70,000,000 shares posted AH and Accumulation still increasing. Bollinger Bands turning towards each other and Bashers are bashing with emotionalisms.
Simply hold, while the Pump/Bash flippers try to assuage your doubts about them.
Flippers getting nervous with the 'squeeze trigger point'..they don't want too many getting too confident, other wise we will blast past .001 and they will be loosing.

Stocks UP or DOWN it doesn't matter! Bashers have money at risk just as you do. But they have the edge of fear, lies, and falsehoods to post while preying on the un-initiated. The average investor dose not have the edge of organized deception.

FCDH owns 20% of The Fight Network which is on the air throughout Canada. The O/S is very small at 2.5 Billion!

ITS HIGH NOON FOR FLIPPERS..........With the sideways trading still happening....it looks like the MMs still need to hide shares to cover their huge loss. The MMs are actually going after the shorties to get real shares back. Longs are in control of this baby..........we're not budging.........so its actually a blessing getting the shorties out of here at this level.
BKMP/TFN...is on the air waves all over Canada. On Rogers they pay and free preview on Choice until March 31st. Here's the bet....will TFN make it past March 31st to the USA? Will TFN get into the USA before?
Shorties looking for momo...non here anymore......Longs are in control!!!
It is my feeling that Sandy will not release anymore PRs until he feels it will take us past the 'squeeze trigger' point of .001 where the MMs would loose on taking a 'short'
BKMP will be very desolete for a while now...this not only makes us Longs wait (which is good)..but sweats the hell out of the shorties and MMs.
WELCOME TO THE BKMP STANDOFF BOYS....NEXT STOP WILL BE FORT KNOX!!!
glta just my opinion
