How about the "independent".... BOD pay the employees their full wage instead of taking the cash out of the company and giving it to the CEO, and giving the employees stock, that keeps falling?
Still waiting on the PR for this one, only ones I see are the July pilot announcements.
And how much was his initial investment, wasn't it around $2.5M? I don't recall, but if so, he has doubled his investment while screwing the rest of the share holders.
When the BOD is awarding cash to the CXX team, and stock rather than pay to regular employees, it's not hard to figure out who's pocket they are in. That same cash could have gone to payroll where it should have belonged to begin with. Essentially Rory got cash while employees got stock that keeps getting devalued, just like he did to longs. All this suggests, never loved his longs, just their easy money.
It would also speak if they would publish merit based rewards and objectives. I.e. If the market cap gets to $100M, X number of stock will be awarded at X value, if it goes above that the percentage based award will be used, If a forward split occurs to offset the previous reverse split, X additional award will be provided split between cash and stock. And not awards that improve their personal holdings while relieving current stock holders of their position's value. People see through that like glass and the SP reflects it. How about the BOD award the EMPLOYEES the CASH instead of the CXX team? Employee CASH Bonuses, instead of stock in lieu of pay, or at LEAST the CHOICE to choose between them and how much of each.
The existing awards just go to show their true nature, and hint hint, it isn't related to loyalty to the longs that have funded their failures, or employees that have executed.
When you are selling something the market wants/demands, success is inevitable, we are not seeing that level of interest yet.

<- Just try to find Tagg CRM in the Play Store
<- Does anyone even use this anymore?
These all stand as DD examples of VERBs massive failures to deliver anything that improves a share holders position.
THIS IS WRONG!!
Sadly, there's a perpetual index of reasons why share holders with massive devaluation must wait a little longer, it never ends and really hasn't improved the share price regardless of touting all the improvements and strategic changes they have made. The state of the company MIGHT arguably be better but the state of the financials really has not much and the market is well aware.
It's most likely on the slow down hill slide until a few days before earnings to come out. Rinse.Repeat
Does that make it easier for Big R to award himself for the acquisition?
So you are saying $1.30 isn't a deal? Interesting projection.
I could be wrong, but let's face it this is a VERB pattern, big announcement, pps spike, trickle back down when the financials are released. Rinse and repeat.
I'll buy more shares when the price trickles back down, today isn't the day for a deal
And he probably did. In most browsers you can right-click a website and select something like "show source code" and it will let you see the client side web code. I'm using chrome in this site, you right click and it says, "View page source" Ctrl+U
Sounds like reading too fast to me ...
Probably, but I've haven't seen their code and couldn't say affirmatively. Most software companies have a floor full of attorneys looking for every option to protect the Intellectual Property they've paid scores of 6-figure salaries to write. It just makes sense. Hopefully Verb has too. Anything propriety they do should have protection from theft, including their branding.
I was never really sold on the nFusz product of interactive CRM, at least until after trying a few of their mediocre demos. The demos were garbage, BUT.... for the next few days when I would watch unrelated videos, and people would post info at the bottom of the screen related to the material on screen, I found myself instinctively trying to click it. It was then that I realized that there was merit in the idea, but I've always thought Verb was tackling it too narrowly, and hoped they'd develop more marketing maturity along the way. To a modest degree they have, specifically in the MLM arena, however I think their failure to flood the streets and condition people to clicking anything and everything in videos, is missing a key component of not only market acceptance, but generating market demand.
Further, I don't think the idea of opening another window on clicking the links follows a good user experience flow, especially when there are multiple links in each video. The call to action can work in certain selling circumstances, but it's annoying as hell, and causes your attention to be split when you were already watching something you were interested in. Instead I think clicking a link in the video should go to a queue of subsequent activity options. And there could be branches in that queue. For example, populate a shopping cart to review, populate a list of follow up videos that track with all the marketing banners you see on every subsequent website, populate a list of emails to send requesting more info, the list of ways to execute POST video calls to action are endless and I'd guess much more likely to guide a user's thoughts/interest towards wanting a product. Or even have it so that clicking a link in the video INSTANTLY and seamlessly Segways into a different video related to the link clicked.
I might be dead wrong, or maybe they have added all of those things since I last checked, I've been too upset with all of Rory's nonsense to keep shaking my pom poms for him every day.
Truth! The only way I've been able to recovery any of the 6 figure loss, I've experienced with Verb has been to bite the bullet and day trade all I owned on the swings. Finally had to face the reality that holding nFusz stock that I bought at nearly $3 PPS pre-RS was wasting time, ..... and time is money.
Ted, I will vouch for this, I've been writing code for over 30 years, (the majority of that time for Fortune 100-500 companies) what you are saying has merit. In fact it typically takes only a few lines of code to do any ONE thing, it just takes 99x those few lines of code to put all the guardrails and prevent those few lines of code from being used outside of the intended execution. The millions of lines have to do with appearance, error handling, bells and whistles, etc.
During the LD500 presentation today Rory mentioned potentially closing the new accretive acquisition, tomorrow or next week, does anyone know for certain who they are acquiring this time? Another reverse merger?
LD500 Presentation completed
Acquisition potentially completed by tomorrow?
Don't forget about the bonuses the officers will take for their "successful" execution .
Tend to agree, if they could make more than they spend they could at least have a forward looking growth pattern, but the last few years have been: sell a Rory idea, fail losing investment money, raise more money for the next mediocre idea, pay yourself handsomely for failure, rinse and repeat. That's not sustainable.
So far Rory is the single most pumped up about his own interactive video selling idea. Some have agreed, but it certainly has not swept the market with disruptive acceptance.
Simple banner ads have been more effective. In fact, he should probably, just build the Live functionality into banner ads as 3-7 sec video banner ads.
The lack of insider buying can be interpreted in more than one way.
While "Facts are a stubborn thing", understanding the what they represent another matter altogether.
Just imaging what would happen if Rory and Jeff used their bonuses to start buying shares
Historically VERB Roadshows lower the share price, now that VERB is NASDAQ, and more people are doing DD, this may account for some of the slow decline of the SP
It does seem like the short interest has diminished the last 1-2 weeks
Seems like the slow slide back down until the next big announcement
And until then the slow decline in SP?
Interesting take, thanks
To me, I think the billion success level would be the result of VERBLive becoming culturally adopted, especially by the youngest generations. If the population becomes accustomed to and expects VERBLive as a typical and popular purchasing interface, that could happen. And I do think that is possible, but I can't go as far as to say probable. That giant unknown is the black hole in all of this for me. You just never know what is going to gain traction, especially with the general populous.
