Royal Dude, "...glass is half empty..."
More like 4/5's empty.
I paid .145 and we're now at .032 = OUCH!
I have been a Washington Mutual Bank customer for over a decade. This is (was) a very good bank and I like this bank very much. If it wasn't for that I wouldn't be here.
I am absolutely appalled at the FDIC has done to this bank. They take the bank and SELL it for $1.9 billion and they get to keep the money? And then the FDIC jumps into the middle of the bankruptcy as a claimant? What...?
And consider JP Morgan Chase, the competitor that gobbled up WAMU at this giveaway price. Their namesake, John Pierpont Morgan, was one of the biggest robber baron (criminals) that capitalism has ever produced. Working in consort with others, old JPM caused the Stock Market Crash of 1929 and the subsequent 6-year depression. Ironic how history seems to be repeating. But how can our government ignore the history of JPM and just steal WAMU as they have done? The answer is right in plain view.
From my viewpoint this scenario represents the BIGGEST WHITE COLLAR CRIME in the history of America, perpetrated by a gang of thieves who have taken over our government. They are on the way out so they are busy stealing everything that isn't nailed down. I suspect they would try to sell the Pentagon to Iran if they thought they could pull it off.
I can only hope that the new administration will "shine the light of truth" on what has happened to WAMU and the other unlucky victims of this "financial bailout". If not then is no longer any justice in America.
All just my opinion...
bbd
"It is always darkest..." as the ship reaches the ocean bottom.
lang, You're absolutely right. We're definitely on the same page.
And "saving newbies" is kind of a stupid concept anyway. Everyone is posting using an alias. How can you possibly know what their experience level is? Unless they ask for advice...
Best way to go is to just call it the way you see it, and phrase the warning as your honest opinion. Then hope that some folks still have a fully functioning brain and will check it out for themselves.
But if you post your warning message and someone responds telling you "you're stupid", or "your wrong" because this is the best stock ever, etc. blah, blah, blah, yada, yada, yada, and then "spin" it. Then that's what's called "Ignore the message and attack the messenger".
In that event, you have every right to come back here and say: "I told you so".
How else can anyone learn how to be successful in investing in these highly risky stocks, if they don't acknowledge their mistakes and embrace the lesson?
Only those who could see it for what it is managed to avoid it. Those who didn't are now stuckholders. No shareholder is here by accident.
Good Luck.
vp_007_99, Yeah, I'd like to take you up on your offer.
Please do, post that "list of 1000's of other companies".
I will be waiting here patiently for you to follow thru.
Obviously, you missed my point completely. And you even stated that my post was for "newbies" who need saving, and NOT for you. I guess you're right, as you're a self-avowed genuine "know-it-all". Not a newbie, but a stuckie!
So, it you believe my post was intended for others, then why did you even respond?
I am probably at least two light-years ahead of you in investing in these penny stocks, MUCH TO MY REGRET. I am not trying to discount your experience level but this stock NEVER made any sense at all. You would have to be a near-idiot to buy into the story behind this company.
Unless you have been asleep for a year you would have to know there is a recession in the works. And last week, our benevolent government FINALLY acknowledges what everyone else has know for a long time. So now it's "official". B.F.D.
So why would anyone want to buy a fancy boat that sells for up around $300K that costs up to $5K to fill the gas tank at up to $4.50/gallon?
Well, the standard answer that was posted continuously on this forum is that "rich people don't care about the price of the boat or fuel". Yeah, sure they don't! Well, the reality is that rich people don't get rich by being stupid. They sold their fancy boats a year ago and now the market is flooded. They will be buying those boats back in another year and be paying 5 cents on the dollar.
You see, that IS my point. Folks just see what they want to see. What their agenda will allow them to see. If a stock is this cheap it MUST BE undervalued, given the desirability of those fast and fancy boats. Yeah, right!
No doubt, everyone would love to have one of those super boats. It is the vicarious pleasure of owning the dream, via the stock, that triggers the greed response, that gets them into problems like this. Then, all of a sudden, it's someone else's fault. All business as usual in the penny stock market.
