Hey Just quoting Jack, I think the posts like this need to keep coming. At first, most of the testosteroneians will see this as another blow to a Company already mired in speculation.

Au contraire, this is one more helping hand reaching out to make this Company appear as a Company. I voted for "Professionalism and a sense of Organization"; you Jack answered accordingly with a solemn fact, which this Company needs to address and report to the shareholders. Thanks.

Oh,
Scott Wheeler pointed out -
-That to benchmark the 3,200 GPGI shareholders against the New York Times subscriber base of 1,000,000 daily viewers would be a sure way of making the request for a REGULAR schedule of GPGI News Releases futile and silly.
GPGI People, this comparison of 3,200 GPGI focused individuals to over 1,000,000 generic people & what they crave to read is the silliest idea for basing your vote. I like Scott but he is totally wrong on what it takes to PRODUCE a newsletter on a REGULAR schedule, a feat that GPGI already does regularly at 14.65 days now. And I urge Scott to change his vote from NO to YES on "Professionalism and a sense of Organization". Let's take credit for GPGIs ability to produce a NR every 14.65 days and make it a "Commitment".
This commitment will STOP the "feeding frenzy" not create it.
We have done that already.

And "who is to blame" theory - Bob Walsh now says it is Mike McKay to take the blame. Ugh. Shifting the blame is not a sign of "Professionalism and a sense of Organization". Bob, I like you too but you are wrong on the "blame game". EVEN if it is true what you say we can NOT alter a basic Business Rule, "We don't kick the dog when Auntie Martha passes gas".

IS this true? ***GPGI = Official Web Site EMAIL is

Scott, you are the English major. Does the following pass or fail?
Does it project the image of success, professionalism and organization?
GPGIs Web Site Slogan (it uses the word 'BUT' 3 times - but what?):
"The story of this small Nevada based company is all but amazing. It's probably just another story of American Entrepreneurship, but it's also one that the financial community knows all but nothing about at present.".
Damn folks, we need to talk. We are running out of bullets. Who wants this stock to go up?

GPGI Web Site - I am two clicks away from Mike McKay and his last News Release OR a pdf file of the latest brochure. These 2 links are locked in a repelling force field. They contradict each other. This is not a sign of "Professionalism and a sense of Organization".
Damage Control:
I say "have the brochure for Direct Mailing only" and have the already photos of real PEOPLE pouring gold into huge buckets take it's place. Encourage users to surf the photos of real people pouring golden colored liquid into huge buckets. And along side of the photo have some great words from the CEO that reflect production without making false statements.
Right now the only cool looking icon representing "the first impression" is a fancy "EMAIL" icon where we know that the man behind the Email address, D. Noble, is ... where? Joe, Scott have you received any news back from your requests for information? All 2 of you?
I think Joe said he was cut short by someone who apparently needs to rehearse "the customer is always right, the customer is always right, the customer...."
The GPGI Web Site gets a D+ and gives anyone a headache if you stare at it long enough.
Try it!
globalplatinum.com see how long you stay interested in this homepage.

Jack Again...

Rainbow Communications (800) 444--4980 promises to help NASD OTC companies BB to become fully reporing in order to remain listed. "If your company lacks the legal and accounting skills necessary to comply with the new regulations, or the financial recources to pay for them, call Rainbow Communications--or your company may be bound to the Pink Sheets."

I am going to get this stock back to $3.25 with your help.
It's time to run a "Business".

GPGI Observations for the last 12 months:
1. Stock Chart for the last 12 months shows a gradual decline from approximately 1.00 to .16 cents.
2. Share Volume overall has been proportionally weak except for about 5 stretches that experienced a surge of activity.
3. No apparent commitment to deliver news releases with any certain degree of regularity during this period.

General Business Acumen:
· The CEO (Gates, Jobs, Dell, Jensen) of any public company is the person that takes full responsibility for the company.
· Public companies (PC) receive "pressure" from the shareholders to increase quarterly profits.
· All OTC Bulletin Board stocks are manipulated to one level or another (the 'house' always has the odds in their favor).
· Stocks that have close to zero volume/money for weeks before and after a few days of frantic volume that brings the stock price eventually down are being manipulated.
