POPT - another interpretation of the DD. Clearly Ari Bass is in the multiple ticker game as he currently has two that I can see. Knowing POPT is the longest inactive, it's more than logical to presume something is close to being done here.

Here's a little DD that highlights this ticker as a current shell and a candidate for a R/M sale. Last news on the co was late 2005. Very promising news but then they just disappeared right there:

>> Pop3 Media Corp Receives Deal Memo From Showtime
Deal Will License Film For Distribution Over Showtime's Various Networks
For Immediate Release
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif./EWORLDWIRE/Nov. 30, 2005 --- Pop3 Media Corp. (OTCBB: POPT) today announced that it has received a film licensing deal memo from Showtime Networks Inc.
"We firmly believe that we can provide high quality content to the cable, PTV, VOD and DVD markets, and that this deal with Showtime should be just one of many other deals Pop3 should obtain from a wide range of high end media companies in the coming weeks and months," said Pop3's President Ari Bass. "Pop3 intends to make itself one of the premier developers and producers of specialty films, made for cable or other mass market distribution methods, rather than attempting theatrical releases."
Pop3's strategy is to produce high quality films for specialty markets like Pay-TV(PTV), Video-On-Demand (VOD) and DVD. Pop3 intends to finance its productions with limited partnerships on a feature by feature basis, in an attempt to ensure that eventually, all of its own overhead is paid for by the partnerships and that there are no out of pocket expenses per film. The first of the partnerships is undergoing final legal review.
Bass further stated, "We believe that the rise in home theatre ownership and dropping in-theater sales coupled with the massive cost reductions made possible by not having to pay the enormous marketing costs associated with in-theater distribution, that we should be able to make high quality, highly targeted content at a profit."

Further, website is long gone and no searches produce anything more current than 2005. The owner Ari Bass also has another shell ticker MEDT (formerly SLVO - Silverado Financial, the still current official ticker name with StockCharts, while the actual active company name is Mediatechnics Corp, or MEDT) that he RM'd in another company in 2008. So this guy has a history of owning multiple shells and mixing and matching, looks like.





Bottom line - POPT is currently a shell ticker that most likely will be receiving a new R/M candidate next and most likely something in green energy as is what most of these are the trend (and his other ticker is the same). At the moment, POPT offers a fantastic chart play WITH ZERO DILUTION! (a la SMMT) given the Major Golden Cross that has just solidified - with major bags potential to the upside imvho.
