad to see SLON got approval from the SEC to be uplisted. Congrats all!
good to go. Thanks BA. Do you know how long it takes; once summitted back to the SEC to show up on EDGAR?
There is a 4th amend. to the 10-sb, but as per the edgar system it was on Nov. 15, 2007. Could there dates be wrong or is it an amend. for something else? Any thoughts?
Question? Has anyone found SLON's response to the 4th round of comments from the SEC? The Pr said:
Press Release Source: Salon City, Inc.
Salon City, Inc. Responding to 4th Round of SEC Comments
Friday November 30, 9:00 am ET
WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Salon City, Inc. (OTC:SLON - News) announced today that yesterday it received a brief fourth round of questions from the Securities and Exchange Commission. Amendment No. 4 to Form 10-SB/A is scheduled to be posted later today to the EDGAR system.
I did a search and could not find it. The last amend. as per the edgar system is that of Nov. 15, 2007
http://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?company=salon+city&CIK=&filenum=&State=&SIC=&owner=include&action=getcompany
Does anyone know how long it takes for it to show up on the edgar?
Thanks in advance!
I agree with you on your any additional questions by the SEC comment. Steve put himself on the line with his last pr that stated: Pay close attention to the quote starting with "With this round of comments we feel we are merely days away from being accepted for uplisting on the OTCBB,..."
The SEC’s comments consisted of two minor requests: 1) to amend an accounting classification, and 2) to provide additional clarification of a confidentiality amendment that accompanied Salon City, Inc.’s previously amended 10-SB filing.
“The SEC has impressed us with their desire to see Salon City, Inc. craft an excellent document for both existing and potential investors to review,” said SCI president and CEO, Steven Casciola. “With this round of comments we feel we are merely days away from being accepted for uplisting on the OTCBB, and on our way to a new year and a new level of status among the investment community.”
Yes, I know that Steve does not have control over what the SEC does, but to make the above statement IMPLIES to me that Steve believes through his communications with the SEC regarding round #4 of questioning that 1. these questions from the SEC are MINOR, 2. Steve knows what the exact information that the SEC needs from him; for them (the SEC) to complete the uplisting, and 3. that once the SEC receives these answers, the uplisting at that time should only be a matter of days. Not weeks, months, or do I really need to go on.
For SLON: this is sink or swim time, because IMO from what I've seen from investors, if there is a round #5 it will be a TKO for SLON as far as current investors are concerned. JMHO In the case that there is a round #5 or more; it is your money do what you want with it and above all, lets hope for everyone's benefit to include Steve and Annie that it does not come down to any more rounds of questioning. Hopefully we will get some answers tomorrow before or during the trading day or after with the CC.
Here is the link for the PR if you would like to take a look!

I don't know how long some of you have been investors with SLON, but if you are new (around 2 months in or earlier) let me update you on a possible reason for current volume and pps levels. When Slon filed with the SEC to uplist in July many members on the board posted their opinions about the amount of time it would take to uplist (in many cases a guess of about 60 days) was what many members were going by (that took us to about mid Sept.) Now there are some other variables that lowered the pps (IMO not rightfully), but it did. Anyway once mid September came and went support started to waver. As more and more time went on without the uplisting the pps continued to take a hit. Again along the way there were other reasons for the pps taking a hit, such as the longer wait for the new website and webisodes and sell of company stock to raise founds to keep the company moving forward which has increased the float. During the span between mid Sept. and now, Bloomfield has sent many a email directing people to SLON because of pending uplisting. As we have found out along the way, the SEC has to this point; had additional questions regarding the uplisting for SLON on 4 occasions. All of this has taken a toll on pps and many of its shareholders. IMO what Slon NEEDS now is the uplisting ASAP (no joke) and new investors that will come along with it. Again, this post does not state all of the reasons for volume and/or pps amounts and changes, but is only to give a little backround for new investors.
P.S. If you want to see what uplisting to the otcbb from the pinks CAN do (not always the case just an example) while at ihub, search NAAC. It uplisted in mid October. Check out the nice pps increase. I do not own stock in NAAC. I'm NOT advertising it. Its mention on this board is for one purpose, to give investors an idea of what Can (not always, but can) happen to an pinksheets stock when it uplists. There are a lot of variables (such as kind of business, float, and many others factors that can vary uplisting affects) and again this is only a example.
Hope this helps. GLTA

Look at this. PPS down to .012 currently and still ONLY 1.1+ million shares traded. It is lunch time, market as a whole is slow today, and of course since SLON didn't uplist today it must be all over. Look tomorrow is another day and IMO I think SLON will gain support closer to the close because tomorrow is another day. GLTA.
Well Monday passed and it seems as though people finally value their shares enough to hold. If this can continue then the pps could see .02 today.
Well yesterday we had higher highs and a higher low @ EOD. If shareholders can continue to value their holdings then .02 could happen and if it does, that could open the floodgates. IMO We will see.
This kind of thing (large gap that is) happens all the time with stocks; ex. great quarterlies, merger, or any kind of great news. That is why you can see some large gap increases. IMO Many stocks however that do gap up in large amounts end up sooner or later filling that gap to a large extent. Again JMHO
Don't know who that was that sold those .012, but I thank you!
Good morning all. IMO Discussion topics and info on this board have been great. Although number of messages on the board are down a little (due in large part to the weekend) content on this board is greater then most. Here is to a strong start to the week! GLTA
Just wanted to say thank you stervc for your work here and you have done a nice job IMO.
As for SLON uplisting Monday, I can't say. Does sound like it should be really soon though. IMO What I would like to point out is that IMO; I believe all Friday did was put SLON closer to the pps is should have been close to for the better part of the last 3 months. I believe that the lowest (outside of the market as a whole ) that SLON should have retreated would have been between .02 and .025. IMO With the market downturn since mid Oct., it is reasonable to believe that a lower pps would occur and that a return to the .02 area would happen with the upturn. What Monday IMO needs to bring is VOLUME, VOLUME, and more VOLUME (between 3.5 million and 4.5 million). A slight increase in pps to about .021-.023 as a HOD and a close at or above .02 would place SLON in the price range that I think it deserves without yet being uplisted. Of course, if SLON does UPLIST Monday, all bets are off and good luck to everyone. SLON has a great opportunity and so do you the shareholders. IMO the next 2 months will have a lot of volatility (If SLON uplists in the next 5-10 days) I come to this conclusion because of the seemingly assumed uplisting, new investors as a result of said uplisting, new issue, launch of new media, feedback from website, and of course and maybe most important of all; market conditions. I wish all shareholders luck and would say, don't just give your shares away, but a goal that I always aim for is to be invested as quickly as possible with only profits gained from said stock. This goal allows one to continue to grow in additional investments with there hard earned monies while lowering the risk factor by being invested in said stock with profits made. GLTA
