IMPORTANT SITE UPDATE - BLOG SITE MOVED

PLEASE NOTE:

BAR-K Investors HAS MOVED. We found a website that offers better functions and features as well as a more aesthetically pleasing layout. Please click the link below and bookmark this new site:

This blog is a safe place.  You can post anonymously.

Today we challenge you to take a step forward, hopefully fueled by the distressing news regarding the Siena.  We're not giving up hope.  We are continuing to educate ourselves, to uncover the truth and, ultimately, we will use these truths to recover what is rightfully ours.

We've had enough of the status quo.

Have you?

Mortgage Fund '08 September 2010 Newsletter

We received the September 2010 MF '08 newsletter in the mail this weekend. Thank you to Walter and Kelly for keeping us abreast of the latest developments.

At first blush, the outlook seems rosier for the '08ers than it does for the REL'ers or the RE Reno'ers.  '08 doesn't have a $60+ million line of credit and isn't contemplating a secondary loan of $20 million like RE Loans, nor were they subordinated to junior status like the RE Loans noteholders.  '08 also isn't a secured creditor staring down the barrel of a bankruptcy filing by Wild Game Ng/One South Lake/Hi-Five like RE Reno.  That's the positive news.

The not-so-positive news is embedded within the newsletter and many of the statements beg for further clarification.

A Spotlight on Kelly NG

One fourth of the B-4 partnership happens to be a BIG volleyball fan.  He plays volleyball.  He coaches volleyball.  He even trains for volleyball by dancing along with some sort of video game. 

Money Manager, Volleyballer and Dancer Kelly NG was highlighted in this SF Chronicle blurb.

That, my friends, is 1/4 of the B-4/Bar-K/RE Loans/Mortgage Fund '08 brain trust.

Labor Day Weekend

Today is Friday, September 3rd, 2010.  Labor Day is on Monday.  It's also the day before most kids go back to school across the country.  The importance of Labor Day to investors in the Bar-K family of funds is that the majority of the investors *must* labor, more often than not because our investment has stopped paying interest.


It is going to take a lot of energy to continue the fight to recover our money lost to the NG dynasty.

In that spirit, may you enjoy the national holiday to the fullest.  Rest, relax, sit in the sun, have a cocktail, a picnic, or a barbeque and, hopefully, take some much needed time with family and friends.

Kelly NG. Volleyball Coach / Fund Manager. WHAT WERE WE THINKING?

Math Camp

It's summer, and children across the country are having the time of their lives at camp.  Maybe it's art camp, perhaps it's religious camp, or something more athletic like soccer camp.  I figured the good readers of the Bar-K Investors website might want to join me at math camp.

As we all know, there are too many people who have had to end their retirements and go back to work.  Some have had to stop watering their lawns, or scrap the remodeling of their homes.  Others had to swallow their pride and move in with family members.  Even worse, some of us have skipped medical treatments or been unable to pay our medical bills.  I have heard stories about some unfortunate noteholders losing their homes to foreclosure.  It's far from uplifting.

Is Mortgage Fund '08 A Ponzi Scheme?

Sadly, the Courthouse News Service looks like the only outlet interested in covering this $64 million issue.  Then see this document (page 6 Box 13).  You'll notice that the total amount sold is actually $84,868,977 according to Coach K, everyone's favorite volleyball coach/fund manager, brother of Barney and, of course, son of Walter.
