Well clearly you don't. I've never seen a group of people hold a CEO of a start up to such strict guidelines that if they aren't met people think the sky is falling. As one who has been involved in start-ups in the past, there are so many scenarios that can delay things by a week or more and it's not the end of the world. These guys are focused long term, not on meeting every exact timeline an i-hubber holds them to. Did you not learn anything from Steve Weiss about how the Chinese really hold all of the cards?

Come on people...let's focus on the important stuff...approximately means just that...it means he's hoping and expecting it to take two weeks but sh*t happens sometimes.

Yes, but if they want to get off the pinkies it's a must. We'll get our 8k...everyone just needs to chill. We'll also get more contract news. As Steve said in his radio interview (and this is a HUGE point rarely discussed here) they work on the Chinese timeline. It's not a democracy over there so they need to follow their rules and timelines. If they say don't announce this deal then they won't unless they want to risk the deal itself.

Everyone needs to be reminded that although the shell is on the pinkies and the company is in canada, their business interests are in China and thus they need to play by those rules, not ours.

I don't know why you say that? When EDS was most bullish on this stock it has dropped significantly. I agree DaSilva was shady and his exit was even shadier but you can't blame a company that picks AQUI as stock of the month back to back and then watches it drop BIGTIME as a pumper.

Might be better to cut and paste the entire message that includes his address and timestamp. Many questions circling about these supposed "messages from Steve". I'm not saying you're making it up, but many are so just pasting the body of a message from him doesn't help clear up things.

thanks

That definitely sounds like a good email from Steve to me. Just weird that he pick and chooses whom he responds to. As mentioned, my emails to him have always been positive towards him and his company yet I haven't received a response since the first one I sent weeks ago. If that email really came from him that's great, but it's disappointing how the same people seem to hear from him but many others don't. If they bash him I don't blame him but if they are asking serious and professional questions, after 6 emails I do expect a response.

GLTA

You should send his response to Mr. Sauve. Doesn't have time for his company of the month pick for two straight months? Doesn't have time to respond after claiming the meeting would "silence the naysayers?"

I have reached out to Mr. Weiss 5 times always being polite and appreciative and he emailed me back only once. I'm sorry but hire an intern, something, but always be responsive to your client's customers (which is what we are).

I'm sure he was a DaSilva hire and when you take over as CEO, it takes time to "clean house" on aspects of the company you'd like to change.

Do I blame Mr. Weiss for the stock going from .10-.03...not exactly. But do I blame him for being misleading...definitely. Truth is, if this thing is going to blow up it's not going to be off the backs of an EDS newsletter. Too many posters here acted as if a newsletter from EDS about AQUI would drive the stock up and that's just nonsense.

I'll say it again as many others have said it already: Proof of revenues, proof of profit and an overall investor belief in this company are the only things to propel this stock.

Good night and GLTA!

Thanks for the post Wallymac...well said. And thanks for being selective on your posts to the board. Great example of being selective in prudent at what you post. A potential investor coming to this board and reading your post would likely feel very good about the potential realities of this stock as well as the type of people who are putting their money in it and likely buy in.

GLTA!

Don't blame Steve Weiss. Steve doesn't control the PPS...we do. And let's also remember a lot of what we heard from Mr. Weiss came from posters, not from Steve himself. Clearly there were a lot of people who were looking to get rich quick off this and pump and dump and they are now selling. Am I bummed...hell yah! But, this is a start up company so things are going to take longer to come to fruition. The CEO doesn't fly in for a recorded meeting if he's trying to pull off a scam. I think they knew that being upfront at this point would cause a sell off near term, but instill confidence long term.

Now if he really did tell people "all the naysayers will be silenced" then that's really too bad because if anyone is currently right about this stock, it's them.

If you're still reading this board then it's time to buy. This stock has dropped 300% on fear...nothing's really changed here. In fact, we know more now then we did when it was up at .10.

GLTA and sorry to all who were in deep and felt forced to sell. Pinkies rise and fall. This thing could be back up at .06 in a week the way these things go so I caution those who are panicing and getting out at big losses.

My question for those who attended: Did this meeting "silence the naysayers?" From the sound of it that didn't quite happen (not that the info was bad). I ask because I think we're dealing with a balancing of expectations here. If the IR sets the bar on this meeting at "X" and it doesn't reach that "X" then pps will fall.

