At my age I like surprises less and change even more so ...
Looking forward to this board being my "constant" in 2012 ... the same old friendly chatter and banter .... I can always count on "checking in" ... and maybe some day, SOME DAY ... there'll actually be real content to discuss ...
until then - Happy New Year and GO WHIFFY!!!!!!!
(I'm still at $1/share) ........
jimbo
I love you guys! Keep on posting!!! Personally I'm in DDIC which got me excited until I bought more at the "high" ... ugh!
The idea that not too long ago we "bought into the idea" of "barbaric instruments to help locate and make basic calling" as a great invention is embarrassing! I'd still like to see the schukster (can't remember his name) who on a conference after an announcement said "we are on the runway ready to launch in 26 countries any day now" .... what was the "head guys name?" last I heard he was trying to sell an investment product in Hawaii????
maybe all of this info is on old posts ....
most importantly - Happy Holidays!!!!! Glad we're all above ground
Jimbo aka Lindoman
Lindo-ignorance here ....
So - if one actually buys a gazillion shares for $XXX - where/who is getting the $XXX???????
to the tune of "leavin' on a jet plane"
All my shares are packed hidden in my drawer
Although I've got a lot Bilachos says get more ...
I'm not sure what to do ... I just can't make up my mind ...
Every day I look at investor hub
For magic advice like "rub a dub dub"
Although I feel alone .. with you I'm with a like-kind ....
So - wish me and all your friends
Good luck and big bucks when this comes to an end.
I'm holding whiffy like I've never held anything before ....
'Cause I'm wishing for a big payday
then we'll get the last laugh and they'll say
Oh whiffy - you never really did go ....
you reappeared in this show ....
to the tune of "I've been working on the railroad"
I've been holding all my wheerify
Many and many a day!
I've been holding my wherify
Just waitin' for a pay day ....
I can't see the tunnel before me
The end and the light are a blur
But I'll keep waitin' at the staaaation
As long as the whistle can be heard!
Wherify don't you go,Wherify don't you go
Wherify don't you go no-where!
Wherify don't you go,Wherify don't you go
For the three of us will be waiting right here!
Bilacho's got info 'bout 'vestors
Bilacho's got info he saaaays
Bilacho's got info 'bout investooooors
All these years and days.
AAAAAAAAAAAAA-------men!
I'm still on second base
my friend bought 100,000 shares about a month ago at .0005 or so
lindo
bilachos- remember bilsbro - ?? think he's holding out? and we've been over this a million times - but why is this stock even listed????? so - yes - your theory is hopeful .... a friend of mine BOUGHT 100,000 shares a few weeks ago .... we couldn't believe it actually executed .....
lindo
trust me - I'm well aware of "what's going on in mexico" ... we spent 7 days in Guadalajara in March and saw/experienced NO intimidation of ANY sort from anybody - in MY town (Stockton CA) baggie pants; gang colors; attitude are much more intimidating.
AND - yes - even on the outskirts of GDL there was a mass shooting (23 dead) in a nightclub at 4 AM
Juarez digs app 70 "graves" a week and fills them ...
All's well - I'll send you a 'it's me' to belachos@hotmail and we'll see if you get it
paz
AND - to continue the circle - my son made to to Santa MOnica from Guadalajara in his piece of crap '98 Corolla; and will return home to mom and dad tonight (after 55 weeks)! HIs mexicana fiance will arrive Oakland airport midnight thursday - her first time out of Guadalaura! (except for their trip to Juarez for the visa ... google Juarez Mx if you want to read about death) .... and this coming weekend we will be planning a wedding in October! wow!
I thought that I was being too social for this highly involved financial board and you sent me to your hotmail acct - I promptly sent you a message at hotmail and you never replied ...
Just knowing that I've been missed has helped me with my sense of rejection which has led to a deep depression ...
But , now .. I'm baaack baby!!!!
I keep wondering if I should "load up" with a gazillion shares for fifty-bucks - .... a dime would be damned attractive!
