itsallinthemix, i just started posting here a week ago - because i didn't even know this place existed. maybe people here, don't know equitygroups exist either. btw, i use a different id on eg.
i don't think ebbtide is far from the truth. i have spoken with peter and john. i don't think they would give up many specifics, but if you just listen, sometimes they give you something interesting. my favorite is the fact they are currently working for free. and they'll tell you, why would they work for free, unless they think they can turn this thing around - and turn it around big time.
then there are the others - like brad and messenger (from eg), that seem to get more of the specifics??? and if you talk to brad, and just listen, you learn a lot more.
bottomline, imo, ebbtide is not far from the truth. this is either an extremely elaborate scam, or we're going to make a ton of money. the scam possibility can't be ignored, based on past history, but imo, the likelihood this is a scam is extremely low - less than 10%. i would say it was less than 1%, except for the company's history.
and the best news for us newbies, is we didn't have to pay 1.90, and we don't have to wait much longer - 29 days until the meeting - i'll be there.
