I know that. But I first encounter her and Jim Bishop when I first started trading and bought IDWD. It was because of them that I learned what DD really was. I also found both of them to be very knowledgable and willing to share that knowledge with others.
Neither one of them are infallible but from what I have seen they are both right more often then they are wrong. I have always felt that if someone can actually make a credible argument with some facts to back it up against a stock I am interested in, I'll not only listen but follow up on the DD.
I completely dislike the person that posts scam and nothing more no links to back them or anything. That to me is a bash, whereas a person who has done their homework and shares it, is just providing information like the person presenting positive Info.
I like Janice and Jim and will listen but as with all else still do my own DD.

I mentioned several weeks ago that I was requesting a portion of my position in certs. They arrived this evening, about 3 weeks total turnaround time. They have Arlitt's siggie on them.
At the top they at least confirm the A/S count as 200 million shares. Of course the O/S is the almighty question, especially as it concerns Alexander. Too bad they don't include that number with the certificate documentation.
Anyway, I mentioned I was running this little experiment to see if certs were still available and how long it might take to receive them. Using Choicetrade it was about three weeks. I have heard others say 6-8 weeks but that may have been during a very busy time (apparently during Nov and Dec a lot of people were pulling certs, according to Integrity).

Sort of OT: Its kinda strange. I purchased some shares of FCCN a while back because it looked like another reverse merger but with a company i could actually find info about! Anyway, it seems they went through the same "jerking around" that we went through....bad press and basher galore, but it looks like they are still keeping it together. Anyway, my point is, i got an email from Etrade regarding a shareholder vote for FCCN. I havent opened it yet, id rather wait until i get home, but at least it looks like some sort of progress.
I bought into FCCN on January 5th, roughly 6 months after FHAL....5 months after the merger to CSHD. Im not sure which one is going to get their chit together first but CSHD is not currently the front runner.
Im sure this is all because of the court stuff...........which in retrospect was definitely not the fault of the shareholders, yet we are the ones currently holding the bag. Ive learned one thing (even if FCCN turns out to be crap)....things do NOT take as long as some people want us to believe.

OT : Actually this list of suspensions appears to be part of a "Sting" operation or something. It doesnt look like the normal suspension list.
Here is news from one of the suspended companies..."Operation Spamalot"
UPDATE: SEC Stops Trading In 35 Cos Linked To Email Stk Spam
Mar 8, 2007 12:45:32 (ET)
(Updates throughout with details, SEC comment)
WASHINGTON (Dow Jones)--The Securities and Exchange Commission halted trading in 35 companies Thursday as it stepped up efforts to protect investors from market manipulators who use email "spam" to hype investments in tiny microcap companies.
"Operation Spamalot" will target an estimated 100 million spam messages sent each week, the SEC announced. Its chairman, Christopher Cox, said the operation will crack down on emailed invitations urging investors to "ride the bull" or make "fast money."
The SEC's announcement followed the halt in trading of shares in 35 Pink Sheet companies said to be featured in repeated spam campaigns. The SEC cited questions about the adequacy and accuracy of information about the companies.
Spam messages can trigger sudden rises in stock prices and trading activity, but the stocks can plunge when the perpetrators sell their shares and stop the spamming, causing investors to lose their money, Cox said at a press conference here. Mark Schonfeld, head of the SEC's New York office, estimated that investors have lost tens of millions of dollars in the past year alone on the 35 stocks subject to the trading halt.
SEC officials have long recommended deleting such messages. Under the new push, the agency is warning investors to steer clear of such stock tips and plans to take aggressive steps to curb the spamming. More trading halts and lawsuits targeting promoters are likely, agency officials said.
"There will be actions to follow," Cox promised.
The 10-day trading suspensions will run through March 21, and affect the following 35 companies: Advanced Powerline Technologies Inc. (APWL), America Asia Petroleum Corp. (AAPM), Amerossi International Group, Inc. (AMSN), Apparel Manufacturing Associates, Inc. (APPM), Asgard Holdings Inc. (AGHG), Biogenerics Ltd. (BIGN), China Gold Corp. (CGDC), CTR Investments & Consulting, Inc. (CIVX), DC Brands International, Inc. (DCBI), Equal Trading, Inc. (EQTD), Equitable Mining Corp. (EQBM), Espion International, Inc. (EPLJ), Goldmark Industries, Inc. (GDKI), GroFeed Inc. (GFDI), Healtheuniverse, Inc. (HLUN), Interlink Global Corp. (ILKG), Investigative Services Agencies, Inc. (IVAY), iPackets International, Inc.

