LMAO! No they had to stop using that film. It seems that every time they shot a picture they had to write another report to explain the damage to the evidence! And imagine what happened when they were shooting a suspect! The film wasn't good for repeat business. <VBG>

Well we're not in SAFR because of Barrington's. We weren't even aware of the info until we received the fax from the company. We had actually been in this one for about 6 months at that point.
I have AFRI on a watch list since Cav pointed out the web page and the connection. Other than that I know nothing about the company and even less about Barrington's. Safari is another story....
Most of what I know is already posted on Safari. On the upside they are a real company with real products making real money. They have affiliations with Smith & Wesson, specialized marketing programs, which include organizations such as GSA and a network in place for their camera-recycling program. The company survives on its own income while pursuing new products, ventures, distribution and distributorships for additional, related products. You can actually call the company and get an update on progress.
The downside is no PR (withholding judgement on downside here!) and they are not fully reporting, yet. This too shall pass...!?!? Mort (the CEO) has stated adamently that we will not be a "pink sheet" stock! IMHO this will be a big factor in their success or failure. This is not a startup company so I lean more towards success than failure. I am overdue for an update but my last report had the "accountants calling daily" on the filings.
I discussed the Barrington Report with the company. It was not a paid report and it appears they may have been "wooing" Safari to get some business. AFRI, based on their report, appears to be a different story. Heck, I was hopeful Safari was finally doing something to promote the stock!
We own TOOOO many shells. It's nice to have a company that has a "real business". The only sour feeling we have to Barrington's is that they didn't gain more attention for the stock<g>! From what I have watched both stocks are thinly traded and not overly volatile. If they really have potential this does not make them a bad long. Safari has potential, maybe you should dig deeper into AFRI.
Whatever you do, good luck.

Hmm. I don't really know anything about SAFR, but it does sound like it could be good. As far as I know, AFRI is legitimate, but I have been digging for information. Is there something you know that I don't know about it? That's just the way it sounded. Anyway, SAFR may be worth a look. Thanks. |

I actually know nothing about AFRI. My point was more towards thinly traded stocks. They are not "Internet stocks" subject to massive hype, naysayers, doubt touters and pump & dump schemes. You may find that there is a real company making more unpublicized results than the internet favorites. You may also find a non-complacent company that is trying to market peace signs & bell bottoms. What chance does a company like that have? <g>
Debra and I had considered selling SAFR at one point. The stock valuation didn't justify our continued support. A friend from SI suggested that we determine why we owned the stock. I listened and redoubled my DD. After several hours on the phone with the CEO I/we decided to stay. You could find something similar in AFRI...or nor.
We're done following. Sharing info worked with some and not others. At this point all info must be verified. We feel more comfortable making our own mistakes. <VBG> We have provided the basic info to check out this stock. We hope our sharing works for others willing to do their own DD.
Well back to the wars<g>,

As you may note we are way behind in following anything and everything! We're looking at year short/long term gains and losses. Currently we hold this one in both positions and it looks like hold is the operative word. I know they have distribution deal in process and are comfortable with the fact that they don't hype the stock on something that might happen.
Filings would have been a nice Christmas Gift but We're not holding our breath!
I have watched AFRI for some time. Glad to see you are getting news releases. Wish we could say the same!
Happy Holidays,
Jeff & Debra |
