I can only assume yaacov believed everything
he's said at the time he said it and dug himself a hole he's building a ladder to climb out of. Made agreements 'in good faith' sort of neons out at me from the shareholders' letter. I think the company has learned some very hard lessons and I'm sticking around because I think those lessons have been put to good use and the ladder is forming as we speak.
I'm with you, yaacov. Orangeman, I know I sound like a dumb cheerleader type and I'm really only barely hanging by the noose at this point. I just can't see how a fellow gets a good idea, builds a production line, strikes out into the world market, and then F's up so bad. UNLESS, he really did a Pinochio and fell in with a bad crowd. I do think the wooden puppet will become a living soul here.
Woody.
Sadly, Orangeman, I've been in several
And this is the last one that has been able to string me through the cycle to it's final conclusion, 'wait till Q2.'
Woody.
And thanks for the pinky CEO school course load. I think The Silver Tongue award is given to the CEO who fleeces the greatest number in the least amount of time.
The French.
Let's concentrate on the French. What's up with the French. Anybody heard anything. ANYTHING?
Woody, playing rope a dope

I feel better. eom
Ya, and I've got a bid in for 75K at .001
This is silly. A couple of cokes to feel good.
I could possibly add down here as this is a real investment and these are realistic pullbacks worthy of adding to a position. This is quite OK. Nothing out of the ordinary here with price movement of PPS.
I'm not selling a share.
Broke the uptrend line on the chart.
Not good at all.
Richie, just a thought after reading the last two days.
The political mood in France is certainly more pro Israel for the first time in a long time (decades).
Another thought!
Alliance probably ran into the Israeli system and backed out because of all the red tape. Socialist bureaucrates run everything and get tenure after a year on the job in many departments. Taxes and fudging on them is a major industry. Yaacov might be thinking of moving the factory? Just a thought.
Woody, frustrated himself after having to go to the DMV (department of motor vehicles) four times to finally get one of the girls to huff and puff and issue my vehicle title. Nobody in this country knows how to stand in a line or drive between the lines. It's everyone for himself. Confusion reigns. Many of you have no idea the struggle a company has with government whim over here.
I agree. Walking the price down like this
makes no sense at all. I think Yaacov gave a small insight into some problems in the letter to shareholders when he said the company entered into agreements with others 'in good faith' and that the company has learned some very hard lessons about breaking into markets. You can't trust everybody and just because you build it does not mean they will come. I think yaacov has had some very difficult times and when he was positive with us he really thought he might have a break through just to see it melt away because of unhealthy alliances (that was bad). Looking back at the PRs I must say that they would not be fluff if not accompanied by forward looking specs that over a period of time never happened and erroded confidence. I'm hoping that the future holds these lessons to be self instructive and the result being a wiser, more compelling company.
Woody.
Would indeed, Johnnyvits, and I'm counting.
Like I said, I'll call the Israeli commission about the Russians tomorrow. They are the ones that set up the meeting with Yaacov. Could be interesting.
Woody.
Ps. I've never been to the plant. Tried. Even drove around the address of the office but didn't see any Identa signs or sign of Identa. I don't think they would advertise in Israel for security reasons.
Tsafi, as you know, you have to go several
times to government offices before you actually get service. Do you think it is any different with a product made in Israel? Open a bank account, go to the DMV, get a marriage license, or any other official thing and it takes three visits at least. I can wonder how Yaacov even manages with taxes and run-arounds much less sees Russian bussiness people in Tel Aviv. Who has time? I'm amazed that's he's gotten this far!!! And that he has makes me a believer. No one gets this far in Israel that they don't pay and pay dearly. My hat off to Yaacov.
Woody.
Ya, I do. Me and my pregnant wife of 7 months. Every woman in Israel is pregnant, it seems.
If that's true (and I think that has merit)
then Alliance will not let this opportunity pass them by at some juncture in the future. The product is good and I know Yaacov is still working on making new contacts.
Woody.
I'm feeling very philanthropic, thanks big O, eom.
Public reply to myself wondering about Yaacov.
I think he's gone into a world all his own and is only interested in protecting the people close to him. I do think the price of the stock will go up but he's preparing to reward HIS people first and make sure that they get theirs before he let's the world have a piece of the 'good pie.' I just looked at all the countries that have been added and all the activity and hubbub surrounding the Russian visit and I get the feeling that we don't know Jack about this product anymore.
There is something I can follow up on. The Russian troup that was here was brought by an Israeli commission to promote trade. They would answer my questions about the visit. I'll call them tomorrow and see what they say.