Good Luck.
What's most "sad" here is that people didn't heed the many warnings that were posted on this forum.
All of the signs were present early on that indicated that this was an outright scam and that investors were being played for the fool.
Yet these many posts were just dismissed as bashing to get a lower price. So now you have a lower price, but nobody's buying.
Inexperienced (naive) investors usually decide what they want to do FIRST. Then they look for anything to support that pre-made decision. And they discard out of hand anything that doesn't support their pre-decided agenda. This is NOT the proper way to invest money in stocks like this. It's called "wishful thinking" and it always ends up the same way.
And very strange how folks continue to blame the CEO for this. Why blame Orlando? He is just doing what crooks do. He didn't force anyone to buy these shares.
What's really "sad" is that it is so incredibly easy for a charlatan to setup a scam company with a great story and issue stock to sell to the fools who CHOOSE to believe the story. They lap up those shares like little puppy dogs crowding the dinner bowl, and speculate on how rich they will be.
Yep! "sad state of affairs here, a damn shame....". It is all part of an ongoing learning process.
And the story continues...
SirJoke, "whoopee" is right on!
Up 1900% today.
Down 100% tomorrow.
We'll still be up net 1800%!
LOL
mick, "...getting ready for next year..."
If you think about it, that poses a very interesting existential question:
Just how does one get ready for the inevitable passage of time?
Does that require you to actually do something? Or just contemplate it?
A lot of valuable time has past with this stock and they've done absolutely NOTHING at all for the shareholders. Not even a crumby press release to let us know that THEY KNOW we still exist.
Except for the recent PR that announced that THEY did a Reverse Split, after the fact. No investor involvement at all. Well how wonderful is that?
So how will Gorst surprise us next year? I can't wait to find out... Ho hum...
This situation would be funny if it weren't such a disgusting waste of time and money.
Just my opinion...
bbd
go big or go home: Oh, THAT BIDU...
Well, there you go again...
The Chinese government uses that search engine to further control and manipulate their population, as if they haven't done enough already. Now why in the world would anyone want to do business with a government that acts like that is beyond my understanding. Is it just the money?
The notion of FAIR BUSINESS PRACTICE is strictly a Western concept, born out of the supremacy of the Rights of the Individual and the Rule of Law which are the cornerstones of our democracy. The Chinese have absoluitely no equivilent to that because they have few moral or ethical underpinnings to their society. They gave all of that up when they went communist 60 years ago. To the Chinese it is all about winning at any cost, and westerners exist only to be taken advantage of. In China the State is everything and individual citizens are of little value.
I have previously made quite a few bucks off this stock over the past few years, and that's principally why I have still been hanging out here. But you know, the more I think about this situation the less interested in AIDO I am rapidly becoming.
With the pending absorbtion by the Borg ("Resistance is futile"), the multi-million dollar Convertible Debenture now in place, and the recent increase in the Authorized Shares, this thing is raising some very serious warning signs. Regardless of the potential of RFID, I don't think this investment is acceptable for me any longer.
So I'm going to do this forum a big favor and exit stage left. At least I haven't yet been declared a basher, for which I am grateful. All I have tried to do here is give my honest opinion as a FAIR WARNING as this situation has developed over the past few months. And I believe I have accomplished that while others have spun the facts in the other direction. I have "no skin in this game" so at this point I will just leave this up to the rational posters to decide, and hope they don't accept the spin without questions. BE CAREFUL!
So as a parting message, I wish to express my sincere Best Of Luck to all of the longs here.
And have a very Merry Christmas!
Catch ya on the flip side...

Great product line expansion, and about time.
Since they're based in Florida, here is another product idea that might be worth a look.
A modular dock system based on interlocking 2-foot cubes:

Perhaps they could become a prime vendor to this company and make the cubes out of recycled FG.

sabregold1999, What's "good" for one person may be bad for another.
And your initial comment makes my case for me.
