Steve our CEO just called me, He said the "neither the Company or anyone he knows SOLD anything ". People ask your selves this Question=WHAT would selling 5-10 or even 1 hundred Million shares do for the Company ?? ANSWER=NOTHING- Except tick off a lot of Loyal shareholders and in the END -HURT THE COMPANY. There are some of you who are Real Good at investigating -So get on it-TRACK EM DOWN. look for INSIDER TRADING in the SEC web. I STAND behind our CEO 110 %. here's another thought- What IF it were someone who DID OWN that many shares and did TRADE THEM BACK -JUST to make their money BACK because they NEEDED it for a Emergency. think about it. Lets NOT loose our heads , we have a relieable CEO in Steve, and a Company that WILL GO onto Greater things. IF you need confirmation -Steve said he WOULD TAKE calls in about 1 hour. Remeber they EAT TOO.SEE you all Monday. RICK C

SMAS--big news out--.0002--Somatic Systems, Inc. Retires One Billion Shares Aug 25, 2008 8:30:00 AM View Additional ProfilesNORTHAMPTON, MA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 08/25/08 -- Somatic Systems, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: SMAS) announced today that it has completed its first round of share buybacks and retired one billion shares of its common stock. The cancellation of these shares will become effective by the end of the day, and is expected to increase shareholder value considerably.
Prior to retiring these shares, Somatic Systems had approximately 8 billion shares of common stock issued and outstanding. Cancellation of these shares brings the structure down to approximately 7 billion shares, reducing the company's common stock by over 12%.
The sizable elimination of shares comes less than 3 business days after Somatic Systems announced it would begin a massive share acquisition and cancellation program, to restructure the company's capital and grow share price without conducting a reverse split of the stock.
The company stated its intention to continue to acquire and retire additional shares. "This significant cancellation of shares is just the beginning," stated Somatic Systems CEO Steven Aronstein. "In addition to the strong efforts we are making to grow our market value by building our business through expansion and aggressive promotion and strategic contracts, we believe that removing as much as half our shares can help grow our value exponentially. We are just getting started."
Somatic Systems stated it will continue to announce the acquisition and retirement of shares as they are pending or have been completed in the coming weeks.

Somatic Systems, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: SMAS) announced today that, as part of its current share buyback program, it has retired an additional round of shares, effective by the end of the day.
The amount of shares retired today was relatively modest, totaling 50 million shares of common stock, but all of them were free-trading shares and their cancellation reduces the "float" of Somatic Systems' stock.
Somatic Systems stated that it is currently in the process of completing much larger additional acquisitions and cancellations of shares coming in the near future. These events, deemed highly beneficial to shareholder value, will be announced to shareholders as they are pending or have been completed in the coming weeks.
Today's elimination of shares comes just over one week after the company acquired and eliminated one billion shares, reducing the company's common stock by over 12%. Approximately two weeks ago, Somatic Systems announced it would begin a massive share acquisition and cancellation program, to restructure the company's capital and grow share price without conducting a reverse split of the stock.
"While this round of share retirements was much smaller than our last one, we are pleased to announce it, as we are dedicated to eliminating as many shares from our stock structure as we can to increase shareholder value, whenever and as soon as we can," stated Somatic Systems CEO Steven Aronstein. "We have much larger buybacks in our sights, and continue to seek additional opportunities to remove restricted and free-trading shares wherever possible."

REPOST OF 4HE'S POST FROM EARLIER!
Posted by: 4HeAlone Date: Friday, September 05, 2008 1:19:21 PM In reply to: None Post # of 13631 Just got off the phone with ceo..we were not done talking..but he had to go and I'll talk again later today.
He said they planning on PR-ing more and BIGGER buybacks very sooon (oops there goes extra zeros in that word soooon)
He said that he didn't want to WASTE a GREAT PR on a big buyback in a terrible week of trading, so he PR'd a smaller one because he wanted investors to know that they ARE coming.
Some general concerns he had had to do with investors thinking he is diluting. He said he is not diluting. Yes he had to issue some shares for the promo campaign and for the cost of the processing of buybacks..and to get the PRs out there to let people know and to keep the vol trading at 200 mil a day..but that's it.
He said that in the last couple of weeks the average daily trading volume has been around 200 mil and before that nothing. His recent release was less than one day's averagage trading vol, but they are a small company and have limited cash flow to do what they want/need to accomplish. He said the new shares covered the cost to grow the company and stock.
He said that some would not believe him, but said to post that the partner that has the 171 mil new shares has only sold 20 mil and only sold at the ask.
In the last couple of weeks when people were saying that the company was holding the price down, they weren't selling at all.

Somatic Systems, Inc. Retires an Additional 1.1 Billion Shares -- Share Reductions Now Total One-Quarter of Stock Structure Tuesday 09/09/2008 8:31 AM ET - Market Wire
Somatic Systems, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: SMAS) announced today that it has completed its third and largest round of share buybacks, retiring another 1 billion, 100 million shares of its common stock.
Prior to the beginning of this aggressive buyback program, Somatic Systems had approximately 8 billion shares of common stock issued and outstanding. Cancellation of this round of shares brings the structure down to approximately 6 billion shares, eliminating approximately 25% of the company's stock.
This 1.1 billion share cancellation is the largest share acquisition and retirement action completed by Somatic Systems so far, exceeding the previous record acquisition and cancellation of 1 billion shares completed on August 25 -- and the company has stated its intention to continue to acquire and cancel still more shares in the coming weeks. The company also retired 50 million shares last week.
These dramatic eliminations of 2.15 billion shares have all occurred within the 20 days since Somatic Systems announced it would begin a massive share acquisition and cancellation program, to restructure the company's capital and grow share price without conducting a reverse split of the stock.
Of the shares retired today, the restricted shares had all completed the process of becoming free-trading. Thus this cancellation avoided a 33% increase in the stock's float.
"We are pleased with the progress of our share retirement program, and we hope it shows shareholders we are serious about building and maintaining the health of our stock structure and increasing share value," stated Somatic Systems CEO Steven Aronstein. "We continue to seek additional opportunities to remove as many shares from the marketplace as possible."
The company stated it would announce additional cancellations as they happen in the coming weeks.

