Not a bad day today at all...for the first time in a couple of weeks we finished with the buyers fully in control. I'm not going to speculate on the price movement for the upcoming trading days. All I'm going to say is that this is going to be a very important week. We're expecting the PPV numbers this week...My personal expectations on those numbers are not very high. Not because the event was no good but, because the brand has not received the exposure needed to deliver blockbuster UFC style PPV numbers. Which, I get the impression that is what people are expecting. The only way that goal can be obtained is through more events, more advertising, and more PPV's. Therefore, I am not going to run for the doors if the numbers aren't quite stellar. Honestly, they mean nothing to me at this point. 6 months from now and no steadily increasing PPV numbers then I may reevaluate my opinion. But, for now I am relishing the fact that I have a very large position that I intend to increase substantially in the next several days in a great company that is breaking into the fastest growing sport in the nation. What more could a speculative investor ask for? I don't intend to run for the door until I have unimaginable profit that I would be stupid to squander or, I see or sense that the company is beginning to fall apart. Personally I believe I will make my exit on the former rather than the latter. Even then, I plan on leaving a fair amount on the table in order to continue to gain from the growth of this company. There is just too much going on with this stock to even consider leaving now or anytime in the near future. The several more PPV's this year, the video game, the deal with Titan, DVD and merchandise sales, newer and bigger sponsors, the Mark Cuban factor, etc. etc...I could go on and on but, I think you get the point. Am I a pumper?? You bet!! I am absolutely pumped on this stock. No one has accused me of that but, I'm sure there are some who may believe it. If you are one of those who believe I'm a pumper you are entitled to your opinion. Just as I am to mine. My only goal is to try and point out things that might not be as obvious at first glance as the pps. I believe I have been very objective in my opinions on this stock. I try and point out the negatives as well as the positives. I just want to put the 'negatives' in perspective and portray them as just a small part of the bigger picture. Which, is that this is a brand new company taking it's baby steps and testing the waters. We've all seen the PPV or maybe even attended a live event. I think it's reasonable to assume that if you enjoyed the event/s so did others. You will purchase the next PPV or attend the event and so will they. That's exposure and that's what is gonna make this stock fly. I want whoever reads my posts to say 'hey I didn't think about that' I want you to feel better about your decision to invest in this company and I want you to make money! That is the name of the game isn't it? I can't wait for the day that we can discuss how much bank we made on this board instead of griping about the pps. Just for the record, griping isn't the same as bashing..selling your shares because you are not comfortable with the pps is not bashing either. I just don't want those who have expressed displeasure with the pps or let us know that they sold their positions to be accused of bashing. By me or anyone else. We are all in different financial situations and we have to make decisions that are best for our own individual needs. Anyway, sorry if I digressed a little there. The point is, I'm still in big and intend on getting bigger. I still am solidly behind the company and it's management. I just want people to think twice before hitting the sell button on bad days which, I'm sure there will be more of. I don't think they will be as bad as the last couple of weeks but, I have to expect them. Days like today, as unspectacular as it was, still rekindles the fire I have in this company, re-centers me and reminds me why I'm in this stock.
