IT IS 8:30PM EST. 2 1/2 HOURS LEFT BEFORE JONES IS SUPPOSED TO GO UNDER. WILL SODASTINKY BE RIGHT? DID BASEBALL AVOID A STRIKE? STICK AROUND AND SEE IF SODAGURU'S PREDICKTION COMES THRU.

I wonder if Jones has complied with the US federal trade commission regulations and have had there Books certified? There is only so long one can hide there debt.

Does anyone know?

Ahhhh.... just minutes away! They'll probably hang on for a week or so just to spite us all and then disappear into the beverage dustbin!

As I said all along, if someone is going to keep pumping money into Jones, they will stay around past August. But let any Joners debate that. The Company has yet to make any money, so the only way to stay in busines, is for one of the big stock holders to keep funding it, in hopes it will break out of its 6 year slump. Besides, they must be smart...last year Peter had a salary of $90K, and got a $100K bonus. I wish my company would double my salary if I got my sales to decrease.

Polaroid's upper management granted themselves a total of $19 million in bonuses a week or so before declaring bankrupsy.... Why do people like this get rewards for destroying their companies? Did Petey ever work for Polaroid, or Enron or Worldcom?

The true way to stop that is to not buy the product; not invest anything in the company. Vote with your wallet, man!

Sorry, Ron; can't help you there! It's not in my best interest to help you cause your employer to decrease sales. My sales of your product keep rising, so I apologize but I'm going to have to keep things moving in the direction they're moving; I owe this to my customers!!!

ITS NOVEMBER AND JONES IS STILL HERE.

So is Communism, but that doesn't meen it's any good.

Yeah, Jones is still here, but as I said, and after they fully denied it, their 3rd quarter numbers say that they pulled out of the East Coast. But hey, can anyone tell me how much money they made? If they are so great, and been around for so many years, they must be making Millions by now? I can't see Mr. Van Stolk still making excuses every quarter on why they loose money.

Jones has gotten what they deserved. If they're still around anywhere, I'm sure they wear dark glasses and use the back exits whenever possible
