I sincerely appologize if I come across as overly bitter toward Alan. My REAL anger is in fact against the "Naked Short Cartel" who is gutting these pennystocks, and as each year passes, it certainly appears to me it is getting worse.
Now, I'm not cutting Alan any slack here, because I believe had he been a lot MORE up to speed on some credible followup of his PR's ... it would have gone a long way in slowing the shorting problem down.
Alan is going to pay dividends. I bought shares on that PR.
Alan is going to sic his lawers on the shorts, and by trademarketing ETMO shares, he would kill the shorts.
So ... what happened to the dividends? What happened to the trademark issue? Silence, silence, or more silence. I don't operate by email, Alan. I operate by PR's. So I sold most of those shares.
Uhh ... "I offered to pay my helpmates with restricted shares, but they refused cold hard cash and wanted shares."
Man did that sound good to me. I bought MORE shares. Then I find out shares were being dumped like a pigeon with diarrea. That is about all it took for me.
Well ... The Made In America PR and the order for Sandcars from someone, somewhere overseas ... yet silence since.
I can keep going, but SURELY I'll be taken by some as a basher. Give me a break. What is there to BASH with this company NOW? Alan does a fantastic job of bashing his own company without MY help.
Sure, when XTMS got nailed by the shorts as it was flying near $.06 ... that had to drive a nail through Alan's heart. It would have mine. Tell ME why the "cartel" wouldn't let the stock keep climbing when it had that momentum? It could easily have hit $.20 or $.50 or higher. Yet someone took it down so fast it made my head spin. I wasn't in the stock then, but it was obvious to me watching it what was REALLY happening.
Now .. if Alan and Clan was selling shares like mad bandits at the time - sure; then I can see why it got shorted so hard.
But I still go back to my original theory, which of course I'll never be able to prove. Alan torked off the "cartel", and evidently felt that if he sounded like a tough enough guy, maybe they would fold. My gut feeling was that he was only asking for the bullies to get stronger and MORE of them.
Correct me if I'm blowing in the breeze, folks, but when the FED simply turns their eyes from this naked shorting gone absolutely insane, and NOT in your and my favor, that tells me the "cartel" can do any damned thing they well please and they KNOW it, and do NOT have to worry at all about the FED's punishing them.
The whole thing makes me mad as all get out, as I'm sure it makes Alan much more so. It would make ANY CEO in Alan's shoes raging mad, no doubt. BUT ... if these pennystock CEO's don't STOP issuing bazillions of shares as extra pocket money -- or simply as their ONLY "business" ... what should we expect I guess.
Sometimes I get really weird in the head and think maybe, just maybe, this IS the FED's way -- it IS the SEC's way of letting this thing play out and ultimately solve itself. Let these pennystock companies keep playing their dilution casino game, and the "bigboys" will make profit from their scamming until enough retail investors simply stop investing money in them.
Maybe, I wonder or think ... that is the end game plan in all this thievery and cover-up going on.
So ... I go back to my last post. ALAN ... the ONLY hope you have that I see is that you're going to have to get sqeaky clean, and do some friggin credible followup when you issue a PR.
It appears you might be wising up with today's PR. You didn't promise ANYTHING, or even throw out any false hope. Now that's a great start IMO. Keep up the great course change. It certainly can't hurt anything at this point IMO.
