Thanks Vc and Pony!
For what it's worth, I texted with Stephen Saunders yesterday. He assured me Management is working hard behind the scenes and they are very close to giving an update. Stated that longs will be rewarded.
I am remaining positive that we get some good news soon. GLTA
Thanks Pony, your confidence means a lot.
It sucks being at this price. Do I wish things have been done differently...absolutely, but some things are out of our hands. Most of us have written this off as a loss. However, I remain hopeful based on my conversations with Chas. I think there is stuff going on in the background, and this thing could turn around in an instant with release of news, which i am confident will happen. For those who disagree, I completely understand. Time will tell. Wishing nothing but the best for each of you.
Happy New Years to you as well, wish you all the best. I actually spoke with Chas 5 days ago. He stated he had hoped to release a update this past month, but instead is waiting for a few other items to close beforehand. Once those close, he plans to put out press releases. That is really all I know at the moment. Did not ask for time frame, but sounded like it was close.
Right, he has no interest in it...he only has over 50 million shares in the company. No reason for him to see this develop.
Let's hope so! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone!
Thanks for the update wen, i am hopeful we receive an official announcement from the company soon!
Thank you very much for sharing this again iceandfire!
Hi Chsmoke. I've touched on this before. I own a decent amount of shares, many on this board own substantially more. If i sold, it must likely wouldn't effect the share price much at these levels (we saw last week someone dumped over 320k in one day with little change). Still Chas is willing to take my calls regularly and has done so for past 6 plus years. If he had no intention of progressing CTDT, I assume I would never hear from him again. I don't ask for much during these calls...mainly just some peace of mind that things are still moving forward. Based on the relationship I have built with him, I consider his responses genuine.
He understands the shareholders need a formal update and he plans to issue one (I don't have a time frame).
That is the only explanation I have. I remain hopeful but can certainly understand everyone's frustration. Best of luck everyone.
I have spoken with Chas very recently, and I am in agreement with Pony in that I hope we see some sort of update from the company very soon.
Hi Ch, thanks for checking in. Haven't given up, just waiting and hoping (all I can do) . Wish you a Happy Thanksgiving as well. Take care.
Thanks Chsmoke!
Chsmoke, I understand your frustration, we are all frustrated with nothing from the company in 2020.
However, look at the time-line. Company made a lot of progress in 2019 getting caught up on filings, etc. Unfortunately in November Mr. Snaper passed away. Last official news from CTDT was 8k on 11/21/2019 announcing his death and stating the company is prepared to commercialize Snapers amazing body of work. Obviously there was probably much legal hoops to jump through after his death, then a few short months later COVID hit. No travel, courts closed, country shut down. Obviously I wish Company could release a progress update, but the delay in 2020 is justified. Hope we hear something soon.
In regards to your questions on my identity, don't know what to tell you there. We don't know anyone's true identity here. For what its worth, in all honesty I am just a shareholder and that is my only relationship to CTDT and anyone at CTDT. When Chas came on board however many years ago I was able to get on the phone with him and since then have developed a good enough relationship over the phone where I can regularly reach out to him for updates. He can't ever give details, so really the calls just give me peace of mind that things are still moving. I consider Chas to be a genuine person based on my interactions with him.
I know my updates to the ihub board are repetitive and don't give much info. I simply trying to give those totally in the dark some kind of assurance that things are moving forward.
Sorry for the long post. I'm still hopeful for some good news soon.
Spoke with Chas yesterday, could not give me details but assured me things are in the works. Obviously COVID coupled with loss of Snaper have slowed things, but he stated his plans are starting to move forward and we should hear something soon. That's all I have. GLTA
Wonder if that was 'iceandfire', he or she mentioned they would be unloading shares a few days ago.
I am in agreement wen, I received a similar update from Mr. Saunders when I reached out a few days ago. Thanks for sharing!
Agreed Wen, I'm with you.
They are already behind on several quarterly filings, so this is nothing new from them, though still disappointing. I imagine once they release some news, they will get caught back up on the filings like they did last time.
Doubt he would get a package if he is let go, as he has not taken any salary since joining 6 or so years ago. In fact, he has injected several hundred thousand dollars into the company to keep things alive.