You know that this could play into the hands of the not too above board. Think about it. If there is a major short position all they have to do is start a spam campaign and get the stock suspended. Once that happens and they begin trading on the gray sheets they can cover at a much cheaper price.
Man I just don't know. It would seem that there has to be a better way to address this issue.
It is understood if you are not able to answer in an affirmative or even negative manner at this stage, but the answers are deemed to be important as most shareholders hope for a positive future outcome of this saga:
1. Is there any analysis available of the FTD lists pertaining to CSHD/FHAL that were acquired from the DTCC or any of its subsidiaries?
2. Is there any proof of any FTD's' outside the DTCC clearing system relating to CSHD?
3. If so, is there any analysis being conducted of the FTD lists to identify individuals/fims who may have agreed, conspired and/or participated in any type of illegal stock manipulation scheme pertaining to CSHD/FHAL?
Thanks !!
GO CSHD!!
Praise The Lord and Pass The Ammunition!
Solid & Strong
1. Is there any analysis available of the FTD lists pertaining to CSHD/FHAL that were acquired from the DTCC or any of its subsidiaries?
Go back to the PR about the SHO list, there are several free web sites that archive this information.
2. Is there any proof of any FTD's' outside the DTCC clearing system relating to CSHD?
SEE ABOVE
3. If so, is there any analysis being conducted of the FTD lists to identify individuals/firms who may have agreed, conspired and/or participated in any type of illegal stock manipulation scheme pertaining to CSHD/FHAL?
Several organization are following and attaching this, great website have emerged they have all been posted, DDers Please post the links

By JOSH FUNK, AP Business Writer Thu Mar 8, 6:40 PM ET
OMAHA, Neb. - The job applications from investment managers who want to work with legendary investor Warren Buffett have started to pile up around Berkshire Hathaway Inc.'s office in the past week.
"We've gotten hundreds of those things so far," Buffett said in a phone interview Thursday afternoon. "I'm a little overwhelmed."
Buffett outlined his plan to hire one or more young investment managers in his annual letter to shareholders released March 1. Berkshire plans to make one of the managers of its more than 60 different companies CEO when Buffett is gone, and one of the investment managers will become Berkshire's chief investment officer.
Buffett, 76, said in his letter that Berkshire's board agreed in October to seek outside candidates for the chief investment officer job because the best internal candidates are too close to Buffett's age.
Buffett joked that the job applicants shouldn't be intimidated by Berkshire's $61.5 billion investment portfolio or the $38.3 billion cash the Omaha-based company held at the end of 2006.
"I've always said my job is so easy a caveman could do it," Buffett said, echoing the slogan from recent ads for one of Berkshire's insurance companies, Geico.
But in his shareholder letter, Buffett outlined some more rigorous criteria for the job.
Buffett said he's looking for someone who is emotionally stable, can avoid serious risks, think independently and read human behavior.
When it comes to Berkshire's next chief executive, Buffett has said the company board knows "who should take over if I should die tonight" and said the company has three outstanding internal candidates. Each of those candidates is significantly younger than Buffett.
And when the subject of succession came up in his letter, Buffett tried to reassure shareholders that he is in excellent health: "It's amazing what Cherry Coke and hamburgers will do for a fellow."
Buffett started handling investments in 1956 when four relatives and three close friends trusted him with $105,000. At the end of 2006, Buffett's company had total assets of $248.4 billion, and it owned more than 60 companies including insurance, clothing, furniture, natural gas, jewelry and candy companies, restaurants, and corporate jet firms. Berkshire also has major investments in such companies as Coca-Cola Co., Anheuser-Busch Cos. and Wells Fargo & Co.
