For the reasons mentioned above that includes CEO's treating loyal shareholders like winning the lottery, a money tree or printing press I have decided to write a book! It will focus on my personal investments in OTC stocks with focus on a select few companies. This story must be told in way that is captivating. I'm not suggesting $MINE and Scott Vanis fall into that category aforementioned, yet will be included in the book! I have been optimistic that Scott Vanis would be one of the exceptional CEO's and I would have a success story to give the book some contrast! My plan is to complete the book sometime in 2015, hopefully not 2016. I have to provide some time to get an indicator of the end state. I thought about a Part1 and 2, depends how this plays out! Oh and my grammar is not the best, I'll have a professional take care of that...
You might be wondering how I'm going to make this book popular. There are a ton of resources out there. I previously orchestrated putting an individual in front of a 25+ million international viewing audience on a major Network. It's not all that difficult if you have a product that captivates an audience! I will use similar tactics and resources to promote the book with the intent to convert it to a medium for TV and Cable yet to be determined. We've seen some investment type movies that typically popularize individuals and yet the shareholders story as a whole gets lost as usual in the weeds!
All of the CEO's that will be included are in control of the type of notoriety they acheive through their promises and actions! The type of legacy they leave behind, how much money is enough, do they say what they mean, do they do what they say! The back-end investment community (us) IMO is well concealed. It is the front-end, brands and such that gets all the media attention. I aim to break that mold and will attempt to make some CEO's famous for the tactics they use to run and grow their business behind the scenes, be it good or bad, it is up to them!
Funny thing is, what deterents have existed for CEO's in the OTC with this type of behavior! Is it people complaining on a well hidden message board or social media! Where shareholders walk away pissed off but take no action, have no recourse, rinse and repeat. What is the deterent for CEO's to continue this type of behavior! IMO it is the national media and public opinion, after the popularity is gained then legal entities will be more enticed to follow up and investigate where applicable! I often wonder if their families even know how they run their business and the financial losses they achieve for the loyal investors that help them grow their business!
Don't get me wrong, if I make a bad investment and both the company and I fail, that is on me! In contrast, my targets are the CEO's that growth their wealth while the rest of their "loyal shareholders" get screwed helping to build their personal wealth! They need to be famous for the tactics and strategies they use to gain personal wealth!
OK, now that I got all of that off my chest on to the $MINE share structure, that highly passionate topic! One thing I stand firm on and will continue to be very vocal about is that Scott Vanis execute the share buyback publically stated twice now! This promise "DOES NOT" include a Reverse Split! I've seen allot of threads on the R/S topic lately.
I bought into $MINE with the expectation that I would have no less than the amount of shares I own at any time and including when we move to the big board. I will not own any less shares when we move to the big board unless I decided to sell some which I have not done at this time.
I vehemently disagree with anyone that thinks a R/S is a good thing and IMO should not even be a discussion in regards to $MINE! I would expect this topic to be brought up by bashers, but not by $MINE'rs, boggles my mind! I don't buy into a R/S being a good thing in any way shape or form and including moving to the big board where it not called that but can have the same effect! I don't expect our CEO to be responsible for making me have less shares! Scott Vanis needs to be held accountable for the promised buyback which is the opposite of a R/S! I will continue to hold and / or invest in $MINE because of that promise. The buyback promise and commitment is paramount to me!
The Share Structure has begun to create a divide and much angst within the $MINE'rs community recently. The share buyback fixes this issue. We all realize that can't happen now, revenues first, but Scott Vanis has to deliver on this promise! I have every reason to believe he will deliver on the promise, let's see how the story ends!
The $MINE'rs must be paid back and rewarded for all their efforts and investments, that is accomplished via a share buyback. The $MINE'rs have been the Solid Rocket Boosters to launch Level 5's Space Shuttle and the personal wealth that Scott Vanis will receive along the way. We should be equally rewarded with the success of Scott Vanis! This is our company, right!
In closing, there is no doubt in my mind that Level 5 will be successful. Scott Vanis needs to do this responsibly and keep the share structure in tact, grow organically and execute the share buyback. He also needs to ensure that the shareholders have the lion's share of the ownership stake in the acquisitions of the companies that we are funding!
Go $MINE
4/29/2014... From Scott Vanis, our CEO from the Conference call....
when revenues allow and I think it will be allot sooner than people think, we plan to initiate an aggressive share buy-back program.

With respect to your concern over the increase in our A/S…
Once the increase in A/S is effective, a major block of it will be reserved for Preferred Shares (as per our Articles of Incorporation and our Bylaws). As we mentioned in a PR last week, we have made a lot of progress with negotiating and talking with potential endorsers for all of our Brands. While almost all of them are wanting shares in lieu of upfront cash (and more than a few have expressed an interest in a JV with Level 5 and Power Brands), we simply cannot further the talks until we actually have the currency with which to negotiate. We are much better off using our capital (cash on hand) to build our brands, rather than pay endorsers (especially when we can pay these potential endorsers in shares which gives them a vested interest in our Brands and our company’s stock price). With this increase in A/S, we can do BOTH. A share buyback is planned when we have revenues significant enough to do so responsibly.