Nice to know I'm a wanted man - Lindo
AND - did I mention as a "co-sponsor" of this Mexicana I'm sending 3 years tax returns; letter from employer re salary and standing; verification of bank accounts/amounts/average daily balances etc; possibly 401/403 info; home appraisal and mortgage/ and maybe even "pension and social security" (I'm 61 and probably retiring at 66, although I really like doing this thing called "work") .... AND the "fiance immigration interview" is in Juarez just south of El Paso, the most dangerous area in all of Mexico! this is OUR govt etc... ugh! And yes, the two of them wil live in our house for a week or a month or two; it'll be great for a day and a half 'til we're arguing about "noise/mess/etc" .. (just kidding); she's never been more than a 3 hour drive from Guadalajara; she's a Masters Degree (100% on her boards) research chemist; phlebotomist; has worked in a few labs etc; speaks no english; beautiful (can we post pics here??) and takes home the equivalent of $2.25/hr. My bi-lingual son teaches english and makes $8/hr! (he was offered a job by the mexican govt to start their "environemntal assessment programs" (i.e. water and soil testing; recommendations; etc .. he is a geology/biology guy, CalTech Pasadena ((proud dad)); AND he'd make a GREAT salary in Mexico (about $30K American per year) ... so he's thinking down the road of MAYBE heading back in that direction and becoming the pioneer in the field in mexico .. he's WELL prepared re his past work experience ...
whew! this "anonymous" email is great! thanks for pretendinginterest in my mundane life! And you?????
re: leg/injury; started antibiotics 5 days ago; ugh! painful etc; and bearable (remember, I work in cancer services, so when it comes to minor health issues ....)
this last weekend busy - highlight was worldfest.net in Grass Valley ...
update: younger son and his soon to be betrothed found an apartment in Santa Monica (reduces his commute by an hour); Oldest engaged son in guadalajara heard from the Consular and she will have her "fiance immigration interview" first week or two of August - he's coming home! we're thrilled.

GOLD
My friend put a ton in gold at $900; at $1,100 he told me to get in; at $1,300 he told me to get in; now almost $1,600 and I'm not in ...
So, while playing hide and seek in a fountain with stepping stones with my yorkie poo at Levi Plaza just off Embarcadero in SF, I proceeded to fall (yes, I was running on water and rocks in Crocs) and severely injured my shin (scraped almost down to bone); while partially in shock and feeling absolutely no pain, my wife finally found me with my leg in a fountain of dirty cold water; she ran to the levi bldg and asked for a first aid kit; the security guard pulled out a flair and a pair of plyers; finally she found guaze and a bandage; a bag of ice from a restaurant; and Italian tourists with "antiseptic wipes" ....
That ended our bike-ride down to Fisherman's wharf; so we sucked it up; put the bikes on the back of the Civic; and had pizza and salad outdoors in the heart of North Beach (not a bad way to suffer); it's been 11 days, 80% healed, (lots of cleansing/antibiotic ointment) continuing to monitor for infection - no true medical intervention unless you want to consider my good friend Rich, MD ( the gold guy mentioned above) who ran an ER for 25 years; but being the atheistic jewish doctor that he is his consistent mantra is "we're all going to die and there really nothing medicine can do" -
And hope all is well with you two, too! Lindoman!
my real and only dilema re wfyw is whether to try to purchase another 100,000 shares for a few hundred dollars .....
IF I truly 'believed' that there was a 50% chance of this thing hitting 5 cents I'd be nuts NOT to do it .... advice????
Replying to post on 6/12 "expect to hear more this week" ...
I've heard quite a bit, like "Day by Day"; "Autumn Leaves", "This Train Ain't Goin' Nowhere" and a few other obscure tunes ...
