C.M. Welcome back. I is always nice to see fresh meat that I can respond to.
Have you wondered why there have only been two posts (including yours) since mid day yesterday?
It's because, for the life of them, they can't understand why anyone with Breams top level executive credentials would want to take over this "sinking ship". But the real reason they have gotten quiet is because they have started to figure out who Frank Musolino really is, other then a very large real estate investor. And why would he put in over two million dollars hard cash for restricted stock, AFTER THE TRADING HALT WAS ANNOUNCED.
I could post a direct link to another company that he helped in its formative stages as an "early angel", but I want to see if any of the "investigators" on this board have the integrity to post something other then "negative spin" on NCDR.
I gave a very good hint as to where they could start looking yesterday. Here is a futher hint this morning. A copy and post of section of an S-1 filed in April 1998 is posted below. He was the largest benefactor of what most here would consider a "stock dump". I suspect that the shareholders of this stock today are very glad that he was dumb enough to put money in this company that lost $24 million over the last year and only has a $2.54 per share book value. (To date, he has never sold a share of this Company)

The recipients in such transaction represented their intention to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof, and appropriate legends were affixed to the share certificates and instruments issued in such transactions. All recipients had adequate access, through their relationships with the Registrant and the Predecessor, to information about the Registrant and the Predecessor.
Sure looks like one or more of these recipients got a whole lot of stock cheap in this one doesn't it. Want to guess where this stock is trading today after a split?
Here are a couple of questions for the "stock detectives" on this board. What is Franks cost base in this stock, and what is his stock worth today? |
