Why does that not surprise me at this point??
You're right my computer was hacked. I couldn't get a call through to Rufus so tried his attorney Maurice. Maurice was the attorney that was on one of the radio shows with him. When I called his office I didn't get through to him the first time then I tried again and he took the call. At that time he assured me the bonds and what Rufus was claiming were legit and his information about the reverse split was accurate. He said he was going to pick up Rufus and then they would place a conference call to me explaining all the bad PR and again he assured me CSHD was legit. He kept telling me to calm down and trust Rufus. Yea RIGHT! I contacted Charlie and we were prepared to include her in the conference call that never came. The next day CSHD stock took another tumble and Maurice never returned any future phone calls.
Send email because I've changed my number and it's unlisted.
I found that email where Rufus said he would personally back my investment....sure Rufus back it with what. Am sending that to the Inspector.
I doubt there is anyway to ever get our money back. Do you remember the name of that DUI attorney he was using?
Hey stranger...I got a letter from LaTour today and am sending him info.
That is so true. In my case this was as simple as believing a CEO that was really lying. Like you said we live and learn.
It is so refreshing to read a post like yours that is honest, down to earth and real. It gives one faith in these message boards.
You and I came to the same conclusion at the same time. Unfortunately I got in a much higher average than you so I lost a lot. At that time I didn't know enough about the stock market to know you could make money even if it was a scam.....learn something new everyday.
Thank you I'm sure anyone that is honest will admit they lost money in a stock at one time or another. It's refreshing to hear someone be honest about it.
Stick to exposing the scam stock companies that is where your talents rest. Every single person that invests in a stock does it to make money or they wouldn't be here in the first place.
Blaming an innocent shareholder for the lies of a CEO is beyond belief. The fact is I didn't know you any more than I knew him but he was the CEO. You and all of us that have ever purchased stock can fall under the spell of men like him. Then again maybe you are so smart that never happened to you. After all was said and done I raised my opinion of your newsletter but with your latest writings on trying to kill the shareholders you take it too far. Do what you are best at and slam the scam stock companies.
Yes I am.
In retrospect I hear the same thing you are hearing. I was new to the market and fell for his BS.
When Rufus didn't meet the August 1st deadline I got out.
Rufus cost a lot of people a lot of money. He was a master at lying. It's sad people like him use a talent in such a sick way but it happens.
I'm really not sure what your problem is Cindy and truthfully I could care less. You seem to think you have all the answers. When you grow up you will understand none of us have all the answers all the time. My buying CSHD had to do with the lies Rufus told....my selling had to do with the lies Rufus told. No one else is to blame except our dear departed Rufus. This isn't a complex problem....Rufus lied and some innocent people believed him.
No Blue Sky Basin the bashers aren't the blame. Rufus and his lies are too blame. My decision to buy CSHD was based on Rufus and my decision to sell and save what I could was based on Rufus. Period end of story.
Lot's of people live in Texas that doesn't mean they were involved with Rufus. Frankly I hope he gets charged, convicted and sits in jail for a long time. Lot's of people bought stock in FHAL/CSHD from Texas that like me never heard of the guy before this stock hit the boards.
Cindyyoohoo some people like to talk just to hear themselves talk and it appears you are one of them. Get your facts straight before you involve people that aren't involved. If I was part of the scam believe me I would have made money not lost money. You are on the right track with CSHD and wrong track with who was involved.
This is the txprincess and no I was not part of the pumpers with CSHD. The fact is I loss nearly $10,000. If I would have been part of the pumpers I would have stayed and sold out when it hit $4 a share. Rufus guananteed me $15. a share between the dates of July 28th and August 1st when he said the halt and reset would take place. He gave the date and the amount of the reset to everyone that was listening and everyone that attended the PalTalk shareholder meeting. You need to get your facts straight.
ACTC update....
XXXXX,
Yeah, I understand that frustration. All I can really say is to not give up, your loss is only on paper until you sell (I have to add this caveat for legal reasons - I am in no way giving stock advice one way or the other and it is up to you as an investor to do what’s best for your own financial situation. Please do not use what I say as advice to buy or sell stock, because that is not my intention and not legal for me to do so.)
We understand that you’re eagerly looking for news releases from ACTC, just right now their lawyers are being extra cautious to obey all rules and regulations through this registration. Once we’re allowed to go full steam ahead – like on MCET, you can expect the types of news and information like the MCET news stream. I will notify everyone as soon as I can – that’s the best I can do at this point. You will indeed be notified at the first moment possible.
Thank you,

LOSS OF VISUAL FUNCTION SAVED IN RATS BY STEM CELLS
September 21, 2006
Dr. John Faessel, Editor

In another dramatic display of stem cells’ potential for healing, (ACTC)’s scientists and their collaborators report* the prevention of certain loss of visual function in rats with the use of human embryonic stem cell-derived retinal cells. The results further validate the astonishing advances made in the field of stem cell research.
Caused by a genetic trait, these rats had lost their photoreceptor cells over a period of several months following birth. The condition is similar to that occurring in human macular degeneration. Photo receptor cells are responsible for converting light into nerve signals that can ultimately be transmitted to the brain via the optic nerve.

I was late getting online this morning so missed the .93. I did get an email back from Astra this morning. Since it was already public knowledge that ACTC was looking for partnerships I asked her if this was still in the works and did they still have interested in parties. Her response...if I remember correctly it was Bill Caldwell that took GERN to 6+ bucks a share.
XXXXX you are correct. One of the partnerships has already been announced (wicell) but they are working on more. It'll take some time to find the right ones to benifit ACTC, but Bill Caldwell is a wonderful businessman. So I don't think that you have much to worry about in that respect. Check the latest ACTC news!
Thanks,
Astra
I still think there will be more good news coming. IMO I think what will follow this will be a partnership announcement. The CEO said that was the NEXT STEP and I think as progressive as this company is that he will do just that. This is all my OPINION. Based on the email I posted from Astra she said she couldn't say right now because of RegFD but to STAY TUNED.
I don't think she would have mentioned "Reg FD" if there wasn't something good happening that they can't talk about right now. She could have just said there will be news when there is news so I think this is something real hopeful. GLTA
I wrote an email to Astra and got this reply today. Maybe it's time for some GREAT news!
XXXXX,
I can’t say anything either way (due to Reg FD) – so I can neither confirm nor deny… But all I can say is stay tuned this week. :)
Thanks,
Astra
Dragon don't know if you are still in ACTC or not anymore but thought I would share this info. I sent Astra an email and got this back today. What is Reg FD?
xxxxx,

Are we the only ones up this morning?? LOL
Thank you I didn't know about the paid advertising sure changes what you think of their opinion?? I was thinking of that one as "just a few hours."
serf what do you think about ECFL???
What a wonderful thought...LOL
Oh that isn't a problem I have ten free trades coming...LOL. At least I have one thing going my way but would have to make a lot of profit on that 68 cents to cover the real cost of the trade.
Ok so we have 68 cents lets find us a play...LOL. We could challenge ourself and see how far we can get with 68 cents. Let see how much money we can make on 68 cents by the first of the year...sounds like fun! LOL
Gee Serf we might consider doing a joint venture. Let's see what we can do with our $1.34. Maybe we can get rich together.LOL
I'd rather have my money back...LOL. I don't care what they call me just give me a chance to get my funds back.
?????
Yep! Naive has turned into STUPID!
All I have is 34 cent left Serfy so guess I can't get in too much trouble. Leaving the house is not a problem my eyes are swollen from crying and I don't think they would let me in any public place as bad as I look right now.
Yes serfy someone did tell me to average down...said that was my only hope!
