Help from the Feds to Rein In The Stock Bashers One of the most favorite claims a stock basher has is yelling DILUTION in an open chat forum. Whist many companies do take advantage of certain State exemptions to raise capital from accredited investors. These State exceptions are not sanctioned by the SEC. This offers the stock basher (short seller) a wide array of tools to mix facts with fiction to achieve their goals, of planting doubt in unsuspecting and novice investors.. With the SEC (rightfully or wrongfully) clamping down on State exemptions which remains to be seen after having been heard by the courts many companies are now re focusing their attention to a Regulation A. See link http://www.sec.gov/about/forms/form1-a.pdf In summary a Reg A – Regulation A Offering is an SEC ruling that allow for simplified registration for companies of up to $5 Million Dollars. It gives many small businesses the ability to go public with their business and obtain capital through the selling of securities.
To qualify the SEC has set several requirements for businesses to qualify for the exemptions. Regulation A Offering exemptions are good for businesses that are legally registered with the government to do business in the United States or Canada. Companies eligible for the exemption must also not be a developmental stage company. They should have a specific business plan with no plans to merge with unidentified businesses.
An investment company is also ineligible for Regulation A Offering exemptions.
Being able to sell securities is a great source of funding for any business. It is extremely important however to have additional sources for capital available as well. This could include small business bank loans, bank lines of credit, business credit cards, private investment capital, account receivables factoring, and many other options.
What does this mean to the retail shareholder The filing of any Reg A with the SEC plus the Adequate Disclosure filing with OTC Markets, plus and a quick review of the State share structure filing will give the average investors a “bird`s eye view” of the company`s share structure and general affairs. At the very least, in our opinion it should put a damper on stock bashers ability to twist the facts for their employers benefit. Other hidden benefits will include a drastic lowering on the DTCC Chill as the DTCC will be able to see what shares are issued and where and reconcile those sums with their guidelines. As it stands now, many chills are caused by State offerings which do not reflect in DTCC books. The simple solution for DTCC is to place a Chill (versus doing their own State by State research) and forces the company to comply with reconciliation.
In our opinion and from what we have witnessed over the years, many “CEO” of Pink Sheet companies have used the State exemptions as a personal ATM machine with their companies.
The Reg A move should put an end to this abuse and restore much of the eroded shareholder confidence.
In summary our legal advisors summarized Reg A as following (Snippet from an email) I did some comparisons for Reg A and Reg D.
It seems that Reg A is a lot cleaner in the sense that it doesn`t appear to have some of the state requirements that Reg D has.
The financials do not need to be audited. The company should not be a blank check or an investment company. The company must have a business plan and no plans to merge with an unidentified business. The offering must not exceed an aggregated $5 million in a 12 month period and it can`t be a developmental stage company.
The rule seems fairly straight forward but the Form 1-A is lengthy and requires a lot of company information so the company has to be willing to put in the effort.

OTC Verify In 2010 we launched www.otcverify.com to make available to shareholders free of charge an independent report on company`s affairs. Not as an analyst but as an independent verification system similar to a “real estate appraisal”. We can tell you that not too many companies “passed the test” nor were they receptive to the program. Whist the shareholders loved the idea, and the accredited investors were offering to pay us to conduct the service, (thus being free of charge to the company) the company CEO` were not as receptive to the idea.
Our very first “rejection” or major resistance was KMAG! The Reg A will indirectly and although not as comprehensive as our OTC VERIFY service more or less achieves the same goal; only better. The reason is that with a Reg A the SEC will take up to 90 days to approve or disapprove the offering. In other words and in our opinion if you see a company with a Reg A filing it should put the question to rest “is the company real”. In other words if the company passed the Reg A threshold and invested both time effort and resources into it, there are many outside service providers that it most likely used. This will most likely include a consultant a lawyer an accounting / bookkeeping firm to name a few. The more service providers and professionals the OTC Markets company uses in drafting the SEC Reg A documents, by default the more protection you as a retail shareholder will have.

New MMG iPhone APP We are in the process of developing a new IPhone APP. Our old one is outdated and needs a revamp. We plan on delivering our Friday Alerts and Early Alerts via the App instead of email once completed. We are also looking at offering only OTC Markets quotes L2 on the industry leading low or most economical price point.
Anticipated Functionality * Stock Streamer, delayed market quotes * Mailbox, ability for Friday Tips and Early Alerts to be delivered on a timely informative bases to the subscribers * Favorites, the user could type their favorite stock in and this page would display 15 minute delayed stock quotes * News Feed, would feed off of the favorites page and use RSS to track any news releases specific to your favorite stocks.
The key for is that when you download the app, you will have to register for access which sets up your MMG mailbox. We will give the OTC Markets CEO (both clients and non clients) permission based access. The app will provide followers and shareholders with the ability to read the shareholder concerns and be in tune with their companies`.

