Agree 100%. If ASM doenst keep clean, the bad press people will throw out there will not allow ASM to have a good reputation and suffer some long term consiquences.

You just hit the nail on the head... now, let's see how many more realize what's going on

I think it's all just a shortage of money at the moment. ASM needs cash to pay the traders. Every deposit at the moment probably goes directly to someone who is waiting for a withdrawal. ASM is just trying to keep it's head above the water untill something happens that will attract a lot of new traders. So hopefully there is going to be a big article or something else in the beginning of September. ASM got the CC deposits back, but probably in an illegal way. They are throwing with free ASMA1 shares with the "stop betting and join a scam" competition. Just to get some money in quickly I think. Hendog is trading for a living, so he's probably makes big withdrawals every month. He's still posting in the forums so his account isn't suspended like some other accounts are. Remember that ASM can make everybody happy with one post about what's going on. And I'm not talking about the IPO cause they are not allowed to talk about that, just about the audits and state of withdrawals. And I believe they can't make that post because they can't give an honest answer to what's going on. And I'm sure that not every trader is treated in the same way, which makes a post to explain the process almost impossible. There's only one person in this world that can stop all the so called negative posts in the forums and that is Chris. Instead he makes the situation even worse by accusing people of having an agenda and he treats them with disrespect. He never answers the "difficult" questions. The total lack of communication and the disrespect from ASM management towards it's customers is what's hurting ASM, not the sceptical questions people ask in the forums. ASM is a great idea and I think it could be succesful for years, but a great idea also needs a great manager to make it a success. And ASM management probably f* up a great idea in 2 years time. I'm also sure that looking at the past projects and friends of ASM management that greed is probably the reason for this all. And greed is probably a major reason for a lot of the cheerleaders at the moment too, otherwise it's just plain stupidness. Even if there will be an article or something alike and a lot of new traders will join ASM and withdrawals are paid again, I will be very careful in the future investing any money there again.

Hendog's last post definately deserves this years ASMie for best drama (http://www.allsportsmarket.com/forum....asp?MID=79970). I almost had a tear in my eye.

Lol Roflmao!

Chris must be much better at coning people over the phone.

Wished he posted in the forums what he told Hendog so everybody could see he has a vision. At the moment he seems a little short sighted, making the state of the exchange rather blurry.

Hendog made this post today:

A sports derivitive market, and stop trying to make money off of the ASMA1 and new releases, and put some effort into bringing more people in to trade the teams/players we have here allready, and not water down ASM to the point that nobody can sell anything unless you sell it for under $5 bucks or are lucky enough to have a market maker on one of the teams/players you invest in.

I've been here too long, and it is really starting to take its toll. I have become someone that doesn't trust anyone, and to believe that ASM is heading down the golden road, is something that I want to believe, but everyday that passes that another deadline is missed, another big thing that is suppose to happen, never does, and on we go, waiting for the next big thing to be annouced.

Well I ask everyone, take a long hard look at what ASM is and how it has effected you for better or for worse. I think many people such as my self, will look at how amazing the concept is, and will also see, that moving forward with this concept was all you ever wanted, and now it seems to be sitting with a foot on the gas and one on the break, leaving a dirty cloud of smoke over ASM.

I'm not going to make a list of missed deadlines, but I will start to keep track of how long past the 'set' deadlines these things take to happen, if they ever do.

98% of frustration here is because of missed deadlines, and the loss of trust between the client and the product.

I know I jump from bandwagon to rubber dingy, but the bottom line is, I've done as much as a 26 year old from a basement apartment, in Ontario could of done to help out ASM. So my heart was always set on watching this thing become legit.

ASM is like that team that everyone thinks should win, everyone wants them to win, but nobody is sure if they will. There is either to much of something or not enough when a 'team' ends up with the title of the best team not to win. So the common thing would be money. We need more money, so really what we need is more people. It doesn't seem like rocket science to me.

ASM needs more people, pronto, or the skeptics towards what ASM really is, are going to win. I hope that the people running ASM are working day and night, to see that this thing gets off the ground soon, cause it has been a long, painful, and one of the most stressful things I've ever dealt with.

Sorry about the ramble, I just don't know what to think, so I'm thinking everything, it seems to be the best way not to feel let down around here.

His friend Logaperc has a trial account and the article featuring Bernie, the athlete he introduced to ASM, seems a long time away. I think Chris should give him a call again before we get anymore drama on ASM. Otherwise Hendog might think Chris is taking advantage of him and Bernie.

When is johnnyq going to open his eyes.

It's starting to get an interesting thread on the ASM forum. Seems like even Tahoesb and ICE have fears and frustrations. Looks like ICE doesn't even withdraw money at the moment, he's reinvesting everything. So that explains him not having a trial account.

get ready to see the site fold shortly... and yes, that further proves my point that you won't go trial until you try to withdraw...

And I think Johnny is related to Chris, they look like cousins...