I am just expressing my opinion here. I have done direct business with the Chinese and I know their ways. They will agree to anything or sign any contract as long as it furthers their agenda. Just try to get them to honor their agreements and you will quickly discover that their view of business is radically different than what you would expect. If you think that the Chinese make benevolent and cooperative business partners, then you are quite naive; more often they turn out to be vipers.
And I don't know what a BIDU is... or how one would ride it, but...this comment of yours really amuses me:
"All the investors that rode BIDU for a few hundred dollars did not care, so why should owners of this stock?"
WHY CARE????
I suppose the short answer would be that no one enjoys losing money, even if only "a few hundred dollars".
This company is moving to the other side of the planet. And you don't care? Just a few weeks ago posters were discussing if anyone would be attending the next shareholder meeting. Do you really think THAT question will ever come again as a topic of discussion on this forum?
sabregold1999, You need a reality check on this situation.
But Good Luck, anyway...

Wamu Bank (now Chase) lays off 3400 employees in Seattle this AM.
Merry Christmas JPM!
Iran75, Don't forget the E21 golf ball that's still orbiting Earth.
I heard it is going to rendezvous with the infamous STS-126 tool bag.
hawaii50, You just keep those rose colored glasses on as they suit you well.
Obviously, you don't see what I see going on here. You think AIDO is acquiring DDCT. I see it as exactly the opposite.
Here is my opinion of why the CD exists, and why the A/S has just been raised:
This company is being sold to the Chinese. If there will be "increased revenue" as you suggest, it will be paid in Chinese Yuan. I'm guessing none of that money will ever be flowing to Canada where the home office is now based; where the engineering and applications development takes place. In fact, if they do close a big contract in China, I doubt that any of the revenue stream will be ALLOWED to leave China. It will all be required to be reinvested over there, as per government edict. IMO you don't understand Chinese business as I do.
Hypothetically, if I were a principal of this conmpany, perhaps an insider with a big fat stock option or stock position, like maybe a upper/middle manager or an engineer, then I would be busy updating my resume right now. I certainly wouldn't want to be moving to China, or having to travel to China just to cash my paycheck, or exercise my stock option in Canadian dollars only to receive stock in a wholely-owned Chinese company. That would be a ridiculous and untenable situation to find myself in. So I would try to avoid this happening to me.
Speaking metaphorically (as if I were a current employee) I would much perfer to just find another Canadian-based high-tech startup, preferibly active in RFID if possible. I would shop around my resume until I found a comparable job. That way I wouldn't need to sell my home and move my family, etc.
So, that all suggests to me that there must be some sort of "exit strategy" being formulated right now, that will affect a dozen or so, insider principals, managers, developers, etc. Possibly the whole team will leave as one unit; maybe they'll even start another RFID company. They may have already written a new business plan and might be looking for venture capital right now.
I would guess this exit strategy (if it exists) will include the origination of some pretty hefty cash "performance" bonuses, to be paid before the end of the year. We're probably talking about a million dollars, or more.
Now, you get ONE GUESS where they're going to get the cash to pay themselves off and buy themselves out of the company.
In essence, these Canadian citizens are NOT moving to China, NO HOW-NO WAY. The company is being sold and they want OUT. The pieces of the puzzle are falling into place right in front of us; first the CD and now the increase of the A/S that will allow a massive hit (borrow) against the CD. That is TWO "nails in the coffin".
Of course, this is all just my opinion... And everyone just sees what they want to see. So Good Luck!
bbd
OK, who will step forward and "spin" this move as good for shareholders?
Did WAMU Holdings ever get the $1.9B proceeds from the sale of the bank?
Or is the FDIC going to keep that as their "finders fee" or "commission" ?
bbd
NOTVTP, "...against the government's best interest to let these organizations fall."
Nonsense! This is a criminal conspiracy in full view of the public.
It's not so much the government doing this. It is the people who currently control the government.
Bush and Chaney are all about paying back their cronies who put them in office. And Paulson is their puppet.
They have about 50+ more days to rape America.
Why was CitiGroup worth bailing out with million$ of taxpayer dollars...
...whereas Wamu was NOT?
Is it because Wamu is one of the very few high-profile corporations based in a state that is a bastion of the Democratic Party?
