RE:RE:red again. wonder why? More like a ponzi not pyramid there is a difference between the two. A pyramid is where the level above makes more money than those below and things are based on sales of products/services...but mlm avoids alp this by saying if people build legs as others do it is the same for everyone. Ponzi is where some people are paying other people with others monies and there is a trickle down affect where the bottom is not seeing much if any. The problem with all stocks is that is what inevitably happens regardless. All insiders have knowledge that people at retail do not and typically if they don't take profits off the table a lot of the time there are frequent dilutions and share values crash. The dilution is as understood to keep raising capital to keep the "lights on" "sustain operations" "fund future projects" and typically companies are really hard to sue because of all the disclaimer not only made in their press and sedi files but also by the exchanges themselves so unless there is an absolute flagrant disregard for intent of trying to get product and or service to market it is extremely hard for companies to be held to task. The other thing is unless there is a blatant disregard for insider trading in accordance to its governance again hard to take people to task. Every stock company works in the same manner however juniors are particularly risky because they are capital hungry and heavily dilute while trying to get product out to market and go through dilution and consolidation. Now as far as Steve goes he has made it clear that there is no guarantee of a successful acquisition and by the looks of it the company is affiliated with some really strong companies in which it has gained certification and recognition of in regards to its suite so if that is the case it has product. How valuable the product is is the issue. The fact this was all in the making of 6 years is nothing out of the ordinary and over course of time stocks move up and down based on hype and speculation and not one company's management will not hype what they are doing. As to who is pushing up and taking down share values that is everyone not just one person or insiders. Everyone who makes a damn comment on the boards so we are all to blame in all this in all aspects of what goes on. If you want to be less blamed don't make yourself visible and comment just shut it and do what you have to. Thus is a whole bloody rigged game where retail shareholders will always be the last to know what the hell is going on and has to understand that this is all pure gambling. When you see profit take it. When you are down decide when you will take your loss and as to how many shares if not full out take it. If you see that shares can go up buy when they level hit bottom and flip on the way up. Now if people complain management is doing this news flash we all do that is how this whole thing works. Like I said if we want to be less bloodied on our hands shut it and do your our thing I think we know just how this whole things work. If we don't like it get out of stocks or at least pennies and buy those that give you dividends. Complaining about what we knows happens and not changing how we deal with what we are doing doesn't help. Now as far as legitimacy yes this company has some sort of software based product it has been certified and some monies coming in...again how valuable and will it be sold are the x factors for that you can't call this a scam...it may succeed it may not we know we are gambling on that so it is up to each of us to manage our positions and do so not only for this stock but for all of them. Companies are at various points of development some have products but because of the environment take major hits with their shares tanking boat for instance. Then others have ideas and concepts that they try to bring to market raise funds create excitement hype and buzz but may not succeed the issue is intent...if people had 0 intent to see successful commercialization than yes that is a scam bit proving it is extremely difficult if they have every intent but doesn't succeed no it is not. Now this company has been kicking as some say this can for the last six years that's not anything unremarkable nor is the fact that things have not quite reached where it is intended. Tell me something if people gave up after 2 to 3 years they would be seen as a scam didn't care. Now if people kick the can for 5 plus years "hyping" things and still nothing comes of them they are still seen as a scam and on top of that making money which people don't like. I called out a past CEO of Eguana tech and he said when the stock was up people had the chance to sell why didn't they? He said that the company has to do whatever it can to survive keep the lights on and sustain operations. Eguana by the way has been around for more than 20 years as a junior previously called Sustainable Technologies and people got angry with them too because as it happens things go up and down and go through cycles. Some stocks reach really high prices and then may be about a fifth of that but depending when bought could still be higher. I held exro at .25 starting I added at .54. People said it wasn't worth more than a quarter. The stock went in excess of $7 share I sold at near cost .53 now above $2. If people bought at a quarter held missing the $7 it is still more than 10 times up but they didn't sell whose fault is that? Management also claim that they aren't hyping up stock shares which they promote and it is again everyone does and the shares could go stupid...pyr went from an undeserving.17 to over $12 the same year if I recall 2021 held that damn one too sold in 2019 the year after it hit over $1.00 bit now is around $1.00 is that a scam too? Do you guys understand??? Everyone has a hand and is bloodied in all this and those who lose continue to whine and blame I have done that and a lot but until and unless I take full responsibility change things well it won't matter I will keep losing. I have changed some things not all as I do have pre-planned moves which I may adjust. For instance, 1000 shares is my desired minimum long and I mean long term holding so what happened to me numerous stocks don't happen...pyr average .54 sold around average $12 plus exro average around .46 went $7plus sold around average hpq average around .10 went about a buck or more sold at average...so I have now want to hold 500 to 1000 shares although I haven't fully done this...dumped nxo but was in and out mrs the same I will buy both back if they stay under