Jazzy you are right! In reading your earlier post, I doubt if anyone will challenge your it. However, many here put down the flippers and band together as longs in support of the company. Now there is a feeling, by many that our support, $$$, and belief in the company has been disregarded/abandoned, and thus rewarded, so far with an empty bag. Our discontent regarding the disappointments with the way things has gone so far, isn't meant to put down the the company or its BODS without reason.
Some people like to say that the longs, are flippers also, I'm not so sure that this truly, is 100% accurate. I'll speak for myself here , I boasted to many, mainly my wife,(by the way another bad choice) that this is a company that claim to be inclusive and transparent, a company that hope to become one to get on a higher level board. My wife and myself have been long term investors for many years, in companies(some start ups)that did what they said they would do. In other words we believed in the BODS, and MNTY, and based our investing, on the CC, and all of the reports, about plans, dates, retired shares, just to mention some. Maybe thats ok with some not to see the results that we expect. But for many who did support and finance the company, as share holders, feel slighted and down right screwed. Sure we could sell and take the lost, it wouldn't be the first time. But for me, I still want to believe and hope that this time,its a real company and that I haven't been lied to again, and that my money invested was worth it. One last thing, During the CC, Des apologized to previous investors in ECFL, for the way things went and how they were left hanging, and that this time things would different. So for some to say, that its ok to delute the PPS where it is now, certainly don't seem to be very different. Sure we can say we have a store, envogue, and yes it takes money to open stores and do everything, but where are the results? Its easy, just REPORT and assure us that there is an honest and reasonable answer to why the delution has gone this far, why were the retired shares never mentioned again, where do we stand with the SEC, why do we still have the rating "No info" with pink sheets, what about the o/s. Most turn key start up's don't require $250,000. If this is really the case, it seems like overkill! check it out if you don't believe me. No one don't seem to mention this, Maybe in hopes that this will be some kind of conglomerat company. By the way, some of the idle talk on this post disgust me, its as if money grows on tree's here, no matter how many times we're told to stick with stock dicussions, some choose to use the poat as a place to play games. There several forum boards to polk fun, tease, and play. We are getting get behind the BODS, and MNTY, to make money and share the wealth. But instead, it's like giving them a pass to screw us. JMHO
p.s. And Phill dear sir, no pun intended, and you certainly have been part of of the spark that brought many of us back together, and whatever your roll is here, I consider you to be a man of God, but having a monkey shooting a gun is scary!
