Yeah, I tend to agree with you one this one. No way #'s go up and down that fast on potential investors. Had to be testing. We're getting closer. I'm guess this week but that's just a guess.

New Entry in Online Vid Race
Sat Jan 24, 4:06 PM ET Add Movies - Reuters to My Yahoo!

By Jill Kipnis

LOS ANGELES (Billboard) - There's a new kid on the block in the online video rental world.

Gameznflix.com, owned by Franklin, Ky.-based holding company Point Group Holdings Inc. (PGHI), is launching next month with an offering of DVDs and videogames.


The service's business model is similar to that of Netflix, the leading online rental company based in Los Gatos, Calif. Users will pay a monthly subscription fee that enables them to receive DVDs or games through the mail. After a subscriber returns a title in an envelope with prepaid postage provided by gameznflix.com, another title from the rental selection list they have created is sent.


"This is a long-term project that will offer an alternative to Netflix," says John Fleming, CEO/president of PGHI. "We will crawl, then we will walk and then we will see about running into the future."


Netflix ended 2003 with about 1.5 million subscribers, a 74% increase over 2002.


Fleming says that the availability of videogames will differentiate gameznflix.com from such competitors as Netflix and walmart.com, which offer only DVDs.


A Netflix representative could not be reached for comment by press time.


PGHI already has established an online videogame rental service through its 18-month-old Web site veegeez.com, which will be incorporated into gameznflix.com next month. Fleming would not disclose how many subscribers use veegeez.com.


It currently distributes veegeez.com orders through centers in San Diego and Franklin. Fleming says two more distribution centers will open soon.


At launch, gameznflix.com will offer about 50 top DVDs and a full stock of videogames. According to Fleming, 99% of published videogames, including such older titles as "Pong," will be available for rent.


"It costs $50 to buy a game. The gamer beats the game or likes it or dislikes it and is over it in about two weeks and three days," Fleming says. "Now, they can rent it for $20 a month."


Fleming would not disclose what the monthly subscription fee for gameznflix.com will be, though its veegeez.com offers plans that range from $19.95 to $39.95. For example, the $19.95 plan allows users to have two titles rented at a time, while a $29.95 plan allows four rentals at a time.

WOW! Just got back from up by Yosemite. Went and played in the snowy areas

Read all the new posts and I am so happy with what I have seen. I already know our potential... but to read the new articles that talk about us as the, "new kid on the block" is GREAT! We are getting our exposure. And more hubs/distribution centers to be opened soon... along with the 50 top DVD's for rent... and video games... DAMN this is all to the good!

These simple fonts cannot express my faith and happiness enough with PGHI.

Hey if you look at the SEC filing Veegeez had $80K in subscription revenue for the 9 months ending Sept 30th...now if you figure every sub pays 20 per month over that period that means that each sub should pay approx $180 over that span...$80,000/$180= about 450subs...now this number might have been lower at the begin of the yr and higher towards the end to get this revenue but this prob is a good ballpark estimate, at least i doubt it was above 5-600 by Sept 30th. i dont know a ton about this stuff but it makes sense to me...GLTA!

I'd say that we have about 1000-1200 subs at this point and with the new site, article, name change, and introduction of DVD's, we will probably see 10,000 to 50,000 within a month or two. JMHO of course!

If they had about 450-500 subs by Sept 2003, I don't see why we couldn't have 1000-1200 four months later. I mean yeah it's ugly but I've been using the service since 3 months ago and it's top notch!

With the new site and all the goodies to come, I expect at least a 500% to 1000% increase in the subs very quickly!

I believe this is indeed a very good wy to count. I would say about 450 customers at the end of September. John also told me that the grow rate was about 25 to 30% over the last months... So let us count

September 450
Oktober 562
November 700
December 875
January 1093

I believe this to be pretty accurate.

5000 customers should be possible within a couple of months. Certainly with the new site and merketing coming.

Lets not get too carried away. 10,000 to 50,000 subs in two months is very unlikely.

A lot of things have to be done still.
Newsite
Advertising
games and dvd increase.
more dist centers.


10,000 to 50,000 by the end of the year would be a great goal to aim for!

subs Monthly revenue
1,000 $20,000
2,000 $40,000
10,000 $200,000
50,000 $1 million

In fact, I would be happy with 5,000 to 10,000 by the end of the year (as long as there was a low churn rate). It shows steady growth and a good monthly income.

In saying that....when we start moving, we could really fly. Netflix got a million subs in less then 5 years....so, anything can happen.

I think that we will rise is memberships faster than Netflix did. They have paved the way for success. The word is out and once the site is up it is our duty as shareholders do everything we can to help this thing. I have talked to a lot of people including my family and my dad who is remarried and has kids ages from 6-13 was not wanting to pay for the subscription even though they spend over $240 a year on games for th kids, now that they will offer DVD's he said he is in. We all know that this market of online Video games has not been tapped into. 18-26 years olds make up the majority of these groups and if we can pull this group also, can you see the possibilities? It is so important to get the word out and advertise. Marketing the product and a great website we should have success because someone has paved the way we are just making it better. Just like Bill Gates did with windows. He took what Xerox had and made it better!!

