Great post, CAGLE10. Many here probably feel exactly the same way, myself included.

CAGLE10,

I could not agree with you more...I too have (in the past and present) been very critical of JF and his apparent views of "American" shareholders (still one of the dumbest statements I have ever heard from a CEO) and his ability to obtain and maintain an increasing share valuation.

It is my opinion, that with the bright future of GZFX that even facing dilution due to GGI conversions that the shareprice should still be seeing a steady rise in price. That is if the company were committed to attracting new investors to purchase shares of the company. This is One area that I believe the company has performed very badly in.

Some important questions that should be addressed to attract buyers...(the webcast is a good start, and let us all pray that CC mentions the rollout in their update)....

(1) Why are PRs no longer picked up by E-Trade?

The last PR to be posted by E-trade for GZFX was on MAR 13th announcing the wallst net interview.

(2) Why do we not have more frequent communications to the shareholders from our CEO?

Letters to the shareholders announcing future plans for growth and establishing timelines for growth are a great way to attract new investors. JF has to sell the companies vision for growth and development.

(3) Does GZFX have any plans to hire a good, highly respected investment relations and PR firm? One that could proof read would be a good start also.

(4) When do we get an update on the AAFES status?

Any statement regarding how this is moving forward and a suggested time for completion would be well received by the investment community (IMO)....and should attract new investors to buy shares.

Let's face it, the shareprice is still a gift, and the company needs to make sure that new investors are aware of just how much potential this company has.....thus far, they have failed....in my humble opinion.

CAGLE10: Good Post with Good Points, I too was pondering it all late last night since i had friday off, as i checked around on the web at other online rental companys and our standings amongst them it dawned on me that "IF" JF had went with a national retail chain to begin with "Like Netflix Did" instead of grabbing the bull by the horns and spending all that money and time making his own comercials and advertising yada yada that things could have been different for it would have given him more time with the core buisness instead of all the hollywood stuff.All these other projects he's got going now to me looks like more opportunitys for JF to Screw up, Yeah the increase in future sub-growth looks as bright as its ever looked but Damn Amighty "WE sharholders" have been given a permanent shaft in the Gazoo in the process.
Below is just one of the many sites that dont cast a good light on us and has out of date info to boot, is it up to us to contact all of them and update them on our progress? our new DC's?........I dont think so But i do try to anyway cause wailing here aint gonna help for squat even if it does make a fella feel a little better. Good Luck to us

Cagle10-My sentiments almost to a tee. The only difference is that you have been here much longer than I. I used to love biotech stocks but more times than I care to remember I got burned by those CEO's, the biggerst difference is that they had basically nothing but theories and fluff pr's to show after I supported their extravagant butts for several years. Now for my ramblings(LOL). This is not in defense of Mr. Fleming, just something for people to think about;
As I look at the movies I have sitting in front of me from GZFX, it something I can touch, watch, and return for more to watch. It tells me as a member that Mr. Fleming and Mr. Gallient and doing their job. The investor side of me still believes that they are an emerging company with a great future ahead of them. I like the fact that they are not feeding the investors fluff after fluff pr's in an effort to keep the investors (that we all read about here and everywhere) happy. I can only reflect on the fact that we all learn from our mistakes and life goes on. GZFX has the experience of Mr. Schoonover to call on (from his Bestbuy/NFLX days)as he did this once and he'll do it again. I can't picture CC's new CEO (Schoonover) pushing the rollout to his company and starting it. They placed him in charge to make their company profits, and I don't see him messing his track record up, not with all the resources available to him (DD wise, legal safegaurds, etc.). As for Mr. Fleming, if nothing else he is human. Humans by nature are a bit "greedy". He holds 125M+ shares, now would he rather them be worth $1,250,000.00@.01pps or $125,000,000.00@$1.00pps? I am thinking that the "greedy" side of his makeup (as everyone say he is) would choose the latter (which is what everyone says he isn't pushing for). Know what I mean? Remember, I'm agreeing with your post-Been There,Done That,Didn't Like It Much". Is all I am saying in my rendition of my ramblings is like what Reb said last night, he's not saying or doing what everyone wants to hear or wants him to do. He might be a little "rough" on the edges as goes his people pleasing skills, but I am figuring(and hoping) that he has honed up on his business skills and is keeping everything moving at a brisk pace, on schedule, and keeping abreast of an industry that changes almost daily it seems. The only other thing that keeps coming to mind (actually there is much more) is that I bought my house ten years ago at 65K, just had it appraissed at 229K, I have friends in Detroit who work on an assembly line making 60K a year + their overtime. The almighty buck doesn't have the clout it used, inflation, etc.,etc.,etc. I don't think managements salaries are that out of line with what they have taken on for a career. They started it, are building it up, invested their (I know, and ours) money in it and are paving the way for us to get our rewards. Of all the places to read the critiques of expert entrepanneurs this is the last place I would think you might find them and their expertise. As GZFX hopefully makes strides forward and peoples profits soar they will "grow and learn" and like GZFX will, move to the big boards like NFLX, BBV,CC, and the rest.I read about the "riches" that many feel they deserve "overnight, a month, 6 months" from what is one of the riskiest stocks there is-a PENNY STOCK. I know, I am here too, but as I have said over and over, and will once again, to quote Buffet "Wealth is the transferance of money from the impatient to the patient". Unfortunately people that are here need that patience IMHO. It is the one virtue I wasn't born with and have had to learn here,LOL. So to draw my therapy essay(LOL) to a close, I guess IMHO once again, I think there are many things happening and moving forward that we don't know about yet and will soon. GLTA...

CAGLE10, great post and my sentiments exactly.
I am probably the biggest investor here but not the biggest share holder. A newbie when I got involved with this stock and was a great believer of JF after communications with him, that's why I hocked the farm. But, everything has seemed to change. I hope he has the BALLS to do the right thing and stop any more dilution and concentrate on the real business of being the best online DVD and game rental service.
