I'm with you!
A man named Buffett once said:
“No matter how great the talent or efforts, some things just take time. You can’t produce a baby in one month by getting nine women pregnant.”
BINGO! This is the OTC. Hell, I'm $40k down today and have no intention of selling. Just waiting for the offer (prospectus) to be approved and released so I can really load up.
There are some here who have had their feelings hurt because GIGL has not progressed as "they" had intended/wished and, as you accurately put I, got cold feet and sold and now are second guessing. Sure, I wish GIGL was at least .50 today but it’s not, and me abrasively and repeatedly condemning the management group would only identify some level of immaturity on my part.
There are some here who had to sell for financial and/or personal reasons and in doing so made a rational, good sense decision based on those circumstances. For what it's worth, those people gained a ton of respect from me since my # 1 rule is never invest in the OTC what you aren't willing to lose. Family and personal situations always...always come first.
There have been bumps but I still have confidence in the management team and the associates around that team and still believe GIGL will be successful.

Ole Dega back on the grid from the far North and still $GIGL long and buying the dips. My outlook has remained unchanged since coming onboard in February and having dealt with Bahrain specifically in the past, the lack of progress was not surprising. Admittidly the delay in updates was somewhat disconcerting but my DD as well as others here was sufficient to maintain the conviction and stay the course.
I'm in the same boat as some of you but my opinion of where this is going keeps me from sweating, antognoizing or whining about my current "red" averaged position. Long 'n Strong on GIGL.

Or the competition? Bought cheap and willing to sell cheaper just to suppress the GIGL SP attempting to keep them out of the market?
Buying the dips, hoarding my chips for the looong and rewarding GIGL voyage!
Still here! Ole Dega is long and strong on $GIGL and back on the grid yesterday. Nice buying yesterday and today and you will have to excuse me for not participating in the hand wringing, second guessing and belly aching. I see me in all that anxiety back in the 70s and was rewarded only with ulcers, a triple bypass and a mitral valve.
Parsi has to be extremely careful with any information made available to the public as well as shareholders which could be construed as false statements. The SEC takes a dim view of situations in which securities are bought/sold due to such deceptive practices.
Do your DD...then do it again, make "your" decision and get in or out when "you" can handle it.

Was hoping you would be successful searching for that new ticker which meets your needs.
Chucky would then most probably adopt the GIGL nightly/weekly cleaning regime since the CA health dept has had little to no issues to date.
I'm sure that would be a huge disappointment to one lone individual here who seems to be enamored with a dirty balls fetish?
I don't recall seeing this before. If some of you are in that same boat here is a micro review from Quality$tocks last August. If you have seen it...it's worthy of a re-look. I would assume Dorsa Parsi keeps a watchful eye on the menu offerings for the kids.

Buying the dips and hording my chips for the long and rewarding $GIGL voyage!
From personal experiences negotiating contracts in Bahrain and the UAE; nothing happens in any great hurry. No points off but bartering and haggling is normal in their culture on just about anything sold or any business arrangement,...and they are experts. Outsiders just need to realize that aspect and more importantly that Ramadan basically brings the culture to a standstill.
Like you it is of no concern since I'm long and understand the administrative issues of any business dealings and especially in that world region.

