Anybody remember this comment? Just thought I'd come back here after a year to say that I was RIGHT about this company and its sleazebag leader Shayne. Meanwhile, we haven't had one of those sunny upbeat comments from Mrs. Smith in such a long time? Hmmmm...wonder why?
Now you're just waiting for it to o to .05? Interesting...what about all of the comments from you on how the pinksheets were poised to make a huge comeback? What about all the people on this board who said that Buzz was the next Google? Its time for people to admit their MISTAKES. Shayne the crook even wanted to get my e-mail address to "punish" me for criticizing the company. What kind of CEO of the "next google" does that?
The company is a sham.
WOW...MRs. Smith finally comes around....
so can we all agree this stock was a TURKEY?
Thank you thank you for finally figuring it out.
Just thought I'd post this:
OccuLogix Provides Progress Update on the Commercial Development of Its TearLab(TM) Osmolarity System
9:03a ET October 15, 2008 (Market Wire)
OccuLogix, Inc. (NASDAQ: OCCXD)(TSX: OC) provided an update today on the progress made by its wholly-owned subsidiary, OcuSense, Inc., in the commercial development of its TearLab(TM) Osmolarity System ("TearLab(TM)").
TearLab(TM) has recently received CE mark approval, clearing the way for sales in the European Union and all countries recognizing the CE Mark. In connection with the CE mark clearance, OcuSense has achieved multi-year agreements with four distributors for exclusive distribution of TearLab(TM) in five European Union countries. Beginning immediately, TearLab(TM) will be available in:
- United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland distributed by the Birmingham Optical Group;
- Germany distributed by Bon Optic;
- Spain distributed by Equipsa; and
- Italy distributed by SIFI Diagnostics
Additional European countries will be added during the coming months as the Company expands its distribution network.
"The introduction of TearLab(TM) into the eye care market addresses the unmet need for simple, point-of-care tests that can generate objective physiological data for improving the quality of clinical decision making," said Eric Donsky, OccuLogix' CEO.
"In addition, the ability to perform tear osmolarity testing in the office, using any member of the clinical staff, is a significant improvement upon current methods of assessing tear osmolarity," continued Donsky.
About Osmolarity
Studies have shown that osmolarity, the measurement of total solute concentration in patients' tears, is objective and quantitative, and a highly specific biomarker.(i) In dry eye disease, the accuracy of tear film osmolarity is considered superior to any other single test for dry eye analysis, including Lactoplate, Schirmer's test, and corneal staining.(ii)
Measuring osmolarity using current in-lab testing technologies presents a challenge because of the need for large volumes of tear fluid. Currently, osmolarity can only be tested in reference labs, which makes this type of testing difficult because of the need to either ship samples and risk evaporation, or require the patient to travel to a lab for testing.
About TearLab(TM)
The introduction of the TearLab(TM) Osmolarity System marks a significant change in how tear osmolarity testing will be conducted. The TearLab(TM) technology uses a novel "lab-on-a-chip" approach that requires less than 50 nL (nanoliters) of tear fluid in order to measure tear osmolarity. By using such a small amount of tears, the TearLab(TM) Osmolarity System mitigates issues that have hindered practical, objective point-of-care osmolarity testing. The system consists of three components: the TearLab(TM) Osmolarity Test Card, the TearLab(TM) Reader and the TearLab(TM) Pen.

Looks like your instinct was right...the stock shot up on recent news after the recent reverse stock split.
Well, we lost money with the company so....I guess you could say we're not over it until we get that money BACK.
HAHAHAHAAH!!!!!!!
They want my IP address? They want to come after me and slojab and the rest because we are asking FOR THE AUDITED FINANCIALS!?!? and because we are criticizing their pathetic sham of a company. Guess what??? We're in the USA and we have something here called FREEDOM OF SPEECH losers!!!
Shayne Heffernan?
Since I have been off this board since last May, an someone enlighten me on who this guy is? I don't recall seeing his name mentioned last year at all. Thanks.
Wow...what a shock. They failed to do even the most basic legitimate thing...
I wonder if it would be worth contacting al of the investors in HRRN and asking each of them to donate $100 to hire a private investigator to located Cortellazi, Reynault, Serge, etc. and gather up evidence and their location to submit to the authorities....now wouldn't that be fun? To see them doing the perp walk?
