Howard, Paul, Lamar & All: Let me tell you where I'm coming from.
First, I've looked at about 200 bb's and have invested in five of them
Second, I offered a suggestion of an bb issue TSIG with links to a ton of DD. I said take a look at it Tim, review it and make your own decision.
Third, I've worked as a consultant for a Venture Capital firm. I view investing in bb firms as being a venture capitalist. High risks and high rewards.
Now let me tell you how the office I worked in operated. Every month this office got about 40 to 60 proposals. Out of about 500 proposals received during the year, this firm chooses one or two to work on and then tries to lines up investors to invest.
In evaluating a proposal, you have to access the idea first and ask a lot of questions like how does this idea distinguish itself from similar ideas, what is the need for this idea, how can this idea be realized, how much capital is required to get up and running, and then most importantly what is the rate of return?
Now you don't have 10sb or 10q or any reported information. How can you? For you don't even have a company yet. You review various scenarios and risks, and then determine whether or not to proceed.
Then, you take this great idea with all the numbers you've generated and determine how best to finance it. Financing means lining up investors
Preferably when lining up an investor, the firm tries to get one large investor. If this fails, then the firm tries to get 3 or 4 to put in lessor amounts.
One project I worked on took the idea and made a presentation to a potential investor, this investor liked the idea so much Wayne, as in Huezega (sp?), decided to do it himself.
And there's the rub, the person who generated the idea got squat. Thus many companies have decided to get up and running avoiding venture capitalists altogether. Going public quickly via pink sheets generates necessary capital without giving up directing authority or financial interests to blood sucking lecherous vc's like myself.
Getting up and running quickly with internet companies, that may not necessarily require a lot of start-up capital, has fostered a lot of interesting investment opportunities in what too many to quickly scorn as a scam investment arena.
Now regarding mm's, don't even start to believe that Nasdaq listed issues are immune from the same games that occur on bb boards. Now the SEC has purportedly cracked down on Nasdaq manipulation but it still occurs frequently.
Below are some mm's and their infractions on Nasdaq listed listed companies.
So in summation I offered a tip on a company TSIG that I've done a lot of due diligence on and think it is an incredible opportunity. I provided a "one stop" link to a very good source of dd on the company.
You can read it, or you can bantered about with your high minded (though IMO somewhat naive investment skills) dissertations and chose not to read the information, that is your prerogative. I will not suggest TSIG again on this thread.
Well, anyway that's it.
Sincerely,
ztect
