Will the next pr be quarterly report?? Anybody had a chance to talk to Paul D?
I know you are trying to look at all scenarios including worst case scenarios but those possibilities make absolutely no sense--why would you kill the golden goose for a quick payday--a birthright for a quick meal? I think the BOD are much smarter than you are giving them credit for.
Is the board allowed to pr their intentions to sell the company or to talk about negotiations that are in the process (if they were in the process) or would that be against SEC rules? I know I for one would like to know what is going on but need to be realistic in terms of what they are allowed to say.
How do you know there has been more dilution??
Can you give me the current share structure?
Is Paul Delvecchio really allowed to say anything without messing with SEC rules--I know I have seen PR's from other companies when they are in negotations with another company so it must be okay to do--if that is the case here, why don't they put something out for us? Anybody have Paul D.'s number?
Is the board not allowed to put out a pr telling where they are in the process if they are in the process or would that be against SEC rules?? All has been quiet on the home front for a month(since June 9)--the suspense is killing me.
If the price of the company is based on pps wouldn't it make sense to wait until next set of numbers come out at the end of the month--we should get a good bump up as the company continues to increase revenue and profits--is a fair sale price ever based on market cap or a fair p/e of the company?
I am starting to lean toward a sale of the company** as well based on the way the market has treated this stock--I know I have been frustrated so I can only imagine how the board must feel!!. There is probably a lot of frustration on the part of the board that they will never get fair pps value for the company unless they sell it.
The other scenario could be that the board will wait to see how the market reacts to the next set of numbers they put up in the quarterlies the week of July 19 before they make a decision whether to sell or not.
**all of this is total speculation on my part. Please do your own dd before investing.
why would someone sell 100 shares ($15.00 worth of shares) today to make the stock drop 21%. Are you kidding me?? Somebody needs to get a life and perhaps even a job since they come out about $5.00 to the good on the sell trade after commission is taken out. I know the economy is bad right now but no one can be that desperate for money!!
Very well put Nabbbss!!!
My only holding so all green for me today--I just can't find another stock with the revenue, expansion, profit and low share price(sooooo undervalued!!!)that fter offers. I am always on the lookout and ask questions on other boards but nothing so far.
I have read in your messages the respect you have for this man from day 1. You don't know how much I have appreciated your insight. In fact I probably would not be an investor in this company if it wasn't for some early messages I read from you when I accidentally stumbled onto this company. You have made my dd much easier than you know because you have been so transparent with us.
Please don't think I was trashing Paul in any way--in fact just the opposite--we need more men of vision and integrity like him in the world. It is people like him who make the world a better place to be. Not everyone appreciates people who see the bigger picture--I am afraid that could be what led to his downfall and that would really be ashame. Time would have fixed the share price but I am afraid impatience took over in the decision making process. Do you know what Paul's role is in the company at this point?? Holding that many shares, I would tend to think that when Paul speaks, people still listen, which makes me feel good that things will be kept above board.
There is no question where Paul's heart is--I still get daily hits on my facebook account from Paul warning of the evils of addiction. I really don't think he was building the company so much for the money but to help as many people as possible--I equate him to a George Baily in "Its a Wonderful Life" George was in the banking business for one reason--to help people get into a home--not to make himself rich. I know we are in this thing to make money but could it be that the board saw a George Bailey in their midst and didn't like it??
Good point. I just don't want the new tone on the board to be all about takeover speculation like so many pinkie boards tend to be--ie. thr* where the stockholders got majorly burned recently.
The kid has such mastery of his pitches it is amazing for someone that age. If he keeps up this pace of throwing strikes he hopefully will not end up like Woods. He had only thrown 72 pitches through 6 innings last night. And when he is not striking guys out, he is getting them to hit into double plays--3 in the first 4 innings!! His 89 mph change-up had the Braves totally off blance.
Late night post--just got back from Atlanta-went to see Strasburg pitch tonight--he is something special-threw a shutout through 6 until his infield let him down--threw one 99mph.
I don't want to see people getting into this stock as a take-over candidate and then if it doesn't happen they get disappointed and sell. People should be in this thing for the very strong fundamentals and quarterly financials coming out shortly and then if we get a take-over announcement--icing on the cake.
I like the thought but I really don't think we can base that on anything right now. I am really fired up about the quarterly financials coming out in July but don't think we can speculate beyond that.
Micro, I looked up your track record on the message board of other stocks and all of the times you have attempted to predict future stock prices as you are attempting to do here----several examples:
*back on Dec 31 you predicted mcl* would hit .50
as of Friday it is at .0145
**back on Feb 24 you predicted cbb* (which changed it's symbol to gbt*) would rocket to $1 with a contract--they got the contract on April 5 and it sits as of Friday at .06
***back on April 9 you predicted that chg* would "rush to $5.00 next week" and as of Friday it sits at $1.92
I think you had better come up with a different line of work because predicting future pps is definitely not a strength!!
Your past has hurt your credibility greatly so please do not try making any of those predictions on this board.
I am using the * to give partial symbols to protect the stocks of other companies.
