Many a dreamy idea has passed right on by as the companies stock plummeted and died.
He acts more like a pawn in a game of hide the shares
Tom is good at making it all seem credible.
It's that personable approach to shareholders philosophy.
Most of the events here don't add up and RFMK all of the sudden finds a new market to run with screams winning like they all have in a very short window.
Look at Vinhaler.com
It's ratings are going up
Wait for the CANNAcig internet buzz minus the ticker symbols and you might have something
Website ratings can be rigged or it's just counting how many times I check it daily....seee

I am posting this post from Tom Allinder at hotstockchat.com
Read what he has to say below, but in a nut shell, if a company is under .10 and non-reporting, you may have issues going forward including steep fees. If a company is reporting, price isn't an issue, and no problems are foreseen. Going forward, if you're playing pink sheet stocks under .10, you're really at a disadvantage, and the MM's and brokerage houses know it. Call this a "weeding out process" by big brokerage houses. Read on.
Micro Cap Stock Crisis and What You Can do to Avoid it
by TOM ALLINDER on JULY 17, 2011
Over the last few weeks a lot has happened in the micro cap world. Probably the biggest thing is the fact that one of the largest clearing houses, Penson Financial Services, will no longer clear stocks under a dime.
A few weeks ago, Penson put in place a new policy that essentially paralyzed all stock deposits, clearing and what have you for sub dime stocks. This new policy is across the board meaning no certs, no DWAC, DRS, ACAT or any other method for any stock under a dime.
Obviously this does not affect companies that clear elsewhere… yet. Rumor has it that other big houses will follow suit.
There are two big impacts of this policy…
The first is self explanatory and we have already covered it; no more stocks of any kind under a dime through Penson. The second however is that many of the bigger online trading firms clear through Penson. This means that if a trader or investor who uses one of the big online brokers and they clear through Penson, that trader or investor cannot purchase shares of any stock trading under a dime.
How to get around this?
For the big online trading firms, if they expect to keep all those commissions they earn on the numerous daily trades on the thousands of Pinks and OTCBBs that are under a dime, they are going to have to clear these elsewhere. This may or may not happen and if it does, it will take a while. The only way to buy and sell stocks under a dime is through smaller firms and full service firms. Being that most of the action on these low priced stocks are by traders and especially day traders, that will not work well. Day trading and having to use a phone is like asking a neurosurgeon to do a delicate procedure wearing welding goggles and gloves.
I have spoken to individuals at many of the big Financial firms in NYC over the last several weeks. They are already moving to smaller clearing firms or setting up their own clearing in-house. It might surprise many to know how many big financial firms in the Big Apple deal with small stocks. There is too much money to be made to let the sub dime stocks fall by the wayside.
There is a caveat however… and here is the biggest point I will make in this article:
They will only take stock of companies that are FULLY REPORTING and DTC eligible. They do not care what the price is as long as the company is fully reporting.
In other words, there is a big weeding out underway right now.
Speaking of DTC eligible, those companies that have lost DTC eligibility are going to get weeded out too. Why?
Stocks that are not DTC eligible run a strong risk of having trading of their stock suspended by trading firms because of the expensive administrative nightmare it causes. What makes this even more painful is if the stock suddenly gets good volume. That volume will dry up as trading firms suspend trading in that security.
When a stock is not DTC eligible, all the week’s trades have to be settled through PAPER CERTIFICATES; it is expensive and time consuming and most trading firms do not have adequate resources to handle this especially on high volume stocks. To compound the problem, the traders of that stock receive an unpleasant statement the following month because the costs of the administration of non-DTC eligible stocks are passed on to the people who bought and sold the security. This can amount to several hundred dollars for each trader/investor.
If a stock is DTC eligible all transactions are handled automatically and electronically.
More on DTC eligibility…
One of the best ways to lose DTC eligibility is to register stock in any other form than an S-1. Many Pink Sheet and OTCBB companies are still doing things like 504s which is severely frowned upon by the DTC.
Many companies that have done a reverse split over the last year or so have had their stock “chilled” (non-DTC eligible) by the DTC. The reason they are getting chilled is because right after the reverse split takes place, the company registers more shares (usually through a 504) for sale. This pisses the DTC off and they chill the stock and no matter how many resources the affected company throws at the DTC, they continue to be chilled and the DTC becomes less responsive.
So the conclusion I have drawn is simple:
If you want the stock of your company to keep trading, become a fully reporting company and register new stock the way the DTC wants it done.
While these issues have caused much grief lately, I think for the marketplace overall it is going to be of great benefit to both the surviving companies, investors and traders.
We all know that many if not most of the Pink Sheet and some OTCBB companies out there are nothing more than ATM machines for the management team and their “investors”. Those companies that have no money and no business will be left in “no man’s land”. Those companies that do clean up their act and become transparent will stand a much better chance of succeeding in business and in the marketplace. The pool of investors and traders will remain the same or grow while the companies to select from will be far fewer in number.
There will always be sub dime and sub penny stocks to trade and invest in, there will just be fewer and the companies will be more transparent.
..... what happens when an official PR for this comes out?
Or do we even need more official than insider Shuman who first thing headed for a stock trading message board to take a FIRST LOOK at RFMK stock which has nothing to do with promoting the product.
Now I ain't that stupid
Nowhere in her introduction from RFMK did I read she was going to be investor relations.

Tommy's working this one and it's good to the last drop!
Holding my breath
Can't wait to hear your thoughts on things here.
Your back!
Good to see you again
Ouch
Just one more wrench in the fire.
Especially with how popular the e-cig market is getting.
...and, this ones associated with MMJ makes it even trickier.
RFMK has a winner to sell stock with
For now
0001?
RFMK is going to ram so much volume down this cause dem bills just keep rollin in
I'll give this to make it barely to 0016 and a few lucky might see two but then their gonna bake this.

They'll have it on right after the flaming shorts and the KFG knife collection
Going into sudden death round
Hush Hush :)
Cheryl Shuman was announced to RFMK investors to "conduct marketing, public relations, product placement, consulting services"
What the heck does this have to do with hanging out on stock messages boards?
I do not see the words Investor relations
Maybe somebody from RFMK noticed that.
Certainly insert-text-here not where it was announced she would be Moderating her very own Stock Message Board....
Man I'm confused

rfMk party on the patio
Shorty's having a picnic
And it's always my opinion!

The shorts are having a party on the patio
Maybe Tom is oblivious to what the RFMK owners are doing
....at least a blind eyes worth.
You know... Gotta pay the bills.
They probably tell him to just keep on writing and acting like that nice guy from Crumpler North Carolina.
I'm not an investment adviser he'll tell ya I don't know
The answer is "I Don't Know Ya'll"
Judah is a weed Guru awaiting payday but maybe starting to figure out that ain't coming and will take his P.I.R.D elsewhere.
Cheryl Shuman just backfired on em
Backfired I say!
