Here's the link to today's Conference Call:

It's been disclosed on multiple occasions in the past and nearly everyone here knows that I am VP of Marketing & Investor Relations.
I just wanted to make a brief appearance here and let everyone know that John and the entire management team are working around the clock to bring these deals to completion.
John has been going from meeting-to-meeting, call-to-call and email-to-email all week long and we will release news AS SOON AS WE POSSIBLY CAN. We would rather approach the acquisition issue conservatively and mitigate any risk factors.
As we have mentioned on multiple occasions in the past, we do not want to jump the gun on any announcements until everything is signed ... all of the i's dotted and t's crossed. That mistake was made in the past and we definitely don't want to re-visit it and see the PPS plunge (I'm sure none of you want that either).
Special thanks to all of you "longs" who have been standing by us through all the turmoil. We are confident that your loyalty will be rewarded!

Absolutely! I think in the past that has been forgotten by so many people on here. We (the Company) want to succeed as badly (if not more!) as our shareholders want us to.
We are definitely aware of some of the negative things that go on in "Pennyland" that get shareholders upset and want to make sure that we remain as transparent as we possibly can with our shareholders and investors in order to maintain positive and productive relationships. Thanks!
The CC was recorded and I am trying to get the file to post in the IR section of the web site. If I can get it and post it, I'll let everyone know.
Thanks! Considering that John is not feeling well today, I think he did a great job on the call and answered a lot of questions and addressed some important concerns.
I just suggested that very thing to John a minute ago. It would definitely be beneficial to those who missed the call. As you can probably imagine, he is swamped with phone calls and emails due to the conference call. Stay tuned!
As John just mentioned in the Conference Call, we have made significant progress with launch of our Social Media campaigns in May and June. If you haven't liked our Facebook Fan Page (American Community Development Group, Inc.) or following us on Twitter, I highly encourage you to do so. Meanwhile, here are our social media results for May and the first couple weeks in June.
Social Media Highlights (May & June (partial) 2012)
Facebook May Advertising Stats:
• Ad campaigns created 10
Comment: Since the campaigns didn’t begin until the second week in May, this translates to over three campaigns per week which is above average. The norm is usually two per week.
• Number of targeted users who saw the ads 19,300 (per ad).
This translates to nearly 200,000 targeted Facebook users who are specifically interested in philanthropy and non-profits.
• Average ad viewed 7.1 times
Means that people are seeing the ads multiple times and are therefore visiting the Fan Page as well as the web site.
• Clicks on ads 78 with 107 actions taken
78% on click-thrus is extremely high. Shows increased visibility for the Fan Page and in turn, the web site.
• “Likes” created 69, 81% of new “likes” tracked to ad’s
Again, this shows that the ads are converting at a very high rate and as a result, the Fan Page is achieving new followers.
Twitter May Stats
• Tweets delivered 640
• Followers 373
Anytime you convert on over 50% of your Tweets (in this case almost 60%), the campaign is VERY effective and is driving traffic to the Facebook Fan Page as well as the Web site.
Since June conversion numbers won’t be determined until after the end of the month, here are the RAW Likes & Followers update numbers as of 6/15.
Facebook Fan Page “Likes” & Followers (as of 6/15/2012) – 155 (May 1st, we only had 37)
Twitter – Total Followers (as of 6/15/2012) – 554 (181 since June 1st) (Started from scratch end of the first week in May!)
Special Note: Our Social Media vendor, Tactical Marketing Team (Orlando) has deep experience developing effective, successful social media campaigns in the non-profit sector. It was their primary focus when they first opened their doors and continues to be an integral part of their business plan and growth strategy.
I know some of you have been posting reminders about our CC at 4:30 this afternoon and we sincerely thank you for that.
If you have questions for John, please email them to him in advance at jfolger@acdginc.com. This should make for a much more efficient call and hopefully answer everyone's questions.
If you have a question that isn't addressed because of time constraints, please email it to John and he will personally answer it for you. We are trying to be as transparent as we can possibly be with all of you and we are always accessible via email and phone.
We expect all 1,000 slots to be filled for the call, so make sure you get on the lines early.
For those of you who don't have the link to the press release that has the CC access info, here it is once again.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DIDN'T SEE THE PRESS RELEASE OR THE EARLIER POSTS, HERE IS A REMINDER AND THE LINK TO INFO FOR MONDAY AFTERNOON'S CONFERENCE CALL.
http://ih.advfn.com/p.php?pid=nmona&article=52743099&symbol=ACYD
Special thanks to one of our shareholders who supplied us with the report. We appreciate your interest and contributions to the growth of our company!
In keeping with our PROMISE to keep everyone informed, you may want to take a look at the findings of this report that we just received and see how the results coincide with our press releases. Pay particular attention to May 23rd.

