DING DONG...
HELLO...
DING DONG...
That's what they were yelling.
I was out back and heard them, but I was thinking...
This isn't going to end well.
Now I have nothing to go on to assume that except past history...
So I might be wrong?
But they knocked on my door (but I do have a door bell so that must be some kind of protocol i.e leave no fingerprints) and here's the kicker...
My wife thought it was me and said come in, it's open!!!
Oddly enough, they backed up instead of coming in. My better half did the reverse psychology mumbo jumbo that tripped them up.
I walked out to the front and they were confused as to who to talk to and who was the decision maker
They got the really nice me today. Monday would have been very different.
The not so nice would have had a knife to their tire of their beat up truck on my property and said..."State your business?"
Instead they got...
"How can I help you gentlemen?"
"Sir, how would you like to invest in a penny stock startup????"
"VERB shares are now at a 200 to 1 discount and a better long term hold than S&H green stamps.
What?
OK, JK.
"Sir, we are doing deliveries in your neighborhood today and selling PRIME beef and would like to 'cut' you a deal today. Do you want to see our beef? You aren't one of them Vegans are you?"
Was thinking, their driveway marketing skills have room for improvement.
A beat up $50 freezer in a rusted out 'white' truck. What's their not to like?
"Naw, I get my meet from Costco. If you have a brochure, you are welcome to leave and I'll take a look, but respectfully, I'm not buying anything today."
What I should have done is block their truck and called the police but who does that?
for those that been around the block...

"But ours is better!!!"
The devil on my shoulder was telling me to jerk them around a lot, but the other guy on my other shoulder said they will get pissed off and break all my windows or burn my house down later.
You couldn't script a scam any better though.
Some dog n cat meet in a 25 year old electric freezer that looked like it was found on the size of a road that wasn't even plug in.
"Show him!!! Show him!!!", one is screaming.
"The Beef?, the other one asks.
"No our..."
So some scam thing in plastic is pulled out.
"Go ahead! Scan the QR code!"
I'm thinking...Crap, this must have cost you a fortune to encase in plastic.
Scam artist code: Don't leave any paper trace.
prompted me to log into Facebook.
No thanks.
Guess what?
The company doesn't exist.
So what would you do?
Do you humor them and let them on their way?
Or you make sure they never scam anyone again?
Hey red that rarely happens.
So similar con men pulled the driveway sealing scam on my neighbor many years ago and robbed their house. Because no one help -$2000
My other neighbor they coated their driveway with oil which basically f'd his driveway.
But stock crimes are committed everyday and most look away
But if the SEC charges you with stock crimes, most get away with it.
So is it...
1.) Hey red you can't fix stupid or your driveway!
or
2.) People should step up and help neighbors?
I said from the get go I wasn't doing this for me as I see my Son fooled by Crypto prophets, etc.
I chat with a lot of investors and 100% of them say...
Had I know before what I know now...Blah Blah Blah
So why isn't anyone else wanting to pass it forward?
Or is it backward?
Sideways?
Most investors sit in shock like they been to a Diddy party covered in oil and wish it would go all away...
Instead of doing what I believe is the opposite.
So maybe VERB communicates their vision one day after 3 years in the bunker, but I like to take challenges head on and control in my own hands

Prolly depend on what side you're on.
Gamblers that bet always calculate their outs
While VERB is down, they are not out like 89% of startups
VERB exploding was just one of my outs, but really my Son's.
Another one is...
Testify to congress the %#@&* are in on it and corrupt was the other extreme.
But that prolly wouldn't end well.
But what is in-between?
Gots some ideas.
May as well chit chat about it if anyone wants to discus while VERB figures out their Vision
When one gets past the head rolling, some realize it's all fo show.
Charles said "Quite the expensive learning experience."
I've now halfway through my second cat of 9 lives. While this has not panned out dollar wise of learning experiences among all the others, it's been the least deadliest and without physical pain like some of the others. I am one that likes to take risks so I understand the other side of the equation.
