    That allows you to park outside the gates of the fenced in building that the computer will reside in. That's a solid investment on your part.
     
  3. Cost me a thousand bucks. Hahah. Better deal than Scientology.

    Someone on Twitter put - You're selling $0.003 dollar shares for $5 dollars.

    Can you explain that part by any chance? Is he just overvaluing himself?
     
  5. Basically with how many shares are out there already, and how many they are trying to sell, compared to their financials of assets/liabilities. Net capital divided by outstanding shares gives a good idea of a stock’s book value. (This is very simplified btw.)

    And the structure for what you actually get with these shares and who maintains ownership and voting rights in the company makes it even worse, and the dilution structure can collapse that $5 value very very fast.

    Sleekest of beaks. So Good.

    Using dollar bills as toilet paper is a smarter investment than this.

    "Tom DeLonge – awarded UFO Researcher of the Year awarded by The OpenMinds.tv 2017"

    Writer of "I Want to Fuck a Dog" would've been at least equal, or better, than this.

    Just the next step of Tom DeLonge's transformation into our timeline's version of Charles Xavier.

    Ok fine. You're right and this sucks.

    Still better than Nazis in the street, though, right? I get that's a low bar to clear, but is that safely cleared here (I'm legitimately asking, as I don't understand business)?
     
  10. We have cleared the Nazi bar.

    This is 2017.

    It's $5 a share, minimum of $200 have to be bought.
     
  15. This is way weirder than when he tried to make all of his fans get into Modlife.

    I was wondering if I was the only one who remembered about it.

    This is really weird. Seems like he's creating a company just to pay himself a guaranteed $100k a year (if I read that right?). In addition, as Jason has pointed out, there's literally no basis for this company or what they will even do.

    At least Modlife attempted to give the people paying for it some sort of experience and access.

    This is like.... "Hey guys we need money. We're not sure what for. And you probably won't get it back. Or ever see any results. But we need it. For science."

    Aliens, can we have the real Tom back now? You obviously took him in 2004 and replaced him with a copy. This one isn't doing it.
