Why keep releasing news if no one can buy your stock because you are stuck on the expert market?
You recently had a shareholder meeting in September… I can’t believe that shareholders are okay with the company not taking steps to be current. The last time they this company was current- Elvis was still performing
Are these two activities (shareholder meetings and financial result pr’s) just to keep the custodianship wolves away? Ya know- minimum requirements so that your company can’t be taken over?
So… you’re making a profit.. How about taking some of those dollar bills and updating otcmarkets so that news like this will actually matter
Yup- it takes money… but clearly you have some because you keep paying to have PR’s about quarterly financials

Hopefully the most recent shareholder meeting with the election of officials means that the company is being professional and taking steps to be pink current… like all companies should
There is absolutely no reason why SPMI shouldn’t already be pink current on otcmarkets
If you can have a shareholder meeting, then you can do the paperwork to become otc current. Hopefully, it’s a means to an end. Time will tell, but they definitely have work to do
Would be nice to see them get current on otcmarkets so that this news actually mattered to investors
No one can buy. What’s the point of issuing a PR? I don’t understand
So… why Pay the money to release a PR about quarter three financials when you are on the expert market and nearly no one can buy? How about getting current?
As I had been saying for years, SPMI has been keeping the shareholders in the dark and not dealing with them, and by not filing they just took a big dump on the shareholders. Worthless now, glad I sold. glta
Years back the Snow King Resort in Jackson Hole was a public company through
Western Standard Corp
The CEO was in his 80s. I got shares as low as .015. He wanted out and I asked him what he wanted for his shares. Within about 3 months the vice-president of the company bought out the CEOs shares for .29 cents -- then bought out the rest of the outstanding shares a few months later for .30 per share.
Crazy thing was after evaluating the situation and believing they were deliberately allowing price suppression (possibly for future "fair value" opinion) I began buying the stock at .05
Right after I bought at .05 they lowered to .04. and right after I bought at .04 they lowered to .03, and so on until .015 and then they began raising again. I bought from .05 down to .015 and back up. They had a very low OS and I think I was only able to get around 70k shares on the cheap -- but nevertheless...
Cha-ching!
I love penny stocks!
"I'm scouting for a broker that will allow me to buy the greys."
No one seems to be finding those, at least in the US. And if you find one the costs and spread will be outrageous. Lots of noncompliant junk OTCs on the sales block before next week. Be sure to report back if you find anything.
This is one of several non-compliant stocks I decided to hold. I have one that just became compliant and moved up around !00% from my entry and still go up.
Another just bumbed their bid up from .05 to .13
I'm scouting for a broker that will allow me to buy the greys.
I just checked out ten random stocks on that list and all but one was at or very near low for the year. Not good when the broad market is still near its all time high.

That doesn’t speak to any of the points that I made at all.
This seems more like fearmongering
"Please note: After the amendment officially goes into effect on September 28, 2021, it may be more difficult to liquidate these securities. Quoting and market liquidity may also be very limited."

No shit, Sherlock. I use TD as my trading platform too. Do you think we all don’t read and are aware of this?
On another note- OTC Markets has stated that companies that aren’t compliant by the deadline will still be able to become compliant at a later time if they file the necessary paperwork. Though they may initially be moved to the gray market, this move back to the otc can come at any time. At that point, they will be quotable again on otcmarkets and tradable for buy and sell orders.
SPMI recently had its shareholder meeting. I doubt it will be compliant by the deadline, but would be very surprised if they did not become current sometime soon after. This will be true for many companies as they often do things on their own watch. Welcome to the OTC
"On September 28, 2021, new amendments to Rule 15c-211 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
go into effect to enhance investor protection and improve issuer transparency. These amendments
restrict the ability of market makers to publish quotations for those companies that have not made
required current financial and company information available to regulators and investors.
Ahead of the regulatory enforcement date, TD Ameritrade will only accept orders to liquidate positions -
(i.e. no new buy orders) starting on or after September 3, 2021. Please note: After the amendment
officially goes into effect on September 28, 2021, it may be more difficult to liquidate these securities.
Quoting and market liquidity may also be very limited.
The list is below as of September 20, 2021 and is subject to change at any time."

