I'm not a stock expert, but I've learned A LOT over the past year.
That being said, did anyone notice that ICPA closed up 26% on 3 million of volume? It was a relatively light day when you look at the 10-day average of approximately 4.5 million.
I cannot wait until we get some serious volume on this.
Like Steve said, "Stay Tuned..."
15 days? :)
That was an awesome day!!
353,600 @ .0026
773,100 @ .0029
640,800 @ .0031
Absolutely! Things are looking phenominal!
As Steve said on Tuesday:
"Behind the Mask" has everything to do with IC Places. See below. :)
Steve posted this on IC Places FB page today:
ICPA - The news below has not been released in a PR yet, and they just booked a pilot episode with FOX Network yesterday.

The quote below is from "Behind The Mask"s facebook page - as posted in the afternoon on 4/4/2012.
I was just waiting for them to show up yesterday! I was very surprised that they didn't.
haha! I thought it was "Static" at first too, but then I started to see everything posted on "Behind The Mask"'s FB page. All that I know for sure is that things are going to be very exciting!
I see what you're saying, but since all of this is being posted on "Behind The Mask"'s fb page, I would assume that it's the show that they booked.
Either way, I think good things are coming soon!!
Below is another quote from their FB page.

"Behind the Mask" has everything to do with IC Places.
I'm completely speechless. I'm so excited that I'm at a loss for words. All I can say is that I'm glad that I have been loading up on these cheap shares!!
Wow.
Thanks for confirming that for me!!
That would be awesome! Where did you find that out??
haha! I was going to ask the same thing about 'lovethatgreen.'
I'm also waiting to hear from 'Crim the Stalker/Creeper.'
This is going to be fun.
I agree 100%. Good things are worth waiting for.
No worries! He has most likely been extremely busy with everything that he is working on right now. Send him an email reminder, and I'm sure he'll get back to you on that.
This is an incredible opportunity, and I'm loving this dip. So many cheap shares available right now, and I honestly feel sorry for the people who are selling at a time like this. That is my opinion, of course, but ICPA has a lot of upside potential - especially with everything that is in the works.
Patience will pay off in a big way, in my opinion - especially if you are able to take advantage of the current share price.
I posted the actual definition of 'soon' perviously, and we determined that 'soon' is a relative term. However, ICPA has been averaging 1 PR per month since December, and there are only 7 business days left in March (including today), so I would expect 'soon' in this case to mean this week, or next week.
That being said, I would expect something 'soon.'
Picked up some more cheap shares today! Someone just mentioned that ICPA has been doing one PR per month since December, so I would guess that we have one coming either this week, or next week. We only have 8 more business days this month, so - in my opinion - it's time to load up before the next PR.
Time for a repost? :)

Of course the stalker is still here, and not surprisingly still doing what he does best.
exactly!! For impatient people, 'soon' means 'NOW.' For others, 'soon' could be tomorrow, later this week, next week, etc.
For ICPA, 'soon' could happen anytime. Personally, I know big things will happen here, and I wouldn't want to be the person who are sold this stock at these prices.
'What if' you sold today, and the news came out tomorrow? I'm not saying that a PR will come out tomorrow, but what if it does? It definitely would not be fun being in that position.
I don't need a magic 8-ball for ICPA. We all know where this is heading (with the exception of a certain someone - I won't mention any names, but it happens to be the same person who asked someone to give him the definition of the word 'soon').
I strongly believe that patience will pay off in a very big way with this stock. Unlike some people, I am extremely patient, and I know big things will happen 'soon.' I already gave the definition of the word 'soon,' so please, if you ask me what the definition of 'soon' is, refer to my previous post. :)
I know what he meant, but he sounded extremely desperate for the definition of the word 'soon.'
I believe that he is looking for someone to give a specific date, and time of day, as to when a deal will be closed, and a PR will be released. However, since I am unable see into the future, I figured that I would just give the actual definition of the word.
Definition of SOON:
1)at once : immediately : without undue time lapse : before long
2)in a prompt manner : speedily "as soon as possible" "the sooner the better" "no sooner said than done"
3)before the usual time
I hope this helps you out. If you have any more questions about word definitions, please visit www.merriam-webster.com
I'm glad that I added more cheap shares today.
so let's push it to 0.01+! I'm all for that!
My shares are locked up.
If you have that many shares, then why would you want to sell them? You stand to make a boat load of money when ICPA closes any of the deals that they are currently working on.
You're willing to give that up? I don't see the logic.
Let's weigh this out. You could make a lot of money by holding your shares for higher prices --- or you can sell them at these extremely low prices, and make very little, or actually lose money (depending on when you bought them).
You can't see the potential with ICPA? I strongly believe that this company has major potential, and I'll be adding to my shares tomorrow for sure.
I really hope you sell your shares tomorrow. I'll gladly add them to my pile. Tomorrow is Friday, which happens to be payday, so I'll have plenty of cash to pick up what you put down.
or possibly all three!! either way, I'm in no hurry.