WOW!! Spoken by a true flipper from pinkie land where stocks have virtually no spread due to the billions in the float!! I have followed and have been invested in this stock since last November. I have seen this stock hit .09 several times but have never seen the bid at .04 when the pps was .09 unless we are talking after hours. Granted because this stock has such a low float, there is always going to be a larger than normal spread than you would normally see with one of your pinkies. You obviously are out of your league here when it comes to actual "investing" as opposed to gambling. I would kindly ask that you speak the truth if you are going to put a message on this board. One bit of investing advice that might come in handy if you are going to play the market and actually make some money as many of us have in this stock--buy low-sell high.
Oh well. One thing about the USA team--never give up attitude. Same attitude with the longs here has paid off with a nice end of the week comeback as well.
Now THAT is the way to end the week--we are back on track!!
Now if the US can pull out a win Saturday--that would be icing on the cake. If you are not sure if you are going to watch the match or don't know where to view it, watch this amazing video!! It brought the country together for one moment in time--better have your kleenex!!!!
I called the new investor relations guy... he said the current qtr's earnings are going to be the best they've had... Nice guy but of course he cannot divulge everything. They didn't like the direction Paul Howarth was taking the company, so the BOD canned 'em along with the second in command.
He said some other things that were very encouraging for the outyears of this company. I Encourage all owners of FTER to call. Call ABT and they'll patch you in to Paul Delvachhio (sp?)
Thanks for doing that rjh!! Looks like more good news coming-- imho
Cannot believe the amount of interest in soccer that one goal has generated. Went to Publix last night--the cashier and bagger were talking about it and both said they knew nothing about soccer but were fired up now!!
It is amazing what ending the day in the green and Italy getting knocked out of the World Cup will do to make a guy feel so much better!! Go USA!!!
I have noticed that as well. It has been happening almost every day at the end of the day or just after the market closes(form T). Someone(s) is building a big position in this company.
In your last post to Lars:"I believe", "I suspect", "I suspect", "Selling will possibly increase due to possible exchange of stock" etc, etc.
You called Lars down for offering unsubstantiated info based on opinion, and you are doing the same thing. If you want others to stick to only verifiable information, you should really follow the same rule yourself. Lars was offering his opinion as you are offering yours. Folks are free to agree or disagree with either of your opinions, but please don't call down someone else and then do exactly what you protested against.
As a publically traded company, shouldn't we be seeing a pr on the change in leadership and what is going on at the new Ventura expansion???
Hank, based on you accumulation of shares in the company, you seem to optimistic about things going forward at this point--is that right?
Oldtimeinvestor--I for one did talk to Paul personally over the phone but it was just to answer a question as to when the next quarterly report was coming out--nothing insidious there. My other conversation was to thank him for what he is doing in terms of helping people who cannot help themselves. I believe I am a pretty good judge of character after having a chance to talk with someone---I think he is a man of integrity.
That might tell you something--had the same situation last year with pgne--amazing pr's--hit gushers every time they drilled but could never find anything in my dd on the company to verify location,rig company etc. Just sounded a little too good to be true. Lot of people got caught holding the bag in spite of all my warnings. Not saying this one isn't legite but walk carefully--if it is for real, this stock should be 100 bagger in the near future--and should be able to find info on these other companies they are doing business with--if you do find out they are for real, you have a gold mine here!!!
I can't believe my eyes--according to TD Ameritrade the market cap is now under $1 mill ($919k). And this in spite of the great numbers they have been putting out. Just wish we could put our money together rjhstock, Lars, joshua, veggix, probart, rhino etc. and buy the freakin company and take it private. With the profits they are making each quarter it would not take long to recoup our investment. And the best part is we would not have to deal with a stock market that makes absolutely no sense!!!!!!
Obviously a bump in the road but still love what this company is all about and the numbers they continue to put up quarter after quarter speak for themselves. I do wish Paul all the best--we need more men like him with a heart to help hurting people!!!!
Obviously we need to trust that the board knows what they are doing--they need to be sure to put someone in charge with the integrity Paul brought to the company as well as the easy access. I never had a hard time getting hold of him when I called the company. You have to wonder why the pr did not come out this morning since the news has been leaking out all day today anyway.
If this went down because someone put out some false info about Paul and the company so they could buy some cheap shares--you don't get much lower then that.
Yesterday someone buys 105,000 shares just after the closing bell. If you have been in this stock for anytime at all you know that it takes almost nothing to move these shares up and down. There doesn't seem to be more than 5000 shares available at any one price before the ask jumps dramatically due to the extremely low float. So how did smoeone buy 105,000 shares and not move the price at all. It did show it went up to .083 in after hours but that is not the kind of "jump" I would think would happen when buying that many shares. Anybody know how they pulled that off?
22 more beds--and the expansion continues!!
Has anybody had a chance to talk to Paul about Ventura County? Love to see a pr with that info in the next few days.
Wasn't today the day they were supposed to open the new facility in Ventura County with 22 beds?
It looks like there was not a single sell order today--if the mm's would not drop the ask below the actual price, we would not have been in the red today. Is that one of those strange once in a blue moon occurances where it's all buys in a given day and the price falls or is this something that happens more than we realize?