My money is in DDIC (got in at $4.30) and $7.50; sold a bunch at $11.50 and then got excited and bought a bunch at $11.75 (mistake); my good friend who has much more $$ than I bought a "ton" of gold at $900; and is considering putting his entire retirement pension into gold (he's a physician; palliative care; i.e. meets with patients and families that are in the throes of making difficult/complicated choices; burdens and benefits of medicine and all that crap) .. he's a practicing buddhist/meditator/mindfulness instructor and doesn't make much money - but has significant $$ in his pension fund as he ran the ER here for 25 years .... He and I discuss Greece and global implications - and US debt/pensions/social programs/costs of housing a prisoner versus schools going broke etc ... I love the guy and our rich conversations; but they lead me to alcohol as soon as I get home!!!! Happy 4th to you all; in my hospital for the first time we exempt employees are REQUIRED to take Friday off (we can code vacation etc) ; but this is very unusual ... times are tough in health care; especially in areas like central califoria where the payor-mix is horrible - straight medi-cal (we lose money on every patient); unisured that come through the ER; "illegals"; huuuge medi-care population and MANY families demanding "do every; Miracles happen; Jesus will wake him up" etc; while the humane thing to do is move to "comfort care" and "allow god to bring him home rather than standing in the way of the Lord's will" (religion is a huuuge topic and obstruction to good patient care) .... whew! that was fun
Happy 4th and Independence Day - independence, hmmm, funny concept in our country, as I assume you are aware of the 96 year old grandma that had her diaper searched by the TSA at an airport?? ok - back to breathing and gratitude - Life IS good!
paz - jimbo from stockton california (riding bikes saturday from the Ferry Building to GG Bridge (easy, flat, great sights, good food, dog in basket, wife happy as hell.... ) ....
"cool dude" lindo is back; not sure I'm deserving of such an effusive moniker; I suppose for each of us we "can't see the forest" etc .. we're all simply doing the best we can with what we've got; and it defines our lives; occasionally I DO think about "my life as a movie" - i.e. if I were being followed by some helicopter filming my whereabout and antics... so we just got back from an activity filled 4 days in LA (about a 6 hour drive); Thursday took care of itself; Friday (son from Guadalajara flew in Thursday night); the 4 lindos and Hilary went to the proposed "wedding venue" site (about 6 miles in from malibu beach); very nice; I/we generously offered to pay the full 5-hour open bar tab (take some heat off the in-laws who live an outwardly wealthy life, but can't afford their own daughters wedding); then off to malibu and the 'crab shack' for lunch overlooking the ocean; friday night to the in-laws (jewish/smart/fabulous food; limited alcohol) and THEIR parents (87 y/o)- so of course we brought a "made up newly wed game" and "hosted and kept score" (the structure was appreciated by all and funny as hell); followed by the famous "lindo sing along" in which grandpa soloed on aint she sweet and let me call you sweetheart; the family was in tears.... saturday evening the "young'uns engagement party" - again, had a GREAT time; met/interrogated/interviewed each of the 40 "kids" there ... they loved it! - and MOnday today; an additional day off to mow the lawn; hit the gym; ride my bike to various markets looking for bargains (yes. I'm an old guy with a bungeecorded box to the back of my bike and a removeable wire basket on the front for my 10 pound yorkie/poo - Shamus - the love of my life! Great catching up..
some day I'll write a song about the three of US and post it! Lindo - just a man; wiht a boy inside ....
didn't understand the "$1 two-forty-nine" reference
I don't have enough shares to retire at 50 cents; you are definitely ticklin' my fancy and tempting my adolescent risk taking side ....
OK - at .0005; jeez, let's round it up .001 = ten shares for a penny? 100 for a dime; 1,000 for a dollar; 100,000 for $100 dollars.... help me out here .. is this correct?
And are there any "shares out there?" If you recall my posts from the good old days, and now, I find this all very confusing...
My strength is STRETCHING the dollar; not making the dollar....
are my numbers correct above? thanks
Dear Trusted Bilachos
I will with great interest be checking this board ... have YOU purchased shares since the .oo5 availability????