Product Placement and Strategic Partnership Strategy
IC Places will work with companies under three primary product placement strategies.
1. Implicit product placement strategy:
The brand, logo, the firm, or the product is presented passively with only clear visibility within it's program without being expressed formally. This product placement is more contextual or part of the background with no clear demonstration of product benefits, for example, wearing clothes with the sponsor's name or a scene in front of the a specific movie chain theater. Another example is a new TV show IC Places is producing called "The Home Entertainment Review." The show will be filmed in a man cave filled with cutting edge home entertainment technology, which will be supplied by the manufacturers.
2. Integrated explicit product placement strategy:
In this strategy, the brand, logo, the firm, or the product plays an active role in the scene and is expressed formally within the program or plot. As a humorous example, during the "Instant Movie Review" show a pizza delivery man shows up and delivers a piping hot pizza from a major brand and the hosts begin to eat it while delivering their review.
3. Non-integrated explicit product placement strategy:
In this strategy, the brand, logo, the firm, or the product is formally expressed but not integrated into the content of the program, for example, in the TV show "IC Places Hollywood" segments of the show may be sponsored by a car company or electronics company. This type of reference normally is included in the sponsorship deal.
Understanding The Value of Product Placement to the Advertiser
Product placement is a form of advertisement, where branded goods or services are placed in a context usually devoid of ads, such as movies, music videos, the story line of television shows, or news programs. Nielsen Media Research has shown that product placement in television shows can raise brand awareness by 20%.
According to a recent report by "Journal of Management and Marketing Research," product placement is a fast growing multi-billion dollar industry.
According to the research company PQ Media, global paid product placements were valued at $3.07 Billion back in 2006. By 2010, the overall value of paid and unpaid product placement increased annually to $13.96 Billion.
The U.S. is the largest and fastest growing paid product placement market. In 2011 Branded content comprised 32% of overall marketing, advertising, and communications budgets. This number is expected to increase due to the fact that 41% of U.S. homes are expected to have and use digital video recorders that can skip through commercials. Hence, communicating core marketing messages is difficult but vital.
Consider the following data :
90% of people with digital video recorders skip TV ads.
To be seen, brands now have to get inside the content.
Consumer consumption of entertainment increases when economic times get tough.
Research shows product placement in content boosts brand awareness, raises brand affinity and encourages prospective purchasers.
60% of viewers felt more positive about brands they recognized in a placement.
45% said they would be more likely to make a purchase.
Product placement can be a cost-effective method for reaching target customers. Because of this, product placement is likely to eclipse traditional advertising messages.

From the looks of these pictures being posted, it appears that Steve is an excellent people person, which is awesome because people (including executives of these large companies) gravitate toward that. People enjoy to do business with friends, and I think Steve is gaining a lot of valuable connections that may lead to even bigger, and better deals down the road as well.
Don't be concerned if Steve is having a good time while he is working. If Steve is having fun, then so are the people he is meeting with. He is very enthusiastic, and passionate about what he is doing. He is making difficult tasks look easy, which is what a true professional does. :)
I never said anything about selling, and I have only added to my stockpile. All my shares are locked away, but I'll try to tone my exitement down a bit.
I hope everyone is strapped in!! This rocket is about to launch!!
