Re: MetaNetwork Media is coming to the SLCX.....
/me scratching head.......

Cadence, if you plan on going forward in Jan 2008 with your plans, whether the IPO sells or not, then you must have some cash already available. This coupled with the major stock grant mentioned earlier makes me wonder, why are you offering this IPO in the first place? From a business perspective it would seem to make more sense to keep the stock closely held and not dilute your earnings potential. If I was an officer of your company I would vote against an IPO, especially if I have already contributed a significant amount of cash and/or sweat equity. Of course that is probably why I am not an officer of your company! :-)

Re: MetaNetwork Media is coming to the SLCX.....
Thanks for your response, but I don't think it answered my question.

I meant no offense by my question, it was just a matter of business. I still think you and your principals would be better served by closely held shares rather than an IPO.

To put it bluntly, what exactly do you need the IPO money for, other than what you have stated in your prospectus? You are offering 1,000,002 shares for IPO out of 16,000,000 shares. At L$5 per share, that is quite a bit of money. More than what MECH was asking for initially. However, based on prior posts by you personally, it sounds like you already have the majority of this covered since you have stated that you are going ahead with your project as planned in Jan. 2008 whether or not the IPO has sold out. Why do you need our 5 Million or so? Are you doing us a favor?

Just an opinion and a question.

Thanks.

Whatever. I still don't think you answered my question, but maybe I am being dense in my old age.

Anyway good luck to you. I have had my say and that is all.

Arnaud Villota 		General Investment Discussion » Longterm VS Daytrading ---- think twice....
Re: Longterm VS Daytrading ---&#45
I will throw my 2 cents worth in here. I have yet to understand why CEO's are really concerned about "daytraders". First off I agree with Sully that no real daytrading takes place, if it did I wouldn't have such a problem balancing my portfolio with my miniscule limit buys and sells. :)

Secondly, I also agree with Sully's point that an interest in a stock, whether good or bad, is really good in the long run. (I aplogize to Sully for stretching that point) I am in this for the long term as well, but remember the long term in SL is about 2 to 3 months, if we are lucky to survive the latest scandal, and that is stretching it! So if I can do a little day trading and make a bit of profit to offset my high risk longer term investments, then so be it. I don't see where I am hurting anyone.

My concern is, and where the education should come in, is the point of what IPO's are supposed to be really for. I think MECH took a hit (to use an example I am intimately familiar with) by people who held out on the IPO and took advantage of the lower prices when MECH finally went to market. Some of those people actually believed that the stock they were buying, AFTER IPO, were actually funding MECH! (I am not talking minor Lindens here, I am talking of 100K lindens plus!!!) They didn't realize that they were only funding other traders, not MECH at that point. The opportunity to fund the MECH dream was over as soon as the IPO went to the trading floor. I think that has happened to a lot of companies here and on other exchanges, because people really don't understand what the process is and what an IPO really represents!

If CAPEX were to do anything to help with this, I think education along the lines of what IPO's are actually about will really help the entrepeneurs among us. I believe a lot of people look at IPO's to make a quick buck and don't really understand what the underlying philosophy is all about. Some basic classes on this topic, sponsored by SLCAPEX, may go a long way for all of us.

Re: Flickr site for R.I.O.T. (MECH)!
So if I understand this correctly, If I make a promotional video (or Image) that I wish to show anywhere in RL or SL, then I can do that without prior permission as long as I provide the copyright to such video or image to RIOT?

Well that simplifies the process, however I would recommend that you and a select group from YEP approve such media before it is released. I don't think blanket permission is a good idea. However if people just want to upload to the Flikr site without going anywhere else, then that is ok!

I think an official post as to the wording of the copyright is in order, how about something like:


© Copyright 2007 RIOT MECHS.

or

© Copyright 2007 RIOT MECHS and it's Licensors/Associates. If we need to cover YEP! or other developers as well.

Just some thoughts. I don't want to be a wet blanket, but I think we should all respect the work that you and YEP have done and not take advantage.

Thanks.

Re: MNM IPO Q & A
So the rumor is that the acquisition is SLR?

If so, is that really good for you and for SLR?

Just wondering.

Thanks.

IMPRESSIVE
I had to start a new thread. I was just out at the Riot Mech Combat Sim. Only one word will do! IMPRESSIVE!

Great job guys! It is looking better and better! Oh and by the way, I have tried on the Mech Beta Suit that you have graciously provided and it is impressive as well! I can't fit into my house anymore! lol! I am working on a promo for my local television feed in Minnesota. Hopefully I will have it done fairly soon and submit to ImA for approval before broadcast. I would like to promote what is coming to generate interest in my local market.

Your progress is very, very welcome and appreciated!