for new people--worth reading about Rick C's visit to the company, last month-------- Posted by: RICK C Date: Wednesday, August 13, 2008 1:33:06 PM In reply to: None Post # of 9071
CEO UPDATES ANSWER'S FOR SHAREHOLDERS-It's a long read but very informative. RC ---------------------------------------------- Rick,
Thanks again for taking the time to visit Somatic Systems and learn a bit more about what we do and about the company. It was a pleasure to meet you face to face and to meet your son. I'm glad to hear he had a nice time too. I can't tell you how much we appreciate the enthusiasm and interest of our shareholders.
As I said, I certainly am always open to finding more ways shareholders can communicate with us and get to know us more. As you know, time constraints are always the biggest factor, but over time I'm sure we will find more and more ways to meet with shareholders and provide forums for them to interact with and learn more about us.
I'm really glad that you enjoyed watching the TV show. I wish all shareholders could see it already, but we can't broadcast it on our own, until it goes on the air. That will be soon though: We expect the first broadcasts to begin by October. Remember that these broadcasts include the Travel Channel and Women's Entertainment Television (WE tv), and 48 other airings nationally. Networks will give us about a week's notice before each time our show is aired, and we will publicize these dates as soon as we get them. We plan to put them on our website.
NOTIFICATION OF TV AIRINGS:
Any shareholders who want to be notified (perhaps sooner than we put it on our website) about the TV show airings should send their first and last names and email addresses to investorrelations*..., with a short message telling us what they want or with "REQUEST TV NOTIFICATION" in the subject line. They will then be placed on an emailing list -- and as soon as we get the TV dates we will send them out to this special list. (Make sure to include your first and last name, as our system requires that to protect against fake email addresses, and may reject you if you don't.)
I appreciate that you asked me the direct questions that you wanted answered for the shareholders and the members of the message boards. As I told you on Friday, and as I have said in the past, we have no plans for a reverse split.
Our alternative approach to improving the price per share and the volume is more aggressive IR, investment of capital in growth of the company and the presence of Somatics that we think will excite the shareholders and make SMAS an even more worthwhile investment.
We will be resuming significant IR efforts right away. Yesterday, we began working with an IR firm that seems to have had great success with companies such as ours and with much higher issued shares and floats than ours. In addition to working with them over the next few months, we are also getting ready to work with additional groups that will help promote awareness of SMAS over the rest of the year and beyond.
In terms of share price growth, I certainly understand shareholders' concerns. I also know that concerns include the amount of outstanding and free-trading shares. Keep in mind, however, that even with our present share count (about 8b outstanding, with about 2b in the float), the company is significantly undervalued: There is no way a company like ours -- with a lucrative, proprietary pain relief system (including our reliable delivery systems of training and clinical expansion blueprints already established, tried, and tested) that beats the results of ANY OTHER TREATMENT FOUND in the $90 billion industry of physical therapy, orthopedics, chiropractic, pharmaceuticals, massage, and surgeries -- should be valued at approximately $500k. Conservative estimates have placed our real value on the PinkSheets at greater than $5 million (and higher). Even without addressing dillution OR growing the company in any way, this would mean our shareprice should increase 10 times -- and even that alone would be great profit for anyone who invests now.
However, on top of that, you know we plan to grow the company aggressively over the next few years, and start that this Fall -- with national Television shows, new websites, work with hospitals and sports teams, and branding and PR campaigns.
Remember the ADDITIONAL things we discussed that we will be doing to address share price: We are currently meeting with our accountants and auditors to begin the process of becoming fully reporting and to Uplist to a higher stock exchange, such as the OTCBB. We think this will catapult SMAS shares to a completely different level of share price, volume, and stability.
Even before Uplisting, we will be releasing regular financials to stay current with PinkSheet requirments. We will be announcing that in the next month or so, but expect these financials to come out in the fall. In the past, financial reporting resulting in our stock maintaining a Bid and PPS and volume increases.
We have seen recently, even in this economy, several companies with MUCH greater dilution than us see big PPS gains, and we are striving right now to do the same. IN ADDITION TO THAT, however, we are looking into various additional possibilities to increase value, including buying back and/or canceling some outstanding shares. As soon as we determined the best strategy for this, we will let shareholders know.
We do intend to do press releases on these topics, so this information is more formal and wide-reaching. To that end, we are waiting at least until next week, so that our IR folks can make sure PRs reach a wider audience to maximize their effect.

Just talked to CEO: He was running out the door to pick up something for today's graduation ceremony. SMAS is graduating a class of students that have successfully completed 26 months of training and recently passed their final tests. I may talk with him later tonight (if not tomorrow), but in the minute he had I asked two fast questions.
1) You're not done with buybacks are you?
Answer: No, not at all
2) News coming?
Answer: There maybe some pretty good news coming