Or is it because Paulson, Bush, and Chaney are white collar criminals and Wamu would not further their agenda, whereas Citigroup is partially owned by their Saudi oil partners?
Or could the reason be something more personal, like Paulson has relatives working at Citigroup?
Who gave Paulson the power to pick winners and losers? And exactly WHAT is the criterion of choice?
Enquiring minds want to know the facts behind this ripoff.
That sure is short list.
Includes about .000001% of the scams out there.
LORTAP KCOTS, Ah, your're right...
Bad spec on my part. I was just hoping...
So a new "profitable" business... Now what will they have to pay for that? And how?
Every answer spawns even more questions.
bbd
workingman, That PR might explain why there has been no dividend paid out.
If they are going to wholely acquire AFBG and make it a subsidiary, then they probably wouldn't be distributing AFBG shares now, only to have to possibly buy them back later. Under these circumstances this company doesn't need two pools of stock. It just doubles the cost of filings, audits, etc.
This is just a guess... But I would think that the pending dividend will now be "scheduled" to be paid in AACS shares, instead. I think that is a much better deal for current shareholders, and a net improvement in the corporate situation.
This might have been "the plan" all along. Perhaps the previous AFBG share dividend was just announced in order to lock in current shareholders and bring in some new ones.
All just my opinion...
bbd
sabregold1999, Whether this process is Naked Shorting, or not, doesn't really matter to the final outcome.
This is basically how CD's work. You seem to be "falling on your sword" here by claiming that since naked shorting is illegal that this process won't play out. Well then, you are either naive or crazy. I suggest that you are under-estimating the power of greed, and the ease of doing this.
And again, I am not saying that this scenario will play out. But the CD mechanism is now in place to facilitate it.
So sabregold1999, if the real potential for naked shorting is the part that you're hanging your hat on in this possible scenario, then you are free to file a formal complaint to the SEC, just like the millions of investors before you. Absolutely nothing will come of it, and I am sure you already realize that. So Good Luck on that.
Do folks buying now get the AFBG dividend shares?
Stocks ususally fall in price right AFTER issuing a dividend because the core value drops.
So, from my viewpoint, this rise in PPS with no news looks somewhat suspicious.
Like, maybe it could be a deliberate attempt at PPS manipulation? Some folks here own many millions of shares so throwing in another $3K might not be such a big deal IF it can ignite a buying spree.
Or maybe the insiders know something we don't?
Perhaps now would be a good time to start a juicy rumor.
bbd
Shell King, Well, I think on that we can definately agree.
Some folks view this area of deep sub-penny stock as nothing more than gambling. I wouldn't go quite that far.
But if not gambling, it is definately a game. As in any game there are rules, there are goals, and there is a field of play. And as in any game, skill can be a big factor, whereas in gambling it usually is not. So I think it is probably much more efficient to approach it this way; simply as a game to be played to win.
However, a lot of folks come from a totally different viewpoint based on their prior experience. As investors, who understand other aspects of the market, they drop down into the penny segment to take a fun flyer, and they don't really understand that this is more of a game and not really an investment, or even a reasonable speculation.
At this level the rules are comopletely different. Obviously, YOU understand that. And I had to learn it "the hard way". At this point, the easiest thing to do is flush a losing position, admit defeat, and walk away. But IF you're "playing the game" you don't suddenly quit just because you're behind. You stick it out until the match is over.
So that's what I'm doing here; "playing the game". For me, it did NOT start out as a game-it was an investment. But it has changed radically because the CEO turned out to be a crook and a douchebag. How was I to know that at the beginning?
So now Gorst says they are profitable and have been for several quarters? OK, so he should prove that. If he doesn't then he is STILL a liar.
Good Luck.
bbd
sabregold1999, "...they have to borrow the stock..."
So why would La Jolla Cove have to borrow stock when they are about to receive a big batch of shares in another day or so? As long as the shares are delivered in a timely manner, within the sale settling period, I don't see any problem. All it takes is a phone call to the transfer agent to guarentee the share transfer.
