You've got to be kidding me!
It's the biggest project to date, and it's already gotten us a deal with Fox. If it's a hit in any way, the PPS should soar.
To think otherwise seems rather rediculous to me.
It's like saying that Ford's success doesn't depend on how many cars it sells.
There are already 150 listed as of now.
It wasn't for Gun, it was for TDGI's Twelve. Just a bad listing in that rag.
That's 100 shares, not 100k
So somebody had a sell order for .30 worth of stock...
It's also odd that coordinated with these new clueless basher posters, someone is selling off between 100 and 7k shares at a time at the bid, sometimes below it to try and drop the price and shake the tree.
Somebody's trying to get in lower IMO. Don't let 'em.
Show me some evidence of this and we'll talk.
There is not one shred of evidence and you know it. There's real movies, real management, a real publicist that I've personally spoken with, and NO DILUTION!!!!!!!!!!! How can you call it a share selling scam when they're not diluting?
Geeze.
No, I used your words and nothing else. You're demonizing me for quoting you! Wow. That's not called killing the messenger.
Personally I think that many of your statements are based on rumor and innuendo based on partial truths, so when you make an obvious double statement like that, it pretty much keeps me from believing anything else you say. No one in their right mind would call 500 shares "just in case" shares. What, just in case we get to $1 you'll make $500? C'mon.
Whether you sell or not is your own business. I don't care.
But your SELF ASSUMED public persona on here as the head Mod gave the comments that I feel aren't totally truthful way more weight than if any of the rest of us had said it. I don't understand your motives for bashing this stock after you're out of it, other than you want the PPS lower. If not, just leave it alone... and you haven't done that, now have you?
Rain at 1PM:
"Personally, I have a few just in case shares here but have lost a lot of confidence in Eric."
Rain at 4PM:
"So let's try this. I own no shares of TDGI. I bought no shares today. I sold no shares today. I am totally out of this stock and have no intention of buying shares."
huh?
Agreed mostly.
But I have to say that the moderator of the largest TDGI forum, and someone that brought quite a few people here turning into a basher all based on rumor has something to do with today's action.
All his choice, but kinda crappy IMO.
I don't blame Rainmaker for selling, I just think the way he went from pumper to basher ALL based on rumor was pretty trashy. He didn't have to announce he was selling... especially since he's not just an ordinary shareholder. He led people here and was the moderator of the board. I wouldn't be surprised if he was buying the low 2's.
Oh well. I'll just put him on my s***list and wait for this to climb back.
Well I'm in for quite a few hundred thousand shares, as today and yesterday allowed me to add.
I don't understand why someone would see this news as bad news considering Eric's history of transparency and action... in fact I think it's great and I'm excited. The action today does make my stomach turn a bit, though. hehe
It's a people.com poll. It doesn't matter if you skew it. Not like the serious "result" matters. It's only for promotion... so if wins then we might catch a few curious eyes and get some tickets sold.
Why wouldn't we want to win it and why do we care that it's a serious poll? lol Unless you're going to sell your stock if we don't win some people.com poll... then you're just being silly.
That was me... at least all but 15k shares of the last buy.
Uh, hold on a second. Racing Dreams has been out for what, 5 days? You seem to be writing off it's profit potential a little bit there in such a dismissive statement.
I haven't been one issuing crazy projections, and it's important to be objective, especially in penny stock world. To me it's way too early to say what kind of result this flick will make us and diminishing it's future to try and sound reasonable seems foolish to me.
Also, all of these people that are so worried about a R/S or the merger, do you really think they'd be PRing it if it weren't going to be good for us? This isn't ZVTK, THRR, QASP, or SPNG we're talking about here.
These guys know what they're doing, and I think it's ok to be sunny side up and very excited about the opportunities that exist here at this PPS.
Then again, I can understand why people would be suspecting with all the other pink scams out here.
Always good to know what you're working with, but I have full confidence in these guys.
I agree. There's nothing bad about being close to a deal to uplist, and you know they're not going to devalue their own shares just to do it.
I don't see how anyone can see this as a bad thing right now. There's not even any numbers on it yet.
From the Hannover Facebook:
Hannover House: Racing Dreams -- the film has been HELD OVER in 9 of the 12 initial theatrical markets! We haven't won the race yet, but we're still zipping 'round the track!
Good point. This might spread, might not. Way too early to judge.
OK, if some are misses and some "break even" I would take it to mean that the "misses" lost money.
Not "amazing" to correct you when I thought you needed correcting. Wasn't trying to be argumentative or put words in your mouth, geeze.
Good god. It's a 30 something theater initial release of a documentary and break it down like it's really going to matter in the long run. Have you not done enough DD on this company to know how solid it is, how undervalued it's priced, and how the deals to put out this (and the other) films were financed?
You're taking this WAY overboard.
"Hannover House isn't just a 1 hit wonder, there will be many movies and books that will add to the pile of revenues, some will be hits, some will be misses and some will break even"
Actually, from what Eric's said there's hardly any way that they lose money on any of these.
RACING DREAMS 100 Review Score on Rotten Tomatoes!
http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/racing_dream/
I agree with you about LARPers, but NASCAR people are generally younger/middle aged, middle class suburban and rural people, and they for sure have 401ks.
From MSNBC:
"There is significant evidence that suggests that all sports sponsorships do move stock prices, but nothing does it like NASCAR," said Dr. Stephen Pruitt, a professor at the University of Missouri.
One explanation for the strong link is that fans are rooting not just for teams, but for corporations.
This has led some Fortune 500 companies to abandon sponsorship deals in other sports.
Kodak is one of them. Bud Denker is its director of brand and market development.
"We found the participation of NASCAR to be one of our biggest ROIs, from a return standpoint. In fact, we have not taken away and rationalized a lot of the dollars we spend on stick and ball sports and brought those dollars to this partnership because it pays out so well for us," Denker said.
How much does it cost?
"Every team is different ... ballpark a low of $10 million and a high of $20 million, depending on the team," NASCAR's Chief Operating Officer George Pyne said.
And NASCAR licensed product sales shot up 250 percent between 1995 and 2004, surpassing the $2 billion mark last year.
But what is it exactly about the sport that breeds such a high level of consumer loyalty?
Even though top drivers fly around the country in private jets, live in mansions and make millions, they still manage to relate to the fans.
"They're competing. They're not just getting a salary ... they're working for a living," one fan said.
These athletes are almost always accessible. The fans are allowed, even encouraged to visit the drivers in the garage — NASCAR's equivalent of the locker room.
That is critical to NASCAR's corporate partners because the drivers are not just drivers — they are an integral part of each companies marketing effort.
Rick Hendrick runs one of the most successful teams in NASCAR. He also had an ownership position in an NBA team, and says an accessible driver makes the sport.
"You can't measure. It's one of the most valuable assets of our sport," he said.
NASCAR fans clearly have the money to spend. The median income is $60,000. Yes, more than the national average.