Couldn't have said it better myself. All the excuses for failing to follow up on these things are just that...excuses. But, it is important to think about WHY they don't follow up on these things. That is more important. If, for example, they simply didn't provide audited financials because they are disorganized, then you could say the company is being run by incompetent people. But, that is NOT why they have failed to do so. They have failed to do so becuase they are engaged in DECEPTION, and that is far more serious. An incompetently run company with a good product can be salvaged. A deceptively run company can't be salvaged because its purpose is to rip people off.
Why on EARTH would THIS be the time to buy shares? This stock is no different than it was 5 months ago (or a year ago, or...). It seems that no matter what the economic news or time period, you suggest purchasing more stock. If the stock is perpetually in the toilet, and if the company consistently refuses to provide the up to date financial information, there is no good time to buy...because the stock shouldn't be bought at all.
No have not seen him. Still own my shares. I just kind of forgot about buzz for a while there. Its like being frozen in time and waking up to find that NOTHING has changed.
Did they ever produce those AUDITED financials? NO? Really? Wow. Did the Olympics feed that Buzz frenzy and make the company a billion dollar holding? NO? really? I kinda figured that Google would be SHKING IN THEIR BOOTS by now...and it does seem that some people on this board actually had the gonads to accuse people of being GOOGLE plants. (side note: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! What a pathetic joke).
Jeez...maybe its still MAY 23rd WHEN I LAST POSTED, HUH? Maybe that is why nothing has changed since then...hmmm...let me look at my calendar...well, that is weird. its says its OCTOBER 9th! But how can that be? Shouldn't all of those wonderful things promised to us have HAPPENED by now? The only change I see is that the value of this fake little stock is still in the toilet...
...and before anyone like MRS SMITh asks the question, I STILL have the 45,000 shares I bought waaaayyyyy back when. They are sort of like souvenirs at this point since they ain't worth much. Just keep 'em around to remind myself not to be so stupid with my money next time.
Good to see you too:) Good to be back...I'm sure everyone missed me!
Where is that pesky SC by the way?
MAybe that is because nobody wants to buy a pig...even if it has lipstick on it.
Pennylenny looks like you and I are on the same page....
Well, I am back and I see that people are still pumping this stock. Its been over two years since I invested in this sham company and they haven't gone anywhere. Hey I have a question, have they produced those financials yet that they promised? No? What a shock? Looks like they are basically a web site and nothing more...
Brilliant article...too bad no one in Nevada government seems interested in following up.
I'm bbbaaack.....and I see that HRRN is still in the toilet. Called the phone number listed on their last fake announcement and got a mobile number answering service. What a joke. Sorry to all the folks out there who lost money to Andrew Cortellazi the scum bag.
I have some info on the company that is encouraging...
First off this is a legit company. I know someone who works for the company (they are married to a colleague of mine) and have heard from that person that the launch in Europe went well. The launch here in the US was postponed because they are still working on getting approvals for the Occusense Equipment, but the launch will take place and it will be national. Also, they put out a call for private investment and were able to raise enough money that they didn't have to look at venture capital firms for money. In fact, a great deal of medical doctors were clamoring to get in on the ground level with investments. That says to me that the product is solid. Right now they will limit the equipment's analysis capabilities to diseases of the eye, but the potential is unlimited since there are a vast number of genetic tests that one could envision using the Occusense system for that don't even have anything to do with vision. Any how, that is my 2 cents. I have invested $5,000 in the company and my friend and spouse invested the minimum $25,000 when they joined the company (and got the preferred value stock). I think the reverse stock split was a good move because they need to stay legal with the NASDAQ people.
This is my first post here, but I will stick around as this company continues to grow and progress. They have very good business and scientific leadership at the top and I feel good about them.
I DO HAVE SHARES. I have been holding on to them since last year and am down over 50%, so I have every right to post here. You can see from the history of my posts that what I am saying is true.
NAT55611...its very simple. Just go back to my posts and interactions with WEO and MRSSMITH from last year (simple enough). Look at what I was saying. Look at what they were saying. Has anything changed? Was I not asking about audited financials back then? Was MRSSMITH not laying on the positive news with nothing to back it up? Was WEO not pumping shamelessly? There has been NO change. Just these two repreating the same lies over and over and over....
If that is tru I will personally come on to this board and APOLOGIZE to WEO and MRSSMITH in the sloppiest way possible. BUT I KNOW THAT AIN'T HAPPENING, because I have been hearing that line for YEARS.