I am not saying that this is going to happen, and I really hope that it doesn't.
bbd
sabregold1999, "...then LaJolla is breaking the law."
True Naked Shorting is generally illegal. Laws and regulations will always give honest people pause to think before they act. But that won't slow down a criminal, even for a second.
Once it's known the money is to be borrowed La Jolla Cove knows that the are going to receive new shares directly from the company. So they can sell short immediately, even before they cut the check to send to AIDO. In effect, the money proceeds that they get from selling short is probably the same money that they will "loan" to AIDO.
And "borrowing" shares before hand is not required, and has nothing to do with it. They are not receiving shares that are already in the float. It is really the sale of new shares. And that may be why it will not show up in the stats as short interest.
Let's just hope that AIDO doesn't tap that credit line. Otherwise, we're going to see some very bad mojo here.
bbd
Shell King, "I usually cut my loses when I buy POS stocks..."
Well, I usually don't know they're a POS until well after I have bought in. That's because the criminal CEOs are usually very adapt at dressing up the deal to make it look attractive (lipstick on the pig).
So, if you know before hand that they're a POS then why do you buy them in the first place?
Shell King, This wasn't a pink sheet stock when I bought it.
It was once a thriving going concern with an excellent business plan that was well vocalized by management. It truly looked like a winner with a lot of upside potential.
Then came the "quiet time" that has lasted for several years.
Rather than subscribe to L2 for penny stocks, just to monitor this scam stock, I would prefer to just flush it down the commode. Because that's where it belongs.
I don't like reverse splits. But if it can lead me to the exit then I am all for it. Anything happening here is better than nothing.
I am beginning to think that it is better to disregard everything except the share price...
...and the trading volume, and just play this as a lottery that comes with a nice (possibly fairytale) story.
That really goes against the grain for me because I am mainly a value investor and not a speculator. And I have been watching this for years, and have been in and out several times. And I'm still here watching for, yet another, chance at a profit. But the story behind this is really getting thin and transparent.
This stock has had quite a long history of future deals that didn't quite pan out. I recall the deal to tag the small Elk herd in Montana that was supposed to lead directly to the wide-scale tagging of cattle to track for Mad Cow disease. Then there was the sheep in NZ, the cows and chickens in Indonesia, the tires in Europe, etc. blah, blah, blah, yada, yada, yada. And now it's license plates in China. Great! What next?
The one consistent theme here is that there is always a gigantic deal in the near-term future. And if that one doesn't pan out then there will be another, even bigger one, in the landing pattern. The story here has been repeating for a long time. Way too long.
Well, I sure hope it works out for you and the other longs. But signing up with La Jolla Cove for what will surely be death-spiral toxic financing is not a good signpost for any future progress. Unfortunately, this funding agreement is a current event and not something in the future.
Somewhere along the line AIDO has to actually close on one of their deals and start a revenue stream from sales. Regardless of whether they use it, the existence of this CD is an indication that time is finally running out for AIDO to make it in the RFID biz.
sabregold1999, as you previously pointed out, AIDO is now, pretty much, a Chinese company. I sense danger in dealing with the Chinese in this way. At this point AIDO has painted themselves into a corner. So I don't expect to hear about any more future deals, except the the current one for Chinese license plates, or whatever. I don't see anything beyond that except possibly the insiders bailing out via the toxic financing route.
If you should see a new PR Blitz break out here I would be very suspicious. Most likely it will be a feeble attempt to pump the PPS prior to borrowing, in order to keep La Jolla Cove from converting new debt to equity at too low a price. I have been down this path before and it's not pretty, as the shareholders are the last to discover the ugly truth.
The only thing that is going to work for shareholders is a REAL VERIFIABLE CONTRACT for really big money. It's down and dirty now. So if they get that contract then I will be taking a big position again. But not before.
Just my opinion...
bbd
Shell King, "Prob dont have shares or are short..."
I don't have L2 for this, but my TDA streamer is showing Ask .0001 and NO BID for INSN.
I would suggest that this signals they DO HAVE shares to sell. If they need shares then why is there no bid? The sell vol is now over 33 million.
