Lurker.....I agree with much of what you stated. WE paid for alot of things for this company. We are suckers and we paid the price. Arif could care less how much we howl. They owed payroll taxes, they were late with filing and we're penalized. It's obvious. Famh needed cash. Somebody received alot of shares for nothing, maybe illegally, and I believe as Liar Monas was lying for Arif, somebody was dumping. Famh is no different than any other BB company. Same story, different stock symbol. These companies all come public for one reason and one reason only. They lack that one basic ingredient. CASH!! Hah. In Famh's case, present shareholders are the remnants of a stock play that's been basically over for 6 months now. Who knows how many millions of shares were sold, maybe illegally, into the "promotion." The company still hasn't resolved the O/S issue yet. You know why. They aren't because the truth here is the crux of the problem. No answers or reasons for the additional 40 million shares is a bad sign and we all know it. Arif knew exactly what he was doing when he hired Ira. Ira lied and he lied often. Arif maybe encouraged it. Someone definitely benefited from this "promotion" and pack of lies. Investors are never in the loop. Talking to a PR person, or the CEO or president of the company IS NOT in the loop. Don't kid yourself. Face it. We're not. We're the suckers for these promotions. These slick promoters and CEO's need us. They kill to have us onboard. We fuel their fire and they give us the matches and we burn ourselves. OUCH. That hurt. We need to develop more of a traders mentality when dealing with these companies. They show no loyalty to us and we should do the same. You'll never survive otherwise. These people are not to be trusted. They've proven it time and time again. Shareholders are a necessary evil to them. The company has, basically, received the money they needed from the IPO and shareholders are considered pests. But they'll put up with us because they may need more cash in the future. HAH. The market knew that earnings would be shitty. It was telling us. No interest, no buying, no volume, no nothing. Trust me. A week or two before 97's earnings come out, if volume picks up substantially, you'll know earnings will be good. On the other hand, if the stock is drifting or trending lower that week, you'll know to expect ANOTHER LIE coming to fruition.