Read and contemplate this again
GIGL People- Parsi has a 20 year run on Wall Street with Lehman, Prudential and Sutro & Co and he has been an officer of at least two (2) previous startups along with Kaufman and Gay who are also experienced in the same startup environment and legal requirements. Do you really think Parsi and crew are ignorant of the SEC rules for acquisitions and sales of company securities? Don’t you think Parsi has been part of numerous internal audits while at the three(3) entities above and which all of said audits would be available for review by the SEC. Do you thing he would knowingly falsify or allow any individual on his team to falsify or misrepresent the content of any filing to the SEC. One can assume he is very familiar with the requirements and there is no doubt he is aware of the consequences and liability for non-compliance. There are numerous stories on Wall Street of deception, misrepresentation, theft and fraud and along with those stories the consequences usually result in incarceration and heavy fines.
Now consider the career ending “hell” storm for Michelle Steinberg and Joan Barnes if they even remotely allowed themselves to be associated with an entity that is, could or would be a potential legal risk or a company that goes belly-up within 6 months of their association. Further consider the national and international PR disaster for both Jillian Michaels and Tia Mowry if they allowed themselves to be connected to that. Rest assured they have done their homework and both hire people to dig a lot deeper than we can just to cover their six.
Parsi sold a fraction of his stock and I believe it is going back in to GIGL for whatever he needs at the time. I applaud him and anyone else of this leadership who “reinvests” as needed. There are examples out there of company officers selling stock to fund their Kids tuition, taxes, etc., and all is legit as long as it complies with the company’s internal buy/sell procedure, their company financial disclosure requirements and the SEC 10b5 rule as applicable if MNPI is relevant to a buy/sell.
I’m amazed that a couple of people here are provided such attention, open your eyes and see what the few are trying to do. Do your own DD and analysis, fact check that with others parallel DD and then if you decide it’s risk worthy consult the charts if you desire for the timing and SP of your buy in. You and only you are responsible for a bad or good decision especially in the OTC arena. Do not invest any money that you can’t afford to lose. A profit always tastes better than a loss.
I’m all in looong on GIGL, the team, the niche, the kid thing and who they have chosen to speak for and about the company. I don't give a damn if you agree or disagree!
Longs....stick to your plan!
The naysayers here are of two types; anew with little DD knowledge just to cause anxiety and frustration with their caustic, abrasive and sometimes libelous and personal diatribe. The others are the frustrated ones who have established their own self serving goals and timelines for GIGL and her management team/associates. When those milestones fail to come to fruition it's someone else's fault and they wish to share their self pity with anyone who will bother to respond.
Bless their little hearts...but just ignore them and we can continue to be about our own business!
Cheap chips today, hope you were able to get a few!!

The old guy has his 7 digit hoard locked at $2.00. Being the sharing person I am, when it gets there I may consider giving up half and sleeping on the rest.
Picked up a few cheap today......

GIGL- Good week folks and would assume it could have been a little better without the injected innuendo and misinformation provided in reference to the Form 4 filings pursuant to GIGLs 10b5-1 plan.
It was a good opportunity to witness the impact of what uneducated awareness can breed when presented by sources whom have questionable if not devious goals.
The plus'...it was a great buying opportunity on the cheap, enjoy the weekend!

I would loudly echo those remarks Thoth! Obviously with his long and rewarding tenure on Wall Street Mr. Parsi recognized the value in internal transparency to the public as well as the shareholders. That was evident by the Form 4 filing annotating that the sales was pursuant to GIGLs 10b5-1 plan.
Even when there is no SEC requirement to formulate a -1 plan, great trust and confidence can be accrued from shareholders and the public when company insiders buy/sell shares under the a codification of an internal 10b5-1 plan.
The SEC also views such actions as positive on the part of the insiders. Joey's years of Wall Street experience so ingrained to the SEC requirements is definitely a plus to GIGL and us the shareholders.
The selling volume activity this AM may have something to do with the speculation and misinformation provided by certain disingenuous individuals here. I would caution all to be aware or become aware of the facts prior to making regretful errors. *GIGL- Outstanding buying opportunity this AM*
Buying the dips & hoarding my chips for the looong and rewarding GIGL voyage!!
Doubtful Mr. Parsi submitted the Form 4 himself, I would assume he has council to draft and file. If it was indeed a sale it may be a simple error in the date/shares total columns. You did note that it does identify a sale "pursuant to the 10b5-1 plan".
You do know what the 10b5 rule is and the fact that GIGL has a -1 plan under 10b5 is certainly reassuring to me as to the public transparency GIGL management wishes to provide.
Other than the simple clarification needed I have no issue with the filing....sales or acquisition of shares.
My 7 digits are locked at $2.00 for the time being and I'm aware that every municipality and state have rules in reference to hygiene for ball pits, how often they are to be cleaned, etc. Those rules in CA are some of the most strict. Get some help for your dirty ball fetish!
GIGL- When news of today's run makes the rounds...no telling where she will open in the AM.
Oh My! Old Dega goes off grid for a couple of weeks and GIGL has exploded!
The run up was inevitable based on the fundamental DD, management team and celebrity associates who have embraced the brand, and is just the beginning!
Maybe I should go of grid more often since faith in the GIGL team and patience has paid off and will continue to do so for all longs.