I don't understand how/why there is even a still a listing for wfyw ... maybe, just maybe .... ever read Harlen Coben? lots of mystery in his books; good humorl and "unsuspecting" twists and turns .... you've peaked my interest .............
fyi - I'll be off the board end of the week - to Sherman Oaks (LA) for "engagement parties' ((the friday evening "party" to meet her family etc will be rather formal; thankfully they liked the idea of a singalong to draw in the 80+ y/o grandparents; a few tequila shots, me on piano, one son on guitar, the other with his 5 harmonicas, and my wife's voice - and my specialty is
"Five Food Two", Let ME CAll you Sweeheart" "Tea for Two" Shine On Harvest Moon, etc ... we'll get through the "Calabasas High End Keep the Talk surface shallow and pleasant" evening ...
paz friend(s)
why no action on this board? DDIC has been a very interesting ride for the last 2 years
Belachos, the history of this board reflects your connection to and hope for resurgence; jeez I'd like to know that you really are legit - after all - would it not then make sense to invest in $100 of WFWY for a gazillion shares, and sell at a dime????
let me know - you DO have me curious ....... Lindo aka "the man"
More full disclosure
I did purchase ddic at $4.20 and sold at 11.75 - and bought back in around $11; now mid 8s ... I love this 'anonymous' board!
Back to investing ....
Two of my good friends for years have been hollering "Ron Paul's the Man!" - one put just about everything he had in gold at $600; the other "tested the waters" at $900 and purchased $50K of Golden Eagle Coins (he loves to hold them in his hands .. it brings out the greed in him) ... obviously they have both done well; while I've LITERALLY got $50K sitting IN A BANK ACCOUNT do to my fear of pulling any trigger in any direction any more!!!!
On a personal note; my first life was that of a Registered Music Therapist (conservatory trained with a psych degree).. created a position in the med center I'm employed in now; so yes I've had a colorful life from song writing and lyric interpretation with psych patients; using music to stimulate post open heart patients; music and meditation in the ICU; music therapy students bringin comfort and fun into pediatrics with electric pianos and rhythm instruments etc; to being peter-principled to "director of psyche services" ("after all, he's so good at what he does, let's promote him to a Director, supervising 24 RNs, etc") .. well, the contract nurses went to their union; I was a duck out of water and failed miserably; and fortunately got back on track when the "high tech low touch" cancer center opened 20+ years ago; ..
Not sure about the "cool dude" comment - it's always interesting to know/sense how other's see us, vs our inner voices and how we see ourselves - I'm FILLED with "shoulds" and regrets; and work constantly at being mindful to appreciate and live in this moment; when my mind gets me off track "why haven't you taken your irish wife to Ireland you dumb ass" etc .. it's easy for me to beat myself up; others see me as confident/fun whle I tend to put others on a pedestal ... whew... are you guys going to send me a bill for reading this blather?????
Back to wfyw .. I do have an iPhone ... and struggle with the gps aspect of it!!!! tells you my technabilities
My family might be a bit more "colorful" but yours apparently has more green$ ... I've never made much money; resource/social worker type now in a cancer center; LOTS of people/patient contact; I bring in NUMEROUS speakers on complimentary/alternative wellness; we have weekly Yoga; weekly meditation groups; monthly support activities; etcetcetc
They've nicknamed me "the johnny carson of classes" as I host numerous programs and always do an "unscripted monologue" welcoming people, chatting a bit, etc .... lots of laughter and by the end of the evening of ALL of my classes etc, there is a sense of "belonging/community" - my "intentioanl self deprecating humor" is related to ... i.e. "how many came to last weeks class?" hands go up (average 140 people in some of the series') and of course I say "folks, there are your slow learners. If you'd actually integrate the crap we're teaching into your lives you wouldn't need to keep coming back to these classes!"
our hospital is under tremendous financial pressures, and my "non regulated position" is "safe and secure" as I've created a presence within our community .. I've been "blessed"/lucky etc
stjosephscares.org/cancer - all comes through me
My youngest lives in Sherman Oaks (LA area) and is engaged to his live-in JAP who was raised in Calabasas. My son's passion is working with adolescent/young adults with disabilities; he'll never be able to satisfy her "kardashian-like" life style..
My oldest (27) lives in Guadalajara and engaged to a Mexicana. He graduated CalTech Pasadena at age 21 (genius type; GREAT broadly talented - musician/cook/ etc).. and travels "lightly" ... a backpack and friendly face has seen him through his wordly travels. They are in the fiance visa process now so they can relocate in Berkeley Ca area where he will resume his work as a geo/biologist .... She's a Master's Degree research chemist in Guadaljara, works six 7-hour days for $2/hr.....