I dont think that the article was released early. Several statements refer to "next month" which will be February. This is when certain business plans are suposed to go into effect. This is just a preview for all to read about whats to come.

This should generate some serious interest in the company!

But I wish JF would let us know how many subscribers there are.

I have been in a coma the last few days. Not so funny now are you. No realy I have not paid much attention to pghi I have buys in at .045 and .04 has not dropped that low. I will sell at 50% profit if it fills. Still not long on this one. But 50% is money in the bank.I would think if someone like magoo was real he would pull 30% and move on. So who was acting like a big shot? Anyone know I will read old post to see.

**SPECIAL WEEKEND EDITION**
IN THE MONEY: NASD Tightens Short Selling/Delivery Rule

By Carol S. Remond
A Dow Jones Newswires Column

NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--Taking most market participants by surprise, the
National Association of Securities Dealers has drastically tightened one of
its rules governing short selling.

Known as affirmative determination, the NASD rule stipulates that brokers
and dealers engaged in a short sale transaction must make sure that shares
can be delivered by settlement time, three days later.

"We closed a loophole," said Steve Luparello, executive vice president of
Market Regulation at NASD.

Until now, non-NASD members, like specialists, option markets and foreign
brokers, weren't covered under the affirmative determination rule. That
means that non-NASD members didn't have to represent to the NASD broker
through which they conducted a short sale order that they would be able to
deliver the stock by settlement date.

A short seller typically borrows stock from a broker to sell it into the
market, betting that the share price will fall so that he can buy the stock
back at a lower price and pocket the difference.

The amended NASD affirmative determination rule, which was recently approved
by the Securities and Exchange Commission, will particularly affect short
sales conducted through foreign brokers, most specifically Canadian brokers
which have often been used by investors to sell short the stock of small
U.S. companies trading on the Over-the-counter Bulletin Board or OTCBB.

Because it's often impossible to borrow the shares of companies trading on
the OTCBB, investors and hedge funds looking to take negative bets on these
often-overvalued development-stage companies have traditionally been trading
through Canada where it's not required to borrow stock before selling it
short. The practice is known as NAKED SHORTING.
"It's part of (a broker's) supervisory responsibilities," NASD's Luparello said, adding that a non-member's previous failures to deliver should be a good indication of whether or not it will in fact be able to complete the transaction by the settlement date.

Market makers engaged in bone fide market making activities will continue to be exempt from affirmative determination.

Luparello said that, unlike a parallel SEC initiative to tighten short selling rules on the small-cap markets, the new NASD rules did not originate from worries over mounting failures to deliver stock into the national clearing system. But Luparello said the amended NASD rule fits nicely with the new short selling regulations now under consideration by the SEC.

"I think it addresses a gap and (shows) that we, like the SEC, are looking at a variety of things in this area," Luparello said.

The NASD proposal was first submitted to the SEC in November 2001, well before alleged abuses of naked shorting became the focal point of a campaign lead by some OTCBB companies in the U.S that say they have been victimized by the practice.

While some investors argue that short sellers provide a needed service to the markets, others have called for the complete abolition of short selling because of the undue pressure its puts on the shares of companies.

While market participants in the U.S. and abroad are well aware of the new short selling regulations being put forward by the SEC, known as Regulation SHO, most said they knew nothing of the NASD's plan before it became final.

"It's taken us by surprise," said Richard Thomas, head of compliance at Canadian brokerage firm Pacific International.

Although separate from it, the amended NASD rule fits tightly within the SEC's SHO which is now under review by the SEC staff after a period during which market participants were invited to comment on it.

As it stands, the new SEC short selling rules will make it easier to short large-cap stocks since they would do away with the "uptick" rule, which bans short selling on a stock when the price is falling.

But it when it comes to the small-cap markets, where it's often impossible to borrow stock, the impact of SHO will be the opposite, making it harder to short sale stock.

The new SEC rule sets a predetermined level of so-called clearing fails - cases in which a broker or investor cannot deliver stock within two days after settlement - which will trigger a 90-day blackout whereby the customer will not be allowed to short sell that security. That 90-day exemption would affect trading of U.S. securities in and outside the U.S.

The new NASD affirmative determination rule will take effect on Feb. 20.

I take the money and run pull some cash and ride. I do not marry any stock except nsdm and I will sell all my shares for .20. I will sell anything for a nice profit. Truth is 99.9 % of otc and pinks never go anywhere but up and down. Are most scams yes. Can I make money on them yes.How many become 1.00 stocks very few. I try to make money of other peoples hope they will. When I get a ton of money I will marry some of them but untill then I will just use them. I am making money with my present plans. Why would I mess that up. I have done well selling for free shares. I try not to get holding the bag. One important aspect of me buying stocks is other people have to beleive in them. You guys do.It is not a real concern for me if the company makes it just if other investors beleive it will they will hold it up untill I make some money and look for my next play. Just the way I play. For everyone that makes money on a stock somebody losses money.
