Concur. If you think that your local Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is slow, the speed at which the UN makes progress / decisions, makes the DMV look like a bullet train. And that's a fact.
QASP being in a communications blackout has a ring of truth to it. I base this on the fact that, in the past, Dean has answered every email that I sent to him. However, in the last 5 days I have sent 2 emails to him him, and he has not responded to either one of them. Not typical of Dean's past actions / behavior.
along similar lines, I received an email response from Dean on March 8th, that made a similar claim about the release of PR's after the receipt / closing of funding. Dean's response follows: "The funding will occur...then over the following five days, acquisitions 3-6 will be closed".
Although PR's are not mentioned specifically in this response, he did mention PR's in response to the question I posed him prior to this response.
I won't hold my breath but interesting if true.
Boardrider. I disagree. A few weeks ago, I asked Dean to explain how the repurchased shares will be treated / dispositioned. His response was "IN ALL LIKELYHOOD THEY WILL BE RETURNED TO OUR TRANSFER AGENT (COMPUTERSHARE) FOR CANCELLATION, THEREBY REDUCING TO TOTAL O/S."
Now, of course, he did include an "out" by stating "In all likelyhood".
So unless you have something to support your statement that "These shares are only going into the treasury, they are not being retired", I will bet on Dean at least for now.
could someone provide me (in layman's terms) the difinition of Free-Trading Shares? Thanks.
maybe delivery of prosthetics to peoples in remote areas via RAPT-equipped aircraft. Just saying.
So, are you going to stop by and see him on Saturday?
boardrider. Lastly, since I am unable to make the meeting with Dean and since you are going to be in the area anyway, I would like to recommend that you email/call Dean and see if you may meet with him in my place. Please let us know the outcome of the meeting. It could prove revealing for all concerned.
nope. had to cancel. wife won't let me stop on way to Disney.
jsraggsman. No I am not in the Jacksonville area. Driving through on the way to Mickey-world. By the way, I had to cancel my meeting with him on Saturday. My wife told me that she was not stopping. I am going to try and talk her into letting me stop by on the way back through. Chances are poor though.
stocks. Dean (or someone representing himself as Dean) has returned each of my emails. I try to keep my questions short and word the questions so that he can keep his answers short as well. Maybe not the best practice. Also, Dean (or someone representing himself as Dean) has offered to personally meet me in his office this Saturday and answer any questions that I may have regarding QASP. I have not decided yet whether or not this is a scam, but I am leaning toward it is NOT.
picked it out of the air. Dean told me "highly confident" that funding will close in next few weeks. What time frame do you put on that? I believe the end of this month is the answer, but I "give myself" the middle of April...after that, if no true, discernable path forward, then I will be officially upset with this stock.
I believe (expect) that it will happen sooner, but I was "giving" him some leeway by stating the middle of next month.
IMO, one thing is for sure, Dean is either the biggest liar, the biggest scam artist, or the newest Warren Buffet to come down the pike in recent history. We will all know which one it is shortly (by the middle of April based on the info that I am able to gather). This QASP-thing can sure keep one on the edge of one's seat.
in his email to me, he DID NOT use the term "phantom"
FYI. Recently I asked Dean the following question: "Do you plan to increase the O/S beyond 900 million anytime in the next 4 months?" His answer was "Not until the $350 million has funded".
are you saying that you believe / agree that the stated scenario would meet almost everyone's criteria to "prove legitimacy" for QASP, and at the same time account for the A/S increase to 1.5B?
For discussion. Any thoughts regarding the effects on pps if the following 3 items were to occur simultaneously in a PR (1) announcement that the $350 M is funded and "in the bank", (2) the closing of the first 2 acquisitions and date for closing of at least 2 additional acquisitions, and (3) increase of O/S to approximately the A/S level with explanation as to why needed?
boatman. appreciate the thoughts.
appreciate the input.
all, I am driving down to DisneyWorld near the end of next week. My wife has conceded that if I can get an appointment with Dean, that I can run in and speak with him for 3 minutes (and she is serious...no more), then it is back on the road again. So, if I can get an appointment, any suggestions for NO MORE THAN 3 "yes or no response" questions that I should ask Dean?
I hope so as well.
Stocks, did you ever get a response from Dean?
I think he is joking with you.
Thanks for the input.
Banker. In the past you have said that the big guys will soon draw a line in the sand (words to that effect). What do you mena by that statement?
Banker. I apologize if someone has already asked this question and you have already supplied a reply....I kinda hate repeating myself. On a few occasions you have mentioned something to the effect that the big guys will "eventually draw a line in the sand". What do you mean by that statement?
Stocks, any word from Dean regarding your email?
it is good enough. it gets to the point.
Please do send an email to Dean. I'm curious if he responds and what his answer will be.
not sure how much I would bank on the RPS concept of to "...reduce the use and expense of aircraft carriers." Just saying. However, if these engines are as fuel efficient, reduced weight, reduced maintenance, and reduced engine exhaust temps, etc, then I would think that the military would be interested (maybe even VERY). Use of composites, fuel efficiency and conventional fuel alternative possibilities are getting a lot of attention. Reduce use and expense of aircraft carriers...not so much.
actually no they don't (although they can). It depends on the type of audit. That is actually why I asked about the start date. If I can get that date (I guess I could call Dean but don't want to since he did not necessarily know that the essence of his conversation would be published) I can query my wife about some particulars about timelines for audits. FYI, my wife is a senior lead CPA (something along those lines) for a major international company that had conducted/been involved in a lot of audits concerning corporate quarterlies, major contracts and a few ACQUISITIONS.
did he give a date concerning when the audit process BEGAN?
I'm new to this stock. originally was just going to take profit and flip out. may stick around a little longer jus to see what happens. GLTA
it's as valid a "stab in the dark" as any other offered on this board. one day one of us will be right.
yes, about mid morning tomorrow, no later than the first of next week.
I'll buy back in, and flip on Monday, if your info is correct...so why should this run into the weekend?
