False press releases by public companies

No, I did not. My private investments are well into the black for this year.

But with that said, I would still like some rembursement from Zale for making those claims and missing their Q3 report release which they had rescheduled numerous times.

Zale is not an ordinary penny stock, nor is Citigroup or many more that became penny stocks because of last September's financial crisis. They are otherwise large cap companies which are temporarily crippled. They have the resources and the skills to be responsible.

Fraudulent reports seem to happen a lot in the precious metals world(retail and production), and in the tech world the most.

90% of tech companies are formed by people who have no idea how to really produce what ever it is that their company produces. They are simply good at fundraising and business organization. There aren't a lot of companies like Apple anymore. They are not in it because they made a small company and got an IPO, they are doing it as part of a group venture strategy pipeline of startup to public corp in the same type of assembly line as a cheeseburger is made at McDonalds, and they are often times very sloppy and not often held accoutable.

It would be nice if that changed.

Since this is a Microsoft forum, let's talk about the Yahoo! Inc deal. When that went south, why weren't the leaks investigated?

Leaking potential deals and or potential funding is not responsible. I think executives should be more responsible with information.

Prostitutes make a fast buck. They're legal outside of Vegas in Nevada. Is it human nature to be a prostitute?

Even if it is human nature, does that mean executives can't wait before something happens to announce it to the public in a responsible manner?

"If you don't want to act on things that may turn out to not happen then don't act on them. Seems simple enough."

I'll stick to crying about it afterwards thank you very much.

I'm not yet using that system to trade. I am trading based off of news released to the public, investor relations emails and calculations of betas, floating shares, and SEC filings like everybody else that does investment research.

"Maybe you should have subcontracted to some indian company"

No thank you. My other project using the project's web server clusters is doing well, and moving along. I am focusing on that right now because it is closer to release and has the support of a small VC, and a few other people at hosting companies.

"Yeah. Go America!"

In America we have the right to believe that a publicly traded company is releasing honest information. I know how they roll in Sicily, but this isn't Italy or Canada. AKA the north American mafia connection.

We have a reasonable expectation of truth and safety here. Our nation is not a playground for the mafia and gangsters. When it is, it gets cleaned up. This isn't a European or northern version of Mexico. Capiche?

Oh, she's American, she must be responsible, right?

Yeah, we know how you all roll,  ...Benito Mussolini wanna be.

Deteriorated quality of life is worse than death.

Living under the constant threat of the mafia in countries that tolerate it like Mexico, Italy and Canada because mafia members "are people too", is as bad as being dead. Wait, it's worse, because at least when you're dead, you're at peace.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfonso_Gagliano

"Born in Siculiana, Italy, his political career began in 1977 ..

From 1996 to 2002, he served in various cabinet posts including Minister of Labour, Deputy House leader and the Minister responsible for Communications Canada, Canada Post, the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, the Royal Canadian Mint and Canada Lands Company Ltd. His most controversial positions were as Minister of Public Works and Government Services and as political minister for Quebec.

Following his career as a cabinet minister, Gagliano was appointed as the Canadian ambassador to Denmark. However, he was dismissed from this position on February 10, 2004 by Foreign Affairs Minister Bill Graham amidst widespread speculation that during his time as public works minister he was actively involved in the sponsorship scandal.^[1]"

"On November 17, 2004, an article in the New York Daily News alleged that Gagliano was associated with the Bonanno organized crime family. In the article, former capo Frank Lino, now an informer for the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation, is quoted as saying Gagliano was introduced to him during a meeting with other mob members in Montreal.

Gagliano's name has been linked to organized crime. In 1994, La Presse reported that Gagliano was the bookkeeper for Agostino *rera, cousin of cocaine baron Alfonso Caruana, who was involved in a gangland slaying of Paul Violi in Montreal in 1978. *rera was subsequently convicted of murder.["

Your federal public contracts, albeit accepting onlne proposals, www.merx.com is run by the Italian mafia.

Your crown corporations EDC, BDC and Farm Credit Canada are largely run by the Chinese and Italian mafias.

http://www.cbc.ca/canada/montreal/story/2008/08/30/gagliano-farm.html

"Alfonso Gagliano, a former Liberal cabinet minister in charge of the mismanaged federal sponsorship program at the heart of an extensive public inquiry launched in 2004, has bought a Quebec vineyard with a government loan of more than $500,000, according to a media report.

Montreal's La Presse newspaper reported Saturday that the purchase of the Dunham vineyard in Quebec's Eastern Townships was registered last Friday in the Quebec Land Registry for $733,687. The loan from Farm Credit Canada, a federal Crown corporation, was for $550,000."

