Ya, it only took 93 sec for a search. That may have been the longest it ever took. Brutal. At one time it was taking about 35 sec, now a minute and a half.
This is from an Aug 25th PR. That's more than two months ago. Maybe the IEEE is doing the auditing? The part I really love is "SEC certified". The SEC is now certifying acct firms? Huh?
"IDS has retained counsel to prepare the documentation for the company stock to move to the OTCBB. IDS audited results by our Independent Chartered Accountant are now being prepared for review by a SEC certified accounting firm in the United States. IDS' fully audited results of our overseas accounting firms should be completed in time for IDS to move to the OTCBB in the coming quarter."
Someone posted a message on an SI board. Did some very brief DD and took an initial position. I called the company and talked to the sales guy and the IR guy. Very intriguing and exciting story. Being a golf nut makes it even better. The story and product can lend itself to a huge success story but it has a ways to go. Like I said funding is the biggest obstacle here. Price and O/S make a PP difficult if not impossible. While the shafts sound very interesting the price is a big factor.I am actually a club maker and the shafts at golfworks are very expensive, $70 and $80 each. Thats $560 and $640 for a set of 8 just for shafts. At that price there are not a lot of people going to be buying them. Kind of a catch 22. Need to get the price point lower. Higher volumes would allow this but the current price will make higher volumes tough. Hopefully they can get some funding without killing the shareholders.

While I have taken an initial position, the funding is going to be the biggest concern going forward. Almost a 100M shares o/s so I hope they don't dilute further. That being said, this story is pretty ripe from a marketing perspective and should attract some funding. This lends itself to an infomercial very nicely which can give it a big jumpstart.
I agree Chan, it is a very good idea. Coming into a new, large market and beating the originators. Problem is you need to execute the plan.
Well,
I have sold my last shares today to close out my position. Made a very healthy profit over the last couple months. I was convinced pretty early about the legitamacy of this one, however, I took the chance that it would make a run before it imploded and I was rewarded for the risk. If anyone is a golfer and interested in an intriguing play you might want to take a look at EGLF. I took an initial position today and will start the DD process. It has quite a story going on right now. My first question is funding. Sorry for the OT.

Shouldn't Data be posting soon about how he bought 400K shares today on the bid?
Still waiting. I guess they haven't got around to "turn on this Friday". Still takes close to a minute to do a search.

I just received this from datatech. I was ready to sell. Won't sell now. I advised her that I was retired from the FBI and a lot of people here thought IDWD was a scam. Be your own judge. Using my best judgement, I'm holding!

Crossbow, just got internet connection here in hotel lobby in Bangkok. I got in Thailand last nite for Society meeting and awards this week with CTO. Data Center almost calibrated in States we are finishing final details from here and will turn on this Friday when CTO back in Pakistan. Speed is incredible and we hope to have Edmunds and Travel both up this coming weekend. I saw in CNN real bad in Florida now hope all are safe. What I know about dividend and buyout it is definitely not a pink sheet scam but OTCBB company. It is very complex deal but adds huge value to the IDWD stock. It is designed so that even after special dividend stock will retain its value. I think after all publicity here in Thailand this week IDS will be in alot security and tech publications with this technology. The public has no idea, and even I don't know the complete market value, of this encryption level combined with IDS biometric technology. Stay safe and be back soon.
1min 27sec to do initial search.

"These steps are required since IDS Worldwide, Inc., under the negotiated buyout terms, is not selling the entire HLS division and the IDS will maintain ownership in the new entity. "
What new entity?
Wow, did I really type August, sorry about that, s/b October. Time to get some sleep.
August 16 and still no data centers. What is the latest on getting these online?
"SEC certified accounting firm" The SEC is certifying accounting firms?
Thank you Yankee. I guess you and I are co-dumbest shareholders ever. I have some to go before my shares are "free".
I love the continuous name calling. Taking a profit makes me the dumbest shareholder ever. If everyone could be so dumb. If every share I sold doubled as this one has, dumb is good.
And how am I bashing? I am amazed at how everything is considered a bash unless you are talking about what a deal of a lifetime this is. I have stated my position consistently and am now taking a profit and that is bashing. Strange definition. I thought that was the object...to make money.
Be my guest. I've never posted anything to the contrary. I have been able to sell 35K shares so far and was disappointed not to be able to trim more if not all. I have a long way to go.
What tactics are those?
OK Lap, so jux is the only one who is allowed to sell. I don't see you bashing him.
So much for the announcement today. Lucky man, Jux. What did you get out at?
Like I said, they don't need shares. I had a sell at the bid when it was .4 and they took 5000 shares and dropped the bid to .39 which they took 10000 then dropped it to .34. Guess I wasn't as lucky as Jux.
Sorry, "wouldn't" call it painting red.
I would call that painting it red. There are no buyers. Alot of sellers.
Looks like the MM's don't need any shares.
Wish I was LOL but I do own quite a few. 6 figure shares.
When is that PR coming out?
I hope a couple weeks doesn't mean the same as 10-15 days. Oct 5 close date for the data centers has come and gone.
D-day for the data center is tomorrow. Data, since you seem to have knowledge, is the data center(s) going to be up and running tomorrow?
Who was notified of a symbol change?
sec10 This is the last email I received from them. I think I posted this before. Doesn't say one way or another,however, it does say they are dealing direct with the owner and not IDS.

Hi Tom, since I am not involved with a transaction with IDS, rather with the
owner directly as a personal transaction I am not able to comment on the
transaction.

Nice try. I explained that that is exactly what I did. You narrowed your search down to Ford's After I narrwoed my search it worked. Sorry, no lies or untruths here. Just you're spinning of the truth. And how about your lies. Short? I would not be surprised if I don't have 100x the shares you have.
The 5th is next Wed. Will it be completed or will we have a "glitch" that delays it?

Message to all longs about DataCenter(s).
I just received a personal email from CEO Patrick Downs. I belong to a private investment club, basically made up of friends and every day investors like you and me. I've sparsely been communicating with Downs via email.
From my latest email correspondence, Downs stated that the data center would be implemented by October 1-5. He stated that this was what was in the contract.
That means 12 days or less. I clarified that with Downs and just wanted to share to all the regulars and new people. So all the slow load times will be gone in under two weeks.
Enjoy the weekend.
Tell me what untruth I posted! I would love to know as opposed to your untruths, humble that I reposted.
That was considerably worse than my initial response to bumbletrader that got deleted.
You don't have a clue.

kickasks, your computer must be as faulty as your brain. I put in a 100 mile search for Ford vehicles with a Milwaukee zip code of 53201 and came up with 1993 ads. That's NINETEEN HUNDRED AND NINETY THREE! That's just for FORD. GEEZ, do these guys think we're idiots? I mean, they post such nonsense along with all the other drivel, but one has to remind themself that these are just sharks with an agenda to manipulate the pps lower before they get their asses handed to them......... These guys KNOW the clock is ticking down and time running OUT to cover their miserable short positions. Well, shorty, I hope ya LOSE YER ASS!!! Laptop, i couldn't have said it better myself. Can somebody put this guy in ihub jail?
Very sad!
All right, this thing is f'in with me. I went through a ton of zip codes with only within 100 miles and got no results found. Then I tried micasey's narrowed selection and got results . now I put in previous zip's with no selection except within 100 miles again and I get results.
Thanks, seems strange that it shows no results if you use all makes. That needs to be fixed. I think people would like to see any car within their zip code range and then narrow it down from there.
