OK, so our time to shake the shorts?

Time to lodge some complaints with the SEC? sec.gov

I think they have interns screening for abuses. Any thing that bears looking into is passed to a case officer. I'm sure they could piece together what's going on here, uh, real quickly. Pretty effin' obvious.

Really, we're not talking about gray lines and stock touting. We have blatant violation of securities laws and now this on-line manipulation.

I'm sure there aren't any securities lawyers that would find this situation even remotely interesting. . .

Dear Bob:
Thank you--then you know how much of a bulldog we can be in the middle of the fight.it seems our unsung heroes carefully pick their time and place to make slanderous remarks----mainly when I am out on the road trying to work for the owners (the shareholders).sit back because the story is now unfolding(by the way it took the Marines ten months to take Guadacanal --but they did it).With respect to the pending legal action we received today the full name and address of SI and their phonenumber.We expect a legal letter will be sent to them via certified mail next week requesting the complete names and addresses of all those individuals who made those slanderous statements.
Those people in time will be served by the local sheriff.In the last law suit we won, we took the difference in the price of our stock at the time the statements were made and the price of the stock when we notified them(today) multiplied by the number of shares and sued for that amount.They may pretend to be heroes now but it is not fun when one is sued for millions ---your mouth get's sort of cottony.

I thought I would offer a reminder from our recent history. Many of us went through the "dark days" of sub dollar prices over the last several months. It seemed unimaginable that it could happen. The fundamentals of the company were totally detached from the price. A lot of us did some serious soul searching to explore our investment. In the end, the "dark days" turned out to be a blessing in disguise for those who concluded that this was a solid, fast-growing company, regardless of the price. Many of us were able to gobble up lots of shares for very little money, and decrease our average price dramatically. This patience and faith has already been rewarded for many.

As in everything in life, knowledge is power. And information provides a strong defense against those who think nothing of resorting to deception and fearful rumors to part you and your loved ones from your money. I have been a shareholder in DCI for a year now, and my confidence in the dream has only grown in spite of all the setbacks. My faith is not in Joe Murphy, per se. My faith is in the facts regarding DCI. However, the integrity of Joe Murphy gives me confidence that the information provided by him is accurate. And I have seen nothing over the last year to make me think otherwise.

JHA,
I thought I would give you a little more information on this subject. From what I could dig up Mark Valentine is an agent for the three Canadian LP's that do debenture deals with small US companies. He also works for Thompson Kernaghan which is the Canadian firm that does the actual shorting for the partnerships. The shorting is done through CDSE which is the Canadian Depository Securities Exchange. The CDSE simply collects a fee or charges interest for maintaining the short position. The naked shorting is not illegal in Canada so the shorting part is OK under Canadian rules. The illegal part is the connection between the parties who are going to receive the shares through the convertible preferreds and those doing the actual shorting. It is absolutely illegal for the partnerships who purchased the convertible preferreds from DCI to short the stock with the intention of covering the short with the shares coming in from the convertible preferred. I must thank MB on another thread for much of this information. With the help of Mark Valentine and Thompson Kernahgan & Co. the principals of Sovereign Partners and Dominion Capital, IMO, started shorting DCI while the negotiations were going on and continued shorting after the deal was signed. As we got closer to the end of this year they shorted even more because it was in there best interest to have the price as low as possible when they exercised their right to convert the preferred to common.

I did notice from the last weeks position report that about 250,000 shares were put into the float from CDSE out of Canada. I expect that figure to be as much or more this week. In other words the shorters are doing everything possible to keep the price down. It is quite evident that the recent run up in the price certainly caught them off guard.

Another point and that is the MM PILL. They have worked with Mark Valentine in the past especially when they worked over Restaurant Teams International. I believe PILL started shorting as soon as they became one of our market makers. AS long as we see them playing we should expect the shorting to continue. However, Joe Murphy just made contact with Sovereign and Dominion Capital and informed them he was exercising his right of buying back the F-series.

The increasing number of shares that are short are like a rubber band. The further you pull it down the further it will go up when it is released. Next week will be an extremely interesting one for all of us as the company will be out of the QP and attacking on all fronts. I will expound on this in another post as this one is long enough.

Best Regards