Woody. I belive. Be positive. I used to love the color pink.
Good post, Parwatti.
This is a long play and should be viewed that way. Nice place to add. I did, modestly (120,000).
Woody.
Well, Orangeman, after you've gotten me to
pull out of my pinks (going back into the closet) I guess I should also start a philanthropic pursuit and support a benefit to all us shareholders.....Ihub. I'm thinking about it.
woody.
By the way, Orangeman,
I took your advice and dumped my pinks (except for Identa, hehheh) took my profit and ran to the AMEX. and a few gold plays which I've been in forever.
My wife agreed with you and so it's a two against one, hehheh.
And I'll keep a positive attitude through 2Q and remember why I bought Identa in the first place. I like the product and Yaacov is an Israeli (they have nine lives and land on their feet when dropped) and I live in Jerusalem.
Woody.
thanks Orangeman3,
I really must get off this ride. I see the downward spiral and Identa is a horrible testimony to the other horrible possibilities out there. I'm reading some horror stories developing on other boards, nubv being a recent crash and burn. I see little dreams smashed and squished with bleak postings wondering what's happened and what's going on. I think today I'll stop and pull the plug on my own foolishness.
Thanks, Orangeman.
Woody. without a rope and a hope.
Hey, there are different icons but I have yet to find out where to find out what they all mean. Good idea Johnnyvits.
Woody. I'd like an icon that could smell out BS and save me from making stupid mistakes and bad decisions based on my basic gullibility.
New icons have to do with paying or free
account on Ihub
and whether you can respond p/m to them or not.
Chart looks fantastic. We'll do fine, cj. eom
Thanks so much, Greenteam.
Since i'm in Jerusalem it's hard for me to do a lot of ground work in the States. Much appreciated when someone calls and talks directly to the company. Thanks for sharing.
Woody.
Richie, have you seen any of the Identa
product? Has anyone actually seen or tested it? I'm just curious.
Also, the great silence from Israel is foreboding. I doubt he's pouting over shareholder angst. Something's up and it doesn't bode well for shareholder, in my opinion. Mind you, my opinion isn't worthy much anymore and it's going down daily. Hope this is a bottom for my opinion and it starts to rise a bit. So discouraging.
Woody.
.025 with 5.3 million shares traded at close.
Put in a small sell order to see if anything would bite
at .0011. Nothing. Not even a buyer waiting to be suckered. Interesting.
Woody.
Best get this before news. Good price today.
I'm with you and buying.
Love that gold and silver are moving in our direction.
Woody.
Says that these are the next two holes.
It didn't say that this was the second drill phase. Could this be from the first phase and just held out because they know they are higher grades. We have only six holes back. I'm sure there were like 60 or more, or I thought there were between the two phases of drilling. We have only six. Four the first time and two now. Are these from the second phase, these last two? I'm just asking if more is coming. The results are fabulous.
Woody.
I'm there. Will write and ask.
It's very hard to imagine what in the world could be happening back at headquarters? I think an appropriate question is 'when' is 2Q? Is it in April or June? That would give us a start.
Woody.
Good price to pick up a few thou right now.
I think people are looking for the next PR
and there is a lot of money on the sidelines waiting.
We're about to enter the
death rattle phase of Identa. .001 and below. If I were the CEO, and worked this hard, I'd be a bit embarassed. The chart tells the whole story pretty much. I've seen charts like this where news sparks a tremendous up turn and brings investors out of the shrubs. Could happen but I do hear death rattles.
Woody.
Richie, he doesn't sleep.
'Yaacov must sleep in his chair and in the car to keep up with all these purported new sales'
But I laughed out loud at the image
Thanks.
hey, that one million share bundle keeps showing up right on schedule every day. What is that thing? There are UFOs (I understand those) but these USTs (unidentified stock trades) are mystifying. And they are anchoring the price at .0012
Woody with your daily meaningless observation.
Parwatti, I can learn a lot.
It's not easy to make money in these Pinkies. And most get sucked in without doing a lot of DD, if any at all. To find a good company is very difficult BUT to trade a good company is even more difficult. Investors are still stuck in the 'long term' mind set. I'm one of those. I'm learning and making money is the name of this game. PERIOD.
Woody.
Salute to you.
Good morning cj in America. Let's ROCK.
Richie, it sounds like
Yaacov has 2008 sales goals. I don't see that it refers to any past sales. And we know that 2Q is our moment to shine.
Woody. Just Guessing, not even an opinion at this point.
Simply nothing goes straight up. Taking a breather
before the next PR.
It's good to get these little rests.
Woody.
