Financing to continue the dream comes back to bite us all in the butt, but without it, perhaps the show never would have gotten off the ground? I would guess to get past the license stage on the ones they have a lock on, to get to the final designs, to develop promotional materials, to hire some sales people, to get a CFO, to get manufacturing lined up -- took all the insiders disposable cash and a few personal loans. Then, huge interest not expected so soon and cries for "show me the product" soon arose. How do you get a million bucks when your share price is in the toilet and your personal credit is tapped? Vinnie's pawn shop. That explains all the negatives. The positives -- new branding concept in an area never before, lots of positive interest by not only those in the industry but the population at large, diversity into pet areas, Vatican side covers a few people in the world with very tasteful choices they did not have before while sports areas covers the blue collar people and avid fans with something they might really like, precious moments fills a children's need ignored too long, insiders know how important getting revenues rolling in and are moving in that direction in haste. So far, everyone in the stock sees nothing but the negatives. This has allowed those seeing the positives to continue to buy at near zero and set themselves up for the typical small stock loss or vast riches if this company is different from a typical pink in some "new" technology or digging something out of the ground -- usually, that new technology is how to keep selling shares and certificates are what the others are digging up. I volunteered to moderate the IHUB board and except for a few, level-headed investors (or nutty ones like me) seeing what I do, it's riddled with the day traders who run their shows for a living each day -- pretending to be positive and then turning neutral and then complete bashing. If they get a stock to their buy point, then they spam it everywhere with no substance again other than telling others it's "going to be the big runner" for the day or week. They take their 10-30% and move on. I keep hoping ETIM will show real signs soon of turning into a money-maker so these worms will just move on to more appropriate pinks, then ETIM can go OTC, then enough earnings one day to be what we all dream about. I remain, SOROS
