<<And if you don't own this stock, shut the hell up!>> That's the most direct and the most naive statement I've seen yet on this thread. It happens all over the place. Emotion obscures analysis. And I've been on both sides myself. TO ALL NEO-FASCISTS: I was under the impression that the First Amendment rules here. If you lose money on this baby, you're gonna be wishin' you paid more attention to some of the skeptics here.

<<I can respect those of you who are nay-sayers...but barely. Brad puts out facts, figures and answers...and he does his best to gather information from the company for those who have questions. Little Engine et al, some of which do not even own this stock, at times simply waste space on this thread as well as the time of those looking for facts.>> I can respect those of you who are loyal to FAMH . . . but just barely. Brad and Cheryl have done an excellent job gathering figures together and getting some questions answered. Because of Cheryl's hard work, I made some good money. (Thanks, Cheryl!) But, many of the figures they have gotten have turned out to be inflated. The problem is the facts we get from the company. The company reports that A=2 one day, B=4 another day, C=A+B another day, and C=9 another day. This is helpful information. Little Engine comes along and says, "Wait a minute. If A+B = 2+4, I can't get my calculator to = 9" He is good at pointing out these inconsistencies.

Dexx, If we don't own the stock, shut up? I hate to see Count de Monie slammed that way... I post here for the same reason as everyone else, ultimately. I feel like it. My analysis of FAMH "borrowing" could be construed as misleading, I suppose, though I never said they had already gotten the money. Apologies to anyone who thought I said that. My point was that they planned to, or why get the credit line? I've never gotten a credit card or loan I didn't use. As to why anyone would loan FAMH lots of money if they didn't deserve it... LOTS of people, if the interest rate is high enough. Anyone hear of Peregrine Investments Holdings? The Hong Kong "financial concern" tanked recently because they loaned $265 million to a taxi company worth $4 million. It happens. Lurker said a few things I had in mind... great posts! I don't care what anyone says about this stock, as long as they can back it up. Show me why something is correct, beyond "FAMH said so, it must be true" and I will certainly listen. I back myself up with better replies than "shut up." Most of the "negative" posts with well-reasoned calculations and common sense are responded to with speculation of what FAMH financials might show later, and how high the stock will be going soon. $1.50 in three days, blah, blah, blah. Sorry, but the "wasted space" I used on the third quarter financials they released forced Ira to backtrack on the supposed earnings (in the infamous fax to Capt. Dan.) Ira admitted that stock sales had been magically transformed into earnings to reach those figures. You would think stockholders would appreciate learning that. I guess not. As for your following statemtent: <<<Brad puts out facts, figures and answers...and he does his best to gather information from the company for those who have questions.>>>> Brad puts out figures and answers, but is pretty shaky on the facts. You would think after I pointed out some of the false statements in his original "overview" post, he would have corrected them. Nope. The new, improved overview, which has been hailed as brilliant DD here, still contains plenty of errors. For example, he cites Arizona State University and the Arizona Cardinals football team as FAMH clients. They aren't clients! He quotes "FAMH" as saying (a corporation can talk?) that their profits are considerably higher than the industry average since they are focusing on "upscale permanent placements." Funny, that's not what Ira told me! The "focus" comment is simply untrue. Ira told me that 85 percent of FAMH revenues come from temp assignments. Brad says FAMH is "drawing attention" from Ed Taxin's Financial Network. Taxin says of the stocks to watch "these are my personal picks... not buy recommendations." Huh? Taxin receives money in "consulting fees" from some of the stocks he mentions, and not from others. (See www.stockdetective.com for more info) Let's see, here's one group of Taxin picks: Compaq, CBS, Motorola, TWA, Continental Airlines. Another group: FAMH, Itex Corporation, and Canadian Medical Legacy. Which group do you think is more likely to be paying Taxin for the mention? Hmmmmm.... Well, that's just a few of the problems I have with the "research" from the loyalists, and that's just one post. I've left out Cheryl's classic, unattributed (and hilarious) claim that FAMH made $1.3 million on $1.8 million in revenues due to "pure profit" permanent placements. I asked her at least twice here to fill me in on where that information came from, and I have yet to hear an answer. Now she is indignant that I owe her an answer on something. Cheryl, had you been paying attention, I have answered your assertion that I am a market maker, or work for one (that's even funnier than your FAMH revenues claim, or investing in LAAQ). More than once. Most recently, I think, in Post #1354. But I'll say it again: I don't work for the bogeymen you blame for this dog's performance. I'm not a market maker, have never met a market maker, wouldn't know a market maker if I saw one. Satisfied? I will offer you the same deal I offered Dexx: come to Chicago and check me out. If you can pull yourself away from your desk at FAMH, LOL. I'm joking, kids. By the way, I enjoyed Jonathan's FAMH chat tonight. He ran it well, and plans to ask Ira a number of questions raised there. I look forward to the answers. <<<Brad puts out facts, figures and answers...and he does his best to gather information from the company for those who have questions.>>>