I'm not crying. Just look at the histopry of this board and see what people said LAST year. Its the same broken record over and over again. You know how many times I've heard that tired line that "news was jsut around the corner?" Give me a break.
Good luck with that....I've been in this company for 2 years. I stopped posting here last year and just poopped in to see what was up and I see that the same PUMPERS (WEO and MRSSMITH) are still sucking people in with their BOGUS enthusiasm. YOU WILL NEVER GET AUDITED FINANCIALS FROM THIS COMPANY. NEVER. Quit wasting your time. They are a SCAM.
I'm BAAAACK!!!!
Hi everyone. Its been almost a year since I posted. I never sold my shares and have watched my original value in HRRN (which I bought when the company was called Botaniex) drop 99.15% (i.e., my original investment of roughly $1,800 is now worth about $3.80).
I want to say this to all the "newbies" on this board who may have bought this company recently because of the TOTALLY BOGUS PR that HE-5 puts out. HEAR ME VERY VERY CLEARLY. This is NOT A REAL COMPANY. This is a shell. It is manipulated by one of the shadiest people you will ever hear of, Andrea Cortelazzi. He has done this to MANY MANY people and he gets away with is because he is located in Canada and he works the Pink Sheets. There is NO office in Carson City. There are no mines in Africa. Serge and Denyse are Andrea's chums (or worse, they may not be real people). There is no mining equipment. The geological statements on the web site are all plaigiarised off of other web sites. The pictures of mining and mining equipment can be found as royalty free images on the net. IT IS ALL FAKE.
Its sad but the SEC will probably not ever investigate this because its a pink sheet and the work required to go after them is about the same as going after a hedge fund manager (which is a much bigger fish we would all agree). This stock will not become anything. YOu will not get your money back. Buying more stock is the same as writing a check to Andrea Cortellazi and walking away. SORRY TO BE SO BLUNT, BUT I HAVE LOOKED OVER THE LAST YEAR OF POSTS AND AM ALARMED TO FIND PEOPLE SAYING THEY ARE STILL INVESTING IN HRRN.
I would love to see these scum-bags go to jail.
SO SAYETH VTOPA
jack of all trades...master of none = stock price in the toilet.
I wonder if WEO wrote the article? LOL
What an absolute JOKE. Some people have no shame...
Whatever happened to WEO? LOL. Guess he got tired of pumping...
My patience long ago ran out...unfortunately, I am at a 50% loss on this stock and will just have to wait it out. I'm long...but not because I want to be...
Are you STILL saying that about the penny market? You sound like a broken record. You still have not justified your belief that the penny market is somehow going to make the big jump with any logic other than you "believe" it will...and even if it was, why would that mean that bztg specifically would jump? There are thousands of other penny stocks out there. Are you saying the whole penny market is going to move up in unision??? Smoke and mirrors. This stock is at half of what it was months ago and hasn't done squat.
Surreal.
Really!?!? Yay!! And they'll be fuly audited too, right? Don't worry, the market is "poised" to rise. Any minute now. Watch. Pennies are going to make a big break through SOON. RFLMAO!
OK, so what are they up to? Seems like you would want to get somethig out of Western US before focusing resources (if you even have any) in Canada....sounds like smoke and mirrors again to me. Pump Pump Pump. Show me a profit. Show me some gold. Show me some MINING.
That's just crazy talk man! LOL
I'm with you...I'm at 50% loss. grumble....
What a laugh...why don't you go back to the GLXI board...oh yeah, that's right...there isn't one anymore. Gimme a break.
New geologists report....was released today. It has a lot of fancy talk and mieralogical talk, but I wonder whether someone who frequents this baord knows what these guys are talking about. Is there anything that says they couldn't have lifted some of the language in the report from other reports filed by other companies to make it look like they are actually doing something out there. Even if the report is genuine (which is a stretch given the way that this company has acted in the past) can anyone tell me if "a 15-foot intercept in hole ORC-10 grading .360 ounces per ton gold and 3.57 ounces per ton silver" is good??????
Brilliant!!! :)
Sandbath??? Hahahahah...yeah, right.
Couldn't have said it better myself. There are some major pumpers on this board. Anyone who wonders if they are full of it only need go back a month, 2 months, 4 months back on this board. They were spewing out the same BS then as they are now...."PPS is going up real soon! Just watch! Its right around the corner! Financial will be here momentarily!" Blah blah blah....gimme a break.