Why is the Queen chartered Farm credit Canada loaning an ex-Mafia boss and man who pocketed millions in federal money a half million dollars to buy a vinyard when this man has absolutely NO FARMING EXPERIENCE?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbus_affair

Also, your prime ministers are illegal arms dealers and crooks essentially working for the mafia and appointing them to key positions within your government both locally and nationally.

Your head of state is the leader of the biggest mafia of all time."The sun will never set on the british mafia"

The Vancouver Italian software industry is funded directly by the international mafia to launder money.

More to come...

I have more findings, but I will refrain now as you will probably dismiss other findings as well.

I don't accept that a government should be run by the MafiaS of several European countries as well as it's own.

The people of these countries are mad at their own government, and they end up taking it out on America. Mostly because they have no hope of getting any justice or equality in their country. Mexico, Canada, Italy, ect...

Carlos Slim, Conrad Black, ect...

They're all heralded as heros until you find out what they were really doing. As far as Canada goes it's a 3rd world country in my eyes. Not a good idea to invest on the TSX either. As a matter of fact, you shouldn't invest on any exchange where 95% of the trading is insider trading.

You can't even scan in a check or bills at a Canadian ATM. Canadians deposit a check at an ATM in little unmarked envelopes and they have to wait days for funds to become available.

There is no such thing as free checking or worse, free business checking there and the fees are outrageous. Top that with the fact that the currency is highly unstable.

They're at least 5 years behind us with everything.

What banking system are you talking about?

What laws?

The law of no free checking, high bank fees, legal monopolies, subsidizing rich bankers and their families, so they don't need to spend any of their private bonuses, colusion between the federal government and private banks to fix the price of the dollar?

I can imagine they saved a lot of money not having to lobby for anything because they get it by default.

Go corruption!

My and every other person in America's money is perfectly safe in the bank, no fees assessed thanks to the FDIC. So what did you as a Canadian get out of this personally?

You are aware that all of the money the US tax payers put into Citigroup and other bailouts will be paid back and then some right?

The price per share almost doubled since the US got them in exchange for the bail out, and they are going to sell them back in early 2010.

Let's talk about the Export development Canada investment into GM in Ontario.

Let's take a walk down the not so distant memory lane:

May 26, 2009

http://www.edc.ca/english/docs/speeches/2009/mediaroom_16482.htm

"The Government is also using Canada Account to provide $4 billion in loans to assist GM and Chrysler with their restructuring – again administered by EDC’s employees."

This was carried out by Mr. Stephen Harper, successor to Mr. Paul Martin and all his heirs in May of 2009 through the crown corporation known as EDC.

This was a massive buy in on GM in Ontario RIGHT BEFORE it declared bankruptcy, to pay the salaries and bonuses of the friends of the ministers. They were running out on payroll.

So where did this money come from, who told them they could use it this way, and where did it go?

A. This money came from the Employment Insurance federal fund paid for by small businesses in Canada.

B.  The Queen, her majesty told them they could use it in the EDC charter which gives them the power to use billions in IE and other money from poor and underprivilaged people along with small business owners to give to their friends, and family. Oh yes, and the families of their friends, and their friends too. See Gagliano buys a vinyard with 1/2M from Farm Credit Canada in my post above for a common and under reported example.

C. Where did it go?

Visit the following link:

And search for "Export Development Canada"

You will find the corresponding documents in the GM New York Bankruptcy filings which dismiss GM from billions of Canadian tax payer dollars worth of liability. These documents were filed only 2 months after the Canadian government gave them 4 billion of your money to pay for private jets, and the salaries of people who pretty much stepped on CAW members.

I hate to tell you this, but this didn't happen to America. This happened to you. As a Canadian person, you don't even know what your own government is doing. Most Canadians do not even know who their head of state or representative is. The same is true of Mexico, Italy and a lot of other countries that work this way.

Oh, and we still have far superior banking here. No matter who owns the banks now. BTW, my bank is now owned by Chase and the service has only gotten better.

http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2009-10/30/content_12357783.htm

"The measure is financed through a combination of a tax surcharge on wealthy Americans and spending constraints in Medicare and Medicaid.

    Specifically, individuals with annual incomes over 500,000 dollars as well as families earning more than 1 million dollars would face a 5.4 percent income tax surcharge. Medicare expenditures would be cut by 1.3 percent annually."

Take a wild guess why something like this would never pass in Canada?

Do you know who pays for public medicare in your country? It is the working poor.

Their EI money has now been robbed as well under crown corporations acts. In America when we have a surplus, we reduce the tax rate.

Go and ask your ministers to eliminate the health tax on the working poor and middle class and to put the burden squarely on the shoulders of their friends. See what happens. Go ahead and write them a letter. Don't expect a response on Saturday.
