Less than 3 weeks of summer to go. The big buyout News should come any day now, which I doubt since they have been so quiet for months. But my hope are still up on this one.

12 million so far today. We're large institutional buyers though so we get them at a discount. Cost us a buck and a quarter. We'll probably dump them for 2 or 3 bucks later today. That'll make the boss one happy man!

George Burger, most recently the leader of Spotlight Television Inc.'s bid to introduce competition into the premium Pay TV market in Canada, and formerly Executive Vice President of Alliance Communications Corp.(later Alliance-Atlantis Communications Ltd.), has been named President and Chief Executive Officer.
"We are very excited to enter into the next stage of expansion of The Fight Network," said Mike Garrow, co-founder of the company. "We have established ourselves as one of the fastest growing sports brands in Canada, with a multi-platform strategy that leverages our content on digital television, pay-per-view and VOD, mobile, radio and online. The support of Mayhem Media and George's leadership will help us build our presence on those platforms, and export the brand around the world."
Launched in September 2005, The Fight Network is available on virtually every digital cable and satellite carrier across Canada. The Fight Network is also available in a unique online offering to subscribers worldwide through its relationships with global broadband distributors such as Joost and Veoh, as well as on Fight Mobile, carried by Sprint, Cingular, Verizon, Telus and Bell Mobility across North America. In addition, its weekly radio show The LAW (Live Audio Wrestling) is heard on terrestrial stations in Toronto, Ottawa, Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver, and online, and its daily show Fight Network Radio, hosted by Mauro Ranallo, can be heard on Sirius Radio Channel 186 across North America.

George is an experienced industry executive with the vision and skills, and the international experience and relationships, to lead this terrific team."
"This is a tremendously exciting opportunity," said Mr. Burger. "The timing is perfect. Mike saw the potential of combatant sports, and mixed martial arts (MMA) in particular, as a standalone sports package well before the explosion in popularity of MMA. The Fight Network is now uniquely positioned to lead the growth of the sport worldwide, and we are already pursuing opportunities in key markets. Meanwhile, there is plenty of room for growth right here at home, and we have the people that will ensure we execute all growth opportunities."

LOL... 860M in volume and the bid is still 0.00/shr. If I ever get my 50$ back out of this bloated pig I'll kiss Sandy Winick's sand covered toes....

The Bid is .0001, but with the Ask at .0001, the Bid takes as soon as it is posted, so you just don't see it. Once the .0001 are gone, you'll then see the Bids stack up.

Rob, you really have no idea how any of this works, do you?

I knew something big was coming when the bashers came out. Once they have loaded up, you can bet they will put on their pumping hat. Some like PCola takes it a little too serious. He must have the boss man yelling over his back. "You beter stop that TopRob before he cost us a lot of money by making this thing rise, you know we need to cover our short if it does!"

Rob, I understand that you are long on these stocks, but you're ONLY defense when people are constantly proving you wrong is that we're paid bashers. Can't you at least be original?
BY the way, according to your scenario if a stock has a bid x ask of $1 x $100 and I buy 1 share at $100 you're saying the bid is $100 but it is taken by the ask as soon as it is posted.
Do you really have that lack of basic knowlegde of bid and ask?

Does anyone know how many "BILLIONS" of shares this company has? I KNOW it is billions, but just wondering how many...kinda like JMCP...don't ya think.....good news (unlike JMCP), huge volume (probably 1/100th of what is out)..and she still won't move....WOW...
Just keep in mind this IS NOT a personal attack, but DAMN ROB, you like them nasty longshots huh?

Look at those numbers. Do you realize how many shares have to be bought to even sniff .0002? And even then, you can't make any money here because you'll be behind a loooooooooooooong line of people trying to sell at .0002.
It's really not as complicated as you make it seem.

Wow,....I don't even know what to say about the last few of your posts Rob,...you're even worse than any of us thought,....I'm sorry, but someone's gotta tell you to go to the newbie section and do some reading.
You can't always make a bid and think you're going to get it because you asked for it....
You'll only get it if:
A. The MM's want to give it to you at the bid (unlikely) B. If your bid is at THEIR ASK
