Bingo -- I found HDOG! Details inside...
Well, I just found out is behing HDOG today. I got lucky, it only took me 2 phone calls. This morning I called one of their marker makers, "Wein Securities Corp" in New Jersey at: 201-216-0100. I
tried to get the guy to tell me who was behind the company, but he wouldn't However, he did give me the name of the Transfer Agent. They are "Corporate Stock Transfer" out of Denver, CO.
Their phone number is: 303-595-3300.
According to them, the official outstanding shares as of this morning are: 379,334,405. I then asked if they had a contact name or phone number for the actual company behind HDOG. Here is
what she gave me:
American Club Systems, Inc.
233 12th St., #333
Columbus, Georgia 31901
706-322-0808
Contact name: Mr. Lee Lanktree

I placed a call this morning and left a message, but he didn't get back to me. When I called later, he had left for the day. Hopefully he'll call me tomorrow.
They also have an office in Phoenix, Alabama. I was told by a Peter Diskin, the Assistant Securities Commissioner in Georgia that when a company does business in Georgia, they need an
agent. It has something to do with being a process server of records, maybe a liason between the company and the State of Georgia. In addition, he happens to be the CEO of "American Club
Services, Inc."
I asked Peter Diskin about this company, and if they had anything on HDOG. They did. He said they filed to do business in Georgia, and have just paid their 1999 business fee. He did not know
if they were a shell. He said there are a lot factors involved when a company owns a shell. He said if they were just a couple of ex-shareholders of the ex-HDOG and were just trying to dump the
shares they had accumulated with the ex-HDOG company, that would be illegal. However, if this company were using this money to further their own business, i.e., to raise capital, then it most
likely is not illegal. He said he would have to research this further to determine exactly what kind of business they have.
So, that's it for now. There is a chance they are operating HDOG illegally, however, there is probably a better chance they are not, because there are actually two branches of this company. This
doesn't sound like a couple of ex-shareholders trying to dump shares. Anyway, we'll see what happens.
By the way, if some of you want to call Mr. Lanktree tomorrow, please be my guest! It doesn't matter who gets through to him, as long as someone gets through. Just make sure you ask all the
questions that need to be asked, such as; exactly what kind of business are they in?; Is there any kind of product at all associated directly with HDOG, or is this a shell company?; If a shell, what
are they using the proceeds for?
Also mention that according to the SEC, the symbol "HDOG" was incorporated in Cape Coral, Florida in 1987, and in the State of Delaware in 1990. However, according to the SEC, they have
no current registration papers of any kind on HDOG, which means they went out of business.
Ask Mr. Langtree how they came about finding "HDOG" to use to trade shares. Ask them how big is the float. How many shares do insiders hold? Are there any restricted shares?
If we can get an idea of these numbers, we can figure out exactly how big the public float is. He may know off hand, but if not, get the other numbers.
Anyway, if I think of more questions, I'll just ask him when he calls back.
Thanks for taking the time to read this. How about that, the mystery's over! Yeeee Haaaaa! LOL.
