You would think the 10K is going to be good since he said he is looking forward to annoucing it along with some other items. I figure if it was bad they would just release it and not mention anything about it.

This is a good company, it could go back to 7 cents which traded not long time ago.
I like their financial statements. a lot of improvement.
One thing that interest me is the decline in account payable which means a healthy cash flow and prompt payment, on the other side, it may mean that business is slowing down and not a lot of purchases and liablities. But that fear is erased by looking at the revenue part in the income statement.
I think this will go up with every good news that is expected to be only good. The nitch market (healthy fast food & other franchises) that they are in is very appealing and expanding.

hmmm, that's interesting NITE moved to .043 on the ask at the market close. Hopefully we will have a gapper in the morning. Guess it all depends on how the 10K looks.

they were late with releasing the K-10 last time. They had filed for their inability to post on time on 7/13 last time around...Nothing to worry about but I wish they would stop putting deadlines out that they cant meet...well-meaning for sure, but short-sighted. Again, looking at their filing history, I dont think there is anything to worry about...

I have been long on FCCN for around 8 months now ...and seeing the recent gains of FCCN i have been looking for similar companies.
There is another food franchise pink sheet stock out there that seems highly undervalued * .0012 with annual revenues of $ 12M ...and somewhere from 30-50 franchisees...
weak point: not much interest/liquidity in it currently....but this can change rapidly..so it might be a good time to accumulate:
Quality Restaurant Ventures (OTC Pink Sheets: QRVI) today released a financial review showing that during 2004, QRVI had a 269%+ increase in system-wide sales compared to sales made in 2003. This report is the first announcement revealing the financial impact of investments QRVI made last year in two fast-growing, regional fast-food chains, Westshore Pizza and Famous Uncle Al's Hot Dogs (OTC Pink Sheets: FFDG). The report shows that in 2003, QRVI's system-wide sales were $4,677,502 compared with $12,599,913 for 2004. While the majority of the 2004 increase can be attributed to the company's new affiliations, Sobik's Sub Shops posted a sales increase of $207,803 which is 4%+ gain in system-wide sales for 2003.

I think the CEO would have been better off just keeping his mouth shut about when the 10K was coming out if he didn't know it was definitley coming out yesterday. Now everyone is losing confidence. What a way to kill a run.

nice guy! could well be ;-) because QRVI has also started to move and is beginning to show some volume (yesterday there was silence) I was stupid enough to start the QRVI thread without being fully loaded...and it seems hard to get filled now * the .0012 level... c u * the qrvi thread?

It appears like the stock was frontloaded. People have been loading up on this since around .02 and they basically sold on the news. I think it will eventually creep back up from here. Especially if they come out with more news in the coming days like the CEO says.

if so many shares are been retired why wasn't there more volume yesterday and today. People that know about stocks and how they are played are staying away.
How are they going from 5 Billion to 200 Million, only thing I can see a is R/S
they can't be buying back so many shares.

It's easy to go from 5 Billion to 200 million with the A/S. You just do it. It is the O/S that you can't do that with and from what I have heard the O/S is around 60 Million shares.

As a matter of fact, A/S still at 200 in float at 60 millions. CEO cancelled the 5 billions increase.

they only have 60 Million on the float! This is a reduction of the AUTHORIZED shares..NOT OUTSTANDING ...it is just an assurance that there will NOT be a dilution.....

My 5 cent input: I held FCCN for 8 months...(much longer than I am usually hold one)..I really liked the stock!
After the last disappointing release I just dont see any scenario for a run any time soon...(I was lucky to get out in time with a 45% gain * 0.35).
Take the loss and put what you have left into CESY...you might either make up the loss quickly....or lose some more (which you would do in any case when holding FCCN any longer)....
I have been wrong most of the time - so pls do your DD carefully !!