a dime and then likely hold them. Now I have 1000 pei shares they ran to .17 I had 2000 and 1500 but I kept the 1000 now at .12 ish. The point being I knew with the run it will likely pull back and it had diluted several times with the CFO saying it isn't even trading at proper market. Now I could sell full out or hold and add. Like I said I have planned it and planned strategically trading shares but have been going between whether take all cash or hold shares and build cash knowing what I do about a very depressed market. If you short best to take all cash cash is king if you look more mid to long you can hold and cost average or hold and sell. Because there is so many ways to do things one has to find what works for them and what they can be at peace with so I don't like to miss on runs and decided I will stick to my 500 to 1000 core buy build and trade. So 1000 I hold. I have a strike point of current price to .15....if I buy 1000 more shares I will hold half and put half on a .20 plus sales consideration. Longer term I am looking at a buck plus a year or so but cash is king so I want to build bank as well. Let's say I buy at .15 1000 shares (amount is not important principle is) I pay $160.00 with 10 commission. I save 500 and 500 is up for sale. Let's say it hits .20 and it is stuck becomes dead money I sell 100 less 10 commission I get $90. That leaves $70 at risk. Now let's take the worst case it goes to .16 that is my cut point to end on break even so I pull my $160 out....16 times 500 $80 less $10 equal $70. But let's say it goes back up...the whole principle is about finding your sell points and you loss point where you look to breakeven or take nominal loss or whatever you decide while position for both up and down movements. The whole thing with stocks is positioning covering both the top and bottom or putting yourself at profit or taking nominal losses whatever you consider that to be 10 percent 20 percent....would not be great to be more than 20 percent down. 20 percent gains are powerful that is why day traders look to them and people who are holding long get killed. It isn't about "penny flipping" about being seen as a trader a loyal long time shareholder a basher a pumper it is about maximizing profits and limiting losses. Like I said we are all to blame have our hands bloodied we know how all this goes. Best to shut it and do our thing. I am a bit yappy and try to avoid the boards promised to keep off them but when I see comments like I do with this stock I put in my two cents worth. Manni keeps in my opinion stupidly going on about.15 if that were going to be remotely true at least as long as Steve is "scamming/making things up about the suitors" wouldn't that have already happened? As I said to him that that is not likely to happen until and unless the deal is dead. Now there are enough people who will keep trading shares selling some at high while holding and buying on pull back we see that on the comments and that's smart trading...many who I think believe there is something and many who may what I call playing the game...those who pump and bash tend to do so unless they have their fixed agenda as to paid bashing and paid pumping or whatever. There are those very enthusiastic bought into the Kool aid I have been there too many times and too many times let down and got into chastising people ugly pissing contests and why I like to try to keep out. In any case this will go on for as long as it does. If people lose interest faith sure this can start falling heavily before much is said or will when as I said deal doesn't go through. My best guess though is as I said there will be interest but again what price? How much dilution etc. However .15 will not likely be for quite some time. And I said I have a plan for this too. The bottom line again is positioning making money covering your top and bottom and seeing what brings you peace. If taking all profit does do so. If you regret having and selling shares even at profit because they keep running then maybe keep some although when people make profit and shares run you made bloody profit! But many become sour and start bashing not cool!!! And conversely when they lose same thing...don't whine be gracious both ways because if you are not not only will you not be happy I will bet you will on the whole lose. Anyways I don't see a scam here but I had said that about a few sticks that totally imploded one changed focus too many times was into everything and sold chunks out without the proper way of doing it although legal that was ACDC which remamed to bloc at least Steve is singularly focused and building what he has. In any case I have painstakingly given my two cents worth take it for what it is. I am a firm believer of trying to screen through all the bs and noise and simply have a plan follow it or adjust it and simply try not to whine at least not on the boards I still curse privately and sometimes on the boards well can call for CEOs to get fired however I should not do that...I should be good enough to manage my shares and accept all that comes equally gains and losses however when there are lack of transparency yeah I get annoyed but if I have a plan I shouldn't. Insiders always know retailer's are the last to...so you only can do your best. Retailers have waited over 7.5 months for Accelware to commencing heating and all the latest was in weeks...management is vague on timeliness so people like me are pissed. The shares tanked and people have already been shorting as oil and gas companies are heavily shorted. The tech is quite good promising but as to what the share value is is anyone's guess. Now I have chosen to hold for the heating to commence anyways no point running down the CEO anymore than I already had and for several key reasons...someone else said the same recently I simply thumbs up it no comment. I just posted for my birthday which is today as I did for here is to see things get done. Now I don't buy to lose money however all I can stress is regardless of what my expectations are and what I want I have to make sure I protect my principle and have plans in place. If I fail to act and things work badly that's on me just as it is when things work well. When we understand this that is when you will start to see money pile up in your favor. Best to shut it (I am strongly looking and talking to me here as well) understand the field and put things in our favor playing by the rules that others do but are privvy to knowledge we are the last to know of. Anyways this is way long I yapped enough good luck all.