Believe me, the Company knows and completely understands this. Just know that we've got a lot of "irons in the fire" and are working tirelessly to conclude discussions and negotiations on a lot of different fronts. Like all of you, we wish we could just throw a switch and everything would fall into place immediately. The reality is, it doesn't happen that way most of the time. That being said, who knows what could happen in the next hours, days or even weeks? Let's all continue to hope (and work toward) for one of those days where everything falls into place perfectly. It can happen!
Thanks ettan! You are the epitome of the ideal investor ... a big picture individual who understands vision, mission and how a business plan is executed to everyone's benefit.
BINGO!!! And if anyone's been observing closely (and we have!), you can pretty much figure out which MM's are probably doing this.
All I can tell you is that it's not us. Best bet is to take a look at who has historically and consistently done this over the past several months.
Per Don Quixote's Post 10393: "The Company is also confirming that the recent significant financing announced is not a convertible debenture or other type of spiral. It is a straight discounted stock purchase agreement with a large private investment fund; however, the Company has not recently exercised any stock sales. The Company intends to use its capital access to close contemplated transactions."
You are absolutely correct. And we release our news EXACTLY when it's ready for the public. It's not okay to release ANY information when negotiations are still being conducted and formal agreements and contracts have not been signed. Until that happens, it is still considered to be speculative and not ready for public viewing.
Per SEC regs, I can't estimate or project any acquisitions or give anyone any kind of timelines since that could be considered inside information and unethical.
What I can tell you is that when ANY company goes through a reorganization, nearly all negotiations and transactions must cease and be re-tooled in order to comply with the new company strategy/structure. I've had considerable experience with this when working with a large company that acquired and integrated 7 companies in a 9 year period.
For some reason, people think that acquisitions are like buying something with cash ... quick, clean and easy. Nothing could be further from the truth. Lawyers, extended negotiations, contracts and other agreements come into play as well as dealing local organizations and governmental procedures. I could go on and on but I think you get the picture.
C'mon guys. Calm down. It's Tuesday after a long, three day weekend. We have always been (and continue to be) totally open and honest with all of you but I continue to see groundless speculation and even undeserved accusations.
If any of you have ever been in business, you should know that every transaction or acquisition MUST go through procedures and documentation. For instance in the construction industry, you need to have the necessary permitting in order to even put the first shovel in the ground and sometimes those things can take a VERY long to time to do. Considering all that we have been taking on over the past several months, a lot of progress has been made (and we have shared a lot of this with you!).
In the past several months, we've gone through a re-organization, re-vamped our team, added to our BOD as well as some other things that affect daily operations ... all of which changes the way we do business and all of which will benefit the company (and your investments) in a positive manner over the long haul. Because of the re-org, potential acquisitions had to be put on hold and new strategies considered. On the positive side, the Company took the initiative to begin to look for new opportunities as a Holding Company, made needed changes to our daily operations, launched an effective Social Media campaign (thanks to those of you who noticed!), brought on new management personnel and added to our board...all of which are very positive things.
By special request, a return visit to John's interview on STT.

PER JOHN FOLGER ...
As many of you are aware, the stock trading of ACYD has not made any sense for quite a while. It seems to act in a contrary fashion to any other issue and has been kept locked in a tight trading range with downward pressure whenever possible. In fact, months ago, when we were attempting to get the assistance of competent investor relations groups, I think you kept hearing the phrase “same old stock”, because even they could not break out of the cycle. You would think that multiple days of 5 million shares or more, and especially those 7 and 12 million share days would lock up most of the float. Even so, the stock continues on a downward cycle. Now we come to find out that ACYD was a chosen pick of a newsletter as of April 1 of this year, and that the same newsletter kept publishing support notices all along, until last week. At which time they published a specific “sell order”, which has caused a continual sell off and corresponding walk down of the stock. We knew nothing about this newsletter until after the fact when it was finally mentioned. We wish we knew earlier.
All through this process, new posters have shown up with different attitudes about the stock, or the management, some long, but most seeming to be short.
Now we are being asked to disclose specific real estate transactions, just because they are easy to do. That would of course be correct, except for 2 things; the first is that the continued downward pressure on the stock is designed to create the largest amount of dilution possible of we were to consummate a larger financing and the second is that we disclosed already that we were focused on the holding company aspect, which would allow us to show different, and presumably larger, types of acquisitions or mergers/relationships. It would make much more sense to show specific real estate projects “the simple ones”, as part of this optimum structure.
Let me ask those astute traders on the board why would someone keep knocking the stock back and not letting it trade normally? Who would have anything to gain if it can’t help the company, the management or it’s investors? Why are we always asked for news, when every time news is released, we get hit even harder?
This stock is being driven into the basement no matter how many longs hold the overwhelming portion of shares. Some of you do this professionally, and as we pull down the DTC reports over the last few months covering our trading from .007 to .002, we are all curious to see what we find.
