Reading the proxy, it looks like management has been bidwhacking. Their shares have reduced from 24 percent to about 12 percent, selling off!

I've withheld consent on all of them! It should send a nice message!

Was going up nicely then someone bidwhacked 1% of the float.

tcnb has been holding nicely at 5+. bid support is at 5.29 and a large number in the ask at 5.75.

There are many banks and other greys that aren't junk, but neither Schwab nor Interactive will allow orders for them. Anyone know a broker that allows grey trading?

pretty boring week at tcnb.

Anyone know of any brokers other than Schwab that let you buy this?

it's dtc chilled meaning that the shares arent held by the dtc, so the brokers must receive physical certs. most brokers don't let you buy it e.g.
interactive brokers, wells fargo, etc. ameritrade didn't let you buy, but people who transferred to schwab prior to November can buy. people who transferred to schwab after November can't buy due to the chill.

Anyone in this thing? My concern is they are listing about 3,200,000 authorized on OTCMarkets, but their authorized was changed to 10,000,000 when they changed the name to TC Financial. Also both the transfer agent and OTC Markets continue to show the name Town Center Bank, when it's TC Financial. Finally, it has a DTC chill that has never been addressed. Are there phantom shares out there? Are we trading a real stock? Why haven't they updated the CUSIP.

dont be so sure

Before they went caveat emptor, I had orders with the broker to buy at .0005. It shows the orders are pending but they never execute. But shares move at .0002. Who trades these shares amongst themselves? Only brokers? I'd like to become an expert as there are companies that are on the expert market, but I can't find the manual. Gotta be a secret!

are there any brokers that let you buy IAHL? I mean... I get the expert thing, but someone has to be able to trade it! How do you become an expert?

File a lawsuit you mean?

I think it needs dumped! They aren't doing anything good.

Groups pushing this up, looks like a coordinated effort. I think management is doing some promo so they can dump their shares. Only they know what's happening with the bank which had a horrible 2022 and probably worse this year.

Looking good today @ .03.

Let's see what this week brings us. Last week we saw some unexplained activity. What will this week bring?

Lots of interest today, but perhaps we should be concerned about an R/S

Company posts no description of their business model on OTC Markets or on their website.

I don't know what kind of crazy numbers otcmarkets.com is showing for this, but the reality is there are 1,000,000,000 shares authorized and according to the company's website, over 40,000,000 shares outstanding.

40 million shares outstanding according to company.
OTC markets appears to be wrong.

Holding steady. Wish I got in sub penny!

What does this company do? It was a stock brokerage firm and then it stopped filing reports.

To reply to your pm a few days ago, this is a great stock that's done nothing on the order of dumping.

a. They emerged from bankruptcy in 1998 with shareholders retaining their shares and no new shares issued.

b. They promised a 100 to 1 forward and they came through.

c. I believe they will come through on the divies and that this will surprise everyone here who is short term.

I know! When I bought this, it was IOVNQ. I watched it go to IOVN then to IOVE and gets better as it develops. I have been tempted to sell many times as it's a new house and car for me at these levels, but I know I got lucky finding this.

I sold only about a million shares between .005 and .01, I still retain 10 million shares. I will sell a million shares between 3 and 5 (in orders less than $1000 each), and I will keep the rest pending my dividends!

You might be happy at 4 cents, 5 cents, but keep 25% or 30% of your shares in the kitty for years to come. Shell babies save this company hundreds of thousands. They need you as much as you need them.

Nice to see people actually reading the news here. This is a solid growing company.

Mojocash is going to help us moderate the board. Thank you Mojocash!

I would guess a week to 10 days for Sec of State then about 2/3 weeks for FINRA. About a month if they act quickly.

Pennyexpert247 has joined us as an assistant.

Nice trading today. Remember the price of IOVE is set by the traders as the company hasn't issued any shares since its offering in 1997.

BFHJ could truly pop on that news, $1 a share in revenue, legitimate operation, and 25c a share earnings before taxes. 10 million in the float, no?

could cgaq become bfhj's next target? they just announced an attempted takeover of thunderbird resorts that would put them in Panama, Costa Rica, and Nicaragua as dominant players and in Peru, Poland, and Guatemala. The DR is left out, and I think they might want to be there!

interesting a little volume on the greys for thunderbird resorts about 10 days ago. thrsf trades on amsterdam under tbird and is being the subject of a takeover by bfhj.

Thunderbird Resorts, Inc. (“Thunderbird”) (CNQ: BIRD.U and FSE: OSJ) The Board of Directors
(the "Board") has adopted a shareholder rights plan (the "Rights Plan"). The Rights Plan is being adopted
in order to reflect developments in Canada with respect to shareholder rights plans and is designed to
encourage the fair treatment of shareholders in connection with any take-over bid for Thunderbird.
The Rights Plan will provide the Board and the shareholders with more time to fully consider any
unsolicited take-over bid for Thunderbird without undue pressure. Furthermore, the Rights Plan will
allow the Board to pursue, if appropriate, other alternatives to maximize shareholder value and to allow
additional time for competing bids to emerge. The Rights Plan is not being proposed in response to, or in
anticipation of, any acquisition or takeover offer. The Rights Plan is consistent with other shareholder
rights plans recently adopted by other Canadian corporations. Under circumstances and conditions set
forth in the Rights Plan, the Rights would be issued to shareholders other than those shareholders making
a take over offer. The Rights grant each such shareholder certain entitlements set forth in Plan until such
time as the Rights separate. At any time prior to the Rights becoming exercisable, the Board of Directors
may waive the operation of the Rights Plan with respect to certain events before they occur. The issuance
of the Rights is not dilutive and will not affect reported earnings or cash flow per share until the Rights
separate from the underlying common shares and become exercisable or until the exercise of the Rights.
Thunderbird will submit the Rights Plan for confirmation at a special meeting of shareholders to be held
within the next six months. If the shareholders do not confirm the Rights Plan, the Rights Plan will
terminate and cease to be effective at that time. The Right Plan has been implemented and is effective
July 6, 2007, pursuant to the terms and conditions of a Shareholder Rights Plan Agreement between
Thunderbird and Pacific Corporate Trust Company, as rights agent. The complete text of this agreement
will be filed and available from the SEDAR website at www.sedar.com.
Thunderbird Resorts is a successful recreational property developer and operator in each of its markets.
Thunderbird Resorts’ success is based upon creating genuine value for the community and for its
employees and shareholders. Thunderbird Resorts achieves its mission by offering customers dynamic,
themed and integrated venues anchored by casinos and gaming facilities. Additional information about
Thunderbird is available on its World Wide Web site at www.thunderbirdresorts.com.

Might be hearing a lot about this as the Thunderbird board weighs its options.

If anyone bothered to dissect the press release, this acquisition would only add 2,000,000 shares to the float, and would provide earning of over 25c per share.

pinto, don't know if you still have some iove but soon it'll be abcc!!
