Buckeye, From the buckeye state, thank you for your info. Well done. I can well imagine that Mr. Monas must be very frustrated. Please folks, let him run the company, that is where the profits will come from to make the stock rise. We now, thanks to buckeye, have clarification on EPS, so let it rest till the audit is done. I will be on the sidelines now until all results are in. No sense in posting needlessly. Brad ahead in votes for rep. Well Brad? Let's hear from you. Keep smiling everyone and remember, we all make our own decisions. Redhead

Good Day! Buckeye, Welcome to the FAMH Thread! I have already expressed my point of view on how frustrating and challenging I feel it can be for any management representatives that are experiencing the growing pains and scrutiny inder the constant limelight of what I call the "Are We There Yet Scenario?". When my daughters were quite young and we went on long cars travelling vacations, I would give them each a roll of quarters! It was their's to keep ( no questions asked!)--the only qualifier was that eveytime that any one of them asked "Are We There Yet?"--- ----they would have to return to me one of the quarters from the role! I did the quarter scenario for two main reasons. First to help them pass some of the monotonous travelling time immersed in a hopefully fun, challenging, and game situation/environment! Secondly, I was hoping that it would help them be involved in some "real life" situations, where they could actually experience the "real life" effect of maximizing or minimizing their tolerance for patience. One conclussion that did appear to be communicated in one form or another ( after several trips) was that they began to realize that one way or another, no matter how long or short the distance, or how difficult the drive, or how bumpy the roads, when we reached our destination, there was always one part of the trip that was in their complete control------and that was how many quarters that they arrived with! In my opinion Buckeye, I tend to agree with you, that by continuously asking Ira and other FAMH Management representatives "Are We There Yet?" is most likely not going to get us there any faster! So, I plan to sit here in the back seat,holding on firmly to my long roll of quarters, and enjoy the ride! Yes! I also feel that we will hit a few bumps on the way, but that's OKAY! I've got my seatbelt on securely! A final thought! I did not expect for a second that any/all industry competitors to FAMH were just going to sit back and let FAMH eat their breakfast! The temporary staffing services industry is an extremely competitive environment! Would I be surprised if I found out that competitors or potentially future competitors, were in some way influencing some of the postings that make there way on the FAMH and various threads? I don't know the answer to that question, but what I do know is how I feel about the FAMH business opportunity! I like the fact that FAMH was a long standing successful private company for many years! From my own personal experiences I look for businesses that have a strong track record of success and performance! FAMH ( at least to me) has proven that , so I am also speculating that they must have seen or have a reasonable vision, due to the fact that they took the initiative to become a publically trading company! I believe that it has already been stated that some of the main FAMH Director/Directors hold in the area of several million + shares of FAMH that are currently restricted from trading? ( Just my opinion of what I thought I read!) In my opinion, I feel that Ira and other FAMH Senior Management are very much aware of the impact that comes about from any/all of their publically made responses to shareholders and non-shareholders! ( Although just my own opinion!) Do I think that they are prepared to risk the potential of a very substantial value to their share holdings in the future by making some completely inaccurate statements? Not in my own opinion! Time Will Tell! Best Regards, Wayne J. P.S. I know that some of you are asking yourselves , "What did he just say in that posting?"---Now you have a much bettor idea of how it feels from this end when I read all the lengthy dialogue and calculations, attempting to reinforce negative overtones towards FAMH Management! Long FAMH! ( In fact longer than yesterday at this time!)

You all seem to like conspiracy theories. Here's one easy to grasp. Buckeye comes from nowhere to post the following: <<<With both guns blazing, he thundered, "Tell them to put up, or shut up! I will personally buy every share you want to sell, at your cost plus one half cent. Just fax me." I asked,"May I quote you on that; and he said, "You may". At about 9:45 this morning, in a brief conversation with a frustrated corporate president, Mr. Monas confirmed that the Earnings Per Share, quoted in last Thursday's Conference Call, are correct, and are NET AFTER TAXES. He further stated, "I do not have the audited financials yet, but the .11-.115 is very close">>>> "With both guns blazing....he thundered..." Oh, come on. Does this sound like an investor wishing to impart fellow investors, none of whom he's ever posted to before, with information? Or does it sound more like a hype-driven PR release? Bing bing bing. We have a winner. I find it interesting that "Buckeye": 1) Coincidentally appeared at the same time as Ira's new IR guy; 2) Writes in superhype PR-speak, unlike 99.9 percent of normal human beings; 3) After one day on the board, has the ability to reach Ira more than once, and gets his trust enought to gain intimate details of the financing arrangement (which, too, was written in PR speak); and 4) Can apparently talk to Ira any time he wants (which sounds rare these days for anyone to do, to read recent posts). Just thinking aloud, L.E. P.S. Ira made quite an offer there. If, for example, I spent .355 on my stock, Ira will buy if for .36 -- I could then go and repurchase the same amount for about .30 on the open market. Instant cash in my pocket, while holding the same amount of stock. I'd encourage everyone who bought in at higher levels to do this. What a great businessman.
