First, Brady, I have not lost it.
Your last posts has enabled me to completely understand why you feel the way you do, why you feel so hurt. So let's take the time to examine how you came to the conclusion(s) you have.
You're making a claim Zulu is a scam, pump and dump operation, etc. OK. Now this is a widely and heralded term which is tossed freely about the Internet. So this being the case, there's gotta be hundreds of examples of pumps and dumps.
So can you name to yourself five such operations? If you're going to call Zulu one, then you must know what one looks like. Seems reasonable, doesn't it? OK.
Now, once you've analyzed your five pumps and dumps, as the following questions and draw the following comparatives:
1) Did any of those five by scam companies purchase leading entities, like SIM was when it was market leader to Doubleclick in '96 and early '98?
2) Did any of those five scam companies present a new technology and have an in at a place as prestigious as the New York Yacht Club? Why'd this happen? Obviously, in an effort to set the table for funding--not a stock play, mind you. This was not a major press release--the evidence comes from an opinion columnist.
3) Did any of those five scam companies hire exeuctive leadership from the likes of BMW, Disney/Pixar, Texas Instruments/Acer Corp., AOL, Barnes & Noble, Hodes Advertising, etc. Why? Individuals with backgrounds like these are career-minded, are they not? And a Disney source was tapped as recently as a month ago.
4) Did any of those five scam companies have a multinational giant corporation involved in ownership, i.e., Softbank Holding Company-Japan? Why? Probably for the same reason this company owned a part of Yahoo and other upstarts whose particular names I can't right now recall.
5) Did any of those five scam companies deliver products on behalf of bluechip clients? Why? Well, both echo and SIM had the best of clients, the most noteworthy of them right now being AOL. Because contracts have expired and the company has completely retooled doesn't mean those clients can't come back on board once reorganization is finished. Does it?
6) Did any of those five scam companies file anything with the company name in it before the SEC. The number of SEC-related documents with Zulu's name in them are mounting and several of them are very volumous. How come?
7) Did any of those five scam companies really try hard to get onto Nasdaq? Why is Zulu continuing this path?
8) Were any of those five scam companies beneficiaries of private placement money? Why? Well, Zulu has already the first million of up to 20 million announced in an SEC filing.
9) Did any of those five scam companies go out and buy--however way--a 35 million dollar company like brandsforless?
10) The questions I've forgotten to include.
I don't know Brady. Historically, this has been a very tough luck investment. But remember, everything you've been through so have I. In fact, it's been worse for me. I've held Zulu for every day for more than year, except that one week window in which it popped to $1.50, and I missed out. So I never had the benefit of that pop! Should I blame this on Hayton? Of course not!
The bottom line is this company is trying to become a viable entity on multiple Internet fronts. In the course of doing this it has brought and is melding together nearly a dozen separate entities into one business plan. Simultaneously, its trying to cut debt, much of which was inherited from those entities. All of this, plus relocation and consolidation, laying off employees, ceasing unsuccessful operations and instituting a completely new focus, is not easily accomplished in the space of one year.
Finally, whinning about the bad results from a massive understaking, and accusing others or telling them they're not who they say they are, questioning their motives, making unfair assumptions about what might happen, etc. is not, I don't think, a proper remedy. Patience and understanding is a better one. For example, I bet you still do not have a particularly good or accurate answer as to why all the negative non-shareholder posters are present on these threads.
But your last post, for me, brought out the pain and agony of what you've been through. But remember, don't forget this: I've been through it too! Making me your Zulu enemy isn't going to help either your own well-being, your own investment or my own good vibrations. Indeed, if anyone deserves a win in this, it's the folks who had the foresight to get behind this venture early on. That includes you; that includes me. Good luck to both of us, and to others too. |