Do I smell something burning....LOL!
GIGL- Awesome vid and such a great spokesperson for GIGL. Can't wait to see the edited production video.
Tks for the post!

Look under the C's page 19 3/4 down the listing. Then give it a rest!
So your filings, independent and verifiable source is the Bahrain Yellow Pages.....Really?
Oh my! No one believes the fake news? Now that is NEWS; apparently there are lots of experienced longs who do. I think we all know where the "fake" news and BS resides.

Unreal News Events?
Lets see:
1.Giggles N’ Hugs Signs LOI to Open Its First International Franchise Locations in Bahrain.
2. Giggles N' Hugs (QTCQB: GIGL) today announced a multi-faceted partnership with Jillian Michaels , the foremost fitness expert and renowned life coach. Through the partnership, Michaels will become one of the largest shareholders in the company and the global brand ambassador, bringing her wealth of experience in building world-wide businesses to the California -based family restaurant and children's play space.
3.Barnes & Thornburg Represents Jillian Michaels in Giggles N’ Hugs Brand Expansion Deal
4. Giggles N' Hugs signs Tia Mowry as its newest Celebrity Brand Ambassador.
Yep, those alone are unreal announcements but then consider the management team of Joey Parsi, John Kaufman, Philip Gay, Michelle Steinberg....
Totally unreal....I would agree!

Oh....I must thank all for the cheap .08s this AM!
GIGL- I beg to differ my man. I just retired from a major U.S. defense contractor who had numerous contracts in Bahrain without incident. I've talked to our technicians who travel there often, associated with the locals on a daily basis and their only comments revolve around how anxious the population there is to modernize. They eagerly welcome western culture and business.
Please do not post something that you know little about unless you have been there.
A "billion" dollar modernization just started at the Bahrain Airport. Just think of the $GIGL possibilities there as well as stand alone brick and mortar stores, exciting times!!

He probably just doesn't know the GIGL facts (DD) after all, he only has 33K posts but he's "new to this penny stock thing" as he noted on on March 28.

GIGL Success
https://www.jillianmichaels.com/about
'In 2008, Jillian launched her company, Empowered Media, LLC, with her business partner Giancarlo Chersich. Over the past decade, Empowered Media has become a monumental wellness empire dedicated to total-life solutions comprising all aspects of living well, including nutrition, fitness, self-help and overall lifestyle. The company has invested in like-minded companies including Thrive Market, Lucky Jack Coffee, AQUAHydrate and Giggles N’ Hugs.
GIGL management has aligned themselves with immensely popular celebrity associates like Jillian Michaels and Tia Mowry. Aside from increasing the public awareness of the family friendly and kid healthy environment found at GIGL; that celebrity combination alone of two tremendously successful personalities in their own business acumen will certainly serve to enhance GIGL SP. Additionally, those associations will spotlights the uniqueness that GIGL can provide in a kid fun, friendly, and healthy niche while providing parents a safe and relaxed dining environment.
Then consider the addition of Michelle Steinberg as a PR guru and Joan Barnes, as an Advisory Board Member and there is no question as to the business talents and celebrities working to extend GIGL reputation and footprint goals.
Does anyone really think that these celebrities and business professionals would associate themselves with an failing enterprise...much less investing in one... Naah!
$GIGL looong!
I would supposed he may be a frequent visitor when GIGL opens in his country, just for the kid's games!!

SO SAD! Stockchaser: You've missed your prediction of .05 for three (3) months running now. You've done nothing but bad mouth (libel) the management team at $GIGL, and continually repeat misinformation related to the the stock, it's technical representations and falsely profess the companies DD.
How would it be possible for anyone to even consider your vocalizations to be of any value much less any positive guidance to any board you may visit. Being so disappointed in $GIGL why do you continue to banter about with your repetitive and manipulative BS. It's blatantly obvious why you are here and why you turned tail and ran last week when GIGL was nearing .10, if so disenchanted with $GIGL, why do you continue to offer (Scare) the less informed with your unprofessional-non-technical banter?