Micro Tips AGIJ Company hard at work doing deals. Currently engaged in a legal battle with a hostile partial preferred shareholder. In this business it`s not what you know but who you know. The CEO has never resigned and the partial ownership does not give the hostile group the right to control AGIJ. Be that as it may they hijacked Nevada State filings and the service providers have all ceased providing service to AGIJ until this dispute is resolved. Do not expect announcements over major prime carriers. The CEO address on our Support Suite and the Company Web Site http://bit.ly/RUOlit .
is self explanatory.
We are of the opinion that the group that is attempting to hijack AGIJ “hostile takeover” have been playing with AGIJ stock (naked short selling etc) and is the cause of their ridiculously low share price. Here is a snippet of the email we received from the Company CEO which is self explanatory. “Michael, Collagenna Skin Care Products” michael@collagenna.net wrote:
“I just signed my North American marketing deal for Natural Supplements which help lower blood sugar. I am building a separate website for this and we will also be looking for retail space, international distributors etc. It is patented and Health Canada approved, we can also get the FDA to approve it as well. The revenue potential is tremendous.
The partner in this deal is the old lawyer we met at your offices, I finally convinced him and his group to sell products, not just licenses. They want to PR this late this week or early next week on the TSX, we need to do the same”.
In our opinion as so long as Michael is the CEO and in charge AGIJ is going places.
The minute he`s out you should be as well as the hostile group has one plan in mind and one plan only and that is to cover AGIJ at the lowest possible price or collapse AGIJ altogether so that they do not need to cover their shortfall at all. Their hired guns aka stock bashers are in full force spreading dark propaganda on AGIJ.
TNSX Huge mailers and a massive IR program and campaign in the play. This one could run into several penny land area. Started out good so we are not sure if you missed the boat on it or not Started out good at 0015 and last 2 days were not kind to it by the sellers. Keep this one on your watch list and make your own decision.
MONA Several years ago we acted as an M&A firm to bring a China (EE Global and other media co) into the MONA merger. We have not communicated with this management for years. We have received many inquiries from MONA shareholders to reach out to EE and get any sort of news or update out on the company. Our research shows that they are delinquent in filings and with transfer agent for several years. We did manage to reach the company and found out the reason. Mr Eric Yuan the EE and MONA CEO is terminally ill. We offered the company any assistance we can provide and if any new development occurs we will advise via these opt in alert e mails or the company may issue a news release.
UWRL The Company is in the process of signing up with OTC Markets and will commence filings.
In the meantime and until that is done the company is using this opportunity to post its financials on our Support Suite and on UWRL web page for the years 2011 and 2012. US Wireless Online, Inc. 2012 Q2 financials – http://bit.ly/UWRLQ2-2012 US Wireless Online, Inc. 2011 year end financials – http://bit.ly/UWRL-2011Financials .
KMAG Over the past several months we expressed both publicly and privately our dissatisfaction with KMAG management. In summary they mislead us in performing IR tasks while using every excuse in the book to stall. The relationship deteriorated as we refused to participate in KMAG well orchestrated dump and dump scheme which is currently well underway. We also advised KMAG shareholders that this CEO JR or “Junior” makes himself readily available to conduct a radio interview and pump his stock but is unavailable to meet suppliers and to conduct any meaningful business. We advised KMAG shareholders that our Hong Kong office reported that there is no Asian operation of KMAG whatsoever. Our Toronto research where we are stationed and KMAG office also shows nominal operations if any. For what its worth our collection letter sent by registered mail is undeliverable at the address shown on OTC Markets web site.
Additionally the court process server is having challenges locating any officer or Director of KMAG. Alternative means of court service are being proceeded with.
A copy of the collection letter and a Statement of Claim (Civil Complaint in USA terms) is attached on the support Suite. The filings are available on support suite @ http://bit.ly/KMAGdemandletter & http://bit.ly/KMAGStatementofClaim .
ZMGD Anyone who has ever moved out of the house or sold their car knows that the last thing on their mind is to cut the grass or change the oil on the car. Why bother the new owners will take over soon. That is the case with ZMGD. The new incoming merger is on the way in and the now management soon to be ex management is saying “why bother”. We will try to get some updates in the meantime but that is the status.
EVDR Some nice contracts being signed up and the CEO message issued this week sheds some light on activities of EVDR. Please read the company Adequate Disclosure. We said many times this is top notch management at the helm of EVDR. This company would pass the OTC VERIFY with ease! Interesting find on Robotics business www.bit.ly/RP4B5Z also www.bit.ly/O3nr93 .
ADHC We will get back to work on this one again next week. Some profit taking and that`s fine. That`s what we all do and why we are all here, however the target is still over 2c in the short term.
ANDI We always said that this CEO and this company is top shelf material. It`s a real company with a real business. The news announced yesterday (Share Buy Back) has been in the works a long time. Expect more of the same! From what cash you ask We are in process of having ANDI develop our new Smart Phone app for iPhone. We are aiming to be ANDI largest client in terms of cash and resources spent on the iPhone app development.
FOGC Received notice of DTCC Chill. Our legal department on behalf of the company sent LOA and FedEx letter to DTC compliance department. Received a response from General Counsel, they will review and get back to us shortly. In conclusion, FOGC is in motion.
TNRI The DTCC Chill is off! See filings on OTC Markets. Doesn`t matter! Small BD firms not updating records. The volume was massive yesterday and traded down to 0002.
As the “play behind the lines” goes on clearly this one is boxed in. It should re trace back to 0007 range and depending on what the small brokerages do can burst way past into 00 range or come back down to 0002 range where it is now. If you like “yo yo” plays where few hundred or few thousand percent gain can be made on the tails of “game players” this one is it! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DTC Chills Recently we launched our “DTC Chill removal service. Many companies have subscribed that we are assisting them with in this regard.
Companies covered by a certain SEC Complaint.
Just so that we are clear the companies are not the defendant or a relief defendant.
The alleged and inappropriate stock sale is alleged by regulators conducted by an accredited investor (LDSR, HIRU, GLCC, RMDM and NWTT) Here is a snippet of an e mail from our legal representative who discussed this matter with DTCC “I talked with DTCC about the chills for RMDM and NWTT. As you knew, it is due to the SEC complaints filed against Wheeler (NWTT) and TJ Management (RMDM and others).
According to DTCC, the chills will remain until the SEC sends them an email stating that the issues have been resolved. I will have to look into this process to see if there is anything we can do to on our end to assist these companies.” The good news is that the complaints weren`t filed directly against the companies.
