Ironstone Group Inc (EM) (IRNS)

Yes, but look at market caps of some of them. They also added a bunch more races to predict.

Didn’t realize they had ever paused(?). Just that they had probably lost dramatic market share to their competitor….

DB-- did you notice Predictit is back in business?

Imo everything they have tried has failed; tango ‘might’ pay off our liabilities someday. So the hope is they are just treading water to maintain an operating entity until they can reverse merge an asset into here. PCAOB auditor is critical but probably need to officially monetize tango for anyone to sign off on that

Db-- you have any further insight into IRNS ?
They're totally quiet
Thx

Expert market until they get an auditor; only accredited investors can bid/buy and I believe it’s blind as there are no posted/maintained bids/asks

Thanks, DB. Do you get a market on the shares?. Some say nobody makes it-- but we both know it traded at a ridiculous price a few months back

10Q filed; like that they're starting to file and keep up on it again.

Thanks, DB

Wondering what Tango does in revenues now? Had no idea they paid dividends . The tender for shares is confusing, too

10k filed, interesting:

"On December 22, 2023 Robert Hambrecht was appointed Chief Financial Officer of the Company, replacing Mr. Gene Yates, who remains with the Company assisting with accounting and bookkeeping duties."

"Mr. Robert Hambrecht was granted 50,0000 options in January 14, 2024 at an option exercise price of $1.99 per share, with an expiration date of January 14, 2030."

"The Company has been unable to contract a PCAOB auditor for an examination of financial statements and records. The Company continues to search for an auditor."

10Q filed, interesting tidbits:
"On February 5, 2024, 50,000 Stock Options were granted to the Company's Chief Financial Officer Robert Hambrecht at an exercise price of $2.00 per share."

"On January 3, 2024, the Company completed the sale of 15,448 shares of Ironstone common stock at $2.89 per share, in a Tender Offer made by TangoMe as part of a management reorganization. The proceeds of $44,721 were reflected as a realized gain of $11,663 and a return of capital of $33,058.



On May 3, 2024, the Company received a dividend of $75,687 from TangoMe.

Thanks. Looks like they made an effort to disclose holdings, etc. maybe they’ll get off the “ expert “ market.

looks like they lost(?) or abandoned the ironstone domain? .....now up for sale

10k, excerpts:
"
The Company has been unable to contract a PCAOB auditor for an examination of the 2022 and 2021 financial statements and records. The Company continues to search for an auditor.



Due to the Company not being able to secure an external audit, the SEC removed Ironstone Properties from “Retail OTC” and place the Company in the “Expert Trading” category of the OTC during September 2022, thereby reducing trading liquidity.

"


"
On November 30, 2022 the Company renewed its’ note for five years, replacing the note issued April 1, 2012. The renewed terms are 7% interest rate, maturing November 30, 2027.

this all looks recent within the last 2 months'ish

Wonder if they’re still filing?

I am hopeful Db- those guys bought stock relatively recently.

i view this as possibly the opposite; maybe something 'new' being put there.. we'll see

Uhoh— Stuff happens !

hmm, as of today when i go to the website i'm seeing this:

Making money? Cash flow positive?

Tango, $400m run rate; too bad we are no longer in a hot M&A environment... Should have exited while SPACs were all the rage-

same answer as last time... see post 484

Current quote?

there is no quoting available as they are now on the grey sheets; some clarify from the company would have been nice...

assuming they take the effort to fill out the appropriate forms and get a market maker to sponsor them, i've read it can take 3-6 months to get back on the otc quoting again-

i use tda and they won't allow me to even place a buy order for irns.

So , how do you get your quote, Db?? Are they just not filing now?

ha.. we wish....

Quote?

Ironstone owns shares of Aristotle via Mayer and Hambrecht transactions.

Predictit is a New Zealand-based online prediction market that offers exchanges on political and financial events. Predictit is owned and operated by Victoria University of Wellington, with support from Aristotle, Inc.

Both Aristotle, Inc. and Predictit are located in Washington, DC.

Trading markets!

due to 15c2-11; i have notified a few related parties as to the issue fwiw. as of yesterday, i believe it was 1.15 x 4.50 if i recall correctly

Anybody know the quote now that it’s not transparent ?

Must be a big player, huh?!

well the 400 share bidwhacker is down to 200 shares now .....

Unaffiliated public ownership: 230,365

From your lips to gods ears!! How many shares did you say were in non-management hands?

appears so; could be a low-float rocket with the right news and/or momentum behind it(?)

Must be very thin , db?!

Exactly! Sit tight

Everything you’ve stated would be a lot of effort for nothing if we’ve already seen the plan

Time will tell

They bought $200,000 of an entity valued at 150 million—- so I can’t make that leap, DB. But they’ve now filed for a year , dismissed the debt, peppered the pots of two directors and are up to date. Nobody does that without some intent. I’m hopeful!!

guessing this entity merges with Aristotle???

so we quickly spent the money from Harold's share purchase on Hambrecht's Aristotle shares

what's next?

last friday 8k, doubled our holdings in Aristotle? "On May 9, 2022 the Ironstone Properties Board of Directors approved the purchase of 5,037 common shares of Aristotle, LLC, a privately held company at $19.853 per share from the personal holdings of Ironstone Properties Chairman of the Board of Directors William Mayer for a total of $100,000. William Mayer and CEO William Hambrecht abstained from voting. This transaction was executed on June 16, 2022. The sales price was determined using a company value of Aristotle at $150 million."

wow; lake lots for around $2k... sign me up! https://sauk.granicus.com/MetaViewer.php?view_id=2&event_id=21975&meta_id=103155

Posts 457 and 459; appears Aristotle, LLC has or had partnership ownership in Aristotle, Inc(?)
