Don't you think that every time Rory dumps another 15M shares into the market that weakens the effect the longs tightly held shares make a difference?
So what's your take on why there is all this great positioning, technology, and opportunity, yet the pps, without insider trading, just keeps sinking while the rest of the market rises? Another reason so many are utterly frustrated. Optimism alone does not increase the valuation.
I can't speak for anyone else, but animosity isn't my sentiment, is disappointment over the realization that Rory has been dead wrong, a LOT, and I can not trust what he says vs. what he does. That is not to say he doesn't have tenacity, he does, clearly, but is it mostly focused on taking care of himself, or does he genuinely have ANY real/true sense of loyalty to the people that shared their hard earned money to stoke the flames of his vision? His actions, 3 specifically, have diminished my respect for him.
1. Repeatious projection and promises made but never met, and seldom acknowledged as his fault for misleading.
2. His rewarding himself handsomely for doing so, literally the opposite of taking responsibility.
3. Can't afford payroll, offers stock in lieu of pay to employees, then takes a bonus roughly equal to the money they didn't have to pay employees.
I know of a group of guys that worked for years building a new company, one of them worked nights for 4 years without compensation, even contributing additional funds, after working his day job, to build the new company. That company experienced wild growth until it was eventually bought out. I contrast this dedication and work ethic to what I've seen here.
And most "growing" companies don't imply they are more successful, because their debt and spending rate are outpacing their cash flow.
It seems to me that adding more customers when the cost per customer of doing business is negative, indicates growing debt will result until that cost per customer can be right-sided.
There are pumpers
There are loyal longs
There are common investors
There are common traders
There are paid advertisers
There are shorters
There are people that are frustrated because they trusted Rory's words and invested in the company he runs. Anything can happen in stock speculation, sure... but as a rule, people expect the valuation of their investment money to increase a little at a time, after the investment money is used to create growth (typical dip). If the norm was to see 95% loss of valuation for years, in hopes of a lottery ticket win (especially with a NASDAQ company), there would be a lot less frustration with Rory. And instead of holding himself accountable (I.e. "eating our own chili"), he keeps taking healthy compensation, that is clearly funded by investor dilution rather than profit.
So yeah, there are many people that trusted him, that are very concerned they will never recover, because they've lost that trust based on the correlation of his own words with his own actions and results. Everyone of us in this category HOPES that will change and that VERB will succeed, but to continue to take Rory at his word, requires far more loyalty to him than he has shown investors.
That explains his endless optimism
I just cracked 200% increase in share ownership, I paid dearly for the first 100%, and flipped for the next 100% at $0 cost, I'm just trying to offset some of the rate of dilution.
Pretty Sure Rory is the CEO, McKinley isn't in charge of Rory, exactly how could he prevent the CEO from terminating an employee?
It's truly ridiculous
No, he mentioned the release of a couple employees that violated company policy on insider trading.
NASDAQ Surges $240+, VERB why not you too?
Poor Buffi can't handle the truth
Now if he announces a a buyout by MS it might work out
Imagine how much one quarter could have been improved and the working capital available if Rory and Jeff hadn't taken taken 1/3 of the capital as a bonus
Seems like strong back filling
But MS was supposed to be done in Dec
Maybe TDA will update over night??
How you can squeeze shorts when most of them only hold for 1 day on average?
Odd TDA shows:
Shares Outstanding 55.9M, which makes more sense if the goal was to sell 15M shares and per

just prior to 3/20/21 they had abt 40M
Anything ever really take off with Odoo?
Oh I got that, and I agree that transparency and honest are not hallmarks of bbooth and nFusz. I have been hoping VERB + NASDAQ + SEC would shift that paradigm. Personally, I still take a giant burn to Rory and Jeff taking huge bonuses for demolishing investor value. I don't have a problem with bonuses, but not when investor share holders pay the bill, a BIG bill.
I also wonder if the price drop has been exaggerated by the investors in the $1.60 offering are stop loss selling.... I mean they thought $1.60 was a deal when the price was over $2.00, I can't imagine they are as enthusiastic presently.
I'd guess he is working to replace Chad quickly, if the rumors are true, and show the change of staff as a correction rather than a detriment, once the change is completed. Why would any CEO want to release any more damaging news than required? Better to show progress.
Don't we get to see the impact of Solo Fire Revs on 3/31?
starting to wonder if this is heading back to $1
Other than a positive material event or positive earnings, I don't know what would stop the downward trend for a little while. Except a major NASDAQ uptick, maybe. Makes you wonder where the bottom will be this time. Also I have to wonder if some of this is the valuation reset relative to the new dilution.
Again...apples and oranges.
There's a big difference between a single dishonest event in one's life and a stream of misrepresentations to thousands of investors, 'without sin' is a grossly disproportionate allocation.
Well let's say it was accurate, for argument's sake, but the amounts were small and/or 1 time trade, it might violate company policy but not SEC policy, based on strict definitions. Then it might not be sufficient to be considered material.
To be fair, some days it does
Maybe I should rephrase, when NASDAQ goes down, so does Verb.
Agreed, not withstanding any news, I always compare against the overall NASDAQ trend.
MY interpretation is that this is a private investor, that has steadily increased his holdings since at least 2020. You can interpret that any way you like.
Ah, no one was in the same room... makes sense.
Speaking of Chadster, his linked in resume is a bit fishy.
https://www.linkedin.com/in/iamchad/
1988-1992 he's a machine gun Sergeant in the army
The next career entry is Vice President of Technology at Toyota North America??!! 1999-2003 and the only thing in between is 4 years of college 1991-1995?
He must be the luckiest man alive.
And there was some positive analysis going out last week, so as long as fins aren't abysmal, as the market begins shifting back into tech, and the NASDAQ creeps up, it seems reasonable to believe verb will continue it's series of surges.
My questions: Has Rory seen the video and remember who was in the location the video was shot from, and... was it at least interactive?
