Lol! Terrible pump dude!

That's no joke!... I'm already feeling the regret...

They should probably update their web page....Seems to be behind the times on the PRs..

There is a huuuuuge market there in Myrtle B. Remember those mixed drink recipies I was trying to come up with?....yeaaah... Myrtle B. is a spring break party town, if the wally worlds are selling out now, that's going to bode well for next year's spring break parties. Myrtle B. is a ghost town during the winter months though...I have friends and family there, so I'm pretty familiar with that place. I just hope the projected sales forcast will take that into consideration.
My personal experiences have been that many of the locals there in Myrtle Beach, SC Greenville, SC & Hunsville, Alabama perfer to shop at "Food Rawr!" AKA- FoodLion stores (as well as other chains) and will avoid shopping at Wal-mart because of the tourists* and produce that is generally considered by many to be of "low quality". BBDA may want to consider marketing products in other distribution chains as well to establish a more stable and interdependant market base, I.e The local crowd would offset the decrease in tourist off-season sales. It's the locals who are going to carry you through the winter months. I don't know if the contract with Wal-mart is "exclusive" or not...

Note: *
Tourists tend to gravitate to Wal-mart due to familiarity. As a direct result, Locals who live in touristy towns tend to shop elsewhere and have a certain level of contempt for the crowded Wal-marts. Research studies still need to be conducted to confirm or deny my statements. But, sometimes the obvious is true.... :)
Observations: The fact this stock has come from ".000s" to just a few ticks away from making it to pennyland and there hasn't been a R/S ????? It's amazing to witness and be a part of. BBDA stock is the only sub-pennystock that I've ever seen trade like a "real" stock. It has real products, real contracts and real PRs of consequence. Excellent job BW ! You've really demonstrated your managerial prowess. You earned this.
Stock performace has been consistent. I bought in at .0004 and sold 6 Mil shares of this .0011 . Obviously, I made some money, but I actually should have just left it alone. We all have our regrets. The good news is that I didn't sell out all of my shares though.. ;) If you managed to hold your bulk quantity shares from those golden days, I seriously have to congratulate you. You are going to (if you havent already) make out extrememly well. I'm not selling my remaining shares... I'll end up buying back in when the circumstances permit. I would suggest hanging on to your shares, been a workhorse winner of a stock for me. I know there were people out there who would disagree with that, but I'm referring to the timing of when I got into the game until now. BBDA has always kept my portfolio performance values in the "green", even when everything else goes to crap...

I completely and wholeheartedly agree!... This is really Jazz's board <IMO>. He was pretty much the only presence there was when I arrived here...
-m
Ah! =) Thank you so very much for the quick response... I've been feeling that sinking "Uh-oh..." feeling every day since they made the change over...
-m
I have a problem that I could use an answer for.
I had LKEN shares on Etrade.... LKEN did the R/S and apparently became LKEND... Now the LKEN or LKEND symbol is not longer there. Now there is a code in the stock symbol window that reads something like "39448C106" with my original share count and the current share price is not being reflected. Has anyone run into this? Is this normal? If it is normal, how long does it usually take to straighten out? I've written this question out to E-trade's customer service, and am basically wondering if this is "Normal".

Lenny,
Some good sayings that I like live by...
"No balls, no blue chips".
The other one is "Man makes his own luck."
Lenny, you do whatcha gotta do.

Yes, but expect another round of this again on Monday next week... More flipping going on @ 4s will knock it back into 2s... Its frustrating, but it seems to be the norm everywhere you look these days...
<IMO>
-m
I'm not... I've already posted my predictions about this. It's just a normal churn... Buyers at 1 are flippin at 2s all day long... This will happen until people get tired of it and pps will eventually begin to climb, just like any other stock...Be lucky to run at all this week... if it does it will close at 3 or 4 ( IF.... we are lucky).
-m
As long as it's not an R/S, anything would be good...
<IMO>
-m
Great finish ! Next week it's sink or swim...
-m
Pull a 10 year trend. I'm using etrade... This stock was trading at an avg of @350.00- $400.00 a share between 2005-2006
It fell sub-penny Jul 1, 2008.
-m
BINGO! :)
-m
I'm dumping my ISIM position (going cheap! Go buy them!) I want more LKEN! I'm also stalking my grandmother's ceramic piggy bank that I've had since I was a child...with a hammer.... :)
-m
Yes, I'm beefing up my position. Waited for E-turd to fill my 1s order, but alas, nada. So that makes me feel a lot better buying into the 2s. In fact I may grab even more if this power hour is kind to me on my other positions.
-m
Same here...Just put an order in for another 2.4 Mil.
-m
I'm seeing "Free ink for life.." posted on this board's header page...So maybe it has something to do with that? I dunno just a guess..
-m
Copy that! :)
Your item #2 was already on my mind, but do you think the collective "We" be able to pull that off ???
-m
I hope you're right...but I think the MMs are going to start putting up huge walls...I think MMs are gobbling this up and will torture us with them later...
-m
look at the volume of sales... That 5 Bil won't be around long at this rate...
-m
Insane volume today though... 1/2 - 3/4 billion likely total today?
-m
That rule would be normally be accurate, but you're now dealing with a stock thats been sitting @ rock bottom already... Why would you sell on news?
-m
Next week will churn like crazy through the new flippers all week (regardless of news content)... Most likely close will be around @ .0004 by next Friday. During the following week, the usual Monday churn for about 1/2 a day with MM's attention and influences and then we should start to see a "real" run up during that week...I'd hazard a guess of @ .0015 close two weeks from today. I believe that's how this pattern will play out. <IMO> of course...