My wife from Detroit (came here as a student at age 24, I was one of her mentors, ((yes, she got an "A")) - was dx breast cancer 8 years ago and is doing GREAT
check out this link ... you'll see my wife singing about 20 seconds in http://www.recordnet.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20081108/A_MEDIA03/311089999&cid=sitesearch
back to work - go whiffy!!!!!!
not sure of your intent; but no, I reside in beautiful and bountiful Stockton California; the HEART of foreclosures, unemployment, states worst test scores re education; high crime; the city is considering filing for bankruptcy; etc....
YET - MY life (knock on wood) is GREAT - and if I didn't read the paper or listen to the news I'd think I live in a great community.
Additionally; we are 90 minutes from San Francisco; a little over two hours to Tahoe or Yosemite; less than two hours to Monterey; and 3 hours to north California Coast ... a great location to get out of!
I will continue to patiently wait; tx
I'm not laughing; simply in shock to think there is any "hope" ...
I've got mini-pesos invested compared to you guys; I"m a poor conservative guy with a joyfilled life ... honestly, here goes, I've only got about 14,000 shares right now; at about $1 averaging...
when you mention "the company" - is there a business? What is the business??? and yes I'm in agreement/aware of "niche markets" for gps etc ... but is there even a wherify office???
this is great to be back; anonymous truths .... love it
belachos
post 531 almost a year ago you were hoping for something to happen pretty soon; Hopefully something happens prior to October 21, the end again of the world
Bilsbro - now there's a name and source for actual factual information.
And - I must say - "you've got to be kidding me!!" - so IF there was an "acquisition" of some type; are you fantasizing this baby may pop 100 fold to a couple of pennies? Am I missing something here???
Should I invest $20 in ... hmnmmm not sure how many shares that would get me; I never passed calculous....
seriously - what are you thinking/smoking//knowing????
and it's good to be back!!!!
Hey!!! Now I'm feeling ignored!!! Let me know when you have some "hot tips" for investing .... I certainly can't trust the fund managers and Fidelity Reps - so I might as well listen to you .... lindo
Hi Guys,
After reading the few posts since I "checked in and out" I must say, I miss you guys too! Whatever happened to the "CEO guy" (don't remember his name) who bolted out of town; I think went to Hawaii; was trying to start up some investment group????
Did you guys ever attend a stock holders meeting at wfyw in "the olden days?" - I'll never forget showing up; 8 people in a room; not enough day old doughnuts for us; rather pathetic; and being told "we're ready to launch in 26 countries any day now" .... then "selling us" shares on the spot at 25cents (wfyw was 40 cents at the time); and the three of us reached into our wallets and re-upped thinking we were getting a real deal ... those guys were slick ...
re my comment "I've got a real life" - no I don't.
I'll mark this site in my 'favorites' so I can find you on a regular basis -
Lindo from Stockton CA; according to Forbes, the country's most miserable city!!!!
Unfortunately, unlike you guys, I actually have a real life! so wfyw is not foremost on my radar screen. AND I'm anxious to read/hear what could actually be happening ...
It seems to me that whatever "gps technology" they had is now availalble for $10 in a disposable phone.
the ship that should have sailed was SELLING their technology; not selling f'ing phones!
HOw's this for repeating themes of years gone by; too bad Frank Sinatra isn't around to sing the chorus ....
Hi guys! Lindoman here.... so let's make this a three-some...
do you REALLY believe that there is 'hope' ???? I haven't read the threads on IHub but will take a peek; HOW though can you possibly believe there is a future here???? MY share price is about $1!!!!!! I sold 7,000 in December to simply offset gains elsewhere .... a little "welcome back Lindo" would be appreciated.
thanks for the invite kids....
my wife is in detroit for a week visiting her 92 y/o dad.... except for my lovely yorki-poo Shamus, I was feeling kind of lonely ....
I'm back again, baby!