On TDA, INSQ is showing Ask .05, Bid .02 and Vol = 10,500.
If the R/S is 1:50, then 50 X .0001 is .005
That means they are offering to sell INSQ shares at 10 TIMES the value of the INSN shares.
Of course most likely, the only person having real INSQ shares to sell TODAY would be Gorst. And the last trade appears to be a sell at .02 which supports the theory that Gorst is selling.
But who would be buying INSQ today when they can buy INSN at one-tenth the PPS?
Without L2 I realize I am just winging it here, but these ratios just don't make much sense. As soon as the share conversion takes place the INSQ PPS must go to the proper ratio and PPS of .005
I suppose you have to maintain that viewpoint.
And I don't have any problem with optimism when attempting to read the handwriting on the wall. But often times, at some point, it all turns into wishful thinking.
A better question is...
Why didn't they go to Chinese Investor groups for funding?
There is probably far more available investment capital available over there than there is in Canada/USA right now.
And why did they have to go with a hard-money lender that is perceived as something between a shark and a vampire?
lifegear, ".25 earnings per share..."
Yeah, you read that in a .PDF file prepared for our reading pleasure. It wasn't even posted on their web site, let alone, in an official SEC filing that was audited by an outside CPA.
Yet you believe the number?
Can't you tell when you're being scammed?
LOL
bbd
The company has been technically bankrupt for years...
...so why not add a "Q" to the end?
Whether 4th or 5th letter, I don't think it will matter much in the eyes of a prospective shareholder.
Perhaps they just couldn't afford another letter. Or perhaps they were just plain stupid to choose this new symbol.
In either case, this stock is now dead as an investment.
From your posts this AM it sounds like you are just into buying up the paper, as much of it as you can. So IMO you're just trying to buy up all of the lottery tickets in the hope of winning the lottery.
Good Luck on your plan, whatever it may be.
bbd
Choosing a new symbol that end with "Q" doesn't help much either.
The trailing Q usually signifies that the company is in Bankruptcy.
I suppose this might save them the hassle of changing symbols later. In that case it would probably be the smartest move that Gorst has made in years.
bbd
sabregold1999, So you think that La Jolla Cove Investment's toxic funding agreement...
...is a good deal for Advanced ID?
"La Jolla thinks we have a bright future..". Yeah, bright future if they DON'T tap the funding agreement.
La Jolla Cove has a long, and well documented, track record of destroying small under-funded companies, like this one. I really doubt they are thinking much about the future of AIDO but only how they can make money off of this.
Being such an astute trader that you are (if true), then I would think that you (and others) are dumping out of this right now, just to save what you have left.
Good Luck.

Morris worm turns 20: Look what it's done
First Internet attack spawned panic, public awareness and security research
Considered the first major attack on the 'Net, the Morris worm served as a wake-up call to the Internet engineering community about the risk of software bugs, and it set the stage for network security to become a valid area of research and development.
"It was a really big deal," says Eric Allman, a computer programmer who in 1981 authored sendmail, open source Internet e-mail software, while he was a student at the University of California at Berkeley. Today, Allman serves as chief science officer at Sendmail, a company that sells commercial-grade versions of the software.
"The biggest implication of the Morris worm was that the Internet was very small … and it was considered a friendly place, a clubhouse," Allman says. "This [attack] made it clear that there were some people in that clubhouse who didn't have the best interests of the world in mind … This made it clear we had to think about security."

diamondguru-one, "the BANK FILED CHAPTER 11..."
Not true!
It was the holding company, Washinton Mutual, Inc. that filed.
The bank had already been stripped away by the FDIC.
Brad S, "...the gas price was a big probleme for cars/boat only a few months ago."
Very Interesting!
Just a few months ago, when it WAS a problem, the local forum pumpers were saying it was NO PROBLEM, because rich folks who buy these boats don't worry about these things (fuel prices).
So now we find out it WAS a problem, but no more. Great!
Well how about interest rates and boat purchase loans?
Oh, that's right! Rich people pay cash. I forgot...