It's been explained on numerous boards that those daily short activity numbers can't be relied upon. If you look at the whole list, it would look like most stocks are heavily shorted each day. It has to do with MM's not settling trades and such.
That's not to say that there isn't massive shorting going on with any given stock, I just don't think those numbers are reliable.
You really can't trust those numbers at all. Just sayin...
I read his quote and I just smile.
We go on and on about the theatrical releases here on the hub, but we don't go on and on about the fact that TDGI is already a profitable growing business with DVD/BluRay and book distribution.
We're already sitting on a great company with a constantly expanding catalog of films to release, the theatrical releases are just icing on the cake.
Yep.
I live in Nashville and this is not a tiny little festival by any means.
It has quite a bit of coverage by local media and was the front page feature of the weekly entertainment mag "Nashville Scene" which is distributed to pretty much every restaurant in town.

The New Directors Competition Grand Jury also named Anthony Deptula, of "One Too Many Mornings," best actor, and Eileen Nicholas, of "Bomber," best actress.

"We look forward to his second and third films." The New Director Competition Jury was made up of Brian O'Halloran, actor; Lou Harry, A&E editor of the Indianapolis Business Journal; and Nathaniel Rogers of TheFilmExperience.net.

Those numbers have been proven to not be reliable...
That's not all to say that I don't think the theatrical releases matter... they do, and just one of them being a big success could make all of us alot... LOTS of money.
It doesn't really matter whether we get any more news or not. This stock is already undervalued and the company is already making money on the underlying DVD business and is expanding it at an amazing rate.
Everything else is just icing on this beautiful cake.
So this is an article from the future? hehe
Maybe he needs the cash?
Wouldnt make sense to me,either. That being said, the market cap is pretty amazing already and this guy knows he can only sit on his accidental gold mine for for so long.
Good point. IMO...
I dont want to sound like the guy yelling fire in a crowded theater, but the last week sure looks like dilution or new unrestricted shares.
Hopefully this can be cleared up with a call to the T/A.
Total noob question, but when is the uplisting slated for?
WOW. Don't know if this was posted here or not...
http://www.belfastfilmfestival.org/2010/programme/films/420
A hugely enjoyable film that beats most fiction cinema to its knees, Racing Dreams is the ‘Stand By Me’ of documentary films.
Oscar-nominated director Marshall Curry excels with a fast paced and raw film about early teen racers facing their last year of little league and a foreboding decision about their future careers, aching for NASCAR glory. Following Annabeth, Josh and Brandon as they compete for the World Karting Association’s national championship, Racing Dreams is also about their innate desire to race and a gloriously uplifting rites of passage story. They are all
tested by a last summer of first romances and troubled family backgrounds.
These races are fast, dangerous and brilliantly captured on film, the competition has you on the edge of your seat and their successes and failures are powerful to watch. Already destined for a fictional remake by Spielberg’s Dreamworks, Racing Dreams is destined to be the thrilling sleeper hit of the festival.
‘The best film of the year so far… an instant classic’ LA Times.
and someone on our team paints 2k shares at .043 hahaha
Hey hey big spender.
10k shares at .042 to paint?
Seriously?
hahaha.
Not worried, but these games are so stupid.
I doubt there even is a "they", just a pitiful "him".
What's funny about this is that he basically claims to be VNDM, saying that they're buying while they're selling.
My question is, why in the hell would somebody be bragging about bringing the stock down to play with when they own 1/3rd of the company? They're selling at the ask to buy lower??? If they really wanted to drop the ask and buy lower to cause a panic, they could have already done it... especially if they have that many shares to sell.
To me, that guy seems like an idiot that probably has never had more than 100k shares.
If they really had that many shares to sell that they want to buy back cheaper, why bash the stock in the first place?
