Jeff Rainey, Excellent post! It is not only your opinion but the opinion of many; most of whom will not speak out due to fear of one kind or another. Mostly, because of the heat that have to take. Your post stated real concerns and for you to take the time from your busy schedule to post and share them with us is honorable. You are saying what I and others have tried to get across so many times. For what it's worth, Jeff Rainey, is honorable and trustworthy man. He like many of us has lost money. There is a distinct difference in Jeff Rainey, and many others on this thread; including myself. We want to see truth, we are not supporting the continuation of smoke and mirrors in an effort to get the price up so we can bail out with a lessor loss. This is WHY we are constantly flamed my those with the opposite point of view. My backside is char-broiled from the constant flaming I get for speaking out. <IF> I have helped to open the eyes of just one person who has lost money; it has been worth it all. I have learned WHO the truly honest are and have great respect for them. I doubt I am alone, many others see and understand truth when they see it as well but they just leave the board and refuse to speak out. Each person must do as their conscience dictates; mine will allow me no other recourse than to seek and speak TRUTH. Respectfully submitted, Dusty

Jeff, that post is too long. 'net folks will not read it all so I will piece it together. Message 5456552 "Gary, What are you doing? Are you now back as the IR? Better yet what is this company doing? Awhile back it was posted about what to look out for in press releases, concerning companies that put out leading press releases that lead nowhere but manage to raise the stock prices on hype. This reeks of that in my opinion! "

Just take what, if anything is pertinent and leave the rest: The recent ascendancy of so-called "blank-check" blind pools, in which the new company generally has no assets, no employees and no stated business plan, has fueled the spread of fraud and abuse in the penny stock market. Once relatively rare, blind pools accounted for an estimated 70 percent of new penny stock offerings in 1988 and the first half of 1989, compared to less than 5 percent as recently as 1983. A high percentage of blind pools frequently are indirectly controlled by broker-dealers and unnamed promoters, many of whom have been identified as repeat violators of securities laws and felons, who use the offerings as a vehicle for systematic market manipulation. A number of direct links have been made between promoters of "blank-check" blind pool penny stocks and organized crime, according to the NASAA report to Congress.

THE "BLANK CHECK" BLIND POOL PROBLEM An estimated 70 percent of penny stock new issues floated in 1988 and through mid-1989 were blind pools, virtually all of them "blank check" offerings, so named because investors are provided with almost no meaningful information about the company in which they have placed their money. For example, "blank check" business plans are not detailed in the offerings' prospectuses. Frequently, "blank check" blind pools are merely sham corporations that are brought public as vehicles for future manipulative conduct, which is widespread.

In a matter of weeks after a "blank check" offering closes, a "reverse merger" or "reverse acquisition" may be announced and the underlying blind pool becomes and immediate candidate for hype and ma nipulation in the secondary marketplace, which is where stocks trade after an initial public offering (IPO) has been made. Similar abusive activity also takes place with so-called "shell corporations," which are generally inactive or bankrupt publicly-traded companies that are "raised from the dead" and merged with private companies. please turn page :)

This company continues to walk, swim, and quack like a duck. Too many of these companies announce this type of merger only to see it fall as this has before, by the way side. This shell (MIDL)has had a number of folks involved in alleged SEC violations,n and now civil violations,(THEFT Fisher) next page

Sorry, but the red flags are waving and I feel a need to make that very clear. Alot of these companies will indeed announce a merger or in negotiations with a company that is in Europe or far enough away that it very difficult to gather information.This plays on until the stock can be "played " and/or scalped off the momentum of the release. one more page :)

Gary this is not personal, you will do what you feel is right from your perspective and your philosphy but if your "assisting" on releases, we should know! Will the gambling casino's come next? Will we have a constant stream of CNHH's cast offs? What this company needed was to come forward with an honest to goodness "clean", unfettered and totally unconnected company! The leopard has not changed his spots NOR did it even try, just went under ground for a brief period so that it did not have to explain or answer why! ALL OF THIS IS MY OPINION, AND DOESN'T MEAN JACK! IF you have a differing opinion so be it, just be careful. Regards always Jeff very nice , but long winded, post Jeff :) Joe PTG&LI !!!