The Great Pyramid of Giza took 20 years to build...
A typical nuclear power plant takes 7 -12 years to build
The Hoover Dam took 5 years to build...
The Grand Coulee Dam took 8 years to build...
ROI = Return on Investment. Yes and thank You Pitstop for clarifying.
Baltia Airline? 20+ years and counting.
Am I being too sarcastic or condescending?
<IMO> No!
I'm sorry but this is just not an acceptable business model!
<IMO>
-m
What about ROI? What is your question or concern?
-m
I spelled capital wrong...You're right!
Sorry for that typo...
-m
And I'm glad I did... ;)
-m
It's like a bomb went off on this stock! Already way up on the breakout board... Wow!
-m
unh uhh! I think I'll keep my 1s for a while...
:)
-m
All I can say is "Wow!". I'll definately be listening in on that conf call on Saturday...
-m
Wow! When did LKEN wake up?? And why??

Buisiness 101: I am so happy that you asked! Here...The link below is a fine example of what an airline buisiness plan should look like.
Classroom activity:
Did you know?
1) It took me a whole five minutes to find that plan on the google?
2) It took a whole 30 seconds to notice on the 1st page that the expected ROI* would be 3 years...Not 20! :)
3) Every capitol project that I've ever worked on at every company I've ever worked for includes a ROI (Rate of Return) of no greater than 5 years!
Maybe Baltia should scrap whatever plan it's using and go with this free example...<IMO>

* Please Note: The term "ROI" will be on the final exam, so you should definately pay attention to this okay?
Class Dismissed! Have a great summer!
With kind regards,

There are tons of airline companies that have come and gone in the last 20 years... Baltia is the only company that makes excuses for not being in the air. From a former shareholder's perspective: This is just not an acceptable buisiness model.
<IMHO>

Yeah, we noticed yesterday that there were new PRs coming out but there were no "indicators" of "new" news... Today this board and etrade do have new news indicators, which is great for atracting new buyer, but unfortunately there is a MM that keeps dropping a quarter zillion shares on the block at .0001. So, we won't see a PPS movement until that MM's system has a hard drive crash or something...lol.
<IMO>
-m
Yes...I have to agree...Still very sad though. This would have been a good performer..

There is absolutely nothing wrong with exchanging trips for pennies! In fact you really don't to wait that long..:) Taking profits off the table is part of this game... You have options here. You can sell everything you've got and buy back in or move onto the next "big thing". Or... You can sell a percentage to cover your initial purchase investment. That way you can hold onto your trips for free and never worry about losing money on them... When BBDA hits pennyland, it's already on its way to $ (Dollar) land. If you holding a good # trips up to dollar land you'll be able to buy your next house with BBDA cash. Personally...and this is what I am doing...I've sold off shares to cover my initial stock purchase and made some grands and was also able to keep a good portion of the "cheapies" I had bought and I'm sitting on them. There is no justifyable reason to sell everything you've got now. Unless you need the cash or course... This company is going places. Take the ticket, enjoy the ride! :)
<IMHO>

lol! I should probably add this...
Disclaimer : I am not a stock professional...I hope a stock professional could add or deny what I've written here...I'm just telling you my gameplan...It could be right or wrong in someone else's eyes...
Someone actually brought up an interesting point on another board I frequent. The ability to be able to say "That I've made money on this stock...". Usually the MMs lock everything down to the point where it's extremely difficult to actually make any profit. Well I can say this for BBDA... I HAVE made money on this stock. It's actually been my best performer so far. So, I'm glad to be a part of this group where we stand a chance at making money here.
-m
Yeah...I really do wish the MMs would take a day off and stop diluting this for a day or two...Eventually, the MMs will run out of .00005s to sell off...eventually.
