Unfortunately, we have discussed parts of this before and for some reason I havnt explained it correctly. I think this is one of those things that are best learned going through it. I think that even though you will make money on this you will still be disgruntled and complain because your expectations are based on a lack of understanding of how this sort of thing works. Seeing a 500% ROI on this is not going to happen unless its over time and everything goes well throughout the years following the merger (think AMZN, GOOG, AAPL,NFLX etc - it takes time to gain that type of value)

Also, if the company wanted everyone to know what was going on with a potential merger they would have made an announcement. Like most companies going through a sale or merger they have chosen not to release the information for what I am assuming are many reasons. You say you are interested in supporting the company but what happens if this new vehicle becomes tainted because shareholders who do not understand what is going on decide to be spiteful and tank this new company? Its clearly vulnerable right now which is why guys like me and Gordo advocated for a R/S a while ago- it reduced corp exposure and eliminated this issue. We saw this coming and saw this exposure. Thats experience and inexperience on the company part. Of course when that happens shareholders like yourself will just fall back on "I told you so" and "I knew it". Problem with that is we all lose including those complaining (I would rather be wrong and make a serious ROI than brag about being right about losing money). How is that helping the company or even ourselves? This is also why guys like Gordo have requested for me to stop posting-because they see me saying too much and sharing with the wrong people. You can reply with whatever you want (Alex is evil, this is all his fault, maybe if they were more transparent, etc) but the bottom line is that traders dont give a shit about long term strategies and people holding as an actual investment lose.

Blaming and complaining NEVER brings a solution to a problem. Thats a fact and one that I would hope you embrace because if you are looking to help it might be better to focus on solutions than complaining about problems most of which are not constructive or even accurate, ie, "CEO is evil", "he spent shareholders money buying fancy houses" or "company is dumping UATG shareholders" - CEO is not evil, he is an idiot for letting half this shit happen and too idealistic for thinking he could fix this with his high and mighty way. Anyone who did more than two minute google search could see that the CEO has had significant assets well before he was the CEO of this company most of which was in real estate (I am assuming his own money is what kept this company afloat during the debacle with the crooks before - show me where he even took a salary for the 4 or five years or when he has made over $10K in any given year following? I cant find it on any of the filings). Anyone who assumes that a merger with a new company means shareholders get dumped clearly doesn't understand M&A.

My point is that much of what is said on these boards is completely inaccurate and mostly assumptions by individuals that not only dont understand but hate the company/CEO because of what they dont know. Remember, its not what you know that hurts you its what you dont know.
Sharing information like I have shared with you can be used by people who have bad intentions. Way too many examples to site to prove that.

Everything said, I dont blame you I blame the company. If they are in fact doing a merger and traders come in to drag the new company down, then we will be set back years and it would have cost the company (and shareholders) hundreds of thousands of dollars if not more (and thats if it doesnt tank the whole company and we lose all of our investment because of day traders shorting). The management of this company just pulled a big amateur move and it could cost all of us. You would think that all these military and government people would know how to keep things under wraps better. AMATEURS! If they werent going to a R/S a year ago and they knew they were doing a merger (which of course they had to because this has obviously been planned for a long time) they should have formed a separate company in a non-disclosing state like WY and dropped their assets into the new company at the last minute! Unless of course they accounted for all this which I would be surprised about.

My guess is that if this ticker starts dropping, a light bulb will go off in managements head and they will just abandon the new company and we will be right back to where we started. At that point what other choice does management have other than to do a R/S and start over with a new cap structure? Especially after going through 6-7 figures for no damn reason!

Of course I could be wrong and they could have some big announcements lined up according to some big plan that would render my argument moot but that would surprise me because my way would still have been better. JMO