I am one of the shareholders that has regular conversations with Chas. I have spoken with him recently and echo what Pony stated last week. I think there are things in the works, and hope we see something soon. Wishing everyone the best.
Let's hope so. Thanks for update Pony!
Glad to see you are back Biz. Sorry to hear about health issues, but glad to hear you are feeling better. Regarding CTDT, I completely agree. Wish you all the best!
Thanks for update VC.
Thanks for the message Ice. Not always easy getting in touch with Chas. Normally takes a couple tries calling, and then a text exchange or two before we connect. I am fortunate enough to have been talking to Chas every month or two for past 5 years or so, so he does at least recognize my number. I have a descent amount of shares, but nothing close to some of the others that post here, so I consider myself lucky that Chas takes the time for regular calls with me.
Like I mentioned before, his voice mail is often full, so I think anyone trying to reach him has a better chance by texting and mentioning you are a shareholder of CTDT and would like to arrange a call.
From what I can tell, he has a lot on his plate and is tied into several ventures. However, I get the sense they all seem somewhat intertwined, have the same players,and can benefit each other. I have heard him speak very passionately about CTDT, and believe his heart is in it.
Getting this Company off the ground has taken longer than any of us expected, but I think we are close, and hope to hear good news soon.
Thanks VC, hope y'all are able to connect. Had a good call with him yesterday. I remain confident things are moving forward...ready to see some PR's or public communication from the company though.
Hi VC, as I mentioned yesterday, I spoke with Chas and he stated to give him a call or text him and he will get in touch with you. I know he gets a ton of calls and his voice mail fills up quickly...so texting to set up a call may be best.
Spoke to Chas, told him you were trying to reach him. He says to try calling him again or shoot him a text and he will get back to you.
Excellent, thanks VC!
Did you have any luck getting in touch with him?
His cell number is 714-323-1110. This is the number I reach him at, and the same contact number that was listed in past press releases.
Please Let us know how the conversation goes!
Thank you CH,yes,a father of two. Wishing all you Dad's a happy Father's day as well! Hoping to see some good things from CTDT soon!
Hi Chsmoke,
Not sure about Chas' motivation for moving back to L. A., though I do know he makes frequent trips to Vegas for CTDT purposes (he was on his way there when I last spoke to him).
Regarding your other question, I do think Chas is trustworthy,and I am confident we will see good things here...so why not buy more shares at these levels? I have actually added to my position a bit. However, at this point I am comfortable in my position, and my funds are tied up elsewhere. Would I like more shares?...absolutely. But for now I have reached my risk appetite. There is no such thing as a sure thing. Once news breaks,I might buy some more.
Take care, and good luck.
Hi Chsmoke, thank you for the message. Doing great, hope you are as well.
Regarding my convos with Chas (most recent being May 29th):
- I have asked regarding when we will see some sort of press release or news. He stated he plans to make some announcements in next couple of months. I am hoping for by end of July.
- Regarding if work is currently being done on CTDT, answer is yes. Obviously with travel restrictions, etc, this has been delayed.
- He is well aware of how long we have all been waiting here. The set backs from prior management are unfortunate, but Chas is confident we will see good things soon.
I apologize for not having specific details, as I don't ask for them. My calls are really to get an idea that things are still progressing.
Pony - are the above statements in line with your discussions with Chas? Anything else you wish to share?
Thanks and GLTA.
Thanks chsmoke,I appreciate there genuine response. I've been in this a while also, 8 years maybe. I want nothing more than for all the long time shareholders to make a return here worth there wait. Wish you the best!
Thank you Cuenca!
Chsmoke, several of us on this board (myself, Pony, Bizops, and others) have willingly shared what we know based on our own corresponde with the company. You have made no effort to reach out to the company, have relied us to share information, and are now being snarky and condescending in your posts towards us.
Once again, perhaps you should reach out to Chas and he can address your concerns.
I wish we were further along, however, I am still positive we will see good things here.
...And to answer your question, spoke to Chas on Friday.
Chsmoke, those of us who speak with Chas have posted here about our conversations. Chas has stated things are progressing nicely; however, Covid 19 has pushed things back a few months.
You are most likely not going to be satisfied with whatever we communicate back to you. With that being said, I suggest you call Chas and voice your concerns and hear it straight from him.
Hello CH, I am in complete agreement with Pony's post. Thank you, and good luck!