They need to do a better job outlining expectations to help avoid panic. That's all that's going on here...panic.

Look on the brightside people, if you hold your shares for at least a year, once they shoot up you'll get to hold onto that much more of your gains so maybe the lack of meteoric rise isn't such a bad thing.

GLTA!

All I'm saying is to do two of these meetings for a total of approx. 20 people (including some repeats) seems like a bad use of time. My hope was that bigger investors would come to this one. To do another meeting for the i-hub board that is questioning it seems a tad wasteful based on all of the things they are trying to accomplish (rather have them back in China closing those deals).

All I'm saying is that I was hoping for a larger turnout to help drum up additional interest. When I said brokerages I wasn't thinking Lehman or anything like that, but a lot of smaller shops do actually play with the pinkies, especially when they are working hard to move up the exchange ladder.

I've been long and increasing for over 8 months. Maybe I'm just a little bummed as was hoping for some more immediate news. Let us not forget, much has been promised over the past 8 months so I'm only going off of that.

I'm still holding and I suggest everyone else do the same. We just have to be mindful of the next moves.

GLTA!

Definitely sounds promising and definitely is clear that patience is going to be needed on this one. A bit disappointed that only 16 people attended. That's not a good sign for the near future. If bigger investors were getting ready to invest in this company they would have attended (or at least sent a rep from their brokerage). Look for continued lower than hoped for volume but like most legit stock plays, this one could bear big time fruit over time. I think we're all going to learn what the word "investment" really means.

GLTA!

Amen Doog! Let them question it...only allows us to buy more at much lower prices. We all know that these naysayers really aren't going to stop this thing from rising. If details are released about this company that continue to stand up, additional $$$ will flow into this stock that far outweigh the $100 a day some people are making by trying to flip it.

Now all we need is more new money to enter AQUI and ride the wave to a new high.

Actually not a bad point. Curious to those who've been in communique with Steve (he hasn't responded to my last 3 emails even though most of them were positive and thankful to him) if he's mentioned anything about that. I really would be shocked if the CEO attended a meeting just to calm the fears of the i-hub board. My hopes is that this time there will be more than 7 investors in attendance from the board, but rather, some institutional guys as well...after all, to do a meeting like this in the financial capitol of the world and not speak to those guys seems like a waste.

I know someone earlier on the board mentioned that the target audience wasn't just us.

GLTA

If there was ever a time to average down with your investment in AQUI it's before this meeting. If they really release some pertinent news, you may look back and even wish you could have gotten in at .10 let alone .05.

100% agreed. Leave them alone because if you're relying on a newsletter to make decisions on this investment then you're falling for the trap. PR's that the company releases should be what you focus on rather than the personal opinion of one person.

I'd love for someone to blatantly ask, based on current revenues and outstanding shares, what should PPS be. I know stocks often trade above their value but curious what the baseline based on revs should be. Could be good insight into overall revenues and over how many years those revenues/deals are for.

Thanks

You are right but unfortunately A) some people are bitter that the stock isn't at $1...haha and B) some are paid to bash. We can't control that, but what we can control is making sure there is substance in the posts we make. Talking about your weekend, talking about having drinks, even talking about retiring off AQUI doesn't help the PPS like you think. People who don't know anything about a stock want to arrive at a place like this and see serious people talking serious business. 80% of the posts are nonsense or amateur. Let's all try and be a little bit more professional so when a newcomer does come to the board (how many other places can he/she go to find out info on AQUI) they feel like they are missing out rather than stepping into a up and down stock whose investors are just as up and down as the price itself.

Think before you write...many more are watching this board than you think. GLTA!

Then you should sell and move on.

This may very well a brand that could be considered competition (depending on how it's marketed), but that shouldn't affect a company like Aquagold at this point. There is serious demand in China and plenty of companies can all benefit from that demand at once as each company is limited by output. All this does is strengthen the position that what Aquagold is selling, the Chinese are buying.

Hey Jeff-

Thanks for attending the meeting and more importantly, being kind enough for sharing the info from that meeting. Did you say in an earlier post that there were about 10 people at the meeting total or was that just those representing Aquagold. Also, any idea on how many people were attending the "other" meeting? Hoping to see a spike in volume on Monday from investors in the other meeting now that they seemingly know more about the company.

Thanks and GLTA!