They probably did- but I voted by mail. Couldn’t make the meeting
Actually I am out of town,and without the “mailing” , but now I distinctly remember the notice saying they would be taking questions after formal presentation. Etc etc
Ok ty, I was under the impression they were actually having A shareholders meeting as well, I guess I misread The paperwork
Did anyone show up ??
On the day you made this post the stock was trading at .0014
Today the BID is over 3X the price. Not only that, its had a run to .019 which is over 13X that price
RIDDLE ME THIS. HOW MANY STOCKS ARE YOU HOLDING THAT HAVE GONE UP 3X YOUR PRICE IN THAT LAST 2 YEARS?
I'm not suggesting you or anyone else by this stock. I merely decided to park some of my money here believing that it will do better here than in the bank.
I'm a big boy. I know penny stocks can go to ZERO. I have dozens of them that have.
If you know anything about this business you know the revenues were not and are not ZERO.
Here's there last news release:
Speedemissions, Inc. Provides Second Quarter 2019 Financial Results
Wise decision, I blew it
I ended up selling my whole position here between .012-.014. Too many thoughts of this loser management running through my head. I will re-enter at .003 or less if possible, I never imagined I would beat this stock. Good luck to you.
What is up with all the volume?
Looks like shares hands exchange, New base in the works...before next HOY

Yes it’s the unknown that creates the dark area, and frustration, I have another one I am heavily invested in, FLXT, do you have a great product and they have been around for many years, but they just can’t seem to really get off the ground, they have been very quiet for the past few months, but I am in no way given up any hope
The most frustrating thing isn't the pps, its the lack of transparency from management. I have a similar stock situation in dbrm, except that the ceo gets back to me within minutes when I email him.
Yes it’s quite frustrating, shoulda coulda woulda , just like me selling 5 million shares for peanuts, and so close to this major move,UGH As they say, this too shall pass, they just didn’t tell us that it would take many years, LOL
I will hang on to some, and keep in my mind the years of .0009/.002 bid and ask lol
Yes, it’s quite the crazy game, I would say something is definitely going on with speedemissions , so be cautious don’t jump the gun on this one,I will be watching extremely close myself
I really hope you get it, or most of it back. I thought even when they closed some locations it may be a good thing but we cant even see the numbers any more. I sold one chunk friday, I will look to get even with another chunk and hopefully make a profit. My fear is that after this active period it could be more years of this being dead.
Friday I came home around noon after a long night of plowing snow, I was tired but I placed a buy order for a few hundred thousand shares of a stock on the hot list, It was down about 25 percent at the time, it filled and I immediately place a sell order for .0007 higher than I paid which was just under the stocks break even point for the day. I took a nap, then got up before the market closed and the stock was still .0029, the I looked in my account and the stock went up filled my order and went back down, LOL. I need to keep more fun money in my account.
I lost 60 K, I was convinced they were going to make a major move with their big business plan, hopefully I can get 30 40 or even 50 k Back if it goes to a nickel, when we find out what’s going on, maybe I will even hold out for more, just keeping my fingers crossed, God only knows a lot of us I have a lot of years invested here, not to mention the money
What will remain in my mind is the 8 years of almost no volume, the huge spread bid/ask that has always been present and the managememt, rich p. not ever addressing shareholders about anything. This is an easy stock to get stuck in. The only good I see is the fact that over the years they really could not have diluted much as there has been no interest or volume. I probably purchased close to when you did but I purchased a lot less.
I don’t recall it being that high, at any rate if it reached a nickel I would be jumping through loops LOL
We should test at least 2013 high 0.13 cents!!!
I hear you, best of good luck, happy trading !!!
It was literally scrapped, money loser
I wonder what happened to the auto recycling in alabama
I’m going to take it a bit further, I truly believe something is going on here, I hear they filed for something in Florida last month, I heard that today but haven’t had time to check on it,TTYL, and yes the pain is deep
I feel for you, I certainly am going to take profits at this point. As far as I know this is the same company as a month ago and I will treat it like there have been no changes. I bought this when it was running probably 8 years ago and have been at a loss ever since

As of September 30, 2016, SPMI operates 22 vehicle emissions testing and safety inspection stations under the trade names of Speedemissions and Auto Emissions Express (in Atlanta, Georgia and St. Louis, Missouri) and Just Emissions in Salt Lake City, Utah).

Automotive Aftermarket and Emissions Testing IndustryCurrently, there are approximately 250 million light duty vehicles on the road and over 85% of these vehicles are outside the manufacturer's warranty. According to the recent study released by BB&T Capital Markets, the nation's leading automotive aftermarket investment banking and research firm, the automobile aftermarket is an estimated $307 billion industry, comprised of the $231 billion light vehicle aftermarket and the $76 billion medium and heavy duty aftermarket. The research also showed that, historically, vehicles in operation have exhibited consistent growth despite wide fluctuation in new vehicle sales and economic conditions. In addition, the research found a clear trend toward an aging vehicle fleet that has accelerated as a result of consumers maintaining their vehicles. As of 2016, the average age of cars and light trucks reached 11.5 years, which compares favorably to the aftermarket "sweet spot" for repair of 8+ years. A significant and growing sector of the vehicle aftermarket is the emissions testing industry. Americans currently spend over $2.5 billion in emissions testing in the 32 states (and District of Columbia) that are required by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to have vehicle emissions testing. In 24 of these states, testing can be conducted by independently-owned businesses such as Speedemissions, Inc |
